Chapter Eight

"So, you're coming clubbing with us, right?" Taylor asked. I'd been on the phone with her for about an hour explaining to her what happened and all she could do was aski if I was going clubbing?

"Tay, this is serious! I walked in on my best friend, naked, and I liked what I saw. Can't you help me figure out what to do?" I asked her in a whisper. Troy's office door was open, and he wasn't in there. I wanted to be careful so that he didn't walk in and hear me.

"Well, I could, but I'm more concerned about going out to party with my friends."

"Thanks for being oh-so-helpful." Don't you just love my sarcasm?

"Listen, all you have to do is give into your feelings and tell him before it's too late. You don't want to tell him that you're in love with him when he's at the alter."

"It's easier said than done. We dated before, and I'm realizing that it was problably the best relationship I've ever been in."

"That's nice to know." I froze and slowly looked up at my door. There stood Seth Matthews.

"Um, I'll call you back later." I said into the phone as I placed it back on the reciever. Taylor was trying to tell me something, but it'll have to wait. "Hi Seth." I croaked out. Why can't I speak?

"Hey yourself." His voice was as smooth as his movements. He walked over behind my desk and pulled me up slowly with my hand. As he placed a soft kiss on my cheek, he whispered, "How've you been?"

"Good." I flashed him a smile and sat back down. I gestured for him to sit in one of the other chairs. "What brings you here?" Stay casual Gabriella.

"Brie, the only possible reason for me to be here is because of a job." What? Seth doesn't need a job! He owns his own company, and his dad's loaded.

"Get real! You definitely don't need a job with your profession." I smirked at him and he just chuckled.

"You caught me." he put his hands up in defeat. "I came to see how you were doing."

"Seth, I told you I was fine." Ever thought someone could care too much?

"I meant how you were doing with Troy." Oh, that...

"In that department, it's terrible." I stood up from my desk and walked over to my file cabinet.

"Has he seen what you're wearing today?" Seth asked as his hazel eyes looked me up and down.

"Funny thing is, he picked this out." I laughed. "I tried hinting to him that I was falling for him, but he thought it was someone else."

"Wow. He's still the same old Troy." I smiled as Seth got up. "I say we form a plan."

"We are not tying him up in a chair and forcing him to listen to me." I scolded him sternly.

"I wasn't going to do that." Maybe it was just me... "I was thinking that we make him jealous." I turned around and looked at him. All he did was smirk. "I know you want to." He said slyly as he strode over to me.

"I do not!" I bickered. There was no way I would get myself into that mess.

"Think about it, Brie. You're always available to him, and all he sees in you is a good friendship. You have to show him what he's missing, otherwise you can say good-bye and move over for Cassandra." Did I really want that?

"I don't know-" I didn't get to finish. Seth planted his lips on mine and kissed me slowly. His arms encircled themselves aorund my waist.

"Am I interrupting something?" We broke apart at the sound of Troy's voice. I pushed Seth away and tried to straighten myself out.

"Um, no." I answered. Troy nodded and walked futher into my office.

"Seth." Troy said, his jaw was clenched. Seth gave him a nod. "I thought you were supposed to be meeting with a new employee." Oh damn! How could I forget?

"She is. I applied here." What?! He pinched my arm to get me to go along.

"Oh right. I...we were just discussing his...people skills. They're um, very impressive." Troy looked as if he were going to explode. Was he getting jealous?

"I'm sure. Gabi, I need to talk to you...alone." Well, we know he's angry.

"Alright. We'll be in touch." I said to Seth. He smiled and kissed my cheek. As he left, he gave a smirk to Troy. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I'll make this easy. Were you talking about Seth last night?"

"Um..." What do I say? If I tell him yes, than he'll just go against it. if I tell him no, he'll yell at me for kissing him. "yes?" Here it comes...

"Why? Please, explain to me why on earth you would start to fall for him again?"

"Troy, you shouldn't be angry. You said it yourself, I need a man in my life."

"Yes!...any man but him! Gabi out of all the guys you dated, I'd rather you date me before dating him." Okay, now is that a good thing or a bad thing?

"Don't blame me. You picked out my outfit this morining." I'm trying to lighten the mood.

"I know, but at least we won't have to worry about him being here everyday."

"Why not?"

"Because we're not hiring him."

"Why wouldn't we hire him?"

"Fine, we hire him...but no realtionship between the two of you." Who is he? My dad?

"That's not fair. When you and your prescious 'Cassie' dated, I kept quiet."

"So?"

"So?! You ignore everyone else hooking up in this place, but now you're trying to tell me I can't? Well news flash Troy. I can do whatever the hell I want to. I own half of this place. I don't have to follow you." Troy just stood there. He was problably shocked. This was the first time I'd ever blown up at him. He couldn't be used to it.

"You're right. So, from now on...do whatever the hell you want. Just don't expect for me to be there when it all come crumbling down." He turned sharply and walked out of my office. I pushed the drawer of the cabinet and it slammed back in hard. I definitely didn't mean to upset Troy, but he let his jealousy get way out of line. What was I supposed to do? I sighed and slid down against my wall.

"Boss?" My secretary knocked lightly on the door before coming in. "Are you okay?" I nodded my head and she smiled. "It's just 'cause he's jealous. He doesn't like it when other guys even look at you. He didn't mean any of it."

"Thanks Ally." I gave her a small smile as she helped me back to my feet. "You should take an early lunch." She laughed.

"Will do, now you've got to be in the board room in five minutes for the meeting." I nodded as she made her way out. How was I going to stay focused with Troy angry at me? There's no way. I can see it now. I go to speak my mind on something, and Troy giving me this evil stare. I'll have to live with it...for now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boring, Boring, Boring! That's what this stupid meeting is. All we're doing is discussing the layout of the new building. Why did I agree to go? There is nothing there for me! I have nothing to go there for. I only agreed because of Troy. I hope he's happy.

"What are you thoughts on that Ms. Montez?" Oh, great! The one time I'm not paying attention, they want to ask questions.

"I think it's terrible. We should have some yellow flowers outside of the doors." Troy stated. He was giving me a hint.

"I agree with Troy. It would definitely give it a home-y feeling." I smiled a 'thank you' to him and he nodded. The meeting was over thirty minutes later.

"We're going to have to pick some lawyers to go with you." Not this again, but at least he's talking to me.

"Troy, I'd rather not talk about the move right now." I told him. He nodded and walked briskly into his office. I followed. "I'm sorry." He stopped for a moment before walking and dropping the file on his desk.

"Don't be. I got out of hand." Aw, he looks so cute right now.

"Yeah, but I shouldn't have yelled. Look, I love the fact that you're so protective of me, but Seth is a good guy. If he ever tries anything with me, you'll be the first to know." Troy gave me that million dollar smile and I melted.

"Alright. I just care about you. Sometimes, problably more than I should." Again...is that good or bad? "Oh, I've been meaning to ask you..." For my hand in marriage?

"Yeah?"

"Do you have the number of our childhood priest? Pastor Phil?" Sigh. I knew it wouldn't happen.

"Matarazzo? My mom does. We can get it at dinner." He nodded.

"I've gotta go. I'm meeting Cassie for lunch." He kissed my cheek and caressed the spot with his thumb. "Bye Gabi."

"Bye." I whispered when he was already out the door. Sighing, I flipped open my phone and started to text Tay. I told her that I'd come to relization with my feelings and that I needed a night with the girls. She agreed and said she'd spread the word. I can only imagine the acomplished looks on their face when I tell them what I'm talking about.

Myself loving Troy. Yeah, pretty weird.

An- I'll explain it all next chapter! I hope you all liked this, and like I said before...Seth will play a big part.
