Chad woke up early the next morning to see Taylor sleeping with her head on his chest. He smiled at the sight before carefully removing himself without waking Taylor. He put the cover over her body and put on his pajama pants before walking out of his bed room. He rubbed his eye as he made his way to the kitchen and saw Troy sitting down with his hands on his head.
"Hey man what's wrong?" He asked. Chad walked over to the cabinet and pulled out tea bags and a cup.
"I don't know. The closer the wedding comes the more stressed I get." Troy responded.
"Taylor and I are the ones planning the wedding, what are you so stressed about?" Chad asked as he heated the water in the cup in the microwave.
"I don't know, I guess I'm just having second thoughts about the wedding."
"Troy, is you saying you don't want to get married?" Chad looked around to check and make sure no one was around. He set the tea bags in the cup and added a few lemon juices.
"I don't know man, I love Gabriella but she's not the same."
"What do you mean?"
"She's focused on other things. And when I mean other things I mean you and Taylor. I can't even have conversations with her like we used to because that's all she cares about." Troy responded looking at Chad.
"Look, she doesn't need to be worrying about Taylor and I. You two were made for each other, just talk to her man." Chad said.
Troy nodded his head. Footsteps were being heard and soon Gabriella walked in the kitchen and looked at the two men.
"I'll let you two talk." Chad grabbed the mug and left the kitchen and walked back to his room.
He walked inside to see Taylor sitting up in the bed; she ran her fingers in her hair.
"Good morning beautiful." Chad walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "I made you some tea."
He handed Taylor the cup, "be careful it's hot."
Taylor took a sip and then handed it back to Chad, who sat it on the nightstand. "Thank you."
There was a silence between them, and they were thinking the same thing. "Taylor we need to talk."
Taylor looked at Chad. "I know. It's crazy what's happening to us."
"Taylor, I want us to be together. We can start off where we left off and everything will be good."
"Chad, start off where we left off? We left off with you leaving me and we broke up. I don't want to start off where we left off." She said.
Chad sighed and put his head down. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was Taylor saying that she didn't want to be with him? After what happened last night and she still didn't want to be with him?
"I want to start fresh." Chad looked up to see Taylor smiling at him and a smile appeared on his face.
Chad leaned and gave Taylor a kiss on the lips.
"I never stopped loving you." He said.
Taylor cupped his face in her hands, "me neither." Taylor kissed him back.
Later that day, Troy and Chad were off picking places for the bachelor party. They drove around to many hotel venues and were now sitting at the local bar.
"So, did you and Gabriella talk?" Chad asked as he took a sip of his drink.
"Yeah, I'm glad I talked to her, it made me feel better. I love Gabriella; I wouldn't want to lose her." Troy responded as he smiled to himself.
"So what's the latest update between you and Taylor? The house has been very peaceful." Troy smirked.
Chad laughed before taking another sip of his drink. "Taylor and I are cool."
"That's it?" Troy asked.
"Yeah." Chad lied. He wasn't aware if Taylor wanted Troy and Gabriella to know they were dating again so he lied.
Troy chuckled, "okay."
Gabriella and Taylor were all out at lunch with Sharpay. They were eating outside at one of Gabriella's favorite restaurants.
"I can't wait till you walk down that aisle Gabriella." Sharpay smiled.
"Me neither. I love Troy, I can't wait to become Mrs. Gabriella Montez-Bolton. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" Gabriella smiled as she looked down at her engagement ring.
"Taylor you're quiet today, what's going on with you?" Sharpay asked.
"I'm fine." Taylor smiled.
"You have been smiling to yourself all morning and glowing. Spill the beans." Gabriella commented.
"Guys, it's nothing. Cant I just be happy?" She asked.
Sharpay and Gabriella sat back in their chair and looked at each other. They nodded their heads at each other.
"You and Chad had sex last night." Sharpay said.
Taylor opened her mouth wide, "Are you guys serious right now?"
"You don't have to tell us, we already know." Sharpay smirked.
Taylor laughed before taking a sip of her drink. Gabriella and Troy's wedding was a month away and there was still a lot to do. When everyone arrived back at the house, Gabriella and Troy gave Chad and Taylor the list of people they were inviting to the wedding and their contact information. Gabriella gave Taylor the number to the catering company and a flower company that she loves.
"Now remember, Troy is allergic to seafood and I can't eat spicy foods. I want this to be a classy event Taylor. So remember no fried foods. I don't want anything that everyone can't eat with a utensil." Gabriella reminded Taylor for the last time.
"Gabriella I already know, you have reminded for about five times now." Taylor laughed.
"I just want to make sure you don't forget. I know how Chad can make you forget things." Gabriella smirked.
"Okay it's time for you to leave." Taylor opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't. She walked over to the door and held it open for Gabriella and Troy to walk out.
Troy and Gabriella went out to do some shopping and they left Chad and Taylor at home to their wedding duties. Taylor was in her room on her laptop emailing everyone from the list so they can be aware about the wedding that was coming up.
Chad walked in and Taylor looked up and smiled. He walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Hey baby, I can't believe Troy and Gabriella have this many friends and family members." He said before he sat down behind Taylor and placed his hands on her waist.
"Me neither, Chad these are a lot of people that they are inviting. The more people you invite, the budget goes higher." Taylor said.
"Baby, this is their wedding. All we have to do is plan it. Don't trip, they make a lot of money, I think they'll be okay." Chad said.
"Chad I need you to call the flower company and order Gabriella's flowers. They already know which ones to start getting together. Make sure they're ready by the day of the wedding." Taylor handed Chad a little card with the flower company's number on it.
He walked out of the room to make the order. Taylor finished emailing everyone and called into the catering company and placed an order for the wedding. She remembered no seafood and no spicy foods. After getting off the phone with the catering company, she received a text message from Ashley Tisdale. She's been wanting to meet up with Taylor so that Taylor could be her choreographer for her new music video.
I would be honored. When would you like to meet?- Taylor.
If tomorrow is good, at 10 AM at Rocker's dance studio. – Ashley
Taylor smiled when she sealed the meeting with the famous pop singer/actress. Taylor screamed in excitement and Chad rushed back in the room.
"Taylor, are you okay?" He asked.
Taylor got out of her bed and shared her exciting news to Chad.
"Congratulations baby. Who is she?" chad asked.
"Are you serious? Remember Suite Life of Zack and Cody? She played Maddie, the blonde one?" Taylor looked at Chad.
"Oh, yeah I know her." Chad responded.
Taylor was so excited she started doing a happy dance which made Chad laugh.
The next morning Taylor got out of Chad's bed and took a shower so that she could meet Ashley in an hour. Chad was up by the time she got out of the shower and Taylor stood on the wall and looked at him.
"Your hair is even bushier in the morning." She laughed.
Chad laughed and shook his head, "Come here."
Taylor walked over to the bed and Chad pulled her down on the bed.
"You think we have time to get a quick one in?" He asked seductively as he tugged on Taylor's towel. She kissed Chad on the lips and then pulled back and looked at him.
"No, I don't want to be late." She said.
"Can I go? I want to see what exactly it is you do." He said.
Taylor looked up at him, "you better hurry."
Chad rushed out of the bed and quickly showered and then began to get dress. He turned to see Taylor looking completely different from what she normally wears. She had on sweat pants, a shirt that wear the sleeves were cut off and you could see her bra, and he hair was in a bun.
"Is that how you dress when you dance?" Chad asked.
"just when I'm teaching a class or something." Taylor shrugged.
"Taylor, your belly ring is showing." He pointed out. "Why you got to look so sexy?"
"Chad, chill. Let's go so we don't be late." Taylor walked out of the room and grabbed her car keys.
Taylor and Chad got in Taylor's car and drove off to Rocker's dance studio. When they pulled into the parking lot, Taylor got her jacket because it was very windy and she put it on. She walked inside the building with Chad walking in behind her.
Guys saw Taylor and looked at her and whistled as she and chad walked down the hall. Taylor ignored them, she was used to the attention but Chad looked down upon the guys who were staring at his girl. Taylor walked into one of the dance rooms and saw Ashley and a few of her background dancers stretching.
"Hello." Taylor introduced herself and gave Ashley a hug. "This is my boyfriend Chad. He just wanted to see what I do."
Chad walked up to Ashley and shook her head, "You know you like our friend Sharpay?"
"I know her, she has that boutique shop, right?" Ashley asked him with a smile and Chad nodded. "I see no resemblance in us what so ever."
Chad shook his head before he was handed Taylor's jacket and he sat down in the side and watched Taylor do her job.
"You're going to do a hip roll and then pop your booty." Taylor demonstrated to Ashley the dance moves.
"I can't do that." Ashley said.
Taylor laughed, "I saw you on Hellcats. You can pop your booty. Now try."
Taylor turned on the music and started the routine from the top and continued teaching it to Ashley till she had it down pack. They rehearsed for three hours and by the time it was over, everyone was sweating.
"Thank you so much." Ashley hugged Taylor. Ashley wrote a check for a thousand dollars and handed it to Taylor. "I will have to recommend people to you."
"Thank you." Ashley walked out of the studio and Taylor walked over to Chad.
He handed Taylor a towel so she could wrap the sweat off of her body and then handed her a water bottle. Taylor took a big gulp of the water and then handed it back to Chad. She put her jacket on and they walked out of the dance studio. They grabbed a bite to eat at the café next door and sat down in the booth next to each other.
"After this we need to go to my house." Chad said. "I need to check my mail."
Taylor could sense that something was bothering Chad but she didn't question him about it. They quickly ate and left the café. Taylor was walking behind Chad as they left and guys were making little remarks about the way she was looking and the things they would do to her. Chad turned around to face one of the guys but Taylor quickly grabbed Chad's arm and pulled him out.
They got in the car and Chad gave her directions to his home. Taylor pulled into Chad's driveway and looked at the mansion that was seen before her. They got out of the car and walked up to the door. Chad got his mail out of his mailbox and pulled out his keys before unlocking the door and walking inside with Taylor behind her.
"Cher! Are you home?" Chad shouted through the house as he went through the mail.
"Taylor, you remember Cher right?" Chad asked.
Taylor heard someone walking down the stairs and looked in that direction to see a girl in booty shorts and a crop top walking down the stairs. The girl walked over to Taylor and greeted her with a fake smile.
"Cher, how are you?" Taylor asked, looking Cher straight in the eyes.
"I'm good. What are you doing here?" Taylor looked at Cher and then back at Chad.
"I live here; me and my son." Cher responded.
Cher was Chad's cousin, who couldn't stand Taylor and Taylor couldn't stand Cher.
"But what are you doing here? I haven't seen or heard of you since you and Chad broke up because he went off to the military." Cher smiled.
"Chad and I are dating." Taylor responded.
Cher looked from Taylor to Chad, who was getting a phone call and he walked off into the kitchen to answer it.
"So how long till you and Chad break up again?" Cher Smirked.
"How long till you admit that there is a penis in between your legs?" Taylor shot back. Cher rolled her eyes.
"I never did like you." Cher flared her nose.
"I never did care." Taylor said.
A little boy walked down the stairs and he gained Cher's and Taylor's attention. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Cher.
"Mom, I'm hungry." The little boy said.
"Go in the kitchen and I'll be there in a second, Carlos." Cher replied and watched the little boy go into the kitchen.
"He's cute, he must get his looks from his father." Taylor smirked.
Cher looked back at Taylor and made a face at her before walking off into the kitchen. Chad walked out the kitchen and walked to Taylor.
"I'm ready." He said.
Taylor nodded and they proceeded to leave his house and drive back to Gabriella and Troy's house.
