Chapter 85

Carlos turned to Triffany, still with smiles on his lips. "Jeez!" He beams. "This is so nice. Gabby loves him and can have him." Triffany looked at his face with a knowing gaze.



"Triffany you're married to me so, don't get too attached to Gabby's boyfriend." He told her, already referring to Tommy as his sister's girlfriend.



"What are you even say?" She shook her head, cause she can't even understand why he is suddenly so happy. She took her things and head upstairs.



Carlos looked down at his laptop with joy. He had been scared that Triffany would leave Tommy, but good thing he is the one married to her.



He bites down his lips in joy. Now Gabby is in love with Tommy and his fear was not going to happen. "The world is in my favour." He said gladly that he was a lucky man.



Gabby sat down in her room looking at Tommy's picture, the one she took of him secretly on the beach. "Tommy, the person you finally found, your first love, the lady you can't forget...is Triffany?"



Her heart sinks at the shocking discovery, her eyes became wet. "Don't you know she is married?" She was talking to his picture on her phone.



She sniffles and blinks away tears. "Well...am glad it is Triffany, she is married. Now I can be yours...I will make you love me."



She smiles softly and put down her phone, she lay on her bed and put the quilt over her shoulder, glad that the lady he said was his first love was married and he can't have her again.



She gently closes her eyes, all she hoped for was that things go well for her from now on, she will meet up with Tommy and he will be hers.



Carlos went into his room and saw Triffany about to lay on the couch. "Sleep on the bed with me." He told her and put down his laptop.



Triffany looked at him surprised. "That was so direct." She said softly, but in her heart she was happy.



"No special feelings," Carlos told her, bursting her bubbles. "That couch is tired of you." He added.



Triffany frowned. "Does that make any sense?" She turned to him.



"Couch isn't made for sleeping you know, and there is a bed over here." He pointed at the bed. "Whereas you look like someone who has added more weight."



"Jeez! Will you just stop." She raised her voice as she looked at her image in the mirror, she was aware that she haven't added any weight.



"Just saying the point." Carlos shrugged with a smile, before laying on the bed, he taps his side. "Come on, before I change my mind." He told her, staring at her face.



Triffany smile in her heart and hesitated for a while before going over to the bed. "Why do you make my heart flutter when you don't even love me." She said as she lay next to him on the bed.



"I don't dislike you.." He stares at her face that was flawless and bright this night. "You're cute." He told her as Triffany looked at him in surprise, this was the first time he has ever complimented her.



Carlos closed his eyes with a smile, Triffany blush and thought to herself. Anyone who hears him says this now will think he loves her.



She looked at Carlos. "It was the first time he had said she was cute....but, cute? She stopped smiling. A dog can be cute, he would have said she was pretty.



She sighed for keeping her Hope's up, he had deceived her with his words again. Maybe she is a puppy to him now.



She looked at his face and then his lips. A kiss from him would tell her about his true feelings. She wonders if she should be the first to initiate the kiss. But on second thoughts she decided to sleep.



She closed her eyes and a few minutes later, she drifted to sleep. Carlos opened his eyes and looked at her face, he smiled and kiss her forehead, before pulling her close to him as he cuddles her and slept off.



..



Tommy and Triffany finished their work for the day and sat side by side showing each other what they have found so far before Triffany brought up a topic.



"Tommy, I have something to say to you." She told him and he put down the file in his hands.



"Me too." He stares right at her face. "But, you should go first."



"Do you know Gabby?" Triffany asked him with a smile on his lips.



"Gabby?" Tommy raised the corner of his brow and Triffany nods. "Yes, what about her?"



"Gabby loves you." Triffany beams. "She's a nice girl and it's the first time she has ever loved someone and it's you."



"Triffany, I love someone else," Tommy told her softly still staring at her as Triffany paused.



"Who?" She blinks. "You have not told me about this."



"Because that person is you Triffany." Triffany looked at him stunned. "Triffany I love you."



Triffany shook her head. "No Tommy, you shouldn't.." She tried to explain but Tommy cut her off by leaning in close as he kissed her lips, just then Carlos opened the door to see them in the kissing position.



Triffany's eyes widened in shock at the kiss and she turned her head to see Carlos staring at them, she stood up immediately. "Carlos." Tommy looked at them.



"Carlos is not what you think." She told him as she searched his eyes. Carlos looked at the both of them and left as Triffany tries to go after him but Tommy held her hands.



"Triffany wait."



She looked at him. "Let go of my hand!" She shouted almost in tears.



"Why do you want to go after him?" Tommy asked her.



"You shouldn't have done that Tommy. Carlos is my husband." Triffany told him and Tommy looked at her in shock. "I am married, Tommy."



Tommy who was shocked at the realization left her hands as he looked at Triffany's face. "And now he thinks..." Triffany said softly and ran out of the office.



She went after Carlos who was heading to his office. "Carlos." She called out when she saw him and he stopped.



He faced her. "I don't want to see you or hear what you want to say. I have seen it all." Tears rolled down Triffany's cheek as she looked at him. "Please stay away!" He turned around and left her.



"It's not what you think Carlos," Triffany said softly as she squats down crying.



In Carlos office, he stood by the large window as tears rolled down his cheek as he had flashbacks of the kiss he had just witnessed.



He called Felicity in. "Sir you called me," Felicity said as she entered.



Carlos who had his back on her, still facing the window said. "Cancel all my appointments, and tell Shanne to get the car ready. I am going home."



"Okay, sir." Felicity left the office to do as told. Carlos picked up his coat and walked out of his office, blocking every thought of Triffany.
