Forced Into Love
Chapter1-Wonders
Gabriella slammed her car door shut as she marched into her office building. She was late she was late! Gabriella Montez was never late. But this morning this morning DEFFIENTLY wasn't her morning. To start off she woke up late, and then her hot water had been cut off so she couldn't have a shower. When she had finally got dressed and made her way out of her house she realised that she had locked her house keys inside.
Her high black stiletto heels clicking against the floor as she made her way into her office shutting the door firmly behind her, being one of the top editors for the model fashion and beauty magazine could defiantly take it toe on you.
She plonked her folders and her latte on her desk causing some other thing to fall over but she really didn't care at the minute. She plonked herself down in her black leather chair causing it to move backwards a little from the force. A loud and stressful groan admitted from her mouth as she ran her hands through her hair.
She was stressed! Stressed stressed stressed. Another loud groan admitted from her mouth. She had never been so tired in her life. She had been up most of the night on the phone with one of her best friends Sharpay. Her and her boyfriend Zeke had a little bit of a "dilemma" As Gabriella liked to call it. Them too were always having arguments but it never mounted to anything and Gabriella new that.
But still she sat there and listened to her cry, laugh, rant and scream down the phone to her for about 4 hours while she just laid there listening and telling her words of comfort knowing it would all blow over within 3 days maximum.
Gabriella's office door flew open and in pranced the platinum blonde herself speak of the devil Gabriella thought as she watched the blond settle herself down on the brown leather couch that was in Gabriella's office.
"Good Morning sunshine" Sharpay greeted with a smile beaming off her face as she looked at the tired and obviously stressed brunette sitting opposite her.
"You seem more cheerful" Gabriella said as she yawned then blinked a couple of time to try and keep open her heavy eyes.
"Me and Zeke made up" Sharpay beamed a massive smile on her face showing off her perfect white teeth "He came round this morning with a huge bunch of flowers and apologized" Sharpay filled her in.
Gabriella just smiled knowing that this would happen. She loved seeing her best friend happy even if that meant sitting up most of the night listening to her going on about her relationship troubles or her newest shopping spree. Because she would always be here for her no matter what and she knew Sharpay would always be there for her too especially since she already had been there through times Gabriella has dealt with.
"And he's taking me out to dinner tonight to properly make up for it so now I have a chance to wear that new dress I bought when we went shopping" Sharpay gushed.
"You never need an excuse to wear anything glamorous Shar" Gabriella told her as she took a mouthful of her latte.
"Speaking of glamorous what happened to you this morning" Sharpay asked as she looked at Gabriella taking in her messed hair and not done make-up.
Gabriella rolled her eyes as she looked back at her friend "Thanks for the confidence boost" Gabriella told her
"No seriously you look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards" Sharpay commented flicking her blonde hair over her shoulder.
"Well I woke up late had no hot water locked my keys in the apartment and the list goes on" Gabriella told her
"I think I've heard enough" Sharpay told her "But why didn't you call and say you could have had the day off seen as I'm the boss" Sharpay said.
Gabriella shook her head and opens her mouth to speak
"But it's not who you are you don't always want special privileges just because you best friend owns the company you work for blah blah blah" Sharpay said using her hands for dramatic effect.
Gabriella just laughed "You Know me to well" she told the blonde as she started highlighting some information.
"But seriously Gabs you should really take a day of sometime you no let you hair down and live a little like you did before you stopped talking to Troy" Sharpay said the last part a little quieter than she normally spoke.
Gabriella froze and her body tensed as soon as that sentence flowed out of Sharpay's mouth. No one spoke about the situation that happened between her and Troy Heck they barley even spoke about Troy in front of her. She new Chad and Zeke still spoke to him, but she didn't and she didn't want to ever again. There were them odd times that she found herself wondering what he was doing what things would have been like it there 'situation' never happened. But then she reminds herself of what happened between them what he done to her and she gets that pain in her chest but she ignores it and makes herself busy so she forgets that pain and forgets him.
"You know better than to bring that up" Gabriella warned in a mono tone not lifting her eyes from the paper that she was looking at.
She heard Sharpay sigh before she saw her stand up from her place on the couch
"Fine I won't bring it up, but one day your gonna see him again Gabs and one day your gonna have to forgive him for what happened back in high school" Sharpay said as she opened the door and left Gabriella to her work.
"That is never gonna happen" Gabriella though as she got back to her work.
It was the end of Monday and Gabriella couldn't be happier. She had been working hard today answer the problem column writing about the newest fashion and beauty tips all for Glamour's next issue that was due out on Thursday.
She just couldn't wait to get home. She had got her spare key of Sharpay so she could actually get in to her apartment. And she was just hoping that her hot water had been put back on. All she wanted to do was get in have a nice glass of wine and a long hot bubble bath.
Gabriella unlocked her car and slid into the driver's seat setting her bag and coat in the passenger's seat. She put her keys in the ignition and pulled away from her parking spot outside the building.
About 20 minutes later Gabriella was walking through her apartment door (if you watch the hills its Lauren's apartment) she placed her keys on the table and dropped her bag on the floor next to it. She kicked off her shoes and walked into the bathroom and turned on the taps to start running her bath.
She walked back out and opened her fridge pulling out a ice cold bottle on white wine. She popped the cork and poured herself a glass; she took a long mouthful and sighed. She needed that after a long day of work.
She knew she was only 22 and most 22 year olds were normally out partying with their friends and having boyfriends or having many one night stands but that wasn't Gabriella. Even though her job took up a lot of her time she could still have fun. She loved her job but that didn't stop her going out with Sharpay, Taylor and Kelsi having fun on girl's nights and even with the guys. But as a boyfriend goes, at the minute she really wasn't that interested. Yeah she had boys after her and wanting her but none of them were really her type.
After finishing off her glass and pouring herself another one Gabriella made her way into the bathroom to have a relaxing hot bubble bath.
About an hour later Gabriella was out she had her hair up in a high ponytail and was wearing pink and white checked pyjama bottoms with a plain white tank top. She placed her glass in the sink and made sure the door was locked before making her way into her bedroom.
She lay down and pulling the duvet over her and snuggling her head into the pillow when she heard a banging on her front.
Gabriella glanced at her clock that read 11:47pm and frowned. Who the hell would be banging on her door like that at this time on night?
Gulping finding herself a little bit scared Gabriella got up out of bed and took the baseball bat that was near her wardrobe. Chad made her have one when she starting living on her own telling her that he needed to know his little sister was protected.
Hearing the loud banging again Gabriella made her way to the front door and looked out of her spy hole. She frowned all she could see was the back of a male figure but she couldn't make out who it was seen as he was wearing a baseball cap.
Unbolting the door and lifting the bat ready to swing Gabriella opened the door causing the figure to turn around
"Hello Princess" The voice spoke to her
