I am numb. I am conscious, but I can not move my body. I open my eyes and I am met with darkness.

What Time is it?

I remember the arrival of the paramedics in the house. They brought me to the hospital, but I don't know what Hospital. I am too far gone from the pain that I don't know what happened next.

I can gather that I am in a dark room and I don't know why I cannot move my body. I tried to speak but it is painful. A glass of water should be nice at this time.

Suddenly a door that I know exist, but I don't know where is located opened. The light in the hallway pass through the open door and I only saw the shadow of the person who entered the room. Is it a ghost? But it opens the door. Can a ghost touch some stuffs? Maybe this one.

I heard the door closes. As I hear its footsteps approaching me, so I ask whatever entity it is that entered my room.

"Are you a Human?" What? I need to be sure! You'll never know in this age!

A deep voice answered back. "Yes? Maybe? but some called my features out of this world if that counts."

The light suddenly opens, and I just close my eyes because like I mention earlier I can not really move my body so I can not cover my eyes with my arms. Let me tell you the light in this room is really bright. Even Edward Cullen will sparkle like a friggin God on how bright this light is.

I open my eyes slowly and right in front of me is an angel. He looks blurry at first but as the time pass by I can see the person in front of me clearly. Those grey-blue eyes are staring right into my soul.

"Am I dead?" I whispered.

The angel replied "Not on my watch Missy"

"Then why there is an angel in front of me?" I ask him once more.

"If I don't know you. I'll think that you are weird right now, but I know that is normal for you drugged or not." He smiled showing his dimples.

I just stare at his face. Memorizing every inch of it.

I heard the angel mutter" any minute now." Any minute of what?

Isn't funny that He has the same eyes as Gideon?

HOLD. THE. FUDGE. DOWN.

Grey- Blue eyes.

Dimples.

Black Hair.

Looks like an angel.

SHOOT. ME. DOWN.

Is there any SWATT nearby? Or I just want the ground to swallow me up again.

I close my eyes and I want them shut forever. Why is he here of all people? Is he a doctor now? For Fudge sake I call him an angel which is true but he doesn't need to know that! If I can cover my face with the blanket I already did it.

"Gideon?"

"yes?"

"Can you please cover my face with the blanket?"

I can hear him snickering. Bastard.

"May I ask Why?"

"Just do it! So, can I can recover my dignity even just for a little bit."

Unexpectedly he laughs, not a HA HA laugh. Its like a clutching-my-stomach- kind of laugh. I slowly move my head in his direction to look at his face. He has tears on his eyes from laughing.

"I can see that my embarrassment is making you happy."

He calmed down after a moment and he sits at my bedside.

"I am sorry for laughing." He apologizes with a solemn voice.

Who am I to deny his apology? A mere mortal?

"Apology accepted."

"Thank You"

Really? He thanks me for accepting his apology?

I still can't remember what happened so maybe Gideon can fill in the blanks.

"What Happened? Why are you here? Why I cannot move my body? And why am I in a hotel room?"

For a moment he looks like he is panicking but suddenly he looks determined.

He reach for my hand and starts playing with my fingers. Why is he doing this kind of stuffs? Does boss normally do this on his employees?

"Calm down Ella. I'll explain to you the shorter version. The hospital called me after you are brought here. I am your guardian sort of. You've undergone an emergency appendectomy because you have perforated appendix. You can not move your body right now because technically you are under spinal and general anesthesia. Since your appendix is already perforated the toxins or waste inside it spreads on your body. So, the doctor needs to clean your whole abdominal cavity to make sure that the abscess are removed because if not doing so infection might occur. And your operation should only take an hour and a half but since they double check everything it took them almost 3 hours and in the middle of the operation you became slightly conscious, so they put you on general anesthesia and inserting a tube on your trachea hence why your throat is sore. It is already 3am and the doctor told me by 4am you can start to feel your extremities slowly. Lastly this your Hospital room.The End"

I just look at him. The whole time that he is explaining he is looking at me straight in the eyes. I can not decipher the emotions that pass through in his eyes as he is retelling what happened to me.

"Wow. If that is the short version. I don't want to hear the longer version. There might be car chase or an explosion in the longer version."

Wait. Something doesn't add up.

"How come the hospital called you?"

"Remember the card that I gave you? I ask you to attach it to your ID right? That is my personal number."

I am not bothered that my appendix was removed. I don't even miss it. Har. Har. Ella. Har. Har.

The main idea in his statement is he gave me HIS.PERSONAL.NUMBER.

I feel honored, bothered, and excited at the same damn time.

He gave me his personal number. I still can't believe it. I remember he told me to call that number if there is an emergency. I don't know folks about you, but I am really touched right now.

"I am sorry Ella to intrude on your privacy. I didn't intend any harm when I gave you my number." Gideon is still apologizing. He is not looking at my face he is just looking at our entwined hands. Can't he understand if not for him I am still writhing in pain in my bed or else dead at the hospital hallway?"

"Gideon"

He stops playing on my hands and I know that I have his attention.

"I am grateful from all the things that you've done. There is no need to apologize."

He raises his head and I smile at him hoping that I am giving him my sincerest smile.

"And one thing Ella that you should know. For them to accommodate you faster and for them to allow me to sign the consent for your surgery. I told them that I am your- "He was cut off by the person knocking on my door. He run his hand through his hair from frustration maybe?

He stands up to see who is at the door. He opened it because I can hear some muffled voices.

With Gideon there is a man with a white coat on that I am assuming a doctor and a nurse at his side.

The doctor approached my bed and he presses a button that elevates my head in a 45-degree angle.

"Hi, I am Dr. Smith" He introduced himself.

"I am your surgeon. Thanks to your and his impeccable patience and composition in an emergency situation. He made the right decision."

If looks can kill the doctor is already dead. If Gideon's Eyes can emit laser beams Dr. Smith is already burnt.

Hold on a minute. Fiancé?

Fiancé?

The doctor beamed at my question

"yes. Mr. Rosen-Hower your Fiancé"

I looked at him behind the doctor and he has a sheepish look and just-say-yes-to-the-doctor face and in return I have a you-better-explain-yourself look.

I return my gaze to the doctor and smile at him.

"that is the reason I said yes to him. He is always compose in every situation. Right sweetheart?"

"Yes sweetheart." He replied

What is happening? If this is a dream this is damn good dream coz I just learned my Boss is my fiancé!
