The Hottest Couple
Holidays, Jealousy and Kids
"Wake up! Wake up!" Gabi said happily jumping on the bed.
"What the hell is going on," he groaned.
"Merry Christmas!" she said jumping.
"Is there are reason you are acting like you are 10," he asked.
"Time to open presents!" she exclaimed and he just couldn't help but laugh.
"Merry Christmas baby," he said and kissed her.
"Lets go!' she giggled.
"Okay I just need some coffee first," he said getting up and she laughed.
"Troy I really hope you didn't get me anything too big, I mean after this ring," she said.
"Don't worry baby," he replied. They went to the tree and started opening gifts, he had gotten her a bunch of DVD collections and accessories for her IPod and she had bought him a bunch of electronic stuff and clothes.
Gabi opened a box to see a Lakers gym bag, "Your Laker bag?" she asked confused.
"Open it," Troy said and she did.
"Oh my god these are so cute!" she exclaimed taking out all the Lakers clothes that were made for women, all with his number. There were regular jerseys and shirts that anybody could get, then dresses, skirts, and designer tee-shirts, that were made exclusively.
"I figured you were running out of things to wear to the games, look on the back," he said. She turned it around to see that it did not read Bolton like she had expected, but Mrs. Bolton.
"Oh Troy," she said sweetly.
"I know you are not my wife yet, but I thought you might like it," he said.
"Troy I love it," she replied.
"I am glad," she smiled.
"But how did you get this stuff," she asked.
"There is a company that does it specially, and they offer it to a bunch of athletes," he said and she nodded, "there is one more thing in there."
She looked through the bag to see a little box.
"Will you stop with the little boxes!" she exclaimed and he just laughed. She opened it up to see a diamond '14' necklace.
"Oh my god! I love it," she said.
"Good," he laughed. She put it on and looked back at the stuff.
"This stuff is so cute, I want more!" she exclaimed.
"Well you can get it if you want, they make everything," he said. Suddenly they heard a car honk.
"Who is that?" Troy asked.
"I dunno lets go see," she replied and opened the gate when he couldn't see. They walked outside to see a white Bentley coupe driving up with a big bow on it. Troy's jaw dropped and turned around to see Gabi smiling. She giggled and nodded.
"Are you kidding me?" he asked in shock and she shook her head.
"Gabriella Montez, are you serious," he asked still in utter shock and she laughed. "Are you trying to tell me that that is mine," he said.
"Yep all yours," she replied.
"I cannot believe you," he laughed and picked her up and kissed her. "I love you. I love you. I love you!"
"Well don't you wanna go see your new car," she said.
"Hell yes," he replied and walked over to it.
"Oh my god," Troy said and the guy from the dealership got out.
"Would you like to get in your new car, Mr. Bolton" he asked.
"Hold on I just need to stare at it for a little longer," he said and they laughed. "I thought they didn't make these in white."
"They don't," Gabriella said.
"You are crazy woman," Troy said looking at her. She just smiled.
"How are you today Ms. Montez?"
"Good John," she replied, "sorry that you had to do this on Christmas."
"No problem, it is my job, plus I am Jewish," he said and she laughed.
"Do I need to sign anything?" she asked.
"Yeah," he said "do you wanna do it now or later?"
"Well Troy is in his own little world right now, and he is gonna be a while so we might as well do it now," she replied.
Meanwhile Troy had gotten in the car and was just sitting there in awe.
"Oh my god! There is a Bose stereo system!" he exclaimed.
"Do you want me to show you everything?" John asked.
"Yes please," he replied.
An hour later Matt, stacy, Chad and Taylor drove up to see Troy and Gabriella standing by his new car.
"Look what I've got," Troy said in a teasing and bragging manner.
"Oh my god," Matt said.
"You have got to be kidding me," Chad said and they ran over to the car.
"Did you buy this for him?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah," Gabriella laughed.
"Are you serious," Matt said.
"Uh huh," Gabriella said.
"You know when most guys ask their girlfriends to marry them, they get thanked that night, Troy gets a Bentley," Chad said.
"Well I did a thank you that night," Troy smiled.
"Troy!" Gabriella exclaimed and he laughed.
"Dude, way to much info," Chad said.
"Yeah, seriously," Matt said, "but more importantly can we get in."
"Yeah, sure. But if you get it dirty you are so dead," Troy said.
"Boys why don't you go for a drive and me and the girls will get lunch ready," Gabriella said.
"Can't argue with that," Troy said and jumped in the car. With that they were off.
NEXT DAY AT CHAD AND TAYLORs
Taylor and stacy were just lounging around watching tv.
"Hey Tay," stacy said.
"Yeah," she replied.
"Do you ever get jealous of Gabi?" she asked.
"Yeah, I mean I used to be more than I am now," Taylor replied.
"What do you mean," stacy asked.
"Like in high school when we would walk into a room and people would just stare at her because she is so beautiful, and I mean even though I had Chad, every girl wants to be looked at the way people looked at her. And at first I was a little jealous of her fame but then I saw all the hardships that came with it and I got over it, I mean she announces her engagement and then can't even spend time with Troy," Taylor said.
"Yeah," stacy sighed.
"Why?" Taylor asked.
"I dunno, just recently it seems like she has the perfect life," stacy said.
"stacy you are beautiful and Matt loves you to death, I wouldn't worry about it," she replied.
"Yeah," stacy said.
"You know what it hasn't gotten to her head yet, and if it does we are here to straighten her out," Taylor said.
"Oh hell yeah we are," stacy said.
THE PARKING LOT AFTER THE GAME
"Troy call me crazy but I think I see a Bentley in your space," Jeff said.
"Oh please, don't get him started," Chad groaned.
"Christmas present," he smiled.
"From Gabriella?" Jeff asked.
"Yep," he replied.
"Are you really that surprised have you seen that ring on her finger," a player said.
"Umm how could you not," Jeff said and Troy just chuckled.
"Well I will see you guys later," Troy said and got into his car. On the way home he kept on thinking about what his teammate had said. Are you really surprised? What is that supposed to mean? That she is just trying to repay me? Did it come from the heart? Troy didn't want to start any drama or get in a fight with Gabi but he knew he had to ask her and it would bug him if he didn't.
"Hey how was the game," she asked.
"Good thanks," he replied walking into the kitchen.
"Um I have a question Gabs," he said standing next to her leaning against the island.
"Yeah," she asked.
"Why did you buy me that car," he asked.
"Umm cause I knew you would like it, you do don't you," she said.
"Oh, I love it. But is a reason you bought it for me cause you know how much money I spent on your ring, and so you thought you should buy me something really expensive," he said.
"What are you talking about?" she asked a little angry.
"Well you didn't defend yourself when Chad said that it was a thank you gift and someone said that it isn't surprising because of your ring. Did that present really come from your heart," he said.
"Yes it did, because I knew you would love it," she said with tears coming to her eyes.
"Then why are you crying?" he asked.
"Because you are partly right, I felt a little guilty wearing this ring around. I mean you put so much into it, so I wanted to get you something that no one else had," she said and he hugged her.
"Gabi, I put so much into it because it is your engagement ring. You shouldn't feel guilty. Plus I have something that no one else has, which is you. But it does mean a lot that you wanted to give me something that I love," he said.
"so you are gonna keep it, right?" she said.
"Oh yeah," he laughed.
"Ok good," she said.
"You wanna go up to bed," he asked.
"Yeah," she said and they went upstairs. They got ready for bed and snuggled up against each other and turned on the TV.
"Troy," she said.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Where do you see yourself in the future," she asked.
"Right here, but with you in my arms as well as a few kids," he replied and she smiled.
"Yeah," she replied.
