Chapter Twenty-seven: Best Actress

Madi's POV:

"Hey! Who's cold and jerk?"

Nancy's eyes widened and. she stiffened on her seat. We all turned to where the voice came from. It's Gabriel and all the boys.. and they're now walking towards our seats. 

-'Uhuh.. here's the king himself'-

I smiled inwardly. -'Be ready love, Madi is coming.'-

"Nancy, I heard you. Who's that cold and jerk that you're talking about?"

Nancy's face turned pale. 

"Ohh.. the jerk? Nothing! We're just talking about Madi's favorite movie which happened to be my favorite also. Right Madi?" she smiled at me, with her eyes pleading silently. 

I chuckled but I nodded after. 

"Hmm... the movie." Gabriel nodded and he turned to me. 

"Hi love." he kissed my forehead and I smiled. 

"Excuse me, Nancy. Can I sit with my girlfriend?"

"Argh! I hate you!"

"Uhuh.. little girl, where are you going? That's my seat." and Mr. Wilsons take the vacant seat beside his wife. 

We all laughed when Nancy pouted like a child. 

"Argh! Dad? Mom?"

"What?" but her mom just asked innocently. 

"You don't love me anymore!" she pouted again and sit beside Aunt Morgan. 

"Tsk.Tsk."

I saw Gabriel shook his head. 

"So, back to the story!" Aunt Morgan get our attentions by clapping her hands. 

"What happened Madi after that?"

Gabriel looked at me after hearing Aunt Morgan's question. I smiled at him sweetly before I continued my story. 

"And then.. we saw each other again after a month in a Trade Conference, he was one of the speakers. But this time, the tables have turned, because he accidentally poured his wine on my dress. And guess what..." I looked at Gabriel to see him frowning. "...he didn't apologize. He just smirked at me."

I shook my head to made my act look real. 

"What?" all the girls asked in unison.  And Gabriel eyes widened. 

"Yes. He didn't mention even a single sorry. Tsk.Tsk."

"He didn't?" Nancy's eyes widened in disbelief. 

I shook my head. "He didn't."

-'Great Madi.'-

"My God, Gabriel! What a shame! We didn't raise you just to become rude and arrogant!"

Mrs. Wilsons snapped at her son. 

"Huh? I - I... what?"

His mouth hung open for having no clue of what we are talking about. 

I bite my lip to control my laugh. His face has a look of confusion and disapproval. Priceless. 

"Yes, love. You didn't say sorry for pouring your drinks on my dress."

"I - I didn't say sorry?"

"No." I acted hurt and disappointed. 

"Gabriel, say sorry to Madi right now!" Mrs. Wilsons narrowed her eyes on him. 

"Ma?"

"I said say sorry to your girlfriend!"

He looked at me and I smiled. 

"It's okay love, I know you're just tired in your work-----"

I was cut by his Dad. 

"No, Madi. Let Gabriel be responsible for his actions. Being a CEO doesn't mean you have to be rude towards other people."

"It's okay Mr. Wilsons, It's been in the past."

"Okay. But next time, don't let him do the same mistakes as before."

I just nodded and smiled. But what I didn't know, was that the man seated beside me with my hands on his, had already planned a secret move against me.

.He brought my hands to his lips and kissed each one of them. 

"I'm sorry love, for being so rude to you the first time we met..." I smiled triumphantly. "...I promise not to be that jerk again even in the office... I love you."

My breath hitched by his last words. Not to mention were in front of his parents and relatives. 

He smirked after seeing my reaction. 

"I love you to-----"

And again, he didn't let me finish my sentence. He kissed me in front of them. We both heard the gasp coming from the people around us, but he ignored them and continued to kiss me. 

And because I wasn't expecting this blunt action from him, I remained glued on my seat. I didn't move and I didn't respond to his kiss. 

But the jerk himself has another plan. He bite my bottom lip that caused me to gasped and he entered his tongue inside my mouth. 

I can feel all my bones are melting inside, due to the feelings that starting to grow inside me. And of course due to embarrassment, so I gripped his shirt and tried to push him. But he just tightened his hold on my waist and in the back of my neck to deepen the kiss. 

-'My God! This man is going to be the death of me!'-

He just let me go when we're both gasping for air. 

I wanted to glare at him, but since we're in front of his parents... I tried to smile sweetly. 

He used his thumb to wipe the smudged lipstick on my lips. He's grinning widely as he won in a lottery jackpot. 

"I love you, love."

He kissed my forehead. 

I thought I was the best actress in this act..but I was wrong because if there's a word that is greater than 'greatest' and best than 'the best'.. well, it was him. 

"I love you, too."

I can't look in his eyes after saying those words. 

Somehow, it's starting to affect me inside. 

"I'm sorry guys, I just can't control myself."

I rolled my eyes at his statement. 

"Can I borrow my girlfriend for a few moments? I just want her to see the whole house." he stand up and take my hand. 

"Where are we going?" I asked him confused. 

"We're just going to have a tour around the house." and I gulped when he winked at me. 

"Gabriel, just around the house and not in your room!" Mrs. Wilsons warned him with a sharp look. 

I blushed and gripped his hand, but he just laughed at his mother. 

"Ma, don't worry. We're not doing it in my room. We're doing it outside."

"Gabriel Wilsons!" Mrs. Wilsons face turned horrified. But her husband joined the laughing men in the room. 

"Honey, they were both adults. Let them do what they want." he put his arm around his wife's shoulder. 

"Okay, fine! In one condition! I want them to give us a grandchild before the end of this year."

-'Ah-ow!'-

Thank God, I caught my jaws before it fall to the ground. 

"Ma! In an instant? What do you think of Madi's womb, a super womb?" I swear Nancy's face can't paint even by the best painter in Belleville. 

"Why? Since they started doing it, so let them be. I gave you my permission to sleep in one room! Just remember my condition!"

-'Great! Nice Gabriel, good job!'-

I just smiled at them, but deep inside... I really wanted to kill the man who holds my hand right now. 

-'Oh dear God, help me!"
