Chapter 96

Carlos was seen walking in the crowded park with Triffany with a frown on his face. Triffany looked at him. “Can you at least smile?” She asked him and he walked past her still with a frown.

Triffany sighed as she remembered what had happened in the bus that had made Carlos more furious.

The bus was crowded and they had both been standing since there was no empty seat to sit, but that wasn’t the only thing that annoyed him, the one that annoyed him most was, when the bus shook, she fell in the embrace of another man.

Triffany smile and ran after him. “Carlos wait up.” She called out as she catch up with him.

“Triffany, why do you like this crowded place?” He asked her looking around. “When there is a lot of classy, less noisy place, huh!”

Triffany exhaled softly. “That’s because, this is the place I want and the place with all the fun. It’s my birthday, can’t I do this much?” She asked with a sad eyes.

“Can’t I ride on a bus, and come to a crowded pack and also ride on the machines I want to? If you are not happy then why did you ask me to decide huh!” She said with an unhappy expression.

“Can’t you do this least for me without disagreeing each time and whining? It my birthday, why do you want to make me unhappy?” She lift her eyes at him.

“We can go back if you don’t want this.” She said finally and turned around to leave but Carlos back hug her and she halt.

“Sorry I am being such an ass.” He said softly. “It’s just my first time doing all this. Being in such a crowded place and riding a bus and also wearing a matching outfit I despise.”

Triffany faced him. “Haven’t you been to a park before?” She asked him.

“I have, but it was not this crowded and as at then I was little, my parents take us here, since Gabby loves the park.” He said softly and Triffany looked at him.

“So, you don’t like it here.” She looked at him, she was wondering if it was because he was here with his parents and share a lot of memories, or he don’t want to remember the fun he had here. “We can go to somewhere else.”

Carlos looked at her eyes. “Come on, let’s go ride on any machine of your choice. Merry-go-round, or the roller coaster?” He asked her as he held her hands and lead her.

They rode on each machine and Triffany was having so much fun, but Carlos, nothing to say much, he was just happy to see her smiling.

Carlos averted his gaze and he saw something that brought an idea to him. He turned to Triffany. “I just saw something that will thrill you.” He told her with a smirk.

Triffany understand that expression on his face. “And what is that?” She asked him. He smiled and pointed to a direction and Triffany shook her head. “No.”

“There is no ‘No’ to that.” He told with a deeper smirk on his face as he reach to take her hands but she stepped backwards.

“I am afraid of heights.” She told him as she kept stepping away from him.

“Triffany, it is just a Slingshot ride, it will be so much fun.” He told her. He had watched her scream anytime they ride on a high machine, but she still smile afterall, he knew she was pretended to be scared of heights.

“I know, but no, I don’t want to ride on it.” She said and step further from him, knowing fully well that this was his payback moment. She won’t let him punish her this way.

“Triffany, I would be with you, there is nothing to be scared of.” He told her. “If you can’t do this one then you can’t have fun with me doing my hobbies.” He told her seriously.

“And what hobbies are you talking about?” She asked curiously, but still far from his reach.

“Skydiving, hiking and many more, I do go with my friend at times and it is fun.” He told her and Triffany looked at him with open lips, she have watched people jump off from planes and said it is skydiving and that is the most dangerous thing she have watched.

“And I am hoping to take you with me, one of these days. To try my own hobbies and fun activities.” He told her and she was lost in thought and didn’t know when he came close to her. “What do you think?” He asked her.

Triffany looked up at him, with an uneven expression. “I think, I am hungry now and need food.” She told him, changing the topic and just then her stomach rumbled. “Perfect timing.” She said in her head and Carlos smiled.

“Triff, Triff.” He called her name sexily. “You do know how to escape from something, don’t you.” He took her hand and kissed it. “Well today you got to decide, I am sure you’re using It wisely.”

Triffany knew how had It was for Carlos to give in to all this and she was so happy he was doing it for her, even though he complains.

“So what so you want to eat?” He asked her.

“Pork rib.” She told him.

Carlos looked at her. “We should eat steak, I know a very good restaurant.” He held her hands to leave but Triffany didn’t move. “What’s wrong?” He asked her.

She knew he was going to take her to some fancy restaurant with expensive meals. “I want to eat a roadside pork rib.” She told him with a smile.

Carlos eyes turned cold. “There is no way I will let you eat that.”

“But that is what I want.” She told him as her expression became gloomy.

Carlos held her shoulder. “Triffany, please don’t do this to me.” He made her look into his eyes. ‘I agreed to many things you want to today even if I protest, but, eating pork rib at some roadside, that’s an absolute no.”

Triffany closed her eyes. “And we are on this again. You just told me that I got to decide.”

“I know I did, but..” Carlos exhaled sharply. “Alright then.” He held her hands and lead her to a place they sell pork ribs and Triffany happily ate as much as she want.

“Take a bite Carlos.” She told him when she noticed he was not eating.

Carlos shook his head. “No thanks.” He told her. “Just eat to your satisfaction.”

Triffany exhaled softly. “A bite won’t kill you.” She told him, because it was no fun eating alone, plus she wanted to bring him in to her own world today. She hands him a a stick of pork rib. “Just try it once, you will surely like it.”

After a long hesitation, Carlos forced himself and took a bite of the pork rib. "How is it?" Triffany asked with a smile and Carlos spits it out and she stopped smile.

Carlos looked at her and walked out. Triffany hurriedly paid the lady and went after Carlos. "Carlos are you okay?" She asked and he turned sharply.

He was about to exclaim no, but seeing her sparkling eyes and beautiful face he calmed himself and exhaled softly. "It's getting late, let's go back home." He told her.

Triffany looked down. "Already." She muttered softly.

"Do you have something else you want to do today." Triffany nods still looking down. "What is it?" He asked her.

She raised her head. "I want to see a movie with you." She said softly. "A romantic one." She blinks like a cute little puppy.

Carlos smiled and then wrap his arm around her. "Instead of seeing a movie, why don't we go home and cuddle?" He said with a sly smile.

"Don't irritate me, Carlos." She said softly, knowing he was teasing her right now and Carlos chuckled.

"We have to go home now, everything is set." He told her and Triffany looked up at him in surprise.

"What is?" She asked.

"You will see when we get there." He told her and took her hands as they walked to the bus stop like a sweet perfect couple.
