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

    “We broke up,” he announced the moment he sat on my couch.And although I was hoping for that to happen because Eugene was obviously an ass, I didn’t like the gloom and sadness flashing in his eyes because of the breakup.What the actual fuck? He actually cheated? And to make it worse, it’s because of a woman.I stared at Jupiter who’s now sobbing after the third can. He was sprawled on my living room floor while Katy Perry was blasting on the speaker. Gee, I really hope my neighbors aren’t hearing all these.Using a woman to cheat on him would surely make a deeper bruise on his ego. And I’m afraid he’ll be so insecure about it…I was sad… but I did my best to laugh out loud along the music to make the atmosphere lighter. Jupiter wiped his wet face and cracked up too. He pushed to his feet and grabbed me

    (Remains on the female lead’s point of view)I was shaking in anger and fear while dragging myself back inside my apartment. Eugene was long gone but I remained there on my door step for God knows how long. I threw myself on the couch, breathing hard as I couldn’t believe what just happened.Did that asshole really came here to send an indirect threat? He's mad and obsessed! He needs help!Pickle hopped on the couch and snuggled to me, purring so loud. My chest was moving up and down so I run my fingers along her shiny fur, trying to calm myself down. When I’m sure I’m finally okay, I got up from the couch and run to my bedroom to look for my phone.I called Jupiter but even after the third missed call, nobody was picking up! I began panicking because of it. He’s not usually taking too long to answer! Did something bad happened?I couldn’t thin

    "You are not going back to your apartment again. I'll have some helpers to pick up and transfer your stuffs to my place tonight," I said through gritted teeth upon reading those disgusting messages from Eugene on her phone.I handed it to Venus so she can also see what's happening."But... I need to at least say goodbye to Maggie. Maybe I'll just move out tomorrow?"I shook my head firmly. "No. We have to be wary and alert of everything. We can't risk your safety for tonight.""Ew! Fuck this guy! He deserves to be put in jail!" Venus screamed in anger while reading the texts. She returned the phone to Juno, utterly disgusted. "We can file a case against him!""We sure can do. But that means we'll put my secret at risk," I expelled a deep frustrated sigh.Venus snarled angrily with her arms crossed defensively. "I wouldn't be surprise

    Pickle snuggled up to me as soon as I threw myself on the soft mattress of that small bedroom Jupiter have lend to me. And although it was tiny, we fit perfectly and it felt safer than ever.I stretched for a bit before circling my arm around the clingy cat. The bed was bigger and fluffier so I was more comfortable to move around without worrying I’d fall off the bed.I promised to cook for our breakfast so I woke up and shower early. But what I didn’t expect is Jupiter would wake up earlier than I so everything was done and prepared the moment I stepped on the kitchen floor. I frowned at him, arms crossed together as I sauntered closely towards the kitchen island.Jupiter smirked as soon as I was seated on the bar stool across him. “I thought you’d cook for us?”I shrugged before sipping on the black mug containing a newly prepared chocolate drink. “What time do you wake up? I didn’t know you’

    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.
