It was nearing the end of April. Troy and Gabriella are getting much and much closer. They always talk about lots of things and enjoys each habits. Like, watching and forming constellations at night, going to the charity and Troy gets closer with Gabriella's friends. He still didn't know that Chad is getting married and had a child. They still like each other but, it was really complicated for them to admit it because of the limits. It was hard for them, now that Gabriella's father was getting suspicious about the both of them. He always caught them playing with each other, laughing at each other's jokes and pranks. For the party night, the part where his daughter and Troy kissed on the swing, he just thought that he should forgive them, maybe making a mistake and he thought they would never do that again. The two of them, did even talk about that kiss, not even a word.

It was just seven in the morning and Gabriella felt it will be good to be an early riser. Her clock went off and she set her eyes open and smile. She felt that day will be so good. She removed her thick blanket and sat into her bed, sliding her slippers in her feet and running to the coat rack to grab her towel. Layla was late in waking her up. Layla was just on her way to the bedroom, bringing the breakfast made for the beautiful princess. Gabriella entered the bathroom and shut the door closed.

As Gabriella closed the door, Layla just opened the door of her mistress's room and flashed a wide smile on her face. She had noticed the happiness and blooming characteristic of Gabriella in the past days. Her smile faded away as she saw the messed bed that Gabriella had slept in for a few hours with no woman lying down. She heard water rushing down from the bathroom and she smiled again. She slowly closed the door and walked into the desk to place the tray above it and fix the bed. She opened the curtains up and sunlight rushed inside the dark room. The previous dark room was now as bright as it can be. Layla started changing the covers of the bed and placing the old blankets and sheets on the laundry basket and she put another blanket and bed cover.

Layla finished putting the covers on and Gabriella opened the bathroom door. She stepped back in surprise to see that her room was now clean in just thirty minutes while she was taking her bath. "Good morning, Miss Montez." Layla greeted, making her early greeting. Gabriella asked every maid to greet her with a nice bow with some combination of creative greeting of arts. Gabriella giggled as she saw the creative greeting her maids made for her. Layla loved her giggle. "Oh, thank you, Layla." Gabriella said, walking into her dresser and began to brush her curls perfectly. The curls started to stretch and when the brush reach the end of the hair strand, the hair springs back into it's curly shape. Layla waked to Gabriella and said, "Let me do that for you, Miss Montez." Layla reached the brush and stroked it in her mistress's hair and brush it perfectly. Gabriella waited until it was brushed perfectly.

Soon, Layla placed the brush on the side of the desk and looked her mistress. "I'm happy that you are happy for what you are now..." Layla said, shrugged at Gabriella's shoulders and smile, faithfully. Gabriella touch with her one hand, Layla's hand and smiled back. She's happy. She just got her happiness back and one more thing: Her freedom. "Thanks, Layla." Gabriella said and looked back at her closest girl friend and hugged her. "As long as you're happy with it." Layla said, and hugged back.

Soon, she pulled away trying to warn her. "But, you know your limits. This isn't the right thing-" Layla said, but cut off by Gabriella's annoyed face, rolling her eyes to the other side and scoffing. "I always do the right thing... Maybe it's time for me to do something crazy." Gabriella said and looked at the mirror again. She can see the things that happen in her whole life. The thing she was with her mom, the time she grieved for her mother that her father didn't care and just continued working, and meeting up Troy. It was the best thing that had happened in her life. Though they begin their relationship in a bad start, it was still the best part of her life and still, it was going on and on. She didn't wanted to finish what had happened between her and Troy. "But, Gabriella..." Layla protested and stopped waiting for a sign that Gabriella would want her to continue. Gabriella waited for another and Layla continued, "You know your father. He can get him fired or kill." It was just one person they are both talking about.

Troy Bolton, the handsome, good and a little sarcastic body guard of Gabriella.

Killed? Is she kidding me? Dad won't kill him... he's not that kind of person. Those thoughts ran into her mind, passing every single cell in her sophisticated brain. Troy can't be kill. I mean, he's a mortal but he shouldn't be dead just because of the relationship she wanted. Gabriella still wanted this. She's been longing for this thing called LOVE. She wanted to be loved again like she was love by her mom. She just had time with her mother for almost fourteen years Gabriella has been leaving in his mortal world. She wanted him to love her and she knew he also wanted her. She won't give up because she believed her father can't do anything like that. "I don't know... he's so much hard to resist because of him being so much-" Gabriella said, but was cut off by Layla.

"Attractive?" Layla cuts off and Gabriella slowly nodded. Layla stroked her hands in Gabriella's dark curls and smiled. "If you love him and he loved you back, you two can get through this. Just believe." Layla added and hugged again her mistress from her back. Gabriella smiled into the mirror after seeing Layla smile for her."Thanks for the advices, Layla... I really need those." Gabriella thanked her. Those advices are important to her and also to Troy. She don't just like him but it was awkward to feel. Real and completely different from the love she felt from her mom. The love she felt from her mom was just care and because she was the daughter. But this love she felt towards her body guard was real different. It was perfect. It completed her. It was the love she never felt before, but it does have some similarities. She felt happy, enjoying her life, amaze, perfect and complete when he was around her.

She was still staring at the mirror and Layla was picking up the best clothes for her. "You should wear fresh clothes... it's hot outside." Layla said, looking at the clothes. Gabriella was startled and looked back at Layla. "I'll just get my clothes done myself. You can go out now and do your responsibilities... Thank you, Layla for everything." Gabriella said, changing the subject and smiling at Layla. Layla was confused. Layla just asked Gabriella if she wanted her to choose the clothes for Gabriella and Gabriella merely nodded her head. She must be out of her mind. "But, you said-" Layla said, stuttering and was cut off by her beloved mistress.

"Go on, Layla. I want to choose my clothes." Gabriella interrupted and Layla dropped the clothes, scattered in the bed. Gabriella took another glance on the mirror and heard the door opened, realizing she was now alone. Gabriella got up from her seat and walked to her closet. She found skirts, t-shirts and mostly dresses. She examined every dresses hanged in every hanger on the rack and looked for her favorite floral summer dress. It don't have a sleeve but it had a thick strap and flower designs. It was thigh cut and it was perfectly fit for Gabriella's perfect curve. There... she found it, finally. She loved that dress. She began to strip off her towel around her, leaving her in her pink and black lacy underwear. It was the sexiest underwear she ever had. She put the dress on but can't reach the zipper from behind. She kept on trying and was bothered by a silent knock. She suddenly stopped, waiting for a word.

"Miss Montez?" She knew that voice. She'd been with him for almost a month now. Troy Bolton. She walked to the door to open up, completely forgetting about the unzipped dress of her. The clasp of her bra can be seen unto the unzipped back of her dress. She slung the door open, no maids are walking down the corridor. She saw Troy standing in front of her, hands in his pocket. He's nervous again. "Um, yes?" Gabriella asked and Troy can't say a word because of what she had just seen. The strap of her dress, slid down her shoulders unnoticed. He can see a little of her breast and Gabriella was really obvious for being so careless, unless just really let it down. Troy looked around for any maids coming up but no sign. He leaned towards Gabriella's ear and whispered, "You're underwear can be seen." he whispered and Gabriella quickly looked at her dress and pulled up the dress into her shoulders.

She then heard him chuckled and she gasped about what happened and about his reaction. She hit him with a slap on his arms and he reacted, "Ow... I'm just being concerned. You are being careless." Troy said, chuckling. He was half joking and half serious. Gabriella smiled at him and scoffed as he said, the word careless. "Me? Careless?" Gabriella asked, pointing herself and Troy nodded at every question she let out. Gabriella scoffed at his nod. "I'm not careless." Gabriella defended herself, smiling at him.

"Yeah, sure." Troy said, chuckling, trying to control his laugh. "But, is that sliding of the strap is a bit showing off to me?" Troy asked, smiling, fully joking.

Gabriella gasped at his attitude and and hit him with another slap in his arm and they both burst into chuckles and giggles. "You are a perv, Troy." Gabriella commented, now controlling her laugh.

"No, I'm not..." Troy defended.

"Yes, you are..." Gabriella fought back. She shook her head in disbelief. "Well, I'll be back inside if you have nothing to say anymore." Gabriella said and turned around.

"Wait..." Troy quickly said, avoiding her from leaving. Gabriella faced him with a questioning looked and smiled. "You're father wanted to see you to discuss about something." He added, his voice shaky and crackly, making him obvious he's nervous. Gabriella giggled at his voice, "You aren't nervous, are you?" she asked, smiling at him.

"I guess?" Troy said, not so sure.

"Never mind... I'll be out in a few minutes." Gabriella said and went straight back into her room. She slowly closed the door shut and leaned her back against it and felt her embarrassment about everything he noticed about her. She was completely embarrassed now that he think that she was showing off her though she wasn't but one part of her desire is showing off him. She don't want any of what but... she liked it.

A few minutes later...

She flung her door open to meet his bluest orbs. He has his hands on his pockets again and she smiled at him. He saw her wearing for the first time her floral dress and she looked... stunning. Gabriella smiled at him and slowly closed the room doors and stood stopped beside Troy. "Do I looked horrible?" Gabriella asked, looking down at her clothes and smoothing it and looking back at Troy. Troy wasn't able answer quickly and just shook his head. Gabriella can say he was nervous. She sighed in relief and rolled her eyes at him, "Don't be nervous. Why are you nervous all the time?" Gabriella asked.

"I don't know." Troy simply said. Gabriella walked down the corridor pass her bedroom and Troy followed her. She walked towards and towards her father's office with every maid, greeting her the way she ask them. Troy just shook his head and smiled as he see the nice and creative greetings from Gabriella. Gabriella was a great lady. Troy doubt why no man had ever liked her since then. He like her... or more.

Gabriella flung the door and Troy stood beside the other guards. He was waiting for her.

Gabriella saw her father sitting in his chair in front of his huge desk. Gabriella slowly walked towards the desk and smiled happily at her father. "Busy? Did I disturbed you in the wrong time?" Gabriella asked as Greg Montez threw her attention to his daughter. He shook his head and smiled at her. "No, not really..." Greg started, wringing his hands together and placing his chin over his closed arms. Gabriella sat in the chair beside the desk. "Actually.. I have an offer for you." Greg added. This made Gabriella excited because of the first time for her father to offer her things and on the other hand, nervous because it can be a bad thing.

"I'm sending you onto a vacation." Greg Montez said and it froze Gabriella into her seat.


Here it is... Where do you think he'll send her? Will Gabriella accept it? I hope yes. Troy and Gabriella are getting better and better. Here's a sneak peek:

"Get my car into the bar we used to go every night."

"Okay..."

"And oh... Pack your things. We're onto a vacation."

"What should I pack?"

"I don't know... common things and necessities."

"Okay..."

"We'll be leaving in an hour."

Now, is this chapter good? I hope yes! Review me please. The ending is getting closer and closer. Much Love.
