Gabi woke up the next morning alone. She found a note next to her and smiled as she looked at the clock, 10:00.
Good morning my love. Didn't want to wake
you up. You look so beautiful when you're
sleeping. Have a nice day. I love you. -troy
She set it back down and got out of bed. She got in the shower and dried her hair. She threw on jeans and a t-shirt. While she was putting on her makeup she heard her phone ring. She sighed as she picked it up.
"Hello?" "Hi, is Gabriella there?" Confused, Gabriella responded, "This is she." "Great news! This is Tracy Johnson, Olivers wife." Gabriella's heart stopped as the woman continued, "They loved your book and want to publish it. Can you make it on Monday for a meeting." Gabriella wanted to scream. "That's great!" "Good. Over the weekend, try to think of a cover for the book." Gabriella's grin got even bigger, "Will do!" "Thank you Ms. Montez. I will be seeing you on Monday." "Bye!" Gabriella said.
As she hung up the phone she screamed. She looked at the clock, 1. She sat down on the bed with paper and pen in hand.
I never listened to my friends advice on taking a risk. Not
when I wanted to ask out a boy, or when I wanted to try
a new sport. The first time I took it was a disaster. I left
everything behind. Miserable? Ofcourse. Not only did
I leave behind everything I ever loved, but I took in so much
more than I bargained for. Some call it luck, well I call it fate.
Fate keeps things together. Fate is always there. Fate never dies.
She smiled as she put the pen down. 2:00. Troy was getting out in two hours. She rushed to her house and looked through her closet. She grabbed a dress and heels and put it on. She played out her makeup a bit and did her hair. She grabbed a small purse and took off. The hour and a half went by quickly, because by the time she got done, it was a half an hour until Troy got out. She drove around whilst calling for reservations and finally she got in. She put the car in park and stood outside of Troy's building. Five minutes later he walked out.
He stood speechless as he seen Gabriella dressed up. He ran over to her and gave her a hug. "Wow!" He said as he took a step back to look at her. Gabi laughed. "What are you doing here?" Troy asked as he kissed her gently on the lips. "We're going out to celebrate!" She said as she led Troy to her car. "Celebrate what exactly?" Troy said as they both got in. "We'll talk about it in a minute." Troy watched as the sun set down over Albequerque. They pulled into a expensive Italian restaraunt. "Wow." Troy said, unsure of what was happening. They sat down at their table.
"Troy. Mrs. Johnson called today." Troy looked confused. "Johnson sent her some of my work, and she loved it, so she asked for more. I ended writing around 400 pages." Gabi grinned, "She called back and they want to publish it." Troy's jaw dropped, "Oh my God. Congratulations." He said grabbing her hand. "You never told me anything about this!" Gabi looked down at their hands, "Never came to mind. It was just a hobby. I didn't think it'd actually do anything." Troy laughed as he kissed her hand, "I'm so proud of you." He paused, "What's the book about." Gabi grinned, "Oh. You'll see."
----------------------
Monday came up quickly. Gabi got up at 8 and got ready for her 12 o clock appointment. She dressed in a blazer and a dress pants. She carried a tote bag with her ideas. She did her hair and left it down. She put on some heels and kissed Troy goodbye. "Good luck today!" Troy said as he kissed her on the lips, "I love you." Gabi smiled, "I love you too."
Gabi watched the clock roll over to 11:oo. She felt a anchor sink in her stomach. She breathed in and out. She wanted it this so badly. She flipped through her diary that she brought with her and read the journal entries from HighSchool. She laughed alot over what little drama they thought was the end of the world. She glanced over at the clock that read a quarter til. She was going to be late if she didn't leave right that second. She grabbed her bag and her purse and headed out the door.
The interview went great. They loved the idea and Gabriella was signed to the publishing company. She sat back in her drivers seat and sighed at what a good say she was having. An idea popped into her head. She rushed to her house and grabbed a few boxes of things. She went to the store and bought food and candles. She smiled as she finally arrived at Troy's house. She had an hour to get things going. She began to cook Fettucine Alfredo and garlic bread. As it was cooking she lit candles in the front room and laid the boxes by the couch. She put the dinner on a plate and Troy walked in, amazed at this. She ran over to him and practically jumped on him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. He grinned, "So things went well." She grinned back, "You have no idea. Sit down." She said, gesturing to the couch. She went in the kitchen and brought out food. He raised an eyebrow, "You cooked?" She hit him playfully upside the head. He kissed her cheek, "It looks great hunny." She smiled. They ate and then Gabi took the dishes to the kitchen and left them on the counter. She walked back in the room. She opened one of the boxes and pulled out a stack of pictures. Troy laughed, "No way!" He said as he grabbed some of them. He looked through pictures of homecoming and prom from their junior and senior year. Gabi curled up to him and laid her head on his shoulder. They spent hours laughing at pictures.
They settled down together under the light of the candles and laid there. It was amazing, it was like old times. It was like fate.
Kind of just a filler of what happened. I'm off to write the next chapter right now!
