' beautiful.'
The word left his mouth like the swift mastery of blade.
The slightest of his praises made her skin prick with goosebumps. It felt as if he was the only one who could make her feel this feeling of pride and pleasure and the feeling of her being beautiful , the only feeling she never felt.

Shyly, she moved her arms around her chest and covered it.

He poked his tongue in the inside of this mouth . His eyes then wandered around the bathroom and not her , his hunger was rising.

"Why do you always hurt me?"
She asked while she directly gazed into his eyes.

"Because you defy me ."
He said while looking into her eyes.

" You know , if you treat me like this , hurt me , physically and mentally... Do you think that I'll be able to live like this ...... With you?"
She asked with so much hurt in her voice , yet it sounded so calm and collected . The fact that she knew that she liked this guy and felt a strange pull towards him made her feel butterflies in her stomach when she would get a sight of him.

He was so into her eyes , he read emotions , they felt so true ...
Yet hurt.
Somewhere he knew, he couldn't do this to her , not him. He wouldn't hurt her , yet he did because his ego and arrogance got in the way of his bond that was more important.

The point ,
There's a difference in 'trying to gain respect and love' and
' working to gain respect and love.'

"I don't want to hurt you ."
He finally admitted.
" I just want you to myself. But you just don't want to give yourself to me."
He spoke as if he felt ashamed to admit it. And his head hung low as if trying not to meet her gaze.
But with what he said, she felt a little melody in her heart.
Moving her hands away from her chest, she moved her hands to his cheeks and made him look up ,into her eyes.

A small smile as she said,
" I- I would like-.... I want you to show me that you care , that you... Feel for me . Not only from here but also from there ."
She said as her hand first pointed out towards his head and them , her hand placed on his heart to feel his heartbeat.

A small giggle left her mouth as she looked up at him.
" I ready to accept being with you , but are you willing to accept not using me ? Abusing me? "
A little hope rose between her relationship with him.
And soon it lit up.

" I'm ready to do that ."
He said with a smile  .

"I'm sorry I hurt you , I just....
I don't have a habit of my demand not being fulfilled. I've been brought up in an environment , where I am treated like a king."
He said truthfully.

"You have to explain about this to me in a big paragraph. Okay?"
She asked with big eyes.

He nodded his head and soon came closer to her and knelt down on his knees and hugged her , embracing her , holding her as if covering her from the sights of this cruel world. She fit right in his arms , his arms covered her body as his hands gently held a handful of her smooth and silky hair and he burried his face in her neck suddenly giving her another tingle in her stomach.

" I think I'll never give you up."
