Rubin woke up to the sound of laughter sounding throughout the small hospital room. He sat up,groaning, hiding his face from the sunlight streaming through the blinds of the bright, white room and looked over at Eliza and Anna. He smiled and stretched getting up from the uncomfortable couch bed.
He walked over to the side of the hospital bed where Eliza and Anna were watching a show with a girl that likes to run around town with a monkey. Why would her parents let her do that by herself? Rubin chuckled and startled Eliza, who was concentrating deeply on the show.
“Oh Rubin, your here, I thought you left last night” she said smiling and blushing slightly, trying to comb down her adorable bed head. “The doctor came in earlier and said that I was free to go when he comes back with the discharge papers.” Rubin nodded, staring at her beautiful face with no makeup on.
“Umm, I have to go to work today and I really need someone to watch Anna tonight, I know that we just met but I trust you and Anna really likes you” she rambled and her cheeks flooded with pink. “Of course I will watch Anna, and even though I don't know you, I do really like you and I would love to take you out.” he responded looking hopeful, that he was finally getting somewhere with her.
From the first time, a month ago, he seen her dancing on that stage, his wolf connected to her and one look into her eyes, he was a goner, and he was already in love with her. Rubin held his breath in anticipation “Uhh, okay but it has to be on Sunday because I work today and tomorrow.” Rubin cheered in the inside but on the outside he smirked at her “Okay, I will pick you up on Sunday at seven.”
The doctor walked in and handed Rubin the papers “Okay, Mr. Andrew’s please sign these papers for your wife and please take good care of her when she gets home, no heavy lifting, no hard work.”
“Okay thank you” the doctor left and Eliza looked over at him.
“Wife?”
“I had to say it, they wouldn't let me in otherwise” he said rubbing his neck and looking around the room, trying to hide avoid looking into her scrutinizing eyes.
Eliza didn’t know why but she liked the sound of being his wife.
Rubin signed the paper and handed them to Eliza to sign, ‘alright Anna, go pick up your mess and we can get ready to go’ Anna scurried off of the bed picking up loose candy papers and chip bags.
‘Whoa, it looks like ‘yall’ had a feast without me’ he smiles picking up a wrapper for Twinkies. ‘Yeah, we were feeling hungry and the hospital food is awful.’ She gagged at the sight of what they call Salisbury steak; it looked more like a pile of turd.
‘Yeah it does stink something awful’ he scratched his sensitive canine nose, trying to hide from the awful aroma of fake meat. ‘At least the orange juice is good, I couldn’t afford much else’ she chugged down the small container of juice and tried to climb out of bed, groaning in pain.
‘Wait, don’t move. I’ll help’ he grabbed her waist softly, lifting her out of bed. ‘Thanks’ Eliza looked up and her nose brushed against Rubin’s chin. She blushed and cleared he throat, stepping slightly away from his hard, well-toned, masculine, manly- . She shook her head and gathered up the clothes that Ms. Jean, her neighbor brought for her.
“I don’t think you should work tonight or this week’ he suggested, or at all, he wanted to add, but he was sure she wouldn’t like that so he kept it to himself. Instead he reassured himself that she won’t be lifting a finger when they are finally mated.
“I have to work, I need the money” she sighed “I can give you the money for anything you want, for anything you or Anna desire. ‘ I can’t ask you to do that Rubin; really I’m fine just a little bruised. I can cover that up easily’ she told him ‘I’ve done it before’ she added silently.
‘But really-‘Eliza cut him off ‘drop it Rubin, I don’t need your money’ she snapped and stomped into the bathroom to changed her clothes.

The car ride back to Liza’s house was silent, excluding the fact that Anna was singing the Dora explorer theme song on the top of her voice.
When Rubin pulled up to Eliza’s small home. She got out of the car slammed the door and walked around the car to unlock Anna from her booster seat.
She stomped up the stairs to the apartment on the first floor. She stopped in the middle of her walk turned around and walked slowly back to Rubin’s car that was waiting patiently at the curb of the building.
She sighed ‘I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier, it’s just really hard and the last time I depended on someone, I got…… hurt”
‘I’m sorry about that, but I will never hurt you and you can depend on me’ he said tenderly stroking her face.
“I know and thank you for that, but im not ready for all of that, maybe I will sometime” she said sadly gripping the hand that rested on her face.
“Don’t worry about that and I will see you on Sunday so be ready by seven, please” he smiled at her and drove off, she walked back into the building and locked the door.
