Self-love (Jjba Fanfic)

14

As I walk off into the night I look up to the stars with a soft smile, I finally feel at peace.

That is until someone taps me on the shoulder causing me to react quickly. I donkey kick them in the stomach  and go to restrain them in a head hold with my one good arm, although I expected it to be speedwagon I'm surprised to see a skinny, curly dark haired boy with blue green eyes. I let them go with a push and apologize, "its alright! It's my fault for approaching a beautiful young lady in the dark...but I couldn't help but want to talk to you" he said sheepishly as he got up. 

"My names Antonio ciancarelli! Might I know la Bella ragazzas name?" He says flirtingly while wiggling his eyebrows. I chuckle at his flirt and extend my hand out, "my name is Aaliyah Mangual, nice to meet you Antonio" I say softly. He takes my hand and just as I'm about to help him up, he kisses my hand tenderly. I flush at the action and snatch my hand back, "a-anyways..what are you doing out here so late?" I ask to distract myself from the awkward feeling I'm getting.

He chuckles and gets up dusting the dirt off him, "on a stroll to clear my mind so I can sleep, and you mi amore?"

"Amore? Don't you mean amor?" I ask while feeling the flush that faded from before start to crawl back. He shakes his head, "no its amore...I'm Italian" he says as he takes a closer look at me "Come to think of it...you don't look like your from around here."

I feel nervous thinking he is going to lash out at me, it must of shown because he instantly drops it "hey! No need to get nervous...I'm not one to judge where anyone came from". I felt abit relieved from that, "I'm originally from Puerto Rico... it's a Caribbean island that the people mostly speak Spanish." I answer shyly.

"Wow...that's so cool!! Our languages are pretty similar you know" he says excitedly as he grabs my hand. As I make eye contact it felt like time froze, all we could do is stare into each other's eyes. He looked so handsome in moonlight, his pale skin and vibrant eyes seemed heavenly. I felt my face heat up as I realized I've been staring alittle to closely; pulling away I hid my face from him. 

"You don't have to hide from me..." he says softly as isee him from the corner of my eyes also with abit of color warming his face up. Just as I go to say something I hear someone call my name, "AALIYAH WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?!".

Speedwagon as impeccable timing as usual I mentally sigh as I shout back to him my location. I look over to Antonio who smiles at me, "so I guess this is goodbye?" He asks.

"How about a see you soon?" I replied as I run off to find speedwagon.

Once I catch up to him I get scolded for wandering around the woods so late. "Yes father~" I whined out causing the blonde to blush heavily, "I'm not your father!!" He shouts. "I'm teasing you you handsome chuckaboo" I chuckled out "you ready to go home and rest?".

He only nods and takes me by the arm, we began to make our way to my temporary home.

[Time skip]

The next morning I woke up abit earlier then speedwagon to head to the joestar manor, or at least what remains of it. Instead of my usual trousers and button up..I decided to wear a loose and plain long-sleeved gown with black boots and my new messenger bag; I also left my hair down for once letting the curls bounce freely.

After leaving the sleeping blonde a note, I left to the manor that was a good walk away. Humming a simple tune, I took in the fresh air and warm sun. My thoughts roamed from the weird man I met last night, he was very playful yet.. sincere in his own way. A light color dusted my cheeks as I thought about the moment he kissed my hand...sure others have kissed it but his kiss Sent pleasant shivers down my spine.

I'm pulls put of my thoughts as I see the burnt remains of the manor just up ahead. I shake my head of these thoughts and rush over to the rubble, carefully moving the charred wood away looking for two things. The first I find easily, a safe that remained intacted; after putting in the combination I open it to see papers and a very familiar black and gold box. I carefully empty the safe into my bag and take the box out by the handle, if anything happened to my box I'd probably never mentally recover. Just before I can get up to search for the other item I hear a familiar voice call out to me, "you there! What do you think your doing!" A male voice called out to me.

As I turned around I see jojo and erina standing just before the ruins looking out to me. Erina seems to recognize me easily despite my new clothing and hair down as she waves to me excitedly, meanwhile jojo looks at me confused. I walk over to the pair slowly to not trip and hurt myself, even holding up my skirt abit. Slowly but surely the blue haired male seems to put the pieces together, "aaliyah? is that you?" He asked in disbelief looking at me like I was a random cat coming up to him.

"Yes yes its me jojo" I wave off his shock as finally stand a few feet in front of them "and what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be healing in bed?" I scold him. It's a very difficult task to scold a man who is a whole foot taller then you but I didn't back down, "also erina I told you to take it easy too! Your hands still haven't recovered from the soaking wet rag you handled!".

Erina pouted at me like a child while Johnathan still gawked at me. I raised a brow at his behavior, "I decided to change my style for today if that's what your wondering" I explained as I began to walk past them "I'll leave you two be then".

Just as I passed jojo I felt him grab my hand, I stopped and looked at him curiously. He had a look of disbelief on his his face as he looked at our hands touching, "jojo?" I asked in a concerned tone.

Whatever trance he was in he seemed to snap out of from hearing my concern, "sorry...I just wanted to spend time with you today. I hope you don't mind" .

I internally sigh at the male, and give the two a soft smile. "OK jojo, I'll spend time with you and erina in a bit. I'd like to drop this off at my house." I answered holding up my beautiful box. "Oh! And before I forget I wanted to let you know while your recovering ill handle everything  for you regarding the manor and Mr joestars funeral" I say motioning to my messenger bag.

He gives a small smile and thanks me, "let us walk with you back to your home...I'm sure it's on the way to the hospital ward".

"Sure but if you need a break let me or erina know. Your body is about as good as an old mans~" I tease as I turn back to the road "shall we?"
