Chapter 42

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 me, well I got this job and I have got to grab it, I’m just looking for a solid ground.” She closed her eyes for a while and opened them again.



“You’ve found one.”



“Huh!” She looked at him, puzzled.



“Me.” He point at himself with a smile on his lips.



Triffany chuckled. “You’re funny, but I’m serious here.” She turned her eyes back to the show.



“I’m serious too.” Tommy voice was sharp and clear.



Triffany looked at him in surprise, she saw how serious he was. “You are? But, how will you help me?”



“I’m a publisher.”



Triffany blinked. “Tell me you’re lying?”



“I’m not, check it up on your phone, if you doubt me.” He told her.



Triffany brought out her phone and browed he internet for Tommy Joe, and she looked up at him with a shocked expression. “You’re damn serious.”



“Yes i am.” He smiled.



Triffany held his hands with joy. “I’m so happy, you want to help me.” She smiled broadly, but soon she stopped smiling. “But, it’s only three days left for me to master it.” She exhaled softly.



Tommy grinned. “You’ve found yourself a good teacher then.” He looked down at Triffany hand that were still his.



She followed his eyes and gently remove her hands from his, she tends to touch people when she was so excited. “I’m sorry, I was overjoyed.”



“it’s okay, it’s normal.”



The musical finished and they both left the hall. “So, we’ll meet tomorrow right?”



“Yes.” She looked at him. “But, where?”



“Your house, if you wish.”



“No!” Triffany blink. “Your place should be better.” She wouldn’t want Tommy coming over to Carlos mansion, she don’t even want him to know she was married.



“Okay, my place then.”



“See you tomorrow.” They exchanged contacts and went their separate ways.



…



Triffany came back home humming happily to herself, Gabby saw her and smile, she was happy to see the smile on her face. She waved her over to the pool side. “You’re all smiles.”



Triffany beams. “I was blessed by an angel today.” She sat down close to Gabby.



“That’s nice, can you tell me about it?” Gabby crossed her legs with her eyes curiously waiting for her to continue.



“I ran into a friend of mine and guess what?” She waited for Gabby to say something but she didn’t. “He is willing to teach me more about the program. I’m going to do well on the final day of my interview.” She giggled.



“You will be having a final interview in a publishing company?” Gabby looked at her, it was the first time she was hearing about a final interview.



“Yes, I got a job offer as a publisher, but I failed the first test, the director put in some good words for me and I got another chance, but I have three days now to train and I saw an angel who would help me.” Triffany explained happily to her.



Gabby smiled. “I’m so happy for you, but, Carlos is also good in that field, you should have asked him for help.”



Triffany stopped smiling, thinking of that jerk was now annoying her inside. “I did and he made a jest of me.” She frowned as she remembered how he made her space around and his word from this morning. “He said I should do it on my own.”



Gabby furrowed her brow angry at what her brother had said. “Must he be like that.” She signed. “I’m glad you found someone who would help you out.” She smiled again. “Do your best okay and come out the best.” She winked at her.



“Thank you Gabby.” She got up to go into the house as Gabby dives into the pool to continue swimming.



Kelsey and Carlos went to the beach together, after surfing for a while and having fun till evening, Carlos drove her back to her house.



They strolled over to her front door. “Today was so much fun.” She smiled, she enjoyed every company she share with him.



“I don’t know I could have that much fun.” He said honestly, it had been a long while since he went out to the beach to have fun.



“You see, taking some time off work is really helpful.”



He moved close to her and held her waist, pulling her close to him. “At least we got to surf together, maybe next time we would go skating in winter.”



“I would so much love that.” She smiled, they were comfortable this way, so close to each other.



Carlos stare at her eyes for a while and leaned close to her and kissed her cheek. “You better head inside now.” He stepped back.



“I’m home already, you should head back.” She lift her eyes to see him staring at her.



“I still want to see you go in, it’s dangerous out here, don’t you think so?” His eyes was not leaving hers.



Kelsey looked around and back at him. “It’s totally safe here.”



He moved close to her and gave her a tight hug. “I will miss you Kelsey.”



“Me too.” She leans close to his chest. “We would see each other often right?”



“Yes.” He leans back and tilt his head to the side. “Now go in.”



“Okay.” She turned around and walked into the house as Carlos got into the car and Shanne drove him back home.



He went into his room and saw Triffany asleep on the couch, he took off his coat and tie, he took his bath and came out wearing his sleeping robe, then he checked the time.



He looked at Triffany, she was sleeping so peacefully on the couch. “it’s just eight-thirty in the evening and she is already asleep, thought I would piss her off a little.” He said to himself.



He sat down on the sofa and watched her, he smiled. “She en opens her mouth while sleeping, what a fool.”



Triffany smiled in her sleep and he leans close to her face. “See you tomorrow…tomorrow.” She muttered.



Carlos scoffed. “Who is she dreaming of? She is even smiling in her sleep.” He frowned and got up from the sofa. “Smile all you want.” He looked at the sleeping Triffany. “I will make sure you frown when you wake up tomorrow.”



He sighed and walked over to his bed, he lay down and looked at her once again, she was still smiling. “Tsk... I wonder who she sees in her dream. “



He picked up his phone and looked at Kelsey’s picture and smiled. “Goodnight Kelsey.” He switched off the light and slept off.
