Loving Jupiter Chapter 122
JUPITER'S point of view I let out an exhausted sigh as I leaned back tiredly on my swivel chair. My eyes felt so heavy and I feel like I'll pass out anytime in front of my computer and all these papers that needed an urgent attention.I barely got any sleep. And I barely have time to go home so I just sleep on the couch of my office and wakes up really early to continue whatever was left on my table the day before.I glanced at my wrist watch and saw that it's nearly twelve in the afternoon.My stomach grumbled and I realized that I only had a cup of coffee since I woke up this morning. I reached for my personal phone to send Monica a message. My eyes lit up when I saw some unread messages from Juno that she sent an hour ago.I clicked on her message first before texting Monica. Juno:Babe! Good morning! I hope you're eating well. Please take care of yourself.Juno:By they way, I'm in class right now and I just finished this art
Loving Jupiter Chapter 123
JUPITER'S point of viewVenus hasn't uttered a single word since I arrived in the hospital. She's just crying and very unresponsive. And I totally understand. I, too, is still in a state of shock after the news. We're very lucky that Jacob and Monica were both there to assist us.We have decided to cremate our father's remain instead of purchasing a casket for his burial. I heaved out a deep sigh before fishing out my broken phone inside my pocket. I nearly faced palm when I remembered my dinner date with Juno tonight! Oh, fuck! I've been late for more than an hour! I typed in a short reply informing her about my father's death, and that I wanted her to be here so I can personally apologize for leaving her hanging in the restaurant. Also, I badly need her right now. Her presence calms me down and I feel sane whenever she's around.We signed a few papers and paid for the hospital bill before contacting a cremation center that would handle my fathe
Loving Jupiter Chapter 124
JUNO'S point of viewI sat down silently inside the car, watching as the guests leave one by one after the burial ceremony. It's been two hours since they buried Sebastian Acosta's cremated remains. But Venus, on the other hand, remained kneeling in front of the black marble tomb of her parents.Jacob and Monica were both beside her. Jupiter, meanwhile, was the one entertaining the guests who are all on their way out of the cemetery."You sure you don't want to approach them?" Leo asked who's also seated inside the car with me. We've been here before the ceremony even begins, just watching them from afar.I couldn't approach them since I'm afraid that Jupiter is still mad at me. I'm afraid he'll just drive me away again like the last time. And Venus... is she mad at me as well?I expelled a deep sigh before pushing the door bravely. I know Jupiter is aware that I'm here since we're not even hiding to begin with. The fact that he didn't make any eff
Loving Jupiter Chapter 125
JUNO'S point of viewI wasn't sure where is he taking me but I didn't mind at all as I set there on the passenger seat silently beside him. My eyes darted out the window. And clearly, we are not heading to their house, or his condominium. The car is actually taking the route out of the city.Where is he possibly taking me? Why do we need to go out of town for this 'talk' to happen?I licked my bottom lip and gave him a quick glance. His forehead was slightly creased as his eyes were deeply focused on the road. I noticed how he isn't taking care of his self really well these past days. It clearly shows physically on him.His body got a little thinner. The stubbles in his face are growing thicker and there dark bags under his eyes. I sighed and pursed my lips. I want to touch and hug him to my chest right now. I want cuddle him up and run my fingers along his hair and tell him that everything will work out eventually in the end."Jupiter... wher
Loving Jupiter Chapter 126
JUNO'S point of viewI wasn't sure how long did we just sat there on the bed in silence. But I cried with him. While he was soaking my shirt, I was doing the same and crying silently on his shoulder. I patted his back before pulling away from him slightly so I can see his soaked face. I smiled weakly as I wipe away the traces of tears on his face. His eyes were both bloodshot red and puffy, as well as his nose. I shifted on my seat and pulled him with me towards the center of the mattress so we can lay down for a bit and have a more comfortable position.Jupiter laid his head close to my chest as I wrapped my arm around his weak and trembling body. "So this is how it feels like? Losing both of your parents?" He heaved out a shaky breath before snuggling closer to me. "I couldn't imagine how painful it was for you back then, Juno. You were young and alone. Your parents' death were sudden unlike mine that is subtly preparing me and Venus for the worse.
Loving Jupiter Chapter 127
JUNO'S point of viewAfter our joyful lunch by the seaside, we slept through the whole afternoon. It was nearly six in the evening when a knock woken me up from my deep slumber.I yawned drowsily, pulling my body out of Jupiter's warm embrace. I stretched shortly before swinging my leg off the bed. "Coming!" I said as the knocking continued. Jupiter stirred on his sleep as his arm and eyes immediately searched for me. I chuckled as I walked towards the door, reaching for the doorknob. Matilda's face greeted me and she quickly flashed me an apologetic face upon seeing my newly woke up puffy eyes."I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep, dear. I came here to invite the two of your for dinner. Would you like to join me and Gerard on the backyard?""Oh!" I exclaimed, smiling in excitement. "No problem, Matilda. Of course, Jupiter and I will be there in five. Please give us a minute to prepare.""I'm glad to hear that! I'll see you two downstairs."
Loving Jupiter Chapter 128
JUNO'S point of view"Thank you so much, Matilda and Gerard. We loved the dinner. The foods are amazing and well cooked. We hope to eat meal with you guys again for the next days of our stay here." "Of course, dear! Let me know if you two want something in specific. I'll see if I can cook it for you guys," Matilda said."Oh, I love crabs, Matilda! I hope you have some special recipe for delicious seashells?" Jupiter kidded and Gerard quickly answered."Oh, there is! My wife knows a few recipe and they're the best. I'm gonna have a look at the wet market tomorrow for crabs. Or maybe in the fish landing for cheaper price.""We'll then, I'm looking forward to it."I cling my arm around Jupiter's as we finally headed back upstairs to our room. We'll get our wallets so we can have a look around the beach for some casual clothes."Tell Venus, or Jacob, that we'll be gone for a few days." I reminded him as we arrived back to the second floor. "I'm wor
Loving Jupiter Chapter 129
JUNO'S point of viewWe got back inside our room and decided to take turns on the bathroom for a shower. It's still pretty early and I don't think I'd fell asleep for the next three hours.While Jupiter was in the bathroom, I decided to rummage in the drawers and check if the small television mounted in front of the bed is working. Thankfully, we're lucky 'cause it is working just fine. I also found some CDs inside the drawers and I silently squealed in excitement when I realized they were horror films!I love watching horror films but only if I have a company. I'll put this in the DVD player later once I'm done taking a bath."What are you so excited for?" Jupiter stepped out of the bathroom with only his boxers on. He was drying his soaked hair using a white towel while raising a brow at me.I smiled and showed him the CD films I have found. "Let's watch later! I'm just gonna take a shower.""Hmm..." he walked towards me and crouched dow
