Chapter 1

She's been in the hospital in a week now and she already feeling better. It's already boring staying in the hospital for a day and she's getting annoyed that the doctor didn't agree to discharge her for further observation.

In the open window the wind blows through her beautiful face and the book in her hands flipping the pages that there is no end, she make a deep long sigh.

" Im bored...."

A knock on the door that wakes her up from reverie.

"Come in"

In the door is a man standing there, he is wearing a khaki pants, a polo shirt and cardigan in it and a pair of large spectacles in the bridge of his straight nose. I say he looks like a university professor and a timid one. One of the type of a guy she like but he is too cute for me.

"Who are you? Are you one of the doctors here?" I smile unknowingly of what was the reason he is here.

He froze from where he is standing and his eyes ran up from her exquisite face that shows a beautiful smile.

"Uh... I-- I read the post and I make myself an appointment." he said while stuttering.

"Hmm.....? What are you talking about? What post? What appointment?"

"I thought you are looking for a date to became your husband"

Huh? Her brows crease by what she heard by this man who is in the room right now. Why am I looking for a date? I didn't know about that maybe this man made a mistake.

"Are you sure? maybe you are mistaken."

What wrong with this women, how could I made a mistake it is clearly the room number and even the photo looks like her. She easily denied the fact that she is looking for a husband, is she making a joke in me? I even made an appointment today what the heck is happening, am I getting scammed but I didn't pay anything so I it's alright. He sigh I think I have to try my luck next time and right now I have to try that I am not mistaken at least. "I didn't made a mistake all the information is here, you are Ira Mclooney 26 years old, staying in room 1307 and currently recuperating and also you have a photo here that you are really staying here in the hospital."

"What the.... that is really me, where did you get the information."

He give me his phone on which where the post have made: Eyes here everyone! Help me find a date or a husband material by my shut in sister. She never goes out all she did is facing her computer and reading her super thick novels and I wonder if she knows the way to our house. She's a freelancer and good in cooking and baking, she can make a good wife... though. Don't worry her beauty is standard that can pass all of your preferences. Her name is Ira Mclooney 26 years old, staying in room 1307 and currently recuperating and also she have a photo here that she is staying here in the hospital. If you want to date her just private message me for the appointment.

What the.... what is my sister thinking, I don't have a boyfriend but posting it on the public it makes me look like I'm a desperate women looking of for guy. She really gives me this big problem, just you wait when I see you... How am l supposed to do with this man...she sigh.

She give his phone back to him...

"My sister posted this.... Um... how to say this... it's not that I'm looking for a guy and I know its weird that it looks like I'm desperately looking for a guy and uhm...." I can punch a person right now this is so awkward "since your already here I'd like to ask you a question, is it okay with you to date someone like me? I mean you know my sister posted something online and I do look like a desperate women."

"Yes, and I didn't thinks something like that, I think your sister is just worried about you."

Is that a sweet words to hook up some girls or a comforting words. What am I gonna do? What to say... uh... my head hurts.

"You see, I'm sickly and I stayed here in hospital for a week now and the doctor didn't agree to discharge me for further observation."

"It's okay, I can visit you here"

What? " And um... my job didn't pay that much and I'm just good in cooking and baking, as my sister said I'm a shut in person"

"So am I, being a University professor don't paid that much and I don't care if your a shut in I will help you see the outside world slowly and it is good to have a wife that is good in cooking."

I feel my face is getting hot, what is this man saying, a wife? is he really sure about this set up and he is really a professor huh... a small smile form in her lips.

"Oh!, Im sorry I didn't introduce myself by the way my name is William Nelson, sorry for the late introduction"

"It's okay" i waved my hand awkwardly

" I ask you first some odd question when the time you walk in the room, it is nice meeting you Professor Nelson" she extended her hand for a handshake.

"Me too, just call me William cause we are not in my workplace and I want you to comfortably talk to me and besides we are both adults so you don't have to be formal." he extended his hand and bring out a smile on his thin lips.

Wow he's too direct, is this man really a timid person... not all first impression gets you.

"Well then, you can call me Ira as well and uhm... I'm not good in making a conversation I hope you won't mind"

He look at those trembling innocent eyes and also her hands trembling making the pages of her book that almost crumpled by her strong grip. She's too nervous, she is not used too talking with stranger. She is really a shut in, there is lot of things to do so if she were going to be my wife but I think its worth it she is beautiful and innocent and her good points is her cooking skills she can make a good wife. And I don't have to worry if there a man would like to approach her I think she's a one man person, there is no need find any further is she the one.

"I see, I'd to ask like to ask you a question as well."

"What is it?"

"Are you willing to marry me?"

Huh? The eyes on her socket almost fell down because of shock, this man... wait I have to think clearly, we just met how dare he propose to me in a straight face, is he out of his mind. She calm down and compose herself.

"I think we are not familiar with each other yet and you are already proposing for marriage."

He walk towards her bed " your right we just met today but we can know each other while in marriage. We don't have to base how long the relationship are, you know there are a lot of couples that have a long period of relationship but in the end they broke up."

"You don't have to worry on anything I will take care of you and I need a wife to take care of me as well and for our future children."

Children? This man didn't miss to suprise me that made her shock all the time. If I have an illness in the heart I may dead by now. "How about love, you didn't said that you like me yet and we just met."

He sit on my bed and he tuck the hair that is falling from my face and he smiled "we can develop to like each other along the way as well as love, so are you willing to marry me."

He look up to her exquisite face, she is more beautiful if you see her up close with those flush and shy attitude of hers. Her smooth clean face that haven't smeared with beauty products, her clear as water innocent eyes, long curly eyelashes and her pink thin lips there is nothing you can wish for. He look at the book that she is reading and a small smile form from his lips.

"I see that you are reading Elizabeth Haydon's book I have a full series of that book if you want I can let you borrow it while you are still resting here in the hospital."

The intense stare of the man shook her up because of the full series of book that he had. I've been helplessly looking for that series of this book for about a month now. Her sister always nagging at her, of why is it that she makes a lot of effort just by looking at the book that is published for a long time ago and it is already out of stock in the market.

"Really?! You are my savior, I've been helplessly looking for it for about a month now. Can I really borrow them?" she excitedly grabbed his hands smiling while her eyes is sparkling with happiness.

He was taken aback by this women's action, he smile. This women is so in love with books, how can I let it pass this opportunity.

"Of course, with this start of our understanding with each other do you agree to my proposal."

"But..."

"I told you don't have to worry, we are going to start it slowly knowing each other and you won't regret marrying me."

In her head down she nod her head shyly, I hold her chin lightly and raise it up and look up to her clear eyes.

"I want you to said it in words so that I don't have to speculate your actions"

"Okay, I will marry you William."

She haven't compose herself from her sudden decision she made and sort out her feelings with this man and he suddenly kiss her lightly on the lips that shock her whole entire being. Then a falling of a box heard in the room that cut off her thinking and saw a man at the door.

"Shane..." she said in a whisper
