Chapter 87

They both walked to the living room. Gabby squats close to Tanner. “I will miss you.” She said softly, looking at his wide eyes, staying with him has been fun and she had barely gone to clubs since he was so much fun to be with.



Tanner hugged her. “I will miss you too.” He smiled. She has been too friendly to him that he admires her so much now. Triffany looked at them with a smile, she never knew her brother will be so adorable.



“Don’t forget, if you want to come just let me know. I will come to pick you up myself.” Gabby told him and he nods.



“Thank you, mom and dad,” Carlos told them as they arrived at the door. “We will take our leave now.” Triffany embraced her mother and father before leaving the house with Carlos and Gabby.



Gabby got into her car and drove off, while Carlos and Triffany got into his car as Shanne drove them. Carlos closed his eyes and leans back on his chair.



Triffany knew he was going to keep avoiding her so she just looked out of the window as they drove back home in silence.



When they arrived home, Gabby block their path as she looked at the both of them. She has noticed the silence between them since they left Tanner’s house.



She looked from Carl0s to Triffany. “What is wrong? I have noticed that you both have been quiet and unusual.” More especially they are not acting their usual drama.



“Everything is okay,” Carlos told her and Triffany looked at him. she had thought he would tell his sister how she kissed the man she loves but he didn’t.



“But your mood says otherwise,” Gabby said sceptically.



Carlos exhaled softly. “Gabby, please, I am tired right now. It has been a long day.” He looked at Triffany with a cold gaze and left for his room.



Gabby and Triffany watched him and then Gabby faced Triffany for answers. Triffany looked at her, she knew she can’t tell Gabby what had happened so she excused herself. “I better head up too. Goodnight.” She told Gabby and went upstairs.



Gabby pressed her lips together, she knew something was wrong, the air between them was chill, more chill than the day she first saw Carlos with Triffany.



But all she had to do was let go of her curiosity, they were couples, married couples do argue, they will come around.



Her phone rang and she took it out of her bag, seeing the caller she immediately took the call.”Hello Tommy.” For a long time now she has not spoken to him and she was surprised he called, have Triffany told him?



“Gabby can we meet?” Tommy said from the other side of the line.



Gabby smile, this must be happening. “Okay, text me the address.” She told him and went in to change into a lovely dress, she has to look beautiful to see him. she kept smiling as she applies some makeup and perfume.



In Carlos room, he finished taking his bath and lay on his bed to sleep, Triffany took her bath and came close to the bed to join him.



“You should go back to your couch.” He told her indifferently without looking at her. “I don’t want to share my bed with you anymore.”



Tiffany's eyes became wet. “Carlos..” She tries to say something but he cuts her off.



“Please…” His voice was pained. “I don’t want to hear anymore.” He switched off his light and closed his eyes.



In tears, Triffany returned to her couch. She looked at Carlos who had his back at her. Recently Carlos had been warm to her but now she can feel his coldness.



It was all because of her, if she had only listened, if she had not to lead Tommy on, if she had worn her ring and told Tommy she was married, all these wouldn’t have happened.



She pulls her knees up and buried her face in her arms. Nick was right, she have to prepare, she has to brace herself for a divorce. She sobs silently until her body fell numb.



Gabby met Tommy at a bar and was surprised to see him drinking beer, it was the first time she has seen him drink beer since she knew him.



She sat next to him and took the beer from his hands. “Tommy stop!” she told him. She knew when someone was drinking for fun and when someone was drinking when they were in pain. And right now she knew he was drinking because he was hurt.



Tommy looked up at her and she could tell from his face that he was wasted. “Gabby is here!” He said drunkenly and hug her.



“Tommy get a hold of yourself.” She told him and pull him off her. She wants to be embraced by him but, not when he is in this state.



Tommy supported his chin with his hands and looked at her closely. “Truly you love me..she told me you do.”’ Tommy said softly.



“ I called her severally, but she didn’t show p or pick my calls.” He had called Triffany and even texted her but she has ignored his calls. “But, ii called you once and you’re here in my front.” His voice was husky and Gabby could see the pain in his eyes.



Yes, she was hurt by his words, she knew who he loves, she knew it was not her, but Triffany, still she wants to know why he was this sad. “Tommy, what is wrong?”



“I have lost my first love forever,” Tommy muttered as Gabby looked at him, she could see tears in his eyes, waiting to roll down his cheek. “She is married…” His lips quiver. “Gabby, I didn’t know… I was too late.” Tears rolled down his eyes.



Gabby could feel thorns in her heart, the guy she loves was crying for another lady, he was drunk because of someone else and here he was telling her.



He knew she loves him, but he was telling her about his first love who happened to be her brother’s wife. She wants to scream at him to stop crying, she wants to be happy that he can’t be with his first love.



But the man she loves was hurting so, she was also hurting, right now all she wants to do was hug him and comfort him, she wants to tell him that she was here for him.



“I never knew she was married to your brother, the hair of Glammaly estate.” He had to look it up online after Triffany had told him and then he discovered that Gabby was Carlos sister and that Carlos was legally married to Triffany.



“Gabby…” Tommy held her hands and looked at her in the eye. “Triffany Is so mad at me because I kissed her and Carlos witnessed it.” Gabby looked stunned as she heard this.



“Gabby, I didn’t know she was his wife, I didn’t know she was married.” Tommy went on to say. “I don’t know how I will face them. Carlos might think she has been cheating on him, and Triffany wouldn’t know how to explain this.”



Now she realizes why the mood between Triffany and Carlos was cold, now she knew why her brother was acting indifferent, just as Tommy said, he must have thought all this.



Gabby knew it is not Tommy’s fault, it is not Tiffany's fault too, no one plan things out like this. Triffany was so excited when she heard that She love’s Tommy.



She was also sure that Triffany doesn’t know about Tommy’s feeling, she Gabby was the one at fault for not warning Triffany from when she knew.



Now she also knows that Carlos anger could be because of jealousy, he was jealous that the wife he has started loving would let another man kiss her. A part of her was no longer sad.



She embraced Tommy and pat his back gently. “Husband and wife do fight and reconcile, this would help bring them together.” She told him and Tommy sob silently.



Yes, he loves Triffany, but now she was married, he won't want to ruin her marriage because he loves her, he knew that Triffany love Carlos and he won’t let his greed ruin her joy.
