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
JUNO'S point of viewI rolled my eyes hearing my boyfriend's brave remark."Really? Or you're gonna scream like a barbie girl-""Hey!" He protested, glaring at me. "That's not what I did to Eugene. I beat him into a pulp when he dared to rise his tongue against you right in front of my face!" He even straightened his back and flexed his muscles to show how strong and courageous he was. I bit my bottom lip to stifle the laughter emerging in my throat."Of course you are, my dear. Now let's go and show that guy how strong my boyfriend is," I grinned at him teasingly as I clung my arm around his, pulling him out of the room."Seriously! I'm not kidding, babe! I would willingly get my knuckles bloody for you." He insisted as we marched down the stairs."Of course! And I'd... willingly sit down and watch those horrible movies for you."His eyes narrowed at my response. I laughed loudly as my hand slid down on his fingers, gripping them tightly w
JUNO'S point of viewI awkwardly laughed to ease the growing tension in the table after Jupiter's remark. Mike laughed as well, as if he's accepting an unspoken challenge that is being served to him.The dinner was goddamn awful. I couldn't even taste the food in my mouth because I was tensed having an asshole sit beside me. Jupiter had hid arm wrapped around my shoulder the whole time, never minding the challenge he's facing while eating a crab in one hand. I flopped down on the bed and groaned, absolutely relieved that the small feast was over. Jupiter dove down beside me, wrapping his arm around my waist."Let's not ruin our whole night because of that bastard, hmm. Let's put on a good movie-"I grumbled louder, knowing that he'd insist to watch a corny and awful local comedy movie. "Or... wanna take a dip?"My eyes immediately fluttered open. I turned to him excitedly, nodding my head repeatedly. "Oh my God! I'm gonna change into some
JUPITER'S point of viewMy hands went up to her waist as I let the tiny waves sway our entangled bodies together. I was hugging Juno from the back, her head was leaning comfortably against my body. The water barely reaching our chest.I looked up at the sky and sighed in relief. The moon was glowing up above us, which added to the tranquil atmosphere of the beach."What do you want for tomorrow's breakfast?"I heard her snorted at my question. "Why? You'd cook for me? I doubt Matilda would let you mess around the kitchen.""Why not?" I chuckled, kissing her shoulder. "The beach house owner is my girlfriend.""This is not a conjugal property," she rasped. "Yet..." I added which earned a giggle from her. "Fine. I'm getting sick of the junk foods here so cook me some fruit pancake.""Hmm... we'll have to see what's available in the pantry first."She nudged my stomach softly. "Then don't ask me what I like! Just go and cook whatever's in t
