tattered hopes

Mariza closed her eyes and gasped. She'd never been this much close to anyone. Valz looked at her with a hint of anger and disdain but there was also a different emotion which was masked by all this hatred. It was desire.

Isn't this what I wanted? She thought to herself,Valz to be with her but why did it seem wrong? Mariza had never in a millions thought that Valz would even cast an eye on her. She was just like dust to him. She pushed away Valz, " Actually, what a fool i was for caring for you, you're a piece of shit"

Valz adjusted his expensive tie and his face remained expressionless. It seemed like this man was different from the man who was a minute ago passionately looking at her. Mariza couldn't even look into his eyes and started to grab her purse from the floor but Valz squatted down in front of her face .Mariza started to shiver whether it was due to his closeness or fear,she couldn't decide. He clutched her chin in order to force her to look into his eyes and his eyes were flaring red. He said in a husky tone ''Stay away from me"

Mariza couldn't recall if she had done something wrong in order for him to be infuriated but she didn't even say anything to make him that much furious. Mariza looked into his eyes gently and asked in a low voice which was similar to a squeak ''Did I do something wrong?'' her voice was pure innocence. Valz's eyes dimmed lightly and he said in an angry voice ''What part of 'I hate you' you don't understand? Stop with this innocent pretence''

The fingers which were clutching her chin became more tight and his eyes had painful glint. She wanted him to share everything with her but Valz never let anyone in. It seemed like his hold on her chin would definitely leave a bruise.

She had this hope that one day Valz would fess up something about his life. She narrowed her eyes and promised to herself that she would never become a doormat for Valz though.
