4 Is this a Joke?!

My ears might be clogged with all my thoughts —no sane person would ask for a person's hand in marriage on the day of their first meeting? Right?

But his perfectly sculptured face held no linger of mischief. His haunting green eyes staring right back at me like he was staring right through my soul. Then suddenly everything became pitch black. The weight of my body hitting the floor while panicked calling of my name ringed through the walls.

When my eyes opened again, blinding light greeted me. Feeling something heavy on my arm, I turned to my left and saw a sleeping Lorenzo facing down on the side of the bed. I moved my eyes along the room searching for my purse and a glass of water. I need to call my PA. The movement of the blanket might have awakened Lorenzo from his slumber resulting for his head to rise right up and his eyes automatically locking into me and the relief in his eyes being very evident. "Why am I here? Did I pass out? I'm so sorry for the incon—," I started to ramble.

"You are never an inconvenient to me. I presume you haven't eaten yet before our meeting? I can call my driver for food, what do you want? Do you need the doctor?The doctor said that you passed out because of stress and hunger, so you must eat regularly and make sure to take your supplements."

"Thank you for all of this, I will surely repay you for all of this. I'm not that hungry so you can get whatever you like. By the way, how long have I been out?" He immediately called his driver to bring food and instructed him to make it fast. This man is starting to be suspicious. He barely knows me yet he cares too much for me.

"You've been out for three hours. The food will be here in a bit. Putting that aside, what do you say about my proposal?" He smiled sitting on the seat beside my bed. His smile was small but it felt genuine. Was he talking about me being his wife? Was he being serious about that?! I think he was able to read my expressions because his eyes seemed to hold anger in them. Did my hesitation anger him? Sh*t, he looks hot when he's angry —but marriage is a big thing! I just broke-up with my boyfriend and I don't even know him. Or have we met before that I just don't remember about? What am I going to do?! Ahgggg!

"About your proposal, why? I mean —why me? You don't even know me! I'm just a business partner!"

"I want you to be my wife because you said you could give me anything I wanted that no other person can give and I want you to be my wife. You offered anything and I wanted you. Are you second-guessing yourself?"

"Yes-No! I mean— but this isn't what I meant! I —I need time to think. A wedding is sacred! I want it to be out of love not a business deal!" This guy is too much! A wedding for a partnership?! How Delusional!

"Who said it doesn't have love? We can always work on that —that's very easy. With my handsome face that you oh so love to stare at, you'll be mine in a snap. What do you say? Are you agreeing my sweetest?" ^w^
