Celestine's POV Just how hard can it be? I just have to convince my mom to let me spend the last two weeks of my summer holiday with Lorenzo. No biggie. How hard can that be?I head downstairs and into the kitchen to see my mom making breakfast. Standing at the entrance for a minute, I go over my plan again in my head then I walk over to her, leaning on the cabinet beside her. "Good morning, Mom.""Good morning. Hope you slept well." She smiles brightly at me and then goes back to flipping the pancake on the stove."I did. How about you?" I lightly push her aside, nudging her with my shoulder and taking over the frying of the pancakes."I did. Thank you," she mutters, untying her apron and dropping it on the counter. "So mom," I start, placing the last pancakes onto the pile of already fried ones and turn off the stove. "I and Eve with some group of friends were planning to go on a road trip before the summer is over. You know, get a little bit of fun in before the workload starts."
Lorenzo's POVI stand outside my father's door, contemplating my next move. Celestine has done her part. The whole plan depends on me being able to carry out my part and I'll be damned if I don't at least try my hardest.Knocking on the door, I stand back with my hands shoved into my pocket."Come in," His deep voice calls out.I place my hand on the doorknob, turn it, and enter into the room then I close the door behind me."What's it, Lorenzo?"Who would have thought that the person I hate the most shares a similar face structure as mine? That he would be my own fucking father?I want to scream. I want to yell at him and ask him why he did that. Why he ruined my life? But doing that won't solve anything. He will figure it out. He's not an idiot. He will find out somehow that Celestine is the same girl he sent that message to. I'm just going to keep it all in until the time is right. Until I can stand in front of him and make him provide answers to all my questions. I'm going to st
A few days later.Lorenzo's POV I never thought I would be back here. I step inside the beach house with Celestine behind me."It looks the same," I say, taking off my shoes and switching on the light by the wall. The place lights up and everything comes into view; the blue walls, the hardwood floor, the framed seascape wall art, the seashell-adorned mirrors, and the view. Jesus, the view. It's the best thing about the place.Celestine walks past me and opens the door to the balcony overlooking the beach. She leans on the railing, her shoulders tensed. I know her mind is running wide with the impulsive decision we both just took. Personally, I believe in doing something and then facing whatever the outcome may be head-on. Celestine is a different breed from me. I'm sure she's wondering if she took the right step by running away with me for two weeks. I need her to stop thinking.Walking over to her, I wrap my hands around her waist, pulling her back to my chest and resting my chin on
Lorenzo's POV I carry Celestine to the bedroom with her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. She refused to walk, claiming that I had eaten the strength out of her legs. I couldn't even argue with her. Setting her on her feet, I take the towel draped around my neck and wrap it around Celestine, soaking up the droplet of water on her body. Then I do the same for myself. I drop the towel into a hamper in the bathroom and head back into the bedroom to find Celestine sitting on the edge of the bed, her legs tugged under her ass.She pats the spot beside her and I walk over, taking a seat. Before I know what's happening, Celestine pushes me onto the bed by my shoulders then she straddles my hip, my hard cock pressed between us. "Just lay back." She presses both my wrists into the bed."Ok. If you say so." I cross my hands behind my head using them as a headrest.Celestine smiles and places a chaste kiss on my lips then bypasses to my neck. I'm not a sensitive person by nature by the fe
Lorenzo's POVI've never been happier than this- with Celestine's head on my chest and her light snores brushing the hairs on my body. Running my hand down her back, I lay there, thinking. I can't shut the thoughts out as they drift into my head unbidden. What's going to happen to Celestine and me after these two weeks are over? Are we going to keep our relationship hidden forever? Is there even another option for us?Sighing, I press a kiss against Celestine's forehead and she snuggles closer to me. My chest squeezes.I'm not going to overthink this. I'm just going to enjoy each and every moment I can get with Celestine for however long that might be.Slipping out from under Celestine proves to be a difficult task. She is like a vise wrapped around me. It takes me prying her arms off my person for her to let go but thankfully she doesn't wake up from all the shuffling around I did. Instead, she grabs a pillow and clutches it to her chest. Great. I'm jealous of a pillow. Just how low
Celestine's POV "What should we do now?" I ask, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching Lorenzo towel dry his hair, his bicep bulges, making my thighs clench together. 'Stop that Celestine,' I chide myself internally. Has Lorenzo turned me into a sex addict? Or have I always been this sex-starved?"How about a movie?"A collective agreement and a few minutes later then Lorenzo slips underneath the cover of the bed and props the bowl of popcorn on the bed between us."What are we watching." He asks as I start the movie. I had been in charge of picking the movie while he got the popcorn ready and I had chosen a random one off Netflix that had a good rating. "A walk to remember." Lifting the bowl of popcorn, I slide over to Lorenzo, burrowing under his arm which he drapes around my shoulder. Our joined thighs make for a makeshift table that holds the popcorn. Yes, I'm like a cocoon.The movie starts.Halfway through the movie and I know I've screwed up. How is this supposed a ro
Lorenzo's POV Who's at the door?"Go hide in the room." I mouth to Celestine, standing up and moving to the door but not opening it. I watch Celestine scurry into the room and wait until she shuts the door behind her before I turn the knob on the door and open it."Hey." It's Joey and Louis.I nearly slide down the door as relief pours over me in waves. Opening the door wider, I step aside for them to come in."We saw the light on last night and seeing as nobody has been here for years, we thought someone broke in." Louis stops in the middle of the room, looking at the mess on the table consisting of cards, poker chips, and an opened bottle of tequila. He turns around and arches an eyebrow at me, "You have a guest with you?""Yes." I move over to the room and knock lightly on the door. Celestine opens it, creating just enough space for her to fit her head through. "You can come out now." I shift to the side so she can see Louis and Joey."Of course," Louis says, smiling and walking o
Celestine's POV "What did you need to get?" I ask Joey as we step into Walmart."Don't tell Louis. Or Lorenzo," she warns, pointing a finger at me.Ok, now I'm interested in what this is. I nod, agreeing to her condition."I'm getting a pregnancy test," she beams, practically glowing in total.My mouth drops open, my jaw meeting the floor. It takes a while before I pick it back up. "What?!" Odd looks and glares are thrown our way. "What?!" This time lowers but still not losing the surprise that can obviously be held in my voice. "That's fucking fantastic news." "I know," she says grinning then her smile dims. "I'm not sure though and I didn't want to tell Louis yet in case it turned out to be nothing but a false alarm.""Let's go find out then." I take her hand, interlocking our fingers together, and drag us into a pharmacy. We head over to the counter, get the test- three different kinds just to be accurate- then find a bathroom to take them.I wait outside the bathroom while Joey
