-Part 4: Cooking, Cooking, and More Cooking-
"Mm, something smells good," Gabriella said as she entered the dinning room in her pajamas, her fuzzy red slippers, and her hair up in a messy bun.
"That would be your dad's pilgrim hat shaped pancakes, fried eggs, sausage, bacon, and hot chocolate," Came the voice of her boyfriend as he walked out of the kitchen caring a tray full of glasses filled with hot chocolate.
"Hey, Wildcat!" Gabriella said as she leaned up to kiss him on the lips.
"Morning, Brie. How'd you sleep?"
"Alright." She told him with a smile as she sat down in the chair he pulled out for her, she smiled brighter when he sat down next to her. Three minutes later, her mom came and sat down across from her, her dad sat down at the left side head of the table (so beside her), Lucille across from Troy and beside Inez, and Jack at the other head of the table.
They smiled and began passing around plates full of food.
"So what are you guys doing after this?" Troy asked the Montezes.
"Cooking, cooking…and, let's see…um…more cooking," Gabriella told Troy with a smile as the others all laughed.
"Don't worry Brie, it's the same at my house, cooking, cooking and more cooking." Troy told her with a smile.
"Yeah, but you don't have to cook for your WHOLE BILLION family members, you only have to help your mom and dad with the pumpkin rolls which, I swear Troy Alexander Bolton, you eat mine and I'll kill you, that is a promise and threat." Gabriella told him.
"That is true, but then Zeke asked me to help him make a batch of surprise cookies from Sharpay," Troy told her with a smile as they started to help the parents clean off the table.
"Are we all still going to Thanksgiving Eve dinner at Sharpay's?" Gabriella asked the parents who all smiled and nodded their head.
"Yes, so that means dress fancy, but not like ball room/prom fancy, just maybe a summer dress or nice pants and shirt. And yes, Troy you can wear jeans, but NICE jeans and a NICE shirt." Lucille said with a smile.
"Alright, well, I guess I'll see you tonight at five right?" Gabriella asked Troy as they were saying goodbye at the door.
"Yeah, I love you Baby Brie," Troy told her before he leaned down to kiss her.
"I love you too, Wildcat," She told him after the kiss ended and then walked down the sidewalk and walked next door to his house with his parents.
"So you ready to get cooking baby girl?" Greg asked his daughter as they cleared off the table so they could put the food their to cool down and if they needed to to mix things on, if (even though not possible) the stainless steal wrap around countertops in the kitchen and appliances weren't enough.
"Yep. So your getting the turkey ready and I'm cutting up the veggies for it right?" Gabriella asked him with a smile.
"Here the veggies, mija. All washed and ready," Inez told her daughter with a smile as she watched her daughter and her husband walk into the kitchen and wash their hands while she started gathering stuff for her scalloped potatoes.
"Thanks, mommy," Gabriella said as she whipped off her hands with the towel before she walked over to the stainless steal toped island and began cutting up the vegetables, starting with the six fresh onions as her mom walked over to put on music on their Kaleidescape System.
"Baby girl could you get me the butter?" Greg asked his daughter with a smile. Gabriella nodded her head and stopped cutting the onions and moving to the stainless steal fridge, she grabbed the tub of butter, closed the door and handed it to her dad before she set back to work only having one more onion to finish.
After she finished, the last onion, she asked her dad, "Do you want me to put them in the pan already?"
"Yeah, just scatter along the bottom and make sure the corners have some extra in them," Greg told his daughter with a smile as he started to stuff their homemade stuffing in the massive turkey, after he rubbed the turkey skin generously all over with olive oil and after he sprinkled salt and pepper over it.
Inez set busy working beside her daughter on cutting the boiled eggs into halves and taking the yokes out to make deviled eggs as she glanced at Gabriella who was scattering the whole small bag of baby carrots on the bottom of the turkey pan.
"Do you want all ten things of garlic cut and put in their?" Gabriella asked her dad with a smile.
"Yep, make sure you scatter them really good because you really want to get the flavor," Greg told his daughter with a smile as he watched his wife run off to answer the cordless phone on the counter by the fridge.
"Who was that mommy?" Gabriella asked her mom with a smile.
"Just someone calling to confirm something from…uh…work." Inez said with a smile.
(5PM)
"Baby girl, you ready to go?" Greg asked his daughter as he came into her bedroom after he knocked on her bedroom doors.
"Yeah, how do I look?" Gabriella asked her dad as she did a small spin. She was dressed in a spaghetti strap, black, sequined dress, a pair of 3 inch satin rhinestone stiletto high heels that you slide on, black glass beaded necklace around her neck, a black set of teardrop chandelier earrings in hear ears, a black studded bracelet around her right wrist, a black leather rhinestone incrusted watch around her left wrist, and around her arm a black ribbed dolman cardigan, and a black sequined clutch in her left hand, all from Charlotte Russe, except for watch which was Chanel (CC). Her hair was pulled half back and straightened and her make up was lightly done.
"You look beautiful baby girl, stunning," Greg told her with a smile as he looped their arms together, and together they walked downstairs and to the front door where they met Inez who was dressed in a black tweed pencil skirt, a leopard sweater fashion top, a pair of black 2 inch stiletto heels, a black beaded necklace with matching earrings and bracelet, all from Charlotte Russe, and her hair was up in a high curly ponytail with light make up to match.
"You look pretty mommy," Gabriella told her mom with a smile as they all hopped into Greg's (warmed up) Hummer.
"Thanks mija, so do you." Inez told her daughter.
"Thanks mommy." Gabriella replied back.
-------
After eating dinner with everyone that arrived at the Evans' Thanksgiving Eve dinner, they all danced and talked with each other.
Gabriella smiled as she looked around the circle she stood part of, that was made of her friends. She smiled at Martha who was dressed in a rainbow colored dress from Charlotte Russe, and Ryan who looked cute in his grey polo from HCO and the pair of faded blue jeans, and blacked VANS, and who had his arms wrapped around Martha from behind. Her eyes then landed on Kelsi who was wrapped secure in Jason's arms as they both smiled, Kelsi looked beautiful in her yellow sequined dress and matching heels and jewelry from Charlotte Russe and with her hair straightened, and Jason looked cute also in the same outfit as Ryan except with an yellow polo. Gabriella's eyes then traveled to the next couple which was Taylor and Chad who were holding hands and talking excitingly, Taylor looked beautiful in her purple sequined dress from Charlotte Russe with the matching accessories and her hair up in a high curly ponytail, and Chad also looked cute in the same outfit as the other boys, except with a red polo. Her eyes then traveled to Sharpay and Zeke who looked absolutely adorable together, Sharpay who was dressed in the same dress, heels and jewelry she was in except in pink, her hair was also straightened and pulled half up, Zeke had on a the same outfit as the other boys except with a black polo on. Her eyes then finally looked up to land on her boyfriend who held her tight (and protectively) in his strong muscular arms, he looked absolutely hot in his navy blue polo from Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F), a pair of dark was A&F jeans, and a pair of navy blue VANS.
Gabriella knew what she would be grateful for like every time since she moved here, she would ALWAYS be grateful for her friends, but most of all her boyfriend, Troy Alexander Bolton, who she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
Well, here's another part. Sorry, its so short! But I need to help my mom with getting stuff started to Thanksgiving tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Love you all, especially Girly411. XOXO.
Peace. Love. && Happiness.
