Alex and I had been in a relationship for three years.  We met at a friends wedding, Angelina's to be specific.  Back then when I lived with my parents or lets just say guardians.

In that wedding he had been eying me during the whole event. His eyes were glued on me and he asked tobhave a dance with me while dancing with another gentleman who by the way wasn't gentle and couldn't keep his hands on himself.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. He tapped his shoulder then asked for a dance.  He was bout to say no buy wigh him being tall he towered over the poor guy , glared at him and tightened hus grip on ghe shoulder and just like that he was gone.

I let out a  heavy sigh thanking God for sending this man who had hus eyes on me the whole time realising how uncomfortable I was otherwise I would have slapped the madness out of him. Who told him that grabbing a lady's butt during a dance was okay.

As we kept dancing we introduced oursleves to eachother. But while dancing the strangeist thing happened. My heart was beating differently while I was lost in his midnight  blue piercing eyes. It felt different. It was nothing compared to what I've felt before. I was attracted to this man before me but it felt strange ans I liked it.

I studied his features as we swayed across the dance floor he had a nicely. He had a nicely shaped nose , tanned skin , thin cheeks that accentuated his smile and dark brown hair like black and his midnight  blue eyes that I drowned in the moment our eyes connected.

I wasn't sure if i would remember any of the  the things we said as we swayed on the dance floor but guess what , I still got the name and surname.

As  we bowed in dismay, ending our dance he quickly grabbed my hand and and led us to his chair where he'd left his tuxedo, and we exchanged contacts . I gave him my digits  and left.

Later that night I was thinking of the dyas events ans what had happened and I was grinning like the the furst time I was love struck bcak in high school.

I'd never fallen in love with a person at first sight. And he seemed to be struck by ghe same thing thing that sruck me, his features could tell it all .

As I was bluesing and out of this world my phone went off.  I checked and found an unknown number. Everything inside me taht ut was him and I picked up.

"Hello", I answered. Something felt like squeezing my throat.

"Hello, Guess who?", he asked in his deep and husky voice spending chills down my spine.

"Alex", I asked without hesitation.  It was his voice.

"Ummh yeah you guessed right", he sisd afete letting out a soft laugh. Wow wjat kind of person has that voice. Dewp, husky ans sounding angelic at the same time.  That's it I want to listen to this home more often.

While in the conversation I heard footsteps from upstairs amd I stood up nad made way for my bedroom.  I didn't want my Aunt asking me whi wa staht late at night or making assumptions already.

When I reached the stairs she was on hee last one and she gave me a shocked look and a smirk following.  She winked and a made a run up to my room so that she couldn't hear anything. 

I don't want her knowing anything  or getting any ideas fir son-in law's. Do you know who this Aunt I'm talking about is?

She's the person who's been my mother since I was little after my parents were brutally murdered infront of me . And she and my uncle Dennis took care of me  which makes me have a cousin which I consider to be my sister , Elizabeth.  Eliz in short.

"Hello", I heard but a luttel louder this time.

"Oh sorry about that ", I apologized.  If it  were someone else he would have dropped a long time . He's patient so yes, that's a tick . He's a keeper.

"So, did you enjoy your day ", he asked.  Did he just ignore that I wa ssilent for some time and popped another topic. I was stunned for a moment.

"I pretty much liked itthe wedding. Beautiful and I was happy for Angelina and her hus..John actually ".

"You're Angelina's friend?".

"High school friend actaully ".

"Wow. She's my cousin ", he said. Well ai guess the good looking genes run in the family .

"That's nice", I said and after a fuec second long silence I was talking again. Damn this mouth of mine has a mond of its own".

"Thanks for saving me today. You know, I was almost touched everywhere by that stranger and I didn't want to cuase a scene. I was yhere was a way to say thank you actually", I blabbed out without thinking.

"We could maybe go ...umm ".

*silence* *chuckles*

"Yes, I'm listening go where.. I'll go there.  Consider it paying for saving me".

"Not just me actually but-", I cut him off again. What is wrong with me.

"No buts, don't be shy talk and I'll do it . I owe you".

Make it be a date.

DATE!!!!

Ask me out already.  I know you want to.

*fingers crossed*.

"Can I take you out ", he said and let out a heavy sigh as if he's just dropped a box full of books.

Thank goodness. What took you so long.

"Yes", I let out a whisper like squel.

"What?", he asked he asked in disbelief. I guess he missed that.

"I said yes. Maybe we can . But it's a date", I emphasized. What is wrong with my mouth.

"Yes?". He answered confidently.  Then its done. It's a date.  He emphasized.  This man's voice is loke a drug why do I want to keep on wanting to listen to it. But sadly it was time for  good bye.

*yawn *.

I guess you're sleepy . Good night then we'll talk some other time ". My yawn must have told the whole story.

"Good night ".

After hearing the beep sound I placed my phone on the night stand , pulled my covers till the reached my neck and dized of in seconds.

    Jean was the first one to recover from her head injury. It was minor compared to what happened to Alex. His condition was worse. Far worse in such a way that eveyone had lost hope but she still stood firm and refused to accept that one day she would have to wake up and find him dead.I was difficult to accept that their love story would end like this. Something in her told her not to give up yet. And the very same thing kept her goingA whole week passed yet he still was unconscious. Life was at a stand still for everyone except for Jeans uncle who had to take care of the businesses.Her life was like a mess. She would spend most of the time at the hospital that at home. She still waited for this nightmare to be over.Everyone did. After Sam was sentenced with 50 yeras in jail for attempted murder, kidnappings and drug trafficking. Who could have know that the litt

How did I end up here I thought for a second. I don't understand how things came to this. My eyelids were closed shut. The smell of tablets, injections and all that mediacl clinical filled my nostrils and that's when it sank in. I must be in a hospital.I slowly opend my eyes only to be blinded by the light right above me. My eyes instantly snaped shut and slowly opened thereafter adjusting to the light.I heard the sound of beeping machines not so further than me. My face was covered by a breathing tube .Bringing up my ha

    I'm sure my heart was sbout to jump out of my chest right now. I swallowed hard but there was no siliva . My whole mouth was dry.Thank goodness I didn't have any beverages ealier in otherwise I would have peed on myslef right now. But that didn't matter I didn't care about me right now but my only prayers right now were for Alex.The was no assurance that I would get out of this alive. Maybe my prayers were the last thing I would be able to give him before the end of me.I flung both of my hands to his hand tightly gripping my neck. I took a deep breath as I felt the tightness in my chest. I couldn't breath and I could feel the pain in my lungs."You're hurting me ," I said trying to pull his arms and make the a little hit looser."Don't try act smart or this time I'll blow your brains.""Why don't you give up al

    My cheek stung in pain as a ping sound like some one had just hit metal against another in my ear echoed.Tears clouded my vision and I blinked them in . I didn't want to give him the satisfaction to seing me cry."Don't try to pull that litte act on my next time or else you'll pay dearly for it. Are we clear?"Silence "I asked if were clear or not?" He roared making goose bumps on my skin."Yes," I half whispered as my voice trembled."Good," he tightened his jaw. "Blind fold her," he ordered."No please don't." One man that had a scar cutting through his eyebrow. He took the black blind fold from the back of his pocket and did as told."Sam what have I ever done to you.""What have you done?

    After seeing Sam I was so much relieved. I scanned my surroundings while I was sitting on the chair. The room was dark and dust filled the air. The only light that came that illuminated was one from the small window with a big whole in the glass.Hearing his voice made me releaved. I don't know who this man was but waking up here wasn't in my place. For goodness sake I don't even know how I got here."Turn on the light," he told the man standing by the door. The moment the light brightens the whole riom I closed my eyes shut beacuse of the blinding lights. I slowly opened them adjusting to the light.He took a chair and sat before me. I tried moving but my hands were roped on the arms of the chair and each of my legs on the bottom of the chair."Sam What's going on. Why am I tied. You have to save me please.""Save you from what?" He seemed blank about this place just like I was."There's
