ASTRA"A whole month is way too long for somebody as busy as you, Sirius. Are you sure your management approved of this long leave or you ran away?" I asked, eyeing him suspiciously that morning while we were having our very first breakfast together in Paris in my bedroom veranda.His eyes slightly widened and looked away from me. I glared at him playfully 'cause he looked like a criminal caught in his own crime. "What now? Are you ditching your work 'cause you miss me so much?" I teased and he rolled his eyes before aggressively slicing a part of his waffle. "You wish. You're not that special. I'm here for the wonderful and handsome French men of Paris," he defended himself while munching on his food in irritation.I shrugged and sipped on my coffee. "Just because this is the city of love, doesn't mean it'll be easy to find yourself a love. The locals are very rude. But anyway, good luck to that. Any plans for today?"He just shook his head. "Nope. Just hangout here and maybe take

SIRIUSSighing, I stepped back in defeat and motioned for her to come inside with me. I would gladly tell her about whatever happened that day instead of letting her find out everything on the internet. I wouldn't allow that!For sure, any article or post she would come across the internet have been revised a thousand times to villainize me more! And besides, I wouldn't want to risk her mental health right now. I could clearly see how she's slowly recovering from the mess that she's been a few weeks ago. Putting her on the internet again would risk everything!"I'll tell you what happened, Astra. Everything. In one condition," my eyes squinted strictly at her. "Delete the app and never open it again. We both know exposing you on the internet isn't really good for you."She sighed shortly and nodded to my request. "Fine. I just got... really curious. But if you're not ready to talk about it, I understand. I just want to have an idea or a single clue on how and why are you this free?"I

SIRIUS (part 2)The video she filmed immediately circulated around the internet. And my chance to clear her accusations lessened because on that particular day, as if everything was planned out, the surveilance camera of the lift was broken.To make it worse, there were also stupid threads online, which is obviously made up by a hater, that garnered so much interactions and attentions after that woman accused me of stupid things! It's been posted for days but only resurfaced as if to support the woman's claims agaisnt me.And now... the whole world thinks I am a sexual predator. That I'm harrasing beautiful women for pictures and autograph. I wanted to puke and scream! I am fucking gay! I could never be attracted to women! Fuck it!It once crossed my mind to just confessed and come out of the closet, thinking it would somehow solve everything. But Johnny strictly told me it would only make everything worse. I was investigated. And during those times, I knew back then that the investi

ASTRAI haven't heard back from Sirius since last night after the heavy revelation he just told me about his life. It's fine, though. If he needs some space and more cuddles from his bed, I totally understand. However, I felt a little lonely having to eat my lunch alone today. I texted him an hour ago asking if he'd like to join me for lunch but I haven't heard back a reply. But as I've said, it's fine.I rolled my eyes inwardly before shoving a spoonful in my mouth, eyeing the sweet couple across me with bitterness. Why did I even leave my hotel room to dine out when I could've just called for a room service? Ah, right! I'm fucking bored! I think I'm gonna lose my mind if I won't see a new surrounding. The four corners of my room is beginning to dull me out!"Hi!" My head snapped up when I heard a voice greeted me. A man, standing six foot tall, wearing a formal suit, was standing beside my table while carrying a cup of iced coffee. He was smiling and he looked friendly. I smiled

ASTRA (part 2)I thought it'll be a very bitter lunch for me. But surprisingly, Lee arrived to entertain my lonely afternoon. We talk some more and even exchanged numbers to meet up next time. It was a nearby restaurant from our area so we just walked our way home. He even walked me till the entrance of the hotel building, where I found Sirius who just emerged out of the elevator.I smiled widely and waved at him. He quickly found me and walked his way to me. He was unsmiling and serious as his eyes darted to the man beside me. I giggled and looked at Lee who also glanced at me with a curious expression."You have a... boyfriend?" Lee asked and I chuckled, shaking my head."Oh, no! That's Sirius, a close friend of mine.""Astra."I looked away from Lee and found my friend already nearing us, the serious and cold expression never leaving his face."Sirius!" I greeted, hitting him playfully on the arm. "You're not answering to my texts! I just went out for lunch and met Lee in the rest

SIRIUS"Girl, how is Paris? I hope you're doing great out there?" Johnny's high pitched voice greeted me as soon as I picked up his call early in the morning. I wasn't even out of bed just yet but since this is his first call since I arrived in here, I answered without hesitation despite the sleepiness."It's seven-twenty in the morning, bitch." I answered groggily, scratching my eyes to shoo away the remaining sleep in my system. "I'm good. How's the investigation going on?"Johnny sneered. "Good morning! But anyway, l haven't heard back from the investigator you hired so let's talk about something else for the mean time. How's the French guys?""Tss! Slut!" I exclaimed, sitting up on my bed, laughing softly at my best friend's playfulness. "Cute and boring. Not interested.""Unbelievable!" I could imagine him scowling from the other line. "You're far away and very free to express yourself, bestie! Go ahead and whore around!""For your information Johnny, I'm in the middle of crisis

ASTRA"What was that, Ma'am? I don't think I clearly heard you?" I asked in utter amusement, my attention now being divided between him and my phone, where I'm currently texting with Lee to continue our getting to know well stage.Sirius shrugged on his seat. "I don't know, just a random thought. I'm afraid we'll get bored out of Paris in a while so why not travel to another place? Use this opportunity to explore and see the world?""Hmm..." I thought of it for a moment as he continued eating in front of me, occasionally giving my phone a hard glare. That's actually a nice idea. And he's right, somehow. I've been staying here for a while now and I'd soon get bored and look for a brand new surrounding. "Okay!" I agreed later on. "But you just got here, Sirius. Let's tour you around Paris first before we fly to another place. Where do you suggest we go next?""London, perhaps? I've only been there once for a photoshoot so I wasn't able to look around. Let's stay for another three days
Loving Jupiter STBS: chap 25
SIRIUSI browsed through the photos I took on the camera hanging around my neck and smiled in satisfaction. Astra is naturally friendly in cameras and no wonder why she’s not only a successful actress, but a highly demanded model as well. And I… maybe I will excel in photography if I manage to find the time to focus in this new found hobby.I turned off the camera and decided to approach Astra who’s staring at a huge classical painting hanging on the great white wall of the museum. She smiled at me and clung on my arm, and I frowned. I didn’t realize how fucking clingy this woman is before I offered friendship to her.She’s constantly messaging me. Updating me with whatever is happening to her as if I asked about it. And even gets mad one time when I wasn’t able to update her earlier about my supposed canceled visit.But somehow, I understand and couldn’t blame. She never had any friend her whole life. I know ‘cause we were schoolmates back then. She’s a loner and eats by herself at t
