Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 55
ASTRAMy lips pursed to a tight smile as I watched my stepmother nearly burst into tears the very moment she laid eyes on my now conscious father."You stupid! You scared me to death. I thought it's time for me to arrange a wake for you!" Amy Fontanilla ranted beside my father who only laughed at her. Well honestly, I thought so too behind my optimism. But I'm glad those are mere thoughts now."I need you to recover quickly 'cause that damn company is a headache to me, Aldrich!""Oh, darling. I know you enjoy being a boss. Let me take my time while you have fun commanding my men." My father replied grinning."Oh, please! I think I need to visit a hair salon after these because for sure, I'd end up with tons of grey hairs from all the stress I faced in that office!"My father peeked at me through my stepmom's shoulder. "And why weren't you helping your mother in handling the business, young miss?" He asked with arched brows.I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms defensively. "Come on,

ASTRA"Can we go out for a moment before... uhm... before..."I couldn't help the louder chuckle breaking free from my mouth as Sirius stuggled stupidly beside me. My laugh reached my father as he once again peeked through my stepmother's shoulder. Sirius found my father's gaze which made his stiffened on his seat!"Ah! Young man. There you are!" My father said coldly while eyeing him sternly. I could literally feel Sirius shaking beside me! This is hilarious!I clung my arm around him and beamed innocently at my father. "Yes, dad. But you can formally meet him later as we're about to go out for breakfast. Have mercy for our stomachs. We haven't eaten anything yet."An audible sigh of relief escaped from Sirius. My father grimaced at us. "Fine. Make it quick, Astra. I couodn't wait to skin this man alive.""Oh, stop it!" My mom reprimanded him. "Stop scaring the boy, Aldrich. Go ahead, you two. And we're not with our discussion, old man."My father grumbled audibly. I giggled before

ASTRA"By the way..." I trailed off before taking a quick sip on my milk shake. "My manager came here this morning, while you were asleep." I informed him who was busy chomping on his pancake. His forehead creased a bit before he raised a brow at me."Your ex-boyfriend?"A frowns spread across my face. Then I kicked him slightly under the table and he frowned back, wincing a bit. "What? I thought you dated him?""I did. But stop reminding me!" I replied in irritation."Oh, why? Was he not a good boyfriend?""Stop prying over that matter. Anyway, as I was saying... he was here earlier.""And?" He cocked a brow, looking uninterested as ever. "Any good news about your tarnished career?"I rolled my eyes. "And that, too. Stop reminding me about my career's current state. I'm not even sure how I'm gonna market myself to the public again. Or if I'd ever reclaim my shine back. And mind you, you're not one to talk?!"Sirius laughed out loud and shook his head. "True, true. But you know what,

SIRIUSI could not believe how my sparkle filled life suddenly turn into this one day - acting like a damn dog trailing behind Astra twenty-four seven and sleeping in a freaking bedmat on the hospital marble floor.And yet, somehow, I couldn't find anything wrong with that. It's like I'd rather live this life instead of going back to that old past lifestyle where I'm exhaustedly working in front the camera. I wonder how things would turn out after this, once her father wake up from his near death experience. Do we go back to Greece? Or she would head back to work, slowly pick up the remaining glimmer in her career and patch it up, while I'd be left with my own company as I still have yet to figure out how to clean my name from the media.I sighed and shook my head, trying to erase those thoughts away, although I couldn't help but be bothered from time to time.I was slumped down on my couch, waiting and letting the hours pass by slowly. I went home to my apartment after lunch and wou

SIRIUSI shut my eyes tightly before throwing my bag, and my body as well, in my apartment's couch as soon as I got back home. There were paparazzi downstairs in the parking once again but fortunately, they didn't approach me this time. They just took pictures from afar - but then, that didn't make it less annoying.I texted Johnny to come and visit me again tonight. It's been a while since I had drink and it's been so long since the last time we've bonded so I thought I'll invite him here for that. He quickly said yes so I already listed the restaurants I would call for delivery later. He, on the other hand, would buy the beers for us.I was busy browsing on the internet, looking for a nice film to watch, when Astra's contact name pop up on the notification.Astra:I'm going home! Mom will spend the night here in the hospital instead."Oh..." And then a follow up text came up.Astra:What you doing tonight? Got any plans?I typed in a reply quickly.Me:Drinking with Johnny. You can

SIRIUS"What, really?! What does it say?" She looked equally excited and thrilled as I am. Now she scooted closer to me and practically glued her face on my phone. I chuckled and put my phone further as I want to read it first before sharing whatever news my investigator have for me with her."Geez, move away! Let me see it first," I rolled my eyes, chuckling. Her eyes rolled back before she leaned away slightly to give me very tiny privacy. Tiny! Her eyes were still glued on my mobile device."Nosy ass," I muttered, purposely letting her hear it. I received a light smack on the arm which I ignored as I proceeded to open the message that Harrison, my private investigator, have sent me. Harrison Dorn:Good noon. I apologize for taking so long to deliver a useful result to you. But I'm glad to tell you that I've finally manage to see through a tiny hole in the case and had the few names involved in it investigated and interviewed. When will you be free to discuss it in person?I felt t

ASTRAI didn't expect I'd click easily with Johnny. We were civil to one another in past encounters during grand carpet events. Although, he wasn't exactly warm and friendly to me, he was cold and only say calculated words beside Sirius. But now, I couldn't believe we were practically squealing at each other's faces and talking shit about the artist he's managing. I could Sirius' hard glare from across us. Looks like he isn't enjoying this mini night gathering he's hosting.I cast him a glance and winked playfully, to which he just responded with a roll of eyes before focusing his eyes on the television. We have finished a bottle of wine and Johnny called for beers this time. When the door chimed, he quickly answered which left me and Sirius in the living room alone.I smiled at him while wiggling my brows teasingly. "Johnny is my best friend now."He sneered and took a swig on his wine glass. "I can see that. Good for you. Remember when you took the Vogue cover magazine from me?""W

ASTRAI shot him an incredulous look as I shook my head briefly while chuckling lightly. Johnny laughed out loud while Sirius remained silent beside me, though I know he's holding back his laughter 'cause he clearly knows the answer.I cleared my throat and shifted on my seat. "What's the punishment if I do not want to answer a question or follow the dare?""Hmm..." Johnny's eyes traveled to the cans of beer beside him. And then he shook his head. "Nah, this is too light for a punishment. You got any brandy in your fridge, Sirius?"I gulped silently 'cause I know I'd be sprawled on this floor before I could even reach five shots of that hard liqour. Sirius got up to check in the kitchen and came back immediately with two flask of brandy. "This is all I've got left. One gulp for every pass."My lips pursed tightly. I enjoy alcohol driking sometimes but there are types of alcohol I just really dislike. Mostly men's drink."So?" Johnny grinned at me. "I don't think you've answered my qu

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.
