"Aw, works every time." He mumbled and went to sleep. Troy Bolton 1, Gabriella Bolton 0.
Being in paradise and a 5 star hotel resort, you would think that there are plenty of things to do. There were but the activities were mostly for more than one person to do. That's why Gabriella was currently sitting in the hotel room bored to death. Troy went swimming and she was watching TV.
Troy opened the door and came to sight of Gabriella lying on the couch clearly staring at the screen without taking anything in. A sign of pure boredom.
"What the hell are you doing sitting here! Why aren't you at the beach tanning or whatever it is you girls do there?"
Gabriella noticed him come in and heard him speak, but since the incident from last night, she decided to ignore him. Troy waited for her answer but when he saw he would be getting none, he went into the bathroom to take a shower and change.
When he came out after half an hour, yea why the hell was he there so long (?!), he found Gabriella in the exact same position he left her in. Rolling his eyes, he came in front of the TV and blocked her view. Gabriella didn't even react and kept staring as if he wasn't sitting there. Second sign of boredom.
"I am going to the city, maybe see the market and few sights, you coming?" he asked. That made Gabriella get out of her trance. She loved sight seeing and she really wanted to get out of the room. The drawback was that she would have to spend her afternoon with this jerk of a husband she had. Boredom or Troy? Very difficult to choose. After a while of thinking about all the pros and cons, Gabriella nodded in agreement.
"Wait here, I am just going to change into something else." She told him while looking at her very short shorts and tank top. Troy rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch previously taken by his 'beloved' wife.
"Fine, but don't take ages. There is no one to impress." He called after her.
"That's why you only took half an hour in the bathroom didn't you?" asked Gabriella sarcastically while rummaging through the closet.
"Shut up, I am a star. I have to look perfect everywhere, even though I already do, naturally. But few touches never hurt anyone right?" he told her cockily.
"Idiot." Mumbled Gabriella while putting on her selected clothes. She chose to wear a light yellow, strapless baby doll tank top, jean shorts and light yellow ballet flats.
"I'm done! Let's go!" she skipped to the door while grabbing her purse.
"Took you long enough." Troy muttered. The two of them made their way down to the lobby and out of the hotel. When they came to the transportation booth, Troy went to talk to the men. Gabriella was standing and enjoying the light sea breeze when Troy came to her with two bicycles.
"What is this?" she asked confused.
"Bicycles." Troy said and looked at her weirdly. What kind of a person doesn't know what a bicycle is?
"I know that, idiot. Let me rephrase my question. Why do you have bicycles?"
"That's how we are getting into town. It was this or walking because all the scooters are taken." He informed her.
"Uh, you know what? I don't really like biking, I think I will walk." Gabriella said somewhat nervously while eyeing the vehicles.
"Are you serious? It's quite far from here and I want to get there today. Just take the bike. Next time I will make sure to reserve a scooter." Troy said while handing her one of the bikes.
"Ac-actually," Gabriella started while holding the bike carefully. "I don't know how to ride a bicycle." She finished while looking down. Troy suddenly burst out laughing and tipping his head back. Gabriella glared at him.
"Stop laughing! It's not funny!" she whined while slapping Troy's chest. Troy stopped but still chuckled a bit.
"You know what? Let's go to the town tomorrow. I will teach you how to ride a bike today." He said seriously. Gabriella's eyes widened and she blushed. She didn't expect that from him. It was kind of…sweet.
"You will? That's, uh… thank you!" she said in disbelief and followed him to an open grassy area.
"You are an idiot! How hard is it to keep balance?" Troy yelled at Gabriella for the hundredth time that day. They started with the basics but Gabriella couldn't get the hang of it and kept falling down. Troy wasn't the most patient person in the world and his patience was currently being tested and stretched to the furthest. His anger was bubbling and everything was threatening to explode.
"I don't know! I just can't do it! It's your fault anyway, you should be a better teacher!" Gabriella yelled in the same amount of anger. She really tried but kept getting it wrong.
"Whatever, you are just dumb. Get on." He brushed her off and helped her get onto the bike again. Gabriella pushed herself off and started pedaling. This time, she didn't fall immediately and went quite far. However, she quickly remembered that she didn't know how to stop.
"How the heck do you stop this? Troy! Help me! I cant stop!" she cried out and panicked. This caused her to lose balance and fall again. Troy came over with a big smirk on his face.
"Seriously, how hard is it to squeeze the brakes? Even a small child could do it. You are really stupid." He snorted while helping her up.
"Not my fault! You are an idiot yourself! What if I fell and broke something? Is this how you treat your wife huh?" Gabriella yelled out in frustration and tears started to well up in her eyes. She crossed her eyes and pouted like a small child throwing and tantrum.
If Troy didn't see the tears in her eyes, he would have laughed at the childishness, but upon seeing the pools welling up, he stopped himself and guilt washed over him.
"Look Brie, I am sorry ok? Don't be like that, don't cry." He said in a soft tone trying to look into her eyes. She, however, kept turning away from him. Troy sighed and looked down. "How about I buy you some ice cream huh? My treat! You can eat as much as you want." He said brightening up at the idea.
"I am not some child you can corrupt with ice cream you know!" Gabriella mumbled while glaring at him. At least she looked at him.
"Oh, come on! Let's go." Troy ignored her remark and dragged her to the ice cream parlor. The two of them got ice cream and sat down on the beach.
"You know I am still mad at you right?" Gabriella told him while licking her Strawberry ice cream. "Oh gosh this is so good." She gushed. Troy only chuckled and kept eating his.
"Aw, it's good to be home!" Gabriella yelled out when Troy unlocked the doors of their house in LA.
The pair had spent the rest of the week in Bahamas sight seeing and shopping. The day after Troy tried to teach Gabriella how to ride a bike, they rented a scooter and Troy drove them to the town. Both came back tan and somewhat happy. The whole vacation was great, but it was time for them to face the real world of paparazzi and spotlight.
"Whatever just start cleaning up. I see dust everywhere, it's disgusting." Troy said while bringing in all of their things, which grew two times bigger thanks to the many new things they purchased. Gabriella just rolled her eyes and went to unpack and clean the house.
She was in the mist of folding the laundry when Troy called her into the living room.
"What do you want? I am busy." She asked him while descending the stairs.
"Just come here! I have a surprise for you!" Troy yelled back. Curious, Gabriella made her way into the room where Troy stood with his hand in the back clearly hiding something from her in his hands.
"What is it?" she asked while trying to look behind his back. Troy wordlessly took the box and gave it to her. Double taking it, Gabriella's eyes widened in shock. It was the newest model of a Tablet PC laptop.
".God!" she breathed out while looking at the package.
"I noticed you wrote stories with that crappy old thing you call a laptop and as my wife you cant be seen with anything like that. So there, that's for you." Troy said while rolling his eyes at how eager she was to open it.
"Thank you!" Gabriella yelped out and hugged him without thinking. Troy not expecting this froze in shock but slowly returned the hug. Suddenly Gabriella realized what she was doing and pulled back hurriedly.
"Oh god, sorry! I, uh, didn't mean to." She mumbled out while blushing profusely.
"It's… never mind." Troy said while rubbing the back of his neck. Remembering something, he quickly pulled her towards the glass door towards the back yard. "I have something else for you!"
When they went out, Gabriella looked around confusedly. What the heck?
"Uh, thanks, but what is it?" Troy sighed impatiently and pointed to the back part of the yard. Gabriella followed his finger and saw a brand new bike standing there.
"You got me a bicycle?" she gasped while running towards it.
"Yea, I figured we could continue in the lessons. Afterall, you need to know how to ride a bike. You never know when it comes in handy."
"Now, put your hand in the pocket and look at the camera." The photographer continued to give the male model directions.
Sharpay was standing and watching on the sidelines. Her new line of male clothes was currently on a photo shoot. However, she still felt like something was missing but she couldn't put a finger on it.
"Hunch your shoulders a bit and look to the right with a serious expression." the orders kept flowing and the sound of camera clicking was constant.
She frowned. If Troy was here, he would have looked different. Even better than the male model. Her clothes always looked best on him. Suddenly, a thought occurred in her head and she walked out of the room. Sliding her phone open, she dialed the familiar number and waited for the person to pick up.
Troy was reading the newspaper when his phone rang. Snapping it open, he didn't bother to look at the ID and picked up.
"Talk to me."
"Well hello to you too Troy. Long time no talking. How are you?" the oh so familiar voice said and Troy froze in his seat.
"What do you want Sharpay?" he snarled.
"How do you feel about modeling my new clothing line? Just few photos is all. Nothing big." Troy was angry. She treated him like nothing during that party, telling him she loves another man and now she acts like it never happened? Troy was trying to get over her and forget all about her. Why would he comply?
"No." he said without thinking and hung up. How dare she. Frustrated, Troy decided to go for a run that he had neglected during the few days of his a Gabriella's 'honeymoon'.
"What are you doing right now?" Troy asked Gabriella after he returned from his run and showered.
"Well, I am done cleaning, so I figured I could start on dinner?" Gabriella said while checking her cell for any messages. None.
"Nonsense. It's like 4 in the afternoon. Who eats this early?"
"I do, you got a problem with that?"
"Yea I do! Come on, it's time we put that bike to use." Troy said and dragged her to the back garden. Gabriella wordlessly followed him, inside excited to try again
Two hours of fooling around in the yard and trying to cycle had passed so quickly, neither of them realized the time.
"Ahh, be careful! I am going to fall into the pool if we practice too close to it!" Gabriella laughed out loud.
"Yea well maybe I will help out a bit and push you." Chuckled Troy while slowly getting near her.
"Don't you dare Bolton! I go fall and we both go down!" Gabriella threatened while giggling. In that moment Troy pushed her but Gabriella reacted fast and grabbed his wrist. Both of them fell into the pool laughing.
When they resurfaced, Gabriella splashed some water into Troy's face and giggled.
"Really Bolton? Really? You just had to push me right? Now both of us are wet!" she joked with him carelessly. Troy couldn't help but notice how nice her laugh sounded and made him smile even more.
"So what? You need a shower anyway, you stink!" He said back and Gabriella pretended to gasp dramatically.
"I do not stink! You are the one doing all the exercise. Your body odor is like…" Gabriella trailed of not knowing what to say.
"Like what?" Troy asked her, daring her. Unknowingly to both of them, they were getting closer and closer together.
"Uhm, like fish!" Gabriella said, suddenly aware of Troy's ocean blue eyes. What was she saying again?
In return, Troy stared into pools of chocolate. He decided quickly that it was his favourite food and color. What other taste existed again? They were so close, almost too close. Gabriella could feel his breath on her lips and it tickled her.
They were about to connect lips when the doorbell could be heard. They quickly sprung apart and wordlessly swam to the edge of the pool. Damn the person who was at the door.
Quickly running to into the bathroom, Gabriella brought out two towels for her and Troy. Without looking at him, she gave it to him and they made their way to the front door. Gabriella still didn't dare to look anywhere else but the floor as she was sure her face was the color of a tomato stood next to Troy who opened the door revealing Sharpay.
"Hello you two. Am I interrupting something?" she asked with a smirk looking between the couple.
