Chapter 102

"Gabby, you are a wonderful lady, a beautiful and carefree lady at that." Tommy said but Gabby shook her head. "I can't do that to you."



"Tommy I don't want it to end this way." Tears rolled down her cheek, the music in the background fading from her ears as she look at Tommy.



"I am going back to the state Gabby." He told her and Gabby stills like she had just been struck by a lightning. "I called you to tell you that." He said softly. "I am really sorry to you Gabby."



Gabby gently pulled her hands away from his as tears rolled down her cheek uncontrollably. "Do you really have to leave? Can't you stay."



"I am sorry Gabby." He looked at his wrist watch. "My plane leaves in fifteen minutes." He told her and got up to leave.



"I love you Tommy!" Gabby said loudly as she got up from her chair to look at him and the few people in the cafe turned to look at them.



"I love you Tommy." She said more softly, like a child who was loosing her favourite doll, not minding the eyes that were staring at her.



Tommy walked over to her table and embraced her close to himself and gently pat her hair. "Please stay." Gabby beg softly almost in a whisper.



"This is for the both of us Gabby." He refrains, put down the money for the payment of what they had orders. "Goodbye Gabby." He said and he walked away without looking back.



Gabby watched him leave, still at where she stood, the lonely music in the background started playing again and this time she knew the music was just played for her.



Right now, to her, she felt like the most lonely person in the world. "Shut that music off right now!" She shouted furiously and few seconds the music stopped and she continue crying.



...



Carlos and Triffany finish taking their bath as they came out with Carlos drying off her hair, she sat by tie mirror and he blow dried her hair with the hand dryer.



"I saw that this was on your list." He told her as he lifts her hair that flutter. Triffany smile softly as she look at their reflection on the mirror. "You really love this?" He asked her.



"All ladies love this." She told him. He put down the hand dryer and picked up her hair brush as he brush her hair. In the process of brushing it, he kissed the nape of her neck.



"Carlos, what are you doing?" She blushed as she felt the hot trail of his kiss on her neck. She was about to face him but he held the shoulder still.



"Don't turn around else we would go for another round." He whispered close to her ears and Triffany blush, they had just had sex before going to take their bed and now he was talking about another.



She bite down her lips. "You aren't playing fair here." She said softly and applied cream on her face and body.



Carlos was about to kiss her again when he head his phone ring, he ignored it and moved in for the kiss but Triffany stopped him. "Are you going to ignore it again." She asked. Since this morning his phone had been ringing now and then, but he had ignored it.



Carlos looked at her and hesitated for a while before picking up his phone, he walked over to the balcony and answered. "I told you to keep my week free Felicity." He said immediately.



Triffany turned and watched him from the glass window as she read his expression, it was the same as when she came out of the bathroom and saw him answering the phone. Something must be wrong.



"What?" Carlos furrowed his brow. "Send the file immediately to my email and transfer the call to Philip immediately."



"Okay sir." Few minutes the call was transferred.



"Sir." Philip voice came from the other side of the line.



"Get me the list of investors and call a board meeting for tomorrow, I will be there at ten."



"Okay sir." Philip said and Carlos immediately hung up.



Carlos came back into the room and saw Triffany spacing around, she walked over to him when he was back. "What's wrong Carlos?" She asked him.



"It's a minor issue at the company, I had just called for Philip to arrange a board meeting tomorrow, we have to go back tomorrow morning." He told her.



She was glad that he was telling her all this, she was happy that he was no longer looking down at her. "Am sorry that this came up, our trip..."



Triffany stopped him by rising to her toe and kissing his lips. "Thank you Carlos." She said with a smile on her lips, he grins as he held her hands.



"Come on, let’s go through the file Felicity just sent. I have to fill you up into some things for your start of work tomorrow." He told her as they both head to the sofa.



Damn, this was Triffany’s happy moments, getting to know more about his work, him filling her in and she keeping herself busy by work, this was sure going to be a new start for a better beginning. But little did she know..



Gabby went over to Blake's house, it was not the first time she had been here, but now the house seems to be redecorated, but she couldn't pay more details on it since she was here with a heavy heart.



Blake who was sitting on his sofa in the living room heard the front door open and turned around to see who it was, he got up and walked quickly to her when he saw how pale her face was.



"Gabby what is wrong?" He asked her, the only time he had seen her this was when when she had fallen in love with Tommy.



Gabby started sobbing again, tears filling her eyes and rollicking down her cheek, she lifts her head to see Blake face with her eyes blurred with tears.



"What did Tommy do to you this time?" Blake asked with a furrowed brow, he knew that she could only cry because of Tommy.



Gabby was not a lady who like crying, sometimes they all think she have no emotions, but lately it have become so clear that she has one.



"Tell me Gabby." He held her two chin and raised her face to look her in the eye, watching Gabby this way annoys him.



"Tommy...he left." Gabby said softly in a choked voice as tears flow down her cheek uncontrollably. "He left for the States."



Blake knows what she meant, he pulled her into a hug, and pat her hair like she was his little sister, while she sob on his shoulder.



Few minutes later she sat on his sofa and he sat next to her, a lot of used tissue was left laying on the floor and table. "Gabby, you have to stop crying." Blake told her as she sniffles.



Gabby rolled out another tissue and blow her nose, still crying, Blake exhaled softly, watching her this was way too much for him to handle. "Do you want to have a drink? Alcohol?" He asked her.



Gabby cries more and he leans back on his chair. "How about we go to a club party and shake off these feelings?" He picked up his phone and browse through it. "Gabby I just found one, it will be a blast." He showed her the phone.



"Blake i don't want to." Gabby said and wipe off her tears with a tissue as she looked down. "I no longer want to do all those things, I have lost Tommy, now I can't even reach him."



"Gabby, remember when we talk about us being lovers in love?" He tries to cheer her up. He look at her face closely, Gabby now was no longer like the tough lady he knew. "This is how it is, we just have to live on."



Gabby face him, her eyes darkened. "Loser?" It made her remember how she lost the race earlier today to Jimmy, that was a sign that she can no longer be with Tommy, she had only want to make him see her, but now she had lost him forever.



"Blake, what if...what if I just date you." She told him as she looked into his eyes, Blake freeze for a moment, as he looked at her.



He blinks and shook his head, pulling away from her charming eyes. "Gabby what are you doing right now? He asked as he swallowed hard.



"We are both lovers in love, aren't we?" Gabby's eyes were still on his face and Blake looked after her again, his heart thumping, he could feel the heat on his palm and his cheek was getting hot.



Gabby leans closer to his face, just one breath away from each others face, her eyes looked down at his lip, and his eyes gaze at her sexy red lips, his heart rate quickened.
