Chapter Three

George sat down at his table with his ale before him. He was looking into his cup thinking about a girl. Not just any girl, though, his girl. He smiled at this thought. Alanna did not know it, but she was his. It was just a matter of time. He would wait for her, however. Just then a familiar face entered the room.

"What brings you here?" he asked her with a tilting smile on his face.

She returned it in kind. Just then, George noticed the redness of her eyes. He knew that she had been crying. His eyes looked into hers with understanding. She shook her head as to say that she did not want to talk about it. He smiled at her and looked at a chair, which he pulled out for her. She plopped down on it.

He offered her a cup of ale, as he usually did. She was going to turn it down like she usually did, but she changed her mind and gladly accepted it. As she took a large gulp of the liquor, she shivered at the sensation of the strong ale traveling down her throat. Forcing more of the drink down her throat, she started telling George her story, from the beginning.

As she talked, George kept on refilling her cup. Unknowingly, she downed several cups of this drink. Once the dizziness started to occur within her, she knew that something was wrong, but for some reason she could not think straight. Her vision was blurry, and she hiccuped several times.

'What's wrong with me?' she wondered, trying to think through what had happened, but finding it strangely hard. All she really wanted to do at that moment was crawl into a little corner and fall asleep, but the room felt so unbearably hot. As she tried to stand, she started to sway and would have toppled over onto the ground had George not been there to catch her.

She looked into his eyes as he held her, and found a passion there that was so consuming that she could not make herself look away. Instead, she fell deeper into his eyes, losing herself. Without even realizing it, she inched closer to him, and he leaned in. Their lips met in a brief but passionate kiss. Unknown to them, an angry figure stood watching them by the door.

A/N: Sorry, I know that this was short. Anonymous Geek would like to know that she wrote most of this chapter.
