(Remains on the female lead’s point of view)

The great Jupiter was nowhere inside his office when I arrived at the company. I grunted in irritation as I practically punch my fingers on the keyboard while answering to some clients’ inquiries. Where the hell is that guy?! Based on his schedule today, he doesn’t have any outdoor meeting. What could possibly be keeping him busy at this time of the day?

I leaned back on my seat and sighed out. “This is so clingy of you, Juno Larissa. Get a grip, please.” I silently admonished myself while glaring at the computer screen.

Minutes later, Venus barged inside my office, squealing loudly, while carrying a box of cake in her hand. I immediately knew it was her specialty… carrot cake.

“Juno, darling! Tell me all the deets! What happened after your dinner? Oh my gosh!” She looked extremely excited while taking a seat in front of me. She then dropped the box

    Twelve-ten.I slammed the door close after hopping inside my car to finally pick up Juno in their house. We had a blissful evening last night… which extended up until the morning. It’s a relief that no works are piling up so we’re free to take a half-day at the office right now.I was singing my lungs out and grinning from ear to ear while driving my way to her. I couldn’t believe this is possible! All along, I thought I’d only feel attraction to guys. I was never attracted to girls so I didn’t think I would ever find myself having a girlfriend!I hummed happily as my car entered the subdivision gate where Juno lives. But just when I was about to reach her house, my phone lit up because of my father’s call. I slightly slowed down as I plugged in my earphone.“Hey, Dad? What can I do for you?” I beamed, smiling widely as I sped up on the road. I’m so excited to see Juno, even though we were just

    JUPITER’S point of viewI needed to breathe. I needed a quick escape to calm my head from all these mess. I glanced at the hospital hallway one last time before pushing to my feet and heading outside to my car. Before that, I made sure to leave a few of our men to guide the victims and look after them.I tried to call Juno but she isn’t picking up. She must be pissed because of my negligence to inform her that I couldn’t pick her up earlier. I’m sure she’d be saddened by this news…Few minutes later, I got in the company and found Juno and my sister inside her office. I scrunched my face in disgust when I saw the box of cake on top of her table. That damn carrot cake! I could puke right now!Juno rushed into me and slightly pulled my hair. I chuckled lightly. The stress I was feeling earlier is slowly soaring down.I was suppressing my smile as I watch her comb my hair and fix my suit. I would love to make this a daily routine with her. I feel pampered

    JUPITER'S point of view"Dad."My father exhaled deeply as he marched towards his table. He massaged the sides of his forehead after sitting down on his chair and throwing me a stressed look.I waited for half an hour inside his office until the meeting was done. It must've been so serious since I don't remember we've had a meeting that long before.I texted Juno that it'll take me longer to get home so she must go ahead and eat first. I was disappointed 'cause I really want to eat meal with her tonight. But of course, we have a huge problem in our plate right now so that can wait. We can always find time to do that some other days."So far, we've had eighteen clients requesting to cancel services from us. Five of them are quite a big loss," he informed me and I leaned back on my seat in utter disappointment."Please tell me the Alonzo deal are not part of them, Dad."My father smiled weakly and relief rushed i

    JUNO’S point of view“These people are insufferable,” I murmured to myself upon reading people’s comments on the internet about the ACF project building collapse. I posted a donation-drive link on my account but all I get was these hateful corny ass comments about me being a gold digger.Like seriously? Fucking trolls.Venus and I were down to two departments for the donation-drive we’re conducting today. We just took a lunch break and then we’ll continue after this. Jupiter, on the other hand, is back in the hospital to check on the victims. We were saddened by the unfortunate news that the victims who lost their lives increased by nine. Also, there were comatose patients. Including the head architect of the project.We’ll be heading to the hospital after we’re done collecting donation money. Most of the employees were so generous and kind about the situation. I think we’re actually able to raise nearly two hundred thousand bucks! Two departments and online don

    JUPITER'S point of viewA big smile break free from my lips as I watch the women of my life, Juno and Venus, walked side by side on the hallway, heading to me. Behind them was my great pal, Jacob, wearing a smug look on his face.Juno has a tiny smirk on her face while my sister look annoyed as hell. I immediately conclude that my girlfriend might have pissed her off, through Jacob. Ah... my girlfriend. I sighed in satisfaction and laughed joyously in my head. That sounds good, didn't it?"Hey! Glad you guys can come," I got up from my seat to greet the three of them. Juno hugged me while I nodded at the other two."We raised a total of three hundred thousand! Oh, wait... not totally! The online donations haven't been counted," she grinned happily at me while waving the cheque on my face. "We can check on it after a week. I hope we'd be able to raise more money for the victims."I nodded and slightly pinched her on the cheek. God, she's so adorable.

    JUNO'S point of viewA heavy sigh escaped my lips as my back enjoyed the soft backrest of the passengers seat. I shut my eyes tightly in utter exhaustion as Jupiter fastened my seatbelt for me. I'm so famish. It's almost nine in the evening and we haven't eaten anything. The three of us got so busy talking to the patients, assuring them that everything will be already soon. That we're here to help them out to start a new life. It's all worth it, though. The tiredness and hunger were all worth it. I'm happy we were able to bring a tiny hope into them from the donations we gathered today."Where do you want to eat?" I heard him asked and I hummed tiredly before opening my eyes."Let's just go on a drive-thru," I suggested and he nodded without a word before starting the car. We were dead silent throughout the drive on our way home. I was just eating the burgers and pasta he ordered while feeding him from time to time. He look just as tired as

    JUPITER'S point of viewIt was such a long day for all of us in the hospital. Extremely tiring and exhausting, too. But having Juno beside me at the end of the day, takes away all the tiredness in my body.It was all worth it. A tiny smile appeared on my face as I watch her sleep soundly beside me. She looked peaceful and serene. I was holding her tightly while her legs were practically entangled around me. It's two in the morning and I woke up feeling the need to pee. But I'm afraid I'll wake her up 'cause I need to push her off my body in order to leave the bed. I sighed, still wearing a smile on my face. My hands then flew to her face to tuck the strands of hair scattered on her beautiful face. Maybe I can hold it a little longer...I kissed her one more time on the forehead before closing my eyes, hoping I won't wet the mattress tonight.The next morning, I woke up feeling the vibration of my phone under my pillow. I yawned befo

    JUPITER'S point of viewMy grip tightened hardly on the phone as I held it near my ear. I could feel how my fingers started to tremble from the rising fear in my chest.Juno's with him! I could literally hear some muffled screams just beside him and those noises are only adding panic to my being!"What do you want?" I asked through gritted teeth. Eugene chuckled darkly. "I don't want a happy ever after for the both of you," he continued laughing crazily. "If I can't have what I want, then neither you two!""I swear to God, if you try to hurt her-" my breathing hitched when I heard the screams grew louder. It sounds like a cry for help! Are they actually hurting my woman?!"Fuck you! Don't fucking touch her!" I screamed angrily, my chest was rising up and down violently. "Eugene, please... what do you want? I'll give it to you this instant, j-just... just don't hurt her." My voice trembled, my whole body was shaking in panic and fear."I al

    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.
