Hey sorry about the wait, but here is another update!
Disclaimer: I don't won HSM or anything else in this story.
Gabi put the microphone back on its stand and jumped down off the stage. She glanced at her watch and swore under her breath, she was going to be late for dinner with prospective clients.
"Oh no, Katy I have to go, I have a meeting with a couple who want me to sing at their wedding too, I'll call you tomorrow morning just to confirm everything" said Gabi.
"Oh ok, well I'll talk to you again later on, thanks for everything today!" replied Katy giving Gabi a tight hug.
"Hey Troy" said Gabi, turning to face him, "How about I get your number, just to run through some stuff, seen as you're the best man and I'm the maid of honour.".
"Sure Gabi, my phone is in my bag, I'll walk out with you and give it to you" Troy replied.
They walked side by side through the doors and out into the surprisingly warm air, neither able to summon the courage to break the silence. Finally Troy spoke up, "So, here's my number, I'll be around most of the time, don't really know my way around here so nothing much to do!" he said.
Gabi smiled up at him and then came up with an idea. "Hey, why don't I give you a tour tonight? I'll be done with this meeting pretty quickly, and then I can show you the best places to go." She said excitedly.
"Really? Well that would be awesome Gabi, it really would! Why don't you just give me a call when you're done and we can arrange a meeting place and a time?" he replied, just as excited.
"Sure, well I'll see you later Mr Bolton" Gabi said leaning up to give Troy a soft kiss on the cheek. She got into her taxi, and waved at Troy before the taxi took her out of sight.
Bloody hell, I have a feeling this night is going to be one of the best nights ever! thought Troy, whilst gently touching the spot where she had kissed him.
Gabi finished her meeting at 6pm and called Troy to arrange to meet at her house at 7:30pm. She gave him the address and hurried home to have a shower and get dressed.
At almost exactly 7:30, the doorbell rang, and Gabi jumped up and went to answer the door.
Troy stood nervously outside the door with a bunch of flowers he had bought for Gabi, and when the door opened, he felt like his jaw had literally dropped. Gabi was standing there, wearing a simple yet stunning black knee length dress, with her exotic hair flowing down her back in natural curls.
"Wow Gabi you look…wow!" stuttered Troy, trying desperately not to sound stupid.
"Thanks, you look pretty damn handsome yourself Mr Bolton" Gabi graciously replied. She looked at him and realised just how good looking he truly was. He was wearing a sharp black suit but with no tie, making the outfit casual yet smart.
"Right so where is our first stop?" asked Troy, eventually regaining his composure. "Well, I thought we could go for a walk to a nice restaurant about 5 minutes from here" Gabi replied.
"Sure, that sounds good!" Troy said as Gabi locked her door and led Troy away from the building and down to the side of the river Thames.
The river looked lovely, with the moonlight hitting the water and Troy couldn't help himself, so he reached down and took Gabi's hand in his, interlacing their fingers. He was very relieved when she didn't pull away, but instead gave his hand a quick squeeze.
After five minutes of comfortable silence, Gabi stopped, indicating that they were at the restaurant. She walked in, still holding Troy's hand, and walked straight to the bar. She took a seat at a small table for two and motioned for Troy to sit with her.
"What do you want to drink? I think you should try the whisky, it's strong but good" Gabi said. "Sure well I'll have that then, what are you having, my treat" replied Troy standing up and heading over to the bar. "I'll have a white wine, thanks Troy".
When Troy came back with the drinks, Gabi decided to strike up some conversation.
"So Bolton, when are you planning on leaving after the wedding?" she said. "Ehm, I'm really not too sure actually, I had planned on leaving like the next day, but that was before" Troy replied. "Before what?" asked Gabi curiously. "Before I met you again, I think I might stay for a while now, I mean if that's ok with you?" Troy said, suddenly feeling quite anxious.
Gabi reached over, grabbed Troy's hands and said "Of course it's ok Troy, I want you to stay for a while, I want to see where this is going".
They stayed in silence, holding each others hands for a while, until Gabi suggested that they head over to this lively club to see the night life of London.
They called a taxi and arrived at the club. Gabi grabbed Troy's hand again and they walked straight into the club, walking in on a bouncing atmosphere.
After another round of drinks, Gabi dragged Troy up to the dance floor, when Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback" came on. Gabi grabbed Troy's arm and placed it round her stomach, with her back turned to him, whilst Troy grinded against her.
A few songs later and Gabi and Troy collapsed into a booth, both breathing heavily.
"Wow, well that was fun" said Troy, regaining his breath. "Yeh, it sure was, but the wedding is tomorrow, so we better be going!" replied Gabi.
They exited the club and soon found themselves standing outside Gabi's door once again.
"This was fun Troy, I'm glad we met up." Said Gabi, pulling Troy into a meaningful hug, "Yeh me too, I'm so happy I found you again Gabs" Troy replied.
They reluctantly pulled back slightly, still holding on to each other. Troy looked down at the love of his life and decided to take his chances. He leaned down and placed his lips on hers, finding himself ecstatic when she decided to deepen the kiss, wrapping her arms round his neck.
She took one hand down and used it to push open the unlocked door and Troy was willingly pulled inside. The door slammed after them, and they spent that night "getting to know each other again" pretty well.
Woo, that's another one!
Well please review as always!! xx
