Trust and Love
Chapter 8: The Basketball Plan
"Why tonight?" Troy asked.
"Is it bad if it's tonight?" Troy didn't answer. "Just do your charms and whatever."
"I'm not even with terms with your Mom!" Troy exclaimed helplessly.
"What? What do you mean?" Alex asked in confusion.
"I mean…we're not even friends like that and remember she doesn't even trust me."
"Remember? Remember? I told her to TRUST you."
"But that's a different situation, Alex!" Troy said. "That was regarding you; to TRUST me on YOU not on her love or whatever."
"Blah! That's the same thing…TRUST." Alex replied as he pulled Troy up and pushed him upstairs.
"What?" said Troy helplessly. I'm really in trouble right now.
"Now, let's get you dressed…something for a date!" Alex exclaimed as he pushed Troy inside his room and then he ran down to the kitchen.
"Hey Chef Andre?"
"Yes Alex?" Chef Andre looked at Alex and smiled.
"Can you cook up something for a date?" Alex asked as he looked in the fridge.
"Sure but may I ask why?"
"Well, I'm setting up a date for my Mom and Troy." This made Chef Andre chuckle.
"Ok then!" Chef Andre patted Alex's head before he went back to Troy's room.

Gabriella massaged her neck lightly and closed her eyes. "Ughh. What's next?" She said as she looked at the surgery board.
"You don't have any more surgery, Dr. Montez." Said a nurse who was organizing the surgery board.
"Huh?"
"It's already midnight, Doctor."
"It is? Wow. Time flies so fast when you're inside the O.R. for 5 hours." Gabriella smiled and looked at the nurse. "Anyway, time to check my patients before I head home. Thanks Talia." Gabriella took the patient charts and started to check her patients.

"Alex?" Troy called.
"What?"
"Is it really necessary to wear this kind of clothes?" Troy said as he went out of his walk-in-closet. "I mean look at me!"
"You're right. That's just too formal." Alex ran inside Troy's walk-in-closet and rummaged through his clothes. "You know what? I give up!" He walked out and flopped down at Troy's bed. "Just wear something you usually wear on a date." Alex closed his eyes then.
Troy walked back in and after a few minutes, he walked out. "Hey Alex!" Alex opened his eyes and looked at Troy.
"Wow! You look awesome." Alex said as he walked to Troy and circled him.
"See? I dress better than you." Troy chuckled as he teased him.
"Well, whatever. At least I know that you so into this thing!" Alex laughed.
Troy tickled Alex and the two of them went of laughing together and fooling around. They were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Yes? Come in." Troy said.
"Mr. Bolton, there's someone at the door." Said the maid.
The two men looked at each other with eyes wide open.
-Trust and Love chapter 8-
"Last patient to check tonight is…Mr. John Dawson." Gabriella said to herself as she walked on her way to the next room.
Gabriella got in but was still looking at the chart of Mr. Dawson. "Ok, Mr. Dawson, I'm here to check on how you're doing." She proceeded with checking all his vitals and nodded. "So, Mr. Dawson is doing fine." And as soon as Gabriella looked up at Mr. Dawson and the two female visitors, she knew. "Taylor?"
The woman that Gabriella called Taylor turned around. "Gabriella?"
"Do you guys know each other?" asked the other woman next to Mr. Dawson.
"Shannon, its Gabriella. Gabriella Montez." Taylor gave out her point to the other woman who was addressed as Shannon.
"Oh my god. Gabriella, we haven't seen you for so long. Are you John's doctor?" asked Shannon.
"Yes. I am."
"That's great! Come and sit here we have to catch up on things." Shannon, Taylor's younger sister said.
"I can't. I have to pick my son at—" Gabriella got interrupted.
"A son? You already have a son? Is that Bolton's? Oh my god! The more that we have to chitchat, girl." Shannon laughed but Taylor noticed that Gabriella was uncomfortable.
"Shannon, maybe we can talk with Gabriella next time. She might be tired from work." Taylor said.
"You really do have a point there. Well, bye anyway Gabs. See you soon." Shannon said as she bid her farewell.
Taylor followed Gabriella out of the room. "Hey Tay, I'm sorry." She turned around to look at her best friend in high school. Taylor McKessie was beside Gabriella throughout high school. They were like the girl version of Troy and Chad. Taylor wasn't also aware of the reason why Gabriella suddenly left Albuquerque. Taylor found no reason for her to go. She was happy there; with her group of friends, her mom, and with Troy. She was just as confused as everybody that Gabriella left. "I…I…I can't explain everything to you right now but—"
"It's ok, Gabriella. I've got a lot of time to listen to you. After all, we're friends…best friends even." Taylor smiled. "Let's just exchange numbers so I know where I can find you, ok?"
Gabriella nodded and they exchanged phone numbers. "Thanks for being understanding. It really helps with what I'm dealing right now but I promise that next time, I will tell you everything that happened."
"You're welcome. Anyway, I better go back in now. See you soon. Bye, Sweetie." Taylor said as she peeped out of the room.
"Bye Tay." With that, Gabriella continued to walk through the halls of the hospital and just reached her stop. Her office. She grabbed her things and changed into her casual clothes and then she headed off.
-Trust and Love chapter 8-
"SHE'S HERE!" Both men shouted. Troy stood up straightly and fixed himself.
"Please tell the others to prepare the dining table for a date." Alex said to the maid.
"Yes, Alex."
"Thank you." Alex smiled as the maid went out. "Are you ready, Troy?"
"Damn. Why am I nervous? It's like my first time dating her." Troy mumbled.
"Huh? Did you say something, man?" Alex asked.
"No! I just said that we better get going."
"Oh yeah, you're right. Let's go! Go ahead, boss." Troy and Alex walked towards the door, and as soon as Troy got out of the room, Alex closed the door and locked it.
"Hey!" Troy turned around to see the door closed and he tried to open it but it was no use. He reached down in both of his pockets to get the key but it was not with him. "Damn. I forgot. I'm wearing a different pair of pants. The key's inside." Whispered Troy. Smart kid. Troy chuckled.
"You're on your own Troy! Good luck!" Alex exclaimed from the other side.
"Yeah, I need a lot of 'em." Whispered Troy to himself as he proceeded down to the main door.
Why am I freaking out? Well, it's Gabriella after all but I really think I'm freaking out because I might get in trouble for this date set up thing. She might get the impression that I used Alex. Damn it. I just hope this plan works because if not, I'm going back to zero in our friendship rate. Oh wait, we weren't friends from the beginning that we saw each other again…for her that is. At least she trusts me…with Alex. Damn. I gotta get a hold of myself or this plan will go 'ka-boom!' and will end differently than we imagined. Troy took a deep breath and put his hand on the door knob. Here goes nothing. He opened the door and there revealed Gabriella Anne Montez.
"Hey Troy." Gabriella greeted Troy with a smile.
"Hey Gabriella." Ok, so I should start lightly like doing things a bit her way. First, call her Gabriella not Gabi, which she doesn't prefer ME calling her by that nickname. "Come in." Troy opened the door ad welcomed Gabriella.
"So, where's Alex?" Gabriella asked.
"He's upstairs in my room and by the way, he locked the door."
"What?" Gabriella said. "What is that kid up to now?"
"He locked me out! If you wanna go and talk to him, be my guest." Troy said as he gestured Gabriella to the direction of his room.
"That kid is gonna get it." Gabriella went up as she was directed by Troy to which room. Finally, Gabriella reached Troy's room and she knocked three times. Alex knew the drill that when Gabriella knocked three times, it means that joke's over. "Alex, open the door." Why won't he open the door? What's up? Wait, wait. I… "I don't hear anything, Troy." Troy looked at her with a questioned look.
"He's asleep. He's never this quiet unless he's asleep. He really got tired, huh?" Gabriella smiled and looked at Troy.
"Well, we played basketball, then ate a lot, next would be slacking a bit, then wrestling, and we goofed around." Troy replied.
"Wow, that sounds really tiring but at least he had fun."
"Hey, wanna have a midnight snack or something like that?" asked Troy.
"Sure. What 24-hour shop do you have in mind?" asked Gabriella.
"Troy Bolton's dining area." Troy smiled.
"Sounds pretty near. Let's get going." Gabriella giggled.
"Right this way, Ma'am." Troy said as he helped Gabriella sit on her chair. He then went to sit on his chair which was opposite Gabriella's. Food came out as soon as Troy sat down and Gabriella's eyes lit up when she saw that it was her favorite. She smiled happily as she looked at Troy and then, both of them started eating.
Time passed by and in every bit of that time, they got closer to each other wherein, they were already sitting beside each other. They shared a lot of laughs, stories, and liquors through their 'date'. Suddenly, one maid came out with the dessert. It was a banana split, also one of Gabriella's favorites. They drank the last glass of liquor they had.
"Your favorite, right?" Gabriella nodded. "Here." Troy took a spoon and smiled as he fed Gabriella with ice cream.
"Delicious!" Gabriella smiled and also fed Troy.
Their eating continued and so did their chitchats and laughter. The two looked happy as they could ever be. Troy smiled to himself just looking and realizing how comfortable they were with each other at the time being.
"Hey Gabi?"
"Yeah Troy?" Gabriella smiled.
"Do you know the stick-O game?" asked Troy.
"Nope. What's that?"
"Well, it's like this, you see that pretzel chocolate covered stick on the banana split?" Gabriella nodded and Troy took it. "You bite on this end and I bite on the other end then we start eating it until nothing is left. Whoever stops or cracks the pretzel stick loses. You up for it?" asked Troy.
"What do I get when I win?"
"It's up to you, Gabi." Troy smiled and bit his end as Gabriella also bit her end of the pretzel. "Game." Mumbled Troy who started eating the pretzel.
As each of them took a bite off the pretzel, their faces got closer to each other. By now, they were an inch away from each other. Both of them could feel each other's breath. Troy looked at Gabriella's lips and so did she. Their atmosphere got heated as they took the last bite and kissed each other.
Neither of them broke the kiss. They started to make out and then both stood up. Troy pushed Gabriella to the edge of the table, causing her to sit on the table. Troy pressed his body to Gabriella's. He then put his hands inside her shirt and started to caress her gently.
Gabriella like what he did. She wrapped her legs around his waist and broke their kiss. Troy then channeled from her lips to her neck. "Troy…" moaned Gabriella. "room…room…" Troy understood and carried Gabriella and went back to kiss her. They made their way to the open guest room without breaking their kiss.
Just as Troy got in, he kicked the door close and laid Gabriella on the bed. He locked Gabriella between his two strong and muscular arms. He looked at her and then kissed her gently. Both pairs of hands were now traveling around each other's body. The gentle kiss became more passionate as Troy deepened it.
Through their heated make out, Troy slowly took off Gabriella shirt and started kissing her neck and up to her chest. Gabriella moaned in delight.
Now, it was Gabriella's turn. She gripped on Troy's collar ad brought his eager lips to her's. Her fingers went down to the buttons of Troy's shirt and she started unbuttoning it. She was now almost at the last button when Troy went to nip on her neck and chest again. With no more patience to wait, she forced open Troy's shirt and took it off as Troy unclipped her bra and threw it.
Troy was now feeling so much passion running through his entire body. He couldn't hold on anymore longer. He'd been waiting for the day that he would see Gabriella again and hug her and feel her. This is the moment that he has been waiting for ever since he last saw her.
He unbuttoned Gabriella's pants and took it off with her underwear. Gabriella brought her hands to his chest, caressing it. Her hands got hold of his belt buckle then her hand lingered on Troy's erection just outside his pants; this made Troy groan. Gabriella's hand teased Troy more.
"Gabi, no more teasing please." Troy said as he groaned again. Gabriella giggled and pulled Troy to kiss him.
Her hands went back to his belt buckle but this time, she unbuckled it and unbuttoned his pants. She threw both of his pants and boxers away. Both were now nude and just caressing each other. The want that Troy and Gabriella felt was over the top. With no more wait, Troy led his manhood to its desired place to be. He thrust in and out and made him and Gabriella feel good. For the next 4 hours, Troy and Gabriella had only been making love, moaning, groaning and calling out each other's names.
Troy flopped back on the bed. "That was amazing." Said Troy.
"You still got it, Troy." Gabriella yawned and started to fade to sleep. "..still got it."
The clock read 5:30am. Troy looked over to Gabriella to see her asleep. He smiled and kissed her on the lips. "I love you, Gabriella." Whispered Troy as he covered themselves with a blanket and went to sleep.

Gabriella suddenly sat up as she heard her phone saying "Nurse Heather" again and again. It was the hospital nurse that was calling her. She looked at the time and read 7:30am.
"Oh my god! It's 7:30!" Gabriella exclaimed. She didn't bother to look at Troy or anything else. All she minded was her phone and where her clothes were.
"Hello?" Gabriella answered the call as she stood up from the bed to open the curtains and went to pick up her underwear where she found at the floor and her bra hooked on the door knob.
"Dr. Montez? Where are you? You're schedule is packed today and it starts with an 8 o'clock surgery." Nurse Heather was Gabriella trusty nurse. She would know if there was something wrong because Gabriella always showed for work 2 hours before her surgeries. She knew Dr. Montez well.
Troy woke up and groaned as the sunshine hit his eyes. "What time is it?" He looked at the watch and looked at Gabriella who was now trying to wear her skinny jeans and at the same time talking on the phone. "Let me help you with that." Troy said as he offered Gabriella help to wear her pants.
"I don't need your help and…stay in that bed! Do not stand up!" Gabriella whispered.
"Did you say something, Dr. Montez?" asked Nurse Heather as she heard Gabriella murmur something.
"Nope, nothing. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Please buy me coffee, Heather." Gabriella pleaded and Heather replied with a yes. "Thanks Heather. I owe you one. Bye." Gabriella found her shirt and wore it. She looked at Troy who was staring at her the whole time.
"I have work and I have to go. Take care of my son." Gabriella commanded as if she was the boss of Troy. She walked to the door and put her hand on the knob but before she could turn it to open it, Troy spoke up.
"Don't leave yet. Uhmm…have breakfast first or something." Troy said.
"No. I am not spending anymore time here. You…put some boxers on before Alex sees you! And this...THIS? We will discuss this matter later. Right now, I am gonna be late!" Gabriella slightly slammed the door and Troy huffed.
"Where do we go from here?" Troy closed his eyes for a few seconds then straightly stood up.
-Trust and Love chapter 8-
Will Gabriella hate Troy? Or will they pick up where they left off?
I am so sorry everybody about the sexual intercourse scene because I am not good at writing those kinds of things. I don't even know what to write. The only things I write are the ones that I see on television or read on books or on the internet. I am very sorry for the lack of sexuality excitement in it but I do hope that you like chapter 8. More to come.
Xoxo,
