JUNO'S point of viewWe got back inside our room and decided to take turns on the bathroom for a shower. It's still pretty early and I don't think I'd fell asleep for the next three hours.While Jupiter was in the bathroom, I decided to rummage in the drawers and check if the small television mounted in front of the bed is working. Thankfully, we're lucky 'cause it is working just fine. I also found some CDs inside the drawers and I silently squealed in excitement when I realized they were horror films!I love watching horror films but only if I have a company. I'll put this in the DVD player later once I'm done taking a bath."What are you so excited for?" Jupiter stepped out of the bathroom with only his boxers on. He was drying his soaked hair using a white towel while raising a brow at me.I smiled and showed him the CD films I have found. "Let's watch later! I'm just gonna take a shower.""Hmm..." he walked towards me and crouched dow
JUNO'S point of viewI was woken up from my deep slumber when I felt multiple warm kisses all over my face. I groaned lazily as my eyes fluttered open, seeing Jupiter grinning down at me.I looked around the room and realized that the sun's already up. And based on the sunlight piercing through the curtain covered window above us, it's probably nine or ten in the morning."Get up, sleepyhead. I'm so hungry!" Jupiter whined before attacking me with his wet kisses once again, going for my neck this time.I giggled loudly and tried to push him away. His growing stubbles were tickling my skin. "We should get you a razor, babe! And maybe, look around the place for any barber shop. Your hair's growing a lot.""Hmm... you don't like my long hair? I think I'm slaying in this style."I laughed as I pull my head out of the pillow. "Not really. You aged a lot with all these hairs.""Aww, damn! You're right, let's look around for hair salons. I better
JUNO'S point of viewJupiter decided he'll have a haircut outside while I spend the noon napping inside our room. He asked if I would like to accompany him but I immediately uttered a big NO when we passed by the only barber shop in the beach this afternoon, when we were buying toiletries and junk foods for our movie nights."Don't fall in love with the lifeguards outside while I'm not beside you, okay?" I joked and he rolled his eyes at me before slamming the door close. I jumped back to the bed, the television was on and playing a corny romantic local movie. My hand searched for the remote to turn it off as I'm starting to feel bored and sleepy because of the afternoon sunlight.My eyelids were getting heavy and I was at verge of losing my consciousness when I heard my phone rang loudly from the bedside table. I groaned, scratching my head before sitting up the bed to check on the caller.Monica."Yes, hello? We're setting up the laptop before yo
JUPITER'S point of view"Ready to leave?" Juno teases me with her wiggling brows after packing my laptop and charger on a random tote bag she found in the closet. I frowned at her as I threw myself back on the soft mattress of the bed. I never want to leave! I just want to stay here with her all week! Or maybe, forever...Juno sauntered to me and held my arm, pulling me laughingly off of the bed. "Get up, come on! You need to leave early so you'd be able to come back early as well. I don't want you to drive after the sun.""I don't want to!""But you have to!""What if horrible circumstances come my way and forbids me from coming back here?" I asked worriedly in which she just responded with a laugh."Then I'm packing up to follow you home.""That's even worse! We can't even finish a whole week vacation. There's always gotta be a disturbance!"Juno sighed before sitting at the edge of the bed. I sat up beside her and threw my arms
JUNO'S point of viewAn hour after Jupiter left, I sat there on the bed, bored to death and contemplating whether I should put on a movie to entertain myself. I groaned when I realized they're all horror movies and I couldn't watch them all by myself. Sighing, I reached for my phone and texted Jupiter instead.Juno:Let me know once you've arrive safely. Miss you already!It's nearly lunch and my stomach's beginning to grumble in hunger. I rose from the bed and slipped in my comfy sandals to grab some food outside. On my way out, the door across me burst open and a tall man emerged out of the room. Our eyes locked for a second before I looked away and made my way to the stairs. "Hey! Uh... my name's Mike!" He catched up to me and introduced himself. "Did you check in alone? I just got here last night. Loved the ambiance of this place."I smiled politely and extended my hand for a handshake. "Hello, I'm Juno. Nice meeting you, Mi
JUNO'S point of view"Juno, dear!" Matilda sighed in relief upon seeing me stepped inside the house. The old woman was seated on the little counter and I smiled curiously at her reaction, striding my way to her."Matilda, hello! How is it going?""Oh. Gerard and I were looking for you and Jupiter to join us for lunch. I cooked the crab recipe your boyfriend had requested but nobody was answering when I knocked at your door earlier. Gerard tried to look around the beach but he couldn't find you two as well. Are you done eating?""Oh! Yes, I'm done eating. Unfortunately, Jupiter is out right now but he should be back this evening. I'll let him know to come home before dinner so we can join you and Gerard for the crab feast."Matilda laughed with mirth. "I see, dear. He's in the city?"I leaned in closer to the counter, getting comfortable with our conversation. "Yes. Needed to take care of some stuff at work.""I see. I cooked a lot so it'll be en
JUNO'S point of viewI woke up, gasping for air and totally scared from the near death experience I had from that dream. I sat on the bed and exhaled repeatedly to calm down myself. Now I'm ever more determined to stay away from that man! Call me judgement or whatever but he's really giving me the creeps!I jumped on my seat when a knock resounded from the door. A horrified expression crept up my face upon remembering the fresh nightmare I had a few minutes ago."Who's there?!" I yelled cautiously before peeking out the window. Just like in my dream, the sun is setting down outside painting the beach in a bright shade of orange."This is the biggest planet in the solar system."I let out the biggest sigh of relief hearing my boyfriend's corny response. I got off the bed and made my way towards the door to welcome him. Jupiter quickly wrapped me in his arms, showering kisses all over my face while I giggle nonstop in his embrace. "I brought us
JUNO'S point of viewOur plan to take a nap before dinner wasn't successful since Jupiter and I got caught up with our little catching up as if we were apart for a whole month.We just lay there on the bed for two hours, talking and hugging each other to satisfy our emotions."Did you see Venus? How is she?" "Yeah since I dropped by in the house to pull a larger bag. She's mostly in her room as what Jacob told me. He said she's barely crying now and just sleeping out the sadness.""Hmm... I couldn't say that's a nice progress. Crying and showing your emotion is better than locking them all up inside you. Please tell Jacob that he should keep a closer eye on your sister."He nodded, his head resting on top of my chest. "What about you, my love? Do you want to cry as well?"He chuckled silently before shaking his head. "I think I've already cried enough the first day. Thanks for being my human handkerchief.""Anything for my darling," I
SIRIUS"You know you can fool anyone here but not me, Sirius." Johnny blurt out of nowhere. We were in my room and he's helping me to pack up my luggage since tomorrow is my flight to Munich with Astra. My forehead creased at his vague accusation. "What do you mean?" He chuckled maliciously before zipping up my travel bag. "You like Astra."I froze for a moment before arching a brow at him. "I do, yes. You won't catch me hanging out with someone I don't like. Duh?""Hmm... I meant romantically, idiot! You like her more than you're supposed to like her!"I shook my head and headed towards the door, trying to escape his bullshit. "You're imagining things in your head now, huh? Can't a closeted gay man be friends with a dumb annoying woman anymore?""Oh, please!" He tailed behind me, laughing manically. "We both know— oh, wait! Maybe you don't! Oh, poor thing! Maybe you have yet to confront your own feelings. You're in the confused and in-denial stage just yet!""You sound ridiculous.
ASTRAI was about to call our family driver when I saw a familiar red car zooming in to the parking. I immediately recognized it was Sirius' vehicle and I rolled my eyes when he stopped in front of me. The window rolled down and I looked at him sharply before opening the door to the passenger seat and sliding in.I threw my bag to the back seat and glared at him."Where were you? You went out to grab a barbecue?""I need to take you home quickly. I have to go somewhere," his voice sounded urgent and my forehead crumpled in curiosity."What? What is it? What happened?" I said in panicked. Is there a major emergency? Life and death situation?"Reclaiming my image back because Harrison just delivered the best news ever today."My eyes widened and a joyful squeal came out of my throat. "Oh my! I want to be there!""No, Astra. I'll take you home. We're heading to the police station today. I'll just tell you about it when I get home." "But-""No buts! Let's go!" And the car zoomed fast out
ASTRAThe conference room was empty when we arrived in the floor. We went inside and sat in silence before Michelle stood up to finally say her farewell."Do you need anything? Perhaps I can bring you something to drink while waiting for the old hags to arrive?" I stifled my laughter before nodding my head. "Indeed. I'd love some soda right now."She smiled at me before finally leaving me alone in silence inside the meeting room. I looked around the place and sighed reminiscing the times where I used to sit here before to discuss the positivity of my career with the executives. The huge glass-made walls of this room and the neighboring buildings surrounding us were a witness to that. Now, it is time to say goodbye to everything. I sighed deeply and shifted anxiously on my seat when I heard the door creaked open. A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I saw Matt walked in, and behind him was Michelle carrying two cans of orange soda. Matteo glared at me before taking the seat beside m
ASTRAAfter all the long hardwork these past years, and the previous predicament I've entangled myself with, I've decided that a cute long month break is more than what I deserve.I sighed deeply while sitting anxiously beside Sirius in his car. He insisted to drive me to my destination today; and the said destination is my entertainment company. This is actually a surprise visit. I never told anyone, not even Matteo, that I'm coming today. I would like to discuss my final decision about my contract renewal.And I hope they understand my decision, the fans as well..."Hey! Stop sulking," Sirius said as he started the car engine. I sighed for the second time before turning to him."What do you think I should do after this? How do you think the fans will react once the management put out an official announcement?"He shrugged. "Go out and have fun. For the latter question, of course, the real ones that stick with you during your darkest moment would be sad and disappointed. And it's nor
SIRIUS"Goodness! Wake up!" I groaned sleepily before forcefully opening my eyes to find Astra glaring hard at me."Get up and move to your own sleeping space which is the floor. I already made your bed, your majesty. Now move away 'cause I would like to rest," she demanded with a hard glare."Huh?" I said absentmindedly as I was too consumed by sleepiness. "What time is it?""It's one! The nurse just left to check on Dad. And you slept throughout the third episode! Remind me to kick your ass in the morning.""Oh, please. Cringey ass show," I mumbled as I groggily get off the sofa and straightly launch myself on the floor where my bed mat and pillows are already waiting for me."You're welcome, dummy.""No probs."It was too late. So of course, it's only reasonable I'd wake up later that morning as well. I felt disoriented and utterly shock to open my eyes to Astra's father already in his conscious form and even glaring down at me!I quickly rose to my feet and hurried to the bathroom
ASTRAIt is what I deserve. Have fun and have a good time. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. "Your boyfriend seems like he need a ten hour sleep," the man said out of nowhere while wrapping up my order. It's been three hours of constant walking and stopping by in every shop we bumped into. And now, I'm hungry. I decided to buy us a burger meal while Sirius sat down on the bench nearby as he's been repeatedly complaining about going back to the hotel. Annoying! I want to stay some more! I chuckled at the man's assumption about my relationship with Sirius. I handed him my payment while I grab the tray of food from him."He's my husband, actually. But you're right, he looked tired as always," I giggled at my own lies before turning my back from the stall and walked towards Sirius. As I expected, he began complaining about his aching feet and the shopping bags. Of course, I'm not that heartless so I let his complains won this time. We can always go back in the following d
SIRIUSAstra snatched the paper bags in my hand as we headed towards the living room of her apartment. Which, by the way, looks like a total mess as if a tornado just passed through the place. My eyes watched her took a sit on the white stained sofa in front of the television playing a cartoon show. So this is what's keeping her busy these past days? Unbelievable woman!"When was the last time you took a bath, dumb ass? It seems like a lightning just struck your hair," I shook my head in disbelief as I took a sit on the much cleaner single couch beside the sofa. "And what is this place? Can you call a fucking room service? You pathetic woman!"I heard her snorted at my ranting. Her eyes were fixated on the television while one of her hand was reaching inside the paper bag. A silent grunt escaped her lips when she found a burger in there."Really? This is what I've been eating for the past days, Sirius. Couldn't you have bring anything else aside from this? A fancy meal from a steakho
SIRIUS I glanced at Astra beside me. We’re at the dive bar and drinking for a bit. But it seems to me that she’s not very good in handling her alcohol. My forehead creased watching her eyes blinking slowly. “Dumb bitch. Go home,” I whispered to her after taking a sip on my canned beer. Why did she even have to tag along with me?! I’m here to find myself a guy right now! She shouldn’t be getting in my way! Now I’m sure everyone here thinks she’s my girlfriend! I snatched the beer in her hand and grabbed her on the arm, getting up on my sit. “Let’s go, I’m walking you back to our villa. Go to rest now.” “That sounded dark,” she joked chuckling, and just letting me drag her without any protest. “You’ll come back here?” She asked as we finally stepped out of the bar. I shook my head as I glanced at the louder pub just two shops away from the bar. There’s a dance club, too. That’ll be my target. “No. I’m going to see the club.” She giggled and clung onto my arm, a gesture she’s alwa
ASTRAI dove straight on the soft mattress of my queen sized bed after taking a long shower. My body feels drain from all the shoutings I did today in the ride park. It was honestly a very fun experience with Sirius, and I hope it isn't the last time we'll hang out.A satisfied and contented sigh escaped my lips. I feel refreshed. For days, all I did was cry and feel anxious about everything. Nobody was there for me so I'm truly grateful having his sassy ass with me right now, even though I'm not sure how long he'll be staying to tolerate my presence.I yawned sleepily when I slowly felt the heaviness creeping up on my eyelids. I turned to face the other side of my bed and switched off the lamp on the bedside table, then I pulled the blanket up to my chin. The loud ringing of my phone woke me up the next morning. I groaned and tried to sleep through the noise but it just won't stop until I'm irritated! With a sigh, I sat upright on my bed and scratched my eyes while blinking rapidly.
