Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Clairessa’s POV

Chapter 95: Taking No Chances

Gabriel glanced at his phone. His face tightened–it was obvious the call was important. His thumb hovered over the decline button, ready to ignore it.

I placed my hand on his chest and whispered, “It’s fine. You can answer it.” My voice was soft, reassuring.

His jaw clenched. “Not a chance. I’m not leaving you alone in this place.”

I let out a small laugh, tilting my head.. “Gabriel, it’s the VIP section. We’re practically the only ones here, and Sergio and Raquel are just over there.” I

gestured toward the couple, still wrapped up in their own world. “You can take your call, and I’ll just be dancing until you’re back.”

His gaze burned into mine. “Not a chance in hell.”

Before I could protest, he let out a low groan, then grabbed my hand, pulling me toward the private seating area. He leaned down, whispering something to Sergio, who briefly glanced at me before signaling one of the bodyguards. The man moved closer, his presence a silent command.

Gabriel turned back to me, his lips brushing against my ear as he murmured, “I’ll be back shortly.”

Then, with one last look, he strode off.

Raquel slipped in beside me, a smirk playing on her lips as she settled into the seat. Her fingers toyed with the rim of her champagne glass before she turned to me, eyes twinkling.

“I hope you’re having a good time,” she asked, bumping her shoulder against mine.

I grinned, still feeling the warmth of Gabriel’s lips on my skin. “I sure am. And congratulations again.”

Raquel sighed dreamily, her eyes shining with disbelief. “It still feels so surreal,” she breathed, holding up her hand so her ring sparkled under the dim lights. “Thank you for everything,” she murmured, her voice full of

emotion.

I smiled. “I really didn’t do much. Sergio had it all planned.” My gaze dropped to her ring, and I let out a low gasp. “Your ring? It’s… stunning–and definitely expensive,” I gushed, admiring the sparkle.

Raquel grinned. “It’s diamonds, and you know what they say…” Her voice was filled with happiness. Then, her eyes swept over me, taking in every detail. “And that dress…on..you… God, Claire. I told you it would be a showstopper.”

I chuckled. “You did. Gabriel almost lost his shit when he saw me in it. And to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever worn anything this revealing.”
