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
Triffany arrived at Chixobest company to see the angry face of the director. "It's over an hour Triffany." He folded his arm with a furrowed brow."I'm sorry." Triffany apologized."And don't tell me you ran into traffic." Director Kammy told her, knowing that workers use that always as an excuse."I did not," Triffany said honestlyElvis Daniels came out. "We better hurry now." He told them and director Kammy looked at Triffany one last time before walking away.Tommy went over to her. "That was a nice escape." She smiled as he hands her some file."Let's go." Elvis Daniels told them and they all enter the big van and drove off.They approached Glammaly estates as Triffany was shocked at the entrance. She looked up at director Kammy. "Why are we here?" She asked him."What?" Director Kammy looked at her like she had just asked a stupid question."We are at Glammaly estate." Triffany pointed at the entrance."Yes.
To Carlos surprise, she looked up at him and smile as he started cutting big chunks out and insisting he rethink some parts and gave him ideas on some of the things he never thought of adding before.Carlos was impressed and he seems to have lost this battle as he surrendered. She had finished lining out the places he knew had faults and it was not even up to an hour.Director Kammy and Elvis Daniel's smile. "Wasn't she good?" Elvis asked Carlos.Carlos unfolds his arm and said nonchalantly. "Well, she's still a beginner." Triffany scoffs, this was the person he was, so it's not a surprise to her.Carlos looked at Tommy. "I'm sure you're good at what you do." He then turned to Elvis. "I will work with them.""Thanks." Elvis smiled and shook hands with him as Carlos let them.Tommy turned to Triffany and the rest. "Am I the only one who noticed that he have a bad way of complimenting someone?""No, you're not the only one." Triffany lo
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
