Chapter 55: Mom meets the boyfriend
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 in white shirt and denim pants.
He also wears ck sunsses 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 sincest 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 sunsses 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
epted 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 hisst 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''rete 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.
"Can I choose thest one?"
"Oh sure, sweetie! Call me Mom. I would appreciate that."
I was just watching them exchange their sweet and cutements.
"Love,"
I also stiffened when he turned to me and called me with that term of endearment and because we
were in front of my mother, I need to behave normally again... the same old Madi in front of her.
I smiled at him and pouted. "I thought you were busy!"
He smiled back and pulled me into a tight hug. His manly scent mixed with his cologne filled my
nostrils.
"I''m sorry. I just had an important thing to do, that''s why I can''t answer my phone. I''m sorry." he
whispered softly in my ear as he repeatedly kissed my head and my temple.
-''Yeah, I already know. You''re busy with her and who am I toin, I''m just nothing to you''-
I gulped to control my emotions. When I didn''t say anything, he pulled back and looked at me directly in
the eye.
"I''m sorry." He said, his voice barely a whisper as he cupped both my cheeks. I stared at him and I
don''t know if he saw the hurt in both my eyes because he muttered a curse very lowly.
"Damned it!"
He kissed me twice on my forehead before pulling me again and hugged me tightly. He put his head in
the crook of my neck, whispering his apology, but our little scene came different to my mother''s eyes.
For her, Gabriel was just apologising foringte and for leaving me alone on my flight.
"Ahh... you''re so sweet, my babies! Young love, sweet love," she said dreamily as she smiled widely at
us.
I pulled back and took a deep breath before trying to smile again.
"It''s okay love, at least you came."
I kissed his cheek so I can show my mother that there''s nothing wrong between us.
"So, I think I don''t need to introduce my Mom because she has already introduced herself," I said
looking at my mother who was ring at me yfully. "And Mom, for sure you already know my
boyfriend''s name, right?"
"Hmp! Don''t mind her Gab," she said grabbing Gabriel''s arm.
"Nickname basis in an instant?" I just asked myself in a very low voice.
"Muttering something, Madielyn? You can share it with us."
I bit my lips, she heard me! "Oh, it''s nothing Mom," I said chuckling. "What I mean is... shall we go
inside?"
"Oh yeah, just put your suitcase there. Someone''s gonna take it inside. Let''s go."
My Mom leads to the front door and I felt Gabriel''s hand intertwine with mine. I looked at him with a
silent question in my eyes, but he just smiled and kissed me on the forehead.
When we were inside, I noticed how his eyes wandered throughout the living room.
"Madi, show Gabriel his room first and thene back in here so we can serve him your best dishes."
she winked at me and we were about to turn around when she called me again. "Or it''s better to let him
stay in your room. You know what I mean." she wiggled her eyebrows and I heard Gabriel chuckle
behind me and my face blushed in thousands of shades of tomato.
"Mom?" I red at her but she justughed at me.
"Why? You''re both adults, you can do---"
"Oh my gosh! Don''t listen to my Mom!" I pulled Gabriel''s hand. I really wish the floor would open up and
swallow me at the moment when he''s stillughing behind me.
"I like your Mom., he said when we were about to go up the huge staircase.
"I''m sorry, she''s not a conservative person. You know," I shrugged.
"No, I said I like her. It''s really fun talking to her."
"I know, but she''s also a straightforward person. If she likes you, you will know immediately from how
she greeted you. But if not, she would never beat around the bush and will tell you personally and
immediately when she sees you." I sighed letting go of his hand, but he took it again.
I looked at him but his eyes weren''t on me but on the frames hanging on the wall as we climbed up the
upstairs.
"You didn''t tell me you live in a huge mansion and you''re also a princess."
I know it was just a joke, so I just smiled and shrugged.
"Don''t worry, it''s not just you who didn''t know about it."
"You mean, some of your friends didn''t know you live in a castle?"
"It''s not a castle. Yeah, it''s a huge house, but for me, it''s more a home than a mansion."
"But why did you choose to live in a small apartment in Chicago?"
Iughed at his question. In fact, I couldn''t count in my head how many times I heard that question.
"Because for me it''s not important whether you live in a house or a castle----"
"No, what I mean is that you used to live here. How did you adjust so easily?"
"Ahm... maybe because I''m used to living in a simple way. Yes, I grew up here, but my Mom always
told me to keep my feet on the ground. She never let me used to live with a nanny or with maids
around me. She let me wash my own clothes, clean my own room and everything a girl should know
about being a woman."
"Really?" he asked me as if he couldn''t believe the new information he heard from me.
"Yeah. Really." I smiled and nodded. "Here''s your room." I opened the door which was just next to my
room. "The next one is my room." I pointed to the next door. "So...?" I asked after he wandered his
eyes around.
"Well, it''s nice and cosy," he said putting both hands in his pants pocket. "Can I see your room?"
"And why?" I frowned.
He shrugged. "Nothing. I just want topare your room here and your room in our house."
I gulped when he said ''our house'' instead of ''his house''.
"Okay." I shrugged.
