Alright guys, I know we're all shocked about Zac and Vanessa splitting up…and yes, it is true. HOWEVER, I consider myself an intelligent and observant person, and from all the articles I have read on the subject, they all say the same thing! THEY WILL GET BACK TOGETHER. Close friends have said and I quote 'I would be surprised if they didn't get back together'. Seriously, after five years you can't just break up and forget about each other. If they're not dating, then they're still best friends, and best friends means hanging out still, and hanging out a lot means getting back together, close friends of Zanessa even say that they will get back together and even Zac's rep says that they're taking a 'break' not 'breaking up'; COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Plus, from the video of them a couple weeks ago in Hawaii during thanksgiving, it's clear that they are still in love. Sources say the video was of them saying goodbye for now, and that the only reason they broke up was because of their careers and schedules right now, not because they don't love each other anymore, so it's all good. I know it's hard to believe, and for a moment I was devastated, but after going through all the articles and interviews, it does seem like there's a big chance that they will get back together, so no worries. Now, let's hope that moment comes sooner than later. ENJOY THIS CHAPTER.
Hold on Tight 2
7. We're Playing Basketball
Gabriella walked downstairs in her pajama shorts and tank top, running her hands through her hair and primping it. She pulled her tank top down slightly to reveal slightly more cleavage and giggled silently at her behavior. She loved Saturdays.
Cameron was over at Chad and Taylor's house for the day, so keen to spend all his time with Jordan, which everyone found adorable, for they all knew the two boys would be the best of friends from the start. Boy did Cam love looking after that little baby.
Gabriella peaked into the kitchen and bit her lip as she spotted Troy leaning over the counter reading the sports section in the newspaper with a nearly empty water bottle in his hand, still in basketball shorts, a sleeveless shirt, and sneakers that he had worn to practice that morning. He obviously had just gotten back and Gabriella was more than thrilled to have company for the day…especially if it were with her husband, her husband whose muscles were displayed rather nicely, shiny with sweat, with his sleeveless shirt….
She placed a hand over her mouth to suppress her giggles before breathing deeply and pulling herself together, putting on a seductive face. She stepped into the kitchen, leaning against the door frame with a smirk, and a flirtatious look on her face.
"Hey there."
Troy looked up before his eyes widened slightly, putting his water bottle down and blinking numerous times. He looked her up and down before a large smirk erupted onto his handsome face. "Hi?"
"So…" She placed her petite hand on her neck and slowly brushed the hair off of her shoulder. "You come here often?"
Troy raised an eyebrow and looked at her strangely.
Gabriella took one step towards him and tried to act nonchalant. "I just saw you across the room and…woah." She shivered theatrically and bit her lip harshly to stop herself from bursting into laughter.
A very confused Troy furrowed his eyebrows and had an amused smile on his face. "Baby, what are you doing?"
Immediately her shoulders dropped and she put on a cute pout. "Troooy." She whined. "Just play along!"
He snickered and nodded, shaking teasingly as if getting into character.
Gabriella giggled and got into character as well, smirking and looking at him with amusement. "So, I uh, just saw you across the room…"
Troy smirked as well and took a slow step towards her, placing his hand on the back of his neck and shrugging. "Well, I saw you too…and woah, I mean…you just took my breath away."
"Hmm," She took another step towards him. "I mean, we could go back to my place…"
His smirk grew and he walked slowly towards her. "Oh really?...Yikes, I don't know how my wife would feel about that…"
Gabriella pretended to be conflicted. "Oh gosh yeah, I mean…I don't know how my husband would feel about it either…"
He shrugged. "Meh, they don't have to know…"
The petite brunette shot him an amused smile before shrugging as well. "Yeah, besides," She looked at him, her eyes sparkling. "My husband's a dork."
Troy's shoulders dropped, just as Gabriella's had before. "That was unnecessary."
Gabriella snickered before bursting out in laughter, their game obviously over. She walked up to him and placed her arms around his neck lazily, kissing him sweetly, still giggling at her game.
"You're mean." He pouted, his arms around her waist, pulling her close as she laughed into his chest.
Gabriella took a deep breath, her laughter subsiding. "Awh, baby, I'm so sorry." She said sarcastically.
Troy smirked and connected his forehead with hers. "Karma."
She giggled, placing her elbows on his shoulders and locking his head between her arms. "I love you."
Troy shook his head and kissed her.
Gabriella smiled into the kiss. She pulled away reluctantly and placed her hands on his chest. "Troy, I want to talk to you about something…"
He furrowed his eyebrows. "What's up?"
"Well...I've had something on my mind for a while now, and I wanted to talk to you about it cause I don't know how you'd feel about it and well I'm kind of nervous to talk to you about it cause we just got used to our routine and-"
"Woah, woah, slow down Gabs." Troy chuckled and pulled her towards the table, sitting down and pulling her onto his lap. "Now, just cut to the chase."
She sighed and nodded. "I want another baby. Preferably a girl, but that doesn't matter, I'd love another boy, it's just a little girl would be so sweet and I'd get to dress her up and-"
"Gabriella, stop talking." Troy chuckled, knowing how she ranted when nervous. "You want another baby?" He asked quietly, looking off with a thoughtful expression.
Gabriella nodded. "Very much so." She giggled half-heartedly and bit her lip at his unreadable face. "Baby, what are you thinking?"
Troy looked up at her and smiled softly. "I don't know what I'm thinking." He said honestly.
Gabriella smiled weakly, slightly disappointed that he wasn't more excited. She looked down at her fingers. "You can tell me how you feel, if you're not ready..."
He shrugged nonchalantly, as if not knowing what to make of the situation. "I mean, I haven't really thought about having another baby, not that I didn't want another one, just that the thought…it hasn't really crossed my mind."
Gabriella nodded and continued to watch her hands as they lay on her lap. "So…" She looked up slowly and looked at him innocently. "Is that a yes?"
Troy couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she was just too sweet for her own good. "Baby, I want whatever you want."
A large grin broke out onto her face and she hugged him tightly. She pulled back and kissed him happily. "Yay!"
Troy chuckled and his grip tightened around her body.
"I mean, I can take maternity leave from work, get a substitute, ya know? And Cam would have someone to look after, someone to play with, and we'd have another little baby…" Gabriella sighed cheerfully at the thought, Troy watching her with sparkling eyes and a loving smile which quickly turned into a devious smirk.
"You know…" He started, his hands running up and down her sides and arms.
She raised an eyebrow with a smirk of her own.
"If we want another baby…I think we should start now." A playful smile on his handsome face.
Gabriella giggled and placed her arms around his neck, hugging him close. "I agree."
Troy grinned cheekily before crashing his lips onto hers and standing up, Gabriella wasting no time in locking her legs around his waist.
…
"Crap!"
Gabriella winced as she was woken up and rolled off of her rather comfortable position on his bare chest to the other side of the bed. She hugged the sheets to her naked frame and leaned up on her elbow, watching Troy slip his boxers back on and run into the bathroom.
"Troy, sweetie, what's wrong?"
Troy poked his head out of the bathroom. "The big game's tonight!"
Gabriella furrowed her eyebrows in confusion before they widened. "Shit! The championships!"
Troy chuckled from inside the bathroom. "Yup. But it's okay baby, I'm not late yet, just a little behind schedule."
Gabriella slid to the edge of the bed and sat with her legs hanging off the end, back tracking to this morning and opening her mouth in realization."Ohhhh, so this morning you didn't just have practice, you had pre-game practice."
"Yup."
Gabriella tilted her head. "Huh, makes sense." She shrugged.
Troy's big championship game was tonight, LA Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls. He had been talking about it all week, he even had post game scrimmage this morning and he had still forgot…it's just that Gabriella…no clothes…god, he was only a man.
"When do you have to be there?" She asked, looking around for a shirt to wear, smiling as she slipped on Troy's sleeveless t-shirt that he had worn earlier…before she ripped it off that is.
"Uh, two hours before warm ups. So around six."
She glanced at the clock that read 4:15 PM. "At least you got in a good…five hour nap." She giggled and bit her lip as she heard him laugh in the shower.
"Right!"
Gabriella laughed at his amused reply and fell back onto the bed. God she loved her life.
…
She plopped down on her stomach and held her head with her hands, swinging her legs back and forth behind her. "Damn, you come out in only a towel…all wet…do you really have to go right now?"
Troy laughed and shook his head, leaning down and kissing her, lingering near her face for a bit before standing up straight and going over to their closet. "You're coming tonight right? With Cam?"
Gabriella mocked hurt. "How can you even ask that? Don't we always come to your games?"
He chuckled and glanced back at her. "Yes honey, well…sometimes, not every away game-"
"Oh shush!" She scolded. "We come to every home game and every away game that doesn't require buying a plane ticket." Gabriella got up from the bed and stood behind him, looping her arms around his torso and kissing his back. "And when we can't come, Cam and I always have our bowl of popcorn and Laker's hats on as we watch you proudly on TV."
Troy smiled and turned around, cupping her face in his hands. "I know baby." He kissed her before turning back around and fetching his game bag.
She smiled, walking into the bathroom. "Besides, it's the freaking championships, I wouldn't miss that for the world!" She turned on the shower. "I'm picking Cam up at seven to head to the arena, Taylor's coming with us."
"Okay, you might want to start the drive earlier though, on a normal game day it'll take an hour to get there but there should be a lot of traffic tonight."
"Oh, okay, I'll go earlier then."
"Your tickets are at the booth like always." He furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, what about Jordan?"
Gabriella giggled. "Oh little J. Taylor thinks he's still too young for the noise and rowdiness of the games, so she got a babysitter."
"Ahh, a babysitter. I don't remember ever getting a babysitter for Cam."
She slid off Troy's shirt and stepped into the shower. "That's because Shar and Zeke would always watch him when I went to your games, and other times I would just bring him…probably why he loves going so much now, he's used to it, it's in his blood."
Troy chuckled. "Understandable."
…
Gabriella frowned in her sweats and t-shirt, the back of it getting damp from her still wet shower hair. She placed her hands on Troy's chest and sighed. "Now that you're going what am I supposed to do until I go get Cam and Tay?"
Troy chuckled, all set in his purple and gold jersey and shorts, his game bag hanging on his shoulder. "You could go over and wait with him and Taylor?"
Gabriella's eyes lit up. "Now why didn't I think of that?"
He smirked. "Cause baby, I'm your smarter half."
She narrowed her eyes and whacked him on the chest playfully.
Troy grinned cheekily and snickered, adjusting the strap on his shoulder.
"If I don't get a chance to catch you before the game, good luck tonight, I know you'll do great." She leaned up to kiss him on the jaw. "You always do." She whispered sweetly.
Troy smiled and kissed her with passion, as if it were good luck. "I'll make a shot, just for you."
She giggled. "You better, I'll watch out for it."
He smiled at her one last time before turning for the door, winking at her charmingly as he closed it behind him.
Gabriella smiled to herself before scurrying upstairs to get ready.
…
"You are definitely my son." She laughed, leaning down to lift her very spirited son into her arms and onto her hip. She kissed him and playfully adjusted his mini Laker's cap. Along with the cap he was wearing his mini jersey and jeans, just like his mom.
"Hey, come on in." Taylor moved aside, already in her Laker's jersey as well.
Gabriella smiled at her best friend and walked inside with Cameron.
"You're early." Taylor said smiling, leading them into the kitchen.
She giggled with a shrug. "I got bored."
Taylor shook her head and leaned against the kitchen counter. "Gabi it was so cute, I was putting Jordan down for a nap and Cameron wanted to help so I lifted him up and he tucked him in. It was adorable."
"Awhhhhh." Gabriella nuzzled her nose against her sons. "What a good boy." She commended, getting a bashful toothy grin from the three year old. "When did you put Jordan down?" She asked Taylor.
"Oh, like right before you got here. I didn't want him to be restless for the sitter…I asked Shar and Zeke if they could watch him but they're actually coming to the game tonight as well."
The brunette beauty grinned, getting more excited. "Well, it is the championships. It's gonna be awesome, right baby?" She looked excitedly at Cam who nodded his head eccentrically.
Taylor laughed at the two and opened the fridge. "I was thinking we should eat before the game, so we won't be hungry. Is pizza good?"
Gabriella nodded with a smile, sitting on a stool, adjusting her son on her lap. "Yeah, sounds good."
Taylor got out a frozen pizza and continued to unwrap it and place it in the oven.
Gabriella turned to her son and tickled his sides. "I'm so excited!" She squealed, Cam giggling on her lap.
…
"Geez, I knew it would be crowded but not this crowded." Taylor sighed as she watched Gabriella turn slowly, perking up as she found a parking space. The two hour ride to the stadium had been rather slow, the traffic crazier than ever.
Gabriella turned off the engine and spun around in her seat so she could face Cameron who sat excitedly in his car seat. "Hey, I know I've told you a gazillion times but I'm going to tell you again."
He looked at his mother pointedly, already knowing what she was going to say.
"Do not run off by yourself, you could get lost, always stay with me. You got it?" She looked at him seriously and grinned as he nodded his head and attempted to unlatch his belt.
"Let's go!" Taylor got out of the car and waited for Gabriella who got out and went around, fetching Cam and lifting him into her arms.
"Alright, let's go." She followed Taylor towards the lit up arena and looked down at her son who squirmed in her arms.
"Momma, put me down! I wanna walk!"
She shook her head, knowing very well as soon as she put him down he would get excited and not pay attention, getting himself lost in the large crowd around them. "Not yet honey, not until we get inside."
He pouted and nodded cutely, keeping his arms lazily around her neck. Gabriella was extremely overprotective, not in all cases, but in situations such as this she was scared to death to lose her little boy. There were just so many people around and he was just so tiny, it would break her heart if they were separated and he was left to wander around, lost and frightened.
Gabriella kissed his hair and fought to stay close behind Taylor, who was pushing through the large amount of people heading in the same direction as them. When they entered the large arena she latched onto Taylor's shoulder with one hand and used her other to keep Cam close to her chest, shielding him from all the rowdy, some drunk, basketball fans.
"You okay?" Taylor called over her shoulder, waiting in line for the ticket booth that thankfully didn't have many people for it was kind of useless. There's no point in buying a ticket at the booth because most people buy tickets online, for they sell out quickly.
"Yeah!" Gabriella replied, stumbling and scoffing as a woman wearing only a sports bra knocked right into her, screaming like a psycho. "Bitch." She muttered, regretting it afterwards as she remembered her infant son in her arms. "Sorry, bad word. Don't repeat that, ever."
He looked at her quizzically, wondering what she was talking about before shrugging it off and nodding. "Yup." He said obliviously.
Gabriella giggled and hugged him tightly, watching as the couple in front of them left and they were next for the booth. Taylor leaned against the counter and smiled at the stout woman behind it.
"Hi, I'm Taylor Danforth and this is Gabriella Bolton, we have tickets waiting for us."
The woman raised her eyebrow before nodding her head. "Oh, right. I'll just need to see some identification…"
Taylor nodded and got out her driver's license, Gabriella doing the same. They placed both cards on the counter for the woman to examine.
The clerk looked down at the cards before looking back up at Gabriella and Taylor, smiling and giving the cards back. "Just one moment."
Taylor nodded and rolled her eyes while Gabriella stifled a laugh at her behavior; her best friend was never one for patience.
"Here you are." The woman handed over three tickets and the two basketball wives smiled in thanks and dove back into the crowd, heading for the entrance to the court.
Taylor looked down at her ticket, searching the walls for their section number. "Oh there!" She led the way to their entrance and her and Gabriella walked through the frame and grins erupted onto their faces at the excitement.
"Momma, can you put me down now?" Cam looked at her cutely and she nodded, succumbing to his adorable nature. He was just like his daddy.
"Fine, but don't you think about letting go of my hand." She placed him down gently and grabbed his little hand into hers.
He jumped around giddily, looking around and screaming with exhilaration.
Gabriella shook her head and laughed at her over excited son, tightening her grip around his hand and following Taylor down the many stairs to their seats.
"Oh, here we are…excuse me, sorry." Taylor and Gabriella turned sideways to get to their seats. They were in the fourth row, right in the middle, a great view of all the action.
"These seats are great." Gabriella grinned, looking around at all the people. "Hey buddy, do you wanna switch seats with me?" She asked Cam, who sat on her right as Taylor sat on her left. Honestly, she'd feel more comfortable if he were in the middle, protected from both sides.
Cameron looked at his mother and scoffed. "Momma, I'm fine, really. I'm three years old now…not one."
She opened her mouth in surprise and shook her head. "Oh really? Well I'm so sorry Mr. Bolton." He sat maturely beside her, turning his cap around so it was backwards. She watched him with amusement.
"Where's dadda?" He asked, looking down at the court where the team was warming up.
Gabriella leaned over in her seat to look for Troy as well. She jumped as she found him in line to do layups. "Oh! There he is!"
Cameron jumped up as well, his eyes lighting up as his father did a perfect layup. He jumped up and down, screaming his name. "DADDY! DADDY!"
Gabriella laughed at her son. "Sweetie, he can't hear you, he's not paying attention right now."
His shoulders slumped and he sat back down in his seat.
"It's alright baby, I'm sure daddy will see us." She reassured, placing her hand on Cam's head and hugging it towards her, taking his cap off and nuzzling her nose in his hair.
Cameron cheered back up almost instantly. "Yeah, he'll see us momma, don't worry." He grinned and continued to watch the players warm up, his mother laughing at his jumpy demeanor and putting his cap back on.
She watched with a soft smile as Troy warmed up with Chad, dribbling and faking right as he spun around and shot a three pointer. God did she love watching him play basketball, he always looked so darn handsome and athletic.
She turned to Taylor and leaned to the side so she could talk to her. "Do you remember when we were in high school watching them play?"
Taylor laughed. "Gosh, yeah. That seems like forever ago."
"Did you ever think that we'd be sitting here watching them play here, in the NBA, together?"
The dark skinned beauty shook her head with a gentle smile. "I never thought that they'd make the same team and play together, I mean what a coincidence, let alone that we'd be here watching them. It's amazing how life turns out, how we all got to stick together."
Gabriella giggled. "I always knew that whatever they did in the future they would be doing together, I mean come on Tay, its Troy and Chad we're talking about here."
Taylor laughed and nodded her head. "You're so right."
Gabriella jumped up, Taylor and Cam soon following, as Troy and Chad walked towards the sidelines. They stood up and waved their arms trying to get the boys attention.
Gabriella lifted Cam into her arms so he could see better and she yelled Troy's name as he lifted the end of his shirt to wipe his sweaty face, revealing his abs. She bit her lip as he glanced up at them, obviously hearing their screams. Troy did a double take and grinned as he realized it was them, nudging Chad and pointing into the crowd to show him where they were. Chad's face lit up as he saw the three and he waved along with Troy, grinning up at Taylor.
Gabriella rolled her eyes playfully at Cam who went crazy, waving and screaming for his father. She watched Troy laugh and shrug, sending her a charming smile and a wink to his son. She waved and blew him a kiss before joining Taylor and sitting back down after placing Cam back in his seat beside her.
"Ah, you just gotta love basketball." She breathed watching Troy's every move as he glanced up at her every now and then, giving her a smirk with hidden meaning, Gabriella giggling to herself and sending him sweet smiles.
"Momma." Cam said nudging her arm.
"Yeah Camiman?"
"I'm hungry."
Gabriella looked down at him unbelievingly and shook her head with a smile. "Honey, we just ate."
He shrugged cutely and stood up. "I know. But that was pizza. I want popcorn. And a hot dog."
Gabriella giggled and stood up, knowing this would happen. Every time they went to a game Cameron would always want something to eat, always either being popcorn, a hotdog, or nachos. "We'll be right back, do you want anything to eat or drink?" She asked Taylor.
"Nope, I'm good. Thanks though."
Gabriella nodded and grabbed Cam's hand. "Remember, don't let go."
He nodded and pulled her towards the aisle.
…
"OH COME ON!" She stood up along with Taylor, Zeke, Sharpay, and many others around them, screaming at the ref who she found completely unfair. "That was such a foul!"
Zeke and Sharpay had arrived 15 minutes after them and luckily their seats were right behind Gabriella, Taylor, and Cam.
Cam watched his mother and did what she was doing. "Cheater!" He yelled, stomping his foot, although not really knowing what was going on. He only came to the games to watch his father, he was still too young to actually know how it worked.
They all sat back down harshly with scowls on their faces.
"That was ridiculous." Taylor muttered to Gabriella who nodded in agreement.
"Completely screwed up." Sharpay said scoffing with attitude from behind them. Cam sat down again and huffed as well.
"Dumbos." He said, crossing his arms.
Gabriella looked down at him and her face softened, giggling at his posture. She ruffled his hair and put her attention back on the game.
"Come on baby! Let's go!" She yelled, clapping her hands.
"Go daddy! Beat them!"
Taylor sat at the edge of her seat, watching as the ball was passed down the court. The ball was passed from one player to Chad and the afro haired husband quickly did a fade away and the ball swished through the net.
Taylor leapt up, punching her fist in the air. "Yeah baby! That's right!"
Gabriella laughed and stood up with Taylor. "Yeah Chad!"
They sat back down and watched as the ball was taken back, checked between the Bulls and given to one of their offensive players. The Bulls player faked a left and jumped up to pass the ball, only to have it intercepted by Troy who jumped in between and did a 180 around the player, dribbling the ball towards the opposite end of the court.
They all stood up again, clutching each other's arms with nerves, Cameron watching with wide eyes as his father owned the court.
"Come on man…" Zeke clenched his fist nervously and watched Troy intently.
Troy passed the ball to one of his teammates and sprinted to the front, screaming that he was open. The other player weaved through two Bulls before running back and throwing it to Troy who barely caught it for the throw was a little too far. Seeing that he was triple teamed, Troy chucked the ball to another player, the opposing team running away from Troy towards the other male. The ball was passed to Chad who looked around for options before jumping up and chucking the ball over his opponents head to Troy who sprinted with the ball towards the net, knowing that it was now or never.
Gabriella watched, biting her lip anxiously as Troy jumped up with all his might and dunked the orange sphere straight through the net. Her face exploded with excitement and she jumped up, grabbing Cam and jumping with him, screaming their lungs off.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! YEAH TROY! YOU GO BABY! THAT'S MY MAN!" She laughed with Taylor and Sharpay and they squealed and jumped around with each other, Cameron in between them giggling hysterically at the excitement. Zeke punched his fist in the air and laughed at the girls, doing a high five with the guy next to him.
Troy let go of the net and landed on his feet, his teammates patting him on the back and crowding around him. He punched his fist in the air and looked up at the crowd, searching it and grinning as he found Gabriella. He pointed towards her and that's when she knew that it was her shot. That dunk was her dunk, the one he had promised.
"I LOVE YOU!" She screamed with giddiness. Troy laughed and gave her a sheepish grin. He did a man hug with Chad, jumping around boyishly with his teammates.
Taylor looked up as the announcer said that it was halftime. She, Zeke, and Sharpay sat back down, all shaky and cheerful inside. Gabriella still stood, jumping up and down with Cam as they watched Troy with pride. When they finally sat back down Gabriella turned to Taylor with an ecstatic face. "Is it halftime already?"
Taylor laughed. "My thought's exactly."
"Yo, Cam the man, do you need to use the bathroom?"
He shook his dark head of hair and continued to look around the arena with curiosity.
Gabriella raised an eyebrow and knelt down so she could speak to her son properly. "Cam, you always need to go, if you don't then you'll have to go during the game."
He looked at his mother with his big blue eyes and sighed cutely. "Fiiiine." He whined.
She giggled and grabbed his tiny hand, mocking him. "Fiiiiine."
Cam rolled his eyes at his mother and watched as she told the girls and Zeke where they were going.
"Oh, well then I'll come with, I have to use the bathroom too." Taylor stood up with a jump in her step and stood next to Gabriella and Cam.
"What about you, Shar? Zeke?"
"Nah, I'm good, what about you baby?" Zeke looked at Sharpay who shook her head and laced her fingers with his.
"Nope, I'm good."
Gabriella nodded. "We'll be right back."
When they got to the bathroom Cam stopped his mother from pulling him into the ladies room with her.
"Nooooo." He whined. "I want to use the boy's bathroom!"
She rolled her eyes and looked down at her son. "No. I can't go in the boy's bathroom, and you can't go alone."
He stomped his little foot and pulled his hand away, crossing his arms stubbornly. "Well then I'm not going potty."
She looked at her son pointedly, getting annoyed. "Cameron, stop it. You will come into the bathroom with me and do your business. Just pretend it's the boy's bathroom."
He glared at his mother for a long time before huffing and stomping towards the women's room, Gabriella sighing and following close behind, pushing the door open for him. Taylor laughed quietly behind them and shook her head.
Gabriella held onto Cam's shoulders as they weaved through the many women in the bathroom, trying to find an empty stall. She looked back at Taylor and they nodded at each other, agreeing to meet outside after. She found an empty stall and went inside with Cam.
"Go." She said sternly, watching her son pout angrily and shake his head.
"Make me!" He yelled.
Gabriella's eyes grew angrier and she knelt down and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Cameron Jay Bolton, don't you ever talk to me like that again, alright?"
He looked away and huffed causing her to put her hands on either side of his head and make him look at her. "Got it?" She said more sternly, causing him to jump slightly and nod soon afterwards. She stood back up and turned around to face the door. "Now, I won't look, just go."
She stared at the door and waited till he was finished and said it was okay to look. After he said his okay she walked out of the stall with him and held him up so he could wash his hands.
When they exited the restroom Taylor was already standing against the wall waiting for them. "Hey Tay, can you actually watch him while I go to the bathroom real quick, I might as well so I don't have to later."
Taylor nodded and grabbed Cam's hand, watching as Gabriella scurried back to the bathroom.
"Why the long face little man?"
Cam looked up at her with angry eyes. "Momma's mean." He whispered harshly.
Taylor frowned and knelt down. "Why is your momma mean?"
"She made me go into the girl's room and potty. I'm not a girl." He scrunched his nose cutely.
Taylor laughed lightly. "Oh honey, she knows you're not a girl. Your momma just loves you so much that she doesn't want anything to happen to you. You're so little and you could get lost or get hurt. She's protecting you is all."
Cam looked down and his expression softened. "I'm not that little."
Taylor giggled and ruffled his hair, standing up and smiling as she saw her best friend jogging back over to them. "That was fast." She said.
Gabriella giggled and nodded. "I try." She looked down at her son and grabbed his hand, allowing Taylor to let go. "Thanks Tay."
She nodded and gave Cam a look, reminding him of what she told him earlier about his mother. He sighed and looked up, trudging over and tugging on his mother's jersey.
She looked down and raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"
Cam lifted his little arms. "Up, up." He said timidly.
Gabriella smiled and lifted her boy into her arms. "Yes sweetie?"
"I'm sorry momma, for being mean before."He played with the necklace around her neck and bit his lip shyly.
She smiled sweetly and kissed him on the cheek. "It's okay honey, I'm sorry too. Now let's get back before the game starts again."
He nodded and placed his arms around her neck.
"Let's go!" She smiled excitedly at Taylor who laughed and led the way back to their seats
SOOOOO, whaddya think? Hehehe, I liked it, I guess. Review please! It was long so I hope you guys liked that. (:
