Was it because he was so sexy? No wake-up Triffany! She shouted in her head.
“Come lay down here.” Carlos's voice pulled her from her thought.
“I will use the couch.” She said softly without glancing at him.
Carlos sat up on the bed, his smiles gone, only seriousness in his tone. “I told you before, your hand is injured so use the bed for now.” He paused.
“Come over and take off those nasty imaginations out of your head.” His final words made Triffany sit up.
“What imaginations?” She said without hesitation. “I'm not thinking anything.”
Carlos smiled, even if she said otherwise, her reaction had already given her away. “Come and lay here.” He pats the bed with his hand gently.
Triffany had no choice but to do as told, if she chose to stay on the couch she would be admitting to the nasty imagination he said.
She looks at him. “But, why are
Triffany sat on her couch playing a game with her phone, she got tired and puts the phone aside, today had been a boring day for her.She looked around the room, it was too big, not to say about the living room and the whole house.She was alone at home with no place to go, Gabby left early this morning and Allison is at school preparing for exams. Nick now have a job.She looked at the file in her opened laptop, editing this chapter was what will determine if she would keep the job or not.She walked to the mirror thinking her life is so pathetic but on second thoughts she poses and smiles. "I'm a pretty girl." She consoles herself with the word.Carlos came into the room without her notice and saw her posing by the mirror, he folds his hand and leans close to the door.She stretched out her legs. "I have sexy legs and collar bones." She turned whirled around. "Magical..." She saw Carlos and was startled. "You're...back." She stammered.
Carlos sat on his bed the next morning as he stares at Triffany who was still asleep on the couch. She had ignored him all through last night."So much for sleeping together." He sighed and walked close to her. He sat down across the couch she lay and watched her.Triffany opened her eyes as if knowing someone had been staring at her, she was surprised to see him there. "You're up." He asked with a thin smile.Triffany sat down and yawns with her eyes closed and facing Carlos. She opened her eyes and stretched her arms. She looked at Carlos who still has his eyes on her."You don't have to watch me sleep. A lady who loves a man wouldn't dare to yawn in his presence." She felt that he was doing all he was doing because of her confession yesterday."And about yesterday, it is a dream to me." She got up from the couch to leave."Okay," Carlos said with his deep voice and also got up. "Get dress."Triffany turned to face him with a frown.
Carlos sat down on a chair and picked up a magazine, Triffany frowned, now he was acting like a gentleman.“Ma’am please this way. You need a massage and toning.” The staff told her as Triffany followed her lead.A few minutes later, they came out, Triffany was wearing a robe as they lead her to a seat by the dresser mirror. Carlos will glance up from the magazine from time to time to look at her, with a thin smile on his lips.They finished her pedicure and manicure, did her hair and applied makeup on her face. They let her hair down her shoulders and back. Triffany looks at the mirror surprise by the transformation.She looks like the model Nick and Allison doubted she could be. She smiles, please with her beauty, she was a natural, but enhancing her beauty makes her more pretty.They drew a wardrobe of expensive, classy dress our. “Ma’am, you have to choose a dress.” Triffany turned around surprised to s
Carlos smiled and they walked over to Ethan Zack. “Chairman,” Carlos called out and Ethan turned around.“Carlos Zack.” He smiled. “You are free to call me Grandpa here.” His eyes fell on Triffany. “Look who we have here.”“Sir,” Triffany said gently as she bows.Ethan smiled warmly. “That sounds horrible.” Triffany looked up immediately, has she said something wrong. Oh no! She said in her head.“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to, or what to call you. That’s the best I could come up with.” Carlos watched how tense she is and sniggers. “I should’ve called you Chairman.” She lowered her gazeEthan Zack was amused as he looked at Carlos. “Carlos, she’s a cute wife.” Triffany looked up and saw them smiling.Ethan held her two hands. “You should call me grandpa, just as Carlos and Gabby do call me. We&rsquo
"I don't understand." Eric was still puzzled. "My grandfather must have known all these and made me get married to someone else. I was blinded by my love for Kelsey, but I have found out already." Carlos took another glass of wine from a staff that passed with a tray of wine. "You must have felt sick." Garrett who understands him said. Anytime bad things go wrong, Carlos always falls sick, but never shows it. "Well, I passed through that." He sips his wine again. "I'm fine now, so please don't bring Kelsey's name up anymore. I can't stand it." He said seriously this time. "Okay." They all agreed. "Have you told your wife about this?" Blake asked, Triffany ought to know, she shouted be the first to know about it, it could give them a chance to have feelings for each other. "Haven't got the chance to." He exhaled softly. "You should tell her so that she won't misunderstand you and Kelsey again. I'm sure you love your wife." Blake
Triffany knitted her brow as he was disturbing her conversation."I'm happy." She said to Tommy, with her eyes on Carlos who scoffed."So how is the file editing going? You know you're submitting it next tomorrow." Tommy asked."I'm done with it." Triffany smile, luckily she had finally finished editing the chapters and sure she did a good work on it."You promised to let me see it first right?""Yes." She smiled. "I promised.""We will see next tomorrow then.""Okay." She still put on that cute smile on her face, still aware that Carlos was staring at her."Goodnight then.""Goodnight." Triffany put down her phone."What's the time?" Carlos asked with his eyes staring at her like dagger and his tone cold."9:39pm." She said nonchalantly."Then why?""Why what?" She raised her brow.Carlos exhaled softly, he knew he was boiling in anger, not at her but of that friend of hers. "Why aren't you sleeping?" He runs his hands through his hair.Triffany sighed. "It's none of your business. W
Triffany woke up from hearing some sound, she looked in the direction of the door where it wasring if Carlos was there.She knew he had warned her not to come to that room, but she had to find out what was wrong. She slowly turned the knob and there she found Carlos holding the picture with his face buried in his arms, crying.She entered without his notice. "Carlos.." He looked up when he heard her voice and immediately wipe off the tears in his eyes. "What's wrong?" This was the first time she had ever seen him in tears."Why are you here?" He asked her, but she walked even closer to him. "You should be in here."She looked down at his hands and saw the picture he was holding. "Is that your parents?" She pointed at the people in the picture.This was the first time she had seen such people, there was no image of his parents in the house, she hadn't asked, since it was not her place to ask and he wouldn't tell her too.She knew they were dead but haven't heard anything about them, o
Ethan hugged Bailey who was with her son's photo, they quietly sat together the next morning on a sofa. "I still think of him all the time," Bailey said softly, still looking at the picture."So strong-willed just like his son and you." Ethan held her hands softly. "Today would be a really sad day for my grandchildren." Bailey faced him. "They will cry and Carlos would act bold and try to hold back his tears which might even get him sick."She sobs as her husband hugged her shoulder. "You should consider your health honey," Ethan told her. She was fragile and crying could also make her sick.Bailey looked at him. "Don't act so strong with me Ethan. I know you're hurting in your heart.""We have Carlos and Gabby now and even Triffany, soon they will have babies too. Life goes on." His eyes were so gentle, looking up at her face."That's true Ethan." Bailey pursed, tears flow down the corner of her cheek. "But Gabby...Gabby can she stop crying?"
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
