Cuore Di Pietra || HEART OF STONE||

You And I

~°°°~

It takes grace
To suffer and face
The cruelties of life
That slice your heart
Ripping your soul apart
It takes strength
As you try to mend
The broken pieces of you
And stick them together
It takes tears
As the soul slowly bears
All the burdens fate laid
On your frail shoulders
It shouldn't have hurt
But still it does
You never get used
And the desire never quits
The desire for revenge
The desire to avenge

She who was jumping on her feet trying to get a better view at the tags of the books placed in the higher shelf halted and passed one last glare towards the rack turning towards the lower shelves that were reachable for her.
She tucked the loose strands behind her ears and leaned down pushing the glass pane to one side and began tracing her fingers on the names.

Her finger halted finding a science fiction novel of her favorite author. Sighing gratefully, she pulled out the book with a soft smile sliding the glass pane close. She straightened up walking towards the double doors deciding to take it down in the garden and read it there while basking in the sunlight.

Just when she was two steps away, the double doors snapped open revealing his tall frame that was clad in light blue turtle neck sweater with a white wool knee length cardigan over it left unbuttoned from front paired with dark blue jeans.
The wet hair strands fell loosely over his forehead almost reaching his eyebrows indicating that he had just taken a shower.
He looked so charming, Inaya stifled the urge to let 'Ma Shaa Allah' out aloud.

She sighed softly raising her head to meet his eyes as she gave him her pretty smile,
"Salam".

An extremely charming half smile invaded his lips pulling one corner upwards looking a little too perfect on his flawless face as he leaned back on the door crossing his ankles and folding his arms on his chest,
"Wasalam".

Inaya raised her hand pointing her thumb backwards towards the rack,
"Here to read books"?

With the half smile still intact on his lips, he nodded softly,
"I was".

Than his gaze swept down to the book in her hand,
"You're also reading the new arrival. Isn't it the same author you read last time"?
He returned his gaze back to her raising his arched brow smoothly.

Inaya nodded giggling softly,
"Yup it is. He is my moooost favorite science fiction author. He writes soooooo good. His books are awesome"!

He smiled at the excitement her tone held and the way her eyes glinted as she told him.

He nodded softly,
"Than I'll also have to give his books a try".

It excited Inaya even more as she looked at him with widened eyes,
"Really? Than you must because you're no way gonna regret it. I'll recommend you the best book and my all the time favorite".

His hazel orbs softened at her beaming smile as he spoke softly,
"I'll be glad if you do".

Inaya nodded as she fiddled with the cover of book as she gazed at him,
"Alright, I'll show it to you later. See you than".

She smiled softly lowering her gaze as she took steps about to walk past him but he beat her to it taking her by surprise as he immediately straightened up and raised his arm in front of her blocking the entrance.

Inaya halted in surprise and turned to look at his tall frame in sheer confusion.

Zaviar gave her a nervous smile as he spoke scratching the back of his ear,
"How about you... Ahem, sit here and read"?
He completed hesitantly.
