Chapter 90
He looked down at her. "Morning Triffany."
"Morning Carlos." She smiled and hugged him closely. "Is this a dream or reality?" She asked, she still doesn't believe all of this happened., he doesn't know he would ever love her.
"There is only one way to find out." He leans close and kissed her lips softly.
Triffany smiled. "It is real."
"Yes, it is." He held her close to him, making her head rest on his chest. "Let's stay like this for a while."
"We would be late for work." She told him, though she loves the thought of staying this way with him.
"I am the CEO remember." He told her with a smile.
"But still..." She wanted to protest but he kissed her lips to shut her up.
"I want to stay like this for a while with you." He told her and cuddled her and she blushed, truly he loves her, but she doesn't know when it started.
"You love me this much?" She asked.
"No." He told her and she looked up at him with a frown, as he suddenly turned cold. "I love you more than my company."
"Only more than your company?" She asked, not too pleased cause it was less than average.
Carlos looked at her face. "If I say more than my life then it would be a lie." He told her and she was happy that he was honest. "But, I will protect you with my life."
Triffany smile, she was happy now, happy to be this close to him, happy that he loves her. Happy that he wants to stay with her. But still, she has to go to work. "I have to go bathe."
She was about to get up but he held her back. "Let's bathe together." He told her.
"No." She sat up immediately and pulled the quilt to cover her nakedness.
"Why?" Carlos looked at her in surprise. "I have seen all your body already and you are my wife."
"I don't want to bathe with you." She told him and left the bed still with the quilt covering her body. She has a lot to imagine in the bathtub and she doesn't want him to see her blushing to herself in the mirror.
It had been her first time having sex and it was with a husband who loves her, she was so happy. He knew she has to say something to make him stop.
"I don't love you again." She said and rush into the bathroom before he could get up from the bed.
"What! You don't love me?" He asked as he looked at her. She peered her head out of the bathroom and stick out her tongue at him before locking the bathroom door.
"What now?" Carlos smiled at her childish behaviour. He looked at the bed and noticed the stain of blood. He smiled, he was the one who took her first time.
Not only was she lovable, but she was also reserved, he will surely love her all his life. He smiled to himself as he sat down on the sofa.
Shanne drove Carlos and Triffany to the company together, this has been something Triffany have wished to always do with her husband.
Having Carlos love and treat her this way was like a dream come true. She still feels all that was happening right now was a dream.
When they arrived at the company, Shanne opened the door and they both step out of the car.
Carlos took Triffany's hands and she looked at his surprise. "You should let go of me now." She whispered. She won't want a case where all eyes will be on her.
Carlos smiled and held her hands firmly, she looked up at him knowing what this implies. "No, you are my wife, not my girlfriend."
"I don't care if the world knows.." He pauses. "Well, I am sure they do." He winks her. "Let's go." He dragged her along.
They entered the company as his staffs looked at them, some were smiling while some whispered to each other.
Triffany could hear some of the staffs saying how lovely the two fit each other. She smiled because they were also admiring her, but she knew they were mostly admiring her husband.
She heard some say how much Carlos love his wife, she began to blush as they walked into the elevator heading up.
Carlos looked up at Triffany. "Why is your face so red?" He asked her, seeing how much she was blushing.
Triffany pressed her lips together to stop herself from smiling. "I am not blushing." She told him and look away.
"I never said you were." He told her and smile, he used the tip of his finger to turn her face to face him. "You're more pretty than the other ladies out there." He told her.
Triffany looked at him, how come he knew her inner thoughts. Whenever she is with him, she thinks she was not beautiful, since he was so outstanding and handsome.
Carlos leans in to kiss her but Triffany turns her face. "Carlos, what if someone comes."
Carlos smile. "Don't worry, this is my private elevator, no one can come."
"But, we are almost late for work, and I have a lot to do today." She started to say, but Carlos pulls her close to the wall.
"You can do that later.." He whispered and she blushes, Carlos can be romantic some times.
She closed her eyes as he kissed her lips, softly at first and then deeper. "Carlos..." She called out his names as he leans down and kissed the nape of her neck.
"We better round-up with this project and go for a long vacation." He whispered in her ear. He leans in and kissed her lips again.
Beep!
The elevator door open and they tear apart. Triffany straightened her hair and Carlos help her, she smiles and they step out of the office.
"Good morning sir, good morning ma'am." Felicity greeted them.
“Morning, Felicity,” Carlos told her and Triffany flashed her a smile.
Triffany turned to Carlos. “I better head to my office now, I think everything is set for finalizing the project.”
She also wants to be done with the article and the project, in other to go on vacation with him, her honeymoon wasn’t romantic, since they had no feelings for each other then.
She turned to go but, Carlos held her hands and whirls her around to face him. “I want to stay with you a little longer.” He told her softly.
Triffany glanced at Felicity who pretends to be immersed in her work. “We are at work now, Carlos.” She told him in a reminder.
“I don’t care.” He told her with a cheeky smile on his lips.
“I do.” She told him seriously this time.
“Okay then.” He kissed her on the forehead. “You are beautiful, give today your best shot. Good luck!” she smiled and walked away as Carlos went into his office.
Felicity smiled. ”They are so cute, I am jealous but, happy for them.” She said to herself.
Tommy and Triffany were busy today as they finished the article and submitted it to Carlos. He went through it and admitted that it was good to be published.
