Alpha and Omega
 

A few weeks ago

 
There's been a lot of criticism from his readers about the rumors of the movie adaptation of his novel. Most of the comments are looking forward to his decision about making it one. He began to think of it again since he thought that it wouldn't be bad if he gave it a try. 
 

Apollo and Cleo had already talked about this one. Cleo told him that he would support him in his decisions. He decided to meet the director, who's been sending emails to him. And when they met in the said place, Apollo didn't expect to see the person who's behind the emails.
 

It was Cleo's lover. Marco Juaquin Salvatore-one of the youngest film directors and also the only successor to Salvation Ent. He's the one who's sending him emails.

That's why, when they finally met, the meeting shocked Apollo, along with others. Marco was also shocked when he saw him. Who would have thought that the former ballet was the writer of a popular novel right now?
 

Cleo can't help but laugh about their reactions. 
 

Even if they knew each other, they proceeded to give a brief introduction to themselves. Apollo, the person behind the pseudonym Sunbeauvior, together with his manager, Cleo Aristotle Tan. And Marco Juaquin Salvatore, the famous film director. They discuss how the novel will be made into a movie and also sign a contract. The meeting didn't last long because he agreed with some suggestions. Apollo is sure that it will turn out a bit differently, but Marco assures him that it will not go that far from his novel. 
 

“Well then, I'm looking forward to working with you, Sunbeauvior,” Marco said, offering his hand for a handshake.
 

“Same here, Director,” Apollo said, accepting the handshake and smiling. 
 

The meeting finished, and all of them decided to leave. Apollo wore his facemask and bucket hat when they went out of the place. He doesn't want anyone to notice him for a moment since he just got into a dating rumor with the actor Astin Blaze Chand. There was a picture of him and the former figure skater walking in the mall. Astin was holding a paper bag, and he was eating his favorite ice cream while talking at the guy. 
 

It was a total misunderstanding because they were dragged there with their friends-Cleo and Marco to buy some clothes for the baby. It's good that Astin's company released a statement regarding the rumor. To make it clear from Astin's fans.

When they got home, he immediately prepared a lunch. He and Cleo were supposed to eat out, but Cleo was a bit sensitive to the smell of the food since he's pregnant. It's a good thing that his pheromones didn't smell that much because it might affect the child, if he's indeed. Also, he was able to go out and take care of Cleo while Marco was at work. 
 

“This really tastes good, Calli,” Cleo said, and he began to eat again. He's glad that Cleo is able to finish their food without getting nauseated because of the smell.
 

His daily routines didn't change. It's always like that 'til the day he wasn't able to get up because of extreme pain and excessive release of pheromones. His heat cycle just started, and it was more painful than his last heat. 
 

He was able to contact his brother and didn't let Cleo enter his room. His mother took care of him. He thought his heat would only last for 3 to 7 days, but it doesn't. He's been in pain for almost two weeks. There's no suppressants work, and only sleeping is his resort to temporarily relieve the pain.
