A/N: So, this chapter is going to focus on Gabriella. You guys are gonna be shocked in this chapter... but I know you'll love it, :D
Gabriella laid in bed, staring at the left side, of the huge California king mattress. The left side was the side next to the window. It was empty. It was Troy's side. She missed him like crazy. It was two in the morning and he still wasn't home. She thought about calling him, but then again he was on an assignment. She didn't want to bother him. Then she thought about doing it anyway to make sure he was alright. She settled on texting him.
She typed in her message getting ready to press send, when she heard a set of keys getting put down on a table. She quickly got out of bed, making her way out the door, down the stairs, and she jumped on the figure standing in the middle of the living room. Before Troy could talk, Gabriella kissed him passionately, her legs wrapping around his torso. taking Troy by surprise. He could feel her body tensing up as she continued kissing him. He pulled away, staring at her in the darkness, "Babe...what are you doing up? Its really late?", he whispered as he felt her grip tighten around him. "I couldn't sleep and I was worried about you.." He smiled lovingly at her, his hands resting on her lower back, "Well, no need to worry now. Why don't we go upstairs? You can get in the bed, and I'll join you as soon as I get out of the shower.", Gabriella nodded as her feet touched the ground. She started walking up the stairs with Troy following right behind her.
After Troy had showered, and got dressed in his boxers for sleep, he laid on his side of the bed. His arms making their way around Gabriella's petite body. "I love you.", he whispered in her ear. She whispered her reply. Before they both drifted into sleep.
The next morning Gabriella arrived at work. She was rather moody. She didn't like the feeling. All she could think about was Troy and how much she loved him. How much she didn't want him to get hurt. She felt as if she was becoming too...clingy. As if the only thing she was good for was holding on to him for dear life. She made her way up the elevator, dreading the day before it started.
She walked into the office, her partner and best friend Taylor McKessie was waiting for her. "News, news, and more news.", she said, Gabriella sensing a little bit of...worry in her voice. "No assignments, Troy sent you flowers again, hibiscus, and new boss." Gabriella frowned, "Who is he?" Taylor frowned along with her friend, "You hate him." Gabriella's eyes widened. "No, you don't mean..."
"Yes, your high school sweetie...Brian Clark."
"Why? Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?"
"Gabs, calm down, this isn't that serious. He's just an ex."
"An ex that broke my heart!"
"Yeah, but you have Troy now. There's nothing to worry about, and if Brian tries anything funny, Troy would snap him like a twig." Gabriella smiled at her friend's attempt of making her feel better. "Thanks Tay, but that last thing I need is my husband in jail." their office phone rung and Taylor picked it up, as Gabriella looked at the flowers sitting on her desk. Everyday their was a new bouquet of flowers waiting for her. Everyday they we're one of her favorites. Sunday was hibiscus, Monday was red roses, Tuesday was lilies, Friday was daisies. She read the card which was short and sweet. A year and two days plus forever and beyond equals my love for you. -Troy. Her attention was ripped from the beautiful note by Taylor giving Gabriella a look. That look said 'I'm so sorry'. Gabriella frowned as she made her way to her old and now new boss' office. She knocked, heard a come in, and walked in slowly.
"You wanted to see me?", she asked slowly as he came into eye contact with her ex. He smiled, and she got more sad as she felt her knees weaken a little. She pictured Troy in her mind, instantly becoming strong again. "Aren't you glad to see me?" he asked, his voice sounding happy. She rolled her eyes, and sarcastically said, "Yes, I'm thrilled to see you. Especially when I haven't heard from you in six years."
"So how's it been going for you?"
"Amazing actually. Senior year I got transferred to East High, me and Taylor and then in college I met someone. We've been together for five years now. Including the one we've been married."
"Married, huh? Who's the lucky guy?"
"Joseph."
"You kept your last name?"
"Yeah, we decided to be different and have him change his last name."
"I see. Do I get to meet Joseph? I would love to see who my darling is married too now."
"I'm not your darling anymore. Plus I don't know how Joseph would act to meeting you."
"You think your husband would be jealous?"
"Of you? No way. I'm just not sure if I'll hold him back from kicking your ass."
"Why would he have to do such a thing?"
"Easy, you try one stupid attempt to get me back and your dead, I mean it."
"Okay, if you say so Gabriella... just remember you never forget your first love. Your dismissed."
"You never forget your first love? How pathetic." Taylor said watching as Gabriella typed furiously on her laptop. "I know right, I hate him so much. I wish he could just go somewhere."
"You wish who could go somewhere?". A voice called out, walking into the office. Gabriella's eyes widened...
:D
:D
:D
I was going to do a cliffhanger, but you guys have been so good to me...
"Joseph! What are you doing here?" She asked getting up and hugging him tightly. "I thought I'd bring you lunch, since I'm not working today."
"Why aren't you working today?"
"Chad lost track of our guy, so yeah... hey Taylor." Taylor smiled, waved and turned to Gabriella. "I'm going to go out, I'll be gone for an hour, have fun you two. But Joseph, not too much fun.." They waited until the door was closed. Gabriella moved her lips across his. Making it hard for both of them to breathe.
Gabriella pulled away, breathless. "Did you miss me that much?", Troy asked picking up a takeout bag from a chair. "Yes, I did." Gabriella said grabbing the bag and pointing towards her desk, Troy sat in the seat across from Gabriella's. She started unpacking their food. "How did you know? I've been craving Johnny's Big Apple pizza all week." She giggled as she took a bite out of the slice. "Well, I do know you like I know the back of my hand. Plus you talked about it in your sleep."
"I talk in me sleep?", she asked feeding him a piece of pepperoni. "Yeah, you say very interesting things."
"Like?"
"Well, how you crave Big Apple pizza...how you love your job, and...you don't want me to leave you..."
"I said that?"
"Yeah, why would you think I would leave you?"
"I don't know, I guess I had a bad dream that day."
"Oh...okay."
"We have a new boss..." Gabriella blurted out. Troy looked at her, "Really? What's their name?"
"Brian Clark..."
"That name sounds familiar...oh.."
"What?"
"Your ex, Brian Clark?"
"Maybe..."
"Gabriella, I'm going to ask you again... your ex Brian Clark?"
"Its no big deal Troy. I promise you."
"This dude broke your heart in high school, and its no big deal?!" he started to raise his voice. "Troy, calm down, I promise you there is nothing to worry about." She said with her hands on either side of his face. She leaned in pecking his lips slightly.
A/N: So what do you think? I like it, but I just want to tell you....the drama starts next chapter.. [:
