Trust and Love

Chapter 9: Slowly and Surely

Troy sat on the bar-stool-like-chair in the kitchen while drinking his coffee and reading the news paper. I just really hope that I won't go back to ground zero in getting close with Gabriella again. I already put up so much effort. I think. Without the help of Alex, I wouldn't have done it. I thank the kid gratefully.

"Good Morning!" came a voice from behind him. Troy turned around to see that it was Alex. He just woke up.

"Hey Alex, Good morning to you too." Troy said and smiled. "Come on, let's eat. I was waiting for you anyway."

"Thanks." Alex smiled and sat beside Troy. A maid came out with their breakfast and the two chowed down. "Troy?"

"Yeah?" Troy said and looked at Alex before sipping in his cup of coffee.

"Where's mom?"

Flashback

"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.

Troy stood up and collected his clothes from last night, and headed to the bathroom. He took a shower before going downstairs for breakfast.

End of Flashback

"She went to work around 8 a.m." He, again, sipped from his cup of coffee.

"She's early for today. So how was dinner with mom last night?" teased Alex.

"It was great, man. She was so lovely and all. Your mom's just so great!"

"Where'd she sleep anyway?"

"We slept…" Troy's eyes got a bigger as he paused in realization of what he just said. "Umm… We slept around 2 a.m. 'cause we got hung-up with all the laughter and stuff." Troy said.

"We? We slept?" Alex asked, grinning.

"Yeah. Uhh… but not the 'we slept' that you are thinking about. Like, just 'we slept' at the same time slept. She slept at the guest room and I slept on the couch." Troy explained.

"Why the couch? There's a bunch of guest rooms here." Alex was getting a bit suspicious.

"I…I just wanted to keep a close eye on the people that pass bye or enter. You know? I got very special guests." Troy grinned this situation away.

"O-kay." Alex was about to laugh when Troy interrupted.

"Aren't we forgetting something?" He asked Alex.

"What?" Alex chewed on his eggs and ham breakfast.

"Oh god! Your mom's gonna kill me!" Troy stood up. "Today's Monday! You have school!" the eyes of both men grew in shock and rushed back to Troy's room.

-Trust and Love Chapter 9-

After 20 minutes of preparing, hurrying, shouting, and driving, finally, they got to Alex's school. They both got out of the Troy's Lamborghini Reventon and rushed to Alex's classroom. As soon as they got there, the bell for the first period was now over.

"Mr. Montez." Said Alex's homeroom teacher, Miss Leyla Reginald. "Late again, but this time, an hour late. Be thankful that I've decided to start with homeroom announcements." She stated as she walked towards Alex, who was outside the room.

As she got out, she was surprised to see someone, other than his mom, with him. "Hi. I'm sorry. Alex was late because of me 'cause I lost track of time." Troy said as he scratched the back of his head. "Troy Bolton." He offered a handshake and Miss Leyla took it and shook.

"Troy Bolton? As in the Troy Bolton?" She asked as she stared at Troy with amazement.

"Uhh, yeah." Troy smiled awkwardly as students peeked outside to see him. "You can let go of my hand now." Miss Leyla was embarrassed as she let his hand go.

"Sorry." She apologized, "Why don't you come in?" She offered.

"Oh no thanks. I'm just here to drop Alex off." Troy smiled as he looked at Alex. "So Alex, your mom and I have arranged that I come and pick you up after school and we'll meet her up later, ok?" Alex nodded. "See you later buddy. I best be going now Miss." Troy bid farewell to both Miss Leyla and Alex. He then patted Alex's head and walked away.

-Trust and Love Chapter 9-

After the second period came recess and Miss Leyla asked Alex to stay for a while. He sat in front of her desk and she started to talk.

"I will let this late slip but next time, try to be on time in our classes, ok?" she said.

"Yes, Miss Leyla. I'll let mom and Troy know about that."

"About that, why were you with Troy anyway?" she asked.

"Well, I stayed over at his place 'cause he babysat me yesterday and we didn't have a chance to go home yesterday." Alex explained.

"We? Who do you mean by we?" she asked again.

"Me and my mom." Alex smiled.

"What is your mom's relationship with Troy?" and again.

"I don't know…friends?"

"Are they dating?" and again.

"Why are you asking so many questions, Miss Leyla? You're not a reporter, you know. You're a teacher." He stood up and said, "See ya." And walked outside.

"Always a punk, aye Alex?" She sighed and said, "but he does make sense."

-Trust and Love Chapter 9-

"Dr. Montez?" Called out an intern. "Someone's looking for you at the lobby."

"Tell them that I'll be out after this. I'll just close up." Said Gabriella.

"I'll close for you, Dr. Montez." Said another surgeon, Dr. Sean Richards.

"Thanks, Sean. I owe you one." She said as she walked out of the OR.

Gabriella made her way to the lobby only to find Troy sitting there and she immediately knew that he was looking for her. She walked up to him and stood there directly.

"Yes, Troy?" Gabriella asked.

"Hey, Gabi-bi-briella!" stuttered Troy.

"Nice save, Troy. What are you doing here?"

"Well… wanna go grab some lunch?" He asked, innocently.

"Troy… you can't just go here and ask suddenly like I'm always free. You could've at least texted or called ahead of time." She explained.

"But it's about that matter that we were supposed to talk about."

"What matter?" a person suddenly interrupts their conversation. It made both Troy and Gabriella look at the person.

"Oh, Sean. Didn't see you there." Gabriella laughed awkwardly.

"Can't you see this is a private conversation? Between only two people?" Troy said as he was getting irritated.

"Troy." Gabriella looked at him sternly.

"Hey, sorry. Didn't mean to butt in." He apologized.

"Troy, this is Dr. Sean Richards. He's our trauma surgeon." She introduced. "and Sean, this is Troy. He's…uhh… Troy Bolton." Then she sighed.

"Nice to meet you, Troy." Said Sean.

"You, too, Sean."

"So, wanna eat lunch together, Gab?" asked Dr. Richards.

"I can't, Sean. I'm going with Troy. Maybe some other time, thanks anyway." Gabriella smiled.

"No problem. See you later and see you soon, Troy." Sean bid goodbye.

Gabriella sighed. "Let's go." She pulled him with her to the lounge. "Now you just sit there." She commanded.

"Yes, Ma'am." Troy grinned.

Suddenly, Gabriella started to undress. She took off her shirt and Troy gulped. She took off her pants and Troy breathed heavily. As she put her pants on, he watched her breasts bounce. It was all in slow motion for him. "Don't get too excited, Hotshot. I'm just changing."

"Gabi, you just…" he walked slowly and quietly up to Gabriella. "you just turned me on and made me hard." He whispered in her ear.

"What?" Gabriella turned around to look at Troy but she was caught off guard by their closeness that their lips touched.

Troy kissed her and Gabriella felt his need and want. It was her. She kissed him back. There, they had an intimate make out session. She dragged him into one of the rooms in the lounge as she felt his manhood growing inside his pants.

They laid down and continued with making out until Troy couldn't hold it anymore. He took Gabriella's pants off and also his. Troy proceeded kissing down Gabriella's neck. "Tr—Troy…" She moaned.

"Gabi, I… I need to be inside you. Now." Troy said as he kissed Gabriella's shoulders. Gabriella nodded and then Troy inserted his fully grown manhood inside Gabriella. Both of them moaned in pleasure. As he was going inside and out of Gabriella, he kept on kissing her on the lips every time he came back. He still made sure he was sweet to her during the whole intercourse.

After both came, Troy withdrew and flopped at Gabriella's side. They were both panting in pleasure. Gabriella closed her eyes as she regulated her breathing. Troy went up and kissed her square on the lips and she smiled but she hid this from him.

Gabriella stood up and walked up to the bathroom but before closing the door, she asked, "Aren't you coming in?"

Troy stood up with a smile on his face and they both took a shower. They're shower brought them back to life and the real world. Troy was looking at Gabriella and grinning. She gave him a stern look. "Not another word."

"Again." He laughed.

After showering, the two dressed up and headed outside unnoticeably but other residents saw them as they passed the lobby.

"Wet hairs? Seem to look refreshed? And the guy bowing his head, as if he's hiding something? Hmm... they just had sex." Said one resident.

"But isn't that Dr. Montez? First time I heard her having sex in the hospital." Said another resident.

"Who's that guy she's with? He doesn't look familiar." Said the third resident.

All of them agreed as they looked at the two leave the hospital, heads down.

-Trust and Love Chapter 9-

Troy and Gabriella arrived at a local café and they made their way to the private part of e café, where celebrities dine and lounge for privacy comfort.

"I don't want you to misunderstand things, ok Troy?" said Gabriella.

"Well, what do you want me to think? After all those hot and sexy stuff, you just can't make me think of something else." Troy grinned.

"Oh shut up, Bolton. Those were just pure stuff. No feelings included." She explained.

"Really?" His grin getting bigger as he sipped his coffee.

"Yes, Troy. Really. And not a word about all of this things, ok? This will be the first and the last time we'll be talking about this."

"Just admit it, Gabi—"

"That's Gabriella to you." She interrupted.

Troy sighed and continued. "We still have that chemistry. We can still be together." The topic got a little serious as Troy's face and tone changed.

"Look, Troy, I just can't, ok? I just can't." She explained.

"Why? I'm not the one who left you. You're the one who left me. I didn't even get to say goodbye. All you gave me was a post-it note."

Flashback

Troy was on his way to Gabriella's house and he so excited to see her. For today, he had bought Gabriella a ring that symbolizes his love for her and that he promises to love her forever. Before leaving, he called Chad.

RING! RING! RING!

"Hello?" Chad answered.

"Yo Chad!" Troy replied.

"Hey man. Uh, what's up?"

"Dude, I'm heading to Gabriella's today and I'm gonna give her the ring." Troy explained excitedly.

"What ring?" Chad asked as he took a bite from his sandwich.

"You know, the one I bought at the jewelry store. The ring that symbolizes that she's everything to me."

"Oh, that ring! Almost forgot!" Chad's cell phone rang. "Hoops, hold up. Got a text."

"Go ahead." Troy said. With that, Chad ran up to get his phone from sofa and was shocked as he read it.

From: Unknown number

Hey Chad. Today's moving day and I was hoping you'd show up before we leave but maybe you got caught up with some stuff. Anyway, you can text me here. This is my number now and please don't give it to anyone else. You're the only person who knows I'm leaving. Just keep this between us. Thanks Chad. Keep in touch.

Xoxo,

Gabriella

Chad gulped as he walked back to the kitchen and put the phone to his ear.

"Chad? You still there?" asked Troy.

Chad breathed in and smiled. "Yeah man."

"So, about the ring thing, wanna come with me?" Troy asked excitedly.

Chad closed his eyes and sighed. "I can't man. Mom asked me to do some stuff. Just tell me what will happen, Hoops." Chad couldn't bare to his best friend tear down and get heartbroken so, he decided not to go with Troy. He feared that he might tell Troy where Gabriella will be going.

"Ok man. See you later. I'll drop by afterwards. Bye"

"Sure man. Bye." Chad sighed.

As Troy parked his truck outside the Montez household, he immediately noticed the 'FOR SALE' sign on the lawn.

"What?" He quickly got out of his truck and ran towards the door. Luckily, it was open.

As he got inside, he was shocked. The house was empty. He then ran up to Gabriella's room and opened it. He was left more shock. Gabriella's room was empty. Their pictures that once hung on her wall and were on her desk and drawers were gone. Her clothes were gone. He was left speechless.

He walked up to Gabriella's bed and sat. He found a note on her bedside drawer and read it.

Troy,

Thanks for giving me so many wonderful memories. I had the best life here in Albuquerque because of you. It has always been you. You're the best and keep on aiming for the right things. And remember, I will love you always and forever.

Love,

Gabriella

A teardrop fell from Troy's eye as he sat there quietly and looked at the note. He closed his eyes and put the note to his chest as more tears fell from his eyes.

End of Flashback

"I have to go." Gabriella got up but before she could walk, Troy grabbed her arm and looked at her with a pleading look.

"Just give me one chance, Gabriella." Troy said seriously. "Please. One chance."

Do you think Gabriella will give Troy a second chance or will they stay as friends?

Sorry for the late update, guys. I was busy with school and such. Hope you like chapter 9.

Xoxo,
