Hey! Yes everyone I did write the poem, I write a lot of poetry too though sometimes I feel I'm not very good at it :(
So if anyone wants to borrow my poem for their stories where Troy is proclaiming his love for Gabriella Hehe, or anything else, you have my permission but I expect credits! Ha-ha
You're all more than welcome! Anyway, this next chapter is four years later!
Chapter 29 – Four Years Later
TROY woke brightly and early that warm summer's morning on July 27th 2011. Yes, it was four years later since Gabriella and Troy had finally pronounced to one another that they were undyingly in love and wanted to be together for the rest of their lives. Troy was twenty one and Gabriella twenty. They moved in with each other a year ago and loved each others company.
Troy shifted lazily and opened his eyes to find Gabriella's side of the bed empty. She was training to be an English teacher, not that she needed it! Troy was the coach at East High school and loved it more than anything. He pulled himself out of bed and stretched, their golden retriever Poppy rushed towards him barking joyfully and he patted her head and made his way downstairs.
He was greeted by the soft aromas of cooked breakfast and he walked into the kitchen and found Gabriella humming to herself as she leaned over a saucepan which sizzled full of bacon.
Troy kissed her cheek warmly and Gabriella laughed. Gabriella turned in his arms and met his lips with hers.
"Good morning Brie." Troy said pulling away and moving to the kettle to make some tea.
"Morning!" Gabriella chimed in cheerfully.
As they made breakfast together Troy's mind went to the second poem he had made for Gabriella four years ago. She often queried him on it but he was sure never to let her near it though sometimes he would catch her looking for it.
"Chad phoned earlier." Gabriella said.
"What did he want?" Troy queried.
"I don't know, he wanted to talk to you. He wouldn't tell me what he wanted." Gabriella said turning to her partner and looking confused.
"Oh, 'Troy said smirking, he was glad Gabriella didn't' see, "I'll phone him later."
Gabriella placed to plates steaming with a full cooked English breakfast and Troy placed their tea on the table as they sat down.
"Sharpay was sure she was going into labour today…but it was a false alarm." Gabriella giggled.
"You should see Zeke, she's all he talks about and it's the baby this and the baby that! It's driving me mad." Troy replied as he helped himself to a slice of toast.
"He's just excited!" Gabriella whispered touching Troy's hand from across the table.
Troy rolled his eyes but kissed Gabriella's hand all the same, he was too soft with her!
GABRIELLA dropped Troy off at work as she usually did every morning. Troy smiled and touched her cheek.
"I'll see you later baby." He exclaimed.
"Yeah, I love you." Gabriella said but Troy remained sitting in the car.
"So…to celebrate our five years together, the gang's deciding to maybe go out for dinner tonight! What do you think?" Troy asked.
"Sure, I haven't seen Kelsi in ages and I'd love to know how she and Ryan are doing! And the children, I always miss them when they don't stay over." Gabriella said dejectedly.
"Look Gabriella, we've talked about this! You're training to be a teacher and I'm…oh don't cry…don't cry please." Troy said giving in completely.
Gabriella wiped away her tears but more continued to fall and he closed his eyes, he couldn't believe he was giving in to her.
"Okay, we'll start trying for a baby! If it'll make you happy!" Troy said and Gabriella brightened immediately and wrapped her arms around him.
"You're the best and who knows…maybe we can start trying tonight." Gabriella giggled flirtatiously.
"Hmm, I like that idea miss Montez." Troy chuckled kissing her softly.
When they pulled away Gabriella smiled, "You're the best."
"I know! I keep telling myself." Troy laughed.
"Right, so I'll see you later." Gabriella exclaimed
"Do I have a choice?" The young man questioned.
Gabriella touched Troy's nose and nuzzled it with hers, "Never." She said sweetly.
Troy kissed her cheek one last time before he got out of the car and walked towards East High. Gabriella waved goodbye before she started the car up again and rode off again.
ALL the friends met up that night in a restaurant 'Hudgens. Troy chuckled as he watched Gabriella. She was dressed in a simple yet elegant blue dinner dress and was talking rather enthusiastically to Taylor who balanced on her hip a very sleepy little girl and another, completely identical attached to her hand. Taylor and Chad had two children, twins, both little girls called Megan and Madison. They took after Taylor with looks but they definitely had Chad's soft spot for basketball. They were two years old. They were proper little tomboys but it looked as if Taylor had forced them to dress properly for both little ones were dressed in pink dresses.
Chad walked up to Troy and nudged him, "So tonight's the night." He chuckled.
"Shush Gabriella might hear you. She still has no idea that I'm reading her the second poem tonight." Troy exclaimed.
Sharpay waddled up to them with Zeke supporting her as she went, she was heavily pregnant, nine months and both parents were exceedingly excited. Zeke and Sharpay got married two years ago and had been very much inseparable through the rest of High School. Sharpay was terribly anxious to meet their first born Baylor.
"Hey everybody!" Sharpay said breathlessly.
"Hi guys, whoa, you're getting big, 'Chad said, his eyes widening, "I can't wait to meet my first nephew."
"Chad, we've told you stop dubbing the baby's gender! We'll find out when I go into labour." Sharpay said sharply.
"Hey! I couldn't have boys not that I don't love my little angels, 'Chad said as Taylor walked passed with their children giving him a reproachful look. She handed him the sleeping Megan and he rocked her back and fore, a look of tenderness on his face, "I think we're going to try for more soon."
"Whoa Chad! How many children do you want and I wonder where Ryan and Kelsi are?" Sharpay said looking to the door.
Chad chuckled and walked off with Megan who was starting to mutter little words in her sleep, Troy laughed, Chad loved his children, he absolutely doted on them!
Gabriella walked over to Troy and kissed his cheek and he slipped his arms around her waist.
"You know I still can't believe we used to bully this girl?" Zeke said.
"Yeah, we're so sorry Gabriella; we weren't…exactly the sweetest populars in school." Sharpay said looking exceedingly guilty.
"Hey don't worry about it, 'Gabriella said hugging Sharpay though it was kind of hard with Sharpay's huge stomach, "I love you all so much."
Ryan and Kelsi finally did arrive; they were engaged and were getting married in a month. Everyone sat down to eat and began to talk about their businesses and what they were doing on the weekends, it was a great dinner.
"Hey I think we should make a toast, 'Ryan said cheerfully as he raised his glass, "To four years later!" He said and everyone laughed and clinked glasses.
Troy suddenly stood up and nodded to Chad, Zeke and Ryan. The girls all looked confused especially Gabriella.
"I'd like to…um…make an announcement." He said and the girls looked around perplexed…
OOH! Another cruel cliff hanger! I love it! The next chapter is called 'Bullied Into Love' so that'll be the end then! No more, crying but you've all been great and like I said before, you're all more than welcome to use my poem, as long as I get credits!
I won't be writing a sequel sorry guys, I'll just be focusing on my next story 'In Need Of A Saviour' I'm sorry for those I might disappoint! Anyway, keep reading and check out my new story! xoxMusicalxox
