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?"
