~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been almost a little over a month since she had been married and things haven't gotten any better. Though she has gotten more accustomed to everything, things had become worst. Luca wouldn't stop bringing home whores 4x a week. She wouldn't stop crying. He hadn't stopped bullying and hurting the living shit out of her. Nothing has become better. But as mentioned, she had started to get used to everything.

Luca had excused the maids and cooks so Celeste would be his literal slave. Celeste had learned to cook from Asha's mom, as Asha's mom was an amazing cook and Celeste also loved her Indian dishes. Celeste's mom has never cooked for her, she's almost 100% sure her mom doesn't even know how to cook anything.

Celeste didn't have a problem cooking or cleaning. What bothered her was that Luca purposely tried to ruin everything she cooked or cleaned. It made her want to kill him in his sleep.

Also, in this short amount of time, Luca had given her a horrid nickname, "Swine, I need my chai tea pronto in my office."

Swine, her nickname became Swine! Out of the millions of words in the English language, he chose Swine! "You know chai tea basically means tea tea? It's like saying spaghetti noodles, which would be noodles noodles..." Celeste said as a matter of fact.

"Speak only when spoken to, Swine." Luca directed at her.

"But you were speaking to m- never mind. I'll deliver your tea to your office, leave me alone." Celeste said the last three words without thinking and instantly regretted it.

Luca grabbed her by her hair, "You seem to enjoy getting my on last nerves. I already fucking hate your damn guts yet the more you do anything, makes me hate you even more." His eyes resembled the clouds during a storm. Grey and intense.

"O-ow, it h-hurts." She said grabbing ahold of his hand trying to pull herself free from his grips.

"You always try to act so innocent and virtuous but you're an adulterous bitch, I know it." He tightened his grip on her hair.

"I d-don't get y-your problem! I haven't done shit to you but you're always so mean! I always try to make us work, even being friends would be fine." Celeste said in between her sobs. She gritted her teeth, "But you! You're always trying to make my life hell on Earth, I DON'T FUCKING GET IT LUCA! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM MY FUCKING LIFE!" She screamed as loud those words as she could.

Her loud voice even shocked Luca momentarily. She had barely sworn at him before let alone raise her voice.

Out of nowhere, his lips crashed onto hers, paralyzing her for a few seconds. His grip on her hair loosened and his hands started to trail down her body and rested on her waist. Celeste's eyes were wide open as she stared at his closed ones. Her hands were still holding onto the hand of his that was gripping her hair seconds ago.

His kiss was rough but his lips on hers felt exactly as she imagined, soft and plump. She felt her body reacting to the kiss. She wanted it to stop but couldn't. He was trying to force his tongue into her mouth and as much as she didn't want this going on any further, her body gave in. She started to kiss him back.

He pushed her against the living room glass door that led to the back balcony, as his kisses became rougher and rougher. She could have sworn she tasted something metallic in her mouth before realizing it was blood, HE BIT HER LIPS! She wanted to stop this before her lips were also added to the list of bruises she had. But the sensation of the kiss was so addictive that she couldn't stop because she had never kissed a boy in her life and it felt exhilarating to her body.

She let out an innocent moan in between kisses, she was running out of breathe but he wouldn't give her a chance to breath.

Suddenly, Celeste realized what was happening and she pushed at his chest with all her force but he had a firm grip on her waist. When she realized this, she slid her body down the wall to stop this. Both of them were huffing from the lack of oxygen.

He laughed at her in a sinister way and said, "Not too bad, but I've kissed better women before. In fact, I've kissed a thousand women who were better than this."

Celeste didn't look up at him, she had her head in between her legs, crying. She couldn't believe she let her body control her head. She should've stopped it the moment it started. The comment from Luca didn't exactly help her either.

"I want my tea in my office ASAP." Luca left.

Luca's POV (because ya know, you gotta know how he feels about this unexpected kiss)

He stormed to his office after she was out of sight. He was angry at himself for kissing her. His hate for her growing more from what he did. What the fuck I thinking? He thought to himself. He had no damn clue on why he kissed her. It just happened under the heat of the moment. Maybe he was just curious about her kissing skills? That must be it.

Her lips were so soft, so innocent, like no one he's kissed before. Her skin so soft to the touch, like nothing he's ever touched before. Her tongue in his mouth drove him insane, even though he won't admit it. The taste of her mouth was driving him insane. Her hand holding his brought him chills. He didn't want to stop but was glad when Celeste herself stopped it. He wanted more. His inner monster wanted more, whether he wanted to admit it or not.

"STOP IT!" He screamed at himself as his punched the surface of his desk. "YOU HATE THAT, SWINE."

Then he heard a knock on his door and quickly fixed his composure.

Back to Normal Narrative POV

Celeste went to go wash her face to look more presentable emotionally.

She needed to stand her ground and pretend as if nothing happened. She wouldn't give him the power of over because of that stupid kiss. She looked in the mirror of her bathroom, her lips showed clear signs of the kiss but she ignored it. It was another way to torture her, she thought. But his lips felt so amazing... SHUT UP, CELESTE. YOU'VE NEVER KISSED ANYONE BEFORE SO THIS PROBABLY FELT GREAT. IN REALITY, IT WAS PROBABLY BAD, OKAY? She scolded herself.

She knocked on his door.

"It's about time!" Luca said without looking up from his files.

Celeste placed the cup on his desk and said, "I'm going to be watching Supernatural with headphones on, so if you need me, call me on my phone."

He looked confused, "Supernatural?"

Celeste had no clue why she had to be so specific about what she was watching but too late to take it back now, "Yes."

She closed the door on her way out and went to her room to watch her show in peace on her iPad.

About half an hour into the episode, someone tapped on her shoulder. She froze but turned around and sighed a breath of relief. It was Dante.

"Oh God, are you watching Supernatural?" He asked.

"Yes! You watch too?" Celeste said excitingly.

"No, but our sister, Beatrix does. She's obsessed with these two hunters. What do they even hunt, again? Ghosts? Monsters? Paranormal shit?" Dante asked.

Celeste frowned that he didn't know what it was but he was probably too busy to watch TV. "Yes. Exactl- wait, Beatrix?? sister?? What sister?"

Dante frowned this time, "Luca didn't tell you about our little sister? Actually, never mind, I shouldn't be shocked he didn't. Yes, we have a little sister a year younger than you. She couldn't make time to visit since you've been married because the Academy she goes to has strict rules and wouldn't let her out even for her own brother's wedding."

"You keep shocking me with new family information. First you're his twin, then you two have a sister. What's next?" Celeste said playfully.

"I know the actors playing the hunters in the show." Dante smirked.

"WHAT? NO WAY." Celeste thought.

"I never said I know them personally." Dante bursted out laughing.

Celeste hit him with a pillow, "You, little!!!!! Got me hyped for no reason at all."

"Hey, hey, hey, sis-in-law. Calm down. You've been hanging out with my brother too much, you've become violent!!" He said jokingly.

Randomly, Celeste said, "I don't want to hang out with your brother. I want Jensen Ackles!!" Celeste pouted.

"Oh, shit. If my brother hears your find Jensen Whatever hotter than him, this Jensen dude is gonna end up dead!" Dante teased.

"Yeah, right. Your brother hates me. I think he'll be glad if I run away with another man." Celeste said.

"Hm... really... your lips suggest otherwise..." Dante examined her lips.

Celeste defensively covered her lips with her hands.

"She finds who hotter than me?" Luca's voice was suddenly heard in the room. Either of them didn't notice him before.

"Jensen Ackles. Her hero, her love, her life." Dante says with a playful smile on his lips.

Celeste blushed as she elbowed Dante. "Ow! It's true though!"

Hearing about another man in Celeste's life made Luca feel some type of way, and not in a good way. He couldn't pinpoint the feeling but he didn't like it.

And then it hits him, "Ackles? Isn't that the guy Beatrix goes on about?"

Dante laughed so hard, Celeste was sure he was going to fall over. "Yeah, he is." He said as he wiped a tear from laughing so hard.

Calming feeling washed over Luca. Oh, so he isn't someone she knows, he thought.

"Anyways, I came here to say that there's a party next week where I'll finally be announcing you as my wife in front of many of my important business partners. You need to dress the part so Lorenzo will be taking you shopping tomorrow."

"Uh... you have a little flaw in that plan, brother... Lorenzo has been promised to me tomorrow for the meeting I have with father." In actuality, Dante just wanted Luca to take Celeste. He needed them to bond. He needed their relationship to become healthier.

"Oh, then I'll have someone else take her." Luca said.

"Why don't you take her?" Dante asked.

"No, it's fine. He's a busy person. He doesn't have to take me." Celeste said as she looked at Dante pleadingly to not push on that topic.

"Why would I want to take her? Besides, I'm busy tomorrow." Luca rolled his eyes.

"I cleared out your schedule for tomorrow. You're free to go. Also, before you yell at me, it's probably best you find her a dress because a little birdie told me Celeste hates social gatherings and barely left the house in her lifetime so she won't know what to wear." Dante said.

Celeste was dreading this conversation. It was true. She barely left her house when she lived with her parents. In fact, she barely left her room. She hated parties. She hated acting put together. She didn't want to mingle with horrible people who killed for a living. Her parents were understanding enough to listen when she didn't want to go to socialite events with them. Probably because she might embarrass them since she never had experience on how to act during the events.

"What? You've never went to a party before?"
Luca looked a little taken back.

"Uh... No- I mean I did go to maybe one or two parties... when I was really really young... Okay, listen. I hate socializing. Is there a way to skip this?" Celeste really hated leaving the comfort of her home. She'd rather be at home watching Netflix, listening to music, reading a book, or watching a Korean drama. She found parties very pointless.

"Oh, fuck. Seriously? This is why you're such an sad pathetic bitch. It's because your parents never took out to talk to real people." Luca was frustrated. That comment made Celeste flinch. He really takes this too far sometimes, jeez, Dante thought to himself as he looked at Celeste's hurt expression.

"You listen, I wouldn't have asked you to come to the event if it wasn't absolutely necessary." He slid his hand through his hair and sighed. "Fine, I'll take you out tomorrow to shop for a dress." Luca gave in.

"YESSSS-" Dante said excitedly but then quickly changed it to, "I mean yes, good. Someone has to take responsibility for her appearance. She has to look good for a good impression." He winked at Celeste. Celeste was straight up confused.

"Okay. I'll be going back downstairs to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. I'm taking Lorenzo with me, if you don't mind." Dante said. He only needed Lorenzo to let him know that tomorrow he's sending Luca alone with Celeste.

"Downstairs?" Celeste asked, confused.

"Yes, I live on the floor right under you guys. Let me guess, Lu-" Dante was cut off by Celeste.

"No! Luca didn't tell me!!!!!! Goddamn, Dante. How many times do I have to say this?" She sighed. "But nice to know you live close-by. Come visit me more often, Asha's too busy with College to come see me."

"Will do, sis-in-law." Dante winked.

"Call me Celeste!"

"That's no fun. I like calling you sis-in-law. It's a kink." He laughed.

Celeste blushed, "BRO-IN-LAW! STOP TEASING ME SO MUCH!!!"

"Dante, tornare al tuo appartamento (go back to your apartment)." Luca said in a stern voice.

"No, stare qui (stay here)." Celeste said back.

Luca forgot Celeste was Italian as well. He almost made a a indecent comment when Celeste and Dante started laughing.

"See ya guys later." Dante left.

"What was that all about?" Luca asked.

"Nothing." Celeste walked away.

Luca started to become a little jealous of his brother's relationship with Celeste. He wouldn't ever allow himself to admit it. Heck, even he, himself, didn't know the feeling he was getting was jealousy (But Ms. Narrator knew aka me lol). He thought the feeling was more hatred for her, but boy was his ass wrong like he usually is.

-----------------------------------------------------------
The car ride to the to where he was taking her was a very awkward and quiet one.

"Uh... can I turn the radio on?" Celeste asked out of desperation.

Silence.

"Do you have an AUX cord I can use?" She asked again.

Silence.

"You don't listen to music?" She asked.

"Hell, Woman, do whatever you want. The cord is in the glove compartment." Luca finally said. Celeste realized that he was acting tense today. He wasn't acting in his usual demonic ways.

Whatever, I won't let him ruin my mood today, she thought to herself. She took out the cord but had no clue where she had to plug it in, "uh... where do I plug this in?" She knew the questions would irritate him but can you blame a girl for wanting to listen to some music?

He starts rubbing his forehead, "I want to throw you out of this car." He grabbed the cord and plugged it in. "Any more questions?" He asked sarcastically.

"Actually, yes. What kind of music do you like?" It was a bold question to ask by Celeste because he has never revealed anything to her in the small span of their relationship.

Luca was taken back by the question as he didn't expect her to even care about his likes or dislikes. Whilst Celeste thought this was a perfect opportunity to get to know him a little, if any, part of him.

"Well, I don't really like anything you like. So put on something you don't like."

Celeste rolled her eyes, "You don't have to act like di- come on, just tell me a song name, genre, artist, anything?" She wanted to know so bad.

It was silent for a minute and he finally answered, "Bruno Mars."

She was NOT expecting him to say Bruno Mars, at all. "Oh, that's great. I'll put on a song I like from him."

She turned on That's What I Like and turned it up loud enough to fill the whole car. This minimized the awkwardness in the atmosphere by a great deal of amount.

"Hey, hey, hey I got a condo in Manhattan. Baby girl, what's hatnin'? You and your ass invited. So gon' and get to clappin'..."

Celeste didn't even realize she was bopping to the song like she usually does when she's alone. Luca glanced over at her, she looked like she was in another world, he thought.

"... Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like, Sex by the fire at night. Silk sheets and diamonds all white Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like..."

The chorus of the song made it kinda awkward for Celeste. She looked at Luca and quickly changed it to Versace on the Floor. Luca was a little confused on why she changed it but didn't question her.

"So, baby, let's just turn down the lights and close the door. Ooh, I love that dress, but you won't need it anymore. No, you won't need it no more. Let's just kiss 'til we're naked, baby..."

"Uh..." Celeste clicked next on her Spotify.

"... Cause your sex takes me to paradise. Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise. And it shows, yeah, yeah, yeah..."

"Oh my God..." Celeste was getting frustrated at all the sexual songs. Luca realized what was making her so uncomfortable. He was on the verge of laughter.  She changed the song yet again.

"... Mm, too young, too dumb to realize that I should have bought you flowers and held your hand. Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance..."

"Jeez..." Celeste started saying but was cut off by Bruno's vocals.

"Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby's dancing, but she's dancing with another man.."

"Damn, I didn't realize how Bruno either sings sexual or depressing songs. There's no in between for this man." Celeste said as she looked for another.

Luca couldn't hold in his laughter so he laughed to his heart's content. Celeste was so shocked at the fact that he could laugh, her eyes were wide open. His laugh sounded so masculine and so beautiful. She wondered why he didn't laugh often.

"What are you laughing at?" Celeste frowned.

"You keep changing the songs because you're getting so uncomfortable with the lyrics." He said in between his laughter. "You're such a..." He left his sentence unfinished and just shook his head and kept smiling.

She finally settled for Paper Crown by Alec Benjamin. The song completely changed the atmosphere because it really conveyed Celeste's feelings without her having to say anything.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"... She's looking out from the war that's inside. She's screaming out cause no one survived. But when you're all alone, you wait and you hide..."

The song made Celeste zone out to the point where she couldn't hear Luca calling her. "Celeste..."

"... Cause it's the story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea. Knowing there's no one who will be a king that will come and save his queen..."

"Celeste..." This time Luca tapped her shoulder. When Celeste turned around to face him, he saw a tear drop fall right onto his hand. Taking in the situation, Celeste quickly wiped her eyes, "Sorry, I don't know what happened to me. This song never made me this emotional before."

Luca didn't know what to say so he just nodded and said, "We're here."
