The next few days were like a blur, the young woman and her father went out looking at homes and had found some that were fairly nice. Today her father was at work, her mother was out and the young woman was at home with her brother.
"Alex! I'm going to go out for a few minutes, do you want to come?" Alex, her brother came halfway down the stairs.
"Sure where are we going?" Alex proceed to put on his shoes and head out to the car.
"I have to run to the post office, some stuff for work was sent and I need to pick it up." The woman grabbed her purse and followed Alex out to the car.
Alex was now sitting in the back seat, and the young women was just about to get into the car when she heard her name.
"Gabriella Montez is that you?" Gabriella turned around only to one face to face with her best friend from high school.
"Taylor, hi..." Taylor jumped out of her car and walked over to Gabriella.
It had been a while since Gabriella had seen anyone from high school. She hadn't kept in touch with anyone except for Sharpay who had ran into Gabriella on a trip to New York. It hadn't bee a choice not to keep in touch with her friends, when Gabriella had first moved she had kept in touch with all her friends but eventually everyone lost contact.
"Gabriella I can't believe you're here! Are you visiting?" Taylor kept a distance between her and Gabriella so that Gabriella didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Actually I just moved my business out here plus I'm here for Sharpay's wedding." Taylor looked a bit surprised at this comment.
"Sharpay's wedding? How did you know about that?"
"Well she was in New York last year and we ran into each other, we've kept in touch ever since and I got a phone call a couple months ago about the good news." Gabriella smiled.
"So that's where you've been hiding, New York. Well Sharpay did say she had a surprise for everyone at the wedding."
"Yeah I've been in New York for the past 2 years, plus I've lived in Paris, Italy and Australia." Gabriella put her purse in the car and turned back around to face Taylor.
"Wow! You got around, well it was nice seeing you but I've got to get going. I have some chores to do at home. You should give me a call and you can come over for dinner soon." The two girls exchanged numbers and Taylor drove off.
Gabriella returned to the car where Alex was waiting for her. She started the car and backed out of the driveway. Alex being as patient as he was waited a good amount of time before he asked who his sister's friend was.
"Gabby, who was that you were talking to at home?"
"Oh, that was one of my old friends from high school her name's Taylor." Gabriella sighed remembering some of the fun times they had.
"Taylor, mommy talks to a girl named Taylor almost every week. I think her and dad went for dinner at their home one night." Gabriella's interest peaked when Alex said the word their.
"What do you mean their house? Taylor's not married, at least I don't think she is. I'm positive Sharpay would've told me about that."
"I think her boyfriend lives with her when he backs back at the end of the season." Gabriella was intrigued now.
"What does this boyfriend do that involves him being away so much?" Gabriella asked as they pulled into the post office.
"I think he's a basketball player, him and his friends all play for some basketball team. They come home whenever they get a chance." Alex got out of the back seat and followed his big sister into the post office.
Gabriella picked up 2 packages that were for her new office, then her and Alex returned home. They decided that since they were the only people home and it was getting later, they should start making dinner. Since Gabriella's mom had the other car she had to pick up their father from work. Her dad had been nice enough to let Gabriella have his car so that she could get around. She promised him just like she had promised her mom the she would only need it for a few days until she bought a car.
Alex and Gabriella made pasta with tomatoes for dinner and when their parents got home they all sat down for dinner. The family talked about their day and then everyone got ready for bed considering it was quiet late.
Gabriella remembered that she had to talk to her mom about Taylor and who she was dating and ask her about all these basketball players in town. But that would all come tomorrow as Gabriella snuggled up in bed and fell asleep.
