Chapter 10
Gabriella's POV
Last time:
I slowly opened my eyes and gasped. He was right. It was beautiful up there. The view was amazing. You could see the whole carnival up here and the sunset. I turned to him and smiled.
"You're right. It's beautiful up here," I breathed.
Troy didn't reply but he smiled. I didn't notice how close we were as he started to lean in. Before I knew anything, our lips touched.
Troy pulled back and he looked very anxious. I was also stunned. I never expected this to happen. But I sure did enjoy it. I liked it a lot. I blushed and avoided his gaze. This is gonna be so awkward. He would never like me. He must have thought I was someone else. But then I couldn't help but think maybe he actually kissed me because he liked me?
"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know what I was thinking. I just felt l…" Troy started babbling.
I stifled a giggle.
"It's okay. I-I don't regret it," I said quietly, finally looking at him.
He looked at me with a hopeful glint in his eyes but he was also shocked. Maybe I was wrong. What if he does like me?
"Y-you don't?"
"I don't, honestly. I-I'm not sure if this is the right time but I just wanted to say, I-I really like you."
Troy smiled triumphantly as if he just won something. I sent him a soft smile.
"I like you a lot too."
My heart melted at that exact moment. He liked me. He really said it. Oh. My. God. I couldn't describe how I was feeling. Happy, excited, glad, delighted. Nothing can represent how happy I'm feeling right now. There were butterflies in my stomach. My head leaned on his shoulders as Troy held my hand tightly. We didn't say anything. We just stayed silent until the ride ended. We got off the cart and walked towards the exit. We didn't talk to each other but we kept holding hands. We decided to go back my foot. Even though we weren't speaking, we still held hands. Just as we were about to go into the lobby, Troy opened his mouth and talked.
"Brie, I know we just got along with each other as we weren't friends when we were in Albuquerque. But, well, will you be my girlfriend?"
I smiled widely like there's not tomorrow. This is a dream come true! I told you so. I guess my inner me was right all along. Of course I am! I am the deepest part of you! I turned to look at him.
"Yes! Yes! Of course!" I squealed.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged my new boyfriend. I never dated anyone before. Sure, I had boys asking me out, but I never said yes. He was my first boyfriend, not to mention my first kiss. Troy kissed my temple, then my forehead, my cheek and my lips.
"You Gabriella Montez, are an amazing person," He whispered.
"And you Mr. Troy Bolton, are incredible," I said.
We walked into the hotel hand in hand, both chatting happily. An old lady walked by and smiled at us sweetly.
"Ah, young love." said the old woman.
We beamed at her. We walked into the elevator, stealing glances at each other as we went up. There was only one thing on my mind.
I'm definitely falling for him.
Sorry for the short chappie! I promise to have a longer chapter next time. I hope you liked this chapter:)
