CHAPTER 10

The sky was a beautiful blue as Gabi went for her early morning walk, pleased that she hadn't bumped into Troy like she had that first day she'd come out for a walk and the paparazzi weren't camped outside the hotel yet which she was thankful of considering her casual attire.

She sat down to breakfast with a mound of pastries and tucked in with gusto, trying not to get too many flakes down her but finding them on her lap every time she looked down.

She felt a little disappointed that Troy hadn't appeared at breakfast but she reminded herself she were angry at him and she was only disappointed because she hadn't vented that anger yet.

He wasn't in the foyer either when she met Harry and she looked at him in confusion

"Is he late?" she checked.

"No, he's out in the car" Harry smiled and they went out together.

"Good morning, Little Miss Montez" Troy said as Gabi got into the car and she sighed.

"And I thought I'd missed having to look at your ugly face" she barbed.

"Now, now, we all know I'm not ugly" he smiled winsomely.

She turned in disbelief at his audacity "You are such and egotistical moron!" she fumed.

"You didn't have coffee yet, did you?" he asked calmly like he was speaking to a particularly stupid person and Gabi just about boiled at his tone.

"Don't speak to me, Ego Trip!" she warned, folding her arms across her chest.

Troy watched her with a big grin, but he was nervous as hell. He'd completely fucked up that kiss and he wasn't doing a very good job of convincing her he was sorry. He was pretty sure she had enjoyed it as much as he had although he knew she'd been angry when he'd dropped her like that.

Damn but he'd been so caught up in that kiss that he'd forgotten the world around him still span and that he had a movie to finish. But there was no way on god's earth he was going to tell her that.

"Back to Ego Trip huh? You must be really pissed…" he mused.

"Pissed? Pissed?!" she shouted irately, laughing at his apparent joke "Pissed doesn't even begin to cover it!" she said as they pulled up outside the set and she opened her door and quickly exited. "You are unbelievable!" she raged as she slammed the car door shut.

"Hey, what did I do?" he asked, palms outstretched beseechingly as he came around the car to her and Gabi stared at him and then moved to storm into the warehouse.

"I was just standing there reading my lines" he muttered to himself.

"I'll tell you what you did!" Gabi said hotly, storming back toward him and taking him by surprise.

"Whoa!" he held his hand up in surrender. He didn't know how someone so small could have so much anger but she was really packing it to him today.

"You..!" she jabbed her finger into his rock hard chest but he merely looked down at her with a small smile "You made me kiss you!" she hurled and a smile fought at his lips before he burst into laughter, sending her contempt to stratospheric levels.

"I didn't MAKE you do anything" he lifted his thick eyebrows daring her to contradict him. She'd wanted that kiss as much as he had; only she was in denial about it for some unknown reason.

She huffed twice then stormed off again, much to his amusement. When he finally got Gabi into bed, he was going to enjoy it a hell of a lot, he could tell.

----

"Are you gonna puke on me again if I sit here?" he asked as Gabi ate her macaroni cheese and basked in the afternoon sun, hiding behind her shades.

"There's a strong chance" she quipped.

"Possible or very likely?" he checked, still hovering and she noted that he really was unsure about joining her. It didn't seem to have bothered him before.

"It's not like you to care" she said more gently, pursing her lips and Troy knew her anger was ebbing.

"I care" he said and sat down, studying her "But you don't believe me anyways so…" he bit into his giant sausage sandwich and Gabi's mouth watered. Why hadn't she got one of those? He seemed to notice because he held it out across the table with his brows lifted and spoke with his mouth full.

"Wanna bite?" he asked and she looked sheepish. "Go on" he smiled around his mouthful and she felt her insides curl. Why was he being so damn nice? He was easy to hate when he was obnoxious. Not so much when he was like this. But she didn't know which guy was really him, or which she preferred.

Being close to him was extremely dangerous. She'd lost all her control in his arms. The careful barrier she had built around herself was slowly wearing down and his kiss had almost blown it to smithereens.

She leaned forward to take a bite and flicked her eyes up at his, doubting his sincerity and she went to bite into the sandwich but he pulled it away, making her blush, her brown eyes hurt, not annoyed like he'd hoped and he felt like a shitbag for doing that.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist" he said softly, passing her the sandwich "Have as much as you like." He offered and she almost turned him down but she took it and had a bite, then another, than handed it back to him wordlessly.

He grinned at her like a little boy and Gabi tilted her head to revel in it.

"You got…" he pointed at her face "You got sauce, right there…" he pointed at his own cheek and she wiped at her face self-consciously

"Here…" he smiled and he leant over to wipe off the sauce with a napkin and Gabi had never felt so ashamed in her life but his soft smile told her she didn't need to be.

"Thank you" she said.

"Oh, you're speaking to me, then? I wasn't sure" he said with humour.

She licked her teeth "I don't have much choice" she said, but her heart wasn't in it.

"You know, we need to go out and have some fun tonight" he said, sitting up from his slouched position.

She laughed shortly "Oh, no we don't"

"We do" he argued.

"We don't"

"We so do. Not to get drunk, I don't need any more puking down my crown jewels thank you. But just- out." He said.

"Troy, I can think of a million reasons why I wouldn't go out with you but the major one is my father and how much fun do you think we would actually have?" she asked.

"A million reasons huh?" he said instead "Give me one, apart from your dad"

She thought quickly. Oh damn, come on witty brain don't let me down now. "I don't like you" she said and he chuckled. He actually laughed at her!

"Okay" he sobered as her face set in stone "That's a great reason. But you might get to like me, so that doesn't count"

"What!?" she cried "Fine. You're ugly" she fired out and he lifted a brow.

"You're gonna have to do better than that. I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend, it's just a night out" he shrugged "Lets face it, we're the only two people here under 30" he smiled that winning smile and Gabi looked to him, though hidden behind her sunglasses.

"Are you chicken?" he squinted at her, knowing it would rile her up.

She couldn't let him get the better of her; there was just something inside her that had to prove a point.

"Are you willing to face the wrath of my father?" she asked back.

"Sure" he shrugged.

"And the press?" she asked again.

"I do every day" he sighed, wondering if she was actually agreeing to go out with him.

"Fine. I'll go out tonight" She agreed and his eyebrows shot into his fringe.

"Alright!" he grinned.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"I…err…I haven't decided yet. But you will not regret this, we are gonna have F-U-N" he beamed.
