A Moment in Destiny

He shook the key in his hands and she blushed suddenly. It turned out she seemed to have forgotten it during their passionate kiss a while ago. In helplessness, she sat on the sofa again and he crouched in front of her.

His hands held her pale face full of tears. He smiled looking at her tear stained face, but this time there was no sarcasm, no haze, just pain. “You put on makeup!”

She was stunned. She closed her eyes and took a breath.

His eyes were fixed on her. His dark eyes like deep wells that made people fall in them and be trapped forever. Those eyes were full of deep affection.

“But wasted it all while crying like a little kitten.” He said softly, his tone fond.

She stared at him in a daze unable to believe him.

Then she said angrily, “I wanted to waste it!”

Her tone was full of resentment, anger and despair. She didn’t know that she looked like a little tantrum throwing child and yet, he raise head and looked at her, “Okay, you wanted to. You can do whatever you want.”

“What are you doing here again?” She pouted, feeling quite shy because of his soft tone.

“If I don’t come back, what if the bad guys broke in tonight?” He raised his eyebrow. “Maybe someone already took the key and made a copy. They can just open the door and come in especially to harass a weak woman like you.”

“Yeah right!” Apart from him, no one was going to come to harass her.

“Sherry, don’t make me leave, okay? I am really tired!” He looked at her. Only by looking at her could he calm his heart.

His tone was pleading, causing her heart to ache.

She sniffed, wanting to cry. How could she tell him to leave when his eyes were red and he looked haggard and thin.

“Go, sleep.” She said.

“So, are you letting me stay?” his voice trembled, seemingly unable to believe it.

“You can leave after getting a good sleep.” She restrained her emotions and said lightly. Then she stood up and walked to the bathroom.

“How are you always so rational? Must you push me away?” William shouted desperately behind her.

“All I know is that you need to rest.” Sherry turned around and said in a breath, “How long have you not been resting properly?”

They stared at each other like this for a long time. William felt his heart was as desolate as a dessert in that moment, his eyes swollen and sore, as if he could not bear the weight of the world. “I don’t know!”

“Go to sleep.” She said.
