Chapter 108

Jimmy Billy arrived at the bar where he had asked to meet Gabby and expected Gabby was there waiting for him while drinking a glass of wine. He sat next to her like he had done the night he first met her, but this time he had a smile of victory on his face.

Gabby smile when she saw him. "Did you succeed in what you went to do?" She asked, leaning on her chair, staring at his face. There was a broad smile on his lips and he was looking more handsome now, he was no doubt a handsome man.

"Yes, In fact, it was a near success." Jimmy snapped his fingers and the bar attendant served him a bottle of beer and he took a large sip, remembering the beautiful Triffany he had just seen at the elevator.

"I am glad." Gabby smile and look away, if she continue staring she might fall for this new man, but her heart loves only Tommy.

Jimmy sip his wine, he remembered the look on Triffany’s face when he pecked her cheek, the tears that had rolled down her cheek, it was like the ones she had in the hospital that day. He turned to Gabby. "Tell me more about your brother."

Gabby was surprise at his words, she look at him, he didn't ask to know more about her, why her brother. "What do you want to know?" She asked.

Jimmy raised his brow and said nonchalantly. "You know, he is quite a a public figure, I want to know how he will feel if I take something he cherish, will he fell hurt or will he turn become a monster?"

The question was confusing to Gabby, and a flash back of their first meeting came to her mind, where he told her that her brother stole something that belongs to him.

Gabby put down her drink and she furrowed her brow. "What do you mean by that?" She asked in a tune that was obviously being pissed.

Jimmy seem relax and calm. "Oh, don't stress your little head Gabby Zack, I was wondering if your brother will be offenders if I start dating you." He lifts the corner of his lips.

Gabby look at his face, she couldn't read his expression, no, he made it hard for anyone to read his expression, he was like a wooden sculpture with no expression. She calm a bit and turn to her drink again. "What do you mean date me?"

Jimmy smirk, he leans back to his chair. "Just saying." He lifts his glass to his lips, then he pause. "I bet he won't like that." He sip his drink. "Since he do take things by force, but I take mine through another means and it always go my way." He exhaled softly.

Gabby couldn't understand anything he meant, but a part of her, told her that this man wasn't someone to trust, he wasn't like Tommy who was open, the ones who hide their emotions are the most dangerous.

But, Gabby love daring things, she turn to look at this man again, she wish to have fun, to stop herself from the longing she had felt, she want to please herself, and he was going to do that for her, she also gets what ever she wants.

"Then let's do it." Gabby opened her lips and leans close to kiss him but, Jimmy smile and turn his face away. "Is this not what you want of me?"

"Oh no Gabby!" He exclaimed and Gabby furrowed her brow. He brought his hand to her face and pointed at her head lightly. "First I want to be in there and in here." He pointed at her heart and Gabby chuckled.

"It won't be possible." She lift her glass to her lips and Jimmy didn't care, what she said doesn’t matter to him. "My heart is already occupied."

"Oh!" Jimmy said sarcastically. "You see that's one thing very important." He leans his hand on the table and look right into her eyes. "Once your heart is occupied by someone, you will never be full until it is that person, you see all the others like a one time thing, but the person in your heart is everlasting."

"I am glad you know all this." Gabby said softly and Jimmy raised his brow. "Now am sure you know that I see you as a one time thing." Jimmy smile, a smile that made Gabby wonder what exactly was his deal, if she had told this to some men she met in the pass they will be offended but he definitely was not.

Jimmy know who Gabby was, so he play along, he had done his finding before he approached her, he knew she do use men, every time she comes out to a club, he also know about her feelings for Tommy, like he had done his really and found her weakness.

"Let me be your one time thing then." His words made Gabby look at her. "We all have who we can't forget, how about you pass time with me until you forget him." Gabby pressed her lips together.

"Will you make love to me?" Gabby's eyes were on his, as she searched them, it was emotionless, like an empty well, she felt nothing, it was different when she look at Tommy eyes, very different.

Jimmy chuckled and shook his head as he sip his wine. "You do know how to go straight to the point Gabby." He leans on one hand and turn his eyes to her. "No Gabby, i won't make love to you, I won't kiss you or have sex with you either..."

"Then why did you approach me?"

"First, I want to know about you before kissing you, or making love to you." Smile spread on his lips. "I want to get to know more about Gabby Zack." Gabby look at him, this was the first time anyone want to know more about her.

Tommy had met with her, because he want to forget his first love he haven't gotten a chance to meet again, at the end he met his first love again and still left, not wanting to know more about her or stay with her.

But this dangerous stranger, want go know about her, other's approach her because she look good and seducing, but this man doesn't want to have sex with her either, until he know her.

This was a tempting offer from someone she knew nothing about, yet she want to forget all about her unrequited love, her feelings, she want to go back to the time she was carefree of relationships and love.

She stare into the eyes of the man whose eyes were dancing with a mocking gaze, loneliness could make one dive into something they can't understand, and damn yes, she is willing to do it, to give it all a chance, if that will make her forget all about Tommy, even when she know it won't be easy to.

...

Triffany have had a lot of drinks and the party was still in full swing, she had taken a lot of drink than she can carry, the thought of Jimmy Billy back had caused her to loss her sense of reasoning.

Nick had tried to warn her to watch it, since she becomes crazy if she get drunk, but just like Allison, she had told him she need to have a blast.

"Oh, come on Triffany, stop drinking now, you're getting crazy." Nick took the other bottle from her. "Please don't ruin my birthday with your madness." He warn her and Triffany stop as she shoot him an angry glare.

"Do I do that..." She was all drunk and almost lost her balance but a hand held her before she could fall and Nick lips parted in shock to see who it was.

"Carlos Zack.." Nick said softly and pressed his lips together.

"Who..." Triffany asked and look up at the person who was holding her and she pause. "You..yo..u came." She blushed. She look at his outfit and it look like she doesn't recognise the person. "Huh!..you are not in your usual outfit."

Carlos was not wearing any of his well tailored suit, he was on a normal blue jean and white top with a sneakers, he was totally different and it amazes Triffany.

"Wow!" She applauded drunkenly close to his face. "You look so normal." Carlos raised his brow. "And handsome." She added as she blushed, with that she tiptoed and kiss him on the lips just like she did the day she met him at that classic hotel when they weren't married yet. "You are the man I love." She muttered and kiss him again.
