A couple months later, Troy and Gabriella were planning their wedding. They both wanted it to be in the summer because of the nice weather. They took a break and were relaxing on the couch in their family room.
"So are you excited about finally getting married, Gab?" Troy asked Gabriella.
"Yes. I am overly excited. I just want to be married to you already" Gabriella said.
"Yeah I know. In two months we will be husband and wife, babe" Troy said.
"Yeah. I am going to go dress shopping with the girls. I will be back soon though. I love you" Gabriella said.
"I love you too baby" Troy said kissing her softly.
Gabriella drove to David's Bridal (do not own) and parked her car. She walked into the store and saw Taylor, her mother, Lucille, and Christine waiting for her.
"There is the woman of the hour" Maria Montez said greeting her daughter.
"Sorry I am late, Troy and I were in the middle of planning stuff" Gabriella explained.
The women searched throughout the store and picked several dresses for Gabriella to try on. Gabriella went into the fitting room and with the help of the associate came out in the first dress.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" Lucille said.
The dress was a strapless heart shaped top style with a long train in the back.
"You think Troy will like it?" Gabriella asked.
"Gabriella, he's going to have more fun taking it off of you" Christine joked.
Gabriella turned dark red and went back into the fitting room. She brought the dress out and paid for it. They all drove to Gabriella's house and helped open the door. Gabriella peeked inside to make sure Troy wouldn't see her dress. He was sitting in the family room.
"Babe, close your eyes!" Gabriella said.
"Why?" Troy asked.
"Please just close them" Gabriella said.
They carefully brought the dress in and put it in the hall closet. They went back to the family room and saw that Troy's eyes were still closed.
"Babe, you can open your eyes now" Gabriella said.
"Why did I have to close my eyes?" Troy asked.
"I brought my dress in and I didn't want you to see it yet" Gabriella explained.
"Oh. Come here" Troy said.
Gabriella walked over to the couch that Troy was sitting on and sat down next to him.
"I love you" Troy said as he put his arm around her.
"I love you too" Gabriella said sincerely.
Troy leaned in and kissed her hard. He leaned back into the couch with Gabriella in his lap. They broke the kiss and smiled.
"Do you want to watch a movie, baby?" Troy asked.
"No, I want to cuddle with you" Gabriella said trying to take his shirt off.
"Okay, come on" Troy said entwining their fingers and walking to their bedroom.
Gabriella got into bed while Troy took off his shirt and got in next to her. Troy pulled Gabriella close and she wrapped her arms around his torso.
"What are we doing tomorrow, baby?" Troy asked.
"We are having your parents over for dinner. I guess Christine's boyfriend is going to be meeting you" Gabriella said.
"Oh boy. I swear if he hurts her-" Troy started to say.
"Sweetheart, your going to be the first one that she runs to, if something bad were to happen. You just have to accept that Christine is growing up" Gabriella said.
"Yeah, I know. I guess I am just being a little overprotective that's all" Troy said.
"Christine knows that you are always going to be there for her. She just may not need somebody in that category of protection right now" Gabriella said insightfully.
Troy pulled Gabriella in close and kissed her.
"Good night, babe" Troy said.
"Good night, Troy" Gabriella said snuggling into his chest.
The two fell asleep and were dreaming of what life would be like when they are married. The next morning, Troy was the first one awake and decided to take a shower. Twenty minutes later he came out of the bathroom shirtless and saw that Gabriella was awake.
"Hi, baby" Troy said quietly.
"Hi. We have about an hour before your family comes over" Gabriella said reminding him.
"I know. You better take a shower babe" Troy said as Gabriella started to get up.
Gabriella walked up to Troy and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you baby" Gabriella said.
"I love you too, sweetheart" Troy said watching her go into the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later Gabriella walked out of the bathroom with her hair in natural curls and a black sundress.
"Ready to go?" Troy asked his fiancee.
"Yeah. Let's go, baby" Gabriella said as she entwined their fingers together.
They drove to the Bolton home and walked down the pathway. Gabriella could feel Troy getting tense and she squeezed his hand to relax him. Gabriella rang the doorbell with her other hand and waited for somebody to open the door.
"Troy, Gabriella! Come in, your just in time. Michael just got here" Lucille explained.
Troy and Gabriella walked in and saw Christine, Michael, and Jack talking in the living room.
"Troy! Come here" Christine said excitedly.
Troy and Gabriella walked over to the couch where they were sitting.
"Troy, Gabriella meet Michael. Michael, this is my older brother Troy and his fiancee, Gabriella" Christine introduced.
"Hey Troy, I have heard great things about you" Michael said.
Michael had dark brown hair and blue eyes. His smile was something that caught your eye almost instantly.
"Same about you, man. Um Christine, do you mind if I steal him for a couple minutes?" Troy asked his sister politely.
"Sure, Troy. Just don't kill him already" Christine joked.
Michael and Troy walked to the backyard. Troy closed the door so nobody could hear the conversation that he was going to have.
"So what's up Troy?" Michael asked curiously.
"Michael, I know that it's none of my buisness of what happens between you and my sister, but I am going to make it my buisness. If you hurt her in any way I swear you will never see the end of it. Do I make myself clear?" Troy asked seriously.
"Perfectly clear. Troy, I would never intentionally hurt your sister. I know that you are being overprotective but Christine is good hands, I promise you" Michael said sincerely.
The two boys went back into the house and Gabriella and Christine looked at Troy and they knew something was said. Gabriella went into the kitchen and found Troy drinking a glass of water.
"What was that about?" Gabriella asked leaning against the counter.
"Just guy stuff" Troy answered.
"Guy stuff? You didn't say something to scare Michael off, did you?" Gabriella asked.
"No, I just brought some stuff up that I needed answers to" Troy said kissing her on the nose.
The rest of the night everybody hung out and enjoyed each others company. Troy and Gabriella went home and passed out as soon as their heads hit the pillows.
