Meet Celest Lia, a regular-degular teen with a heart full of hope and promise. She portrays a peaceful character, free from drama and stress, until the day she cross paths with her wildest dream.
Then there's Kevaun Wright, the exotic Don from Spani...
That's how Celest felt. Leo is dead, and there's nothing she can do to change that. No matter how hard she tried to not think about the situation, in everything she does, she's reminded of him. That specific moment.
The blood that stained the man's white shirt. His face when he cried out in pain. She couldn't get it out of her head. At all.
Staring at the blue wall her room is painted in, she thinks- only one thing can prevent her from constantly remembering what happened. She needed a distraction so Celest did something she haven't done in a long while.
Paint.
It has always been her escape.
...and she knew exactly where to go.
Celest takes up her phone off the bed and turns it on. Realizing that's it at 10 percent, she hurries to send a message to her best friend, Lila.
meet at Garvey?
Ever since she was young, her mother would always take her to Garvey, her uncle's house. There was a big house at the back that no one lived in so she'd always go in there to either paint, sing, or sometimes make dances with Lila and some other kids in the community.
Thinking about those good times, she wishes everything was still the same. Lila replies- yes! No long after, another message comes in- is everything ok? mi know sumo muss wrong mek yuh want guh up a Garvey.
Celest sighs.
just meet me there.
She presses send. Celest jumps when she hears a knock on her room door. "Baby," She smiles when she hears his voice. She tells him to come and Kevaun walks in with a plate, a orange juice and a chocolate.
"You di-" Before she could finish, he kisses her multiple times on her lips... and just like that, she's calm. She loves that even when she's sad or angry, Kevaun is there to make her happy.
"Eat the food mama," He says and she begins to eat the curry chicken, rice and peas with pasta that he cooked. After a while of comfortable silence, Celest speaks-
"W-where did y-you hide the, um..." She couldn't get the words out. She hated how afraid she was but anyone would've been scared to know that are responsible for someone's death.
"Don't worry about that. I took care of it," He simply said.
"Bu-"
"Celest, everything is gonna be ok. Mi deh yah, nobody cyaa even get too close to yuh b and mi nuh fuck dem up. I will always be here to protect you. I love you,"-
Those words.
Celest knows she love him, she didn't even had to think about it. A bright smile forms on her face as she looks at her handsome man. "I love you too," Then the couple kissed.
A long passionate kiss.
"Why yah cry b?" Kevaun asks when he sees the tears coming from her eyes. "Mi seh yuh good,"
"Say it again," She says. For a 18 year old, she has been through so much. It's not everyday someone tells her those words.
"Mi love yuh pretty, to mi heart," They both smile after they shares another passionate kiss.
* After hours and hours of painting, Celest finally decides to stop. Her mind was clear and all the fear she was feeling, disappeared. She looks over to Lila and she sighs when she see's her staring at her.
Celest never wants to talk about the situation ever again but she knows how determine her best friend is so at some point, she had to tell her what was going on.
"I'm okay," She says but as expected, Lila didn't believe.
"No, you are not. Come talk to mi Celest," Lila says, walking over to her. "Another day, not right now. Please," Lila nods, resting the situation. She kisses her cheek then moves back to where she was.

Stepping back to look at the art that she created, she absolutely loved it. This was one of her best paintings and she adored it.
dis is noiiiceee
"Yuh fi gah art school eno girl. This nice yuh fret," Lila cheers and she laughs. Celest has thought about going to art school a few times but she didn't love it enough...
"Thanks,"
Lila then walks out of the room when she see's Kevaun. "Paint something else," He says from behind her.
"I have nothing in mind," She says, without facing him. She hears his footsteps coming close to her by the seconds pass. Kevaun stops directly behind her. He wraps his arms around her waist and buries his face in her neck.
He exhales then places a soft kiss on her skin. "Think about something you love... someone," He says. Celest closes her eyes, doing as he said.
Celest loves a lot of things but only one thing she could think about at that moment.
