Ben and Elizabeth fell asleep on the couch while watching Finding Nemo. Thankfully Gabriella now had time to finish some of the homework she had brought.
She heard footsteps coming from the stairs and turned around to see who it was. To her surprise it was Troy. He looked like he was trying to be quiet and sneaky and from what Steven had told her, his sneakiness wasn't a good sign. So being the fantastic babysitter was she got up from the couch and stood behind him.
"What are you doing?" Gabriella said to him suddenly. He jumped and turned around startled.
"Jesus Christ! You scared the shit out of me!" The two kids started to move and Gabriella shushed him. "Sorry, but did you really have to sneak up on me like that? My god." He whispered this time.
"I didn't mean to surprise you." Lying, Gabriella started to walk towards the bathroom. "So what is it exactly that you would like?"
"I can't just walk around my new house?"
"No."
"Oh. Well then, I was getting something to eat." He said following her.
"Unfortunately the kitchen is closed right now. It's part of the rules." She smiled but never turned around.
"Please?!"
"Stop screaming! You're going to wake them up!"
"If I stop screaming will you let me into the kitchen?"
"Possibly." She stopped and turned around suddenly causing him to run into her.
He took a step back and said, "What now?"
"Are you going to follow me into the bathroom?" She asked a smile creeping upon her face.
"Uh… no?"
"Then turn around and walk away." She said as she opened the door in front of her and walked inside the room.
"God you're bossy." The front door opened causing Troy once again to jump.
"Gabriella?" Steven called from inside the living room.
"I'm in the bathroom." Gabriella whispered.
Troy was now sitting down and leaning against the door. "I know that."
"Tell him."
"Why don't you?" he whispered back.
"Just do it." She was starting to get annoyed.
Steven walked into the hallway leading to the bathroom. He saw Troy leaning against the door. "Did Gabriella leave?"
"Nope." He mumbled.
"Then where is she?" Steven was starting to get annoyed with his son's lack of words.
"Bathroom." Just as Troy was about to stand up Gabriella swung the door open causing Troy to fall backwards.
"I'm right here." She said as she stepped over Troy like he wasn't even there.
I know, I know. Really short but I think that's how I'm going to make them from now on. That way I can update quicker. I promise though, that they won't get any shorter than this…. Hopefully. Lol.
