Gabriella woke up the next morning, finding herself in Chris' bed, with him gone. The first thing she thought of was Troy. She didn't get how she could forget that she had the most wonderful night with him the night before. Maybe that was Troy she saw at "Roxbury" last night. Her head was hurting, and she felt numb all over. Chris walked in, and sat in the bed next to her. "Good morning sunshine." He smiled, and kissed her. Gabriella didn't say anything for a while, until Chris asked, "Is something on your mind?" "Well... remember when I told you about seeing my ex last night?" "Yes. I most surely do." "Well, I think I love him, but I don't know." This was something Chris did not want to hear. He glared at her, "You know you don't love him." "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I'm not really sure." She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Gabby, don't do this to yourself." He held her in his arms. "Gabby..." She thought, "... that's what he always used to call me." "Please don't call me Gabby." She said outloud. "Why not?" "To many painful memories."
Troy woke up, and felt something in his hand. He looked over at it to find a thong, with a number written inside of it. "Jessica..." He thought to himself. He sighed and turned his head to the other side. Everything about last night and the night before that flooded back to him. He moaned, and was happy when he realised it was Saturday. He wished that he knew where Gabriella lived, or at least her phone number. He wished that she would come back over to his house. But it would happen when she was ready. He got out of bed, and went to go take a shower. When he was done, he turned on the coffee maker, and went to go get dressed. He chose tan shorts, and a white shirt. He went to the kitchen, got his coffee, and went to the Living Room to watch T.V. He found a special on Basketball, and had it on as he drank his coffee, whiling reading the newspaper.
"Chris. I have to go." "What? Why?" "I need to go see Troy, to make sure my feelings for him are true." Chris had a look of disappointment on his face, but he knew that it was important to her. "Ok. See you later?" She smiled, "Oh definitely." He kissed her softly on the cheek. She looked at him and said, "I'm going to at the "Roxbury" Sunday night. I don't know about tonight yet. But I might." The only reason she told him this was because her feelings for Troy might be fake. She didn't want to lose both of them through this. Chris smiled and they said their good byes. Gabriella got in her car and drove away to the direction she remembered as Troy's house.
Troy had decided to go the gym that day. He had nothing better to do, until it was time to go to a night club again. But it wasn't night, so he would work out, to get more muscular for the ladies. What he didn't realise, was that because of him getting more built for the girl's that didn't mean much to him, that he was missing out on seeing the one girl that meant the world to him.
Gabriella drove up to Troy's home, and sighed, thinking about the night where they had seen each other again after all those years. She got out of the car, and walked slowly up the pavement to the front door of Troy's house. She knocked the door a few times, only to find no answer. She looked at this driveway, and saw the answer. There were no cars, he had left for the day. Gabirella looked at the door, and ran out to her car to get a piece of paper, and pen. She wrote a letter saying this,
Hello Troy, It's Gabriella.
I had forgotten about the other night until last night, I'm so sorry I took so long.
I'm sorry that I missed you, but I had to come to see you.
Here is my number. Call me when you get home.
Love,
Gabriella.
230-304-2940(home)
230-374-3956(cell)
She slipped the note under the door, and drove home.
Several hours later Troy came home. He unlocked the door, and found the note on the floor right away. He read it, and smiled. He couldn't be happier. He ran to the Living Room, picked up the phone, and called her.
Review, and I shall be your best friend.
