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?"
Triffany woke up the next morning, she looked over to the sleeping Carlos who was on the bed, she signed. She thought she have become more than someone close to him but she is only a stranger to him.Even her feelings which she opened up to him, still all she was, is a stranger and then what was the bathing together and the sleeping on the same bed together for.Well truthfully he had been honest to her, he told her that she's like a bathtub and a pillow, and now they are even strangers. She exhaled softly.She looked at the time. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "I'm going to run late." She rushed into the bathroom, brush her teeth, took her bath and dressed up.She applied light makeup, then she took her system and the things she had worked on.She looked over at Carlos one last time before stepping out of the room and was greeted by Gabby who just came out of her room."Morning Triffany." She got the same smiling face Triffany had seen the day
"Fun?" Garrett was surprised, how can she be having fun at work, his friend was saying nonsense."Yes." He sips his wine."How?" Garrett asked curiously."Hey, Carlos!" Gabby called out. "Come join us, come on." She waved him over."I'm coming." Carlos smiles and drops down his wine glass. He looked at Garrett. "I better go now, can't keep my princess waiting." He smiles. "Let's go have fun, Garrett." He said seriously."Okay." Garrett knew that topic had ended there, so he dropped his wine glass and dive into the pool.Splash!Gabby laughs. "Gosh!" She splashed them water. "That was a great splash!""Catch!" Eric threw the ball to Carlos as he caught it."Gabby I guess you should chase." Blake smile."Hey! That's unfair." Gabby pout.Carlos threw the ball to Garrett. "Don't tell me you want to back out without a trial." Garrett wink her and moved back with the ball.This was a challenge to Gabby and
"How?" Triffany looked down at her body and then at him."Those legs," Carlos said softly as his eyes sweep her body. Gosh! You.." He furrowed his brow. "Why are your legs so exposed?"Gabby sniggered, this was the drama she had been expecting. "Carlos It's a pool party." She told her brother.Carlos touched his hair, thinking of an excuse when he got one he turned to Gabby again. "She can't swim and the swimming is over already." His friends started laughing, knowing the reason he is acting this way already.Carlos put down his glass and stood up. "Triffany, come with me." He told her."Jeez! Carlos, we know she's yours already." Eric said clearly. They believe he was acting like this because he doesn't want anyone of them to stare at her seductively."She could get cold." He told his friends and turned to Triffany. "You need to wear something warm Triffany. Like a trouser.""I'm fine," Triffany told him seriously."Carlos can
Inside his room, he lay her gently on the bed. This reminded him of the past when he took the drunk Triffany back to his house and lay her on his bed.He smiles gently as he watched her. "Hey, Triffany." He called out."You're rude." She muttered and open her eyes gently. "You know I.. love yo..u." Carlos beams to hear this. "But then.." she closed her eyes without completing her speech."Then what," Carlos asked curiously."You wanted to make..a..fun out..of me." She scoffed. "You..you.." She opens her eyes again. "Kiss..kiss." She stutters pointing at his lips. "Kiss. You rude jerk!" She cursed him. "You should have a drink to it. Why..did you tell your friends and sister..do you have..any idea how I feel?"Carlos was enjoying this, now he had the idea to get her drunk whenever he wants to hear her deepest thoughts."How did you feel? Have you ever wish to kiss me before?" He asked her, but before she could answer she closed her eyes. "Hey
Carlos arrived home to see Triffany upstairs going through her clothes. He walked over to her. "What are you doing?"He put down his coat as Triffany looked up with a smile. "Guess what?" She asked happily.Carlos put down his phone, he doesn't have the energy to play a guessing game now. "Just say it already." He said nonchalantly."I'll be representing my company in a larger company, they've already signed the contract and I will be going there tomorrow." She said joyfully."Okay." Carlos smiled to see her so happy for that. "That's good."Yeah." She turned to continue searching for an outfit. "They saw my talents that's why." She made a little dance with her shoulder.Carlos scoffed. "Don't be so full of yourself you've got no talent in what you do."Triffany looked at him sharply with a frown. "Only you think that."Carlos smile. "Which company would you be going now?" Carlos sat down on the sofa."I don'
As they stepped outside the hospital Carlos stopped Triffany, he bends down and ties her shoelaces which were still loose. Triffany looks down at some surprise."You can't even do a single thing right." He told her and got up after tying it.Triffany scoffed. "I was in a hurry that's why." She looked at him. "Why were you being so nice in there?" She asked him, he acted like a lovely husband when he was with her parents.Carlos shrugged and rolled his eyes. "That's because am nice." Who believes this liar, Triffany sighed. "You didn't have to put on the pretence, because you're not nice at all." She told him."Please Triffany." Carlos looked at her. "Enough of your dramas, we have to go pick your brother, he must be worried by now." Carlos reminded her.She looked at him. "As if you care." She rolled her eyes. "We're family". She uses his tone of words. "You can stop acting right now."Carlos smirked. "Okay then." He said nonchalantly and en
Carlos and Triffany were inside their room after Triffany had tucked Tommy to sleep. She sat down on the couch while he was on the bed.Carlos looked over at her, she was deep in thought and it was past ten. "Hey what are you doing?" He asked out of concern.Triffany looked up to him. "I don't know. I just can't sleep." She said honestly.Carlos got out of the bed and went over to the couch. "Why?""Dad is in the hospital and mom is by his side awake and then Tanner who isn't aware of any of it because I lied to him." She looked down at her hands that were in her laps.Carlos held her hands and gently squeezed them, he knew how she felt now. "Your dad and mom would be fine and Tanner, you lied to him because you don't want him to get worried, so it's for his good."Triffany looked up at him as he continued. "I do lie to Gabby too, most times, so you did the right thing. Whereas you should worry more about yourself and your health." He told h
