Chapter 24

"The honeymoon suite," Troy announced as he unlocked the door.

The suite had a big bed, a computer, a kitchen are, a dining area, anda huge bathroom with a showerhouse and a hot tub.

The suite was SWEET!

''This is life," Gabriella said as she laid down on the bed. Troy laid down next to her and put his hand on her stomach. He kissed her and soon they were making out.

Gabriella pushed him away. "Troy."

"Gabi," Troy pleaded, trying to kiss her again. But Gabriella stopped him.

"Later," she promised. "After dinner."

Troy smirked. He was really going to enjoy this honeymoon.

Sharpay put on her sexy red sundress over her pink and black striped bikini. Tonight was the Summer Splash Down at the Aloha Hotel. There was going to be a party at the Aloha Beach.

And she kenw for a fact that Troy and Gabriella were going. She had overheard them talking about their plans for their stay at the Aloha Hotel. And she had memorized the entire conversation (hello, actresses need to memorize things).

Sharpay let her long hair down flow down her back. She took her beach tote and put in sunblock, extra clothes, and a bottle full of wax-oil (I think that's what it's called. I'm not sure). What better way to make a boy fall for you then make him cover your body with oil?

She put on her sunglasses and smiled. She looked pretty hot...and she knew it.

"Aloha!" a man said to Troy and Gabriella. He put leis around their necks and stuck a flower into Gabriella's hair. Then he started greeting the next group of guests.

Troy grinned. "Wow, this is some party."

He couldn't be more correct. There were families in bathing suites splashing each other in the water. There were young teenagers flirting with each other. Kids were at the refrehsment tables, filling their plates with pineapples, coconut flavored cookies, and banana coated cake. The music was pumping loud and everyone had a smile on their face. A huge banner was hanging from two pine trees. It read:

ALOHA! WELCOME TO THE SUMMER SPLASH DOOWN!

Gabriella and Troy claimed a spot on the sandy beach and laid out their towels. Troy had even brought a small lounge chair.

Gabriella sat down on the towel and stared at the beach, watching kids goofing off. She remembered when she was that young...

When she was visiting her aunt in Brazil...

"Gabi! Look over here!" Mr. Montez called out. A five-year-old Gabriella turned around and found herself being splashed.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed. Mr. Montez picked her up and spun her around in the water while Mrs. Montez and her sister, Aunt Isabella, watched with amusement. Gabriella's cousin, Juan, was video-taping the whole thing.

Gabriella and Mr. Montez splashed each other and laughed, collecting funny-shaped seashells and pointing at peculiar people on the beach. Like there was this one man who was red as a lobster. And a little girl who had very pale skin.

And then all of the sudden, a huge wave was come in.

"Gabriella! Miguel!" Mrs. Montez called out (Miguel was Mr. Montez's name). The two noticed the wave. Mr. Montez was carrying Gabriella to safety, but Juan, wanting to save them, had jumped into the water. There was one problem...he couldn't swim!

Juan went under the water. Mr. Montez had put Gabriella on the beach and went to save Juan. Before he did, he whispered to Gabriella, "I'll be back."

That was the first promise he broke...and the last.

Mr. Montez's body had never been found. There was no sign of him in the ocean. Nobody knew if he was dead or alive...

Gabriella stared at the ocean. And then all of the sudden, tears started coming out.

Troy noticed and put his arm around Gabriella.

"What's wrong?" he whispered.

Gabriella wiped the tear away. "It's just that I started remembering when my dad died. Well, I'm not sure if he died, but my family and I were at a beach in Brazil and..."

She burst into sobs. Troy hugged her.

"It's okay," he whispered.

Just then the couple heard, "Hey, guys!"

It was Hannah (Gabriella and Troy were in Honolulu).

"Fancy seeing you here," she siad, plopping down next to Gabriella. "So I heard about the wedding. Wish I could've come, but at least I got to see you guys on your honeymoon."

Gabriella and Troy laughed. But all of the sudden, Hannah frowned.

"But be careful," Hannah warned. The couple looked at Hannah.

"Why?' Troy joked. "Are we in danger?"

Hannah made a "sort of" gesture with her hand. "Sharpay's here. And she's trying to steal you, Troy."

Gabriella scowled. "Yeah, I kinda figured that out."

"She's here at the party," Hannah told them. "She's right over there." Hannah pointed to a spot near the fence. There was Sharpay, sprawled on her red towel, wearing a sundress.

Troy frowned. How long was he and Gabriella supposed to put up with this?

Troy hugged Gabriella and stared at the ocean. Hannah walked away.

Soon a slow song came on.

"You wanna dance?" Troy asked. Gabriella nodded. They stood up and joined the other couples swaying to the music.

I don't need me a basketball player
All I need is somebody thats down for me
And he dont have to have money
His love is just like honey
Its so sweet to me

Gabriella looked at Troy. She siaid, "You're my basetball player." Troy laughed.

He can have everything in this world
But he'll sacrafice it all for me
And I made up my mind
Im in love this time
And it feels so real

And I
Know that he wont break my heart
And I
Know that we wont ever part
Its time, time for us to settle down
And I
Wanna be with him forever

I love you
And all of the things that you do
Oh baby please
I need you (I need you)
So believe me (I do)
I do
Cause I love you (I love you)
And every lil thing baby (you do)
No no OoO whooOooa OooOo
They don't know how I feel
Cause I know this is real

The song ended and Troy and Gabriella kissed. Sharpay watched the whole thing, scowling. Troy still hadn't noticed her yet.

Fine. I'll make him notice me.

The blonde walked over to the couple and cried out, "Hi! Gabriella, how are you?"

Gabriella and Troy stared at Sharpay like she was an alien from outer space.

"I'd never thought of running into you guys at a party," Sharpay exclaimed. "With Gabriella pregnant and all. How's the baby doing?"

Troy nodded and said, "Great. We came up with names fro the baby."

"Ooh," Sharpay said, pretnending to be interested. "What are you going to call it?"

Gabriella replied, "Trevor Chad Bolton for a boy and Isabella Kelsie Bolton for a girl."

Sharpay grinned, but flinched a bit at the name "Bolton". They were gonna be Gabriella's kids' last name.

Not if I can help it, Sharpay thought bitterly. If I had a son I would name Troy Richard Bolton Jr. and my daughter would be Neveyah Eclair Bolton.

"So, uh, do you wanna go swimming?" Sharpay asked Gabriella. The brunette shook her head. "I think I'll stay on the beach.

Sharpay turned to Troy. "What about you, Troy?"

Troy looked at Gabriella. Before, he could respond, Sharpay stripped off her sundress, revealing her very sexy bikini.

"Come on," Sharpay said. "It'll be fun. Hannah's over there, too."

Troy said, "Um, well, uh..." he gulped as Sharpay leaned in closer. Troy couldn't but look at boobs.

Man, those are nice bods. Too bad Gabi can't make out because of the baby. Then Troy caught himself. No, stop it, Troy! Sharpay isn't your wife, Gabi is! She's your DAMN wife, TROY! God!

Troy stammered, "Uh, um, well, I guess it w-would be okay." He turned to his wife. "Right, Gabriella?"

Gabriella plastered on a fake smile and replied, "Yeah, sure, say hi to Hannah for me. Tell her..."

But Sharpay had already grabbed Troy's hand and they were running towards the water. Gabriella frowned. Troy had called her "Gabriella" and she noticed that Troy was staring at Sharpay's...chest. And he hadn't even said no. He could've said no to look after her, but instead he went with Sharpay, and didn't even listen when she was about to say where she was gonna be.

Didn't Troy care about her anymore?

Gabriella looked at the water and saw Troy and Sharpay happily splashing each other. People were watching them with bright smiles. Gabriella could read them perfectly. "What a cute couple they make." the faces said.

If they only knew, Gabriella thought. At that moment, she wished she hadn't gotten pregnant. Then she would've been able to wear a bikini and make Troy like her more. She would've been able to join Sharpay and Troy in the water, but she couldn't for the baby's safety.

At that moment, she even wished she had never met Troy.

But she shook those thoughts away.

Don't think that way, Gabi, she scolded herself. You should be happy. Troy's just being friendly to Sharpay. You and Troy are gonna live a happy life together with your child. Didn't Troy promise that nothing would ever come between you and Troy's relationship?

Gabriella smiled. Troy had never broken a promise before.

But her smile faded when she saw the most dreadful thing ever.

Troy kissed Sharpay...

Ooh, tense, very tense. Looks like a lot more Troypay action coming up. Don't worry, no M between them...I promise!
