Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 25
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

ASTRAI huffed in an annoyance as I marched my way to my unit. He really isn’t thinking straight when he made that announcement to Sally Shelby! I’m sure the fans and everyone else are laughing at us right now! And I’m sure my management would be mad about this news. I’m betting they’ll be ringing my phone in less than twenty four hours to confirm all of these from me.I showered quickly when I got to my room and plopped down on my bed grumpily. This is our last day in Paris ‘cause we’re moving to London tomorrow. We haven’t decided just yet how long we’ll be staying in there but it’s already in talk and suggestion that Greece is our next destination. Preferably in Santorini.I was on the verge of falling asleep when my phone pinged beside my pillow. I groaned in annoyance thinking it was Sirius but then replaced by a tiny smile when I saw Lee’s contact number on my lock screen.Lee:Hey! How is it going? Enjoying Louvre?My lips slightly pursed to stifle my smile. My fingers quickly

ASTRA (part 2)Since it was an open home, I could perfectly see from the living room the way Lee is moving expertly in his kitchen. He was wearing a black apron while standing in front of the stove and mixing something in a white casserole. I lick my lower lip and sighed dreamily at the delicious aroma of the food scattering all over the house. My stomach is beginning to grumble and my tongue is salivating in excitement! I can't wait to have a taste of his cooking! He is such a boyfriend material but sadly, he's not for me. Long distance relationship isn't my thing...I grabbed my phone when boredom finally struck me. I turned it off earlier so I won't be bothered by Sirius. Well, I still wish him a nice dinner for tonight even though he's been annoying to me for this day.I saw a few missed calls from him. I grinned naughtily when I thought of something!I aimed my phone at the kitchen where Lee is cooking silently and took a quick picture of it. I sent it to Sirius, giggling and pr

SIRIUS“Stupid girl!” I grumbled under my breathe as I continuously walk around the streets of Paris without any direction. Just looking around hoping to stumble into them in these many restaurants all over the famous city of love.“I’m really gonna drag her back to the hotel using her hair once I see them!”I tried ringing her phone once again but it really is no use since she turned it off! So much for her telling me that her management isn’t allowing her to date for the mean time and yet here she is, out in the middle of the night meeting up with a stranger we barely know! That man could’ve been a freaking weirdo!I looked around left and right, squinting my eyes carefully at every food pub to make sure I won’t skip or miss them from all these crowds of lovers. My stomach is already grumbling in hunger but I couldn’t give in to its wish right now, not until I find her!After some time, my phone vibrated in my hand and I nearly jumped in sheer happiness when I saw Astra’s name on m

ASTRAI woke up feeling anxious and scared to open my eyes. I was scared to know and confirm that Lee succeeded with his vile plan against me. That he managed to bruise and ruin my womanhood. And that I know that it would scar me forever.But then, my surrounding felt peaceful and warm. I feel fully clothed under the thick sheet of comforters. And somehow, I could smell the familiarity of the blanket and pillows all over me. It smells like... the ones in my hotel room?Or I was just imagining things, hoping to wake up in my bed and pretend that all of those were just mere nightmares. But it felt real! It is real! Even when I hope it is not...Bravely, I finally took the courage to open an eye out. My forehead immediately creased seeing the familiar white ceiling and diamond chandelier above me. And then I closed my eye. Pressed them shut tightly, then opened them both to confirm what I was seeing.I'm back in my room?!I sat on the bed and looked around my surrounding, taking my time

ASTRA"Why don't we, uh..." I looked away from the airplane window and shifted my gaze to Sirius beside me. He was scratching the back of his head and smiling awkwardly at me."What? Are you saying something?" I asked with knitted brows."Well, uh... I'd like to suggest that," he cleared his throat and gulped. "Why don't we just rent the same room? I-I don't see the point of renting separately when we're also staying at one room all the time. I think it's a waste of money."I blinked a few times and think..."Hmm... you're right. Fine, let's stay together in one room. Have you searched for any hotel we can book at?""Y-yeah! I spotted one in Camden. I already called this morning for a reservation and thankfully they still have a vacant room. You know that city is very famous in London so we're still lucky I got us one.""Oh! Camden!" I chirped in excitement. "I've heard it's a fun and lively neighborhood. Good choice, Siri. Can't wait for this plane to land.""Well... I think we're v

ASTRAI plopped down on the hotel mattress as soon as we got inside the room. It's a double bed room and way more spacious than the ones we got in Paris. There's even a tiny kitchen on the right side of the room and a wide veranda on the left, overlooking the fun city of Camden and the markets lined up in the streets.A smile made its way to my lips. "Already liking it more than Paris. I'd love to walk downstairs tonight.""Uh-huh. It's one-thirty. Aren't you hungry? We haven't eaten lunch yet.""So call for room service."Sirius walked towards me, holding onto the sides of his waist with a stern expression. "They don't offer that here. It's self service Miss Ma'am. They have a cafeteria downstairs.""Oh! That sucks," I frowned. "Well then, I'll just change and maybe freshen up a bit then we'll head down for lunch.""Okay. Just meet me downstairs."I nodded shortly before hurrying to open my luggage and stepping inside the bathroom. The main door closed loudly and I began stripping o

32SIRIUSMy lips pursed tightly, trying to stifle my smile as I browse through the photos I took of Astra inside the car. She looks cute and charming! And that’s all thanks to me. I know all of her best angles so I’m taking all of the credits, even when I know she’ll be cursing me non stop once she find out all of these thoughts in my head.I keep away the camera and and stepped up in line, facing the all smiles cashier that is waiting for my order.“Good day, Sir! What can I get you for today?”“Well, uh…” I stared at the menu for a few minutes and contemplate which ones would Astra want for lunch. She’s not a picky eater so I guess a fried chicken would do, right? “I’d have the fried chicken meal and the pepper steak. Also, two cups of mashed potatoes and two slices of apple pie.”“Great!” the woman recited my order for confirmation and I nodded when I heard the right meal. “That’ll be twenty one bucks in total.”I stash my hand inside the pockets of my jeans and froze when I could

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

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.
