Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 33: Catch me I'm falling for you

Gabriel's POV:

After our dinner, when we were all sitting in the living room talking with the family, Uncle Jhon suggested having a little fun. He opened the entertainment set and took the three microphones from the drawer. It's our family's way of bonding every weekend. I was seated next to 'my girlfriend', 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 raised an 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 eyes were now on her.

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

"Nancy!"

All the girls except Madi screamed her name and glared at her. I also looked at her, shaking 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 yelled and Chris giggled.

"Sluty 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 now biting her nails.

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

"I'm sorry, Sis," she said with a peace sign in her two fingers.

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

"Really? Ohh, I love that." Nancy squealed in excitement as she got up and pulled Madi next to her.

"Where are you dragging her?" I couldn't help but 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 sat next to 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 returned from the kitchen with the bottle of scotch whiskey and wine in their hands.

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

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

"Sissy, just tell us if you don't drink---"

"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 melts in your haze, it's your loss." Phillip patted me on the shoulder as he gave giving me a smirk, but I just nudged him on the side.

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

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

"Guys, this is one of my favorite songs but since my sister-in-law allowed me to choose a song for her, so I chose this one." then she gave it back to her.

Madi stood up 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 singing and even when she finished. Everyone clapped their hands but I got stuck in my seat. She has talent. She knows how to capture the heart of her listeners.

Because Aunt Cindy and Nancy have tears in their 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 sang it.

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

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

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

"No, why?" Madi asked her confused.

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

A smile crept into my lips as I realized how easily she got along with my family. Well, maybe because of her personality. As I watched them laugh, there's something in her that I noticed. She also has a dimple. Why didn't I notice that before? She's beautiful when she smiles and cute when she gets mad. She's so simple---.

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

I chuckled and shook my head when Phillip put the glass of whiskey in my hand.

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

"What kind of question is that?" I asked him back with a frow.

"You didn't answer my question."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

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

"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. "That's just what I'm asking. You love her, then it's good!"

"Why did you ask?" I raised an eyebrow.

He sipped his drinks first before answering my question.

"Let's just say, I'm not convinced that you've already moved on with Stacey."

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

I gripped the glass tightly. Why does almost everyone have a clue of what's going on between me and Madi? This should be just between me and her. I need to talk to her later.
