Chapter 11
Troy rubbed his bleary blue eyes as he was woken by a knock at his hotel door.
He glanced to his right to look at the red numbers on the alarm clock. 2.30 am. Who an earth would be knocking on his door at this time? He had a few ideas but he was going with either Stacey or Gabriella and he hoped it was the latter.
He swung his legs out of bed and crosses the room in 5 short strides before unlocking his door to find his brunette brown eyed Filipino girlfriend stood on the other side shivering. Her body encased in only a black tank top and black short shorts.
"Brie what's up?" asks Troy groggily
"It's so cold," whispers Gabriella
Troy reaches out a hand and rests his palm against her forehead.
"You're not warm so you're not coming down with anything it could be to do with what you're wearing," suggests Troy
Gabriella glances down at her outfit.
"I'll go see if I can find your hoodie," says Gabriella
"You lost it," gasps Troy jokingly
"Misplaced it so Tay can't find it," explains Gabriella
"And forgot where it was try under the bed, in your drawers and in your suitcase," says Troy
Gabriella walks into her room to search and Troy leans against his door frame knowing that she would be back in a matter of minutes with or without his sweatshirt.
True to Troy's estimation Gabriella returns minutes later smiling brightly, Troy's hoodie hanging loosely from her small frame.
"Gorgeous," whispers Troy
Gabriella smiles. "Can I come in?" she whispers
"I'd have to think about that," Troy answers
Gabriella walks past him knowing his answer.
Troy grins and shuts the door, locking it before going over to get in bed next to Gabriella and encasing her in his arms.
"Sleep now Brie," whispers Troy
He feels Gabriella nod against his chest. A few seconds later he hears her gentle and relaxed breathing indicating she is asleep.
In a matter of moments he, himself is also in a deep slumber.
The couple are woken, the next morning by the sunlight peeping in from the side of the curtains and streaming directly across their faces.
"Morning," whispers Troy
"Morning," smiles Gabriella
They enjoy the comfortable silence that hangs between them for a couple of minutes.
"Troy I think today is the day," says Gabriella
"Are you sure Brie?" asks Troy
Gabriella nods.
"100% sure?" he asks
Gabriella leans her head on his chest and thinks.
If they told there would be more grief from-Stacey, Cheerleaders, Taylor and Chad.
Gabriella looks up to Troy a look of uncertainty on her face.
"It will happen when it happens when the moment is right," says Troy
"That's deep," says Gabriella
"I'm a changed man," says Troy
"Your not 18 yet your not a man," laughs Gabriella
"Fine changed person," mutters Troy
Gabriella snuggles her head into his chest.
"So what we doing today wildcat?" she asks a few moments later.
"Today we are going to Madam Tussaud's New York so make sure your camera is charged and then we will get the subway to Junior Restaurant in Brooklyn we'll then catch the subway to Madison Square Gardens before coming back here and getting ready for dinner on the Spirit Cruises," says Troy
"Woah Troy you cannot spend that much money on me," says Gabriella
"Who says I'm paying," grins Troy
"Who is?" asks Gabriella
"Mum and dad gave me spending money so I've spilt it and half is for souvenirs from the places we go to and the other half is for getting into the attractions," explains Troy
"I am paying half for Madam Tussaud's and the full for Madison Square Gardens," says Gabriella
"No," says Troy
"Troy I don't want you to pay it all it's not fair," says Gabriella
"Gabriella don't argue I want to do something nice for you and give you a great day," sighs Troy
"You have give me plenty of great days yesterday we went to the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building, Tuesday we went to Top Rock and you got me a top from Bloomindales and Monday we walked around New York and went and saw the New York Kicks and I have a had a great time I just think you should your money on you," says Gabriella
"Gabriella there is only one thing important to me and that is you so if I want to spend money on you I damn will do," says Troy
Gabriella flops against the bed and curls up on her side away from Troy.
"So do we have a deal?" asks Troy stroking the exposed skin of Gabriella stomach.
"No because your not paying for me I will pay mine at everywhere expect for dinner and if you don't like it I'll find something else to do," says Gabriella getting out of the bed and walking towards the door.
"Fine do your own thing I find someone else to go with," says Troy
"And why don't you find someone else to be your girlfriend because I am sick of you spending money on me to make me happy when all I need is you to make me happy and not material things," says Gabriella exasperated
Troy leaps at of bed and runs over to her.
"Woah Brie I don't want to break up," says Troy
"Well maybe we need to have a break," says Gabriella
"What," says Troy
"I think it's best if we have a break to think about what we both want," says Gabriella
"I know what I want and it is to spend the rest of my life with you because I love you and you make me happy and there is no one else I would rather be with then you," exclaims Troy
"I'm sorry Troy," whispers Gabriella her hand on the door handle
"Gabriella wait," shouts Troy
Gabriella looks at him.
"Marry me," he says
"What," says Gabriella
Troy grabs a small blue velvet box out of one of his drawers.
"I said Marry me" says Troy
"Troy it's a sweet gesture but we're to young," says Gabriella
"We don't have get married just be engaged I know want and need you in my life and will want you forever there is no other person who makes me feel this way so Gabriella Anne Montez will you marry me?" asks Troy
"I got into Stanford," says Gabriella
Troy puts the ring box down.
"So this is what this has been about?" he asks
Gabriella nods.
Troy pulls her to him.
"Gabriella 1052 miles isn't going to keep us apart don't you remember absence makes the heart grown fonder and besides its not 1052 miles it's 32.5 I'm going to the University of California Berkley" says Troy
"Your switching college for me?" asks Gabriella
"I used to be set on UCLA because of Chad and my dad but when you step into my life my priorities changed and you became the number 1 focus the one person who I love more then anyone I want to be as near as I can to you when we leave East High" says Troy
"I love you wildcat," whispers Gabriella
"So we're ok now?" asks Troy
"We're ok now but put the ring away," says Gabriella
Troy chuckles and puts the ring box back into the drawer.
"That ring will be on your finger someday," he says
"We're going to have some obstacles to face in the next couple of weeks" says Gabriella
"Telling our friends about us and me telling dad and Chad I'm not going to UCLA I think dad might understand but not Chad," says Troy
"I don't want to be there for that," says Gabriella
"So if you won't marry me so will you wear my class ring?" asks Troy
"With pleasure," answers Gabriella
Troy slips the class ring off his finger on onto Gabriella left ring finger.
"Love you Brie," says Troy leaning down to kiss her.
"Love you too," whisper Gabriella accepting his kiss.
