Chapter 10

"Hey guys, are your bags put away yet?" Alex asked as he entered mine and Gabriella's room. We nodded as I lazed down on the couch flipping through the channels as she read a book on the bed. "You guys don't mind this right?" We shook our head showing we were okay with this. "Oh, and sorry about there only being one bed," he finished with much amusement and when Gabriella shrugged and went back to her book he winked at me secretively before exiting causing me to shake my head. Did I just make friends with another Chad? Oh boy.

I heard Gabriella's stomach rumble from the bed while she looked at it and released and embarrassed chuckle.

"I think someone's a little hungry," I said with much amusement.

She laughed. "Yah, a little."

"Want me to order some room service for you?"

She looked thoughtful for a second. "How about we go out to eat and hang out?"

Like I would miss the chance for that? "Sure," I told her, switching the T.V. off and standing. "Let's go."

She placed her book on the side table and stood also as we both got our things before heading out. She quickly put sunglasses over her eyes and grabbed a hat.

"What with the get up?"

"Let's just say if you don't want to be trampled over by people, I have to wear this," she said with a chuckle.

"Things have changed since high school, haven't they?"

"Defiantly."

As we stepped out of the hotel I saw that the sun was setting by now so we had to hurry and eat dinner.

"So were do you want to go?" I asked her.

"Doesn't matter."

---

After we ate we decide to go for a walk.

"So Gabi, what happened to you after high school? You know, after you left," I asked with my hand buried into my pockets and looked at her as we continued waling.

"Well, first I went to my dad's house to stay until school started. But while I was at my dad's me and my friends would always go out and sing karaoke and I don't know, one day Alex was there and the rest is history."

We came across a small park and I guided Gabriella over to the swing and sat her down, going behind and began pushing her.

"So Troy, any new girlfriends?" she asked curiously.

I shook my head though she couldn't see. "Not really. Noting quite serious."

"Why not?"

I shrugged. "I don't know."

Because I couldn't stop thinking about you.

I stopped pushing Gabriella and she slowed down to a halt as I came and kneeled down in front of her. I slowly pulled off her hat and glasses as she stared at me confusedly.

"Can I try something out?" I asked her as my heart pounded in a chest.

She furrowed her brow. "What is it?"

I shook my head. "Don't ask, just please?"

She looked uncertain but nodded nonetheless.

"Close your eyes," I whispered and she quickly obliged.

I can't believe I'm doing this, I thought and took in a shaky breathe.

I kissed her.

A/N: Hello everyone. Long time no see huh? I'm so sorry! I had an authors block, but I think I may be over it now. Short, I know. But I needed (more like wanted) to end it here. It wouldn't be my story without cliff hangers. I already know what will be in the next chapter…hopefully. LOL. Anyways, hope you don't hate me. Hey, I got him to kiss her! But you'll probably hate me after the next chapter. Well I'll try updating as soon as I can. Enjoy!
