Love Story
Gabriella was crying her eyes on her bed in the comfort of her room. She locked her door not allowing or wanting anyone to come in.
"Honey, let me in please." She heard her father say from in the hall.
"No, I don't ever want to talk to you again. Go away." Carlos sighed and just walked away knowing that even though he thought Troy would break her heart, he managed to do so himself.
Gabriella then heard a strange noise, that sounded like a thump and a man's grunt, from outside. Standing up and wiping the tears away from her face she walked out toward on her balcony and saw Troy. Troy! Oh my god it's Troy! She thought.
Troy was standing outside of the mansion watching everyone leave from underneath Gabriella's balcony, where no one could see him, waiting until the cost was clear. After everyone left he made a move to start climbing up the wall to get to the balcony, and room holding his love, when he lost his balance and fell with a giant thump. He groaned as he got up from the pain. As he started to make the same climb he saw that Gabriella was looking down right into his eyes, with a big smile on her face.
"Troy wait one second." She told him.
Not even a minute later Gabriella was running down the entrance stairs and toward Troy. Meeting her halfway there Troy picked Gabriella up and twirled her around.
"Come with me." Troy whispered in her ear.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere where we can be alone," Troy said pulling him towards the gate that held her house.
After walking in comfortable silence Troy lead Gabriella to a secret garden that she has never been to before.
"What is this place?"
"This is a place that I can take you where no one will even think to look." He said before grabbing her by the waist and pulling her toward him.
"Troy," she whispered. He then put a finger on her lips to silence her.
"You have no idea how thankful I am for my mother." He told her.
Gabriella scrunched her face in confusion. His mother? What? Troy laughed at her expression. "She is the one that made me come to your ball and try and find a wife. I didn't want to come but now I'm so happy I did. Even though I've only known you for not even an hour, I love you."
Gabriella's breath caught, Troy had that affect on her, and stared into his beautiful blue eyes. "I love you too."
Troy then crashed his lips to hers. He knew now that all of his previous kisses were nothing. This was a kiss, this was what made him a man, this was the reason he was born, this was a kiss that reached his soul, his heart. This was Gabriella.
After her and Troy broke away from each other they had huge smiles on both of their faces. She knew that she was never going to kiss another man. That kiss was one of perfection, no that's true, it was better. She had never felt a connection like that from just a kiss.
For the rest of the night she and Troy just basked in each other's love. Telling each other everything, and anything. Troy told her about his family, insecurities, and life. Gabriella told Troy about her family, hopes, and dreams. Not even noticing that the sun had gone down and come back up again, signaling a new day.
"Gabriella, darling? Time to wake up." Isabelle knocked on the door leading to her daughter. When she got no answer she thought that Gabriella was probably still sleeping. But when she came back an hour later and still got no answer she became worried. "Carlos!!!"
At the sound of his wife's scream Carlos came running over to where she was. "What's the matter sweetheart?"
"I don't think Gabriella's in there." Isabelle told him panicky. When they finally confirmed that Gabriella was indeed not in her room Carlos immediately told all of his servants to go out looking for her. While he and his wife prayed that their daughter returned home safe.
Gabriella woke up the next morning with two strong arms wrapped around her. Smiling she looked over and saw Troy still sleeping. Leaning down to press a kiss on his forehead, she gently removed his hands from around her waist to stand up and stretch, but as she started to stand Troy grunted at her side.
"Ugh……no," he said with his eyes still closed.
Gabriella laughed at him, "Troy get up, it's morning." After she said that she freaked out. "Oh my god Troy get up! It's morning. We were out all night, my parents are probably freaking out."
Troy then got up so fast that he nearly knocked Gabriella on the ground. "Oh shit, I've got to get you back."
"Yeah, come on." After they both got up they grabbed each other's hand and started running back to Gabriella's mansion. After only a few minutes they were now walking up the steps into her mansion, to see Carlos and Isabelle sitting on the stairs holding each other. Carlos looked up at the sound of the front door closing and saw Gabriella standing there holding Troy's hand.
Him and Isabelle let go of each other just so that they could run over to Gabriella and hug the life out of her.
"Baby, are you okay?" Isabelle asked Gabriella.
"I'm fine mom." Gabriella replied hugging her mom just as tight.
"I could have you arrested for kidnapping my daughter, you son-of-a-bitch." Carlos yelled at Troy who was watching the family reunite in the doorway.
"Daddy, he didn't kidnap me. I went with him." Gabriella tried to tell her father.
"Gabriella go to your room. Now!" Carlos yelled, Gabriella stood where she was looking Troy in the eyes.
"I love you," she whispered before running up to her room in tears.
"You are never going to come near my daughter again." Carlos threatened.
Troy didn't know what to say. The father of the girl he loved more then anything was telling him not to love her. He was basically breaking his heart.
"Why?" Troy dared to ask.
"Because I know your reputation, you are a bachelor that only uses women for his own pleasure, and doesn't care about anyone but yourself. Gabriella is to good for you."
Troy was so distraught at the words coming out of Carlos's mouth that he just turned and ran out of the Montez's estate with tears in his eyes.
Gabriella was again on her balcony watching Troy run away from her home, and her heart.
