Chapter 11
After forty five minutes of getting ready, Gabriella heard the doorbell ring. She took one last glance in the mirror to make sure she looked good and went to answer quickly. She grabbed her bolero and silver purse just before she opened the door.
"Wow.....you look.....just....wow!" Troy was taken aback by her beauty. Her hair was down with babyliss curls and a silver flower on the side. Her makeup was beautifuly done, very natural colours. To sum it all up, she looked flawless.
"You dont look half as bad yourself," He gave her his gorgeous lop-sided grin and she giggled.
"Shall we?" He offered out his hand.
"Sure," She gladly offered out her hand as they walked into the elavator with their arms linked.
At the restaurant.
The restaurant was amazing. Actauly amazing would be an understatement. Its was completely breath-taking. The walls were black matching the chairs and bar at the back. The tables were set with silver table clothes with gorgeous cutlery and stunning plates. The atmosphere was very romantic and Gabriella couldnt ask for more. Not to mention there was a gorgeous pier and the restaurant was overlooking the sea. The only downside was that it was an hour and fifteen minutes away from home.
She had never been out on a first date to such a place usualy she was taken out to McDonalds or KFC during her lunch break but this was different. Very different.
As they reached the tabled Troy took off the peice of paper that said 'Bolton' and pulled out Gabriella's chair indicating her to sit.
"Your more of a gentelman than you look," He looked at her faking hurt, "I mean when your on the court, i mean who would think that a basketball player had the romantic trate in him." She quickly corrected herself.
"Well you know what they say," He sat down, "You learn somethink new everyday;" She nodded in agreement and gave him a half smile.
Troy called for the waiter and ordered their food. He noticed Gabriella didnt eat alot. Which made him feel fat for ordering a much larger meal than her.
"So, do you usualy take girls on a first dates like these?" She asked taking a bite from her food.
Troy thought for a moment, he never did actualy, but he felt something different for Gabriella so he wanted to reassure himself that he didnt and wont give her the wrong impression about him.
"Well not really," He said right before taking a sip of his drink.
"So what am I? more special than other girls?" She said as a smile formed on her face.
"Well, special? Hmm...different definitly! Special?" He acted as if in doubt tho he knew what the answer would be.
She gasped. "And I thought you were special." She turned her head aside as if not wanted to look into his sparkling eyes.
"I was kidding Gabriella," He put his hand on hers as she turned to look at him, "Your way more special than all those other girls," She gave him a quiet giggle.
"thanks,"
Once they had finished desert Troy had offered to go for a walk down the pier. She looked at his pleading face and it was an offer she couldnt refuse.
They walked together, occasionaly sneaking a glance at eachother. His arm was wrapped around her and it didnt seem to bother her. After a few minutes of talking Troy bought up a subject she was secretly hoping he wasnt.
"So what school did you go to?" He asked her.
"Well I went to West High.....ugh...my dad was the basketball coach," He noticed her sudden change in emotion.
"Wait, i thought coach Huton didnt have any kids or a wife," He gave her a questioning look.
"Yeh thats because im not his child. My dad died after my first year of college thats why i came back. I didnt finish my degree due my mother being ill, I had to get a job. I figured if it was something i loved, like basketball, it can help me cure the pain of loosing my father." He saw the tears welling up in her eyes. He put his arms tighter around her. "I decided East high was more apropriate for me to go to, anywhere I go in west high I see his face." The tears were flowing freely from her eyes.
"Its okay you can stop now," She looked up at him.
"No its okay, the pain will always be there it wont get any worse if I talk about it," She continued, "Shortly after that my mother was diagnosed with cancer and died a month and half after the news was known," She was still crying, "I hold and cherish all the mermories I had with them, they were special and amazing people."
"Well if they were anythink like you, Im sure they were," He spoke softly.
They had already reached the end of the pier and no one was in sight. She looked up at him and smiled. He slowly leaned down and she matched his actions.
After seconds that felt like hours, their lips touched. It felt like their first kiss all over again but with much more passion. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he tighted his grip around her. Her hands slowly entangled themselves in his hair.
After a minute, both needing urgently to breath, they pulled apart, never tearing their eyes from eachother.
"Your beautiful Gabriella," He said softly, slowly wiping her tears from before, with his thumbs.
She gave him a weak smile before leaning in for a soft quick kiss. "Your not so bad yourself."
He chuckled, "Why thank you," He replied.
After some more talking it began to get a little cold and Gabriella wearing her thin dress got affected more by it, causing her to shiver.
"Here you can take my jacket," Troy said being the gentelman he was trying to be, "Im not so cold," She looked at him hesitantly.
"Are you sure?" She said while he put the jacket around her.
"Yes, apsolutely."
The walked back to car hand in hand and he dropped her off outside her house.
"Ill see you monday at work," He walked her to her apartment.
"Yeah ill see you then," She leaned up to give him a kiss.
"What was that for?"
"My way of thanking you and telling you I had a great time tonight," She smiled at him.
"Oh, well heres my way of saying your welcome," He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips and she gladly returned it to him.
"Good-night Troy,"
"Good-night Gabriella,"
It was a perfect way to end their date. The both slept with a smile planted on their faces that night.
Wooh!! that was hard to write!!
I hope it was worth it :]
