Chapter 95

Triffany opens her eyes to see Carlos holding up a white rose flower to her with a smile on his face and she wonders what was the occasion.

She sat up and took the flower as she looked at him. “Why?” She asked.

“Happy birthday, Triffany.” He told with the most charming smile on his lips.

“Today is my birthday?” Triffany asked as she looked at him, forgetting her birthday.

Carlos chuckled. “Your brother was right.” Triffany looked at him confused. “He called me and told me that you do forget your birthday and I see you did. Thanks to his reminder.”

Triffany smiled and sniffle the flower. It was her favourite flower and she have always wish that her husband to be will get her flowers one day, and that day happen to be her birthday.

She was so happy that she loop her hands around his neck and buried her face on his shoulder. “Thank you.” She said with a smile on her lips.

Carlos kissed the nape of her neck and pulled her at arms length. “Today is for you, so you got to decide what you want and where you want to go.” He told her and she smile.

Triffany finish taking her bath and came out to see maids in the room arranging many set of clothes in the room that were filled with Clothes for Kelsey before. “What’s going on her?” She asked one of the maids.

“Ma’am, sir Carlos asked us to arrange all this wears in here for you, they had just been imported from Spain, specially for you.” The maid said it like this was the most adorable thing she have ever witnessed.

Triffany closed her eyes gently with a furrowed brow, why does Carlos always does what he please without informing her. “Where is he?” She asked the maid, just as Carlos came into the room.

“I am here, baby.” He said with a smile on his lips but stopped smiling when he saw that she was not smiling either. “What’s wrong Triff?” He asked her.

Triffany who was still wearing her rope walked over to the couch and sat down. Carlos understands the look on her face and told the maids to step out.

“Don’t you like those dresses?’ He asked her. “I made sure they got you the right sizes, but I still tell them to send it back and replace it.”

“It’s not about me not liking them Carlos.” She looked up at him. “You don’t tell me before doing these things.” Yes he had filled the space with a lot of beautiful wears but why was she not glad, he just do what he please.

“This is my way Triff. I have a large room for my own outfits, I want you to also have one for yourself and I want you to pick an outfit for today’s outing from them.

Damn this man, never give up. Well it’s time for her to act up too, he is bossy, she too she ought to be bossy. “I don’t want to choose an outfit from that.” She told him, crossing her arms.

“Why not? “ Walked into the open room filled with the designers dress. “They all look beautiful.” He brought out a pretty flowery dress. “This should fit you beautifully.”

“I don’t want it.” She shook her head. Then he brought out another one and another one and a lot more, still she shook her head.

“Then what do you want?’ He asked her and came closer.

She smile, hoping to hear him ask this earlier. “I want to wear a matching outfit with you.” She told him and his face darkened.

“No Triff.” One thing Carlos hate was wearing matching dress, he always rolls his eyes whenever he sees couples dressed like that. “There are lots of dress here for you to wear.”

“That’s what I want, and you told me i got to decide today.” She looked up at him with a puppy like eyes. “It’s my birthday today remember and in extra to that, I will get to keep all those dress you got me.” She pointed at the room.

Carlos exhaled softly, she was not making things easy for him. He have forgotten how stubborn she was, and whereas he had promised and she got to keep the dress instead of rejecting them.

“Okay.” He said reluctantly and Triffany smiled broadly like she had just won a big lottery.

Carlos order Shanne to get them a matching outfit and soon they were dressed with a Yellow top and white trousers and a white snickers looking like what Carlos have always despise almost all his life. He was giving in to too much.

He looked at Triffany who have the most happy smile he had ever seen on her face and he wonder why she was so happy to be dressed in a matching outfit. “You’re that happy?” He asked her.

“Yes.” She smiled and accessed him. “You look stunning.”

Unbelievable! Carlos screams in his head as he looked down at himself. “All things one do for love.” He muttered and she raised her brow.

“If you don’t like it then we can take them off and we can just stay indoor with you returning those outfits.” She told him with a frown.

Carlos shook his head and forced a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. “I like it.” He pulled her to himself and pinched her nose. “Now you should smile.” He told her and she flashed him a smile. “You look pretty.” He told her.

She knew he was not so happy, but right now it was her decision to make, which was awesome. “Let’s go then.” She told him and walked out of the room.

Carlos took another glance at the mirror and closed his eyes, as he repeated in his head that he was doing this for love. He picked up his yellow cap, phone and wallet and left the room.

“Happy birthday Triffany!” Gabby hugged her with smile as Triffany beams.

“Thank you.” Triffany smile.

Gabby paused when she saw Carlos come downstairs, she looked at Triffany’s outfit and then at Carlos with her lips parted with shock.

“Gabby…don’t say a word.” Carlos told her with gritted teeth, and just then Gabby chuckled.

“Carlos, what happened to all the things you despise about matching outfit?” She said sniggering and Triffany smile. “Triffany I guess this was your idea and I am so happy to see this. You got him wrapped around your fingers.” Carlos glared at his annoying sister.

“it’s not that.” Triffany told her, knowing that Gabby was trying to annoy her brother. “Since it is my birthday, he want me to decide.”

Gabby looked at Triffany and then at Carlos surprised. “This must be love. Carlos never let someone decide for him or themselves, Especially when he is involved.”

Carlos knew his sister will start blabbing trash. “Gabby, you should just go have fun somewhere.” He said and held Triffany’s hands. “We better go now.” He told her.

“See you later brother. Have fun Triffany and do all you want today, since this is freedom.” Gabby called out and Triffany smile, waving her goodbye.

When they got outside, Carlos faced her. “Now tell me dear, what car would you like to ride, mine or yours?” He asked.

“I want to ride a bus with you today.” Triffany told him and Carlos eyes darkened.

“No, Triffany.” He placed his two hands on his head. “No.” He said firmly and looked at her. ‘I don’t ride on buses, I can’t even remember ever riding on one.”

“It will be fun, you should try it out.” Triffany told him and he shook his head.

“I won’t.” He told her.

“But you promised.” She said blinking her eyes.

“Triffany, we have many cars here, you can chose anyone of your choice and we can ride in that, but a bus is a no.” He told her and turned to open a car.

“Fine then.” Triffany said with a frown. “I will take the bus, while you ride in your car.” She turned to walk away as Carlos closed the car door and held her hands, making her face him.

He could see there was no smile on her face and it was her birthday, why was she doing this to him. “Triff. I am sorry.” He told her. “If you want to take the bus then let’s go with that.”

Triffany flashed him a cute smile. “Thank you.” She kissed his lips and walked ahead of him.

Carlos looked at her and repeated in his head. “What men do for love.” Then he walked ahead and held her hands as she smile.
