Mafia's Angel

8.

We ended up in the back side of the party. I felt someone followed us but I saw no one there.

My nerves have calmed down due to walking and Liam. Weird, why am I feeling safe with him?

He let go of my elbow. And pushed me. Both palms landed on the wall.

This is the Liam I know. The monster, Liam. All the confusion in my head vanished. Blood in my body boiled.
I turned to face Liam and suddenly he slammed both of his hands on the side of my head. Trapping me in between them.

His face comes closer to mine.
" What the fuck are you doing," I asked him.

"I told you not to embarrass me and my family in front of the whole fucking media, didn't I?" he whispered.

That sentence was enough to ignite the fire that burning me for so many years.

I stared back into his eyes moved a little closer to his ears and whispered back into his ears "Why? Is Mr I on the top of the world mafia man scared to lose his reputation?

I am fully aware of our proximity. Every inch of my body is touching his. I can feel his breath on my neck.

God, he still has the same effect on me as he had years ago.

I can't let him realize this.

      I moved back to stare again into his eyes just to see how pissed he is after I ruined his reputation. But his blue eyes are deprived of any anger.

        There is something else some weird emotion. I just couldn't put a finger on what it was.

     He covered it well before I could interpret it well.

     Does he still feel the same as I do after so many years? Do I have the same effects as he does on me?

     We lost ourselves in each other. I feel the infinity of emotion thrown at me with the speed of meteors and it's scattering me and my hate for him.

     How could he hold such innocent eyes and vicious hearts at the same time?

      In this moment I want to forget everything that happened and hug him. Just want this moment to never end.

     No angel you can't do this. He is the one who destroyed you. He is the cause of the Tsunami in your life.

    After living eternity in those few moments, I came back to reality.

"I believe in tit for tat, Liam" You broke me first now it's my turn to return the favor. I will make to regret every single thing you did to me. You ruined me, you ruined everything I ever loved and now you will watch as I set your world on fire.

      No, I won't cry I am not weak. I can't let him see that weak pathetic girl again.

     I don't even realize when a rebellious drop of tears falls.

     His palm makes contact with my left cheek.

     My heart skipped the beat.

" If you wanna destroy me go ahead. I wanna make me regret I won't make a single step to prevent you" he whispered.

"But not at the cost of you destroying yourself, angel. If you want to hate someone then hate me. But I won't let you ruin your life just to destroy me" he added.

"Why do care? Why do you care whether I ruin myself or not? If that day, you hadn't killed my brother then we wouldn't hate each other" I whispered back at him.

More tears start to pour out of these stupid sockets. I am not supposed to cry in front of my eternal enemy and then I fell on the ground.

"Why do you care?" I shouted this time. I am so glad we are alone. I don't want my anxiety to become the headlines of the media tomorrow.

"You caused all this pain. All agony, grief sadness every other emotion is suffocating me, making it harder to breathe" I whined.

No no, I don't know I can't have this anxiety attack now. With every passing minute, my breathing becomes heavier. I started seeing a black spot in my mind and everything became dark as a black hole.

I felt arms around my body. It's him.
