60 Ism not finished! (1/2)

”This is our first date after a long, long time. But look at you! You look like a Demon king, you don't love me at all! I'm so sad, now”.

Ren said with a distant look and indifferent voice, ”Oh?” Ria lifted her face and looked at him with big sparkling puppy eyes. But Ren looked at her like he was in rage and pulled her closer by holding her waist.

He said in a cold and domineering voice, ”Last time I remembered you liked... no... you loved this Demon king. Looks like you prefer flower boy instead”.

Without thinking anything Ria smiled instinctively and she inched in. Her breath was on his lips as she looked into his eyes and said, ”Are you jealous, Chérie?” Ren raised his right hand and pinched Ria's cheeks tightly as his lips moved, ”You think you have the leisure to ask that question?”

Ria started to shout, ”You idiot! Take your hand off my face. I spent an hour with this make up. I didn't even take a selfie!” For a second, Ren's lips curled up. He shook his head and let out a sigh as he abided her words. Then he looked away from her.

Ria slightly kneaded her cheeks as she felt the pain dissipate. After some silence and Ren refusing to look at her, she held his chin and made him look at her. She felt a sharp pin in her chest as she asked him, ”Don't you trust me, Ren?”

Ren's pupil contracted and he looked at her with atmost anger. He sneered through his teeth, ”What do you want me to reply to that, Ria?” She literally shivered from his tone and the way he looked at her. Her eyes started to well up.

Ren felt how much she was afraid of him now, he closed his eyes briefly. When he opened again, Ria was on the brink of crying out loud. His eyes still had the anger but not as distant as before. He pinched and pulled Ria's cheeks on bothside.

He said in a little pleading and little worried tone, ”Don't cry over everything..... It was never about trust, Anna. Why do you always dwell on that topic, I don't understand. If I didn't trust you why would I fall for you in the first place. It is just that, you let your guard down with anyone who speaks nicely to you or treat you well at first. Then later they stab on your back, before you even realise what is happening”.

His voice raised as he continued speaking, ”And you had the nerve to talk to me about trust ah? You left me alone for three years without a word. Then you reappeared again without a word, along with two kids who are supposedly my flesh and blood. If you never came back, I would never knew they existed in the first place.

And this guy who knows you for the three years I never knew where you were, suddenly agreed for the partnership which was to be discussed next month. He says that he courted you looking straight at my eyes and I comforted him not knowing that girl was you. I feel so stupid”.
