"Oh."Gabriella giggled. A very sudden craving for chocolate ,huh? That happens to her... a lot. She reached into her jeans pocket and pulled out a King Size Hershey's bar. Gabriella needed two or three of those in her pocket because she never knew when those cravings would come. And when they did no one should be around her.
Troy's mouth became extremely watery as Gabriella pulled out the chocolate heaven. Hershey's was everybody's favorite. He inwardly whimpered as she opened the wrapper to reveal the brown delicious blocks which Troy was desperate for right now.
"Here" she said. She lifted her hand in a gesture that signals for Troy to take the bar. His eyes widen at how nice she was being while Gabriella was wondering the same thing. He slipped the bar out of her hands and smiled with such gratitude. He took a bite and rolled his eyes back and eye lids closed for him to experience the maximum amount of pleasure that was invoked in him. The taste of chocolate was overwhelming as it melted astonishingly in his mouth. The famous taste of cocoa pleasured his digesting system slowly decreasing the craving. Gabriella too got one out and began munching on it. The two sat there across from each other in silence until both of them finished their chocolate.
Troy spoke first after he swallowed the last bit of pleasure he needed. " Does everyone get eager for chocolate whenever they look in your eyes". What the heck?! Why the hell am I flirting with her?!
Gabriella giggled. "No." She said smiling. " I get them a ton but not other people. You would be the first" she explained. Troy chuckled and looked down. Silence.
Each inwardly groaned. How hard was it to start another conversation. A little too hard when the person you are trying to start a conversation with is the one you hated an hour ago. Troy and Gabriella thought. Gabriella lifted her self up and turned around. Troy followed her actions. They started walking the opposite direction slowly each wondering intently how they were going to get themselves out of there.
"Wait!... Troy" Troy spun around , delighted that he didn't have to start it. She looked down. Her black hair framed her face beautifully. Maybe Troy could like that perfect face. She looked back up , with a hopeful face.
"Look...er..."she took a deep breath. "I don't think the position will last so long. So I think" Gabriella hesitated to say it. "... we should ..." She looked at Troy in the eye messaging to him what she wanted to put in words. He understood and nodded. Neither of them wanted nor knew to put this in words. More silence.
"Ugh! Why is this so hard?!" Gabriella whined. She smacked her her head with her own hand.
"I have no clue" Troy shook his head. That was it. Gabriella sprinted her self towards Troy and wrapped her hands around his neck pulling him into a hug. Troy welcomed her in gladly.
The goose bumps on Troy and Gabriella's arm disappeared at the new warmth they had created from skin contact. They stayed like that breathing in each other's scent, holding on. Kay, I admit it, I like it here. God no, I love it here. Troy thought as he slightly tightened the grip on her waist. Goodness, I wish I had a pause button... Gabriella thought.
One minute 56 seconds... One minute 57 seconds ...One minute 58 seconds...One minute 59 seconds... 2 minutes... 2 minutes and...argh
Gabriella pulled back. 2 minutes and 30 milliseconds. That was probably the longest, most enjoyed hug Troy had ever gone through. He made a mental vow... No more silence.
"Hey I'm Troy Bolton" Troy smiled and stuck his hand out for a shake. Gabriella giggled and took it.
"Gabriella Montez... Nice to meet you" she smiled and winked at Troy. Lost in each other's eyes they didn't notice Roger standing in the hallway entrance. Nor did they notice their hands still in there slow greeting shake. A low cough was heard. They turned around and saw Roger standing there a little smirk on his mouth. Hands are still tangled.
"You want that position? Or are you gonna hold on to each other like that forever" Roger's eyes landed on their hands. Gabriella and Troy looked down and snatched their hands away.
"Your flight back to DC is in a half an hour" With that they left room and exited Albuquerque's FBI headquarters heading fort he nearest cab going to the airport for the second time that day.
"How do you know Uncle Roger" Troy asked once the were seated and belted on the plane. Gabriella smiled. "Papi, is the only family I have." Troy smiled a little. He barely had a family other than him too. " He's my god-father" she cleared up for Troy. Troy formed his mouth in an 'o' showing Gabriella that he understood. "You?" she asked.
"He was my dad's best friends. I guess I called him that from the start" Troy watched Gabriella look out the window.
"Was?" she asked tearing her gaze from the window to Troy. He nodded.
"Was" he confirmed. "I don't know if he keeps in touch or not. I have no clue who my parent's are. Is it nice having them?" he asked.
"I would know."Gabriella told him glumly. She looked down at her hands.
"Oh" they stayed quiet for a few moments. "It's funny we hated each other when we are so much alike" he chuckled. Gabriella giggled and nodded. Their minds wandered to their mission. Gabriella's stomach flip flopped. Leah was such a innocent , she didn't deserve any of this. Which arrogant mind did this evil action. Troy exhaled and leaned his head back. What if they were too late. Leah had already gotten a death threat. Gabriella's hand began shaking her hand vigorously against the arm rest. Troy smiled slightly and lifted his arm on top of hers calming it down. He laced his fingers with hers and kept them there.
"She'll be okay" he looked down and mumbled. "hopefully". Gabriella squeezed his hand for a second. She smiled at him. " We'll do this".
Gabriella had no clue that her enemy of 16 years, would be destroyed and become her friend in just one day. She looked out the window looking at the dark night hover over her last glimpse of Albuquerque. She leaned back on her seat keeping her awareness on her hand which was tangled with Troy's. Sparks shot up her veins which were surprisingly soothing enough to put Gabriella asleep on Troy's shoulder. He turned his head and watched her sleep. Gabriella's chest lifted up and fell from her slow rhythmic breathing. Troy smiled when he saw her face rest his shoulder. Her eyes closed lined with no make up showing off their natural beauty. Her pink lips and looking so soft. Troy just want to reach down and kiss them. Whoa there Romeo... you did not just think that. You hated her yesterday remember?! Just friends.. your just friends... at least that's what sh-we thinks... don't get any ideas Bolton. He thought as he slowly lost the urge to touch Gabriella's lips with his. He needed something else to do... so he just leaned on her head back and lulled himself to sleep.
"Favorite Color?" Gabriella asked. The two teenagers decided to get to know each other on the last few hours on the flight. Troy smiled.
"Orange" he replied. "You?"
"Green" Gabriella smiled.
"Favorite type of food?"
"Any where around the world" Gabriella looked Troy to seek his answer. He nodded sighing to her that he was the same, then smiled. "Your turn" he said to Gabriella.
"Okay last one...Favorite Movie?"
"The Dark Knight"
Gabriella giggled. Typical. "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
Troy chuckled and looked at Gabriella once again. She looked back.
Gabriella never felt so lost anywhere more than right now in Troy's eyes. Her stomach churned tighter. Her heart raced as her lips unconsciously led her head closer to Troy's.
"We will be landing in 5 minutes so now would be a good time to adjust your seats back to their normal position and buckle your seat belts back in,".
Ah another classic interruption. Troy thought as a very low groan was erupted from his throat.
Gabriella grew more nervous to come back to DC. Troy and her had just started to become friends but that doesn't mean there was no chance to mess up again. She closed her eyes and waited for calmness. Suddenly , the plane shook vigorously and plunged down forcefully. Gabriella's heart skipped beats and her hand clutched Troy's hand for dear life. But as soon as the turbulence started it had ended no matter how much Troy loved Gabriella holding Troy's hand. She let go and listened to everyone catch their breath.
"Sorry for the intermediate turbulence there passengers. The weather in DC is pretty harsh tonight so stick out that umbrella. We will be landing soon. Thank you for joining us on United Airlines." a cheery voice on the intercom spoke.
Gabriella and Troy's nervous level was notched up another step. Gabriella squeezed Troy's hand as a substitute for screaming her head off ( and everyone else's ears). Troy chuckled as his hand began to grow number.
"A true confession about your self?!" Gabriella asked trying desperately to keep her mind off of Leah. She took a sip of her water and threw the glass away.
"I'm a virgin" Troy said calmly. Gabriella stopped. All thoughts of Leah's condition She put her hand to her heart and swallowed her water. She started to laugh.
"Good one Troy... For a moment I thought you were serious" She continued to laugh.
"No. I'm serious I. Am. A. Virgin" he said pronouncing the words carefully. "You're not?".
Gabriella clapped her hand to Troy's forehead. " Are you okay Troy? I think it's the chocolate. Its been in those pocket for a couple of days". Troy chuckled.
"I'm fine , Gabriella. And I am serious. You're not a virgin?" Troy assured to her.
"Wow..."Gabriella said and leaned back in her seat. "I mean yes I am virgin" Gabriella said. It was the truth Gabriella was a virgin. No denying that.
"Oh great... the whole school is gonna know that next week" he winced. Gabriella laughed at how worried he was at his reputation.
"Don't worry no one is going to know... I know where you stand" she promised. If people know Troy is not a virgin ... well there goes his secret of being in the FBI. "Is the reason you are still a virgin because you are dedicated to the FBI?" she asked one last question.
Troy looked at her ,smiled and nodded. "And... I am not that good at keeping secrets when I am under pressure" Gabriella giggled.
The flight eased down some more onto the airport road until finally they landed with a thud under their seats. Gabriella and Troy smiled. They were going for their second chance.
Troy's fingers hooked onto Gabriella's as they approached the White House. Even though it was 2 am the newscasters didn't let go of the president. Everyone was still flashing their cameras at the House surroundings. The threw questions at the chief of FBI and the president. The came close to the 'caution' tape and approached the closest police officer. They showed them their FBI badges and continued under the tape and entered the president's home. The police officers roamed the dark court of the White House. The lights were off and only a dim white light shone through the whole place.
"Bolton and Montez , once again" Troy and Gabriella turned towards a petite woman in a blue uniform dress. It was Stephanie their secretary.
"We need to go to FBI headquarters. Chief will be meeting us there" she said and led them once again out of the House and into a car.
A few minutes later , the entered a building similar to the headquarters in Albuquerque. Gabriella's hand was once again comfortably found entwined with Troy's. She didn't want to be so forceful on Troy so she loosened the grip on Troy's hand. That didn't go unnoticed by him though. His face fell and squeezed her hand which made Gabriella hold it just like she was. Troy looked at her and rethought of what he had just done. At 2 am in the morning Troy was far away from going to sleep. What was happening to him? Gabriella was so fun to be around he couldn't believe he had ever hated her. Troy wanted to keep her hand with his and it was. He wanted it to be like that forever. The owner of this strong, firm ,soft, tanned hand was all of a sudden who completed his heart. The face didn't reach his brains yet because he was contemplating on what the heck he was feeling. Troy had hated this girl yesterday and today all he wanted to do was kiss her. Her smile and laugh on the plane had lifted Troy's heart. He loved the way that Gabriella shook her hand when she was nervous and that was probably because he had another chance to hold her. A desire filled Troy. He wanted a hug no he needed it. He wanted to feel her against him and wanted to wrap his hands around her waist. He wanted to breath her jasmine smell and wanted to slip his head into the crook of her neck. So he did.
Once inside the building Troy pulled Gabriella to the side and hugged her. He got what he wanted and loved it. He loved her jasmine scent and he loved how his hands could wrap around her waist. He loved how his face fit perfectly in between her neck and shoulder and most of all he loved how she hugged him back. They pulled back and stayed silent. Gabriella didn't know how much she had been yearning for the hug too until she had got it. She smiled at him wonderfully.
"We should get back" she whispered and took Troy's hand. Gabriella led him to catch up with Stephenie.
Troy was amazed at how Gabriella reacted. He smiled as he remembered those few seconds. From right now, he didn't mind being partners with Gabriella for life. He didn't mind sharing a room with her. He didn't mind sharing a bathroom with her. He didn't mind even sharing a bed with her.
God the FBI really does change people...
I am really sleepy right now. It is 3:00 am! ARGH! I am not joking... Yeah, well I better go to sleep...
Love ya Guys and Keep Smiling
