Okay, many have you asked me to get to the chase and bring Troy and Gabby back together and admit that the Twins are Troy's, I can assure you that that "chapter" will come, were getting their very soon. Please keep reading my "ugly" attempt of a love story (: I would love to hear more of your honest opinions though. So here it is Chapter 10.
Chapter 10:
"Okay, everyone, order in the court" Gabriella joked, as she asked her friends to listen to her, she stood up from new marble dining table that look perfect in her new kitchen, her very own kitchen. She held on her champagne glass, looking very lady like with her Alice + Olivia black day dress with a thick Hermes gold belt standing on her black Manolos, her perfect curls were lying down on her back.
"Okay so I would like to make a toast" she looked out to everyone on the table her friends and her beautiful twins sitting waiting for her to speak.
"I'd like to thank all of you for your wonderful support and joining me Gabriella Arizona Montez, officially not a gypsy, having the perfect home, it wouldn't be possible for our dear endearing friend, the soon to be Congressman Troy Bolton, you have been perfectly good to me, finding this place and fixing the interior of the whole house for the past three months, for transforming this place in to me and my twins' home, Thank you" she said directly looking into his eyes.
Troy couldn't help but melt, Gabby and he have been extremely well ever since the house hunting, he completely bonded over the twins, his new best friends, he didn't know that repairing his relationship with Gabriella would bring him back to his friends from the world that he has been for the past years. He learned to live his life again.
"To Gabby" he said and raised his glass.
"To Gabby" they all chimed in.
Gabriella sat on the far end from Troy, who was also sitting on the other far end of the table. Chad was sitting on Troy's left side allowing him to have conversation secretly from the other. On his right was his new best friend Luke, who was sipping grape juice from his champagne glass. Beside Chad was Taylor looking very sharp, who was sitting next Lily who was next to Gabriella, sitting beside Luke was Zeke and Sharpay who was next to Gabriella.
"Baylor, the food is wonderful, thank you" Gabriella told Zeke.
"Anything for your house warming party" Zeke smiled at Gabriella.
"Why does it feel just like old times?" Taylor commented.
"Absolutely, but Ryan's missing" Sharpay said agreeing.
"Where is Ryan?" Chad asked.
"He is in London right now" Sharpay answered.
"Who's up for dessert?" Zeke asked standing up from his seat.
"Me" Luke beamed first and all of them laughed in agreement.
GGGGGGG
"This is wonderful" Chad commented as he held out a bottle of beer to Troy as he was standing in the balcony looking over the view of New York City.
"Yeah it is" Troy agreed grabbing the other bottle from Chad and started to drink from it, and they leaned on the grills of the balcony while admiring the view. The girls were inside the living room chatting up while drinking their Champagne and chatting up. Zeke came outside and joined them with a beer of his own.
"So Troy Bolton, you have been perfectly nice to Gabby" Zeke just popped out the topic.
"So she's my friend, and I'm her client, can't I be nice to her?" Troy said.
"Yes, she's your friend and you are her client, Bolton we weren't born yesterday, You and Gab have history as well, and you have been very close with the twins ever since" Chad pointed out.
"Exactly, So Bolton, what's the deal, Are you hatching some kind of devilish plan?" Zeke asked taking another sip of beer.
"No, I am not hatching any plans, besides the twins are awesome, I can't even think of an idea why Ryan isn't spending every moment with those gorgeous children" Troy admitted. Zeke and Chad just looked at each other.
"I could spend every minute with them, and Luke, did you know that he is awesome in basketball at six years old" Troy said.
"Yes, you and Luke have bonded over everything, your taking away my god child you little son of bitch" Chad playfully hit Troy in the back.
"Well, Luke's awesome man" Zeke commented.
"So how's the election coming?" Chad asked.
"Well, I have 88% approval rate for the past month, so I'm taking time for myself" Troy smiled.
"Taking time with Gabriella" Zeke chimed in.
"Is it my fault that we work together?" Troy looked at them.
"No, but Landon sure did a good job picking your attorney" Chad smiled.
As Troy finished his first bottle he didn't hesitate to take another one from the cooler outside the deck they were all chatting on, he looked inside through the glass doors, and admired every thing about Gabriella, how she smiled, how she spoke everything, how she chewed her nails when she was nervous.
"You're still in love with her" Chad said.
"What?" Troy said breaking his gaze from her and to his friends.
"That's not a question; you are definitely still in love with her" Chad said again.
"Did he ever stop?" Zeke smirked.
"Shut up" Troy chuckled.
"Okay Bolton, Are you still in love with Gabriella Montez?" Chad asked.
"You're asking me this why?" Troy countered.
"Answer the damn question, Yes or No" Chad said again.
"Just because, she's back in my life, doesn't mean that I'm in love with her" Troy tried to reason out again, but his mind was only saying one thing.
"Then answer the question" Chad said.
GGGGGGGGGGG
"I think I'm in love with her" Troy said as he shot the orange ball perfectly to the ring.
"Wow, dude that's deep" Chad said.
"You have been dating for the past six months and you were best friends for a year before entering a relationship, I'm wondering how it took you this long to admit this" Zeke commented dribbling.
"I think he felt this long before, but this is the only time he admitted it to us and to himself" Chad said shooting the ball in his hands.
"Are you planning to tell her?" Zeke smiled at him.
"I don't know how" he admitted to his friends retrieving his ball.
"And what if she doesn't feel the same way?" Troy said again.
"Troy are you insane, you and Gabby have been inseparable, of course she feels the same way"
GGGGGGGGGGG
"Yo! Troy!" Chad called him off from his thoughts.
"Yeah?" He said looking
"My wife and I are leaving, don't be a stranger Congressman" Chad playfully patted his back and both of them exited the balcony and entered the living room with the gang all huddled up.
"So it was a nice dinner, and I would love to repeat this again, just like old times" Taylor said standing up as Chad welcomed her in an embrace and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"I second the motion" Zeke agreed.
"Beautiful casa, Bella" Sharpay said giving Gabriella a hug.
"I think it's Beautiful Casa, Chica" Taylor said now giving Gabriella a hug.
"Whatever McKessie" Sharpay rolled her eyes as her friend corrected her.
"Beautiful night my friends, where are the twi-" Chad asked but was interfered by a angelic voice of a boy on the top of the staircase with his blue basketball PJ's on.
"Troy! You're leaving? But you promised" Luke protested.
"Tomorrow, Luke" Troy insisted as he smiled at his friends.
"Moooom!" they heard Lily whine from upstairs.
"I'll see you guys" Gabriella said greeting them off as she went up the staircase.
"I guess, you'll be staying Congressman" Chad chuckled as the two couples entered the private elevator, leaving a grinning Troy, he smiled at his best friends and heard Gabriella talking to Luke on the staircase.
"Sweetie, it's ten and way past your bed time" Gabriella said.
"Come on, Champ" Troy said immediately carrying Luke on his shoulders as he released fits of laughter as Troy and Luke entered his officially furnished room, everything True Blue, this was Troy's and Luke's creation, their mini man cave, it revolved on their one love, Basketball.
"You don't need to" Gabriella said looking at them from the door frame.
"I want to Gabs, go to Lily, I can handle this" Troy grinned lying next to Luke on his bed.
"Now, tell me!" Luke demanded rolling to face Troy.
"Okay, this is between you and me" Troy said.
"Okay"
"Bro to Bro"
"Bro to Bro" Luke repeated.
"I think of my Dad" Troy whispered.
"Your dad? Your Dad the old president of the United States of America inspires you to do good in basketball?" Luke said with his eyes widened.
"No, that's my step Dad, yes he is my dad, but my real Dad's the one I'm talking about" Troy said.
"Like me, I don't know my Dad" Luke pouted.
"Ryan's your Dad buddy" Troy tried to say without flinching the name.
"Uncle Ryan?" Luke giggled.
"No he isn't Mom always says that my Dad's always busy and can't see us" he said covering his body with his blue comforters.
"Go to bed, Champ" Troy said and tucked him in absently thinking of what Luke said.
"I'll see you tomorrow right?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, sure buddy" Troy said as Luke gently closed his eyes.
"Bolton" she whispered standing from the door frame once again.
He stood up from the bed and walked out of his room and shut the lights of the room, leaving the two of them standing in the hallway and walked together.
"So, Lily in bed?" Troy asked.
"Yes, and thank you for taking on the other half" Gabriella said as they walked down the stairs.
"No biggie" he shrugged it off as they walked towards the foyer to the elevator.
"No, I mean thank you, for everything, for giving me shelter, being my boss-" Gabriella was cut off by an unexpected moment.
His lips crashing on hers as he placed his perfect muscular arms around his waist, Gabriella unexpectedly kissing back her arms snaking up his chest and around his neck, but was instantly stopped by a vibrating Blackberry on Troy's pocket, as Gabriella immediately pulled back.
"Damn it, Langdon" Troy said looking at his phone.
"Uhm, Good Night Bolton, I'll see you tomorrow" Gabriella mumbled as Troy entered the elevator.
"Gabby-" he started.
"Good Night Bolton" as the elevator doors closed.
GGGGGGGGGGG
"TROOOY!" Langdon caught his attention.
"Yeah" he said.
"Okay, you're not eve listening! The election is next week!" Langdon added.
"What?" Troy said preoccupied with an unforgettable kiss.
"Okay, I'm gonna ask the only person you listen to now a days talk about this" Langdon said opening the door.
"While I go make your name smell like flowers" he said exiting the room as the Gabriella entered Troy's office.
"Okay, let's discuss your ratings Bolton" Gabriella said sitting in front of Troy's desk.
"Okay Montez, Let's discuss about that kiss" Troy said raising both his eye brows.
GGGGGGGGG
