Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 68
ASTRAI wasn't sure how long did the talk with the private investigator lasted as I already fell asleep on the bed after immersing myself with some fun online games I've downloaded and deleted quickly right after I was done. When I woke up, Sirius was seated on the edge of the bed, his back facing me. I looked outside the window and was greeted by the dark sky, and glittering lights from the neighboring building surrounding our condominium. I stretched for a bit which caught his attention.Sirius turned to me. His lips slightly pursed while clutching on a piece of paper in his left hand, which I assumed was a summarize report from the investigator."What is that?" I asked, leaning closer to him to take a peek on the paper. Though, he quickly moved it away from me as he shot me a hard glare."Your fries are already soggy, dummy.""Oh," I blurted, remembering what I've asked from him earlier. "I'll just heat it up later. What's that, by the way?" I asked, pertaining to the paper as it

ASTRAI felt a lot more better now today than I was yesterday so I went back to the hospital to look after my father. He's already stable but the doctors suggested that he stay for three more days to further monitor his health.I thought Sirius would want to tag along once again. But then, my father's conscious state must've scared him off so quickly declined when I asked if he'd like to sleep over like the last time.I yawned in boredom as I snuggled on the couch with the phone on my hand. It's past twelve in the evening and my father's already snoring in his sleep. Sleep couldn't seem to find me so I've redownloaded some games to entertain myself. I was in the middle of killing off an opponent when my phone began vibrating as a call registered on the screen. It was Sirius' contact name!I glanced at my father briefly, making sure he's dead asleep as I didn't want to disturb his resting with this call. I swiped the answer button and made sure it wasn't on speaker just in case this

ASTRAI giggled in excitement as I reactivated my social media accounts upon redownloading the apps back to my phone. It's been weeks since the last time I've seen the internet. I was told that my case have already mellowed down and it shouldn't be the top conversation anymore so perhaps it is safe for me to return.I typed in my username and password as I watched it loaded on my screen. I was fidgeting and kind of nervous for what's about to greet me. For sure, everyone would be notified immediately the second I reactivate my account so I'm readying myself for the incoming notifications. "You done?" Sirius asked, slightly peeping on my phone. The screen blinked quickly and my timeline appeared, showing a few posts of the people I'm following. "Oh my God! I'm back," I squealed silently as my fingers began scrolling down my timeline, excitedly checking out the current happenings among my colleagues. And then a direct message notification from Sirius appeared. I clicked it quickly an

ASTRA"Matt," I said monotonously, acknowledging his presence as I reluctantly widened the door open to let him step inside my apartment. I heard him snickered as he followed me to the formal living room."Can you at least pretend that you're happy to see me?" He teased as if we weren't fighting just a few days ago. I rolled my eyes as I slumped on the long sofa; while him on the single couch across me. "I went to the hospital earlier, I thought you were there. You weren't answering to my calls.I shrugged boredly. Obviously, I don't want to talk. "I'm glad that your father has woken up," he continued. "Come on, Astra. Are you still mad at me?"I rolled my eyes and huffed in annoyance at him. "If it isn't so obvious to you..."Matteo exhaled deeply. "Fine, I'm sorry. You know I just want the best for you. And as far as I can see, that man isn't someone who you should associate yourself with. Especially if you're aiming to save and revive your stained image to the public.""I'm tired,

SIRIUSMy phone hasn't stopped vibrating since that silly stunt I pulled with Astra the other night. I literally had to log out and turn off my notifications 'cuz even Johnny wouldn't stop laughing at me. I made a brief glance on the internet to know of the fans thought about it. And just like I expected, most are crucifying me for being around Astra following the reputation I've gained these past week. And of course, she wasn't entirely free from the people's hate just because she managed to clear up her case. Now they have found a new thing to scorn her for- calling her an enabler for supporting and associating herself with a 'sexual abuser' like me. People on the internet are really bunch of weirdos."Where's your disguise?" I quickly locked my car door when I caught Johnny trying to step out without a single cover on his face. He turned to me, confused."What disguise?""You idiot," I glared as I leaned slightly to pull his hair. My manager winced and glared back at me. "In case

SIRIUSI pocketed my phone without typing in a reply for Astra. I then followed Johnny to the department store who's already checking out some of the displayed shirts. "These are nice. Which color do you think I should get? This?""Absolutely not," I shook my head as he grabbed the orange variant of the shirt he was checking out. "You know damn well that's not your color. Fucking tangerine."He laughed out loud before grabbing the blue and dark grey variants of the cloth. We then sashayed to the lined up stores, checking out their products- mostly Johnny, as my head was clouded of Astra's text message. I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes mentally. She's alone with her manager slash ex-boyfriend? Is she still in the hospital or did she went home and then that man made an unannounced visit in her apartment out of nowhere? The latter is actually making me seethe. That man must be harassing her if she have to text me asking for help. "What's wrong?" Johnny asked as we stopped in fron

SIRIUSI immediately start the car as soon as the call finished. I wasn't sure how fast am I going but I thought I saw Johhny through my peripheral vision clutching aggresively on his seat as soon as I let go of the brakes. I think I even heard him cussed silently.The car came to a halt in the parking lot and I quickly unbuckled my seat belt before hurrying out of my car. I heard Johnny chuckled behind me as we marched towards the elevator. I looked around warily for paparazzi when I realized I've taken off my disguise. Thankfully, I didn't see any moron holding a camera to their neck. Maybe I just didn't notice for they are carefully undercover inside these heavily tinted vehicles. We got in the lift and I swiftly pressed Astra's apartment floor. Johnny continued giggling behind me so I turned to him with my arched and confused brows. "What is it?" I asked, irritated at the malicious tone of his laughter. "Can you stop?""Hmm... jealousy is an illness." He said knowingly, purposel

ASTRAA few moments after Sirius and Johnny arrived, Matteo decided to finally leave. I walked him to the door, the fake apologetic smile remained plastered on my face, as if I was really sorry about those two suddenly showing up here and interrupting us."I'm sorry. Maybe we can hangout next time," I said fakely. "About the contract... give me a few more weeks to decide about it. I'm not really sure if I want to continue working for the agency or if I'm just exhausted and I'm not really in a good state to continue working in general."Matt sighed and nodded. "I understand. But please, visit the management sometimes so you can personally discuss this with them. Maybe having you in there in person, we can come up with some good compromising arrangements with you."This time, a genuine smile appeared on my face. "Thank you, Matt. And I will, just give me some time."He nodded one last time before finally turning to leave. I exhaled deeply before walking back inside. Johnny was laughing

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.
