What would Maria do to annoy Matthew?

EXT NIGHT. Maria stands outside lorong 14 holding a lighted cigarette. It was a bad day for business. The rain hasn’t stopped for 2 hours. She walks by the sheltered shop houses looking for a customer. She sees matthew sitting by the corner shop. She approaches and sits next to him. Despite the hardcore metal image Matthew portrays, he is secretly a homosexual. Maria puts her right arm around him with her left hand still holding the cigarette. “Short time…” In shock and disgust, Matthew pushes away her arm. Maria insists on the cheap quickie and even offers a discount. Already standing up, Matthew points his middle finger to the cheap hooker and dashes off. Maria was fuming. She hastened behind Matthew and stubs out her cigarrete on his neck. Matthew screams and turns to grab his neck. He struggles to punch her. Maria runs away. She was soon stopped by Matt’s boyfriend on the other end of the sheltered shophouse and punches her in the face. Maria drops and takes off her shoe. She swings the heel to his eye and keeps stabbing it until the eyeball comes off and stuck to the heel. She then lighted another cigarette and dropped the ashes into his eye socket. Matt quietly approached behind her and slammed a wooden plank onto Maria’s neck. She passes out.

    Your physical descriptions and insights into the characters are too brief and not specific enough to make them interesting or engaging to be used in a story – I cannot visualize them in my head also.
