Butterflies and stars
They called him star boy, and he was born on first month of year with two four and one zero. He was a lovely boy, now all grown up, but actually just a kid in a clothes of a man. Even he, himself, often didn’t believe in his own disguise.
It was Thursday, which felt like Tuesday when he was thinking about her again. Let’s talk about her now; she was butterfly girl, at least he called her so, it’s a stupid name, but we’ll use it for now. He knew her all his life, and all her life, sine they were almost the same age, with little insignificant difference (she was actually older, but he didn’t care). He didn’t noticed her, all his life, sure he saw her and know her name, but, never noticed her. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?
When he finally noticed her, he was kind of a old, and she was even older, but not too old, I (as a writer of this story) would say that they were at exactly the right age. She was not a kid anymore, but just a beautiful girl, such girl, which was noticed by many men. Men, of course, noticed her kind of differently than the star boy did; when they were looking her, they were undressing her, kissing her body and finally use her body as an object, into which they’ll go horny and came out happy.
“What a wonderful toy she would be”, they thought.
Some want her not just as a toy, but as a wife, they were saying, with their eyes:“I could made you happy!”
She was clever girl (or stupid, I’m not sure), so she understood, that all they want to do, is just made themselves happy, again she would be a toy, only this time, toy with more functions, and for whole life.
One some point, she meet someone, in whom eyes, she saw love (among other things), so she agreed to go out for a drink with him, and so the things go on, and she became an unmarried wife and loving toy in a life of a boy, who needed loving toy and who always wanted to marry with someone, without getting married.
The star boy, who didn’t saw her since childhood bump into her on that point, when she was luckily unmarried, a happy toy, in toy-boy’s life. He noticed her, and the way he noticed her, wasn’t with fire in his eyes, neither with idea of marriage, but rather with mist and secrets. He had no idea what he wants from her, and when he look into her eyes, he lost the thoughts and all was void. She catch his eyes and she didn’t noticed anything recognizable; she noticed in his eyes, only blurry images, I guess that’s why she was keep staring - trying to figure out something, to see something, but there was just mist, and she could conclude anything based on that.
But you as a reader now for sure thinking, how did they meet. I mean - you are person who live in a real world, you know that people don’t just meet and stare into each other’s eyes, without reason, that’s only in movies. So, they meet in store, there she was working, and there he go, to buy toothpaste with his last five euros - yes, that’s how it happened. Can you imagine - he put that toothpaste to the cashier and wanna pay it, and then he notice it’s she - the butterfly girl - and she, notice the boy, with blurry eyes in which she can’t see anything logical. And then, they’re just staring at each other, making an old lady with dog food, who was in line behind the boy, very impatient and nervous.
Well, that’s how it happened.
After he left, he was thinking a lot about her, well, not a lot, but occasionally, for sure. On March 12, he even had the first dreams about her - he dreamed, she was swimming in a lake - she was naked. He wanted to join her, but he didn’t wanted to take his clothes off, and, furthermore he remembered, he can’t swim at all. Right after that, he was on a train, which was leaving a city, very fast, and there was that lady with dog food too - she had dog with her - which was trying to bite him. Of course, after waking up, he didn’t know who the lady was, he though he dreamed about old lady with dog, but didn’t remember he saw her in store that day - with all that dog food, and rage in her eyes - no, no, all that he could remembered of that day, was butterfly girl, and all that matter of that dreams, was butterfly girl, naked.
Well, that made him brave, so he decided, he’ll go back to store, and so he did - on November 24. And, just his luck, he saw her again. — Before I continue, I must mention one thing - the star boy, he was odd, really - you’ll see, really odd. — So, he saw butterfly girl there, look into her eyes again, and saw, that there’s nothing. Her eyes, were ice cold, empty, blank - it was scary. So scary that he start running, - really running. Of course, you can imagine, the security personal in store was sure that the boy stole something, they run after him and catch him, - and it took a lot of time - to explain nothing was stolen, nothing, but his blurry and misty hope, the hope of something, even (or especially) he couldn’t understood at all.
The butterfly girl, thought, what a freaks coming to the store, freaks with mist in their eyes, who run away without a reason. She dreamed about him, though, and dreamed she was swimming in lake, naked, and he came, and saw her. She didn’t mind, she wanted him to join her, to see her - but he run away. Damn coward.
