Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:

"You're boyfriend is here?" I bit my lips when she turned to me with the same wide eyes as mine. "I thought you said he's busy? Ohh... did he follow you all the way from Chicago?"

"Uhm.."

"Oh my baby, I'm so excited to meet him! Come on!" she said as she stood up and pulled my hand. 

"Mom...?"

"Come on, Madielyn! I can't wait to see him!" she excitedly pulled me to the front door. Yeah, she's more excited than me. 

-'Oh dear God! Why did you let my Mom be single at this age? Why didn't you give her the second man in her life?"

I gulped when I saw him standing outside the gate,  wearing only a plain white shirt and denim pants. He also wears black sunglasses and with a suitcase in his right hand. He's so hot, sexy and good looking in his simple outfit, but I've felt again the same feeling of disappointment when I remember how many times I've tried to call him since last night and how many text messages I've sent to him just to ask him if he's still willing to go with me. But I got no response from all of it. 

He took off his sunglasses and looked at me with a hint of regret in his both eyes. Then the guard pressed the automatic controller to open the huge gate and do you know what was the next thing that happened? My dearest mother ran to Gabriel and hugged him tightly with the biggest grin in her both eyes and then she turned to me. 

"Oh my God, Madielyn! Am I already in heaven? Am I seeing God now? Oh gosh, your boyfriend is so handsome!"

I bit my lips when I saw Gabriel's eyes sparkle with amusement as he watched me and my Mom. 

"He's more handsome than Tom Cruise!" she said as she smiled widely and I need to put a hand on my face to cover myself from blushing. 

-'I feel you, Mom, but dear God! I am asking you again, why did you let her be single at this moment?'-

"Hi, I'm Cherry, Madi's mother." she offered him her hand for a handshake and he immediately accepted it, bringing it to his lips. And I almost rolled my eyes when I saw Mom's reaction. 

"I'm Gabriel, Madi's boyfriend. It's an honor for me to meet you, Mrs Davis," he said smiling, but I noticed how my Mom stiffened at his last words. 

"Ohh... yeah, it's also nice to finally meet the one who captured my daughter's heart." she smiled and just ignored his words. "By the way, Madi said you're busy. Was that the reason you're late now?"

"Y-Yes Ma'am, I'm sorry if I leave your daughter alone in her flight."

"Oh, it's okay, but please, just call me Cherry or Aunt Cherry or maybe you can also call me Mom, like Madi." she winked at him.
