Secret Relationship with a Star
Chapter 10
"So, still not speaking to you man?" asks Chad.
"She's not speaking to anyone – refuses point blank to speak to anyone. Just applying for jobs and muttering something about leaving" says Troy.
The doorbell rings.
"I gotta go man there's somebody at the door" says Troy
"See you later" says Chad and hangs up.
Troy opens the door.
"AAAAARRRRRRRGHHHH Sharpay" says Troy.
"Miss me?" asks Sharpay.
"How do you know where I live?" asks Troy.
"I know everything hunny" says Sharpay as she pushes past him.
"Scary woman" thinks Troy.
"So did you miss me?" asks Sharpay.
"Where have you been?" asks Troy.
"In London for a year" says Sharpay.
"Oh um I know Zeke missed you why don't you pop round" says Troy.
"No I came to see you who is Gabriella" snaps Sharpay.
"I am and you would be?" asks a voice on the stairs.
"Sharpay Evans Fashion Designer" says Sharpay.
"What made you choose her?" asks Sharpay.
"Gabriella is a lovely gorgeous woman and I won't change her for anything in the world" says Troy.
"What are you trying to say?" asks Sharpay
"You're not the only woman in Troy's Bolton life and he's not interested in you" says Gabriella
"You look like you've just stepped out of school" sneers Sharpay.
"College actually" replies Gabriella, "Full nursery nurse qualification, 3 A*s".
"Well done Gabs" says Troy.
"So how long have you been together?" asks Sharpay.
"7 months today" says Gabriella, looking directly at Troy.
Troy's head snaps up suddenly.
"Er…yeah…seven months today" says Troy looking at Gabriella quickly.
"You don't seem so sure" says Sharpay.
"He is sure" says Gabriella sternly.
"Well, from where I'm standing–"
"Who asked you?!" snaps Gabriella, "what do you want? Why are you even here?"
"You're being a little rude don't you think?" asks Sharpay
"Why are you here?" repeats Gabriella walking forward to stand in front of Sharpay, blocking her view of Troy.
"I'm here for Troy" says Sharpay.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Goodbye" says Gabriella pushing Sharpay out of the house and slamming the door.
"Thank you" says Troy.
Gabriella turns around and heads straight back upstairs, without even glancing in Troy's direction.
"Gabby please talk to me. It's been a month" begs Troy.
She pauses mid-step and turns slightly to face him. As she does she loses her footing but Troy reacts quickly and catches her before she hits the floor.
"Thank you" Gabriella says stiffly.
At the same time they both realise that she is still in Troy's arms.
Troy quickly lets go of her and takes a step back, "I'm sorry".
He looks at her and hesitates before disappearing out the front door leaving Gabriella standing there with a disappointed expression on her face.
Troy comes back 2 hours later and she is still stood there.
"Why did you leave?" asks Gabriella
"I thought you wanted me to go I thought you couldn't stand to be in the same room as me" says Troy
"I thought you don't want me anymore because you left" says Gabriella
"I do want you" says Troy "I always want you" he adds
He wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.
Then they share a sweet simple kiss.
