Chapter Fourteen

Another two months down, and another two to go. Troy's wedding is growing closer and I have yet to tell him how I feel. In everyone else's eyes, this seems easy, but it's the hardest task I've ever had to complete. Sure, I've got my girls and Seth to help...but that doesn't mean much. Troy is definitely taking more of an interest in me than he was before, but not enough to make him leave Cassandra and come running to me. That's problably why I've been so mean and bitter towards her...that, or the fact that she stole my man! He was mine since we were five, and she comes in put of nowhere and steals him. It doesn't work that way. She needs to go find her own prince charming.

"Gabi, have you listened to anything I said?" Troy asked. I guess in all my thinking, I kinda blocked him out.

"Hm, sorry. Repeat?" I sat up in my chair and tried to focus on him, which is definitely not hard.

"I said I was going to take you out for a surprise, and we could go dress shopping." Woah! Really? That'd be awesome. Just the two of us, all alone, with no carrot-top to ruin it. "I'll even turn my phone off." He offered. At this point, it's a definite YES! "What do you say?" He asked biting on the corner of his bottom lip. Did I mention how hot it is when he does that?

"How can I turn that down?" I laughed. Troy broke out into a smile.

"Sweet. I'll come by after I help Cassie choose a wedding song." My face fell, I could feel it. I mustered up a fake smile before he could notice. Why'd he have to bring up the wedding? "Hey, you okay?" Okay, so maybe he did notice...

"Perfect." I told him falsly. "Just...can't wait for tonight." I lied once more.

"Me neither." 'Me neither'?! Is that good or bad? Argh! Why couldn't he just flash that smile of his and walk out?! I need Seth! He always knows the meaning behind these things.

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

"So, you're going out, alone, with Troy." Seth recited for the billionth time.

"Mhm." I answered, lamely. This was getting old.

"And he's turning his phone off?"

"For pete's sake Seth! Yes!"

"Okay, okay. Sheesh! I was just making sure I heard everything." He was lauging, as I shot him a glare. We were both in my room deciding on what I should wear. I was laying on my back, while Seth paced around. "It sounds like he's missing you." My head shot up at his words. Missing me?

"I haven't gone anywhere. How could he miss me?"

"Doesn't matter. He's been busy with the wedding lately, and hasn't gotten the chance to see you as much as he's used to." He explained.

"Yeah, but I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere for another two months."

"Well, then maybe he's missing you because he knows you'll be gone. I know how he feels, Brie. It's possible to miss someone before they go." I looked up at Seth, only to find that he was staring off with hurt in his eyes. He hadn't lost any family members, so what could be wrong? "He just wants to spend time with you before you go. It's simple. Now about your clothes..." I laughed at his subject change, but I couldn't help but wonder why he looked so hurt.

"You're not gay are you?" I joked. I burst out laughing when Seth's head immediately popped out of my closet with a disapproving look.

"Not funny. I just so happen to have seen you in every article of clothing you own...plus the lacey bra and underwear." He smiked as I halted my giggles. "Who's bad? I'm bad." We both started laughing again as he pulled out my brown tiny polka dotted hoddie and a pair of grey jeans. That's it?!

"Are you serious? That's all you could come up with? I can pick something better than that."

"Brie, you'll look stunning in anything, but the key is to look like you didn't try..." Awe! He's so sweet! "and like I didn't dress you." Well, he was sweet up until that point. I stuck my tounge out at him and went to get dressed. I came back minutes later to see him, going through the boxes in my closet. I don't really mind.

"Hey! I would like some privacy." I said, poking for some fun. I noticed that Seth was on the floor looking through one of the scrapbooks I made. Not just any scrapbook...the one I made of him and myself. I slid down beside him and watched the smile creep onto his face as he looked at the strip of pictures we had from a photo booth in the mall. The first two were messed up since all we did stick our tounges out and make goofy faces. The third, we were smiling, and Seth had his arm draped over my shoulder. In the last picture, our lips were pressed together, and you could see the smiles too. I laughed as we flipped the page to where Seth and I were at dinner with his parents. The night turned into a food fight after he 'missed' my mouth while feeding me cheesecake.

"Sorry about that night. It was an accident, I swear." I laughed at him as he smiled.

"Sure it was. The fork just magically landed on my shirt." I teased.

"Well, at least my parents loved you. Still do infact. Mom never stops asking about you. She's always wondering why we broke up..." We both fel silent. I looked up and met Seth's eyes. They were staring at me the same way they used to. Before I could say anything, my phone went off and the ringtone started to play for Troy. I could see Seth lower his head.

"Hey stupid." I greeted. I could hear his laughter from the other end.

"Hey, I'm at your door right now. I rung the doorbell like eight times..." Had he really? I never even heard it. "My cell is going off the second you get out here." I laughed and hung up the phone.

"That was Troy." Seth knew who was on the phone, but I didn't want things to be silent.

"You should go before he calls again." He told me nodding. I kissed his cheek before heading out.

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

Troy was driving us in his car to some location beyond my knowledge. We were jammin' out to random songs on the radio when he finally stopped. We were at some cliff, which made me nervous. Troy got out of the car and came to my side of the door. I took his hand when he offered it and he covered my eyes.

"Troy..." I started.

"Relax Gabi. I won't let anything happen to you." He whispered in my ear. I felt tingles shoot throughtout my body. He uncovered my eyes, and I saw the most beautiful view in the world. The lights were on all over the city. You could see it perfectly.

"Troy...this is-" I turned around and he was sitting at a table that was candle lit. I gasp and walked over and sat down. "How?" Was all I could ask.

"Well, I found this place after Cassie and I got into an argument. it helps me think and I wanted to be able to share it with you."

"This is amazing. Dinner too?" He nodded. "Thanks Troy." He smiled at me and I returned it without hesitation. We ate and chatted about random things like normal, and for one silent second, Troy told me something I never thought I'd hear.

"I'm gonna miss you, Gabi. I'm gonna miss you when you to go to South Carolina." He told me seriously. SEth was right...

"Troy, we both know that I have too. I'm gonna miss you too, but we both know that I have to. We'll still be friends, and I'll always come visit." I said as I held his hand in mine. Troy gave me a sad half smile before starting to clean up. I helped him as we put our things in the trash and got back into the car. We arrived at a dress boutique moments later.

"Alright, so basically I'm just here to tell you how hot you look." I slapped his arm playfully. I went over to the racks and began to search for something to wear. I went trhough two racks before I finally found something worthy of trying on. It was a royal blue dress. The thin spaghetti straps had a diamond where they connected with the rest of the dress. It was more of a party dress than wedding, but it did stand out. If I hadn't found this, I was going to try convincing Troy into letting me wear a little black dress to his wedding...the look on her face could be promising...

"Gabi, would you just try it on?" Troy growled. I laughed and huffed off to the dressing booth and closed the curtain.. I slid into the dress and zipped it up before stepping out and letting Troy see me.

"Tada!" I shouted dramatically. Troy was sitting on the seat with his head burried in a magazine. "Troy!" I yelled to gte his attention. He jumped and looked up at me. His mouth dropped, which was the exact reaction I was hoping for. He got up and walked toward me.

"You look stunning. Can I get a twirl?" I laughed and took his hand as his spun me around to see how it looked. "Gorgeous." He breathed. I giggled.

"Thanks, but it's a bit flashy for the wedding. All attetion should be on the bride." I said with a smile. Troy's attention has to be on me. Everyone else can stare at her...

"Well, why don't you go change and we'll pick another." I nodded and went back behind the curtain. I put my arm behind my head to reach the zipper, only I couldn't. It was like the dress changed from the time I put it on. I grunted and groaned until I finally accepted defeat.

"Troy, can you help me?" I called out to him. He came behind the curtain and stared.

"What's up?"

"I can't get this unzipped." I moaned. Troy laughed at me.

"Just like when we were younger. You used to run around with your head stuck in your shirt." He chuckled as I stuck my tounge out.

"Just help me!" I whined. He closed the curtain, as I turned around. Troy's hands grazed my bare back as his hand found the zipper. I shivered a bit and felt the dress loosen it's hold on me. The strap slid off my shoulder. I felt Troy's warm breath on my neck more. It was like he'd moved closer. Soon, his lips were on my shoulder as he placed open mouth kisses on it. I sighed in delight. It felt amazing. Wait! This is wrong. He can't be doing this! It's not logical! He turned me around to face him. My eyes stayed focused on his lips for several moments. Troy leaned down and pecked me softly on the lips. His lips were just as I remembered them. It was all too good to be true.

"Troy..." I said as I pulled away. I was going to tell him to stop, but he said something first.

"Don't ruin it, Gabi." He breathed, before capturing my lips in a heated and urgent kiss. No matter how wrong this was-is. It felt-feels so right. Troy pinned me against the wall and began to kiss my neck. There are a million thoughts swarming through my head. The angel and the devil are on my shoulder. I can stop this...

But do I want to?
