Falling For The Man I Married

After our lunch, Gabriel received a phone call and I felt my heart clenched when I saw the name and image of the person calling him. It's Stacey. I looked away from the screen of his phone but my eyes met Greg's gaze. I smiled at him and he reciprocated it.

"Love, I'll just take this," Gabriel said, kissing me on the forehead. I just nodded and he walked away about ten meters away from the tent. Maybe if we were in a different situation, I would ask him who is that person calling him and why does he have to walk away just to answer it?

I sighed as I looked back at Greg whose eyes followed Gabriel's action.

Five minutes passed and I turned to look at Gabriel, but he still on the phone. And when everyone got up to start the music bonding, I got up too and told Nancy that I would just take a walk along the lakeside.

I took my phone and checked if there some messages or missed calls because I put it in silent mode before getting out of the car earlier, but I don't have any. I sighed and looked at my reflection from the water and I almost jumped when someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder. I turned and saw Greg smiling widely.

"I'm sorry." He chuckled. "Remember I told you not to drink too much coffee?"

I laughed at him. That was his favourite line back in college every time he saw me drinking coffee because as he said it it would only worsen my nervousness inside.

"So, you're engaged." It was not a question.

"Greg, I - I..." I don't know how to explain it to him or should I really need to explain?

"I know everything, Madi." I gulped as my head instantly snapped at him.

"W-What do you mean?" I asked him confused.

"I know everything, the deal, the contract, the engagement and the reason why you're here."

"H-How did you know that?"

"Gabriel told me everything. He's also my best friend, Madi."

"Ohh..."

"But don't worry, I understand. And as for your secret, it's still safe." he winked at me and I just smiled.

"So, you know everything," I said as I sighed. It's not also a question but a statement.

what, I still don't get it. Why did you agree to this deal?" he
