Chapter 40
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 head upstairs to the room he shares with Triffany, he sat down on the sofa across the couch Triffany was asleep on, he stares at her silently.
As if knowing someone was staring at her she opened her eyes gently and yawn, she turned around to see Carlos watching her. “Why are you there?” She asked as she sat up and scratched her hair, she yawned again and rubs her eyes gently.
Carlos shakes his head gently. “You’re ugly.”
Triffany rolled her eyes and stretched her two hands while yawning. “I’m beautiful.” She told him, one thing Triffany can boast about was her beauty, she doesn’t care if anyone says otherwise. “Next time please don’t stare at my face.”
Carlos scoffs and leans back on the sofa. “Whoever stares at your face gets bad luck.”
Triffany gave him a hard glare. “I hope you get one today.” Carlos frowned. “You said that yourself.” She sticks out her tongue.
“Wash your mouth and come downstairs.” He told her coldly. “Gabby is waiting for you.” He got up from the sofa and left the office.
Triffany stares at the closed door with a knitted brow. “He’s so annoying.” She got up and went to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and washed her face before coming downstairs.
“Good morning Triffany,” Gabby said with a smile.
“Morning Gabby.” She smiled back and joined the table.
Carlos watched them giggling to each other. “Ladies.” He said sarcastically as he shakes his head.
“What!” Gabby turned her face to look at her brother.
“You’re both acting strange, like lovebirds.”
Gabby narrowed her eyes and turned to Triffany. “He’s just jealous.”
Triffany looked down at the meals on the table. “Wow! These meals look delicious.” She smiled and turned to Gabby. “Who prepared it?”
“Carlos.” Gabby grinned.
Triffany looked at Carlos sceptically. “Huh! Him?” She blinked.
“Why? Are you surprise?” He lifts the corner of his brow as he stares at her,
“I thought people like you don’t make meals.” She leans back on her chair.
“You’re wrong Triffany, Carlos is a good cook,” Gabby told Triffany as Carlos smiled proudly. “He’s the mother of the house.”
Carlos frowned to hear her say that. “Gabby please.”
Gabby smiled. “Is the truth though.” She looked at Triffany. “I told you he would be cool today,” They both chuckled.
Carlos furrowed his brow. “We’re you both talking about me behind my back?” Triffany and Gabby laughed. “Gosh, unbelievable!” He looked at them, knowing what they meant by the laugh.
“What!” Triffany and Gabby said at the same time as they turned to look at him. still with smiles on their lips.
Carlos exhaled softly. “Just eat, but count today as one of your lucky days.”
“Why?” Triffany asked.
Carlos leans close to the table as he picked his cutleries. “Cause you’re eating the meal I prepared myself.” He started eating.
Triffany scoffed. “You’re so full of yourself, you’ve also eaten the meal I prepare. “
Gabby looked at them In surprise. “Seriously?” This was news to her. She thought they weren’t so close for that, was this the first step already.
“Yes and he ate them alone.” Triffany frowned as she stares at him in anger as she remembered what he made her do that day.
Gabby looked at her brother. “Carlos you aren’t telling me something here.” She watched her brother with curiosity.
Carlos sipped his wine and look at Gabby. “She made me meal only because she wanted something from me.” He turns his eyes to look at Triffany who was looking at him with a knitted brow. “Isn’t it?”
Gabby turned her eyes to look at Triffany wondering what she had asked for, was it for sex? Her imaginations running wild.
“But you didn’t fulfil your end of the deal.” Triffany glare at him.
“That’s because you weren’t serious to learn.”
“You weren’t teaching me, you were making fun of me.” Telling her to space around the room was not a way to teach her. Gabby look at both of them, their argument was amusing her, she has never seen Carlos this way, like freely talking to someone that is not Kelsey or his friends.
“You truly look funny, who wouldn’t laugh when you were just spacing around the room like an obedient dog while I, the master eat the delicious breakfast.” He chuckled.
Triffany clenched the spoon on her hands in anger. “You see that was all your plan.” She gave him a hard glare.
Gabby who couldn’t hold back her laughter, burst out laughing. “Gosh! I need to set up some camera, the both of you make a good actor and actress.” She grins. “Now can we eat, this was an apology for me after now you both can fight it out.”
Triffany looked at gabby. “Gabby let’s eat.” She was still frowning when she turned to continue her meal but she saw Carlos was still laughing. “Stop laughing, it’s not funny.”
“It is, really funny.” Carlos was staring at her, still grinning, Gabby watched them both with smiles plastered on his lips.
