That night, Silvio has informed Lorenzo that he and Hye-Jin would return the next morning since something came up. Once he finished his phone call, he headed down to the kitchen, but when he got there, he stopped and lent on the side of the wall as he watched her sweep the kitchen floor while humming. As soon as she turned around, she jumped with a squeed, surprised by his presence.
"Holy sh.., you almost scared the shit out of me," she said. He put his hands up in defence for a second while chuckled walking towards her.
"Sorry, I was just gonna tell you Silvio and Hye-Jin aren't coming back till tomorrow," he said.
"I hope everything's good," She said while she continued to sweep.
"They're probably fine," he said. She nodded and sweep the broken glass into the dustpan. He stared at her confused as to why she was cleaning. She looked up at him equally confused, but instead as to why he was staring at her.
"What?" She asked.
"Why are you sweeping the kitchen. It's already clean. I have maids who clean it daily," he said.
"I know, but I was throwing something away and it fell on the floor," she said.
"I could've gotten someone to clean it up," he said.
"I'm right here. I can clean up my own mess," she said with a smile. He nodded before the two stood in silence for a second with nothing but her light giggles dialling down.
"You know you've cause me a lot of hassle these days," he told her as he walked closer to her.
"What do you mean?" She asked as she smile with the broom in her hand.

"Chasing you into town, helping your friends, them living here. I barely got to do my work because I gotta focus on you," he said.
"Last time I checked, you're keeping me here against my will," she said.
"Oh, am I?" He asked as he got close to her.
"Yeah. Also, you're the reason my friends don't have a choice but to live here. Maybe if you weren't so nosy, that wouldn't have happened," she said.
"I was worrying about your safety," he said as he took the broom away and put it to the side.
"I don't need you to take care of me. I can take care of myself," she said as she crossed her arms.
"You do, you just don't know it," he said. She paused for a moment, contemplating on whether or not to ask about Martina, but decided it wasn't the right time.
"What?" He asked as he looked at her.
"Nothing," she responded.
"Ask me," He told her. She took a deep breath before asking the forbidden question.
"Does it have to do with Martina?" She asked. Lorenzo stared at her perplexed.
"How do you know about Martina?" He asked.
"That's not the point," she said.
"It was Luca, wasn't it?" He asked.
"Urgh, This is why I didn't want to ask," she said before turning to leave, but he stopped her mid way.
"Yes, it is because of her," he said. She slowly turned around and faced him.
"Why?" She asked.
"I'm sure you know," he said.
"You're dad doesn't know me, and I'm not going to betray you," she said.
"I know, but I have to be careful... I can't lose the person I love again," he said as he placed her hand at the side of her face.
"You...You love me?" she asked.
"Yes, I do," he said.
"Don't fuck with me Lorenzo," she said.
"I'm not, I promise," he said.
"I don't believe you," she said. He slowly placed he hand on her lower back and pulled her closer while he kept his other hand on her cheek. He lent down while she lifted up her face until the twos lips connected. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed forwards, deepening their kiss. It was as if the two were playing a game of tug of war, while passion and desire increased as they continued. He lifted her up by her waist and placed her on top of the kitchen counter.

*What they are doing
Their moans were intensified the more they continued. Irene and Luca walked in, and immediately, he covered her eyes. The two were so focused on one another that they didn't notice Luca and Irene's presences until Irene spoke.
"Eww, Gross," She said. Celeste and Lorenzo stopped, surprised, but still kept their hands on each other.
"Let's go Irene. I don't want you to be traumatized," Luca said before he guided her out of the kitchen. Lorenzo and Celeste looked back at each other and smiled.
"Still don't believe me?" he asked her. She laughed and dropped her head while smiling before lifting it back up and she placed a quick peck on his lips. She hoped off the counter with a smile and made her way out the kitchen.
"You leaving me like that?" He asked.
"I gotta go check on my friend. Plus the moments been ruined, but we'll continue some other time. Don't miss me too much," she said.
"How can I not," he said. She jogged up and kissed him again, yet held the kiss longer this time.
"I love you too," she said as she smiled and left the kitchen up to find Trinity. Lorenzo stared out in her direction with a smile. The doorbell rang and he was pulled out from his trance. He went and opened the door, but once he did he wished he didn't.
