Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 18
ASTRA"A whole month is way too long for somebody as busy as you, Sirius. Are you sure your management approved of this long leave or you ran away?" I asked, eyeing him suspiciously that morning while we were having our very first breakfast together in Paris in my bedroom veranda.His eyes slightly widened and looked away from me. I glared at him playfully 'cause he looked like a criminal caught in his own crime. "What now? Are you ditching your work 'cause you miss me so much?" I teased and he rolled his eyes before aggressively slicing a part of his waffle. "You wish. You're not that special. I'm here for the wonderful and handsome French men of Paris," he defended himself while munching on his food in irritation.I shrugged and sipped on my coffee. "Just because this is the city of love, doesn't mean it'll be easy to find yourself a love. The locals are very rude. But anyway, good luck to that. Any plans for today?"He just shook his head. "Nope. Just hangout here and maybe take

SIRIUSSighing, I stepped back in defeat and motioned for her to come inside with me. I would gladly tell her about whatever happened that day instead of letting her find out everything on the internet. I wouldn't allow that!For sure, any article or post she would come across the internet have been revised a thousand times to villainize me more! And besides, I wouldn't want to risk her mental health right now. I could clearly see how she's slowly recovering from the mess that she's been a few weeks ago. Putting her on the internet again would risk everything!"I'll tell you what happened, Astra. Everything. In one condition," my eyes squinted strictly at her. "Delete the app and never open it again. We both know exposing you on the internet isn't really good for you."She sighed shortly and nodded to my request. "Fine. I just got... really curious. But if you're not ready to talk about it, I understand. I just want to have an idea or a single clue on how and why are you this free?"I

SIRIUS (part 2)The video she filmed immediately circulated around the internet. And my chance to clear her accusations lessened because on that particular day, as if everything was planned out, the surveilance camera of the lift was broken.To make it worse, there were also stupid threads online, which is obviously made up by a hater, that garnered so much interactions and attentions after that woman accused me of stupid things! It's been posted for days but only resurfaced as if to support the woman's claims agaisnt me.And now... the whole world thinks I am a sexual predator. That I'm harrasing beautiful women for pictures and autograph. I wanted to puke and scream! I am fucking gay! I could never be attracted to women! Fuck it!It once crossed my mind to just confessed and come out of the closet, thinking it would somehow solve everything. But Johnny strictly told me it would only make everything worse. I was investigated. And during those times, I knew back then that the investi

ASTRAI haven't heard back from Sirius since last night after the heavy revelation he just told me about his life. It's fine, though. If he needs some space and more cuddles from his bed, I totally understand. However, I felt a little lonely having to eat my lunch alone today. I texted him an hour ago asking if he'd like to join me for lunch but I haven't heard back a reply. But as I've said, it's fine.I rolled my eyes inwardly before shoving a spoonful in my mouth, eyeing the sweet couple across me with bitterness. Why did I even leave my hotel room to dine out when I could've just called for a room service? Ah, right! I'm fucking bored! I think I'm gonna lose my mind if I won't see a new surrounding. The four corners of my room is beginning to dull me out!"Hi!" My head snapped up when I heard a voice greeted me. A man, standing six foot tall, wearing a formal suit, was standing beside my table while carrying a cup of iced coffee. He was smiling and he looked friendly. I smiled

ASTRA (part 2)I thought it'll be a very bitter lunch for me. But surprisingly, Lee arrived to entertain my lonely afternoon. We talk some more and even exchanged numbers to meet up next time. It was a nearby restaurant from our area so we just walked our way home. He even walked me till the entrance of the hotel building, where I found Sirius who just emerged out of the elevator.I smiled widely and waved at him. He quickly found me and walked his way to me. He was unsmiling and serious as his eyes darted to the man beside me. I giggled and looked at Lee who also glanced at me with a curious expression."You have a... boyfriend?" Lee asked and I chuckled, shaking my head."Oh, no! That's Sirius, a close friend of mine.""Astra."I looked away from Lee and found my friend already nearing us, the serious and cold expression never leaving his face."Sirius!" I greeted, hitting him playfully on the arm. "You're not answering to my texts! I just went out for lunch and met Lee in the rest

SIRIUS"Girl, how is Paris? I hope you're doing great out there?" Johnny's high pitched voice greeted me as soon as I picked up his call early in the morning. I wasn't even out of bed just yet but since this is his first call since I arrived in here, I answered without hesitation despite the sleepiness."It's seven-twenty in the morning, bitch." I answered groggily, scratching my eyes to shoo away the remaining sleep in my system. "I'm good. How's the investigation going on?"Johnny sneered. "Good morning! But anyway, l haven't heard back from the investigator you hired so let's talk about something else for the mean time. How's the French guys?""Tss! Slut!" I exclaimed, sitting up on my bed, laughing softly at my best friend's playfulness. "Cute and boring. Not interested.""Unbelievable!" I could imagine him scowling from the other line. "You're far away and very free to express yourself, bestie! Go ahead and whore around!""For your information Johnny, I'm in the middle of crisis

ASTRA"What was that, Ma'am? I don't think I clearly heard you?" I asked in utter amusement, my attention now being divided between him and my phone, where I'm currently texting with Lee to continue our getting to know well stage.Sirius shrugged on his seat. "I don't know, just a random thought. I'm afraid we'll get bored out of Paris in a while so why not travel to another place? Use this opportunity to explore and see the world?""Hmm..." I thought of it for a moment as he continued eating in front of me, occasionally giving my phone a hard glare. That's actually a nice idea. And he's right, somehow. I've been staying here for a while now and I'd soon get bored and look for a brand new surrounding. "Okay!" I agreed later on. "But you just got here, Sirius. Let's tour you around Paris first before we fly to another place. Where do you suggest we go next?""London, perhaps? I've only been there once for a photoshoot so I wasn't able to look around. Let's stay for another three days

SIRIUSI browsed through the photos I took on the camera hanging around my neck and smiled in satisfaction. Astra is naturally friendly in cameras and no wonder why she’s not only a successful actress, but a highly demanded model as well. And I… maybe I will excel in photography if I manage to find the time to focus in this new found hobby.I turned off the camera and decided to approach Astra who’s staring at a huge classical painting hanging on the great white wall of the museum. She smiled at me and clung on my arm, and I frowned. I didn’t realize how fucking clingy this woman is before I offered friendship to her.She’s constantly messaging me. Updating me with whatever is happening to her as if I asked about it. And even gets mad one time when I wasn’t able to update her earlier about my supposed canceled visit.But somehow, I understand and couldn’t blame. She never had any friend her whole life. I know ‘cause we were schoolmates back then. She’s a loner and eats by herself at t

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
Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 92
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
Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 90
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.
