An: Hey guys so I know I should have updated like days ago but my midyear break was over and I started school again and let's just say the first week was well not good to put it lightly anyways I have been dying to write this chapter you'll know why later….onward!
Recap:
I laughed and muttered "Men" as I followed him. You know what they say sometimes a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I couldn't have agreed more.
Gabriella's pov
I headed over to the stove as I gestured for Troy sit down. "Hope you like eggs" I called over my shoulder as I pulled out a pan.
"Sounds good" I heard him say as I heard what resembled footsteps on the stairs. I moved to the fridge as I took out the butter and eggs.
I chuckled as I muttered "3, 2, 1". Suddenly I heard Troy laugh as I heard a thud. "Buddy" I scolded as I put the stuff on the counter and went to pull Buddy off of Troy.
Troy was lying flat on his back Buddy was on top of him licking him like crazy. As soon as he saw me he got off of Troy and trotted to my side. His tongue was hanging out as he seemed to smile lazily at me.
I was just about to open mouth to give him a good lecture but he looked at me with those big brown eyes of his. I sighed as I knew I would never yell at him now. His puppy face was a sore point. I patted his head and giggled as Troy attempted to wipe the drool off his face.
"Where is the-"I interrupted "down the hall first door on the right" I said smiling.
He gave me an informal bow and smiled then turned around walked down the hall.
I sighed in contentment as I patted Buddy absentmindedly. I went over to the stove and started making breakfast. A minute later I felt Troy behind me. I heard him move around the kitchen as he shuffled the drawers looking for something.
He came up behind me with a fork and was just about to take a bite out of the eggs until I slapped his hands away.
"Hey" He said rubbing his hand as he pouted. "What did you do that for?" He asked pretending to be mad at me. "You've got to wait" I said like a mother.
"But I don't wanna wait" He said like a 5 year old as he pouted and sulked. "Too bad" I said as I bit my lip to keep from giggling.
Buddy came up to me and barked. I smiled at him as I took a fork and gave Buddy a piece. He ate it and then walked off in the other direction.
"Hey no fair" He said moving to sit on the kitchen counter. "Why does he get to taste the eggs?" He said resting his head in his hands.
"Because he's my favorite guy" I said turning off the stove and moving to find some plates.
"Hmpfh" I heard him mutter as he said something under his breath. I heard the chair move and Troy got up and reached out and grabbed the two plates I was struggling to reach. "Thanks" I said as I placed them on the table.
"You're welcome" He said kind of annoyed. "Aww Troy…..are you jealous of Buddy?" I said handing him his plate. "Maybe" He said taking a bite out of the eggs and chewing slowly.
" Aww don't worry cuz you're my favorite guy too" I said as I too started eating.
"Really?" He asked his eyes shinning after a mouthful.
"No" I said as I laughed at his expression. "Kidding" I said after he looked at me accusingly.
"So I'm your favorite human guy?" He said having taken the last bite out of his breakfast.
" Yup" I said happily as I picked up his plate. "Stop right there" I heard him say over my shoulder.
"Something the matter Troy?" I asked turning around to face him.
"Show me your plate" He said raising his eye brow.
"Oh um ok" I said as I showed him my plate.
"Brie" He said as he sighed "You hardly ate any of your food" He said as he ran his hands through his hair.
" Troy" I said as I sighed "I'm not a breakfast person you know that" I said as I sat down under his stern gaze.
He picked up my fork with food and brought it to my mouth. I clamped my mouth shut. "nuh uh" I said through tight lips as I shook my head. I crossed my arms over my chest as I watched him.
"Brie please?" He said as he tried again.
I stuck my tongue out at him like a 5 year old. "Please?" He said giving me a really cute puppy face. His lips were pouting and his hair fell over his right eye while his blue eyes shone.
I sighed as I uncrossed my arms and opened my mouth. He placed the food in my mouth gently and watched me chew slowly. I noticed him staring at me intently.
"What?"
"Nothing I just like watching you eat"
"Ok" I said as I shrugged swallowing the last of my food. I got up picked up my plate and went over to the sink to start washing the dishes.
Troy came up behind me. "I'm doing the dishes gabs you go sit" He said as he nudged me towards the direction of the chair. I sighed there really was no point in arguing with him.
"Thanks" I said as I sat down.
"No problem" He called over his shoulder as he washed the dishes. He wiped his hands on the towel and went over to me.
"Gabi?" He asked hesitantly.
"Yeah?" I asked lifting my head from the counter.
"Would you um close your eyes for a sec?" He said.
"Um ok?" I said as more of a question as I closed my eyes.
I heard some shuffling and then I heard a zipper open and then close. Ok what is going on?
"You can open your eyes now" I heard him say my eyes opened.
"Gabi would you um go out with me?" He said shyly as he gave me a red rose.
I stared at the rose as I small smile formed on my lips. "Of course I will" I said happily as I threw my arms around him.
He spun me around and I giggled and screamed until he put me down. "The rose is beautiful" I whispered in his ear as he smiled fully at me.
I managed to get a look at the clock behind Troy and noticed that it was 12pm. Man time flies by when its good.
"I'm so glad you agreed" He said as he blew his hair away from his eyes. "I'll pick you up at um" He checked his watch. "6 alright?" He asked looking up to meet my eyes. "6 is perfect" I said dreamily. He leaned in and kissed my cheek gently as he made one of those old century bows. I curtsied and giggled as I realized how ridiculous we must look.
"Until 6 then" He said walking towards the door his eyes never leaving mine. I nodded as I smiled at him. I watched him walk out as I gently closed the door and sighed as I leaned against the door.
"wow" I heard Taylor saw as she walked towards me with a bowl of cereal.
"Yeah I know" I said as I smiled at her.
"So we've got to get you a new outfit" She said as she put her empty bowl down.
"Oh man Tay do we have to?" I said as I rubbed my temples.
"Yup" She said simply.
"Alright alright do have to look my best for Troy" I said reasoning with my complaining mind.
"Um Ella?"Taylor said hesitantly fiddling with her fingers.
"Just be careful around Troy ok?" She said looking up to meet my eyes.
"What do you mean?" I asked my smile turning to a frown.
"Just be careful he's a player don't forget that" She said as she walked towards me slowly.
"I know that" I said as I sighed. "But I really don't think he would hurt me" I said trying to convince Taylor as much as myself. Or maybe I was just trying to convince myself. Who knows?
But to be honest there was is still a really small part of me that's afraid what might happen when he turns back to his old self. If he turns back to his old self.
I headed up to my room with Shadow following close behind me as I picked up a pair of skinny jeans and a cute pink top. I got dressed and brushed my hair and teeth then headed downstairs.
Taylor emerged two minutes later dressed in almost the exact same thing except she was wearing ballet shoes and I was wearing sneakers. And her shirt was brown while mine was pink. I grabbed a pen and paper and left my mum a note.
We drove to the mall. The whole ride was silent but it wasn't awkward or anything. Once we got to the mall we immediately started browsing for a dress. "Oh how about this one?" Taylor asked about an hour later. I looked at the dress.
It was very pretty that's for sure but I wanted something that was a little less flashy. I wanted something simple but gorgeous. "It's really pretty Tay but just not my kind of dress" I said apologetically.
Taylor sighed as she walked away in the other direction. I started looking randomly at the dresses nothing caught my eye in particular. I checked my watch and it said 3 pm. Shoot I was going to be late. "Tay what are you-" I trailed off as my eyes caught something.
I reached out and touched the smooth fabric. I pulled out the dress and gasped in its simplicity and beauty. It was a cream colored dark beige dress. It looked almost gold. "Ella there you are" I heard Taylor say.
"Oh my goodness" She said trailing the dress with her fingers. "It's beautiful" She whispered.
"Go try it on" She said pushing me in the direction of the dressing room.
I took off my clothes and slipped on the dress. It was perfect it hugged all my curves and had a low cut v-neck. It was right below my knees a bit.
I stepped out and Taylor's eyes went huge. "That bad huh?" I said self consciously as I tugged at the bottom of the dress.
"It's amazing" Taylor said as I twirled around to give her a good view. "Troy is gonna love it" She said winking at me.
I smiled as I changed and went to pay for my dress. We grabbed two sandwiches as we headed for the car knowing that if we stayed longer I'd definitely be late. When we got home I had about an hour to get ready. I hope into the shower for about 20 minutes.
When I came out Taylor had my dress laid out for me. She also had a matching pair of sandals gold sandals. I smiled as I put on my dress. I sprayed on some perfume and then Taylor came in.
"We have 20 minutes to make your hair stunning" She said as she walked in with a brush and a couple of other things I didn't recognize. After twenty minutes my straight slightly wavy hair was brushed. It had on a little amount of cream and my curls were arranged. All in all I did look pretty good.
"Perfection" Taylor said standing back to admire her work.
"Thanks Tay you're the best" I said hugging her.
"Anytime gabs" She said as she pulled away from me.
I heard the doorbell ring. My eyes widened in fear as I started fidgeting. "Don't worry you look great" Taylor said taking my hand and leading me down the stairs.
"Hello Troy" I heard my mother say as she talked to him. As soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs my chocolate brown eyes searched for his piercing blue eyes. Our eyes met and in that moment it was like everybody disappeared. Like no one else mattered. Troy walked over to me and took my hand and gently kissed it.
I felt goose bumps all over my arm and I smiled softly at him as his eyes met mine once more.
"You look wonderful" He said breathlessly.
"Thanks you look great too" I said blushing as I looked at my feet.
I heard Buddy come down the stairs and he barked as he saw Troy. I noticed Buddy had on a weird expression almost stern.
"Don't worry Buddy I'll take good care of her" Troy said seriously as if taking to my dad. Buddy seemed to nod in satisfaction as he walked off. I rolled my eyes at my over protective father like dog.
"Don't keep her out too late Troy" My mother said as she opened the door and smiled at us.
"Don't worry I won't" He said as he took my hand and gently lead me out. When we got to his care he opened the door for me and waited till I was seated. He closed my door and went inside and got in.
He rummaged around for something. "What are you looking for Troy?" I said laughing as I noticed how hot he looked when he was focused.
"Aha got it" He said as he took out a blindfold.
"A blindfold?"I asked confused. "Yeah" He said shrugging. " I want you to put it on" He said as he moved to place it over my eyes. "But I hate blindfolds" I said pouting as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I'm sorry sweetie but where we are going is a surprise" I could feel my heart leap in my chest when he called me sweetie.
I leaned back against the seat and tried to adjust my eyes to the sudden darkness. A while late we arrived at our destination. I could hear the door open and Troy took my hand helped me descend.
He led me to a spot where it was really quiet and the wind ruffled my hair. I sighed as I breathed in the fresh air.
He stood behind me and in one swift motion the blindfold was off.
I gasped at the beauty before me. We were at the park but there was absolutely no one there. In the middle of the park there was a blanket with a picnic basket.
"Ah Mr. Bolton Ms. Montez welcome" A waiter said appearing out of nowhere.
"Thank you jives" Troy said as the guy led us to the picnic basket. I sat down carefully so I don't ruin my dress.
Troy smiled at me as he opened the picnic basket. He took out two delicious looking hamburger sandwiches. "How did you know I like hamburgers?" I asked intrigued.
"Well I figured you had an appetite unlike all those other girls" He said as he handed me my sandwich. I was surprised how much Troy knew me. Sure I wasn't eating much lately but that doesn't mean that I was one of those girls who starve themselves just to get the perfect body.
Troy got out a sandwich for himself then he put some fries in the middle. "What would you like to drink?" The waiter from earlier asked us kindly.
"I'll have a soda" I said swallowing my food as I smiled at the waiter.
"Make that two please" Troy said grinning at me.
"Very well" Jives said walking off.
After we finished eating. Troy looked at me with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "What?" I asked giggling at how nervous he made me.
"I'm going to make you so fat today" He said rummaging inside the picnic basket for something.
"Oh Troy I couldn't possibly eat another-" I stopped as Troy took it out. A little piece of heaven. There in his hands lay a plate with the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake I've ever seen. It was smothered in chocolate and it looked fresh. (Excuse my obsession with chocolate I'm just really craving chocolate cake now lol :D anyways moving on)
"You remembered" I said surprised that he remembered just how much I love chocolate cake. He handed me the plate and took a little piece and put it in my mouth savoring the taste. Troy got out a cake for himself and started eating as well.
I was eating my last piece when I heard Troy chuckle. "Am I really that funny?" I asked grinning at him.
"Yup hilarious" He said smiling at me. "You have something right there" He said pointing to his mouth to show me. I tried to wipe it off with a Kleenex but it was still there I could feel it.
"Hang on" He said still chuckling as he put his plate down. "I'll get it" He said as he leaned in and kissed me. I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the kiss. The kiss deepened as my mind turned into goo and my heart was beating so fast I could almost hear it in my ears.
"There" He said raggedly pulling back. "wow" I said opening my eyes. I struggled to find a better way to say how that kiss felt but I couldn't find anything. "That was so um wow" I stuttered feeling nervous and bright red.
"Your quite articulate aren't you?" He said chuckling as his breathing returned to normal.
I just smiled as Troy got up and dusted his pants. "Would you like to dance?" He asked suddenly nervous.
" I um can't dance" I said nervously as I looked at my hands. "I'll show you how" He said taking my hands and making me stand up. ( Right now you might wanna stop reading and go pick out a song any love song you love and play it so when your reading this part you can imagine Troy and Gabriella dancing)
He put his hand on my lower back and pulled me close. He lifted my hands up and placed them around his neck as he started moving with me slowly.
"See you're dancing" He said his eyes twinkling under the soft light.
" I am" I said softly. He twirled me out and I giggled as I spun back in effortlessly.
"What do you mean you can't dance? You're a natural" He said as he held me tight.
"Thanks" I said giggling as I blushed. "Don't mention it" He whispered in my ear.
We slowly danced to the music and I kept sneaking glances at Troy wondering what he was thinking. Did he feel ridiculously and utterly happy? Was his heart racing a million miles a minute?
Troy noticed me looking at him so he looked at me and gave me his million dollar smile. I sighed as I leaned my head against his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist as we continued swaying.
I could hear Troy's steady heartbeat and I sighed in contentment. For the first time in what seemed like forever I didn't worry about tomorrow or the day after it or even about an from now. For the first time all I could think was I never want this moment to end. I wanted to remember everything. The way the moon shone brightly above his head. The way his large callused hands fit my soft small ones. The way my body seemed to fit against his perfectly. I opened my eyes and looked up at him lovingly. His bright blue eyes were shinning as he looked down at me with sincerity. His brown hair was flattened and a part of it fell over his left eye. I stood on my tiptoes and pushed his hair back as I smiled at him
