"For we are working in a material world, and I am a material girl!!"
She looked straight ahead and held his gaze. She quietly smirked and grinned sheepishly. He did not flinch. That move alone would typically disarm any man. She was not willing to let him win. Her ego and pride could not permit her. She prided herself in collecting men like she did diamonds. Any fake ones would be thrown back to the murk where they belonged. The genuine ones...those genuine babies would be preserved in mint condition and taken out when required by occasion. She never slept with them-the diamonds that is
. She swore she would not. But there were times that she would get lonely, and the more she toyed with the idea, the more enticing it became. And not just with diamonds.
But this one...this one was interesting. She mused as she got lost in those emerald green eyes. she almost dove in them head fast till she heard him hoarsely say, "Be careful Em, you may like me after all." That alone made her snap back to reality and manage to squeeze out a weak "You wish".
She had always been a wreck. Ever since she experienced the rush of freedom from her mother's house. She stepped into an emotionally abusive relationship and she never looked back. Despite the harm and disgrace that that man put her through, she always thought she was happy. She felt like she belonged, a need that she needed to fill so badly. And after that man, she had always given away pieces of herself to any guy that as much glanced her way. A horrific beating from an ex rudely woke her up to the bottomless pit of nothingness that she now called her life. And after this, she collected them like diamonds. And she used them to reflect the light from above into her bottomless pit of hate and contempt. She swore she would never get lost in their beauty, that she was just collecting them for insurance purposes. Until now.
