Gabriella sat twiddling her thumbs watching a rerun of Friends. She sighs deeply not being able to concentrate. In roughly 10 minutes Troy should be knocking at her door and she just couldn't fight the butterflies swirling in her stomach. They had arranged to meet after school to work on the homeroom assignment and the couple of hours that had gone by since school she had felt sick with nerves. It's not like troy had never been round her house before. It was the fact that for this week they were a couple. In fact they were not only that they were also married. Gabriella's stomach does a flip just thinking about it. For any of the other partners it was no big deal but to her and Troy this was huge. This could potentially make or break a relationship ever happen between them. This was basically a trial run. If they couldn't make it through a week what hope would they have?
Gabriella was interrupted from her thoughts by her door bell ringing. She feels a familiar stir in her stomach as she gets up from couch and heads into the hall. She glances in to the mirror beside the door and runs her fingers through her dark curly hair until she was satisfied it was tame. She straightens out her red dress that compliments her golden skin until she feels presentable. She sighs as she heads towards the door. She opens it to reveal a fidgety troy looking just as nervous as her. He looks up from the ground as he hears the door opening and is met by the most intense brown eyes. He feels like he is knocked back a steep as he holds the gaze. Neither says a word they just stare not knowing how long they had been silent for. Gabriella is the first to break the gaze "hey" she simply says and steps to the side signalling for troy to go in.
"Thanks" troy smiles sheepishly as he enters her house. He waits for her to close the door. Then lets her slip in front to lead him into the living room. As she walked he couldn't help but check her out from behind and he liked what he saw. "Take a seat ill just get us some drinks" Gabriella turns around catching troy looking at her butt. She giggles as troy furiously blushes. "coke ok?" she smiles as troy just nods embarrassed. Gabriella leaves the room and Troy heads towards the couch. He flops down and starts to watch the episode of Friends Gabriella had left on. She soon returns with to cans in her hands and takes a seat next to Troy and passes him one. He smiles a thanks and carries on watching the episode. She soon slips back in to it and 20 minutes later the credits roll signalling the end.
"That was just to funny" Troy laughs turning to look at Gabriella.
"Yea especially the bit when Ross burns his hands!" she giggles
"that show never gets old"
"yea I know" she nods in agreement. "well Mr Bolton I suppose we should get started on this assignment."
"I think your right Mrs Bolton" Gabriella stomach does another flip and could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks
. Troy smiled thinking how adorable she looked right now. Gabriella calmed her self down and reached for her back pack that was beside the couch and reached in side for the hand out Miss Darbus gave them. Once she retrieved it she threw the back pack to the side and began to read it through. Troy peered over her shoulder to see what she was reading. He rested his chin on her shoulder and she could feel his breath tickle her neck gently. She closed her eyes as it felt so good. She sighs a little which troy hears and removes his chin. He turns her around slowly so that she was now facing him. Her eyes drop to the floor feeling a little embarrassed but troy immediately cups her cheek and brings there eyes level. She could feel his intense blue orbs crash dramatically into her chocolate brown. Making her feel both excited yet vulnerable. She could see a look of lust in his. They were being drawn together almost magnetically neither breaking the gaze. Inches apart Gabriella watches as troy closes his eyes and tilts his head to the side. Her heart was beating what felt like a thousand beats a second. She responds by closing her own.
Troy's phone vibrates in his jean pocket causing him to jump back in surprise. "What the…" he digs deep in his pocket to retrieve his phone and curses the caller that was flashing up on the screen. He smiles apologetically at her as she blushes for the hundredth time that day. He angrily flips his phone and places it to his ear.
"Chad now is not a good time…what? No... Look I've got to go…Chad!... I said not now!" Troy flips down the phone and looks at Gabriella. "Sorry… it's Chad being a women again" he half laughs. The atmosphere was now awkward. Gabriella shifts uncomfortably in her chair trying to look for a distraction. She sees the hand out beside her and picks it up pretending to read through it.
"so the assignment…" she says to divert the attention.
"yea the assignment" troy sighs.
