Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 30: It's my heart

"Sissy, try this one. I made a chocolate cake."

Nancy offered me a slice of cake. 

"Wow! You can bake?" I asked her smiling.

She was about to answer, but her brother answered for her.

"Yes, she can bake. At least she knows how to bake because she can't even cook a fried egg."

"Argh! I hate you, Gabriel! Get out of here!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.  "If you can't comment something nice, get your ass out of here!"

"Ohh, but what I said was true. You can't even boil water in the kettle." and he laughed in his carefree laughter which made Nancy stop in her tracks.

Maybe seeing his brother back in his carefree mood, still a surprise for her. She looked at me and then she smiled.

"I've changed my mind. You can stay here brother. You can even eat my cake if you want."

I bit my lip when Gabriel looked at her and wrinkled his eyebrows.

"No, thanks Nancy, but I won't fall with your tricks."

"B-But..."

"Let's go, Madi." he took my hand again.

"Uhm... I'll stay with Nancy. I'll help her." I smiled and patted his cheek.

"Love---"

"I'm fine, love, don't worry about me, just go to the boys." 

"Are you sure?"

"Jesus! She's no longer a kid! And I won't eat your 'love' Gab!" Nancy screamed, mimicking his word and rolled her eyes.

"I'm not talking to you. Nancy, I'm warning you, don't ask her with your ridiculous mouth and ridiculous question!" and then he turned to me. "Love, just call me if Nancy did something stupid, okay?"

"Wow, Gabriel! She'll just stay in the kitchen! My God, I'm not a beast!"

He ignored her and asked me.

"Love?" 

"Okay, okay. I'll call you." I chuckled and pulled his shirt collar and brought my mouth closer to his ear. "Don't worry love, I won't ask Nancy anything about you."

"Madi!" 

I laughed at his reaction. 

"I love you," I said smiling and I don't know where I got the confidence from and kissed him quickly on his lips.

I saw how he was taken aback at what I did. And I used that as an opportunity to push him away. "Come on, I'm fine here."

He just nodded and kissed my forehead before disappearing in our sights.

"You know what, sissy? I want to say thank you." Nancy said when we were both alone.

"Thanks for what?" I got confused as to why she wanted to thank me.

"For bringing my brother back."

I watched her she slice the chocolate cake.

"Why? Hasn't he ever come to visit you here for a long time?"

"No, that's not what I mean. Thank you for bringing back the old Gabriel. The carefree and naughty Gabriel who always smiles, laughs and throws jokes to any of us." she said having a half-hearted smile.
