Butterfly Of Love

Valentina’s Pov

“Stronzo!” Was all I could say to the one I thought was my lover when he broke my heart on my birthday.

He took me out for my birthday and I left with broken heels, and a broken heart. My makeup was ruined when I left.

I ran and ran until I saw my house. I don’t even know how far I ran, I just ran till I saw my stepbrother’s (Axel) car in the driveway.

When I walked into the house, Axel was reading a book. He heard me walk in and he immediately noticed I was crying.

“What happened? Who caused you to cry? Wait, was it that asshole of a boyfriend?”

Him mentioning my ex-boyfriend caused me to cry even more.

He immediately shut up because he saw my reaction to him mentioning my ex. All he did was hug me and comfort me.

I went to get changed and then me and Axel watched romance movies and ate ice cream while we talked shit on my ex.

“He was stupid to breakup with you, and on your birthday? That is such a dicky move.”

“I know it was. He is such a faccia del cazzo!” I think I need to let off some steam. “Wanna go with me to let off steam?”

“Sure, how do you want to do it?”

“I don’t know.” I have to think of something. “I’m too lazy to think of something right now. We will go do it tomorrow after I think of something.”

“Ok, we will go tomorrow then”

I just thought of something but it’s a stupid idea so I won’t tell Axel about it. We could go to my ex’s work and make it so hard for him to work, but that’s more work on us and I’m too lazy to do that much work.

“We should go to a rage room tomorrow!”

“That’s a great idea Axel!”

“I know, I’m pretty smart.”

“You are so cocky Axel.” And we both started laughing. We watched more movies and ate more ice cream.

Our parents aren’t going to be home for another 3 months because they are on an expedition to Africa for 5 months. They have been gone for 2 months already.

It has been lonely without my dad and stepmom but Axel has been keeping me company and has been really overprotective since they have been gone.

I know that if I needed someone to talk to, I could talk to Axel. And he will always be the first person I go to if I need someone to talk to or to vent to.

I don’t know why but I feel a strong connection with Axel. It’s unlike anything I have ever felt before. I don’t know how to explain it, but it is a stronger connection than I have had with anyone else.

I started yawning a lot and my eyes started getting heavy.

I don’t remember going to bed but I just woke up in my bed. I don’t even remember falling asleep last night. I just know I am still exhausted.

When I went downstairs Axel was already downstairs cooking breakfast. And he was shirtless!

I don’t know why and I really wish someone could slap me right know for thinking this but he looks pretty good shirtless.

“Good morning Ax.” was all I could say with a smile.

“Good morning to you too Val” he responded with a smile.

He was cooking pancakes, my favorite. I don’t know why he is cooking them though. “Hey Ax, why are you cooking pancakes?”

“Because I know they are your favorite. Your dad told me before they left.”

Oh. All I could do was nod in response. My brain can’t focus with that hot, and sexy body. Why am I thinking this!

“Hey Ax are we still going to the rage room today?”

“Aw crap! I knew I was forgetting something. I’m sorry Val, I offered to work an extra shift at work today. It should be a slow day so we can probably text, I am so very sorry Val.” and with that apology he gave me a tight long hug.

Ok if this hug gets any longer than it already is, my brain might malfunction because of this hot body crushing mine. “Axel.”

“Yeah?”

“Your crushing me! Let go of me uou big lugnut!”

“Ok ok.” And he started laughing at me.

“I have to head out now Val, just let me get my shirt on and I will be on my way.” And with that he put his shirt on and,… kissed the top of my head before he walked out?!

Am I the only one or am I getting mixed signals here. We have been best friends since kindergarten and I have liked him since first grade. We are freshman now and I still like him the same amount, maybe even more.

I have always wondered if he liked me back or not. I always got mixed signals but I have also never told him that I like him.

Just when I was deep in my thoughts, my phone vibrated. It was a text from Axel.

Ax

Ax-Miss me already Val?

Val-In your dreams Axel

Ax-Can I give you a new nickname? I have called you Val since kindergarten😫

Val-Depends on what you are thinking

Ax-What about Butterfly? Do you like that?

Val-Yeah but why would you want to call me Butterfly?

Ax-Because you’ve got a colorful personality, it’s as colorful as a butterflies wings. And because I just saw a butterfly and it made me think of you

Val-Sure, that’s really sweet Ax🥹🥹🥹

Ax-Don’t get too mushy, it’s not too sweet. I’ll message you later. Bye Butterfly.

Awwwwww. That was so sweet of him. Now I really think he could have the chance of liking me.

I really hope he does like me back.
