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
He exhaled softly. “Carlos it’s none of your business.” He strolled back to his chair, he sat down and just then he heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” Felicity stepped in. “Sir, Mr Garrett is here to see you.” “Let him in,” Carlos ordered. Felicity left the office and a few minutes later Garrett entered. They exchanged pleasantries and sat down. “Why the look on your face?” Garret asked, noticing Carlos brow was a little arched. “Someone got me offended.” He said simply. Felicity came in with two cups of hot coffee and left the office. “Who did?” Garret watched Carlos sip his tea softly. “I’m quite sure it’s not Kelsey or any of the workers.” He lifts his coffee to his lips. “Just someone.” “And you can’t tell me who that someone is?” “That lady…” Carlos exhaled sharply as he stopped what he was about to say. “Your wife?” Garret smiled as he looked at Carlos's face. “I don’t want to talk about it.” Ca
