He only married me to show her that he already moved on Chapter 35 - thirty-five: This is it

Madi's POV:

Ohh... dear God.. I hate mornings! I hate waking up early! I hate taking a bath early! But this time.. I don't have any single choice.

When I heard the splashing of water from the bathroom, I remember I am not in my own bedroom. I opened my left eye and closed it again.

"Argh! Oh my God! Why there is a thing called morning? Why do we have to wake up early in the morning?" I complained to myself while lazily getting up in bed but still in half-closed eyes.

I scratched my head and get up in bed. I know I have a bird nest in my head, but I don't care. I was about to take my first step when I bumped into something hard and wet.

"Argh!" I pushed it and opened my eyes feeling irritated. But as soon as I opened my eyes, the handsome face of my smiling boss was the first thing that appeared in my sight. I crunched my eyebrows when he didn't move.

"Good morning, love. How's your sleep?" his smile turned into a grin after seeing my crunched face.

I am about to speak when my nose hit his fresh apple scent smell. 

And suddenly a water dropped from his wet hair and landed on his shoulder. My eyes followed the water from his shoulder down to his bared chest.. and my mouth went dry when it continued to flow down on his toned stomach and to the white towel that loosely hanging on his waist.

I gasped and my eyes widened when I realized what he's only wearing. 

"Oh my God, Gabriel Wilsons!" I pushed him on his chest.

"Why? I'm not doing anything, love?"

"Oh my goodness! Why are you only wearing a towel?" I averted my eyes away from his V line.

"Because I just came out from the shower. What should I supposed to wear... or do you want me to wear nothing?" and I screamed when he acted like he will going to take off his towel.

"Good gracious God, Gabriel!" I run immediately to the bathroom and I heard him laughed before I slammed the door. "Argh!" 

I just entered the shower room, but then his apple scent filled my nostrils. 

I sighed. "Just another acting day." I told myself before I started to take off my clothes. Thank you to their maids for putting all my bathroom essentials here. My favorite aloe vera shampoo, my honey and vanilla soap and of course my in shower lotion in honey and vanilla also. I don't use hair conditioners.. why? Because I told you, I hate mornings, so I don't have time to put any of it on my hair. My time is always limited in the morning.

"Hmm.. perfect." I muttered to myself after putting my face cream. I just finished taking a bath. 

"Oh my! Tsk.tsk.tsk." I shake my head when I remember I didn't bring my clothes inside.

"Argh!" 

I get an extra towel to wrap in my hair as I wrapped the first one around my body.

I opened the bathroom door and peeked my head outside. And when I noticed that he's no longer inside the room, I stepped out and tiptoed towards his closet. Their maid already arranged my stuff in one of his cabinets inside.

"Why do you walk in tiptoed?" I almost lost my balance when Gabriel suddenly opened the door. I gripped the end of the towel in front of my chest.

"Didn't you know how to knock?" I glared at him but he just chuckled.

"What should I need to knock in my own room?" he continued to walk inside.

-'Yeah.. why does he need to knock in his own room? Argh! stupid!'-

I rolled my eyes on him and just walked normally to 'his' closet. Yeah.. it's his, not mine.

"What should I wear?" I asked myself scratching the side of my neck. "It's a family picnic.. uhm.. shorts? dress?" I sighed.. in the end I just picked my nude sundress and nude flat sandals. I don't know why I love nude colors, maybe because it blended well with my skin color. I just put mascara and lip gloss.

When i walked outside, i raised my eyebrow when i found him sitting at the corner of the bed with his phone on his hand.

"You're still here?" I checked my wristwatch and it's fifteen minutes before seven in the morning.

"I'm waiting for you." 

"Hmm.. but why? I thought your Mom said, all the boys needs to go early at the picnic site?"

"Yeah, but it's still early." he stand up and put his phone on his back pocket.

I just shrugged my shoulders. "Let's go?" I asked him but he looked at me and frowned.

"You're not going to bring your bag?"

"What for? I already have my pouch." I show him my small pouch with cellphone, compact mirror, lip gloss and powder inside.

"But that's too small."

I rolled my eyes and sighed. I know what he is talking about.

"Tsk.Tsk. My dear love.." I touch his cheek with my free hand. "I'm not used in bringing my closet and makeup stand outside or wherever I go. I'm just contented with this." I lifted up my pouch and smiled. "My little beautiful pouch, with compact mirror, powder and lip gloss... that's all!" I shrugged my shoulders.

He takes my hand and intertwined with his.

"Without makeup or any girly stuff?" he asked again and I chuckled.

"Without any of it. Why? Does 'she' bringing all her stuff when you're going out?" 

His face suddenly became serious.

-'Ah-ow!'- 

I bite my lip.. out of line...

But then he miraculously answered my question.

"Yes." I looked at him when he speaks. "She's bringing all her makeups and girly stuffs every time we're going out and having a family bonding like this."

"Ohh... I see." that's all my mouth can say. But my mind still have a lot of questions about 'her' but I choose to keep it aside.

His face remained in his serious mode until we reached the living room with my hand still with his hand. I just sighed and started to wear my best actress smile when I saw Sav and Chris on the couch playing with their own toys.

"Good morning kids." I greeted them.

Their face lightened when they both looked up at me. They both run towards me and I have to take my hand from Gabriel's hold to kneel down and receive their hugs.

"Careful Sav, Chris." I smiled when they both hugged me and kissed me on my cheeks.

"Good morning Madi." they both said in unison.

"You looked so beautiful today." Chris said smiling and kissed again my cheeks.

"Hey, stop kissing my girlfriend. She's mine."

I looked up to the frowning face of Gabriel. I wanted to laugh if I just don't remember that this is just an 'act'.

"Gab, he's just a kid!" I playfully glared at him. This is it. I know this is the start of what he said... 'extra sweet and so much in love with each other'.

"I know-----" but he was cut off by Chris who's grinning widely.

"I was wrong Madi, I'm sorry." We both looked back on him.

"What do you mean, Chris?" I asked him confused.

"Sorry, but you're not beautiful." i raised my eyebrow and Gabriel walked in front of us, grinning.

"Because you looked lovely and gorgeous today." he added and kissed me on my forehead and both of my cheeks.

While Gabriel's grin disappeared from his face and replaced by a deep frown.

Sav and I both giggled in Chris' actions. But all of us three laughed together when we heard Gabriel growled playfully.

"Don't do that again, Christian Wilsons!" he glared at Chris, but the kid just laughed harder on him. 

"But why?" he innocently asked him.

"Because she's my girlfriend and she's mine, not yours!" 

I stood up while shaking my head. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow.

-'Seriously? We need to act like this even with the kids?'- I asked him through my eyes and he nodded. Meaning he understand why I am raising my eyebrow and looking at him like that.

He walked towards me and hold my hand. 

"Love----" But his words stopped again in mid-air when Chris speak.

"Okay fine, she's yours. But remember Gab, when I have my own girlfriend I won't let you kiss her and hug her.. or even touch her!"

Gabriel and I both looked at each other and I bite my lip to control my laugh.

"Okay." Gabriel said messing up the kid's hair. I know he's just also controlling his laugh.

He pulled me to the kitchen and stopped when we're about three or four steps away from the door.

"Why?" I asked him looking directly on his eyes.

"Remember what we talked about last night?" he whispered to my ear. I gripped my pouch when his lips brushed my earlobe.

"Yeah, don't worry, I remember it." I smiled and was about to step when he pulled me and hugged me suddenly. I wanted to ask him why, but I get it when his Mom suddenly appeared in the kitchen's door.

"Ohh.. my children, good morning." she greeted us with a wide smile. 

"Good morning, Ma." we both greeted her back in unison. Except that I didn't mention the word 'Ma'.

"How's your sleep?" there's a hidden meaning on her question but i just let Gabriel answered her.

"Great." he answered shortly.

But she raised her eyebrow. "Just great?"

"Ma?" he glared at her.

"Okay, fine." she shrugged her shoulders before she walked back to the kitchen.

I loudly sighed when she disappeared in our sight. He smiled at me and kissed me on my forehead.

"It will be okay. Just keep on my side, okay?"

I smiled and nodded. Then we walked towards the kitchen with his hand on my lower back.
