Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 78: Gabriel's moves

Madi's POV:

It's half-past seven in the morning and I was napping lightly when I heard the sound of my alarm clock. I reached for it to stop it from ringing but then I noticed it wasn't from the alarm clock but my phone. I answered it with my half-closed eyes and didn't bother looking at who the disturbing caller was on the screen.

But I jolted up and my eyes widened when I heard the familiar voice from the other line and ... it's Gabriel. And since I got up quickly, I haven't noticed that I was already on the edge of the bed and the next thing I know, I was on the floor. How I wished my scream could save me, but no... I fell with a loud thud and with my butt first.

"Hey! What happened to you?" concern was woven in his voice as I heard the loud bang from the other side of the door.

"Fucking shit!" I cursed when I felt the sting on my butt and groaned in pain.

"Opened this fucking door! What happened to you?"

He asked again but I just ignored him and tried to get up. "Gosh! How did you know where I was staying? And forgodsake, how did you get my number?" I asked as I walked towards the main door.

"Are you okay? I heard you scream!" but he also ignored my question.

"What are you doing here?"

"God, Madi! Just answer my question first! Are you okay?"

I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. "I'm fine! Now, answer my question... what are you doing---" he lunged at me and hugged me in a bone-crushing hug.

"You scared me! I thought something had happened to you!" he said as he repeatedly kissing my hair.

"Hey, Gabriel!" I pushed him slightly.

"Why did you scream?" he asked when he pulled back and guess what--- it was he who closed the door.

"It's none of your business!" I answered, leaving him and went straight to the mini-kitchen.

I haven't heard his voice again, but I know he's following me because of the sound of his shoes on the tiled floor. I boiled the water on the electric kettle and took the ready mixed coffee from the drawer. When I turned around, he's already comfortably seated at my two-seater dining table. He didn't say a word, he's just looking at me and God... it's a little awkward moving inside while his eyes were focused on me.

"Why are you here?"

"You haven't had your breakfast yet?"

We asked in unison, but it was I who asked him again for the second time.

"Excuse me? You barged into my room so early this morning while I was still sleeping and then now you ask me if I haven't had breakfast yet? Gosh! Look at me, I'm still in my sleepwear!"

I pointed to my clothes and he just chuckled at me.

"You're like a hen, Madi. I was just asking if you haven't had breakfast but you've already said a lot of things."

I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"I told you, I'm going to the City Hall with you."

I was about to speak when we both heard the doorbell ring.

"You already have a visitor this early morning?" he asked me narrowing his eyes.

"Huh! Yeah, you're here in my kitchen, earlier than whoever is outside right now."

I walked back into the living room with him trailing behind me. And guess what, he pulled me by my waist before I could reach the door and he was the one who opened it.

"Babe, I heard-------you? What are you doing in my girlfriend's room?"

-'Ah-oh!'- I bit my bottom lip when I noticed Gabriel's fists formed into a ball.

"None of your business!" Gabriel answered with a growl.

"It's my business because she's my girlfriend!"

"I don't care! She's still my wife!"

"What? How did you-----"

But we never heard his next words when Gabriel rudely slammed the door in Martin's face. I gasped at his rudeness and glared at him.

"Why did you do that? Why did you close the door---"

And I too didn't hear my next words when his lips suddenly joined mine.

-'Gosh! I haven't brushed yet!'- I pushed him as my eyes widened.

He smirked and then left me dumbfounded in my post. He went back to the kitchen and made himself comfortable making his coffee and opening my fridge.

"What are you doing?"

"Checking something to eat. I haven't had my breakfast too, so I'm going to cook." he shrugged as if it were his kitchen.

"Wow! So, you just got yourself early to have breakfast here?"

"Hmm.. yeah, that's one of the reasons. I want to eat here with you because it's boring to have breakfast at home since you left me," he said casually.

"Huh!" I can't form any words with that, so I just rolled my eyes.

"Why don't you take a bath first, while I make breakfast? I'll wait for you here." he smiled and continued to search for something inside the refrigerator.

"What the---argh!" I stomped my feet and turned around only to stopped again when I heard what he said.

"I love you...love."

My mouth hung in mid-air when I heard him say those words aloud. I looked at him but he's now facing the stove and starting to cook.

-'Did he just say it or he's just playing around?'- I can't help but ask myself as I turned my way back to my room.

"Madi.."

I glanced up when Noelle called me. I was currently checking the reports from the previous month.

"Your handsome devil is here." she's winked at me, grinning widely.

"Who are you talking about?"

"God! Who else, your husband!"

"Tss! What is he doing here?" I scrunched my eyebrows.

"I don't know. He's waiting for you outside. Go! don't make him wait." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Huh! Let him wait until he gets old!"

"Oh no! Don't you ever wish to get him old in an instant, Madi!"

"And why not?" I asked confused in her horrified look.

"Because if he gets old quickly, his crotch will get old too. And you will never experience the taste of heaven!"

"Oh my God, Noelle! You really have a silly, fishy mouth!" she chuckled when she saw my crumpled face.

"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. Such a virgin!"

"Hmmph!" I huffed as I headed for the door. I can hear her loud laugh even though I have already closed the door behind me.

I found Gabriel sitting near the counter. I sighed before deciding to approach him.

"What are you doing here?" he glanced up and smiled at me.

"Why is it every time you see me, you ask me the same question?"

"And what do you want me to ask you?" I asked crossing my hands over my chest.

He smirked. "Well, you can ask me if when I am going to kiss you again, or you can----"

"Mr. Gabriel Wilsons, I don't have time for your corny jokes! I have a lot of things to do!" I whispered- yelled at him through gritted teeth, but the jerk didn't seem to be bothered because he just chuckled at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mrs. Madielyn Wilsons. I just came here to eat, and we're going to eat together. I have already ordered for us."

"Huh! I'm not going to eat with you! I'm still full." I huffed and was about to walk away when he spoke again.

"Okay, if you're not going to sit down right now, I'll scream here," he warned.

"And what are you going to scream?"

"That I love you... inside your restaurant."

I didn't take it seriously and just laughed at him. "Then go on! Shout it!" I challenged him while still laughing. Because I'm sure he can't do that.

But to my surprise, he stood up and smirked at me. "Watch me." I raised an eyebrow when he walked to the center floor of the restaurant and I gulped when he spread his arms out to the side before and screamed.

"I love you, Madi! I love you, Mrs. Madielyn Wilsons! I love you, my love!"

-'Oh, holy God!'-

My eyes widened more than a saucer as I watched him repeatedly shout the same sentence in the middle. And because his voice was too loud, it immediately caught the attention of almost all the customers inside. And take note, some of them took their phones and recorded what Gabriel was doing.

"I love you, my wife! Please give me a second chance!" he continued screaming, so I decided to go over to him.

"Gabriel, what are you doing?" I whispered through gritted teeth.

"You're asking me that question again, love." he continued in his loud voice.

"Don't you have work to do?" but no matter how I tried to lower my voice, he just kept answering me with his loud voice.

"Yes I have, that's why I came here to eat with you. So please, join me."

"Come on, Ms. Madi. Just grant your husband's wish. He's so sweet, isn't he guys?" said one of the female customers.

"Yes! Come on girl! He's so cute and handsome. Yummy!" and my jaws dropped when I heard that from a gay customer.

"You heard that? They all agree with me." and the jerk himself turned to me with a huge grin.

I bit my bottom lip hard and took a deep breath before faking my smile.

"Fine! Let's eat."

I grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the table.

"You're crazy, Gabriel! Don't you know that?" I glared at him as I sat in the chair across from him.

"Of course, I do. I'm crazy for you." and he winked at me.

I was left speechless by that. I admit deep inside, I missed this other side of him. The carefree and funny Gabriel. I didn't say anything after that. I just started eating my food, ignoring his intense stares on my face. Well, let him be.. just to finish this moment immediately.
