She felt like someone was penetrating her down there. With hot tongue and fingers. She opened her eyes and looked down at Laurence who smiled at her. She bit her lip and he continued doing it until she had her orgasm. Laurence crawled up to her to kiss her lips but she covered his mouth and nose.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

​​

"I don't care." He kissed her palm. "Where do you want to go?"

She thought for a while. He moved on her side as he pulled her into his arms.

"I don't know. Are places near here that I haven't gone to?"

"There are a lot of places." Laurence stroked his hand at her flawless back. "Let me think."

Esme looked up at him and admired his handsomeness while he's thinking. However, something just interrupted them. A ringing phone. She sat up and reached for her phone. Laurence's mother is calling. She looked at Laurence and she pulled the duvet and covered it to her body. Then, she tapped the phone to answer the call.

"Hi, mom!"

"Hey, sweetheart. How's the freshmen party?"

"It's good. I dance with my friends."

"No one hooks up on you right?"

"Well~~I~~I don't think that it's a hook-up." She chuckled and looked at Laurence. He only stays still on the other side. He might be thinking of ending the relationship that they have. They just started.

"Tell me," Her mother seemed excited.

Esme said everything that happened last night about the guy named Winston. Since her mom wanted her to tell on what he looks like and so on and so forth, she did tell her what happened between them and Laurence. She just feels more guilty than she ever has.

"Good. Where's Laurence? Have you eaten breakfast?" Ashaya asked.

"I think he's in his room. I just woke up. But I promise that we will eat our dinner." She said with a smile even though her smile couldn't be seen by Laurence's mother. She wanted to identify her as not her mother because she loves Laurence. Her mom hung up and she turned to Laurence.

Laurence is staring at the ceiling and he looks worried. She just looked at him guessing what he's thinking. She just wished that he wouldn't cut their relationship as lovers. But part of her felt so guilty. She bit her lip trying to hold tears that shouldn't come out. She didn't know what he's thinking but she's already jumping to a conclusion that they might not see each other once that his parents know about it.

"Laurence?" She called.

"Hmm?"

"Are we going to stop this?"

He turned to her and reached her hand.

"No." He shook his head. "I love you."

"What if mom and dad know about this? Dad will be furious."

"I know. We have to keep it secret until you graduate. Then, after you graduate, let's get married."

She exhaled.

"Maybe I'm not the right one for you."

"No." Laurence sat up immediately and moved closer to her. "Don't say that."

"I'm just eighteen."

"I know." He pulled her into his arms. "I know, Esme. I just couldn't hold it anymore. I love you, so much."

"I love you too." She hugged him and as a baby, she started sobbing and crying on his chest.

Laurence feels bad for her. He's going to take her innocence and the beautiful life ahead of her. His parents are supporting her to reach her dreams and he didn't want to ruin it because of his arousal towards her. He didn't want to ruin her life. He's now doubting. But is it what Esme wanted? To be with him and to not ever experience a second date with someone else or a third date or others? She'll be stuck with him if he continues this.

"Don't leave me, okay?" She begged. The more she begged, the more he's eager to be with her and to seal it with her.

"I won't ever leave you." He promised. Now that he promised, it'll be hard for him to give her up. "But we have to keep this. Because if we won't, dad would break us apart. I know that he'll do it for our own good. You need to graduate and reach your dreams."

"Then, how about we go to a doctor to ask for implants or whatever for me not to get pregnant?"

He smiled and patted her. She looked up at him and he wiped her tears.

"I'll settle that. But since we have trackers, we need to leave it here."

She nodded at him.

"Including phones. I'll buy a new pair for us." He kissed her forehead. "Don't cry."

She nodded and wiped her snots.

"I'll get us some hot chocolates." She unwrapped herself from him. She went to the bathroom. He exhaled and reached for his PJs and put it on. He left her room and went to his room. He washed his face, brushed his teeth, and took her phone to check on the emails.

He sat on his bed and thought about what to do. He had a house in the Philippines. The one near the beach. What he needed is to earn more money to probably run away with her. Although he's a billionaire, her father could still control her bank account. So, all he needed to do is transfer money to the new bank account which his dad couldn't get access to.

He searched for a secured bank that their family never had put money to. He took his laptop and searched for it. He didn't want to use his hacking skills because Aria and Asher might trace it.

"Rence," Esme knocked on the door and opened it. "What do you want for breakfast?" She gave the hot chocolate mug to him and he took it.

"Dress up, baby. We are going to eat at the café nearby."

"Okay." She approached him and kissed him. He kissed her back. She quickly left. He sipped on the hot chocolate and went to his walk-in closet. He picked something normal to wear. He took his wallet and checked his cash. He needed to withdraw money too.

He needed to purchase a house somewhere and fix things up. He didn't know what he's thinking at the moment but he wanted to get everything ready just in case his father would disown him for doing it with his sister. But he loves her and they are not blood-related. They would choose Esme since she's still young. And he would do the same.

"I'm ready!" Esme entered his room and she went directly to his walk-in closet.

"You are fast."

"Because I'm hungry." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorting things out." He said.

"Sorting?" She creased her brows.

"We can't run away because you have school." He unwrapped her arms from his waist and turned to her. "So, do not tell anyone about our relationship."

She nodded like the obedient girl she is.

"What do you want to eat today?" He asked as he put his wallet in his inner jacket pocket.

"What are you sorting things?" She asked as they left the penthouse.

"I'll talk to it with you later."

They went to the café to have their breakfast and they walked into the city. Then, he bought the latest iPhone for the two of them and accessories for it. He also put it in a plan. He pays for all of it. They got home, took a bath together, and stayed in her room while he's installing and updating a few things on their phone. They have the same app and the same everything. Like couples would have.

"It's cute." She said and admired the phone case.

"I rented a car and we are off to Cape May, NJ."

"Where is that?"

"It's three hours from here." He smiled. "Pack a few of your clothes and a bikini we are going there."

Laurence settled on a few clothes for two nights and two days getaway. She left her phone in the bedroom and Laurence did the same. He had to freeze the cameras in a few minutes until they could leave the Penthouse building. He used the rented SUV as he drove off from the City.

He reached her hand and kissed it. Esme leaned on her seat and turned to him instead to watch him than to watch the scenery outside.

"Will it hurt?" She asked.

"What?"

"You know~~"

"Yeah, it will hurt a little. You are too tight, my love. I have to massage it further."

She giggled and kissed his hand.

"Why won't you sleep? It'll be a long drive and when we get there we have to start."

She turned on the music and she took the fleece blanket from the backseat and covered it to her body. Then, she reclined the chair and stared at him. He smiled and patted her head.

"Rence?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you mean it when you said that you want to marry me?"

Laurence looked at her.

"Yes,"

She reached his hand and intertwined it with her.

"I'll do that in the future. But for now, you need to graduate and reach her dreams and I'll be there always, for you." He brings her hand to his lips.
