“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
(Remains on the male lead’s point of view)One of the biggest fish in the market has been sold!Jupiter Acosta, the heir to the the biggest and most successful construction firm in the country, has been seen hanging out with a mystery girl around the city lately. A reliable source from the elite circle disclosed the handsome bachelor’s relationship status - and confirmed! He is indeed seeing and have been dating the girl for a while now. And to support that confirmation, Jupiter went to his social media account last night to repost a five year old picture of him from his girl’s account with a romantic caption - “Love you to the moon and to… Jupiter”.It became a hot topic on the internet quickly. Other speculated that they could be dating privately for years now. While some netizen think they were probably college sweethearts whose paths collided again after so many years to continue a postponed romance.
“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
Juno hissed at me after I nudged her arm when I noticed the stares she’s been giving to Andrew. The whole night we’re here, she’s been glancing every now and then to his table, and I can see that he’s gladly returning her gaze.“What?” She shot me a glare while touching her arm dramatically.“Are you mine or Andrew’s date? If you want, just bring your plate to his table and eat there with him.” I sneered and she nudged me back in irritation.“How long are we staying here? I’m already full.”I snorted and looked back at the on-going auction. “Don’t try to change the subject, hoe. Ouch!” I nearly jumped off my seat when she pinched the side of my stomach. I glared at her and she did the same.“It hasn’t been an hour, Juno. Keep your ass on your seat.”"But it’s boring! You’re not even joining the auction!”
