Hey guys.
Sorry my update didn't come on Thanksgiving like I planned (-.-) Time Warner Cable has been dropping my internet connection and I finally got it fixed on Sunday. Everyone get VERIZON FIOS, my family is switching VERY soon.
Enjoy. :)
"Hello?"
Sharpay looked up from the magazine and popped the bubble at her lips. Before her was a tall dark skinned male, about Troy's age or older. He wore a deep blue jacket and white turtle neck and baggy jeans over worn Tims. He had a soft smile and his hair was slightly curled, hinting that his ancestry was mixed.
"Hi, I'm hear for my interview with Troy Bolton for the secretary job?" he said softly.
She bit her lip, his voice was like a soft murmur, something she love to hear again.
"Oh yeah? What's your name?" she picked up a clipboard from her drawer and handed him the very pen she had chewed on before.
"I'm Zeke Baylor." he said while writing his information on the page. He smiled up at her again and she watched him think about what he wrote and then slowly turn away from her to take a seat in the waiting area.
"So where did you work before Zeke?" she purred. She got up from her seat and sat next to him.
"Umm, the nursing home in Wakefield for about 2 months so I could pay for textbooks for school. I'm looking to get into the medical field." he answered without looking up.
"Do you know Gabriella Montez?" she perked up.
"I met her once but I work with the people who were ill in the nursing home, she worked with people only residing there. That's all the way on the other side of the building."
"Oh, did you work there with a girlfriend?"
"No, I don't have one actually." he finally looked up and handed her the clipboard. "What's your name?"
"I'm Sharpay." she grinned and took the clipboard. She stood and swayed her hips provocatively as she walked to the front desk. She bent over and put the clipboard on the counter but when she turned around she found his face in his iPhone. Scowling, she took her seat next to him again.
"How long are you planning on working here?" she smiled?
"For a while, untiI get an internship at least." he put his phone back in his pocket and looked into her face. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
Sharpay shrugged, "I don't think so. I would have remembered you."
Zeke nodded, still staring, and then looked up when he heard the door swing open. He held a little baby in his arms and raised an eyebrow at Sharpay then smirked and turned to the young mother behind him. She took the baby carefully and then allowed her husband to pass by and lean against the counter to write a check. Sharpay hurried behind the desk and smiled then took it from him.
"What did you get done?" she asked, looking to type up and print a receipt.
Troy nodded to Zeke, who stood quickly and followed him to his office.
"Zeke Baylor?" Troy said taking a seat in his chair.
"Yes, sir." he said taking a seat.
"Oh, you're not another one of those." Troy chuckled. Zeke raised an eyebrow and Troy leaned forward.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"My name is Troy." Troy chuckled. He picked up Zeke's application, "You work at the Wakefield nursing home?"
Zeke nodded with a smile, "Yes."
"You have had experience with secretary work since you were fifteen and you know how to work a computer, how many words can you type an hour?" Troy inquired.
"I'm not exactly sure sir, Troy I mean." Zeke sat back in his seat.
Troy laughed, "Look I don't know how you do this interview crap, I just started this private practice about 3 weeks ago. My cousin looked you up last week, you have no criminal records and you're healthy. That's all that matters. It says here you have never been terminated and your last boss said you're hardworking." Troy paused, looked around, and then chuckled again.
"You seem cool, so you got the job. Don't tell anyone I'm this unprofessional, go it?" Troy smiled and held out his hand.
Zeke grinned and chook it, "You got a deal, Troy."
"Can you start next week Monday?"
"Yeah." Zeke nodded, "Monday's great."
Troy ran up the stairs of the old shabby apartment building and smiled to himself. He finally stopped in front of door 2E and knocked.
"Troy, is that you?" Another voice called, confused he scrunched his eyebrows, "Yeah."
The door opened about a second later and a dark skinned girl with a short bob smiled, "I'm Taylor, come in."
He smiled and stepped inside Gabriella's apartment and looked around. It was comfortable and simple with boxes still on the corner of the living room proving that she had just moved into the apartment. Posters on the walls of famous dancers and ballet shoes, showed what her favorite hobby was. She even had a comfy looking cashmere couch that he wanted to run his hand over. Taylor's laugh led Troy to look up to see Gabriella came out of her room in impressive heels that made her tilt to the side and tumble.
He gave her a knowing look then chuckled, "Go take those off."
She rolled her eyes and unstrapped them, kicked them to the side, then went back to her room where she grabbed her sneakers by the door. She pulled them on and walked to him with a small embarrassed smile. He kissed her on the corner of the mouth and then a goofy smirk settled on his face, "What were you thinking?"
"I don't know." She kissed his cheek and grabbed his hand before leading him out, "Bye Taylor!"
"Have fun, I'll be leaving in a bit!" Taylor called after them. She giggled and shook her head.
Troy led her to the Audi S6 he bought yesterday, "Impressed?"
"Very." she said with wide eyes. She got in on the other side and ran her hand down the seats.
"I'm still paying for it so don't spill anything on the seats." He smiled.
Gabriella giggled, "Something tells me you paid off the last of your bills today." she said knowingly.
Troy started the car and nodded. "Yeah. And I get my check next week for helping with the surgery today."
"Oh wow, and how did the interview with the boss's daughter go?" she said with a smile.
Troy shrugged, "She didn't show. But I'll tell you who did show." He turned to Gabriella with complete bewilderment in his eyes, "Zeke Baylor, for the secretary position, and Sharpay's soul mate."
Gabriella laughed. "Why do you say that?"
"They were looking into each others eyes when I entered the room." he laughed also, "It was so creepy."
Gabriella punched his arm and shook her head, "That's cute. Did he get the job at least?"
"Yeah, I thought he was cool so I told him don't worry about all the proper stuff, he had too much experience for me to throw away because I was afraid for Sharpay." Troy turned a sharp corner and Gabriella swung into car door.
"Troy!" she giggled.
He grinned, "Sorry, I'm not very cautious with this kind of stuff."
"You mean driving?"
"Yeah, driving." Troy snickered.
Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Where are we going?"
"Some open villa over by Jones beach, they have great seafood." He turned to her for a quick second, "And an arcade."
She giggled, "We're going to an amusement park?"
"Sort of." he finally got on the highway and rolled down all the windows. The wind blew Gabriella's hair around, the very hair that took her over two hours to fix.
"Troy! My hair!" she screeched.
Troy laughed and drove faster, weaving in between cars and speeding down the middle lane then going neck to neck with a huge Stop & Shop supply truck.
She closed her eyes and pushed herself back into her chair then she bit down on her lip to keep from screaming. Finally as she realized the car was slowing down, she opened one eye at a time and giggled at Troy's red cheeks and ears.
Troy came to a stop at a stop sign and watched the traffic flow as he grinned widely. "Are you alive?"
"Yeah, surprisingly." she said hoarsely. She pulled down the visor and looked at herself in the mirror and scowled. "Troy, my hair looks insane."
"Brie, relax, it looks sexy." he reassured.
Her cheeks heated and she ran her hand through the messy curls on her head. Troy drove for the exit towards the bridge and looked at her with a smug smile, "Ready?"
"Oh God."
After surviving the rest of the drive, Troy's car finally came to a stop. He hopped out and fixed his jeans before running a hand through his hair and stretching.
He came around the other side and grabbed Gabriella's hand and helped her out of the car. She reached her other hand up cautiously to her hair. He touched it also and grinned, "I like it messy."
She smiled and ran ahead, "I want cotton candy."
"After dinner, the jumbo shrimp is to die for."
As they walked along the boardwalk, arms swinging between them, and Gabriella with her large puff of cotton candy, they viewed the starless night sky over the ocean quietly.
Troy suddenly stopped her and let the other couples pass them before pushing her up against the banister and placing a heated kiss on her lips. Gabriella froze for a moment, used to his soft, timid kisses but then immediately returned it. When she pulled away quickly, his eyes remained closed.
"What's wrong?" he whispered.
"Be my boyfriend?" Gabriella said hurriedly.
"No." Troy said shortly, he opened his eyes and bit his lip nervously. Her heart sank and she looked to turn away.
He held her by her hips in place and placed a peck on the corner of her mouth, "Be my girlfriend?"
"You're an asshole." she said with a shake of her head. He smiled and kissed her again but much softer than before. Gabriella broke the kiss again.
"Come to my place tonight, I don't want to be alone."
"Whatever you want." he said quickly and kissed her again.
Gabriella smiled into the kiss again but instead wrapped her arms around his neck, the cotton candy tickling the skin there.
He broke the kiss next and chuckled, "You ready to go home?"
"Yeah, it's getting cold. I hate spring." she said with a sigh. Troy shook his head and took her by the hand again.
The two bodies fell onto the bed knocking off the dance slippers and clothes that were spread out across the sheets. They undressed each other quickly until they were left in nothing but underclothes and Troy in his "husband trainer" (as he grew up hearing, wife beater was never put in his vocabulary).
"Show me what to do." he said softly.
She nervously brought his hand up to her chest and kissed him softly, "Anything you do will be great."
Troy studied her face for a minute before pulling her to his chest to unhook her bra. Kissing from her chin down, he removed it slowly then made quick eye contact with her before staring down at her chest. Then he suddenly caressed her breasts, as if he was afraid to do much else.
That's when she knew she had to take charge.
She brought Troy's face to hers in a heated kiss before bringing the bottom of his tank up hurriedly and over his head. Holding his neck in her hands she lowered her head to kiss the span of his neck and chest and finally brought her lips to each of his nipples. When his breath quickened she reached up to kiss his lips softly. She remembered what it was like her first time.
He suddenly held her to his chest and sucked on her neck, on a sensitive place that she had never knew she had. He kissed down her body, licking and swirling each nipple with his tongue before heading to her panty line and her thighs. He pulled her hips onto his lap and pulled her up before losing his hand in her hair to bring her into a passionate kiss that gave them both butterflies.
Feeling the hardness in his boxers, she rocked against him softly, trying to feel her skin against his, a preview of what was to come that night.
Then the shrill ring of Chris Brown's voice echoed into the room.
"Fuck." Troy cursed under his breath.
"Ignore it." she told him, kissing down his neck then back up the other side. She nibbled on his ear and a harsh sigh escaped his lips.
"I can't, that's my mom's ringtone." Troy said, laying her down he rolled over and pulled his phone from his jacket pocket.
"Mom?"
Gabriella watched his face contort as he listened avidly, the erection deflating in his underwear as he swung his legs over the side of the bed to sit up straight.
"What? No, all his medication is at my apartment, you're not taking him when he's dismissed! You don't even know how to take care of him!" Troy stood and left the room, Gabriella laid back and listened to him scream into the phone from outside her bedroom door.
"What the hell..." she sighed.
