2021-12-27 00:00:20I parked on my usual spot and pounded on the steering wheel when I realized what have I done. I just got in the parking lot of my condominium and my head was clouded the whole time I was driving home.
“My gosh? That was so…” I groaned out loud, irritated to myself. I stomped my feet repeatedly and even accidentally pressed on the car honk while I was lightly punching the steering wheel. I must’ve looked like an absolute drama queen in front of her! I felt so ridiculously embarrassed as I am trying to remember my action and the words I’ve spat out to her.
I don’t think I can face her tomorrow without turning myself into a freaking tomato!
I sat for a few more minutes inside my car before finally deciding to bring myself out. I grabbed the laptop beside me, which I forgot to put in its case ‘cause I was in a hurry to walk out from her. I cringed to myself again as I proceeded to glare on the laptop.
I should’ve just accepted her offer to

An exhausted sigh escaped my lips as I stared lazily at my dull ceiling. It’s six in the morning and I’ve been awake for thirty minutes now but I couldn’t seem to bring myself out of the bed. I’m still fully occupied about our small fight last night. It was the last thought in my head before I fell asleep and also the first when I woke up this morning. Pickled meowed and stretched her limbs beside me. The cat then jumped off the bed, then hopped back in not even five seconds later. “Stupid cat,” I murmured groggily. I yawned and stretched my arms just like her. Good thing I was still able to get a proper sleep last night despite the horror film we’ve watched. And well, to be fair, I wasn’t really paying full attention to it. I forcefully pushed to my feet and started getting ready for work. I was moving so slow and took nearly an hour in the shower so I panicked when I realized I’m running out of time. Shit! I have to be there before Ju

Javier Alonzo's limousine brought us to his home where a small intimate birthday celebration is happening. I was hesitant and shy to dine in with them at first. But when I noticed the warning flashing in the old man's eyes, I swallowed the shyness in my throat and settled on the seat beside his eldest son.They're a family of lawyers and businessmen. And his wife was a beauty queen! I saw her pageant on the television when I was a mere kid. I remembered holding back the shriek wanting to escape from my mouth while silently cheering for her.Sitting in front of me was a girl who seemed to be a high school student based on her uniform. She was looking at me with wide eyes and gaped mouth. I tried to smile at her but it came out very awkward. Her eyes widened even more.She received a nudge from the boy beside her when he notices her gaze towards me. They must've been siblings because of the resemblance on their faces. They could be twins

Sebastian Acosta was too happy about the news that he made a quick arrangement of buffet celebration for the whole company. We were supposed to eat out but he changed his mind and immediately ordered for the function hall to be decorated.I shook my head, smiling, while eyeing Jupiter and his father talk with full enthusiasm with some other important persons in the company. Sir Sebastian even made a short speech earlier, praising Jupiter to the fullest because of this success.Monica was beside me with her pasta and steak while having her full attention on the phone. She seemed to be having a chat fight with somebody because of the way she’s tapping violently on her phone’s screen. My lips protruded as I resumed eating the chocolate cake on my plate.Jupiter then walked towards us after a few minutes of socializing with the others. He sat in between me and Monica who remained sneering at her phone. I cleared my throat awkwardly when he

Juno and Eugene were set to formally meet today. If it wasn’t for my fucked up schedule these past few days, they could’ve meet earlier this noon. However, Juno and I had to spend the whole day in the office to make up for the rest of our absences. I pushed back their meeting this night.I originally want to made a reservation for us three in a restaurant for this meet up. But then, Venus’ suspicions about Eugene made me change my mind. As much as possible, I don’t want to be seen together with him anymore in public.I sighed out in exhaustion after I was done setting the dining area. We left the office at five in the evening so I have no more time left to cook for us. I just made some orders for our dinner and decorated the dining quickly.After I was satisfied with the set up, I went to my room so I can finally shower and change into a much more comfortable pair of clothes. I wore a plain white sweatshirt and a black cargo

To complete my look for tonight, I swiped the red lipstick on my bottom lip and puckered my mouth in front of the mirror. I then twirled to have a have a glimpse of my outfit from the back. Perfect! I smirked in satisfaction.I gabbed my bag and strutted out of my bedroom with Pickle following my every move. Lydia smiled widely at me when I reached the small living room of my apartment. I thankfully smiled back at her for visiting me here in surprise and bringing my leftover stuff in the mansion. I was able to pick some accessories for my clothes because of her.“You look lovely as ever, Juno.” The old woman complimented me and my heart swelled in happiness. I’m grateful to have her as my second parent when Mom and Dad passed away.“Thank you so much, Lydia! I’m really sorry to leave you here on the day of your visit. I promise to be quick!”Lydia shook her head, smiling at me in assurance. “It&rsquo

I yawned tiredly before plopping on the soft mattress of the hotel room Eugene rented in for us. We just arrived and I felt so tired from that two hour drive. And not to mention, I actually haven’t sleep decently.I yawned once again as I snuggled closer on the pillows and throwing the comforter on my body. I’m still on my jeans and it’s surely uncomfortable as fuck but my sleepiness won over my comfort. I heard Eugene groaned at my behavior.“Jupiter, come on! We didn’t come here for you to sleep. Let’s eat breakfast outside and try some of their beach activities.” He nagged and I hummed tiredly in response. “Later, love.”“Jupiter! I’m hungry!”“Can’t you eat on your own? Please, I’m tired. Let me sleep for at least two hours.” I accidentally raised my voice at him and regret immediately struck my chest when shock and pain register

Jupiter is coming over. I let him. He’s sad and needs comfort. And probably in need of some unsolicited advice that I’d be giving to help him fix his relationship with his ass boyfriend.I hurriedly looked for my hair dryer and changed into a much prettier t-shirt. He’d be here in ten minutes! Will I be able to put a proper make up by that time-I froze when I realized what I’m doing. What was that? What the hell am I doing?When my eyes landed on the new shirt I was wearing, I frowned in my reflection because I knew damn well I only use this shirt whenever I’m going out. I sat weakly at the edge of my bed, speechless and stunned at my own actions.I awkwardly laughed and saw my cat turned to me with curious eyes.“Of course, Jupiter is coming over! He’s a guest! And it’s normal to want to look good in front of a guest! This is totally fine!” I kept convincing myself as I pro

“Hello dear sister! How’s your day going so far?”I looked up from my computer and watched Venus strutted my office before dropping a dessert box on top of my messy table. She smiled brightly at me before taking a seat on the chair to face me.“I brought you a carrot cake. It’s the best seller in my shop right now,” she beamed and I cringed, taking a peek on the box.She hit my arm when she noticed the disgusted expression on my face.“Thanks but don’t ever bring another one of that again. I’d rather you bring me those yummy red velvet cupcakes.”But since I don’t want to disappoint her, I’d have a slice later and maybe… give the rest of the box to Juno.“Tss! You unhealthy ass! Where’s your girlfriend? I dropped by next door but she’s not inside.&rd

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.
