Chapter 8: Acquaintance
"You don't need to take me up" Gabriella said as they headed in the Baylor's building's lobby.
"Actually, I'm coming up to see Zeke" he replied as they entered the private elevator leading to the penthouse suite.
"Oh" she said suddenly blushing. In Troy's mind the elevator ride was the longest most awkward thing he has ever experience, which made him remember last night.
He exited the bathroom the lights of the suite were turned off, he was only wearing his boxers since he asked housekeeping to wash his wet suit and pants, he dried of his hair with the hotel's towel, he walked past the bed where Gabriella was sleeping comfortably snuggled with the soft comforter, he tossed the towel to the a armchair and sat down the coach where he intended to sleep in, he took a couple of pillows from Gabriella and placed it on the couch, he fluffed both of them but just when she was about to lie down, he heard Gabriella's voice.
"Troy?" she said huskily.
"Gabby?" he responded looking in her direction, he saw her silhouette as she sat up from the bed.
"You don't have to sleep on the couch" she said lying back down.
"It's okay Gabs, go back to sleep" he sighed and lied back down to the couch.
"Troy, I mean it" she said sharply.
"Where do you want me to sleep, there are no other available rooms" he groaned.
"Sleep next to me then" she said sweetly and softly.
His eyes widened, a soft tingle moved through his spine.
"Gab" he started but was immediately cut off.
"I can't sleep, please?" she insisted.
"I can't let my client sleep on the bed, while I occupy a king sized bed which can at least fit another person" she blabbed.
"Fine" he said and stood up and walked towards the bed holding his pillows, he gently moved to the other side of the bed as Gabriella moved further making space for him.
"Goodnight Troy" she said as she happily snuggled a pillow and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight Gabby" he said as he inhaled the jasmine scent he longed for.
GGGGGG
As the sunlight entered the glass window of the room, Troy fluttered his eyes open, and revealed a sleeping Gabriella in his arms, her head was lying down on his broad chest, her hand on his stomach which showed a six pack abs and his arms embracing her back, he smiled at the sight of this, her long silky black hair was on his chin, he inhaled the scent of it, she was adorable, still is, he then looked at digital clock on the side table, which red six o'clock. Which gave him a sad reaction, it was time to wake her up, which clearly made him upset.
"Gabby" he whispered, he could barely move due to her weight.
"Gabby" he tried once again.
"Mmmmm" she mumbled, her eyes still closed.
"Wake up Gabby" he said, he admired her as she opened her eyes.
"Huh?" she mumbled as she snuggled her head to his chest even more.
"its six thirty Gabriella" he whispered, even though he loved the fact that she was nestled onto him.
She opened her eyes further more and realized in what position she was in.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry" she quickly jerked up and stood up.
"It's okay, uhm, we should get ready I don't want traffic getting between you and your twins" he said as he stood up from the bed as well.
"Right, Uhm" she panicked once again, she was embarrassed alright.
"You should go in to the master bath, I'll wait for my clothes" he insisted.
"Right, okay" she smiled and headed to the bathroom.
GGGGGGGGG
"It's sorry again, for you know, uhm, sleeping on you" she nervously gulped.
"It's okay Gabriella, It isn't your first time anyways" he smiled.
"Ha-Ha, funny Bolton" she rolled her eyes playfully at him.
"Here we are then Casa ala Baylor" he said as the same time the bell dinged as they exited the elevator and entered the foyer of the penthouse.
"Pink, away" she muttered.
"Baylor, where are you" Troy shouted announcing his arrival.
Gabriella rolled her eyes once again, she could hear little snickers form the kitchen.
"I'm in the Kitchen, Troyboy" Zeke replied.
"To the kitchen then" Troy said leading Gabriella.
"Who's Troy Boy? Uncle Zeke" he heard.
"Zeke" Troy said as they reached the kitchen and saw Zeke holding a tray of cookies, his whole chef costume put on, most of all his eyes were stolen by the kid standing next to Zeke, he had curly dark brown hair but lighter than Gabriella, he had lucid brown eyes like Gabriella's as well, his skin was a lot fairer unlike Gabriella's olive one, good thing this boy didn't get anything from Ryan he thought. It was actually much better seeing the boy in person, than looking through the gallery of Gabriella's Blackberry.
"Hi Luke" Gabriella beamed her face was so relieved and happy, the boy immediately run up to her, Troy was jealous, he admired her and her child.
"Yo, Bolton" Zeke snickered.
"What?" he said.
Zeke made a face and looked at Gabriella.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Troy said looking at his friend.
"Who's he" the boy asked nicely and curious at the same time looking up at Troy.
"Uhm, Luke that's Troyboy, he's one of my best friends" Zeke said walking towards Troy and placing his huge arms to his shoulder.
"I though Uncle Chad's your best friend?" the boy asked again.
"You see buddy, Chad, Me and Troy are like a trio, were best buds, the three of us" Zeke replied.
"I thought you, I and Uncle Chad am the trio" he pointed out again now folding his arms.
"Luke, uhm, Troy, Chad and Zeke have been best friends since they were little" Gabriella jolted in saving Zeke from answering the curious boy's question.
"I don't get to see him a lot though" Luke pointed out once again.
"It's because, he is a very busy man" Gabriella said.
"Mommy!" someone shrieked from behind hugging Gabriella from her back.
"Hi Lex" Gabriella said acknowledging the little one and kissed her forehead. The little girl also had curly brown hair but lighter than her brother and mother, probably because of Ryan's streaking blonde hair, but was long like Gabriella's. Her skin was also fair, her cheeks were red, but she had blue eyes. The little girl was perfect in her eyes.
"Who's he?" the little girl asked playing with her baby pink sun dress who looked directly at Troy, but her brother immediately filled her in, because he was whispering in her ear.
"So Bolton's here" Sharpay said entering the room holding papers.
"Barbie Doll" Troy said.
The twins giggled as they heard Troy say.
"Okay, guys, go stay at the living room" Gabriella said giggling as well.
"So, how was Buffalo" Sharpay glared Troy.
"Buffalo's Buffalo" Troy said taking a piece of cookie from the tray and looking amused at Zeke.
"So, Gab, I'm sorry I can't help you find a suite today, I have to fly to LA for a premiere" Sharpay said.
"You're looking for a place?" Troy asked.
"Yes, I want something permanent, I don't intend to let my children live on a hotel for long" she smiled.
"Maybe I can pull some strings for you" Troy shyly offered as he scratched his hair.
"Troy, you don't have to" Gabriella said.
"No, I insist, let me call my people" he said as he grabbed his phone and exited to the living room to dial a number.
"Zeke, tell him to stop" she said.
"Come on Gabriella, he could help" Zeke said
"Yeah, this could be the first thing he can do as-" Sharpay was cut off as she saw Troy coming back in from the living room.
"It's done and done, we'll meet my agent in my building in an hour" Troy said.
"Troy, you don't have to" Gabriella insisted.
"No, Gabs let him do it, it's the least he can do-" she was cut off again as Zeke covered her mouth and Gabriella exhaled in relief.
"Uhm, Troy can you bring this to the two monsters out there" Zeke said as he gave Troy a plate of cookies.
"Yeah, Troy I just want to have a word with Sharpay and Zeke" Gabriella half smiled.
"Okay then" as he went out of the kitchen and saw the two little angels in the couch on the den.
He gulped nervously and placed the plate of cookies on the coffee table as the two pair of eyes looked at him.
"Uhm, Zeke told me to give you these" he half smiled.
They each took a piece of cookie and took a bite.
"Sit, Troy" the little girl said patting the area next to her.
Troy smiled without hesitation and sat next to her.
"Uhm, thanks" he smiled.
"Have a cookie" the little boy then offered.
"Okay" he said grabbing a piece of cookie and taking a bite, oh how he forgot how delicious Zeke's cooking was, it was like sex on his mouth.
"Man, I missed Zeke's cooking" he said finishing the cookie in a brief second.
"I'm quite sure we haven't officially met, I'm Lily Alexandra Montez, I'm six years old, my Mommy calls me Lexy, other people call me, Lily or Lex, but when my Mommy's get mad at me she calls me Lily Alexandra Montez" she smiled at Troy offering her hands like a real grown up adult.
"Nice to meet you, Lily or Lexy, I'm Troy" he smiled looking straight into her blue eyes.
"Uh-uh, your whole name Mister" she said tucking her bouncy curly brown hair behind her ear.
"Right, Troy Alexander… Bolton" he slowly realized.
Wait, Lily Alexandra... he thought to himself.
"Please to make your Acquaintance, Troy, I can call you Troy right?" she asked as he was still deep in thought.
"Hello, Troy!" she said poking his cheeks.
"Yeah, Sure Lily" he said.
"Okay, my turn" the little boy now went in front of Troy.
"I'm Lucas Brandon Montez, you can call me Luke for short" he said smiling at Troy, the familiar brown eyes he'd always love.
"Nice to meet you" he smiled.
"I'm six, and Lily my twin sister, Fran-Fra.. No Frat-" he was cut off by her sister.
"We are fraternal twins" Lily said glaring at his brother while he corrected him.
"I knew that!" he snapped and pouted.
"Did not!"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Did too-" they fought back and forth.
"Okay!" the three of them heard the alarming tone, Gabriella Arizona Montez.
"Okay, you two say goodbye to Uncle Zeke and Auntie Pay, say thank you" she commanded as the two of them exited the room.
"And you Bolton, are coming with us" she said.
"You got that right" he smiled; he knew that this was going to be a good day.
