~Sunday, July 14, 2009, Los Angeles.
After the short encounter Gabriella had with Troy and Tyler, Troy and her got in their cars and drove off to the nearest grocery store. Once Gabriella arrived at the store, she parked in a parking space only to see Troy park right next to her. She grabbed her bag and fixed her make-up a little before exiting her car. She then walked over to Troy who was getting Tyler out of his car seat. When Troy finally got Tyler out he carried him in his arms and grabbed the baby bag. He shut the door behind him and then he walked to the entrance of the store with Gabriella following.
In the store, Gabriella grabbed a shopping cart and Troy put Tyler in the front seat. Troy then started to walk further into the store while Gabriella followed, pushing the cart. First, Troy walked over to the produce section and started to get some apples.
"Daddy! No abbles!" Tyler whined as he kicked his legs in the cart. Gabriella giggled and then put her purse in the cart. Troy then put the apples in the cart and continued to pick some more fruit. While Gabriella was grabbing some of Tyler's toys from the baby bag, Tyler reached over in the cart and grabbed a chocolate bar and put it down in the cart. Gabriella heard the thump in the cart and then saw a chocolate bar land in it. She smiled and then picked up the candy and put it behind her back.
"What did you just put in the cart Tyler?" Gabriella asked as she went over to the front side of the cart and started to push.
"Nothing," Tyler answered innocently as he gave Gabriella a sweet little smile.
"Oh, really? What's this?" Gabriella questioned as she held up the chocolate bar.
"I don't know?" Tyler answered as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Nice try," Gabriella commented as she put the candy bar back, "Too much candy is bad for your body, Tyler."
Tyler just crossed his arms over his chest and looked the other way. Gabriella laughed at him and ran her fingers through his hair before continuing to push.
When Troy, Gabriella and Tyler were in the cereal section, Troy got Tyler some cheerios and showed it to Tyler.
"Do you want this cereal, Tyler?" Troy asked.
"No," Tyler answered but Troy put it in the cart anyways, "I said no daddy!"
"I know you said no. But this cereal is good for you so you're going to eat it no matter what," Troy added as Tyler frowned up at him.
"You mean," Tyler commented as he shot his dad a glare.
"I love you, too, Tyler," Troy fixed as he placed a kiss on Tyler's forehead. He then continued to walk down the aisle with Gabriella following.
When Troy was finished grocery shopping, he walked to the check-out and started to put the stuff on the conveyer belt, with Gabriella helping. Tyler was just sitting there, watching them and then grabbed some candy and put it on the conveyer belt. Gabriella smirked at him before picking up the candy and showing it to him.
"What did I say about candy?" Gabriella questioned. Tyler rolled his eyes and looked up at her.
"It bad for your body," Tyler repeated. Gabriella smiled at him and then put the candy away.
"Can I pwease have one candy bar?" Tyler begged. Gabriella looked at him as he made pouted his lip and gave her begging eyes. Gabriella sighed before picking up a Hershey's bar and grabbing her wallet. She then stood in line after Troy and waited until he was finished paying.
Once Troy was finished paying, he put all the grocery bags in the cart while Gabriella payed for Tyler's chocolate bar. When she got her receipt back, she walked over to Troy, who was pushing the cart back to his car, and followed him.
"What's that?" Troy asked, referring to the plastic bag in Gabriella's hand.
"Oh, nothing, just a little something I bought for myself," Gabriella lied as they arrived at Troy's car. Troy opened his trunk and started to load the groceries in it while Gabriella was getting Tyler out of the grocery cart. She then carried him to his car seat and buckled him, before holding up the bag in her hands and taking out the candy bar.
"Don't tell your daddy," Gabriella whispered as she opened the candy and gave Tyler a small piece.
"Thank you, Gabrwiella!" Tyler replied as he chewed on his chocolate. Gabriella smiled at him as he leaned up and pecked her cheek.
"Your welcome, sweetie," Gabriella added as she gave Tyler another piece. She then looked back to see that Troy was putting the cart away.
"You're daddy's coming," Gabriella warned as Tyler gulped down the chocolate. Gabriella then gave him one last piece and put it away in the bag.
"I'll see you soon Tyler, bye!" Gabriella said as she gave Tyler a quick kiss on the forehead. She then closed the back seat door and walked over to Troy.
"I'll see you later Troy," Gabriella replied as she started to walk to her car.
"Wait, Gabriella!" Troy called after her, which made Gabriella turn back around.
"Thanks for watching after Tyler while I was shopping," Troy added as he put on his Ray Ban aviators.
"No problem, Troy. I'll see you tonight," Gabriella replied as she leaned over and gave Troy a small kiss on the cheek. She then pulled away and smiled at him before walking over to her car. Troy just stood there and smiled like an idiot. He then walked over to his car and drove back to his house.
When Gabriella arrived back at her house, she grabbed her handbag and the plastic bag that had the chocolate in it, and headed inside. She threw her bag on her granite counters and then threw the melting chocolate in the trash can. She then heard her phone vibrate in her hand and picked it up to see that she had one new text message. She tapped on it with her finger and saw that it was Troy.
(Bold- Gabriella's texting. Italics- Troy's texting)
I'll pick you up at 7 tonight! And don't eat dinner! (:
Gabriella smiled before replying: Okay, I'll see you at 7! 3
She then put her phone back in her bag and headed up to her room to change into some sweats. She then went back downstairs and went over to the living room to watch TV.
She turned it on and saw 16 and pregnant plastered on the screen. She then saw a red head woman carrying a little baby in her arms. It had brown eyes, light skin and was wearing a blue onesie. It reminded her of Tyler, with the brown eyes and light skin. She smiled as the woman gave the little baby a kiss on its forehead. Gabriella lightly smiled before continuing to watch. 'At least her parents let her keep the baby.' Gabriella thought, recalling of the day her father took her own baby away from her. Gabriella sighed and then changed the channel.
At 6:30pm, Gabriella had asleep on her couch. She didn't bother to wake up and the TV was still on though.
Meanwhile, Troy was at his parents' house to drop off Tyler. He grabbed the baby bag and picked Tyler up and headed to the front door. He knocked on the door twice before seeing his mom appear in the doorway.
"Hi Troy, come inside," Troy's mom greeted as she opened the door wider for Troy. Troy stepped inside and put Tyler down on the ground.
"Here's the baby bag mom and thanks for babysitting at the last minute," Troy replied as he handed his mom the baby bag.
"You're welcome Troy, but where are you going tonight? You look nice and you've shaved," Troy's mom asked, referring to Troy's outfit. He was wearing a white V-neck, which showed his muscles perfectly, some dark blue skinny jeans and white tennis shoes (Outfit on Profile). He also had a navy jacket back in his car, just in case he got cold.
"I'm going to the movies," Troy answered nervously, hoping his mom wouldn't ask more questions.
"With who?" Troy's mom questioned.
"With a couple of friends," Troy lied.
"Like who?" Troy's mom asked, again.
"Uh, me and Gabriella," Troy stammered.
"Who's Gabriella?" Troy's mom questioned, once again and then gasped, "Is she your date tonight?"
"Maybe," Troy smirked. He then opened then opened the door behind him and took one step out.
"Bye mom," Troy replied, "Tyler come give daddy a big hug before I leave."
Tyler came running over in a matter of seconds and held his arms in the air, waiting for Troy to scoop him up in his arms.
"Bye daddy," Tyler said as Troy leaned down and pecked his forehead.
"Bye Tyler," Troy added as Tyler put his arms down, disappointed and started to walk away. Troy saw the sad look on Tyler's face and reached over into the house and scooped him up in his arms, by surprise. He then heard Tyler squeal in happiness.
"Give daddy a big kiss before I go," Troy ordered as Tyler nodded. He then leaned over and placed a big kiss on Troy's cheek.
"See you later daddy," Tyler added as troy put him down. Troy then smiled before walking over to his car and driving over to Gabriella's house.
When Troy arrived at Gabriella's house, he fixed his hair in the rear view mirror before stepping out of the car and heading to the front door. He rang the doorbell once and waited for Gabriella to answer.
Meanwhile, Gabriella was sleeping soundly before she heard her doorbell ring. Her eyes opened immediately and she rubbed her eyes. She messed her hands in her hair and then stood up. She walked over to her front door and opened it, yawning.
"Hey Troy," Gabriella yawned as she stretched her arms in the air, "What are you doing here?"
"Uh, didn't we have plans to go to the movies?" Troy questioned, obviously. Gabriella eyes widened in surprise and her mouth fell open in shock.
"Oh, my, gosh, I totally forgot! I'm so sorry Troy," Gabriella replied as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Oh," Troy mumbled, disappointed. How could she forget? Maybe he wasn't that special to her like he thought he was.
"I was watching TV and then I fell asleep and then you came," Gabriella babbled.
"It's fine Gabriella, but if you don't want to go I understand so I'll just go-," Troy started to say but then Gabriella interrupted.
"Troy, you know I would love to go to the movies with you, let me just go upstairs and get dressed. Come in and maybe you can help me find something to wear," Gabriella explained as Troy stepped into the house. Gabriella then took his hand and led him up the stairs.
Once in Gabriella's room, Gabriella walked over to her closet and started to look through her clothes to see what to wear. Troy came up behind her started to look through her clothes too. Gabriella smiled at him and then pulled out a white blouse.
"How about this?" Gabriella asked as she held the shirt up to her body.
"I like that and how about this tan leather jacket?" Troy suggested as he showed the jacket to Gabriella.
"Wow, I didn't even know I had that," Gabriella confessed as Troy handed her the jacket. Gabriella then grabbed some black skinny jeans and her Christian Louboutin heels. She then pushed Troy out of her closet, playfully, and got dressed in the outfit.
"Hey!" Troy whined.
"I'm getting dressed now. You don't need to see anything underneath my clothes," Gabriella replied.
"Yet," Troy mumbled. He then regretted his words because it made him sound like a perv. Gabriella then came out a few seconds wearing the outfit Troy and her picked out (Outfit on Profile).
"You like?" Gabriella asked, playfully as she walked over to Troy. Troy then held out her hand for her. Gabriella took into her hand and then walked closer to Troy.
"You look amazing," Troy confessed as he twirled her around with his fingers.
"Thank you," Gabriella added. She then led Troy downstairs to her kitchen to grab her bag. They both then went to Troy's car and drove off to the movies.
At the movies, Troy parked the car in one of the parking spaces. He then got out of the car, as well as Gabriella, and walked over to Gabriella. He lightly grasped her hand only to feel Gabriella grab on tighter. She then intertwined their fingers together and smiled up at Troy. Troy looked at her and smiled back before going to the front to purchase their tickets.
Once they bought their tickets, Troy paying of course, they went to the snack counter to grab some snacks.
"What do you want to get to eat?" Gabriella asked Troy.
"Anything you want, I'll pay," Troy answered.
"Oh, no, I'll pay, I insist," Gabriella offered.
"Fine," Troy sighed, but he knew he wasn't going to let her pay.
"How about we split a drink and popcorn? And maybe even some candy. Is that good?" Gabriella suggested.
"Yeah, that sounds good, but how do you like your popcorn?" Troy questioned.
"Extra butter," Troy and Gabriella answered at the same time and then walked over to the desk to order their food.
When it was time to pay, Gabriella got out her wallet fast and had her debit card in her hands But Troy also had his debit card in his hands too. Gabriella shoved her card into the cashier's hands and then stuck her tongue out at Troy. Troy rolled his eyes as Gabriella took her card back and put it in her wallet. Troy then grabbed the drink and the candy while Gabriella grabbed the huge bucket of popcorn. They then walked over to a table that had straws and napkins.
Troy grabbed a few napkins and 2 straws and then decided where to put the straws, since he and Gabriella had their hands full.
"Just put it here," Gabriella replied as she opened her mouth.
"Uh, no," Troy added.
"Oh, come on, the movies going to start soon," Gabriella reasoned. Troy looked at her and sighed before putting the straws in her mouth. Gabriella smiled and walked to the movie theater with Troy.
When they got to the theater, Gabriella and Troy shuffled through the people to their seats. Gabriella sat next to a blonde headed girl while Troy was sitting next to a red headed girl. Troy put the drink in the cup holder while Gabriella put the popcorn in her lap. When they both were situated Troy and Gabriella talked for a few minutes before the movie started.
"Remind me why we decided to see a scary movie?" Gabriella asked as Troy shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't you like scary movies?" Troy asked back.
"Sort of. If I'm watching them alone then no. If I'm with someone then yes because then I have someone to protect me," Gabriella answered. She just made up some cheesy excuse.
"Well, you're going to have to settle for me to 'protect you'," Troy added.
"Just don't be weirded out if I grab onto your arm or something during the movie," Gabriella warned. They then both stopped talking because the movie, or at least the previews, started.
Sometime in the middle of the story, there was a scene where a guy was committing suicide. Gabriella gasped as she watched the blood pour onto the ground. She then grabbed onto Troy arm and hid behind it. Troy was a bit surprised when he felt Gabriella latch onto his arm but then got used to it was then rubbed her arm.
"It's just a movie," Troy whispered as Gabriella looked up at him. Troy could see the scared look on her face and then smiled softly. He then placed a kiss on her forehead, which made her smile at him. Troy then put an arm around her shoulder and brought her closer to his body. Gabriella just rested her head on his shoulder and they continued to watch the movie.
When the movie was over, Troy and Gabriella stood up from their seats. The finished the candy and most of the popcorn was gone, which made Gabriella feel like a pig. The both of them then headed towards the exit of the theater and threw their trash away in the trashcan. They both then walked out of the movie theater and headed towards Troy's car, with their hands still intertwined. Troy then drove off back to Gabriella's house.
At Gabriella's house, Troy and Gabriella exited the car and walked to Gabriella's front porch. They stopped in front of the door and Troy looked down at Gabriella who was fiddling with her house keys. He knew he needed to make his move, fast, before she went inside her house.
"I had a great time tonight, Troy," Gabriella spoke up.
"Me too," Troy agreed. Man, why was he so chicken?! Just kiss her good-bye! Troy then leaned in and gave Gabriella a light kiss on her cheek. Gabriella smiled lightly, but Troy could see a bit of disappointment in her face. Gabriella was hoping Troy would grab her by the waist and kiss her full on the lips. Was it too early to do that? Maybe to other people but Gabriella felt as though she met Troy somewhere. Gabriella shook the thought off and then gave Troy a small wave.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later, then," Gabriella added as she put her house key in the lock. She then took a step in her house, letting a single tear fall down her cheek. She was dying for those lips of his, but it was WAY too early for them to kiss. She quickly wiped the tear away but then felt Troy grab her hand, tightly.
"Wait, Gabriella," Troy said as Gabriella looked back at him. Troy hesitantly leaned towards her and gently placed his lips on her lips. Troy felt electricity shoot up his body and noticed that his heart beat has increased, rapidly.
Gabriella was a bit took back by this action but then took a step back outside and wrapped her arms around Troy's neck. She felt as though his lips left a familiar touch on hers but then left her thought at that. She felt a shock from her lips to her lower part of her body. Her heartbeat increased and she loved how Troy's lips were placed soft against hers, the taste of buttery popcorn seasoned his lips. Troy wrapped his arms around Gabriella's waist and felt Gabriella deepen the kiss by pulling his head into hers more. After a few more second of kissing, Gabriella finally pulled away, breathing heavily. She rested her head on Troy's forehead and took deep breaths in and out as well as Troy.
"Good-night Troy," Gabriella added as she grinned, widely. Troy smiled back as closed his eyes to remember this moment forever.
"Good- night Gabriella," Troy replied as he pulled away from her forehead and watched as she went into her house. When her front door was closed Troy couldn't help but get his excitement out.
"We kissed! Oh, yeah, me and Gabriella Montez kissed!" Troy screamed as he skipped over to his car yelling "whippes's, woo hoo's and oh yeah's" all the way there.
Meanwhile, Gabriella was inside and had a dreamy look on her face. The face was soon gone when she heard someone yell her name. She looked out her window by her door and saw Troy skipping to his car cheering. Gabriella laughed and then turned around back to her house.
"He's crazy," Gabriella mumbled. Sure he was crazy, but Gabriella loved it.
