Lorenzo's POVI can't do this.My throat is closed up and breathing has become the hardest thing to do. I want more time. Everything is going by so fast and I have no idea on how to press pause so I can savor these last few moments. God, the feeling I had the first time we separated is nothing compared to what I'm feeling right now. And we haven't even separated yet. This might just be what kills me."We're here." The smile on my face as I look at Celestine is faux. It's only there so just she doesn't see the big crack in my facade. "Let's go in." She hops down the car and waits for me to exit the car. I sigh, turning the ignition off and getting out of the car.As soon as we get passed the door, Celestine slams my back against the closed door. Where she got the strength from, I have no idea.Her lips latch onto mine next and thoughts fly out of my head. The only thing left in my mind right now is how to make her mine and how to engrave myself so deep in her soul that even after we'v
Celestine's POV I push on Lorenzo's shoulders to get him to lie down on his back.He begrudgingly does so and once he's laying beneath me, I lift myself by my arms above him and drop a kiss on his forehead. Then I go lower, kissing him on the bridge of his nose and then his jaw.My kisses trail down to his chest and I take a nipple between my teeth, dragging on his nipple ring. Lorenzo's breath hitches and his fingers curl into my hair, fisting it as I trail down lower. I pepper kisses over his stomach, running my tongue on the ridges in it until I finally get to the top of his brief. With a finger, I drop it down and Lorenzo lifts his hip for me to get it off. I drop it onto the floor once it's off his body and head back up to his cock. I lick my lips then dive in, wrapping my mouth around the head of his cock and sucking on it.I wrap my fingers around the part I can't fit in my mouth, fisting it and moving my hand up and down as I sucked on his cock."That's enough." Lorenzo gri
Lorenzo's POV The sun streaming through the opened window is what wakes me up. The empty space beside me is what makes me bolt upright on the bed. Celestine isn't here.The shower in the bathroom isn't running and there's no sound coming from the kitchen. Did she go out?I get out of bed and roam around the house, looking for her. All to no avail. Giving up, I go back to the bathroom to get my phone and call her. That's when I see it. The ring. The ring I gave to her last night is on the bedside table.Not wanting to jump to conclusions, I pick up my phone and dial her number. It goes straight to voicemail. I try it again and get the same results.My head is screaming at me that it's obvious what happened but my heart stays in denial. No. Celestine wouldn't do that to me. There's only one way to find out if what I'm thinking about is true.Slowly, I walk over to the wardrobe, scared of what I might find. Breathing in deeply, I swing open the door and inside it is...nothing. There's
Lorenzo's POV "Really? Same with Celestine." Her head tilts to the side like she's trying to figure something out. Controlling my breathing so as not to come off insane, I ask, "Celestine is here?" My heart is beating a mile a minute as a tiny thread of hope forms in my chest. It's like I never learn my lesson. "No. She was here," Lora walks over to the fridge and takes out a juice can. "but she just left. I dropped her off at the airport. She said she needed to go back to school right away. Something about a problem that she had to take care of." I'm the problem that she had to take care of. "Is that so?" Funnily enough, my heart still has that shred of hope. It hasn't withered away. "Which airport did you drop her off at." "Which airport?" She cocks her head and stares at me like she's wondering why on earth I would want to know that. Fuck! I retract my steps. "It's just that it took you a while to get back to the house and I know the nearest airport is a fifteen minutes dri
One week later.Celestine's POVI hate myself.I'm spiraling down a cliff but I can't seem to pull myself back up. I have been a shell of myself for the past week and I don't know how to stop."Celestine." Eve's voice comes from the other side of my closed door. "Please open the door.""Please, go away. I want to be alone." I wrap the blanket around me tighter."You weren't in class today and I brought over some notes and also bought some mint chocolate ice cream. So, please let me in."I'm only doing this for the ice cream.Sighing, I drag myself off the bed and walked zombie-style to the door. I open it to find Eve with a hand full of books and a mint chocolate chip in the other hand.I snatch the ice cream, leaving her with the books. Climbing into my bed again, I dig into the ice cream and moan around a spoonful of it.Eve drops the book in her hand on the dresser and moves over to the window covered with thick black curtains."Done open those," I yell out. I don't need light. The
One month later.Lorenzo's POV "I hate Mr. Norton," Luke grumbles as we wait in line at the Morning Slup, one of the cafes close to the gym. "Why do I need to know how to find the equation of a tangent line to a graph at a particular point? It's not like I'm going to use it in the future. It's completely useless."I bite my tongue to stop myself from telling Luke that he's going to be using it in the future if he plans to be an engineering. Instead, like a good friend, I pat his back. "I'm sure you'll figure it out."The person in front of us moved off to the side, and Luke stepped up to the counter.“Hi, what are you getting?” the barista asked, flashing him a million-watt smile.“Can I get an iced white chocolate mocha and a plain black coffee? Both large.” He leans against the counter as the lady makes our orders."Here you go." She places the drinks on the counter in front of Luke. "Would you like to take along some cupcakes? They're fresh. I baked them this morning." She blushed
One week later.Lorenzo's POV Today's the day. Today is the D-day.It's my father's wedding to Lora. Luke and I had flown in this morning and we are now seated in the huge church. My father is at the altar with the minister by his side. I can't believe I'm watching him get remarried. That trust fund money better be worth this."What in the world are those?" Luke says in a very disgusted voice.I look to the side and see what exactly had put that tone into Luke's voice. It's the bridesmaids. In very hideous dresses. The kind that looks like a rainbow threw up on it and then ran over it with a car before dumping it in the sewers. Dear God. What did Lora do to these poor ladies?I'm still distracted by the horrendous gowns when Celestine walks in but my breathing stops and my heart starts beating faster. Damn it. What is wrong with me? I'm not supposed to be feeling this way. I'm meant to be boiling with blind rage at seeing her face not wondering if I'm going to have a heart attack.An
Eve's POVSome creep keeps staring at me. And it's starting to get on my nerves. I need to get a breather.I excuse myself from the table I'm seated at and head out to the patio outside. Sighing, I lean against the railing and stare up at the night sky."Excuse me."I turn around and come face to face with the creep that has been staring at me for a while now. I'm an idiot. Why did I think it would be a good idea to leave a populated place and come out to a secluded space? Especially when I know that there's a creep trailing me. Now, we're caged in this tiny space and the only exit is behind him.My heart pounds fastly in my chest. Is this how I die?"Hey. I'm Luke. I was hoping to have a word with you," he says in a deep smooth voice.For a creep, I've to admit that he makes a hot one. His brown hair is sleek back and his amber eyes shine in the low light. His suit hugs his body tightly, showcasing his ripped arms. He would make a very hot killer, but that doesn't mean I want to die
Five years later.Lorenzo's POV"Daddy!" A tiny voice squeals and that's all the warning I get before I feel tiny hands grabbing at my trouser and tugging on them. "I missed you."I look down at my daughter's smile which is missing two front teeth, and pick her up, holding her on my hip. "Where is Mommy?" I ask, kissing her on her forehead."She's in the kitchen with Lucenzo," she answers, wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder.I drop my car key into the bowl by the door and walk into the kitchen to see Celestine mixing a salad in a bowl. Lucenzo is seated on the countertop and dipping his hand into the bowl, stealing some of the vegetables and shoving them into his mouth. The whole scene gives off Deja Vu vibes. I'm reminded of the time that Celestine kept stealing carrots off the chopping board as I tried to make dinner."Daddy's home," my sweet little princess announces for me and two sets of blue eyes lift from the bowl and turn to face us.Lucenzo
One year later.Lorenzo's POVI'm scared of Celestine. Rather I'm scared of what she has become.It doesn't take much to tick her and make her go off. Last night, she started crying because she said I'm always hauling the covers all to myself. She didn't stop even after I gave up the whole thing to her.But this will all be over soon because her due date is two days from today. Then the baby inside of her will be out and Celestine will become my sweet little girl again. The one that doesn't snap at me because she says she hates the way my footsteps sound. They weren't even that loud!"Lorenzo, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," Celestine says from where she's nested under my hand as we watch the vampire diaries series."It's ok. You didn't mean to." I reach down and rub her stomach bump that peeks out of the shirt she wore. Despite Celestine's grumpy nature, I have to admit that pregnancy looks good on her, and seeing her waddle around the house with a baby bump has been the reason
A year later.Lorenzo's POV I press Celestine's face into the bed as I slide deeper into her ass hole."Lorenzo," she moans, trying to pull away from me but my hand on her waist holds her back.I slide my hand from her stomach down her body and push the dildo deeper into her pussy."Oh, God." She fists the covers and pushes her ass back.Sliding out of her asshole until only the tip of my dick is left inside, I look down at her and nearly come as I see both her holes squeezing around the dildo and my cock. "Fuck," I whisper, my breath caught in my throat. "You look so beautiful right now with both your holes filled.I'm definitely going to be drawing this image later.Focusing back on the tasks at hand, mainly on how to make Celestine accept my proposal.I fist her hair and pull her back until her back is pressed against my chest with only our knees on the bed. "So is your answer still no?" I whisper the question into her ear."It's a waste of money, Lorenzo." She rushes out, her wor
Five years laterLorenzo's POV I'm not going to lie and say that these past few years weren't the hardest years of my life. There were. And there were times when I felt like giving up and calling it quit. Times when I felt like going back and groveling at my father's feet for his forgiveness. But anytime I felt that way, all I just had to do was look beside me and stare at Celestine, and wonder if I'm willing to give her away.The answer was always no. Every single time.Now, I'm glad as fuck that I didn't give up. Because I wouldn't be here if I did. I would have been locked away in an office, running a company I didn't want.“This is insane.” Celestine spins around the gallery, her hands stretched out. She bumps into a lady passing and I can't help but chuckle as she mumbles an apology and walks back to me. “I can’t believe this." She looks around. "I’m seeing your work on the wall, in a real show.” She beams at me. "I'm so proud of you."I'm proud of us. Celestine finished her s
Celestine's POV I slip back into the house and immediately head for the stairs. Making sure my footsteps are light, I rush into my room and move to my wardrobe, throwing the doors open. I reach for a suitcase, the biggest one I can find, and throw it onto my bed.Opening it, I start throwing clothes inside. I'm not even looking at what I'm putting into it. I'm just shoving whatever I can grab into it. Next, I head into the bathroom, putting all my toiletries into a small bag which is then shoved into the suitcase. I open my drawer and reach for some cash I had in there. We'll definitely be needing it.Just as I'm about to close the drawer, something sparkling catches my eyes. It's the ring. The ring Lorenzo gave to me. I had shoved it into this drawer as soon as I got back home. I couldn't let his father or my mom see me wearing it so I kept it locked away. Not anymore.Reaching for the ring, I tilt it to the light to see the engravement that has taken over my heart, 'allow me to te
Celestine's POV Tiptoeing down the stairs, I glance behind me to see if I have been compromised.I'm still in the clear. None of the parents heard me leaving my room. I slip out the front door, close it softly behind me, and run out of the property.Frantically, I spin around in a circle, looking for Lorenzo. I can't find him, and just as the tears start welling up in my eyes again, I see a figure hidden in the shadows away from the streetlights.Squeezing my eyes, I try to make out the figure as the person inches closer. It's Lorenzo. I would recognize those shoulders anywhere.Running towards the figure, I wrap my hand around him. "I missed you." I press my face into his chest, inhaling his scent to try and calm my racing heart.Lorenzo's hands also wrap around me. "I missed you too," he whispers into my hair. "I'm sorry I got us caught. Has he told your Mother?""I don't think so. And it wasn't your fault that we got caught. Don't blame yourself." We were both kissing each other.
Celestine POV"You didn't do it for me." Lorenzo lets go of my hand and walks forward. "And you're wrong about me being over her. I didn't forget about her. She's still all I can think about because that girl that you texted was Celestine."It's like a ball has been dropped on the court. The drop of a pin could be heard in this deafening silence. Cade breaks it by speaking. "Celestine was that girl? How's that even possible? Coincidences like that don't happen.""It's possible because you didn't even think to check out who the girl was. You were so fixated on ruining my life that you didn't even bother to look at the picture of her." Lorenzo is visibly shaking and his hands are clenched into tight fists.Cade rolls his eyes heavenwards. "What are you talking about? Ruined your life?" He scoffs. "I sent her a little text message that wasn't even up to three lines. I don't see how that ruined your life."I can't believe I'm hearing this. He has no remorse for what he did. He doesn't se
Celestine's POV"What the hell is going on here?!" A loud thunderous voice booms from behind us.Lorenzo quickly moves away from me but it's already too late because Cade is standing at the entrance of the kitchen with his face a shade of bright red. He had seen everything.He wasn't supposed to be home at this time. What is he doing here?"Did you two think you could fool me?" He drops his suitcase to the floor and walks over to where we are, standing in front of us. "Do you think I'm an idiot? I knew you two would try to go behind my back but I held out hope thinking that you would both do the sensible thing." He scoffs. "At the end of the day, you're just two idiots ready to throw away their future. And for what? Sex!" His face is a shade darker now and spit flies out with his words."Watch your tongue. Don't talk to Celestine in that manner." Lorenzo stands in front of me, shielding me from Cade's harsh words. I try to pull him back away to his previous position beside me but he s
Celestine's POV My phone rings. I pick it up and look at the caller ID. It's Eve.Answering the call, I place it against my ear. "Hello," Eve says as a way of greeting."Hey," I answer, getting comfortable on the bed with a pillow under my arm. It's been three days since I came home. Meaning Eve should have gone home now. "Are you back home?""Yeah. Got here yesterday." A heavy sigh. "I don't know why I'm made to come here every year. She's never home."I rise a bit, sitting up straighter. "Have you seen her since you got back?" I know the answer to that question but I ask anyways."No, I haven't." Another heavy sigh. "Can't wait for when I'm done with school and don't need to be coming here again.""You want to hang out?" I offer. I don't mind going out to cheer her up."Nah, I'm good." I hear footsteps on hardwood, kind of like she's moving. "Enough about me. How are you two holding up there? Do you think his dad suspects something is going on?" The sound of a fridge opening flows
