Lock You In My Heart

Cherie didn’t deem it necessary assume that about Gabrielle and Lance.

However, Lance was awfully nice to Gabrielle.

He was thoughtful, with or without her knowledge. It didn’t seem like the love shared by two cousins. It was more so like the love between a man and a woman.

Cherie couldn’t get half the amount of affection he exerted on Gabrielle.

“Cherie, I have nothing to say to your stupid question. I love Lance like an older brother. Don’t get the wrong idea.” Gabrielle was irate.

“Gabrielle, I only thought of that because I care about Lance deeply. He…”

“Cherie, Lance is nice to me but only to a reasonable level. He never overstepped the boundaries and never did anything unethical. You shouldn’t question his morals no matter how much affection you have for him. This could only mean one thing… You don’t trust him at all. If that’s really the case, I suggest you give him up. Only by letting him go can you free yourself from your worries.” Gabrielle’s words cut deep into Cherie’s heart.

Irritation flooded Gabrielle’s insides when Cherie asked her that question. She shouldn’t have doubted her relationship with Lance.

“It’s not what you think. I trust him with all my heart. I’ve liked him for years. I only did that because I care too much. I don’t want to marry anybody else. I will never let him go,” Cherie replied.

‘How could I give up on Lance?’

“I couldn’t care less about what you’ve done to me in the past because of Lance. But from here on out, I hope you understand. You shouldn’t meddle with me and Lance anymore. I won’t be as patient as I am now the next time you do it.” The tone of Gabrielle’s voice was commanding.

Admittedly, Cherie knew that her question was a little too much.

Gabrielle’s anger was valid. Cherie should’ve thought about it before she voiced out her words.
