Fallen /Chapter 13 – Feelings
Pushing the covers from her body, Gabriella stretched herself before she got up, readjusting her top when she turned her head to look at Troy. Laying on his stomach, she felt heat creeping up her cheeks at his muscular bared back when she saw him move, quickly turning her head before she walked into the bathroom.
"Who am I kidding?" She asked herself."Who wouldn't want to pretend to be Troy Bolton girlfriend?"She mumbled while she turned the water faucet on. Even if she was almost naked last evening during the photo shoot, with only a small thong covering her most private part, she had felt very comfortable with his body close to hers. Sometimes, just by the way he was holding or touching her, she had felt butterflies at the pit of her stomach, craving for more of his touch. Smiling, she was brought back from her reverie with a knock on the door.
"Brie?" She heard Troy."Brie? Are you okay?"
"Yeah! Sorry."She said, quickly grabbing her towel and putting it around her body before she opened the door, stepping out."What's up?"She said, looking at him, noticing that his plaid pj were low on his hips but did her best for not staring at his 'V' cut abdomen.
"Want to go eat out?" He asked her, stepping into the bathroom.
"Sure."
"Okay then. I'm just going to take a quick shower and then we could go and maybe even walk around SoHo." Nodding her head, Gabriella walked toward her luggage to take her clothes out.
"Damn.." She mumbled, looking over her shoulder at the closed door."I could stare at that all day." She whispered before she let out a soft giggle.
Following Gabriella out of the coffee, Troy pushed is phone in his pocket before running a little bit to catch her, while she looked at the small shop on the street. Once she saw that he was next to her, she kept on walking when she felt his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. They kept on walking down the street when she saw a photographer flashing his camera on the other side of the street, afar from them but it seemed as if Troy didn't noticed him.
"Visitor at 2 o'clock." She mumbled to him, turning her head to look at the shop. Quickly looking to the side, he noticed for the first time the paparazzo who was still taking pictures of them before he looked down, letting his camera fall around his neck.
"I guess he got enough for today." He said before his hand traveled down, resting on the small of her back, slightly pushing her inside the Calvin Klein shop.
"Oh well hello!" John said to them when he saw them at the door.
"Hey John." Troy said giving him a handshake before he hugged Gabriella.
"I must say that we went through every pictures... just wow." He said with a smile holding her hand."So what can I do for you two? Let me guess? Jeans?"
"Yep." Gabriella said with a smile.
"I knew it. Come on, follow me." He said, walking pass the cashier and walked into the back of the store."Where did I put them?" He kept repeating while Gabriella kept looking around the hallway full of pictures.
"Oh right!" He exclaimed before he took a turn and entered an office."So here are your three pairs of jeans each and your cards for the next thing you might what to get in the future. If there's a problem like they ask you to pay just tell them to call the head office."
"Okay."Gabriella said, taking her bag and both of the cards when Troy slowly took the bag out of her hand.
"I got it." He said to her, both of them under the eye of John.
"A true gentlemen."He said with a smile.
"He sure is."Gabriella said before she got on the tip of her feet and gave him a peck on his lips. Stepping back down, she pushed her hair behind her ear, her lips showing a smile but internally, she was screaming at herself for her action.
"You two make such a cute couple." She heard John said and Troy answer with a 'thanks' before she looked up at both of them.
"So you'll all set up now."
"Yeah, thanks once again." Troy said while Gabriella and him walked toward the front door. Both of them staying in silence while they reached the corner of the busy streets, Troy pulled Gabriella by the shoulder, when the lights turned red for them.
"Don't feel bad about it."Troy said to her with a smile. Looking up at him, she let out a sigh while her cheek turned a cute shade of pink."It's fine." He repeated, resting his hand on her hip when she felt his lips on her temple.
"Sorry." She mumbled, finally looking up at him.
"Well, I knew you wouldn't resist..."He whispered to her making her grasp, before she hit him with her elbow.
Running down the hallway of their new hotel in flip flop, Gabriella came to a stop in front of a slightly close door. Knocking on the door, it was soon opened by Charles who was smiling at her.
"Did you bring my shoes?"She asked, walking inside the room.
"Well hello to you."He said, closing the door behind him.
"Hi! So where are my shoes?" She said with a giggle before she jumped on his bed.
"Here." He said opening his luggage where she saw her shoes perfectly on top of his clothes.
"Thank you!" She said, catching them after he had throw them to her.
"You are so nervous."He said to her with a smile. Quickly looking up at him, she pushed her hair back.
"Yeah."She mumbled to him ,scrunching her nose a little bit making him laugh.
"So where did you leave your boyfriend?"He asked her, his eyes narrowing at her, wondering if she would correct him.
"He went to the Diesel rehearsal. "She said, placing her shoes on the bed.
"So you're really dating now?"
"What? No!" She said, with wide eyes.
"Well I just called Troy your boyfriend and you didn't correct me so I thought you were really going out."Charles said pulling a new shirt from his luggage.
"No. It's still an act." She said, playing with her boots lace.
"You what something more than an act then." He said, siting down on the bed.
"No." She mumbled, not able to look up at him.
"Come on Gaby. It's just us."
"I kissed him today. Well gave him a small peck on the lips." She blurred out.
"And what did he do or said?"
"That is was okay? We haven't talk about it since it happened."
"Oh." Came his simple reply.
"Don't tell him I told you about it."
"Don't worry. But tell me the truth, do you like him?"
"It's an act and will always be."She said, looking back at him, both of them staying in silence until he spoke.
"Now of you go get ready. We must leave for the rehearsal in 5 minutes." He said, squeezing her knee.
"Marissa told me what happened." Troy heard Sharpay voice. Turning his head to the left, he saw her walking next to him. They were in their break and he had decided to go find some coffee for the gang and she decided to following him.
"And?" He said, crossing his arms over his chest while they waited in line.
"We, as everyone came to a conclusion about those attack." She half whispered to him.
"What do you mean?" He sent to her, being her the only person being able to resist.
"They aren't after Her."
"Gabriella."He sent while he placed the order of 5 coffees.
"Yeah whatever, but they are after you. They just couldn't find the right room back at the agency and now, they thought she was you." She sent making him stop in his tracks.
"Are you saying that they had tracked us?"
"Not us, you. And that is why you need to bring Marissa back as your protector."
"No Shar. They had in someway found out about her being my girlfriend-"
"She not your real girlfriend." She correct him making his mouth close shut.
"No but she's supposed to be so she might as be in danger as I am." He said to her, opening the door of the center where the runway show was held.
"If you want Marissa to be my shadow, Gabriella might as well be stuck with me all time." He said to her making her gasp at the sudden news. Leaving her on the entrance, he walked backstage where he found everyone sitting on the floor by a corner.
"Coffee!" Marissa and Gabriella screamed, both of them stretching their hands.
"Gimme gimme!" Marissa said in a little voice, almost ripping the large cup from Troy's hand.
"Damn woman." He said, sitting down next to Gabriella before he gave her her cup.
"Thanks." She said before she quickly brought it to her mouth."I was needing that." She mumbled before she looked at everyone.
"Where's Sharpay? Wasn't she with you?" She asked, looking at Troy who was drinking his own coffee.
"Yeah but she decided to stay back. There she comes." He said, jerking his head toward the direction she was coming. Sitting down far away from them, she rested against the wall while everyone gave a wondered look at Troy, who just shrugged.
Staying silent, Charles just kept looking at his friends interacting between each other while they waited for them to start rehearsing once again but he eyes kept going back to Troy and Gabriella. Talking to Marissa, she was sitting cross-legged while Troy was resting his elbow on her knee both of them acting like nothing was happening between them. Shaking his head he stood up and went to sit next to Sharpay who once saw that he next to her, she blurred the new choice of Troy sticking with Gabriella from now on. Looking straight in front of him with wide eye, he kept drinking his warm coffee while she kept on rambling about him.
"I'm so tired." Gabriella complained, letting herself fall down on the bed with her face on the pillow."I'm hungry, my feet hurts and I'm sleepy."She whined against the pillow making Troy chuckle. Taking his plaid shirt off, he sat down on his side of the bed, looking out at the lighted city far away, before he looked at her over his shoulder.
"Would you like to stay with me for the next two days? Well until I do all the shows?" He asked her, putting his phone and watch on the nightstand making her rise her head.
"Could I watch?"
"Yeah." He turn to look at her.
"Okay. Yeah, I would like to stay." She said with a smile.
"Cool." He mumbled before standing up and walking into the bathroom.
"Cool." She whispered with a small smile on her lips. Pulling her plaid pants and tank white v-neck shirt, Gabriella quickly undid her pants and pulled her pj on when Troy opened the door making her sit back down.
"You okay?" He asked, rising an eyebrow looking at her while he walked to the bed turning the TV on.
"Yeah." She replied, putting her green-ish pants on top of her luggage before she walked into the bathroom pushing it so she could change her top but didn't noticed that it was left slightly open, just enough for Troy who looked back at her pants that felt down, saw her pull her shirt off. Standing in front of the mirror in her nude bra, she stood there as if thinking about something before she put the a white on, quickly looking back at the TV as if he didn't see nothing. He was aware now that she had a perfect toned body not like other girls he had seen in photoshoot he had been on or backstage at the runway shows. Everything that she wore, hugged her body perfectly and he had loved those pants she had wore that day, putting her behind in evidence to everyone to see and that got him captivated during the rehearsal while she kept walking in front of him with the others girls while the guys were sitting down, waiting for their turn. Walking back from the bathroom, makeup free, she still looked stunning.
"What are you watching?" She said, getting under the covers.
"The News. There's nothing good." He said, putting the remote control on the bed.
"It New York Fashion Week at our door steps, we had noticed a few of the models or famous actors running errands around town." They both heard the host say with a big smile before it was replace by pictures of random models."From buying clothes, getting to rehearsal or fitting to finally enjoying the city that never sleep by cuddling like the new it couple and new face for the upcoming new ads of Calvin Klein."She said which made Gabriella groan.
"We're on TV now." She said, looking at the picture they were showing both of them smiling while Troy gave her a kiss on her temple.
"Talking about them, we have learn from our sources that Troy and Gabriella, both from the Elite Modelling Agency have already been photographed for the ads and that they are spectacular and will have people talking about those ads that have a big historical of being racy. I can't wait to see those one. From New York City, I'm Leah Smith with your entertainment news."
"Wow." Troy said looking at the TV that was now showing a commercial about some restaurant and not their faces. Grabbing the remote, she turn the TV off before putting it on the nightstand.
"Hey! I was watching that." He said to her.
"I want to sleep so my hunger and aching feet can go away."She said closing her eyes making him laugh.
"Don't laugh at me!" She said, quickly opening her eyes making him stop.
"Fine. Let's go to sleep." He mumbled, pulling his shirt off before lying next to her.
"Night." She mumbled to him.
"Night Brie." He said, rubbing his eyes before he closed them, until he was sure she was sleeping so he could take his meal. Not being scared of leaving her alone in the room after Chad and Marissa had put a spell on it, he stepped out in the small balcony they had with the room. Taking in a big breath, he let his head fall on his forearms that were resting on the balcony, his fangs out, just being his normal form.
"I'm sorry."He whispered."I'm sorry for what I did and what I'm doing." He whispered, looking up at the sky, a shinning moon lighting the dark night. It reality, he has been in love once even if he had been living for centuries in different forms but his true heart always belonged to one person, his true love but he had been longing to hold someone, to hug or kiss. And when Gabriella had kiss him, even if it was only a peck that couldn't be consider like a kiss had woke something up in him that he had lost for quite a time now. Trustfully, he didn't want nor need the protection of Marissa but only wanted Gabriella close to him and if that gave him more protection, he was happy with it. Nibbling at his bottom lip, he heard the door slide open making him to look over his shoulder, seeing a half-asleep Gabriella stumbling out of the room.
"What are you doing?" She asked, resting her hand on the balcony, rubbing her eye while he looked at her with a sly smile.
"Couldn't sleep." He mumbled, turning his head to the front."You?"
"Bad dream." She said, looking up the sky."Wow, this is so beautiful." She whispered, smiling up toward the sky.
"Bad dream?"
"I felt down the stage and broke an arm." She said without any expression, making him chuckle.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." He said, nudging her shoulder with his making her smile.
"I hope so." She said, resting her head on his shoulder."I don't want to make a foul of myself."
"You won't. Now come, let's go sleep." He said pushing he toward the room holding her shoulder.
