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
