At the bottom of the sea

"How deep should I sink her body into the water so to avoid her accusing glance? I thought it could be easy and that my business was over. I thought that the stabs at her back were enough for her to stop breathing and to stop mocking at me."
The girl's corp, white as blanket, was lying on the beach. Heer lips were violet and her eyes kept wide open as ever before. Her frosty look seemed as if surprised but horrified at the same time.
Jeremy and Lilian had met in the Prep and since then, they had been going out. As many couples, they were happy and enjoyed their relationship the most. They liked doing the same things, the same activities and freetime activities. Anyone who had the chance to met them would say they were bread and butter,
But also, the couple had their days during which it was better not to notice their respective moods; specially Jeremy who was a really jelous man. He hated the way boys in town looked at Lilian when they went out to any place whether to a pub or to a church.
Lilian was a possesive but patient person. Her charms caught the attention to anyone who had the pleasure to met her. Though beautiful as she was, she did not pay to much attention to the men's compliments she quite often received in the streets. She just nodded her head and continue her path.
Once in a familiar party, Jeremy's cousin invited her to dance tango. Jeremy relatives began saying:"Hey jeremy, be careful", "Tim is dangerous". They all laughed and kept saying the same throughout the night. Yet, he ended up to be disgusted by the stupid jokes. The party came to an end and the young couple departed to their department.
Jeremy was driving the car. There was a perpetual silence, no conversation at all. Suddenly, she asked if something bother him since hed did not speak since they started driving. He did not answer. Jeremy kept driving the car but in direction to a road leading to the coast.
-"Sweetheart, where are we going?"
-"I want to have a word with you, may I?", he pointed out.
- "Yes, sure" anwered Lilian smiling gently thinking about herboyfriend's lack of self-confidence. She knew he was bothered by the "incident" at the party, but this was usual among them.
The car stopped. they decided to talk in the sandy coast. However it was a romantic view, the chat grew from an asking for an explanation to a fierce quarrel.
-"You like people look at you, don't you?. And now my own relatives mocked at me because of your continuous flirting!"
-"Jeremy, honey, what are you talking about?"Lilian did not even finish saying this when he took the knife he had hidden in his jeans after cutting the cake in the party.
He stabbed it on her thirteen times.
Nobody heard the screams in that sandy paradise, on the beach coast.
