ASTRA

I tied my hair in a high ponytail and grabbed my wallet before finally stepping out of the hotel room. I feel kinda nervous as I began gathering witty remarks in my head in case Sirius brings up the mess I just did some moments ago.

I got in the ground floor in a few seconds and asked a patrolling guard for the direction to the cafeteria. He politely pointed the left hallway to me and I muttered a curt thanks to him before heading towards that direction.

Immediately, I spotted Sirius from the glass wall of the cafeteria, seated just near the entrance. He found my eyes as well and he frowned deeply as his head tilted, as if telling me to walk faster and sit already ‘cause he’s already famish from the merely hour long flight.

“Oh! Pepper steak-”

“Ah-uh!” He stopped me and pushed the chicken meal towards me as soon as I settled in on the chair in front of him.

I frowned in annoyance. “Why would you buy me this? This chicken looks so dry! You could’ve gotten the steak for both

    SIRIUSI stared at the woman standing a few meters from me and sighed wearily. I am fucking tired! It's been over three hours and we're still here at the market! And worse, she made me the carrier of her shopping bags!I shook my head and licked on the ice cream cone, still watching her closely as she speaks with the food vendor. She's currently buying us a burger meal which she later on called us a payment for carrying her things. This woman is fucking unbelievable!The old man finally handed her the food, then she turned to me with a wide smile and ran quickly towards my direction. I crossed my legs together and watched her put down the wrapped up food on the bench beside me."What are you frowning about? Get this and eat! That's your third cone of ice cream in a span of two hours. Jesus!"I shook my head and swallowed the remaining cone before grabbing myself a burger from the styro made tray. "We're going home after finishing this," I announced before taking a big bite off the bu

    ASTRAI had a fairly good time shopping in Camden market and buying all the shiny things my eyes desires to own! It was such a fun experience! I'd surely get back here again before we move to another place."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

    ASTRAOur London trip, overall, was a way fun experience than the ones we had in Paris. Of course, minus the occasional awkwardness of silence whenever we're alone in the hotel room.We went to the Buckingham Palace, took pictures and said our greetings to the unmoving guards. Then we visited the British museum! I had a fun time learning about historical artifact and archeological finds. Of course, we took pictures as well. Mostly I, myself! And then, there's The National Gallery! I saw a Van Gogh painting in there and nearly left my jaw on the floor. It's a museum solely dedicated for classical paintings from our legendary artists in the past! And finally, we went to the Tower of London. The palace's structure was truly magnificent and such a beauty to look at. We also went back to Camden market but that's only for a quick stop to buy some things we'll be needing before heading to our next destination.Greece!And now here we are, packing up in our room for our three hours long fli

    SIRIUSI put down my phone and looked up at the woman finally calling for our flight. Then my eyes darted to the girl sitting just beside me. I’m sure she didn’t hear it as there’s a large headphone covering her ears. She was even banging her head gently and I could slightly hear the pop rock music blasting out of it despite the airport noise.It’s fucking four-thirty in the morning! Jesus!I slightly nudged her before I rose up from my seat, quickly grabbing my things. Her head shot up to me questioningly and I wordlessly motioned to her that our flight’s finally been called. Her lips slightly pursed before she tapped something on her phone and took off her headphones.“I’m sitting beside the window, okay?” she announced as we walked our way to the plane.I glared at her hardly. “What? No! You had the window to yourself on our way to London. I will have it this time.”“Ugh! Fine. But I’ll have it again to our next destination, alright?”“Whatever.”We finally settled in as the cabin

    ASTRA A wide smile break free from my lips the moment I stepped foot in the country of Greece. Finally! We’re here! I hope we stay a lot longer and explore the country more unlike our Paris and London trip where we stay put in one place and hotel. We rode a taxi that will take us to the wonderful beach resort of Santorini. I quickly gasped when I realized I’m running out of swim wears! Well, I bought a few in Paris but I already wore them and took pictures of it when I took a dip on the wide pool located at the top of the hotel. I don’t want to reuse it! “Do you think they sell bikinis in the resort?” “Didn’t you have a few pairs in your luggage? I saw it when I was getting your toiletries.” “But I already wore them!” “So?” He turned to me with arched brow. “Why do you need that much swim wears? You’re wasting money!” “And so what? It’s my money!” "What a careless woman you are!""Okay, Rolex king!" I retorted back."Ha! For the record, most of those watch are gifts from frien

    ASTRAAfter breakfast, we decided to rest and take a nap for a moment before touring around the resort. We didn't get enough much sleep last night, and even on the plane, so we're gonna take this time to lay down for a bit. I woke up two hours later, almost twelve in the afternoon. Sirius was already awake when I stepped out of my room. He's on the couch and browsing on the television, legs crossed together while wearing a simple dark gray sweatshirt. Just that, and nothing else. His upper body was fully exposed to my eyes. I gulped and quickly looked away, my mind is short-circuiting at the view of his abs and muscular arms."It's twelve. Wanna head out for lunch?" He spoke up as I heard the plastic remote resounded on the coffee table in front of the couch."I'm not hungry yet.""Oh, gee! Don't tell me you're actually serious with that diet shit? That's ridiculous!""What's so ridiculous about wanting to stay fit?" I looked at him again and glared, trying my best to focus on his f

    ASTRA (flashback part 1)I crossed my legs together as I remained sitting stiffly on my armchair, silently observing my classmates who are all excited for tomorrow's school activity: Art and Science Fair.And then I looked at the Prada bag perched up on the other chair just beside me. Of course it's mine. And then there's another empty chair just beside it. Nobody actually sits in this row aside from me. I love it here, actually. Away from the big board and the teacher. Nobody's speaking to me as I initially don't get along well with anyone. It's currently homeroom and we're told to use this time to finalize our class presentation for tomorrow. I didn't really understand what they were trying to create so I didn't bother participating anymore. And even if I try to give my own ideas, they wouldn't let me. So instead of wasting my time talking to them, I just contributed some money, twice the amount they're collecting per student, so they wouldn't complain about me not sharing my id

    ASTRA (flashback part 2) When I was a mere kid, back then when I wasn’t even in high school just yet, the bookstore is my favorite hangout place for so many reasons. I love reading! I love discovering new ideas! It is also my mother’s work place after she quit designing for a high end brand. But most importantly, there’s this particular type of reading material I always love to check out during my free time. A visual book. A magazine. In those pages, there are beautiful tall women wearing elegant clothes. They look mysterious and intimidating. My mother calls them a model. She then mentioned that she use to work with those kind of women before. Ever since I learned about models, I dreamed of becoming one as well. I learned to dressed up properly though my closet used to consist of average looking clothes. I’ve learned to fix my posture, and copied how models walk on the videos I used to search on the internet. It was a ridiculous dream I thought I wouldn’t be able to achieve. I th

    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.

    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.
