Falling hard for you

"Bug? You called me bug?" Gabriel was offended by Eveline's comparison of him to a bug when, in reality, he wasn't anywhere near bugging her. 

Knowing that everyone around her constantly had bad intentions toward her, all he wanted was to be with her.

Was it that hard to understand?

After giving what she had said some thought, Eveline shook her head vehemently and said, "No, it will be embarrassing for bugs to compare you to him."

Eveline snapped, making Gabriel scowl. "Obviously, you are that bug in my life that I can not get rid of."

Though he remained silent, her words had an impact on him based on the look on his face.

"Then advise me on how to stop you from escaping from me. I told you I liked you, but you act as if I did not say that or that you will not like me back. Do you even know how much it pains me to hear you say you will not love me when all along I am the one who is falling hard for you?"
