T-Shirt - Part 11
Gabriella was getting ready to leave the house. Today she was going to pick up her wedding dress and have her final fitting. She had it especially made for her and it was a Vera Wang. She wanted to just get a nice, little dress that wasn't pricey but it was one thing Troy pushed on her to spend money on. He wanted it to be a magical day and if that meant spend thousands on a dress he would be willing to pay it.
Gabriella smiled at the thought, he always wanted her to feel like a princess. She has also picked her bridesmaid dresses. Kelsi has managed to get a few weeks off work to come and spend time back home and to attend the wedding. So that meant Kels, Tay and Shar were her bridesmaids, she couldn't choose one of the three to be maid of honour so she put them all as the same title.
Chad was obviously Troy's best man then Zeke and Jason were going to be grooms men. Jason also managed to get the time off to come back which Kels was excited about. Her and Jason split up after college when they both moved, saying they couldn't deal with the distance. Good thing was it was a mutual decision so both still speak all the time. Everyone knew they still loved each other but were just scared to get hurt.
Lilly of course was going to be flower girl. Gabriella has bought her the cutest dress ever and she knows everyone is going to cry when they see it. Another thing, Gabriella has sworn all the girls to secrecy and made them promise not to say what any of the dresses are like. She wants the whole thing to be a surprise. They have only seen their dresses, none have seen the brides dress or the flower girls.
Gabriella was pulled from her thoughts by the feel of Troy's lips on her shoulder. She tilted her head back and sighed in pleasure and happiness at his smooth lips softly kissing her sweet spot.
"Hey baby" he whispered turning her in his arms.
"Hey" they kissed softly and then both pulled away smiling.
"When are you leaving?" He asked her whilst holding her waist.
"Umm, about half an hour, my appointment is at 10:30" she replied with her arms around his neck.
"Ok, are you still not showing the girls your dress?"
"Nope, I want it to be a surprise" she smiled.
"Are you excited?"
"Oh my gosh are you kidding? I have been waiting for this day since I was 16 years old!" Troy frowned and she blushed, realising her slip up.
"16?" He questioned. She put her head down.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid" she muttered to herself whilst he chuckled. She looked up and gave a fake smile.
"We started dating when we were 17 Brie"
"I know"
"So how could you have wanted it since you were 16?"
"I met you when I was 16" she said quietly. Troy smiled adoringly at her.
"So you knew from the moment you met me?"
"Not the exact moment"
"So when?"
"It was my forth week at East High, the cheerleaders were having another go at me and you walked over and stuck up for me" she recalled.
Troy smiled whilst thinking about it.
Flashback
Gabriella was walking to her locker when she was pushed hard. Her shoulder hit the lockers at the side of her and she gasped. She looked up and saw the cheerleaders, here we go again she thought.
"Watch it bitch" Whitney, head cheerleader snapped.
"You bumped into me Whitney" she mumbled standing up.
"What?" She said angrily, shocked someone answered back to her.
"N-nothing" she stammered, attempting to go away. Whitney grabbed her arm and Gabriella let out a cry.
"Whitney?!" Gabriella heard someone call and turned to see Troy Bolton walking over. he was basketball captain and most populat guy in East High, she had met him a couple times but never actually spoken to him properly, maybe just a nod of the head from him or a hello as they shared homeroom together.
"Hey Troy" Whitney said in a squealy voice. She let go of Gabriella's arm and smoothed down her hair.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, this person was just leaving" Gabriella went to leave but felt a warm hand on her wrist, she looked up and brown met blue.
"I saw you grab her arm like that"
"She bumped into me"
"Well, it doesn't mean you have to be nasty, leave her alone from now on ok?"
"Fine" she huffed stomping off.
Troy looked down at Gabriella and smiled. She smiled a weak one back and pulled her wrist of his grasp.
"Thanks" she said quietly and went to walk away.
"Wait up" he called after her. She turned and came face to face with him. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm used to it" she shrugged.
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since I started here it's been like that"
"Like everyday?"
"Yeah, I'm the new geek of the school, comes with the territory"
"Well not anymore, you are now my new best friend, and no one picks on my friends" he put his arm around her shoulders and she giggled.
She locked eyes with him and that's the moment she fell in love with Troy Bolton.
End of Flashback
Troy kissed her and she smiled.
"So you really fell in love with me then?"
"Yeah, you showed me a side to you I had never seen and it was also the day I got my new life, my happy one with new friends"
"Well, you wanna know a secret?" He whispered. She smiled and nodded. "I fell in love with you the day I saw you walk through the doors of East High for the first time"
"Really? We never knew each other then though"
"Love at first sight baby, you looked so beautiful, I could just tell by looking at you that you were beautiful on the inside too" Gabriella's eyes teared up.
"Ok, stop it" she said looking in the mirror and sorting out her eye make up. "I need to leave before I'm late"
"Ok babe" he said laughing. They walked downstairs and out on the porch.
"Are you picking Lilly up from your parents?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah, I'll go get her now"
"Ok, well love you and all that" she said lightheartedly and kissed him.
"Ditto baby" she smiled and got in her car. She drove out the driveway and to her dress fitting.
She put on her Lady Gaga album and sang along whilst driving. She weaved in and out of traffic and after a ten minute journey arrived.
She parked in front of the cream building and climbed out of the car. She locked it up and walked towards the entrance. When she entered the door pinged, signalling someone had entered the shop.
"Gabriella!" Lucie, the girl who had helped Gabriella with the dress exclaimed hugging her.
"Hey Lucie"
"So, one month left, you excited?"
"Yes!" Gabriella exclaimed. "I can't wait to marry him"
"I bet, he is hot" Gabriella nodded and giggled.
"So were is my dress?" Lucie walked into the back and came back out a few minutes later.
"Here we go, all finished, just need to check it still fits"
Gabriella walked into the dressing room, taking the dress and she closed the door. She stripped off all her clothes except her panties and she put on her bra she bought for under the dress. She then stepped into it and pulled it up.
"Lucie will you zip me up?" She walked out and turned her back to Lucie. Lucie zipped it up and tied the part around her neck. When Gabriella turned around she gasped.
"Gabriella you look beautiful" she squealed and Gabriella smiled. She looked at her reflection in the full length mirror and smiled.
The dress went right down to the floor. It was a tight bodice at the top with jewels and sequins all over it, the bottom came out a little, it was noticable but not huge fairytale princess. It was just the right amount. That material was silky and plain. The bodice pushed her boobs up a little to show some cleavage but not loads, she looked just right. It showed most of her upper back, the zip coming just below her shoulder blades and had a thin alter neck strap on it.
"I love it" she said, turning to Lucie and smiling.
"We've recieved your tiara to"
"Really?" Gabriella asked getting excited. Lucie smiled and went behind the counter. She came back with a small box and opened the lid. Gabriella picked it up and placed it on her head.
Her hair obviously wasn't what it would be like on the day, she just wanted to see if it matched her dress. It was silver and had diamonds going all the way across the front. It wasn't a big one, just a small row of diamonds that glistened in the light.
"It's perfect" she whispered.
"Yep, Troy Bolton will faint when he see's you"
"I hope not" Gabriella giggled.
Lucie laughed and unzipped the back. Gabriella went to change whilst Lucie wrapped the tiara back up. Gabriella emerged ten minutes later with the dress in it's dress bag. She walked up to the counter and paid Lucie the rest of the money for the dress and tiara.
"Did you get your invite hun?"
"Yeah, I can't believe I got invited"
"I thought you'd want to see how you masterpeice turned out"
"Hell yeah" the girls giggled and hugged goodbye.
Gabriella got all her things and went to the car. She lay the dress across the back seat and placed the tiara on the passenger seat. She got in and started the engine. It was now 11:45 and she wanted to get home to her baby girl. She hadn't seen her since 9:00am yesterday and she missed her loads.
She arrived home and noticed Troy was in. She sighed, getting the dress past him would be a nightmare. She got out of the car and walked into the house with the tiara and dress. Everything seemed quiet in the house so she quickly walked upstairs and put the dress in one of the closets in one of the spare rooms. She placed the Tiara on one of the shelves in the closet and then left the room.
She walked downstairs and heard Troy in the back garden with Lilly laughing. She stood at the kitchen doorway that led outside and noticed them in the pool.
"Look at you baby" Troy said to Lilly whilst pushing her along in a rubber ring. Lilly squealed and kicked her legs, splashing Troy in the face. Gabriella giggled and and Lilly looked up.
"Mommy!" Lilly squealed causing Troy to turn and smile.
"Hey princess" Gabriella said whilst Troy pushed Lilly to the edge. Gabriella bent down and kissed her forehead. Lilly held her arms up and Gabriella lifted her up.
Troy pulled himself out and wiped his hair from his face. Gabriella tickled Lilly and fussed over her whilst Troy got their towels. He handed Gabriella Lilly's to wrap her in then smiled at her.
"Hey babe, so dress all sorted now?"
"Yep, all done"
"Where is it?"
"Like I would tell you Troy" she laughed looking up at him for a glance then back at their daughter. "Have you had fun with daddy baby?"
"Daddy!" Lilly squealed pointing at him, Gabriella giggled.
"Yeah, that's daddy good girl" she kissed her head and walked inside. "Has she had lunch Troy?"
"Yeah, she had breakfast early as she was up at like 7am so she was hungry sooner"
"Ok," she looked at Lilly who smiled at her. "Shall we get you dressed sweetie?" Lilly wrapped her arms around Gabriella's neck and hugged her.
Gabriella walked upstairs and into the nursery. She took off Lilly's swimming costume and changed her nappy. Once the clean one was on she got some of Lilly's jeans and a baby tank top. She put on her pink sneakers and put a thin cardigan over the top. She brushed her hair and put it into pigtails then stood her up on the changing table.
"Who's beautiful?" She asked as Lilly giggled.
"Illy" she squealed pointing at herself.
"That's right you are baby girl"
"So is mommy though" they both looked at the door and saw Troy standing there, fully dressed now smiling.
"Daddy!" She squealed.
Troy walked over and kissed Gabriella's lips softly before picking Lilly up and spinning her around.
"Not so fast Troy, she'll be sick"
"It's ok isn't it baby?" Lilly squealed as he did it again and Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"Fine, but if she throws up, guess who's cleaning it?" She patted his chest as she walked past them with Lilly's dirty swiming costume. She put it in the laundry hamper in hers an Troy's room then carried it downstairs.
She put the wet washing in the dryer and the dirty ones into the washer. She then carried the clean washing up to the kitchen and placed it on the counter. She decided to take it up after.
She walked in the family room to see Troy and Lilly watching cartoons. She sat next to them and settled into Troy's side. They sat there in silence for ages, just cuddled up together when Gabriella heard Lilly sigh. She looked at her and saw she had fallen asleep. Gabriella nudged Troy to look and he smiled.
He lay her on the sofa in the corner and put cushions round her before sitting back down and hugging Gabriella to his chest.
"When does basketball start up again babe?"
"Ummm, new season starts in a couple months, training in one month"
"Oh,"
"Why?"
"We get married in a month"
"And...?"
"We can't have a honeymoon babe if your in training"
"Of course we can"
"How? You have to be at training your captain Troy"
"I've already told coach I am taking you on a two week honeymoon and he has said it's ok, I'm one of his best players so I can go a couple weeks without training"
"You sure?"
"Of course baby, don't stress" he kissed her softly and she moaned into the kiss.
"I love you, did you know that?" Gabriella asked as he smirked.
"How much?"
"Oh, loads" she giggled as he kissed her nose.
"I love you more"
"I do not think so"
"Oh I do" Gabriella laughed and shook her head.
They both laughed and then Gabriella's cell rang. She picked it up and answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey hey"
"Hey Kels"
"You ok?"
"Yep, got my dress finally today, how are you hun?"
"That is so exciting" she squealed. "And I'm good hun"
"Good, so what you doing?"
"Nothing, just doing some packing for when I come up"
"It's not for another three weeks Kels" Gabriella giggled.
"So, I am bored, all my friends are over there with you and I am alone"
"You have friends in New York"
"Yeah, but not best friends"
"Awww, I miss you so much"
"Me too, so what you doing?"
"Just sat with Troy while Lilly has her nap"
"Tell him I said hey" Gabriella looked at Troy.
"Kels says hey"
"Tell her I say hello back"
"He says hello back" she said into the phone. Kelsi laughed.
"Ok well I better go"
"Ok hun, speak soon"
"Yep, bye"
"Take care" they hung up and Gabriella placed her cell on the coffee table before snuggling back into Troy.
He pulled her close to him and she sighed. After sitting in silence for a long time Gabriella looked up at him and spoke.
"Are you still happy Troy?"
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Are you still happy? Like do you still wanna get married and stuff?"
"Of course I do, why do you ask babe?"
"I just thought, your only 24 and your planning on staying with me for the rest of your life, don't you ever think what it would be like if we hadn't met yet, think what it would have been like to meet later when you've fooled around with other girls and stuff?"
"No I don't" Gabriella gave him a look. "Ok I have, but not in regret"
"What do you mean?"
"I've thought about what it may have been like to fool around with other girls and stuff and I'm glad I never did that"
"Why?"
"Because, we wouldn't have Lilly if we hadn't met yet, yeah we may have had other kids but they wouldn't be Lilly"
"Yeah your right"
"Are you having doubts?" He asked, panic in his voice. He hoped she wasn't.
"God no!" She said quickly. "I can't wait to become Mrs Bolton, I just don't want you hating me in a few years when you realise what you've missed by settling down early"
"I won't hate you babe, I could never hate you. I can't imagine ever being with another woman, and if something happens were I did spend the night with another woman you'd be the one I would be thinking of"
"Awww, baby you are so sweet" Gabriella kissed him softly and then smiled. "I love you"
"I love you too"
They settled down together and both just looked at Lilly. They were so lucky to have her and as long as she was with them, they could make it through anything because they were a family.
