He only married me to show her that he already moved on Chapter 32 - Thirty-two: Catch me I'm falling for you

Gabriel's POV:

After our dinner, when we're all seated in the living room for some family talk, Uncle Jhon suggested to have a little fun. He opened the entertainment set and get the three microphones from the drawer. It's our family's way of bonding every weekend. I am seated beside 'my girlfriend' and watching her as she joined the girls' girly things conversation.

"Madi, do you know how to sing?" she was surprised when Uncle Jhon gave her the microphone.

I arched my eyebrow when she smiled and accepted it from Uncle Jhon's hand.

"Is it okay if I can just sing a little, Uncle Jhon?" she asked him smiling. And all the eyes were now on her.

"Of course, Sissy. At least you know how to sing and you're not a killjoy, unlike Stacey the bitch------"

"Nancy!" 

All the girls except Madi shouted her name and glared at her. I also looked at her and shake my head. And then all our heads snapped at the two kids, Savahna and Christian.

"See? I was right, that Stacey was a real bitch!" Sav screamed and Chris giggled.

"S.l.u.ty bitch!" he added.

"Savannah! Christian! Where did you get those words?" Aunt Cindy glared at her kids and I looked back at Nancy who's biting her nails.

I know how they became affected when Stacey left me, but not as affected by Nancy, who cried instead of me. I love my sister so much, but when it comes like this moment I also wanted to smack her head.

"Sorry, Sissy." she said with a peace sign in her two fingers.

"You don't have to say sorry, Nancy. It's okay." Madi smiled at her. "If you want you can choose me a song."

"Really, Sissy? Ohh, I love that." Nancy squealed in excitement and she already stand up to pull Madi beside her.

"Why are you pulling her?" I can't help not to ask.

But my stubborn sister ignored me and just raised her eyebrow.

"It's okay love." Madi smiled at me and I sighed.

"Bro, don't worry.. you're sister won't bite your 'love'." Justine seated beside me as soon as Madi walked with Nancy.

I didn't answer him. I just watched how Madi smiled and laughed at Nancy's corny jokes. After a few moments, Dad and Mom came from the kitchen with the bottle of scotch whiskey and wine on their hands.

"Wow! This is gonna be exciting!" Aunt Cindy and Aunt Morgan clapped their hands.

When Dad open the two bottles, he gave me a glass of whiskey and wine for Madi. 

"Sissy, just tell us if you're not drinking-----"

"I am, Nancy. Don't worry." she giggled and I just found myself smiling. 

"Don't stare at her too much, Gab. She's already yours. If she melt by your stares... it's your loss." Phillip patted my shoulder while giving me his smirk but I just nudged his side.

Then Uncle Jhon started to sing, followed by my Dad, Mom, Uncle James and now it's Madi. I can't take my eyes away from her.

But before she can sing, Nancy get the microphone from her hand.

"Guys, this is one of my favorite song but since Sissy allowed me to pick a song for her, so I choose this." then she gave it back to her.

Madi stand and looked at me. She smiled and then focused her eyes on the TV screen.

I don't know why, but when I look in your eyes, I felt something that seems so right.. You've got yours, I've got mine... I think I'm losing my mind, 'cause I shouldn't feel this way... catch me I'm falling for you and I don't know what to do...

How can something so wrong, feel so right all along.. catch me I'm falling for you.. how can time be so wrong for love to come along, catch me I'm falling for you.. how can love let it go, when it has no place to go, I can't go along pretending.. that love isn't here to stay, catch me I'm falling for you..

If I could just walk away, without you from day to day, I would die just thinking of you... I know we can't ever be, more than friends you and me, but why do I feel this way... catch me I'm falling for you and I don't know what to do...

Maybe someday I'll see, why love did this to me, 'cause I can't go along pretending, that love isn't here to stay... catch me I'm falling for you...

And is it wrong for me to feel this way.. 'cause I don't what to do without you.. catch me I'm falling for you...

All eyes were on her when she started to sing and even when she finished singing. And they all clapped their hands. While I am still not moving in my seat. She has a talent. She knows how to capture the heart of her listeners. Because Aunt Cindy and Nancy has teary eyes when she finished her song. And I admit there's something with the song and it's lyrics... or maybe it's just by the way she has sung it.

"Wow, Madi. You're really good at singing. You have a talent in you. You really belongs to this family. Even Gabriel has talent."

She looked at me and smiled, I also smiled back and then Aunt Morgan stand and clapped again her hands.

"And God, Sissy. You made me cry." Nancy said still sniffing. "You know why was that my favorite song?"

"No, why?" Madi asked her confused.

Nancy take her hands and they go back to their seats. And because Dad started his song, I didn't hear what Nancy's explanation. I just watched them exchanging their whispers and smiles. 

I smiled when I realized how she easily get along with my family. Well, maybe because of her personality. As I watched them laughing, there's something in her that I noticed. She also has a dimple. Why didn't I notice this before? She's beautiful when she smiles and cute when she gets mad. She's just simp-----.

"I told you, don't stare too much! She can melt by your stares, bro!" 

I chuckled and shake my head when Phillip put the glass of whiskey on my hand.

"Do you really love her?" my head snapped on his direction.

"What kind of question is that?" I asked him back frowning.

"You didn't answer my question."

"Tss! Do I need to answer that?" I avoided his eyes.

"Of course! It's just a yes or a no. Do you really love her, Gabriel?"

"Of course! I won't introduce her to you guys, if I don't." 

"Okay." he shrugged his shoulders. "That's just what I'm asking. You love her, then it's good!"

"Why did you ask?" I raised my eyebrow on him.

He drink first before he answer me. "Let's just say.. I'm not convinced that you already moved on with Stacey."

"Tss! Stacey is in the past! And I don't want to talk about her anymore!" I said annoyed and drink my whisky. 

I gripped my glass hard. Why does almost everyone has a clue about me and Madi. This should be between only me and her. I need to talk to her later.
