JUNO'S point of view
"What are you thinking, hmm?" I laid down beside him after turning off the television. We just finished a movie, and as usual, it was only me who was paying attention on the film.He seemed to be quiet lost in his own thoughts."Care to share what bothering my love?"He chuckled and shook his head, snuggling close to me from under the thick comforter."Nothing. I was just thinking about that man...""Huh?" My eyes snapped up at him. "Which man? Don't tell me you found a hottie in the beach when we were out earlier? Who was it?!"He chuckled once again, pinching my nose this time. "No, silly. I mean that asshole, Mike.""Oh..." my mood turned sour. "What about him?""I don't know, babe. He seemed to be quiet familiar." His forehead creased, as if thinking or trying to remember something. "I feel like I've seen him before. Couldn't remember, though.""Oh gosh," I sighed out.Related chapters

JUNO'S point of view"Thank you, babe! Now turn around. I'll put lotion on your back as well." I grabbed the bottle of sunblock from him so I can apply on the part of his skin that is unreachable. He took off his white tank top and let his back faced me. We have less than two days left to enjoy the beach so we decided we'll roam around the place and look for some beach activities we can engage ourselves to. We'll also buy some souvenirs for Venus and Monica.After we're done putting lotion on our skin, we finally pushed to our feet and went out of our room. Matilda was occupied when we passed through the tiny front desk. Seems like news guests have arrived to replace Mike and I hope they aren't much of a creep as he is. I winced a little when I felt the burning sand under my feet despite the slippers I was wearing. Jupiter must've felt it too and I chuckled, watching the frown on his face as he struggled to walk beside me."We should've boug

JUNO'S point of view"I got it!" The man came running down the short staircase while waving a red book in his hand. I chuckled and made a tiny jump, slightly amused 'cause the tattoo artist was just as excited as we are. "Thank you, Sir!" I accepted the tiny notebook he was handing us. "By the way, my name is Juno. And this is my boyfriend, Jupiter. We are guests here and leaving in two days. Thought we'd get a tattoo as a souvenir."The man nodded, smiling. "I see. My name is Joseph. I've been working as a tattoo artist for twelve years now in this beach.""Twelve years? Wow!" Jupiter exclaimed, totally amazed. "Well that's very assuring that you won't mess up the design you'd be inking on our skins."I laughed as I began browsing on the book."Oh, I won't! I'm very passionate and careful about my work."I turned to Jupiter and handed the book to him. "You may choose for us, babe. In the meantime, I'll sit down with Joseph here 'cause I a

JUNO'S point of viewI was seated pretty far from them while facing the tattoo book and waiting for Jupiter's tattoo to be finished. I'm not sure how many times I've already taken a photo of my own tattoo since I was too happy and obsessed with it!I sent a few to Venus although she hasn't responded yet.I looked across the room and smiled as I watched Jupiter wince in pain. The tattoo artist was inking his left arm and I'm assuming that the design was a lot bigger than the ones I have on my wrist. He refused to tell me what it is since it's supposed to be a surprise, as he said.Half an hour later, he waved at me and flashed a thumbs up, to let me know that the tattoo is done. I dropped the book and excitedly sauntered towards them so I can have a look on his little surprise.My eyes widened and I slapped a hand over my mouth in surprise. Jupiter smiled expectantly at me. "Did you like it?""Oh my God, babe! I love it! This is beautiful!" I ex
Loving Jupiter Chapter 145
JUNO'S point of viewJupiter and I were deeply satisfied by the finish design of our matching tattoos. Since it was hard to see it by ourselves, we just take photos of one another so we can take a look of it.Jupiter gave the man a big tip aside from the original price we're supposed to pay. We exited the tattoo shop totally satisfied with the arts now permanently inked on our body.I turned on my phone and saw that it's almost four in the noon. I looked at Jupiter who was wincing from time to time because of the huge tattoo he had inked on his left arm. I laughed and nudged him to get his attention. "That'll heal faster if you would dive in the salt water." I said, pointing at the beach.He glared at me, his lips in a thin line. "That would hurt like a wound being poured on by kilograms of salt, Juno. Do you want me acting like a worm here?"I laughed hard. "Well, maybe not. I don't deserve a boyfriend that'll publicly embarrass me.""You and

JUNO'S point of viewThe following day, we were shocked to see the flat tires of his car in the parking lot. Not just one, but all of them! Which makes it obvious that somebody purposely ruined his car so we wouldn't be able to leave.I held on his arm, feeling even more scared. When my eyes darted around the are, my heart raced nervously when I saw Mike looking at us from afar. A satisfied smirk was on his face. I glared at him, letting him know that we're aware that he's the one who did this. He left after that, leaving me seething on our feet."What are we gonna do now, babe? Do you know how to fix tires?""I know but I only have one spare in the trunk. Maybe let's ask Gerard if there's a nearby car repair shop here?"I nodded as we sluggishly walked back to the house with our luggage."What happened? Did you two left anything in your room?" Matilda inquired when we stepped back inside the house. I sighed wearily, scratching the si
Loving Jupiter Chapter 147
JUNO'S point of viewThe beach house was made in bamboos and woods which made it easier for the fire to spread all over the house. I coughed out loud as the smoke grew thicker inside the room, my eyes getting blurry as they sting so bad from the rising temperature.I reached for the doorknob and flinched when I felt it scorching against my palm. I felt like crying 'cause I'm running out of hope that I'll make it out alive.Where is Jupiter? Where is everyone? Matilda and Gerard? Why didn't they knock on my door when the fire isn't severe yet? I could already hear the woods breaking down from the other side of this door. I hurried towards the luggage and pulled out a thick shirt. I wrapped it around my hand before I marched back to the door to twist the doorknob open. I succeeded in doing so.But the hellish fire that greeted me as soon as I opened the door would be a lot challenging to escape. I bit my bottom lip as I felt my body trembled anxious

Third Person's point of viewThe wind by the beach side blew harder which added more fuel to the fire. Jupiter's heart hammered loudly against his chest as he felt the threatening tears peeking through the sides of his eyes. He tried to dial his girlfriend's number once again but this time, it was sent to voicemail. Unlike earlier where it was still ringing."Please! Let me in. My girlfriend is inside. Please! I need to help her out," he almost begged to the firemen circling the beach house's perimeter. "Sir, please. Step to the side. We are not allowed to let you in unless the fire is completely out. Let us do everything that we can to stop this fire."He glared at the man in uniform. "And what, huh?! Let my girlfriend suffocate to death? Or... or let her d-die into ashes? Nobody is doing anything to save her! All of you are fucking cowards!""Jupiter," a hand pulled him by the shoulder. "Calm down, dude. They're planning to get inside but the fire's growing bigger. They need to me
Loving Jupiter Chapter 149
Third Person's point of viewJuno sat back down on the heated mattress, totally hopeless as the fire began tearing down the walls of the room they were staying at. She whimpered fearfully, tears cascading down her cheeks.She had turned off her phone after firmly telling Jupiter not to risk his life to save her. It's the rightful thing to do instead of endangering both of their lives.Juno rose up from the bed and made her way to the comfort room. Every single steps felt hot against the skin of her toes. The flipflops was useless as it wasn't enough to protect her delicate feet from the burning heat. She quickly turned on the two faucets inside the bathroom, hoping that the tiny amount of water would prolong her life. She washed her face and exhaled painfully. The intoxicating smell of smoke had infiltrated her nostrils and it hurts like hell! It was difficult to breath for her.She then stepped under the shower and let her body soaked in the water. The temperature inside the room ke
