Apparently, his. - ALESSIO SCALZOTTO

CH. 04

"Hey Luna?"

"What is it, Alessio?"

"How do you say butterfly in Spanish?"He asks throwing his long legs on my lap

"Go on google translate, duh."I say as I stuff a handful of chips in my mouth

"I wanna hear you say it, it gives more of a real ness to it."He remarked and I turn my head to him as Eleven runs from the van from her sister

We were binge watching Stanger things since we had already watched basically everything on Netflix.

"Why do you wanna know?"I inquired raising an eyebrow at him

"You absolutely love them, obviously. You have some type of obsession with them, I realized that when you raised like seven of them in a fish tank when we were like ten."He replies with a look in his eyes... admiration maybe.

"It's because of my mom, you know."I whisper and he immediately sits closer to me

"No, its okay. I still remember bits of her... But I mostly remember how she had... such an amazement with insects, butterflies especially."I began to smile at the memory of her with a butterfly slowly fluttering it's wings on the tip of her finger as my mom simply smiled.

God I missed her smile.

"She uhm... She was gonna name the baby Apodemia too. It's a type of butterfly that is exceptionally beautiful."I explained soon realizing I had stray tears falling down my cheeks.

"Mariposa."I mutter

"Huh?"

"In Spanish, Mariposa is butterfly."I say and he grins

"Well then, I guess I'll just have to call you, my Mariposa."He asserted while placing his head on top of mine

I grin at the memory of how Alessio began calling me Mariposa.

I had grown so use to it, that when he said my real name, it sounded so foreign in his mouth.

Get ready for tomorrow, Mariposa.

What the heck did that mean?

What in the world is Alessio planning?

I sigh as I decided to make a cover on "Too Young" by Sabrina Carpenter which actually felt all to close to home.

I had recorded and edited which had taken roughly about an hour and a half and once reviewing it I decided to post it on Youtube.

I suddenly heard my phone ring and I answer not checking the number.

"Luna speaking-"

"HOLY COW! YOU GUYS ARE DATING?! IT HAS BEEN ONE DAMN DAY AND YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY TOGETHER?!"Maddie screeches and I dash to my window

"What the hell are you talking about, Maddie?"I question and she scoffs

"Do not act like you don't know what I'm talking about, missy. You get a boyfriend and you dare to not even inform me?! YOUR BEST FRIEND!"She scowls and I frown

I throw a book at her window and watch as it falls down on the ground.

Eh, I'll pick that up later.

She appears at her window in no less than a nanosecond.

"I don't have a boyfriend, even if I did I sure as heck would've told you something was going on before we even began to date."I stated and she hangs up sliding her window up.
