"Gabriel, what is happening to you?" I whispered In his ears.
"What is happening to me? You said you were just going to the bathroom and when I saw you, you're dancing with Greg!" he said gripping my waist.
"I was about to go back to the table when I saw him. He asked me to dance---"
"And you agreed and danced with him!"
"So what? What was wrong with that?" I also glared at him.

"What I mean is that we're playing a sweet couple here, Madi! What do you think would other people say when they see you dancing with another man?"

He looked at me suspiciously and I started to feel nervous. What if he asks me why I'm so closed with Greg?
"Are you falling in love with Greg, Madi?"
