Celestia
I look at myself in the mirror across from the bed and smile. My hand goes up to feel the velvet collar and I sigh happily. There was a time when I thought that I would never end up in a wonderful situation like this. Especially after Mike ended things with me for the last time. But here I am, with a man who showed me nothing but love. Not only does he love me and I love him, but he also made me love myself in a way I never thought I could.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Aco5zKF29
"Good morning my princess," says Ramon as he plants kisses all over my shoulders and neck. 344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPXHdlzCg
"Good morning, my love."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B9DIBvfWi
"Did you sleep well?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStEHePzuK0
"I did, I always do when you're by my side," I say, turning around to face him.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQelCm7Osv
He takes my right leg and moves it so that I straddle him. I lay on his chest, letting his breathing move me as he combs his hands through my hair. Out peaceful moment gets interrupted when my phone rings from the nightstand. Ramon grabs it and hands it over to me.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9Yg99CAq
"It's my mom."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tgJ9WDRF
"Are you not going to answer it?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRReEfZAPh
"I am, but, I'm just confused, we haven't talked in a year," I say as I answer the phone.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHs6smHLl
"Hello?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlWTEjefTZ
"Celestia, thank God. Are you okay?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECGgZPkBbd
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdrWJraRg
"I just heard that Mike kidnapped you and I panicked. It's all over the news honey."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7HfGfZZt0
"Wait. What?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptImkVNjt
"Yes honey, there are pictures he took of you and some billionaire, Ramon Osgood right? I must say, some of those pictures concern me. Are you sure you're okay?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutuS25bWo3
"Yes, I am mom," I say as I move to grab the remote for the TV. I turn it on and shuffle through the channels until I see the news. There was a picture of Ramon and me in bed, a picture of me dancing at the club, and another picture of me sitting at my desk.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq3xv26lOB
"Oh my God, Mom how much do you know, what did the news say?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY4nOlxcEs
"They said that Mike took you back to this home in Tennessee and held you there for days. Then they said that Ramon went to Tennessee to find you and when he did he killed him. After seeing those pictures as well, C, I'm worried about you, how could you not tell your mother about this?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyKkrTwlUv
"I-I don't know, I'm sorry, we haven't talked in a while and I didn't think it'd be this big of an issue. Who released the photos anyway? We didn't permit that. And Ramon didn't kill anyone-"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuVwXyCk6
"Well, they found him dead a few yards away from his house in the woods."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREnlBzokm
"Well, I'm telling you it wasn't Ramon, when he found me he took me straight home, my friend James was there as well. What the fuck is wrong with people, butting into people's personal lives like this?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBmxXJwMrw
"I don't know but, I'm coming to see you. And I don't want to hear anything. I'm coming whether you like it or not."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YHCDhmqPu
"I'm not gonna be at the apartment."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyidEJ80jf
"Then where are you now?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuslWIIN3zg
"I'm living with Ramon."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gZ8Wmhoqi
"That's fine, I'll be there by the afternoon. Send me the address."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWnVhuUyRz
"Mom you can't just-"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0uQlEMpnk
"Don't test me, young lady, I want to make sure my baby is safe."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0ori72a8
"Fine." I sigh. "I'll see you later."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tdlbtSVmt
"I love you. I'll be there soon."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxO5bwHMoy
"I love you too mom," I reply and hang up.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8eETb7qz
"What happened sweetheart?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQ1lVR9Qt
"My mom is coming to see me."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSta3kL7AZ
"What's wrong with that?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPGrYVTBeU
"She can be a handful at times,"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpNgQeOnon
"Aren't all mothers?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wln1XCSRh
"I guess so, but we need to head back to New York. I think-"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfLqSTVTPj
Ramon's phone rings. We both look at it and he picks it up, answering it.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdt71tY7u2
"Slow down. No, I haven't said anything to anyone. Alright, I'll be there soon."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnAiklCga
"Who was that?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmAuX1ozSe
"My lawyer, rumors are spreading around that I killed Mike."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn8v6OuH3S
"That's what my mom told me,"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczwMTFer7a
"Yeah, it's fine though, Thank God I brought James with me, otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to back me up. Alright, let's go see Wyatt and then we gotta go."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqueao4SYGp
We get up from the bed and we rush to put on our clothes. When we finish, we walk to Wyatt's and knock on the door. Aurora opens it and looks at us questionably.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1hkGAzODz
"Y'all okay? You looked pissed more than terrified."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q9nYqfwsL
"We are," Ramon responds.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIAagJgwyv
"Celestia, just keep your head up, it'll be over soon before you know it."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapGmLQ4DP8
"You already know what's happening?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUChajnblH7
"Gosh, it's on every TV station. They really have it out for the both of you."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Y0kSbZUW
"Both of us?" I question. "What did I do?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD2EEjElPr
"Nothing, it's just a bunch of women trying to get under your skin as well as get their fifteen minutes of fame."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKAi5L1lsT
"I just want to go back to yesterday," I sigh and squeeze my eyes shut.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyRdIEGd6M
"We're gonna be fine princess," whispers Ramon as he pulls me close and kisses the top of my head. "Thank you Aurora, tell Wyatt he can have the rest of the week off as well."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZcTKDh7gE
"You're welcome, get there safe you two," she says as we walk away.

When we step out of the car, reporters, journalists, and random females engulf us. Ramon tightens his grip on me as they attack us with questions and claims.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC2eV8HVPZ
"Did you kill Mike?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqe1nnx5Om
"What is Celestia to you?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4FdWlVLU
"What's your relationship with Mike Celestia?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78DUlNwjqG
"Are you a stripper?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ziMyRFbT
I close my eyes and try desperately to close them out as we walk to the front of the house.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEJ8umWnA
"I'm giving everyone five seconds to get off my property, or I'm fining all of you for trespassing," says Ramon boldly.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3pw74gn9
He unlocks the door and we step inside, locking it behind us. I move the blinds, I see them retreating and getting into vans, driving away. I sigh and rub my temple.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdhfgQpDnk
"I'm sorry, my love," says Ramon as he pulls me in for a tight hug.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPd1rleSN
"Sorry for what? This isn't your fault. People are just ignorant."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdkbh6mvJ
"I know, but you're clearly upset, and you know I don't like seeing you upset baby."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiTtsYOg9L
"I'll be fine, let's just clear everything up and get this situation out of everyone's heads."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN73UfHhQV
"Alright, first let's get some food in you, then we'll go to my lawyer and figure everything out."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ677iR2x51x
"Don't forget we have to be back before my mother gets here."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI3dNedUz1
"I didn't forget, I have a car waiting for her at the airport that will bring her here.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJucOLOyge
"Okay, thank you."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptMpSsJCsW
"Anything for you princess."
