Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:

"God, Sissy. You made me cry." Nancy said while sniffing, right after I finished the song.

I just smiled at her and glanced in Gabriel's direction. I also smiled at him and he did the same. 

"Do you know why it was my favorite song?"

"No, why?" I asked her confused.

She held my hands and lad me back to our seats.

"Because I have a friend in high school who fell in love with her best friend, although her best friend didn't notice her effort. But she continued to love him even when she knew deep inside, the guy will never notice her effort because he's in love with someone else. And that song was her team song for her best friend. Catch me I'm falling for you."

"Ohh.." why does it hurt to hear her story?

"But anyway, let's enjoy for this night. For your ever after with Gabriel and for your upcoming babies!"

We raised our glass as we both laughed. When I glanced back at Gabriel, I saw him frowning while talking to Phillip. But then I looked away when I know he was about to look at me.

Mr Wilsons was really enjoying his song which was obviously dedicated to his wife. And when he finished singing, he passed the microphone to his son. I looked at Nancy when she nudged my arm.

"What?" I asked her.

"Is he going to sing?" she asked with wide eyes while referring to her brother.

"And so?" I couldn't help but ask. 

"He stopped singing after his break up with---ohh, I'm sorry." and she immediately covered her mouth as if mentioning Stacey's name was a huge sin.

"Why do you always say sorry every time you mention Stacey's name?" I asked, frowning. 

"Because she was his ex and you are his present," she answered awkwardly.

I sighed before taking her hand.
