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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlMqo489v7
"Good morning my princess," says Ramon as he plants kisses all over my shoulders and neck. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rV64T2qkY
"Good morning, my love."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5C9B47Q5p
"Did you sleep well?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNBWi5EAa
"I did, I always do when you're by my side," I say, turning around to face him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tLSMwebn
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIEmGY4DMB
"It's my mom."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TIJfrbKI5
"Are you not going to answer it?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0O01Usai
"I am, but, I'm just confused, we haven't talked in a year," I say as I answer the phone.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby5BARHVRm
"Hello?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXrTRBP6sP
"Celestia, thank God. Are you okay?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjKkDw5fTf
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikXoXiAhmX
"I just heard that Mike kidnapped you and I panicked. It's all over the news honey."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLtP6Faj6
"Wait. What?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88dxbGiyJk
"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?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHgK20QY38
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRozPMEMGH
"Oh my God, Mom how much do you know, what did the news say?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlMYXDuJNm
"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?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5xdP8iWs
"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-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwJfgVhVk
"Well, they found him dead a few yards away from his house in the woods."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6UCk0ofgt
"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?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sN9VLsvLe
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJTMXTDO2d
"I'm not gonna be at the apartment."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0XvyAnxM
"Then where are you now?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NW5fLBnjb
"I'm living with Ramon."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQ5gbVPKC
"That's fine, I'll be there by the afternoon. Send me the address."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwmCQIAXq
"Mom you can't just-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IIm4F9lf
"Don't test me, young lady, I want to make sure my baby is safe."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuNfpT08vj
"Fine." I sigh. "I'll see you later."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCu0yRTo6C
"I love you. I'll be there soon."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbhl3iNVcu
"I love you too mom," I reply and hang up.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD6d0IaqxI
"What happened sweetheart?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDF8DU3cdL
"My mom is coming to see me."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTuQ0nqlDT
"What's wrong with that?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiZPrpqLmK
"She can be a handful at times,"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3XwzLiUPB
"Aren't all mothers?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlj3yQhYM
"I guess so, but we need to head back to New York. I think-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PcdIFrwgM
Ramon's phone rings. We both look at it and he picks it up, answering it.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMDJmXwcq
"Slow down. No, I haven't said anything to anyone. Alright, I'll be there soon."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsEJ26p1J7
"Who was that?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlvns5mLOJ
"My lawyer, rumors are spreading around that I killed Mike."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIJaCaHIwx
"That's what my mom told me,"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSFohQsg1X
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlbkMc87zH
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTattJ4jjgw
"Y'all okay? You looked pissed more than terrified."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y06xYw3yo
"We are," Ramon responds.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WaO64ghT
"Celestia, just keep your head up, it'll be over soon before you know it."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmFlTHwQp
"You already know what's happening?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46iwj6gw8T
"Gosh, it's on every TV station. They really have it out for the both of you."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8UF8sblKT
"Both of us?" I question. "What did I do?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOdBfIk2H
"Nothing, it's just a bunch of women trying to get under your skin as well as get their fifteen minutes of fame."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyoZLYjpYw
"I just want to go back to yesterday," I sigh and squeeze my eyes shut.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliQ0BC0M2H
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh5Joq2qJv
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrukSAwBmN
"Did you kill Mike?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nmnaOcgm
"What is Celestia to you?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqN0zVZAr7
"What's your relationship with Mike Celestia?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViimYi7BIs
"Are you a stripper?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Os9xQsFd
I close my eyes and try desperately to close them out as we walk to the front of the house.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLi1QeMERA
"I'm giving everyone five seconds to get off my property, or I'm fining all of you for trespassing," says Ramon boldly.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8auxzDGp
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICDqcZfSfM
"I'm sorry, my love," says Ramon as he pulls me in for a tight hug.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjOt4szt7
"Sorry for what? This isn't your fault. People are just ignorant."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmbNjcYZ7S
"I know, but you're clearly upset, and you know I don't like seeing you upset baby."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDHAH0MHSp
"I'll be fine, let's just clear everything up and get this situation out of everyone's heads."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYFNvr8TRQ
"Alright, first let's get some food in you, then we'll go to my lawyer and figure everything out."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1yyNbWsrk
"Don't forget we have to be back before my mother gets here."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUBiIfMcFB
"I didn't forget, I have a car waiting for her at the airport that will bring her here.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjKZsSJyy
