As per request in this chapter will be handling the green situation next, how will Butch get Buttercup to believe him and take him back and how will he handle the news that she give him about her dad? Well let's find out shall we. Thank you for all the reviews, you guys gives me the strength to keep writing. Please read and review.
Butch's POV
I've never had to work so hard for a girl, maybe that's why I love her so much BECAUSE I have to work for it. With other girls all I have to do is smile and they melt right into my arms but Buttercup, I would be lucky if I don't get a beating when I put her down.
"Butch put me down now!" she screamed
I was walking down the hall when I caught a glimpse of green and when I opened the door a little more I discovered that it was Buttercup's room. I never in my wildest dreams could have imaged that this was what her room looked like, it was green, very green and everything in there represented a part of who she was. In the corner next there was a punching bag with boxing gloves hanging from them, the floor was covered in discarded shirts, shorts and jeans, the wall was covered in pictures of her family and the only picture of her was a sketch. In the sketch she was standing alone in what looked like the back yard and the wind was blowing through her beautiful raven hair. It was such a beautiful picture then my mind raced back to a memory of Buttercup telling me that Bubbles is a great artist.
I put her down and prepared myself for a merciless attack from the strongest girl I've ever met, I was ready but...nothing. There was no yelling...no cursing and no punching me...
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her trying to pick up and emotion on her face but there was nothing, she just stood there with her arms folded, until she finally broke the silence by saying, "Well, what is it or did you come to ask me for help choosing a baby name?"
"Buttercup you don't understand", I tried to explain but she cut me off
"What don't I understand Butch, you are going to be a father!" she yelled furiously
"Maybe one day but only if you are the mother", I said managing my most charming voice
I would ever admit it but Buttercup scares me, it scares me how she never backs down, how she will never be bullied into doing anything she felt wasn't right for her and is always ready to defend herself and the ones she cares about. It scares me how she can go from being the toughest girl in the world to this gentle, caring vulnerable person in an instant. It scared me how quickly I fell in love with her and I know that I don't deserve to breath the same air she does but I am going to prove myself to be worthy of her.
"What in the blue hell are you talking about, you have a child on the way and here you are trying to make another one with me! You disgust me, now get out of my room, get out of my house and get out of my life!" she said trying to push me out of the door
"She is not pregnant!" I yelled before he could get me out of her room
"What did you say?" she looked confused and took a step back to think about what I had just said.
I took a deep breath and explained the whole situation to her, she looked like she was in deep thought and there was silence for what seemed like an eternity and then she spoke.
"Well congratulations, I'm sure that you are very happy about that", she said sounding as if she had lost all her anger but there was still something what wasn't right.
"Now we can be together Butterbabe", I said enthusiastically taking a step in her direction
"So you think just because that girl isn't pregnant that we are gonna ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after?" she asked and I could tell that she was getting mad
"Uhm, well I was hoping that we could talk and..." she interrupted me and the next thing I knew she was lunging at me trying to punch me in the face, it's a good thing I knew how to fight or otherwise I would have been toast.
While she was throwing punches at me she was saying something.
"You...think that...just because...you're ex...isn't pregnant..that...I will...take...you back?. You selfish...arrogant...vain...asshole!" huffed in between punches. Then she added kicks so not only was she trying to punch me but she was trying to kick me.
My suspicions were confirmed right there and then, something was wrong. Buttercup was a great fighter and she never missed, well when she was trying to hit me and she won't tell me unless I make her even angrier.
"Come on Buttercup, we both know the only reason that you and you sisters left the competition was because you were mad at Me.", I said trying to make her angrier.
My plan work because she kicked me right in the face, after I fell to the ground she waited for me to get up before resuming her attack once again.
"How self centred can you be Butch?" she asked while hitting my chest. "My sisters and I dropped out of the competition because..." she was getting emotional and her punches began to soften
"Because of what Buttercup...you guys were afraid you couldn't handle everything...because you didn't want to win anymore...WHAT?!" I demanded
"BECAUSE OUR DAD DIED!" she finally screamed with tears rolling down her face as she kept punching me.
"It's not fair Butch...why him...why us?" she said as she stopped punching me and fell into my arms and cried
I held her until she calmed down and then she started telling me about how her dad died and the inheritance he left for them. After she told me the story she looked at me and said, "Wanna know what the worst part is?"
"What?" I asked curiously
"Our mother didn't even care enough to come to his funeral", she said tears still rolling down her cheeks
"Maybe she didn't know", I said trying to comfort her
"If she hadn't left she would have know, I mean what kind of mother does that, leaves her 4 daughters and husband...and for what...because I don't know, dad never told us why she left", she said as her tone changed from angry to hurt
There was silence in the room for a little while and in that time I couldn't help but think how nice this was, that she was opening up to me like this while I was holding her in my arms and comforting her.
"So what are you guys going to do now because the competition is over and Ladies of the Night won", I asked breaking the silence.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Bet you think that I'm a weak, pathetic wimp now"
"Butterbabe, that's not what I think at all", I started but she walked away from my embrace and sat on the bed
I joined her on her bed and she was shaking when I tried to hold her.
"Why did you ever come here", she asked not looking at me
"I came here because for the past 3 years of my life I've been "Butch the bad ass player of the RRB", I've been jumping from one girl to the next because I can, I've done so many things that I am ashamed of to people who didn't deserve it and just when I thought that I would never find someone who understands why I get so hostile sometimes, someone who understands how my mind works and who understands my temper and not only that, who also shares those very same qualities with me. I came here because all my life I've been emotionally starved and when I met you and got to know you better, my hunger slowly disappeared and I realised what I've been missing all my life. I've been missing my other half, my soul mate, my counterpart whatever you wanna call it, that's what I've been missing. Buttercup you are extremely frustrating and moody and short tempered but those are some of the things I love most about you. Your also sweet and caring and really smart. I'm here because when you left, you took my heart with you and I kinda need it back, but only if you come back with it. Buttercup I love you and don't you ever leave me again or I swear I'm going to put a tracking device in your teeth and find you", I said, being honest with not only her but with myself for the first time in a long time.
She looked at me for quite some time then looked down, she hadn't said a word to me at all and I was freaking out because this was the first time in my life that I have ever offered my heart to someone and I was afraid that she would break it.
She was quite for a very long time and I didn't wanna say anything or push her for a response and finally she looked up at me, smiled and said, "You could have just said that you love me and not go on about all that, that was 10 minutes of my life that I am never going to get back"
"Hey, well excuse me for trying to be romantic and pouring my heart out to you", I said grinning like an idiot
"Yeah you need to clean up all that mush and lovey dovey stuff off my floor, I don't need Butch stains in my room", she said sarcastically
I smiled and she leaned in so that I can put my arm around her and she whispered in my ear, ever so softly, "I love you too"
