Smitten By Leila

Leila's body stiffens as her ears pick up the name. "Ra- Raph..." Her mind could not say the name she heard.

Her eyes darted around in panic. She was sure her eyes had scanned through all the faces in the hall already, but she did not find him.

Maybe it was someone different, but it was the same surname.

It can't be him!

It shouldn't be him!

Leila's vision became dark. Panic drove into her body as her eyes darted around. The more she looked, the more she could no longer see the faces of the guests around.

She did not know whether it was the wine or her panic that was making her eyes sight dim. Her head felt light. Different memories came flooding into her mind.

"Your smile is devilish," a deep, husky male voice said 

"You taught me" her voice sounded in her head with a little giggle

"You're a good student"

"Raphael!"

Glass shattering.

"Leila" panic was laced in his voice
