2022-01-22 23:52:44I’m not sure how our sweet, wholesome interaction last night ended up to a silent, awkward drive to the office. I remembered how we even laughed and talked about nonsense shits last night over pasta and hot chocolates. The television was on but we’re way engrossed and entertained with each other’s company.
We went to bed nearly eleven, and he kissed me twice on the temple after walking me to the guest room. And in the morning, we couldn’t look at each other’s eyes anymore. Breakfast was awfully awkward! Every attempt to start a conversation was a massive failure.
He parked the car to his usual spot. He’d mostly open the door for me… but since we’re not in a very nice ambiance, I assisted myself out. I saw him ran to my side but immediately stopped when he found me already out of the car. Jupiter sighed as he pocketed his hand, the other holding his laptop bag.
I awkwardly smiled at him as I headed to

(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)Venus was rambling so bad behind me as I knocked shortly at her twin brother’s door before pushing it open. Jupiter looked up from his computer and I immediately noticed the eyeglass he’s wearing. Great! He look good in it.“Hi!” Venus chirped from behind and I shook my head, sighing as we stepped inside his office. I made another glass of juice since Venus finished the first one I made.“Juice in ten minutes, she said.” Jupiter raised a brow and I shrugged, motioning to his twin sister who’s already seated on the visitor’s chair in front of him. “The hell is happening to you? Are you high on something?”Venus laughed before tucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. Now I don’t mean to be judgmental but she look absolutely stupid right now. Ridiculously stupid! The smile and spark on her face is something else!

(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)“Juno! Ah, my favorite niece. This sudden visit is such a surprise to me,” he smiled fakely at me before his eyes surveyed my companies. “I see you brought some friends… and police.”“What the hell is this?” Tatiana leered at me while I remain smirking at them.“Didn’t I told you yesterday to begin packing your things?”Uncle Alvin’s face immediately paled. He glowered at my smirking face and I can see the utter terror in his expression when the policemen behind us stepped forward to present the warrant of arrest to him.Uncle glared at me darkly. The horror in his face was gone and now replaced with anger. “Damn you! I will never let you take away this mansion from me! This is ours! Tatiana is to inherit this-”“That is not what the papers said, Mr. Soledad. Your niece is the leg

Venus and Juno went back in the office at noon with a delightful news to share with me. Both girls were squealing and overjoyed while they were telling me every details of the story. I was happy, too. They even made a reservation at a nearby Japanese restaurant for a mini celebration tonight.I turned off my computer so I can take a quick peek next door. We still have two more hours to spend in the office but I’m done and already finished more than the tasks I assigned to myself for this day. I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I’d have an early out…“Hey, girls! How is it going?” I walked in inside Juno’s office and found the two of them on the single sofa occupied on the tablet in Venus’ hand. Juno was sitting on the sofa’s armrest while leaning down on the gadget’s screen. “What are you girls doing?”I walked towards them and tried to peek on the screen but Venus quickly hid it fro

“I dare you to… kiss me!” Venus exclaimed confidently while giggling loudly beside Jace who seemed extremely uncomfortable with the game she desperately made us join. “Of course, cheek only!” She even batted her eyelashes on him!I bit my lower lip before sipping on my cucumber juice as I felt the second hand embarrassment struck me. Jupiter was beside me while the other two was seated on the chairs across us. The wide oak table was dividing us from them and in front of us were the nearly empty plates of food we enjoyed for dinner. There were also a few bottles of alcohol scattered on top of the table.Venus is definitely drunk now since she’s the only one enjoying the game. Everything was in favor of her every time it was Jace’s turn to answer questions or do some dares. The gracefulness and elegance she was sporting to him this morning were gone and all that’s left was her crazy kinda obsessed for the hot

(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)Saturday came and up until now, I’m still completely puzzled about the sudden change of his mind about my attendance on the yacht party. Just a few days ago, he was firm and stern about avoiding that damn ship. Now I wonder if the phone call has an influence to his sudden decision. And who called him?I sighed before turning off the computer so I can finally get ready to leave. Venus will fetch me at seven at the condominium. I haven’t bought a swimwear or any outfit for the party but she assured to bring me some of hers. She also invited Jace, but after what happened during our dinner a few days ago, I don’t think he would want to attend and be near her craziness again.Meanwhile, Jupiter went out for a business meeting this noon and hasn’t come back yet. It’s been four hours which is unexpectedly long. I tried to message him but there’s not a sing

(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)Venus helped me with my make-up and hair to speed up our time so we can finally leave and make our way to the party. The yacht was docked in a luxury beach resort nearly forty minutes away from the city. It’ll sail not too far from the beach so we can enjoy the sea and get the party officially started.Jupiter decided to drive us there. I chose to sit on the back to let the birthday twins have their moment in front. He’s still oddly silent while Venus kept checking her face on the tiny mirror she brought for a quick retouch. I got pretty conscious with whatever she’s doing so I grabbed my phone so I can also check on my own make-up.Jupiter caught my attention when I heard him purposely let out a cough so I looked up at him through the rear view mirror and our eyes immediately locked. The mini interaction brought spark all over my body so I quickly looked away and cl

(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)“Oh my gosh! You two are seriously the cutest couple on the internet right now!”“So I guess we’re too luck to witness that kiss personally?”“Girl, it would’ve been better if you kissed him on the lips.”“Seriously, you two will make an adorable front page cover to our magazine! Would you like to hear and consider my offer?”I was so overwhelmed at the flow of compliments and greetings from Venus’ circle when I got up on the deck. The beautiful ladies immediately rushed towards me, offering their hands to introduce themselves and to voice out their opinions and reactions about my relationship with Jupiter.Venus laughed and pulled me closer to her, shushing her friends when she noticed how I’m drowning from their presence and words.“Calm down, girls. Juno here is pretty shy- wel

Everything was planned. I remember how thrilled I felt when I was planning and arranging my supposed birthday dinner with Juno that Saturday night. I remember the many nights I spent in my bedroom, writing down my feelings and confession in my phone’s note app for her.I would recite it to her as I ask for her hand so we can dance in the middle of the fancy restaurant I rented just for us two. A classical piano piece would play in the background. And then I would start my confession speech about how she managed to shake my whole system and confuse the hell out of me.I wouldn’t say that I’m in love with her. I think it’s such a strong word. But definitely, there’s a strong force of attraction that kept pulling me towards her. And if I won’t talk this one out with her, I’m sure I would drown and burst in this bubble of feeling that I couldn’t put a label to.It’s supposed to be one of the most me

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.
