Falling For The Man I Married

Gabriel's POV:

"Hi bro." 

I smiled when I saw Greg's smiling face walk into my office and make his way towards my desk.

"Greg." I stood up to hug him. "What's up, man?" I patted him on the back.

"Well, still single, unlike you." he winked at me before taking a seat on one of my visitor's chair.

He's my cousin on the mother's side and my bestfriend since childhood, but his family moved from Chicago to Florida after we graduated high school from the same school. 

But our friendship never stopped there. We've shared everything, secrets including what happened with my past relationship with Stacey and my plan to get her back and make her suffer for what she did.

"You know, it's not a real relationship." I shook my head and go back to my chair.

"Okay, not a real relationship, I see." he said nodding. "By the way, guess who I bumped with before I entered your office?"

I scrunched my eyebrows.

"Who?"

"Your beautiful assistant. What's her name again, ahh... Madi. She's a nice and beautiful, man."

"Don't approach her again! Don't come near her or it's better if you'd never talk to her!" I said in my serious tone.

"Whoah! Jealous are we? I thought it was just a 'fake' relationship?" he asked grinning.

"Yeah, it's just fake, but still, I don't want you to talk to her again." I avoided his stare when he raised his eyebrow.

"But why..  I mean no harm, bro, and don't worry, I just said she's beautiful." 

"I know you too well, Greg." I leaned back in my seat.

"Ohh, really Gabriel?" he also leaned in his seat.

"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. Can I ask you something, bro?" He suddenly became serious.
