Troy and Gabriella were back home after a vacation in San Diego and a pit stop to see Troy's sister and Niece. Troy dropped Gabriella off at her apartment before he headed home. He had to get up early for work the next day. He had a meeting first thing with Kelsi. He had to meet with his lawyer to prepare for court the next day. Then he had to inform the company of the new additions and the changes he was making. It was going to be a busy day.
Troy was dressed to the nines when he walked into work in the morning. Everybody stopped and stared as he made his entrance. He pressed the top button on the elevator and straightened his tie. Kelsi should be waiting for him in his office. He cleared his throat as the doors opened to his floor.
"Good Morning, Mr. Bolton." The blonde receptionist greeted.
"Good Morning." He replied with a grin.
"Kelsi is waiting in your office, sir."
"Thank you." He opened the door to his office and grinned at his red-headed friend who was looking quite comfortable in his chair. "Hey Kels." Troy greeted as he shut the door behind him.
"Wow, look at you. You've got the California sun kissed glow." She said with a smirk. "Or you're in love."
"Or Both." Troy said with a grin. "Did you get the itinerary I sent over to you?"
"Yep." She said, looking down at her phone. "I'm surprised you're hiring her."
"She's brilliant, Kels. Why wouldn't I hire her?" Troy asked, checking his hair in the mirror. "You got your promotion. I get to see my future wife every single day at work and Danforth can kiss my ass. I'm living the good life."
Kelsi looked up at him confused. "You proposed?"
"Not yet." Troy said with a grin. "But soon, I love her, Kelsi."
"I know you do. You made me order the ring. I'm happy for you Troy. I have a tiny voice in the back of my head saying that she's got a hidden agenda. Remember what I told you when I found her? She wants to get to the top and with your help she's practically there."
"I think she does and I'm okay with that. She loves me and I love her. After we get married, half of this is going to be hers."
"No prenup?"
"No prenup." Troy said firmly. "I believe she won't hurt me. Once you get to know her, I think you'll be friends fast."
"Alright Troy, I'll support you in whatever you do."
Troy grinned. "And that is why you're getting the promotion, not those lazy asses outside of my office. Executive board meeting in an hour, we are announcing the changes that are going to be effective next week. Are you ready?"
"Born ready, Bolton." She said, pushing herself out of the chair. "I'll go get you some coffee while I'm at it."
"You're the best, Kels."
"I know." Kelsi grinned as she walked out of his office.
Troy's meeting went successfully. Some of the board was pissed off because they were being demoted but Troy honestly didn't care. He needed for them to get work done. He didn't need them to dick around and waste his time and money. Troy was happy with the decisions he made.
He was fully exhausted by the time 9:30 rolled around. He was more than ready to go home but he had some much work to catch up on. He also had some legal paperwork to look over. He was on his fifth cup of coffee for the day. He was pretty sure coffee had no effect on him anymore.
The phone on his desk rang. He rubbed his eyes, looking away from the paperwork to pick it up. "Bolton." He answered tiredly.
"Hey, honey." His mother's voice sang from the line. "You don't know what I had to do to get your stupid private desk line. I called your phone and you didn't answer. I called the front desk and there was no answer. I was about to drive over there and kill you myself, Troy Bolton."
Troy couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, Mom. What can I help you with?"
"Let me guess, you're not coming home for a while."
"I have a lot of work to catch up on. I was gone for a week." Troy reminded. "And I'm in the middle of an important legal case. I'll be home as soon as possible. My cell is on silent and nobody is here to answer the front desk phone. I'm sorry mom. I'll turn my ringer on now."
"Thank you, Troy. I'm glad it wasn't an emergency. Your dad and I are getting old. Speaking of, when Gabriella is coming over next?" His mother asked.
"She can come over whenever she wants, I told her that. She's starting up work this week, mom. She's filling out forms, working from home and all that good stuff. But I'll make sure she comes over at least one night this week." Troy said, with a small laugh.
"I really love her Troy. She's great for you."
"I love her too, mom. You'll get grandchildren soon enough."
She laughed this time. "I love you Troy."
"Love you too mom. I'll talk to you later." Troy said hanging up the phone. As soon as he hung up the phone it started ringing again. "Bolton."
"Hello, Mr. Bolton. This is Barry. I'm in the lobby with a woman who was trying to sneak in. She says she knows you." Barry said. "Her name is Gabriella Montez."
"You can escort her up, Barry. Thank you for calling." Bolton said with a small grin. He hung up the phone and went back to his work. He got through two pages before he heard a knock on his office door. "Come in." He called out.
"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Bolton." Barry said walking in through the door.
"You're not interrupting, Barry." He stood with a smile on his face when he saw his girl walk through the door behind security. "Barry, this is my girlfriend, Gabriella Montez."
Barry blushed. "I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time, Ms. Montez. I didn't know."
Gabriella smiled. "You're just doing your job, no hard feelings."
"Gabriella is going to be working here, she starts in a few weeks, so you'll be seeing a lot of her." Troy said, reaching over for Gabi.
Gabi walked toward her boy. Barry watched on happily. "Welcome to the B and A family, Ms. Montez. I'll be down stairs if you need me, Mr. Bolton."
"Thank you, Barry." Troy said, closing the door behind the guard. "What are you doing here, Ms. Montez?" Troy asked, turning to her.
"I was going to surprise you, but I got caught." Gabi said with a giggle. She wrapped her arms around her man. "I missed you and I wanted to be with you, even if it was just hanging out at the office."
"You're more than welcome. I know when you start working, were going to have a lot of late nights." Troy confessed. "We're going to be too tired for sex. I'm too tired to even eat sometimes."
"You look exhausted already." She said, taking a seat on the couch.
Troy sat back at his desk. "I am, I want to go to bed. I still have some work to catch up on."
"Anything I can help with?" She asked, tilting her head.
"You can look over these legal documents I got from my lawyer." He said picking up a stapled packet of paper. "I only have a couple more pages of this and I think I'll call it a night, since you're here."
"Don't worry about me, Baby. I'm fine right where I am. There's no rush." She said, getting up to grab the stapled papers from him.
"Thanks, baby." He said with a tired smile.
She took a seat in his lap and wrapped her arms around him. "Love you." She murmured before kissing him softly on the mouth.
"Love you." Troy reciprocated, rubbing her back gently. "How was your day?"
"Good, kinda boring, long." She said. "Yours?"
"Busy." He said with another tired smile. "I should have napped."
"We can finish this then we can go home." She said, running her fingers through his hair.
"Sounds good."
She shifted on his lap, starting to look at the papers. He scooted his chair closer to his desk so he can grab his own papers to read. He leaned back against his chair, he blinked a couple times to adjust his eyes to the paper. Gabriella put her papers down to look up at him.
"Our six month anniversary is coming up." She said, watching him as he read.
"On the 12th. The first time I kissed you in your house." Troy said with a smirk, recalling the memory.
She smiled. "I was surprised and very turned on. I had never even met you before and I let you touch my boobs."
"Sorry if I came off a little strong." He said, putting his papers down to look at her.
"Where would we be if you didn't?" She asked, stroking his hair back. "You'd have lost all of your clients. Danforth would be rich. I would still be his monkey and there'd be no us."
Troy frowned. "Well then I'm not sorry then. I'm in love with you and I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you."
She smiled at him. She stroked his cheek. "I don't know how I'll ever repay you. You've done so much for me and I feel like all I've done is use you."
Troy's frown deepened. "I never want you to feel like you have to repay me. Everything I do for you is because I love you. I want all of your dreams to come true and I want to be by your side when they do. God forbid, our feelings for each other change, I don't want you to feel obligated to pay me back. I don't want your money, I just want you to be happy."
"I am so grateful for you, Troy Bolton. You're an incredible human being." She pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"As are you, Ms. Montez. I am unbelievably lucky to get to love you." He put the paperwork they were reading on the desk. "Tell me five things you want to do before you're thirty." He looked on at his girl as she cuddled up to him.
"Let me think." She said with a smile. He watched as the thoughts raced through her head. "I want to go to Europe. I know that's kind of Cliché but I've never been out of the US and I really want to travel. I speak four languages and I want to use them."
Troy grinned. "Four? Really?"
She nodded. "English, Spanish, French, Portuguese. I really want to learn Italian and German."
Troy bit his bottom lip. "What if I put you in charge of European Communications? I know some languages and parts of others. I do most of the communications with Asia."
"I want you to come with me though." She said pouting.
"I will, don't worry, baby." He laced his fingers with hers. "Okay, next one."
She looked up again to think. "Marriage."
"Covered." Troy said with a smile. "What else?"
"I want to buy a house." She said looking at him. "And I want to own a franchise."
"What kind of franchise?" Troy asked, tilting his head.
"Not too sure yet. I'm still doing my research." She shared, looking at him. "What about you, Mr. Bolton? You have everything in the world."
"Not everything." He said with a kiss to her forehead. "Before I'm thirty, I want to be married as well. I want to start a foundation to give back to the people of Albuquerque. I want to give grants and scholarships and what not. I, also, want to get a dog or two. I want to have my own space away from my parents again, hopefully living with you… close but not too close."
Gabriella giggled. "You just want to fuck all the time without worrying if your parents overhear."
"Not the only reason." He said with a laugh. "I also want to start a family."
"With me?" She asked, teasingly. "I thought you wanted to wait."
"That's the plan." Troy said with a teasing grin. "I do… but it doesn't have to be before thirty, I'd say around thirty. I'll have time to spend with you but don't want to be too old to play with my kids."
"We won't be." She said. "But you only have two years till thirty. I have a while."
Troy chuckled. "Are you calling me old?"
"Yep." She said, pressing a kiss to his lips. "Okay, where do you want to get married?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
"It's not just my wedding, Bolton." She reminded him. "I want to get married indoors, not a church though. Maybe an aquarium or something cool like that. Oh! You know that there is an aquarium in San Diego where you can sleep over and sleep with the sharks! I've always wanted to do that."
"Maybe next time we go back, we can do that." Troy said stroking her hair.
"Okay." She said with a wide smile.
"Do you want a big reception?"
Gabi shook her head, scrunching up her nose. "A little one is good. We can serve dinner and cocktails. Then a couple hours of dancing then we can leave."
"Right, the honeymoon. Where do you want to do that?"
"Honestly, Troy. Anywhere. I'll be with you and I'll be happy."
One week later, Troy sent out the email to the entire company explaining the changes. Gabriella had a make-shift office in front while her office was being built next to his. Kelsi was getting an office as well. She was head of personnel as well as about a billion other things. He got only two letters of resignation from the bitter men that were formerly on the board.
His court date was set for only four days. He had a lot of preparation and two more meetings with his lawyer. He was confident he was going to win the case. Once the verdict, he would be able to relax. He was going to take a few days off and let Gabriella and Kelsi run things for a couple days.
They were a little unsure of each other but Troy was still sure they would be great friends. Troy and Gabriella were on their way to Troy's house for the night. His girl was dozing off in the seat next to him. It was nearing 11 at night and Troy had gotten up at four. Luckily it was Friday and he didn't have to be up until 9 the next morning.
"Mmm." Gabriella hummed, getting comfortable against Troy.
"Almost there, baby." He murmured softly. He turned the corner to his street and started his way towards his house. When he pulled into his drive way, he parked and cut the engine. He looked at the sleeping woman resting against his shoulder. He kissed her forehead gently before shifting her against his seat.
Troy got out of the car and closed the door behind him. He went to the passenger's side, lifting Gabriella from her seat, making sure he doesn't hit her head against the car. He bumped the door closed with his butt just before Gabriella snuggled against Troy. "I can walk, you know." She said with a sleepy smile.
"This is more fun." Troy murmured, kissing her smile. He struggled to open the front door but he did it. He walked through, closing the door with his butt again. He was breaking a sweat. He climbed the stairs quietly, laying her on his bed for the moment. He shut his bedroom door before stripping off his suit. He pulled a pair of shorts on before peeling off Gabi's heels.
She turned to her tummy, her body over taken by sleep. He peeled her skirt off before he flipped her back over. He got her blouse and her bra off before he dressed her in a shirt. He shifted her to the top of the bed so he could tuck her in. He shut out the lights before crawling into bed himself. It wasn't long before he too found sleep.
When Troy woke up, he had an overwhelming heat across his body. He groaned when he felt lips on his ear. He was completely hard already. A small hand was wandering across his bare stomach to his bare legs. He wondered when she stripped him. Her fingertips brushed lightly across his balls up to the tip of his penis. Her hand gripped him, stroking down slowly then back up.
"Good morning." She whispered against his ear. Her tongue flicked out against his earlobe.
His eyes blinked open when she released him from her grip. He tilted his head to look at her. She looked tired but completely beautiful. "Why are you up so early?" He asked hoarsely, turning his head the other direction to look at the clock.
"My body said wake up, so I did." She said, leaning over to lean against his chest.
"I love you." He grinned, kissing the top of her head.
"Love you." She said kissing his chest. She sighed, getting up. "I'm going to see if your mom will make me French toast."
Troy looked at his girl. "What about me?"
"What about you?" She asked, trying to hide her smirk. She walked to her drawer, pulling on some shorts that were laid on the top. She pulled her hair up before she turned to look at Troy.
He watched her dress in disbelief. "Don't leave me hanging." Troy said, moving the covers to show her what she started.
"Maybe I'll tell her to make some bacon too." She said with a wide grin, walking out of the bedroom.
