2021-11-03 17:46:15Heaving out a deep sigh, I pushed the flush button before deciding to walk out of the cubicle. Though, before I could even push the door open, two gossip girls walked inside the comfort room. And based on what I was hearing, they’re talking about Jupiter.
I kept quite, took a tiny step back and decided to eavesdrop discreetly on them.
“The girl don’t look familiar to me at all. Do you think that’s his girl friend? There was never a relationship rumor about him. Ever!”
“Maybe? I mean… aside from his twin, he’s also never seen a with any girl in public. I’m even suspecting he’s gay!”
I bit my lower lip to hold back myself from laughing. If only they have any idea…
“Well now, he’s off the market.”
I heard the other girl let out a defensive gasp.
“We’re not even sure if that’s really her girl friend! And fine, she&rs

My sister gaped at me with her eyes wide open as I finished explaining to her what Juno’s role would be to my current dilemma. She nearly threw the flower vase perching on top of our dining table to my face when I told her that Juno was clueless when she signed the contract.“You manipulative son of a bitch!” She half-screamed, throwing the table napkin on my face. I chuckled on my seat as I dodged the new batch of napkins coming my way.“Hey! Careful with your words, Venus. You’re deliberately calling our a mother a bitch.” I laughingly screamed back at her which thankfully halted her physical aggressiveness. She shot me a glare.“Don’t bring Gaia in this conversation!”I doubled over in laughter. “You’re lucky, Dad isn’t here.”Venus sighed, trying to collect herself together. “Aren’t you worried you might scare her away again?

“Thanks a lot, Maggie. I enjoyed eating dinner with you.” I picked up my cat as I headed out of my new found friend’s apartment room.Pickle and I stayed for almost an hour in her apartment for a fun introductory chit-chat. I found out that we’re nearly the same age, and she’s currently a working-student as she wasn’t able to finish her degree earlier because of heavy financial problem. I salute anyone who decides to push through their dreams, never letting their age or the time hindrance it. Because I know a few who fell out of interest as they felt like they’re out of time to pursue it anymore.“I’ll try to cook this weekend to make it up to you. What are your favorite dishes, by the way?” I asked and Maggie laughed, shaking her head sheepishly.“Don’t sweat it, Juno. I’d feel so bad that you’re going to effort to cook when I only served you a burger from fast-foo

I was half-running just to get back quickly in the company building as I don’t want to anger her more. I acted all cocky yesterday with my conversation with Venus because there’s a contract involved. But here I am now, acting like a goddamn puppy who just got scolded by his master.“Fuck!” I cursed angrily after seeing that the private lift isn’t available ASAP for me as it is currently on the sixth floor, heading to the twenty-fifth. Since I don’t have a choice, I took the stairs and run up to the first floor to use the common elevator.Employees were scattered and crowding the hallway, waiting for their turn to use the lift.“Good morning, Sir!” They greeted and I smiled to acknowledge them. I then glanced at the elevator panels and saw that one of the lifts are almost on their way down.“Good morning. Is it okay for me to cut in the line? I’m really in a hurry right now.”

“Hey, that’s enough! I already apologized and explain my side, okay? I’m not the bad guy here. Our boss is,” Miss Monica giggled while leaning in comfortably on the chair across me as I continued glaring at her.We headed back upstairs and she decided to accompany me inside the office while waiting for Jupiter. And also, to explain her side.“Your boss, you mean? He’s not mine’s.” I retorted back, still irritated.“Uh, yes? Our boss,” she crossed her arms, emphasizing the words to me. “Until there’s a contract involved, he is rightfully above us.”“You wish. Just shut up.” I rolled my eyes, leaning back to my seat as I turn away from her to face the door, waiting for it to burst open, anticipating the demon’s arrival.“Gee, no need to be rude.”“Gee, no need to lie to me.” I mimicked her voice and she let out

My mind was flying back to the office next door while I was facing my desktop, forcing myself to focus on the documents that needed my attention that morning. It’s nearly half an hour but I haven’t heard back from the two. Is Venus having a hard time persuading that woman?I nervously chewed on my lower lip. Juno is my only hope at the moment. I couldn’t think of any effective solution anymore. If only Monica agreed to play along with me, it’ll be easier and more believable. Why not, though? Everyone knew that she’s my sister’s best friend. So automatically, everyone would think I’m also close to her…I sighed and grumbled in frustration.The ringing telephone pulled me back from my deep thoughts. I cleared my throat before picking up the call.“Good morning. Who is this?”There was a heavy sigh on the line… and then, it was followed by a short laughter. An offensive

I heaved out a deep sigh after reading the short article about Jupiter. And I admit, it was concerning and it bothered me. Can’t people just stick their noses in their business? What does this person want from him? This is an obvious threat to his peaceful life.And why can’t Jupiter be extra careful about this? I have so much problems in my plate already and now I have to consider being part of his too.“Please, Juno. Help my brother. You are his only hope right now.” Venus Acosta held my hand pleadingly. Her eyes looked so hopeful and nearly begging.“What he did was wrong, and you know it was out of desperation. Please, I’ll make sure the contract will be in favor of you. We can revise everything and add your own terms. You know Jupiter is pretty desperate right now and I’m sure he’ll indulge you in anything just to hear a ‘yes’ from you. Please…”A long exasperated

“Job well done, sister!”Venus and I exchanged a high-five before attacking one another with a massive hug. She’s done so much for me today! I’m so thankful and grateful for her help that I could actually buy her a whole shopping mall if she asks me to.“Gee, stop! You sound a lot like James Charles!” She teases and I pull away from our embrace to glare at her.“Ew! Are you watching his contents?”“Ew, no! I don’t even follow him but his face is all over my feed because of my mutuals. He’s so problematic.”“I agree. So let’s not talk about that fag-” Venus slapped my mouth before I could even finish my sentence. The woman glared back at me.“I’m aware you got a pass to say that slur but let’s not normalize you saying that, please…”“Why not?” I chuckled, playfully rolling my eyes at her as

I tried holding back my laughter as Lady Gaga’s music blasted on the car as we drive along the road. But no matter how hard I tried to suppress it, I still ended up cackling on my seat. I felt Jupiter’s eyes on me as his driving slowed down.“What’s so funny?” He asked, clearly confused. “Have you gone mad, Juno? You’re laughing out of nowhere…” he jokingly scooted away from me.My laugh grew louder. “Same Jupiter I know, blasting pop music on his car. I bet anyone who has shared a ride with you was weirded out by your music taste.”His brow furrowed, clearly irritated. “What’s wrong with my music choices? This is my car and I can play whatever the hell I want.”“Sure. No straight male would willingly blast bubble gum pop songs on their car, let alone sing along to it.”I heard him snorted in sarcasm. “Well good thing nobody has ente

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.
