2021-12-03 23:34:24I 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

I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I remembered what happened earlier outside. We were all seated on the long dining table for dinner but my mind was flying back to Juno’s IG post. That was so adorable! The way she looked flush and embarrassed when I found out her little secret makes my chest swell in a very unexplainable way. What is happening to me?!“I heard these are your favorite, Juno. I especially requested these dishes to a close friend who happened to be a pro in cooking. What do you think? Did you like the way they are cooked?” My father beamed happily at my fake girlfriend who looked so flustered at the warm welcome she received from my family.Juno smiled sheepishly at my dad as she nodded her head. “Thank you! That was so nice of you, Sir. And yes, I loved the food. I was so confused earlier when Jupiter sent me a text asking for a list of my favorite foods.”“Huh?” My father glance

“More kisses to come your way. Good night.” A deep frown appeared on my face after reading Jupiter’s text message right before I fell asleep that night. I scoffed as I zoomed in on the photo he just sent me. “The audacity of some gay these days…”Me:Thank you for ruining my night. Send me all the copies of these photos now so I can pick which ones to be published.Jupiter wasn’t lying when he said I looked like I’m enjoying the kiss. Because what the fuck is this shot? I was sure I would end up with wide eyes and bewildered face in the photographs since I was utterly shock when it happened. Seems like Monica knows how to get the right angles well. It looks like a behind the scene photo from a romantic movie film.My mouth pursed as I tried to stifle the smile threatening to appear on my lips. And before I knew, I already set the photo as my background wallpaper. It’s just

(Still on the female lead’s point of view)How does he felt about me? Remembering how he treated me with enthusiasm the very first time we met and compared to now, I don’t think there’s any difference. He was so nice to pay for my food, and very kind to cover me from the sun and walked me here to the grocery. Or he’s always known me?I mentally face-palmed when I remembered the little chaos on my social media last night. Maybe that’s how he found out. The news reached him quickly and he’s probably following Jupiter. And probably, too, have already followed me now without me knowing.I couldn’t help the small doubts about him that’s clouding in my head because it felt like his last words to me sounded pretty off. Especially his tone. Is he genuinely being nice? Or now that he found out, he’s being forced to act that way to not start a fight?I sighed and looked at the c

“You look so creepy, Sir. No kidding.”“Fuck off, dumb bitch.” I sent a quick glare at Monica’s direction as I fixated my eyes back to my computer where I’m responding to so many pending emails from the past days.I called her up here to write the article that we are to release at the media later this afternoon. We’ll send it anonymously to an online news outlet and I want to check it word by word so it’s better if she’s near me so it’ll be easier to monitor.“No, for real! You’re supposed to be stressed with your piled up paper works. However, your smile and the energy radiating out of you right now is so light and different. I wonder if this has something to do with Miss Sol-”“I said fuck off and finish the task I assigned to you.”I heard her chuckle. “You enjoyed that kiss, didn’t you?”My eyes snapped back at her an

“Come here. Let’s greet the Fortalezas.”Jupiter intertwined our fingers together as we headed to the biggest table near the podium. Everyone seemed to make their way towards the same direction, probably with the same agenda as ours - to greet the party hosts.I’ve been feeling anxious since we arrived because I didn’t expect the party would be this huge. And the amount of cameras we had to go through? Oh, lord… I hope none of those shots turn our horrible. Especially with Jupiter around me, I feel like I’d end up looking like his assistant!I felt him squeezed my hand to get my attention. I looked up at him and realized we’re nearing the table where the family host are seated. He gave me a worried look but I shook my head, chuckling, while pinching his palm. He glared at me and hissed silently.“It’s not your birthday, hoe! You can’t fool me! Your birthday has been over two

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.
