Come Love A Stranger

Alador placed Mariah gently on the bed and he sat beside her and smiled at the expectant look in her eyes, he tried listening to her thought but she was going over so many things in few seconds and he had to get himself out of there, it was like a beehive and he doesn’t think he would survive a minute in there, /"you really want to hear the story, our story?/"

/"Okay, but, first of all, I would like to apologize for what my mother did tonight, I want you to understand that she was only trying to protect me and as long as I live and breathe, I would not let any harm to befall you, Mariah, so I plead in her behalf, do forgive her, please./"

Mariah reached up and caressed his face, /"I would not lie to you, Alador, I was hurt when I heard that, I had thought she brought me there to save you, I didn’t know she used me as a bait to lure you out…/"
