Chapter 15
Up to my ears in wedding!
3 weeks ago it all seemed easy! Now it's just getting hard. Troy and I got the venue, now the guests are complaining it's too far. Then I called catering and they said they can't travel to eastern shore! I want my wedding on the beach and the only beach in Maryland is Chesapeake Bay!
"Brielle its ok, we can ask our moms and families if they can make food" troy said.
"TROY FOOD FOR EVERYONE IS A LOT OF FOOD!" I yelled.
"Brielle…" he said. I sighed. I shouldn't have yelled at him.
"I'm sorry troy, it's just so stressful" I said. I leaned my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.
"It'll be ok. You know you stress over everything you do and it always comes up perfect"
"I know…I know" I said. He laughed.
"Just take a breath and calm down"
I did what he said.
"Now let's call my mom and your mom and ask them if they could make some food for it, then we'll call all the guests and tell them your dream of a beach wedding"
"Ok" I said.
I called my mami first.
"Hola?" she answered.
"mami?" I said.
"Oh hi mija are you ok?" she asked.
"Yes mami…but I need a favor…" I said. Troy was on the phone with his mom. He put his thumbs up telling me she agreed.
"Could you and Mrs. Bolton cook the food for the wedding…the caterer said they couldn't do it and it's late to hire another one"
"Oh mija of course!" she said.
"Mami thank you so much!"
"Baby you're my daughter and I love you and I love troy I will do anything for this wedding"
"Mami you're the best"
"I know I am a mami. Now go and be an engaged couple and don't worry about food. I will call Lucy and we can meet up and plan the food" she said.
"Thanks again mami I love you"
"I love you to baby." She said and hung up.
"Ok food is done now we have to call all the guest"
"My mom is calling my uncles and aunts for us since I don't have the numbers." Troy said.
"Ok" I said.
3 hours later I was finally done! I haven't talked so much Spanish in my life!
"All done?" troy asked. I nodded.
Today is May 12 and tomorrow is May13 which means it's my 25th birthday. God I'm getting old!
"Tomorrow is no wedding plans" troy said.
"Why troy! I have so much stuff to get done!"
"Brielle we have a month to do everything. You can take a day or two and not plan anything"
"But troy"
"No Brielle. Tomorrow is your birthday and I want my fiancé to be stress free. We're going to your Mami's for the cookout with all our family and friends."
"Not all of them" I said.
"I know baby, you want your sisters there…" he said. Eva is on Lettie's side and isn't talking to me either now, and no won can find Daniela.
"This sucks! How can I be happy about my wedding coming up in only 2 months and my sisters aren't even talking to me?"
"They will support you on your day…there your sisters"
"I don't think so troy. They've never been so mad at me"
"Lettie is very pregnant…and it's harder for her to get caught up with her emotions. But I know she loves you"
I hugged him.
"I just want them back" I said.
"I know baby" he said rubbing my back.
The next day I woke up and didn't see troy. I got scared until I smelled burritos!
I ran out and saw troy cooking my favorite breakfast burritos
"I love you" I said. He laughed.
"Happy birthday baby" he said.
"Thanks" I said kissing him.
"ok so your going to eat your breakfast, then your going to get in a shower and get dressed and then you and I on the couch with your present" troy said. I smiled. This breakfast burrito is so good. I swear after all mami taught troy you'd think he was raised Mexican.
2 hours later I was on the couch waiting for my present. The dogs were on the floor sleeping and the cats were on there beds relaxing.
"Ok Brielle closes your eyes" he said. I closed them and he guided me to the guest room.
"Ok baby open" he said. I opened them and saw a puppy.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!" I said.
He laughed. "She wondered up to the shop a few days ago and she looked pretty beat up. I figured she was abused and I knew I had to take her or you would kill me"
"She's adorable" I said picking her up. She was a black and white long haired Chihuahua
"You like her?" he asked.
"Of course. Have you introduced her to the others?" I asked.
"Yea I brought her here everyday while you were out with the plans and let them play. She's a little shaky still"
She had some scars on her and she looked really skinny.
"Have you taken her to the vet to get her check out?" I asked.
"Taylor took her last week. The vet said she's been burned and beat up pretty bad…she's going to need some attention and special diet"
"Anything this little baby needs"
"She doesn't have a name yet..."
"Well we're just going to have to give her one" I said.
He laughed. I took her out to the others and they got excited. I could tell they loved her. Maya treated her like her baby.
"What should we name her?" I asked.
"Well I was actually thinking of one. How about shoe killer!" troy said. I laughed.
"I'm guessing she chewed a shoe or two…" I said.
"Yea my old converses…"
"The ones you've had since we started going out?"
"Yea those!"
I laughed. "Good"
"Not funny Brielle" he said. I smiled.
I could tell troy loved her. He looked so proud of himself.
"She's also potty trained already and she sleeps really well"
"Where did you keep her?" I asked.
"The shop…"
"Awww the poor baby was there all alone"
"No Chad had to stay there a few nights when Taylor was pissed and john stayed late for awhile."
"Awww"
"Yea she's like our little mascot. The customers love her"
"Awww" I said.
"Yea so I figured I'd bring her there with me…maybe even the others I know they hate being home all day"
"That sounds great" I said.
"So what are we gonna name her?"
"She looks like a Nelly"
"Well Nelly it is."
I smiled at him. "You wanna take them with us today?" troy guessed. I nodded.
Even Minnie seemed to like her…Minnie doesn't like anyone…well she loves me.
We got them ready to go. The cats stay here since jerry and John are allergic and call them sneeze attackers.
"You know…it's getting kind of small with all those animals in the apartment" troy said on the car ride.
"Yea it is" I said. I knew where he was getting at.
"We should start looking…" he said.
"Yea…"
"Yea…I mean we're getting married we want to start a family, I think it will be good"
"I do too" I said. He smiled.
"Let me guess troy…you already started looking"
"No…I already bought one!" he said. My eyes got huge.
"That's your second birthday present. It's already paid for full and furnished. All we have to do is put all of our prize possessions in it"
"How…"
"Your mom helped out"
"But when"
"It's been planned for a few months now"
"But where"
"Here" he said. We were in front of a big Victorian house.
"How did we afford this" I said.
"Well…we didn't have to pay anything for it. All I had to do was talk to my uncle"
"What?" I asked.
"It was my grandparents…they inherited from my grandmother's grandfather…and they gave it to me when they passed away."
"It's ours?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yep" he said. I sat there and stared at it. It's a three story with a wrap around porch, it was beautiful.
"Troy" I said and kissed him.
"C'mon lets go check it out"
I smiled bigger and jumped out of the car. Troy followed and he unlocked the door the door of our new house.
I walked in and gasped. You walked in the entry way and it was bright and was beautiful. We walked in and the family room was huge.
"Your mom helped me pick out the furniture…" he said. Then we walked to the kitchen.
"It's all updated…" he said. It had a huge refrigerator, and two ovens and a flat top stove…oh I am so going to learn how to cook!
He led me to the basement.
"I figured this could be our everything room…you know. There's also another room down here that you can work on your lines and other business…" he said. It was huge. Troy had a couch and a big screen with Xbox already hooked up. We walked back upstairs and went up to the next level.
"This is our room" he said. He had a big bed in it I went straight to the closet. It was a full walk in that was surrounded with racks I could hang my clothes on.
"All I ask for is on little area of this closet for my clothes" he said. I laughed.
"Troy you are the best" I said. I jumped in his arms. He was holding me up by my butt. We had a make out session when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he said. I jumped down and went around the house some more. It has 6 rooms, and three bathrooms. It was so perfect.
"Your mom said if we don't get there like now then I'm in trouble" he said.
"Oh ok…" I said.
"Brielle we can move tomorrow"
"Ok" I sighed.
He laughed. We got to the house and then I remembered my sisters aren't there. I got a sudden rush of hurt and guilt.
"Ok Brielle, I want you to know you have 3 more birthday surprises in there…" he said.
"What are they?"
"You'll see" he said getting out of the car. I smiled and got out too. When we got to the back of the house I knew what or I should say who my 3 surprises were.
"GABI!!!!" Lana yelled.
"LANA!!!!" I yelled. Then I saw Daniela and Angie behind her running. Lana got here and jumped in my arms.
"I've missed you so so so so so so so so so much! I need you to dye my hair the stylist effed it up! Oh my gods look at you! I can't believe you're engaged! You look so good! Oh my god I miss you!!" Lana said in all one breath.
"Lana I've missed you too. And I can tell what the hell did she do to your roots!" I said.
"I know right! Oh yea I forgot. Happy birthday!" she said and hugged me again. Angie was next.
"I can't believe how different you look" she said hugging me.
"Hey Ang" I said.
"GABI!!" Daniela squealed. I laughed and hugged her.
"Where's your football team?" I asked.
"Oh I left them at home. It was too much work to bring them all here" she said. I laughed and hugged her.
"I can't believe you guys are here!" I said.
"All thanks to prince charming there" Angie said.
"Yea he is perfect. Lana where's my god baby?" I asked. She had her son Parker he's almost one now.
"Oh it's just me. He's going to be here when I come back for the wedding" she said.
"How long are you guys staying?" I asked.
"Well Angie has this big meeting with the pussycat dolls, and I have to get back with parker, and Danni has a new job so we can only stay for today and tomorrow and we're leaving Sunday" she said. I got sad.
"Well we'll be back in a few months then we're going to go to New York for a week together. So it's ok" Angie said.
"I know…I just miss you guys" I said.
"MIJA!" mami yelled.
"Your mom is so nice Gabi" Danni said. I smiled.
"I know"
We walked to the others and sat down. Troy and I used a lounge chair and the others sat on the normal patio chairs.
"Oh my mija" mami kissed me.
'I love you too mami" I said.
"Ok here's your present from me" handing me a box. I opened and it was a bran new coffee maker.
"Mami thanks" I said.
"Troy said your guys old one broke and you've been mean without your coffee" she said. I laughed.
"Ok here sissy" Jayden said. It was a small box and I opened it and it said nana.
"awww jay" I said hugging him.
"What's nana mean?" Angie asked.
"I've called her nana since I was little"
"Oh is he the baby you told us about!" Lana said.
"Mhm my little jay" I said.
John gave me a new sketch book and Jerry gave me an American express gift card. Just like basically everyone else did.
"Ok well Gabi we all got you a gift together" Lana said.
"Yea it's really special" Danni said.
They handed me a big rectangular box.
I opened it and saw our first group promo picture.
"Guys!" I said. I looked so younger.
"OH MY GOD GABRIELLA!" john yelled covering his eyes. I was in jean shorts and a shirt that stopped right under my boobs and it was a low v-neck that you could see my bra a little bit and I had cow girl boots on.
We all laughed. "Where's that outfit now?" troy whispered in my ear making me blush.
"Oh trust me Gabi isn't so innocent!" Lana said.
"Lana shut up! My mother and older brothers are here!" I said.
"Geez" Lana said. Laughed
The night was fun but I still wanted my sisters there.
"Oh while you guys are here we should measure you guys for the dresses" Sharpay said.
"Nah don't worry about it Shar I already got there measurements" I said.
"Oh..Ok" Sharpay said. She and Danni really hit it off and Mami loved Angie…and everyone loved Lana. Especially my brothers.
"You know Lana, Juliet really misses her husband" I said when Juliet came up to Lana.
"Awww baby Chico misses you too" she said picking her up.
"I can't believe you troy got her another dog!" Angie said. Troy laughed.
"I couldn't not take her home!" he said.
"Even when Gabriella was a little girl she always brought the shelter home. Lizards, frogs, bunnies, dogs, cats"
"Jayden!" john said.
"Hey!" Jayden said. We all laughed. I still had hat nagging feeling at me that my sisters aren't here. That they all hate me.
"Where are you guys staying?" I asked the girls when we were leaving.
"Oh we're staying at the Hilton troy showed us. He said we'd be more comfortable there then your apartment." Angie said.
"I'll take them" john said. John was staring hard at Lana.
"Ok" Lana smiled. Whoa, whoa whoa!!! Nooo!!!! Lana is taken!! No!
I looked over at Angie and Danni they all gave me the same look.
"Bye Gabi we'll see you tomorrow" Lana said already hopping into the car. I hugged Angie and Danni and told them to keep an eye on her. Troy and I got in his truck with the dogs.
The next day we woke up.
"Hey" troy was already awake.
"Hi" I said.
"so today you and the girls are going to pack up all of the things you want in the new house and then you guys will go shopping and then we will officially be moved into our new house" troy said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yep" he said. I kissed him. The dogs were on top of our legs and Juliet and Nelly were between troy and me. we woke them all up and they jumped down.
We got ready and waited for the others to call and say they're ready to come over so troy can go and pick them up. I started to pack everything up in the kitchen. Really since there was already everything in the new house we don't need to take that much.
So the kitchen I mainly packed up the food and decorations on the wall. Then I moved to the living room. I got all the pictures of troy and me and our families, and the movies and books. And then the rest of our little things in there. Then it was our bathroom and packed everything in there. By the time I got to our room troy left to get the girls. I was in my closet getting everything out when I heard a knock on the door.
"Lana?" I said.
"Heyy gab" she said. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Troy just left to pick you guys up…" I said.
"Oh…well I uh didn't go to the hotel last night" she said biting her lip.
"Lana no!" I said.
"We didn't do the nasty, we just went out, he showed me around and it was nice"
"What about Tristan and Parker!" I said.
"I love Parker to death and I can't wait to get back to him. But Tristan and I aren't really together anymore…it's like we're just around each other for Parker"
"Lanny why didn't you tell me" I said.
"I don't know…the others don't know ether it's just happened I guess I don't even know how. He's barely around anymore…I left Parker with my mom because I didn't think he was gonna stay"
"Wow…" I said. I hugged her.
"Your brother is sweet Gabi. He reminded me that what Tristan does isn't right…that Parker and I deserve better"
"But he's my brother!" I said. I led her to the room.
"I know but he's sweet"
"So like are you guys gonna date?" I asked.
"I don't know…we'll see where everything goes" she said.
"EW!" I said. I can't believe Lana and my brother! That's just….ew!!
Troy came in a few minutes later with the others.
"Lana" Angie said.
"Sorry guys I just uh went out with John…"
"Why" Danni said.
She told them the same story she told me.
"I can't believe you didn't say anything about Tristan and you!" Danni said.
"It hasn't been going on that long…I mean just a few months…"
"After all the 4 way calls we've had and you still didn't tell us" I said. Troy got the hint and went out to get more boxes…
"I'm sorry guys I just…you guys were going on with your lives and I was with mine…"
"You still should've told us" Angie said.
"Sorry" Lana said. We hugged for a few minutes then let go laughing.
"C'mon gab we need to get you in your new house!" Danni said.
