Hi, my name is Ayallah, and I’m from Spain. I never thought my mom would try to control my love life, but boy was I in for a surprise!

Growing up, I was an only child and my parents owned the largest makeup company in the city. 

When I was five years old, my entire world turned upside down when my best friend, Andy, told Dad that he saw Mom kissing Mr. Johnson, the mailman. 

Dad was devastated. You see Dad was ill and I really thought Mom loved him. He kissed me goodbye, told me that he loved me and left for good. Mom has hated Andy ever since. 

Andy and I were inseparable even though Mom tried to keep us apart. We kept our friendship a secret and actually started dating in high school. Andy and I were in our last year of high school and I couldn't wait to leave home and go to college so Andy and I didn't have to sneak around.  But what Mom did next left me speechless.

"Ayallah, I invited Andy over for dinner. I think it's time we deal with unresolved issues”.

Before I could object Mom continued, "Now, go upstairs and freshen up. Throw on something nice." 

At 6:15 the doorbell rang. "Ayallah could you get that please?"

My mind raced and my stomach churned as I opened the door. Before me stood a slender, 6'2, black haired Godlike version of Jason Mamoa. He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
