Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 8
ASTRA I fell down weakly on the concrete floor, teary eyed, catching my breath, and gripping tightly on my phone. I whimpered pathetically as I furiously blinked away the tears clouding my eyes. With shaky hands and blurry eyes, I pressed the dial button and rang Matteo's phone.There was an immediate response after two rings."Astra! I left you for ten minutes and you're already out of your dressing room. Where did you go? The first round of rehearsals will be done in a few minutes.""Matt..." I sobbed weakly after he was done talking. "R-rooftop please. I'm sorry."I pressed my eyes tightly, biting my bottom lip, trying my best to suppress the sobs wanting to break free from my mouth. I'm a killer...Matteo didn't take too long to arrive. The rooftop door burst open, and my sobs and whimpers burst free as well. I remained lying there on the ground, crying in utter frustration as I heard his loud curses of confusion, and worry.He ran quickly towards me and held my weak body. I fel

SIRIUSAfter making sure that the water was hot and boiling enough for my liking, I began pouring the pasta and filling the pot that would make a meal just enough for three people. Well, me and Astra... and an extra plate that she can reheat for later.Beside the pot was a frying pan where I'm cooking a well marinated chicken. I wanted to serve her real food that she can enjoy for tonight... and well, maybe for the next following days if I'd still be in a kind mood to keep paying her a visit.I put away the frying pan cover and flipped the chiken once I'm sure the other side were already cooked. I could feel Astra eyeing me from behind and I wanted to roll my eyes and shout at her had she just not finish crying a few minutes ago.I know she's still baffled at the niceity I'm showing right now. But she needs to know that I, myself, is quiete confused with my own actions, too! Astra cleared her throat and I turned to look at her after covering the pot and pan. Our gazes lingered for a

ASTRAI scooped a spoonful of cereal and shoved it in my mouth, merely tasting its sweetness 'cause my head and attention were focused to somewhere else.After another spoon, my eyes once again darted back to my door. It's nearly ten in the evening! What's taking him so long? I thought he'd be here earlier than he was yesterday. Now what?!I rolled my eyes in irritation before dropping my cereal bowl on the center table of my living room. Whatever! It's not like it is his obligation to come here every night to pay my ass a pitiful visit. Who am I anyway? I'm just a friend!A friend...I giggled on my seat, still utterly amused remembering his friendship proposal last night. I couldn't believe we can actually be something else other than enemies! And since I'm pathetic and I have no other friends right now, who am I to decline his offer? Even if his concern and kindness were out of pity, I'd gladly take out. I am in a very desperate position right now for someone else's company.Not th

SIRIUS"A funfair?!" Astra screeched beside me after I parked the car in front of the ride park where I planned to bring her for this day. She turned to look at me with a hard glare, visibly against my plan.Of course, I already expected this reaction from her. So before she could scream at my face again, my hand reached for the paper bag on the backseat and threw it at her lap. "I got us some disguise. Trust me, nobody would recognize us. And besides, this is the most fun place on Earth! I bet you haven't visited a ride park for so long since you became a public figure."She sneered, rummaging on the paper bag. "Well, you're totally wrong! I, in fact, have visited one for a television show.""Oh... right." Yes, I remember now. I've watched that one episode where she was screeching so loud on the roller coaster while being asked by the interviewer some fun questions. "Well that's for the television so it's scripted. The fun is scripted. Your reactions are scripted-""Excuse me?! How

ASTRATo say that I was stunned hearing him stand up for me was an understatement. And the way he did it, I'm not sure if I should feel scared or laugh about it.He sounds so serious and scary! Not a single ounce of amusement can be trace on his voice.The three girls eyed us back, totally bewildered how Sirius just insulted them just now. The blonde girl in between the two other brunettes stepped forward and glared at him. She had her arms crossed against her chest, eyebrows cocked while trying her best to look tough in front of Sirius."Excuse me? Who even are you? Can you just mind your own business?"Sirius laughed humorlessly. "Mind my own business, huh? I suggest you take that advice to yourselves. You and your dumb friends are literally out here talking about someone who don't even know your dumbasses."Well now I know them..."And so what? Are you one of her fan?" They laughed in unison. "Your idol is so pathetic. I'm sure her career won't ever recover again after this issue.

Note: I noticed that I mistakenly uploaded the previous chapter twice so I'm just gonna edit this chapter into its rightful content instead of deleting. Thanks!SIRIUSAlthough my head was already spinning from the multiple rides we've tried today, I kept it to myself and let her pull me wherever ride her heart desired to experience.We're only down to two more rides and I couldn't help but utter a few silent prayers as the roaler coaster patiently awaits for us. Astra definitely reserved it for our last ride. I gulped the last drop of soda in my can before quickly wearing back my mask. We literally had to find a less crowded and darker place where park goers won't find us so we can enjoy our dinner meal. "I couldn't properly see anymore with this shades," she complained before taking a big bite off her hotdog sandwich. "We're about to go home anyway after we're done with the roller coaster."My brow arched a bit. "What about the ferris wheel?""Nah, it's corny and lame!" She shook h

ASTRAI plopped down 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.

SIRIUS "Good. You actually don't need my help at all," I commented after our rehearsals for her supposed press conference tomorrow. Astra is definitely smart. She knows how to speak well and what to say. Very articulate! She was also properly trained to be a public figure. I'm sure she'd be able to handle the media tomorrow with proper control and guidance from her team.I hope things would finally go well for her after this. And then... we can go back to our constant bickering and petty competitions!I chuckled inwardly. My eyes then darted towards the empty cereal bowls on the center table of her living room. How the fuck did this woman survived this long without knowing how to cook? She's so pitiful and adorable at the same time...I chuckled inwardly.

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
