Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 26: Meeting his relatives

Madi's POV:

"Why do you have to pick me up? I can go to the airport by myself. I have my feet, you know?" I asked Gabriel for the third time this morning.

We are going to visit his parents in Belleville. It's 4 hours and 52 minutes of drive by a car, but he said we'll take his private jet, so we can only take 47 of travel.

"You know what, you should be thanking and not complaining. At least we can go together and we can save time."

I just rolled my eyes. Do you know where he is right now? He's in my room! Can you imagine your boss at work isn't ashamed to barge into his assistant's room! And he's really sitting 'pretty' on the edge of my bed.

"And forgodsake, what are you doing inside my room? Who gave you permission to enter here?" I asked putting my hands on my waist.

"You." he pointed his finger at me. "You opened your door, so I walked in. And love, I'm here to get your things." he chuckled and lay on his back to tease me more.

"Oh yeah, love, thank you so much." I rolled my eyes again, pushkng my suitcase to where he sits. "I'm done. Let's go."

He immediately got up and grabbed the suitcase, but he hadn't yet reached the door when he turned around.

"What's inside of your bag? It's so light."

"Ohh love, you should be thanking instead of complaining." I smiled as I mimicked what he said earlier. "Hello, it has four wheels so it's easy to pull! duh!" I just said the last word to myself.

"Yeah, I know it has four wheels! But I also know what's really heavy or not!"

And to my surprise, he put it down and without asking, he opened my bag.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, trying to stop what he's about to do.

"I'm checking your bag, what else?" he asked me in 'duh' tone.

"But it's my personal thing!"

"And I'm not taking it, I'm just checking, okay? Who would know if you just packed your bikinis and lingeries that's why it so light?" He said, checking my things one by one.

But he only saw my shorts, shirts, dress, some girly stuff and some accessories. I put my underwears under my clothes, so it's not visible to his naked eyes.

"Wow! well organised. I like it, love." he said grinning and suddenly ooked around.

"Of course, because I am Madi--- I mean, I know how to organize all my things!" I was actually going to say 'of course, I am Madi' as my favorite line, but I realized he's not one of my friends who knows my naughty side. And thanks God, he didn't notice that.

"Really?"

"I am a woman Mr. Wilsons, and a mature woman should know how to clean and organize her stuff before she can show her face in front of other people outside."

"Wow, I didn't know you have that in you. Where did you get that?" he asked with amusement visible in his eyes.

"From my loving mother! Happy?" I narrowed my eyes on him. "Aren't you going to close my bag!" I demanded frowning. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Hmm... I like that feisty side of yours, Mrs. Wilsons." he smirked and closed my bag.

"Why do you call me that?" my heart started pounding inside my ribcage upon hearing those words from him.

But he just laughed at me and continued to pull my bag.

"Because you're gonna have that title two weeks from now, love."

He opened the door and I followed him outside. I know he's just teasing me, and I tried not to smile to show him I'm annoyed.

"Do your parents know we're coming today?"

I asked when we were finally seated in his private jet. He is sitting across my seat and because he has long legs, our knees almost touch every time we move.

"There are lot of vacant seats here, but why did you choose to sit across from me? I can't move my legs!" I complained when he accidentally brushed my right knee for the fourth time.

He chuckled and settled into a more comfortable position.

-'Argh!'-

"Which of your questions do you want me to answer first?" he asked still grinning.

I rolled my eyes. I wish this side of him to be visible to all of his employees and all the people around him too.

"The second one!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Are you sure?"

-'Haist! Forgodsake!'- "Yes!"

"I want to sit here and watch you drool when you sleep." and he chuckled again.

I was a bit surprise, so I just found myself looking at him with my mouth open. -'Huh! Did he just throw a joke? Wow!'-

"Hey, I'm just kidding."

And my mouth opened wider.

"Wow! Did you just ..." remembering that he would change his mode again, I changed the question in my head. "Did you say drool?"

"Yes."

"I don't drool!"

"How do you know if you're asleep?"

"I know I don't!"

"Uhuh... let's see."

"Huh! No way! I won't sleep then. It's less than an hour to travel and I'll play on my phone!"

He laughed again. I wonder what's going on with this man as he's been smiling and laughing all the time since this morning. He seems in a good mood. And no matter how I want to ask him, I'm holding back because I already know... he's kinda bipolar sometimes and I don't want to sit here in our whole ride with a grumpy man in front of me.

"Now, my first question! Do your parents know we're on our way?"

"Yes. I already told them and they're very excited to see you. So be ready for some questions and answers, especially with my sister."

"You have a sister?" I repeated, surprised.

"Yes, younger than me. She's working in a detective agency."

My eyes widened for his information.

"Oh my! If she's working in a detective agency, she might---"

"No, love. Relax okay? We will play our role and answer all her questions so that she will not suspect anything and neither does my mom."

I sighed and leaned back to my seat.

"That's why I'm telling you to call me love from now on." Take note, he's grinning again.

"Hehe." I said teasingly before flipping my hair as I rolled my eyes.

We already talked about our 'fake story' when we were still in his car and he gave me the ball, so it's up to me how would I play the role later. A naughty thoughts came into my head and an evil smile formed on my lips as I looked in his direction.

He frowned but didn't say anything.

-'Be ready, my love'-
