"How could you do this to me?! I trusted you! You arrogant, selfish, asshole!!" I shouted with teary eyes and sadness in my voice. I looked at his face and was covered with nothing else but anger. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me roughly against his body. That's when he crushed his lips to mine. His kiss was urgent, claiming, rough. His lips claimed mine with anger as he was like punishing me for what I said. No! That's when I snapped. I pushed him away and started hitting him in his hard chest. He leaned his forehead against mine still holding me tight like he's was afraid of letting me go. He let out a breath and signed. "I couldn't.. I..just..did" he blurted out without looking me in the eyes with pain in his voice the heartbreaking, unforgiven truth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angel is the definition of the 'girl-next-door'.
