She exhaled softly before taking a bold step over to where Carlos was sitting, she reached for his glass and gulp half of his wine. “What do you think you’re doing?” He looked at her with a furrowed brow.
Triffany wipes her lips with the back of her hands. “I drank wine.”
Carlos scoffed. “My wine.” Triffany ignored him, she sits close to him on the sofa. “What’s your problem?” He said coldly. “Stay out of my way. “ Triffany faced him and the distance between them was so close. “Gosh! Please, now.”
“No,” Triffany told him stubbornly, he moved to create some space between them but she mover closer.
Carlos frowned. “You hate me, I hate you, no need for contact. So move.” He ordered.
“I hate you, you hate me, we’re even. So you shouldn’t feel anything when I&r
Gabby and Tommy got dressed after the swimming as they head over to Tommy’s car. “Let me drop you off at your house.” Tommy offered to give her a ride.Gabby leans close to his car, her eyes at him with a smile on her lips. “Such a gentleman.”Tommy rolled his eyes, he knows she was being sarcastic now. “That’s the right thing a man should do.”Gabby checked her wristwatch and smiled broadly. “It’s time.” She looked up at Tommy giggling.Tommy looked at her puzzled. “What time?” He asked with his eyes looking at her.“It’s a fun time!” Gabby smiled girlishly as she brought out her phone.“What fun?” Tommy checked his wristwatch, it was eight-thirty and already late to have any fun.Gabby looked at Tommy with the don’t-tell-me-
Triffany woke up early the next day, she checked the time, it was five-thirty, she smiled to herself, this was actually the plan, she washed her teeth, took her bath and dressed up then went downstairs to prepare breakfast for Carlos- a first for her. Well she was only doing this because he had promised to tutor her, naturally she would never do this for him. She prepared a breakfast of egg, saffron, truffles bread, sprinkled buns and gold dust, gull’s egg omelette and a warm rich tea. She was good at cooking since her mother was a good cook and she have always been so attentive to learn. With smiles she brought it upstairs to the room she now shares with Carlos. She arranged it on the table and smiled proudly at herself, at least this will set him up in a good mood. She looked at Carlos who was still asleep on his bed. “it’s time Triffany.” She spoke to herself, reminding her heart that she was only doing this to
Triffany went to her family house. Tanner opened the door and was happy to see her, he gave her a big hug. “Wow, you have grown so big, Tanner.” She looked at him with smiles on her face, it’s been a long time since she had seen him.Tanner tilt his hair to the side and looked at her all over, she was wearing a yellow floral dress and light makeup, her hair was tied up in a ponytail. “You’ve enhanced your beauty.” They both chuckle.She scattered his hair playfully. “You’re funny.”Tanner frowned and glared at her. “Hey miss, men don’t like getting their messed up,”Triffany scoffed, she looked at her brother who was feeling like a man now. “Wow, he is matured too.” She smiled.“I have always been matured.” He boasted.She laughed, folding her arms across her chest. “Who do you think fixed your diapers?”Tanner’s face turned red. “That’s embarrassing.”“Got you there!” Triffany smiled victoriously. She looked around the house it was unnecessary quiet. “Where are mom and dad?”“Mom w
Triffany got home, she didn’t bother going upstairs, she ate dinner first before going into the room she shared with Carlos. Carlos was going through some files at his desk.“I’m back.” She announced.Carlos lifts his eye to look at her, he frowned slightly. “Can you please not let me noticed you next time.”“Am I a mouse?” she scoffed.“You should be one.” He said coldly looking down at the file he was going through.Triffany heave a sigh and sat on the couch. “I can’t, get that straight.” Carlos looked up at her. “What?” she asked when she notices his cold gaze that doesn’t seem to affect her.“Can you let me focus?” Carlos pointed at the file on his desk.“You’re free.” He continues what he was doing. “it would be four days remaining, I should come up with something, but how can I do that, why can’t I come up with any better idea?” She thinks out loud to herself.“Cause you think with your mouth and not your brain,” Carlos answered her question.She glared at him. “I was not talkin
Carlos woke up the next morning and prepared breakfast for all of them, he set the meal on the dining table and went to call Gabby out. He knocked on her room door. “Gabby can I come in?”“No, I’m still mad at you.” She shouted from inside the room.“I’m sorry and I prepared something special for breakfast.” He said sincerely.Gabby smiled to hear this but she still refuses to open the door. “I won’t eat.”Carlos exhaled softly. “I prepared a meal for her too, if that would make you happy.”Gabby knew he was talking about Triffany, she smiled and hurried to the door. She opened the door and leans close. “I didn’t ask you that.”Carlos smiled to see her out. “You’re going to eat right?”“Let me go and wash my mouth.” She flashed her brother a smile and closed the door.Carlos took a deep breath and
Carlos called Philip from home, Philip picked up the phone at the first ring. “Hello, sir.”“Philip, cancel all my today schedule.”“Okay, sir.”“Also, I sent you an email, process it and send the file to Mr Daniel.”“Okay, sir.”Carlos ended the call and turned around to see Triffany staring at him. “What?” He asked as he put his two hands into his pocket.“It seems you’re not going to work today.” She walked closer to him.“What does that have to do with you.” He said coldly, his eyes not leaving hers, Triffany signed and look away. “What!”She took a deep breath. “You’re so lucky, you can skip work and cancel your schedule, but here I am, dying to go to work and to find one.”Carlos smile and sat down on a sofa as he crossed his legs and looked at her. “That’s why I’m sp
As the show started, Triffany was seriously enjoying the musical. She turned to see Tommy staring at her. “What?”Tommy did not take his eyes off her. “I thought I would never meet you again.” His voice was emotional.Triffany smiled. “But we meet again.”“Yes. We did.” He smiled and looked at the performer. “So is this your favourite band?”“I don’t really have a favorite band.”“Then..” He raised his brow.She looked at him. “Why am here?” He nods. “Well,” she exhaled softly. “I just want to clear my head with this.” She said softly, she just don’t want to think of Carlos being with his girlfriend now.“Clear your head on what?” He asked curiously, the Triffany he knew was carefree, she never let anything bother her.“Well, I been given a job at a publishing company and still have to perfect myself in it.” She signed and turned her focus back at the show.“How far have you gone?” He asked.“Horrible! No where. I can’t understand a thing if I open some note to read, no one to teach
Carlos woke up the next morning, he stretched his hands and turned around to look at the couch but there was no one there, he sat up immediately, he looked around the room but didn’t see her.He got up and went to check the bathroom, but no sign of Triffany. He brushed his teeth and took his bath. He got dressed into a well-tailored navy blue suit and walked downstairs for breakfast, he looked around and still didn’t find her.“Where the heck did she go, it would be nice if I could make her frown a bit.” He muttered to himself as he sat down to eat the breakfast passed by the maids."Morning brother.” Gabby came over to the dining and pecked her brother's cheek before joining him for breakfast.“Morning, sleepyhead.”Gabby looked up at him. “I was awake before you.” She said simply and continue eating.Carlos looked at her, he was surprised that she hadn’t asked about Triffany. He cleared his throat. “I don’t see your new friend around.” He tried to sound nonchalant.“New friend?” Gab
The family of friends sat down around a big table to feast at the beach, it was already late in the evening and only the moonlight could be seen and the gentle breeze that run through their face, sounds of water waves from the beach, bit not too strong to bring cold to their skin.Triffany sat next to Carlos with his coat over her shoulders, he added more food to her plate and told her to eat a lot, this was counted as love, but to Triffany it was just a means for Carlos to make her fatter.Well, he was caring for her too much now because she was carrying their second child in her womb, and this time he has always watch over her like a hawk.Triffany added more food to Tanner and Jojo's plate as they ate in silence while the adults chat while eating, her parents were on a business trip, so Tanner had been staying with Allison and Nick, and sometimes come over to their mansion to see her, he was now a big boy and loves his space.Triffany turn her attention to Gabby and Tommy who were
Carlos got dressed quickly with Triffany, they both looked at the mirror fo cheek their outfit out. "I am good to go now." He told Triffany and look at her.Triffany smile as she checked him out as she helped him adjust his tie. "As always, you look handsome. What about me?" She turned around for him to access her outfit.Carlos eyes lightened. "Yellow dress?" He raised the corner of his brow as he ogle at her. "Dazzling...you look pretty as ever."Triffany gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Thanks for the compliments." She told him with a smile, Carlos shook his head, she had started taking the first step, but his eyes glow with glint."You call that a kiss?" Carlos asked her as she saw his eyes changed and she tried to move backwards knowing what will come next, but Carlos was fast to wrap his hands around her waist as he trapped her with a smile on his lips.He pull her close to him and gave her deep kiss that left them breathless. "Carlos.." Triffany managed to say after taken in
Nick walked into the company with his head held high, his chest puffed out and with boldness and smiles on his face, he was confident as he walked in, he had stopped by at a beauty store and had groomed himself up.He was wearing shiny well-polished shoes, a navy blue coat and a matching back button-down shirt and his hair were styled back, he looked just like a totally different person.He has browsed all night searching for how to make a lady fall in love with him, and he has found out grooming could give him a chance to be looked at or better yet admire by Katy.Smiles plastered on his face seeing his other female staff and colleagues admiring him as he made his way into the office, some of his male colleagues also turned their head in his direction and one has to ask if there was a special occasion today, but Nick smiled at them and walked past all of them, he located Katy who was clicking on her laptop.She walked over to her front and sat on the edge of her desk hoping she would
Tiffany was discharged and taken home by Carlos Zack, he kept his promise and showed up as he had promised and she was glad that he didn’t keep her waiting, although it still bugged her, what his friends have told her and who Adrianna was.Howard asked the maid to prepare lunch for Tiffany before walking into the room where Tiffany sat on the bed waiting for him to show up since he had put her on the bed and told her not to move a muscle.Carlos took off his coat and placed it on the couch before walking over to Tiffany with smiles on his lips, he moved close to her and sat on the edge of the bed. “Tell me, darling, what do you wish to do first, taking a shower, resting your head for a nap or eating lunch?” He said it in a tantalising voice and Tiffany blushed, Carlos truly knows how to treat someone nicely.“Umm.” Tiffany touched her hair and looked down at her hand. “I will take a shower first, I haven’t washed my hair for a while and I feel uncomfortable with having dirty hair, so.
The room door opened and Tiffany raised her eyes to glance at it only to see Garrett, Blake, Eric and Gabby step in, her eyes grew wide and they chuckled to see her wide gaze.“You must be surprised,” Gabby said softly as she ran close and embraced Tiffany warmly. “I miss you too.”“What are you…” She stopped her words, she was surprised to see them here all at once.“I know you are shocked, but your husband doesn’t like leaving you all alone, so he asked us to come to keep you company since he is away for some business meeting,” Garrett said as he closed the door.“He asked us to bring you breakfast too.” Eric lifted the parked lunch box for Tiffany to see as he gently placed it on the desk.“We heard you will be discharged today.” Blake sat at the edge of the bed and Tiffany looked at all of them, they were all speaking quickly and she didn't know which to answer first.“Here, eat this,” Gabby, who quickly dished the meal into a bowl for Tiffany, placed it next to her bed. “It's bon
Tiffany gently open her eyes and she squinted immediately and raised her n to cover her eyes since the light reflection that came in through the open window blinded her, she can’t how long she has slept but she could tell that it was morning and the thought of not seeing Carlos Zack before falling asleep drawn to her and she quickly turned her eyes to glance around the room just in case he has come in while she was asleep.Tiffany's expression turned pale when she didn’t see any sight of Carlos, her heart fell and she gently reached for her phone that was on the table, lifting it, she scroll through it, there was no call back from the missed call she gave him last night before falling asleep and there was no call from him, not text messages either.Tiffany scoffed and put down her phone only to hear the door crack open and she glanced up to see Carlos coming into the room, she was delighted but quickly hid it as he walked over to her with a smile on his face,“Hi, love, how was your n
Tiffany glanced down at the wall clock, she has been listening to Allison all through the day, Gabby was somewhere enjoying herself with Tommy and the hospital suck being alone with the thoughts of Carlos with a lady she knew nothing about, a lady who he has to leave to answer her calls, it was really annoying to have these feeling of being jealous.“You are not listening to me right?” Alison, who had noticed Tiffany's loss of attention, asked and Tiffany turned her eyes away from the clock and back to Alison as she flashed a smile and Alison took her hand and squeezed it softly. “You are getting yourself worried and it’s not good for the baby, you know it.” She looked at Tiffany who glanced out of the window.“I know, but, I can’t help it, it has also been over four hours since he left, he hasn’t called me or come back, it’s past nine in the evening and he still isn’t here, I hate myself for having this crazy feeling.” She said softly and Allison patted her hand and Tiffany turned to
Nick scratched the corner of his hair as he licked his lower lips, rubbed his sweaty palm together and exhaled sharply before pushing the glass door of the office he was working at.He swallowed hard and his eyes darted to the left corner of the room. It was lunch break and everyone had left already, but only a lady in a white shirt and pale blue straight skirt sat down by her desk making the most astonishing game ever.Her lips moved, her eyelashes flickered on the screen of the monitor and her fingers clicked on both the keyboard and the mouse.Nick stood there staring at her for a while, her long hair that falls perfectly behind her back and her feet that dance to the beat of imaginary music, Nick's lips curled up, he swallowed hard as his eyes settled on her lips that moved softly, her rosy flawless cheek, she was like an angel and never in his life did he believe that some lady could sweep him off his feet.How he met her was a mystery, she has come to the company two weeks ago a
Alison walked into the VIP room at the hospital where Triffany sat with her phone in her hand scrolling it idly."Triffany, what are you up to?" Alison has come in and noticed that Triffany was too focused on her phone to know that she was in there and Triffany quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Alison."You are here," Triffany said softly letting out a sharp sigh.Alison drew out the chair beside the bed and sat down as she looked at her cousin sister. "Why do you look so pale?" She asked and held Tiffany's hands as she rubs them softly. "Do you still feel unwell?" She questioned as a worried line appeared on her brows but Triffany shook her head and put down her phone.She patted her lips to fill Alison about what had happened with Carlos and how he had left immediately he came in just because a lady had called him, but she pressed her lips together since it may not be what she was thinking that it was, it was too early to jump into conclusions and Alison was also going to say t
