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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqnbrgXyt9
"Good morning my princess," says Ramon as he plants kisses all over my shoulders and neck. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6VMfr00N8
"Good morning, my love."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUb6A09noW
"Did you sleep well?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1pgKSoO3
"I did, I always do when you're by my side," I say, turning around to face him.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9FGim4JdS
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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH9v6N3izG
"It's my mom."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rjuXSY53T
"Are you not going to answer it?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HTSet82qt
"I am, but, I'm just confused, we haven't talked in a year," I say as I answer the phone.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdqQY3g5Wv
"Hello?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IJD8i5vd
"Celestia, thank God. Are you okay?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRIXGF6lOf
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOHowKu64R
"I just heard that Mike kidnapped you and I panicked. It's all over the news honey."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EFjFQIBZL
"Wait. What?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7wrvKbMcO
"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?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0XOsVs4S
"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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRhWuLpWDe
"Oh my God, Mom how much do you know, what did the news say?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQprevCC1s8
"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?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKBj7FBLHb
"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-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEpxI6mM6S
"Well, they found him dead a few yards away from his house in the woods."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjNz3Qqqjq
"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?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciBnZ9fbgg
"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."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMw7Zp0bGa
"I'm not gonna be at the apartment."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoO5m0sUUW
"Then where are you now?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucHhcqYeex
"I'm living with Ramon."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLfZ6z7ZSj
"That's fine, I'll be there by the afternoon. Send me the address."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsszkrcag8
"Mom you can't just-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJHiT3Q4gt
"Don't test me, young lady, I want to make sure my baby is safe."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfQLv6m08u
"Fine." I sigh. "I'll see you later."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75NJGRen56
"I love you. I'll be there soon."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErb3xK4siP
"I love you too mom," I reply and hang up.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFxY5POQuJ
"What happened sweetheart?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPs0Oqfpfr
"My mom is coming to see me."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Z7kW8QYA
"What's wrong with that?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFtlLQ2aWU
"She can be a handful at times,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrJ3XvvwoK
"Aren't all mothers?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHyDgHsgcV
"I guess so, but we need to head back to New York. I think-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVwEGoaUHh
Ramon's phone rings. We both look at it and he picks it up, answering it.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHKAStwTOp
"Slow down. No, I haven't said anything to anyone. Alright, I'll be there soon."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TMLonULTI
"Who was that?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWI9IT75ff
"My lawyer, rumors are spreading around that I killed Mike."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cKXX65P4B
"That's what my mom told me,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGBaSRE7dx
"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."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8wpyA1sE
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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QA8QI6Ubi
"Y'all okay? You looked pissed more than terrified."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8v5BHR5iw
"We are," Ramon responds.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoO3TWS9Vi
"Celestia, just keep your head up, it'll be over soon before you know it."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6WniulGSi
"You already know what's happening?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG69Mw4cy5
"Gosh, it's on every TV station. They really have it out for the both of you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyolEIgXhR
"Both of us?" I question. "What did I do?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DpObxPDSR
"Nothing, it's just a bunch of women trying to get under your skin as well as get their fifteen minutes of fame."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQMNaKBn5
"I just want to go back to yesterday," I sigh and squeeze my eyes shut.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1miiOHIw9A
"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."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwhrZVhNoh
"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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92b3D3lm0F
"Did you kill Mike?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoetb4O6gV
"What is Celestia to you?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzTBULnQQ
"What's your relationship with Mike Celestia?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV28CAYU90
"Are you a stripper?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjBhoDJc8Z
I close my eyes and try desperately to close them out as we walk to the front of the house.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcduHzEeRI
"I'm giving everyone five seconds to get off my property, or I'm fining all of you for trespassing," says Ramon boldly.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0GT8zsoHc
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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZN8Quu53
"I'm sorry, my love," says Ramon as he pulls me in for a tight hug.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLUsLySFTI
"Sorry for what? This isn't your fault. People are just ignorant."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9U4oEkHel
"I know, but you're clearly upset, and you know I don't like seeing you upset baby."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl2QfKY4PE
"I'll be fine, let's just clear everything up and get this situation out of everyone's heads."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9hXTTPfs
"Alright, first let's get some food in you, then we'll go to my lawyer and figure everything out."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD42DhjgnKD
"Don't forget we have to be back before my mother gets here."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStbQyRx3Ik
"I didn't forget, I have a car waiting for her at the airport that will bring her here.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurV2Fno0Qb
"Okay, thank you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4hYkW4CFZ
"Anything for you princess."
