The question Gabriel had asked me made my eyebrows frown and my forehead crease as I gazed at him with utmost disbelief and in a bit confused. I was searching for any signs that he was joking around and simply making fun of me as his way of greeting, but I couldn't see any hint of him chaffing around or bantering nor there wasn't a touch of playfulness that could betray him in his eyes.
His features were unembellished. The looks on his eyes confirmed his puzzlement and an honest-to-goodness stare as he gazed straight back at me. With the thoughts that he is merely acting to appear serious, a loud laughter escapes my mouth as I shake my head in amusement.
"Yeah right! Quit that, Gabriel, you're not funny at all."
My head continued to shake as I walked past his bed and towards the small table where my bag was lying on top. I needed to call his father to announce this wonderful news, so he could as well be here later after his meeting.
