Lock You In My Heart

‘What did that mean? Was it a confession of love?’

Gabrielle was stunned to hear it, and looked at Macy in disbelief.

She didn’t expect that her guess was right.

“Macy, stop joking! We are just friends. There’s nothing more between us,” Gabrielle explained trying to sound calm and composed.

It was a fact that they were just schoolmates. She didn’t think there was anything else in their relationship.

Being a cautious person, Gabrielle was never interested in love affairs with anyone earlier. Now, it was an equally impossible thing to happen. She was married to Westley and didn’t want to be involved with any other man. And especially not Jax, whom she respected a lot.

“C’mon Gabrielle! Jax doesn’t treat you just as a friend. Everyone can see it. One glance and it is clear that he likes you a lot. Really, you don’t really have any feelings for him?” Macy was not someone who would indulge in gossip unnecessarily. But she knew that Jax liked Gabrielle.

As a matter of fact, it was pretty obvious. Jax was the one who would always be around Gabrielle. Wherever she was, he was there too. Plus, he treated Gabrielle in a manner different from how he treated the other girls.

Macy could see and feel that clearly.

“Macy, it’s time to get into the classroom now.” Finding herself in a weird situation, Gabrielle did not want to answer her question. So, she turned around and strode into the classroom.

It was obvious that Gabrielle was trying to escape from the conversation. Macy suddenly realized something.

She understood now. Gabrielle knew that Jax liked her, she just never wanted to point it out. She was afraid that it might break their friendship.

However, Macy was really envious of Gabrielle, who was a very talented designer and the top student in their department.
