Gabriella signed, still resting her head on Troy's shoulder, and closed her eyes, but wasn't exactly sleeping. She started the lyrics of the new song she finished writing and recording on her laptop called Amazed. She gently squeezed the hand of the person who inspired the song. She slowly traced Troy's hand and pecked it. She nuzzled into his chest and signed-but a happy sign, thinking about her wonderful boyfriend.
Troy looked down at Gabriella, lovingly, planting a kiss on her cheek, wondering how he was so lucky to have a perfect girlfriend like her. Gabriella was just so beautiful and perfect; it still baffled him that she was his-all his. Troy kissed the top of her head and played with her hair; smiling-actually grinning about the dream he had last night.
The dream was about him and Gabriella, alone in a beautiful beach, at midnight. The dream was a bit unexpected, but turned out to be beyond amazing and awesome.
Troy smiled as he kissed Gabriella's hand and looked out the window and the dream replayed in his mind.
Troy was holding hands with his beautiful Gabriella as they walked along the beach under the moonlight. He gazed at Gabriella and couldn't believe how radiant she looked under the moonlight. Wearing just a simple white spaghetti-strap, flowing dress and her long sleek raven- black hair flowing in the cool breeze, she looked unbelievably breath-taking beautiful like a dark-haired angel.
They suddenly stopped walking. They looked out the beautiful ocean, seeing the moon's reflection in the water, watching the waves as they crashed.
Gabriella signed, wrapping her arms around him, resting her head on his chest. "I wish this could never end," She whispered. "I wish it could just be like this. Just you and me together forever."
Troy wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "Maybe it can be like that." He whispered, smiling down at her.
Gabriella looked up at him, confused, raising her eyebrow up. "What do you mean?" She asked.
Troy said nothing, but only smiled as he slowly stepped back, releasing her from his grip, and kneeled down to the ground. He looked up at her, smiling, preparing for the surprise he had planned for her.
Gabriella gasped as Troy pulled a velvet box from his pants' pocket, took her hand, and smiled his charming dazzling smile that he knew drove her crazy and made her heart melt.
"Gabriella Antoinette Montez," He said. "From the day I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one. The girl who I want to spend the rest of my life with. You were always there for me, comforting me, helping me, and understanding me more than anyone else ever did. You are like angel send down from heaven. I know we're too young to be thinking about stuff like this and how they say the whole high school sweethearts' thing doesn't work out, but I don't care. I know you're the one for me. I always loved ever since the day I first met you and always will. Forever. I love you, Gabriella. You're my angel. I want to be with you forever. So will you do me the greatest honor of becoming my wife who I will always love and cherish forever?" He slowly opened the velvet box, revealing a very beautiful and expensive-looking diamond engagement ring.
Gabriella didn't say a word, but instead burst into tears. Troy looked at her, surprised to see she was crying, and got up from the ground. He wiped away her tears, but couldn't help but feel kind of hurt.
"Oh, baby don't cry. I'm sorry. I guess it's too soon. I'm sorry. If you don't want to marry me, I completely-" He began to say, but was cut off by Gabriella, who crashed her lips against his and kissed him passionately. She pulled him closer to her, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him with everything she got.
Troy was a bit surprised by the kiss, but gladly kissed her back, passionately. They finally pulled back, breathlessly, but smiling hugely at each other.
"Will you marry me, Gabriella and make me the happiest man alive?" He asked her, hopefully, with a hopeful smile, holding her hand and caressing it.
Gabriella continued to cry, but cried only tears of happiness. Her mascara was running, and yet she was still the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.
"Yes," She whispered, smiling. "Yes! Troy Alexander Bolton, I would be honored to become your wife. I don't care if we're too young. I know you're the perfect guy for me and I love you more than anything."
Troy looked at her with the biggest smile he ever grinned. "Yes!" He yelled as he grabbed Gabriella and spun her around and around, kissing her with everything he got. Gabriella kissed him back, pouring everything she felt for him into that kiss. Troy finally put her down and slowly slide the beautiful ring onto her finger. He looked down at the ring, which was shining in the moonlight, and then up at his beautiful, now fiancé.
He kissed her hand and kissed her passionately, for a long slow moment before pulling back and resting his forehead against hers. "I love you." He whispered, grinning.
"I love you, too. Always have and always will." She said, before he kissed her again.
Troy grinned, remembering that wonderful dream. That was the most amazing dream he ever had. He knows all about how they're young and how the whole high school sweethearts' thing doesn't always work out, but he doesn't give a damn about that crap. He knows Gabriella is the one for him. He looked down at her and kissed her hand repeatedly, making her giggle.
She looked up at him, noticing the big grin he had on his face, and kissed his cheek. "What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Just about a perfect dream I had about perfect you." He said.
"Can you tell me about it?" Gabriella said, smiling at him, tracing his hand. She gave him the puppy-dog look that she knew he couldn't resist.
He almost fell under her spell, but couldn't blame himself. Gabriella was just too irresistible. But lucky he gain some control over himself.
"Sorry Brie. But I'll only tell you about my dream when I'm ready. You're going to have to wait." Troy said smiling teasingly at her, leaving butterfly kisses all over her sweet face.
Gabriella giggled as she nuzzled his chest, looked up at him, and kissed his cheek. "Brie?" She asked, curiously about the nickname he just called her.
Troy nodded, wrapping his arms around her. "My own nickname for you." He said, grinning at her.
Suddenly they were blinded by flashes. Troy looked up, seeing Jackie, ruining another good moment by snapping pictures of them with her new digital camera. Troy grinded his teeth, giving her a death glare, and kicked his sister's chair so hard she nearly dropped her expensive camera.
"Hey if you break it, you buy it." She reminded him before she snapped a quick picture of him and burst into giggles, returning to her seat.
Troy was about to kick Jackie's seat again-more harder this time, but Gabriella held him back and gave him a soft, gentle look telling him to calm down. Troy took deep breaths and decided let it go. He'll deal with his annoying sister later.
The pilot later announced that they're ahead of schedule and should be arriving in Europe in less than an hour. The passengers cheered with excitement- mostly the gang, who gave each other high fives. Finally when the plane landed at the airport, the gang quickly exited the plane and grabbed their suitcases. Mr. Montez arranged for a stretch limousine to pick them up, which drove them around all of Europe, and finally reached Paris, finally reaching the hotel. By the time they reached there, it was already night-time. The hotel employees welcomed them friendly, offering them refreshments, but had to call others for help to carry all of the girls' luggage.
The hotel they were staying at was definitely fancy and unbelievably massively huge. It was also pretty luxurious and had an old Paris Victorian times' theme to it. It has over three pools, yoga and pilates classes, a huge work-out gym, five cafes, over ten different restaurants, and even has a hot tub in every suite's bathroom.
After Mr. Montez checked them in and got the keys to their suites, he gathered the teens around and showed them the suite keys. "In my hand are keys to your suites. Now listen if you lost these, I will be very angry with you."
They thought for a moment that he was joking but after seeing how serious his face and tone was, they knew he wasn't.
"Alright now I booked four suites for you guys, including myself, so choose your roommate." He told them.
"How about you and me?" Tia, who was carrying a sleeping Isabella in her arms, asked Jackie. The two have become fast-friends and being a roommate with each other would be fun.
"Sure, this will be fun." Jackie said, smiling at her. Mr. Montez handed them the key to their suite. Both girls squealed and each other a high-five.
"Mark, how about you and me?" Ryan asked. The Evans and Montezs families have been friends forever and are practically family. Gabriella, Tia, Mark, and Jason are like brothers and sisters to him and Sharpay. Sharing a room with Mark would be like sharing a room with an older brother.
"Sure." Mark said, patting Ryan's shoulder. Mr. Montez handed them their suite key.
"I'll stay with you, Dad," Jason said. They all looked at him, a bit surprised, including his dad. He just shrugged causally. "Since I figure it would be better sharing a suite with my dad, than with my brother and sisters. No offence," He looked at his siblings. "But after a little accident that happened the last time I shared a suite with one of my siblings," He stared at Tia. "I would rather share a suite with you."
Tia sticked her tongue out at him, but wanted so badly to give the finger. But she had to be a good role model for her daughter, Isabella; and definitely didn't want her to imitate the screw-you-finger.
"I'll stay with you girls." Sharpay said, with a sweet smile, and an idea involving Troyella forming in her head. Jackie looked at her confused until Sharpay gave her a look and the obvious answer hit her. She nodded, going along with Sharpay's plan.
"Sure, Shar. That would be cool," Jackie said. She turned to Tia. "You don't mind, do you, Tia?"
Tia glanced back and forth at Jackie and Sharpay, knowing they were up to something by the way they were smirking at her sister and her sister's boyfriend. She glanced at Troyella and back at the smirking blondes as the obvious answer hit her. "Sure I don't mind." She said, figuring out what they were up to, and couldn't help but smirk a bit.
Troy and Gabriella realized there was only one hotel suite left, and figured out what the girls were up to. They looked at each other and blush a bright red; but also smiled at each other.
(A/N: For those of you who can't tell what the girls are up, Sharpay's plan is for Troyella to have their own hotel suite.)
"I guess me and Troy are going to share the last hotel suite." Gabriella said slowly, smiling a bit more at Troy as she said each word. Troy was blushing a crimson red, but smiled at her.
Her father looked unsure while her brothers looked at their youngest baby sister, protectively.
Gabriella walked over to her dad, wrapped her arms around him, and gave him the too-cute-to-resist puppy-dog face. "Please daddy. Por favor.'' She said sweetly, with the too adorable puppy dog look that no one can say no to.
Nicholas Montez knew he was defeated by his little angel. The puppy dog face was too damn cute, he couldn't say no. He signed, giving in. "Mi hija, usted es muy afortunado que eres una de mis niñas especiales, que está trsutwothy, y que su cara de perro-cachorro es demasiado adorable para resistir," He said, smiling, pinching Gabriella's cheeks. "Y que estamos celebrando su cumpleaños. De lo contrario, han dicho que no."
(A/N: in translation, he said "My daughter, you are very lucky you're one of my special little girls, that you're trustworthy, and that your puppy face is too adorable to resist. And that we're celebrating your birthday. Otherwise I would have said no.")
Expect for the Montez kids, Troy, Ryan, Sharpay, and Jackie didn't speak Spanish, but knew Mr. Montez said yes. The girls squealed as they gave each other high-fives. Gabriella hugged her dad and kissed his cheek, thanking him in Spanish, and walked over to Troy. He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.
"Okay," Mr. Montez said, clapping his hands, getting the teens' attention. "Now you are each going to need these," He handed them beach a tour guide book of Paris. "And you," He said to Troy, Jackie, Ryan, and Sharpay "are going to need these." He handed them an English/France translator book in cause they need help with translation.
He didn't need to give Gabriella, Tia, Mark, and Jason a translator book since thanks to him and their foreign maids they already speak five different languages, including France.
Before the teens rushed up to their suites to unpack and start exploring both the instantly awesome hotel and city, wanting to explore Paris at night, Mr. Montez stopped and made a few announcements. "You may feel free to do whatever you do whatever you want. But if there is any trouble-I don't care if you're not even my own kid-then there will be consequences. Consequences and punishment. I want to make that very clear. If there is any trouble, there will be consequences,"
They could easily tell that he wasn't joking around.
"Tomorrow we will meet at the sunrise café for breakfast at ten where we first start the celebration for the 18th birthday of a very special someone." He said, smiling at Gabriella. Everyone turned to her and grinned. Gabriella smiled and was trying not to blush.
"Gab, you should get some shut-eye," Tia said, giving her sister a small hug. "After you got a big day tomorrow."
Gabriella hugged her back. "Thanks Tia." She said and turned to the others. "And also thank you, too, you guys. But please don't go over the top." She warned. She just wants a simple birthday, nothing too wild, fancy, or extreme.
"Awe." Mark said to her before he hugged, pulled her back, and held her cheeks. "Sis, you should know by now we will. Eighteen is a very important birthday. It's goodbye to childhood and hello to adulthood." He couldn't help, but let out a sniffle. "I can't believe my baby sister is all grown up," He sniffled again. "I swear I wasn't going to cry."
"Aw, Mark." Gabriella said, giving him a light punch.
He let out another sniffle as he hugged her again and held her tight for a moment. Soon the gang joined in a big group hug. They just stood there for a moment, hugging one another, feeling like one big family. Until they broke up and went up to their suites, carrying some of their suitcases while some bell-hops carried the rest, to unpack and begin exploring.
Room 4157-Troy's and Gabriella's suite-was on the top floor so they had to ride the elevator all they way up of the gigantic hotel until they finally reached their hotel suite. The bellhop used his access key to open their suite, carried their luggages inside, and waved his hand at their suite.
Troy and Gabriella stepped into their suite and looked around in amazed, awing. Gabriella couldn't help but squeal, seeing how huge and fancy the place was, and looked around. Troy gave the bell-hop a good tip, shut the door behind him and locked it, and turned back to the awesome and looked around the place, whistling low, impressed.
There was a mini fridge for a kitchen filled with awesome drinks and snacks. A huge, beautiful old-fashion looking balcony with a great view of the city. An instantly huge bathroom that was meant for a celebrity with its instantly amazing shower that looked like it was one of those fancy from KOHLER, and a huge, relaxing hot tub for a bathtub. A wide-screen TV that was attached to the wall, a long wooden desk with a desk lamp and the hotel stationary, a too soft off-white lazy-boy couch with matching foot stool; and two extra huge buttery-soft king-size beds with soft comforter bed-set and a box of chocolate truffles, instead of chocolate mints that would normally be left on the hotel beds. And also there was even a Victorian times' old fashion fireplace.
"This place is fancy. I love it." Gabriella said, gushing over the place. She took off her strappy platform heels and felt the softness of the suite's soft off-white carpet.
"Yeah, it is." Troy agreed as he looked around the awesome suite. He couldn't believe he was staying in such an awesome hotel room, but more importantly, he couldn't believe he was actually in Paris, staying here for five day, sharing the awesome suite with his perfect, goddess girlfriend.
He took off his jacket and shoes, and went over to the lazy-boy couch, un-whining, feeling the couch was fit for a king.
Gabriella couldn't help, but notice how cute and at ease Troy looked, un-whining on the couch. She quickly took out her PDA cell phone and snapped a few pictures of him. Troy looked a bit surprised, but soon smiled at his girlfriend, seeing she was taking pictures of him with her phone, and teasingly sticked his tongue out at her. Gabriella giggled as she took more pictures of him, this time with her light blue digital camera. When she was done taking pictures, she put her camera back in her duffle bag and dug around inside the bag for her iPod speakers.
Once she found them, she placed her I-Touch IPod into the speakers, and placed them on the desk. She turned the volume up, but not too loud so the people next door wouldn't complain. Then she went over to one of the beds, got on top of it, and jumped up and down, bouncing and giggling as she danced and sing along to Lady GaGa Just Dance, one of her favorite songs.
Troy looked at Gabriella, watching her bounce up and down on the bed, singing along to Lady Gaga. He couldn't resist taking a few pictures with his camera as she bounced on the bed, dancing and singling along to the music.
"Come on Troy. Jump with me." Gabriella said, jumping on the bed. "Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance." She said, singling the song.
Troy normally wouldn't jump on the bed, but couldn't say no to Gabriella. He got off the couch, walked over to the bed, got on top of it, and jumped up and down with Gabriella, bouncing on the bed while dancing to next I-Touch song, Christian Aguilera Keeps Getting Better.
But as they were dancing to it, Gabriella tripped and lost her balance, trying to jump higher while doing high-kicks. She held on to Troy, trying to keep her balance, but instead made Troy fall on his back on the bed, pulling her on top of him. They looked at each other for a moment, not moving a muscle or saying a thing, until they burst into laughter. Finally when they stopped laughing, they just gazed into each other's eyes, smiling at each other, having a moment.
Troy pulled Gabriella closer to him, their faces less than two inches away from each other's, grinning. Gabriella grinned back at him, playing with his dark chestnut brown hair. He caressed her smooth, baby-soft cheeks. They leaned in closer to each other, closing their eyes, ready to kiss until…
Troy's Cha your head in the game ring-tone started to play. Troy groaned as he slowly and gently pushed Gabriella back. He went through his suitcases until he finally found his cell phone and answered it.
"Talk to me-but oh hey, but before you do, I want you to know that your call interrupted me from kissing my girlfriend," He turned around and gave Gabriella a quick wink. She giggled as she shook her head. "So f-ing screw you!" He said to the caller as he turned back.
"F-ing screw you, too, you bastard!" Jackie said on the other line.
"Jackie!" He groaned. Must this she-devil ruin every good moment, he thought. "You dumbass! In case you forgotten you have a three year old in your room. She can hear you!" He exclaimed.
"I know that, asshole. That's why I'm in the bathroom, trying not to talk too loud. Do you think I actually want Isabella to learn cursing at a young age?!" Jackie said. "First of all I want you to know something. The only reason Shar decided to stay in the suite with me and Tia, and also Isabella, is because she wants you guys to have a suite to yourselves. You can say it's like an early birthday gift for Gabi. But listen, ass-wipe, Gabi is a really sweet girl and I really like her a lot. She's becoming like a little sister to me, the little sister I never had. So if you hurt her, I will burn your f-ing ass!"
"You know I would never hurt her. In case you forgotten, you slutty-retard, I love her more than anything. She's the best thing to ever happen to me. I care about her a lot, more than anything else in this God damn forsaken world." Troy said.
Gabriella couldn't help, but listen to Troy's conversation. Once she heard what Troy said about her and how much he loves her, she smiled and was touched. She leaned against him, laying her head on his chest, and hugged him, snuggling up to him. Troy looked down at her and smiled while stroking her hair, and pecked her head.
"Okay, okay I get it," Jackie said, knowing Troy was going a bit overboard. "All I need was for you to understand that if you hurt her, I'll kick your ass and then burn it. That's all I need to you know," She then remembered something, something that happened earlier in the morning on the flight and involved Troy and Gabriella. She smirked, knowing it will make Troy blush tomato red, which gives her satisfaction. "Also by the way, remember how on the plane, you and Miss Gabriella were gone in the morning. For quite awhile I may add."
"Yeah." Troy said slowly. He had a feeling she was up to something and knowing it wasn't going to be good.
"Well when I went to go use the plane's bathroom, the door was locked. I heard some people talking inside and recognized you guys' voices," She said, knowing when he hears the next part, he'll be more than beyond pissed. "The next thing I know, I'm hearing intense make-out sessions, some banging, and moaning. I'm also sure I heard clothes being peeled and tossed," She couldn't help, but laugh a bit, actually a lot. "I swear if Gabriella didn't stop you, then you would have gone all the way, having sex in the plane's bathroom. I'm sorry bro. I know it was wrong to be listening in on you guys, but still..."She cracked up again. "Luckily I went back to my seat before you guys came out."
Troy couldn't speak for a moment. He was just very still like a statue. He wasn't sure whether he should be embarrassed that Jackie heard their little very hot make-out session or should be furious that she did in the first place, invading their privacy. He clanged the phone close to his ear, his face forming into a tight scowl, his fists tightly clenched, his blood boiling, and his anger building up and was close to eruption like a volcano.
He held the phone very close to his ear, staying very still until finally… "YOU ARE SO DEAD, BITCH!!!" He yelled; the yell was so loud it could nearly make a person deaf. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU BITCH, YOU BETTER HOPE TO GOD I DON'T KICK YOUR SLUTTY-ASS TO THE FUCKING MOON!!!"
He hanged up his phone, tossed it aside, and was about to charge out the door, ready to kick the hell out of his sister. Gabriella saw Troy looking like he was about to explode as he was about to leave the suite room and had to stop him before he does something that he'll regret. She knew his anger was about to erupt; and that his anger was rising very high to a dangerous level again. She ran behind him, wrapping her arms around him, stopping him.
She tightened the grip she had around him and gently laid her head on his back. She could feel his stiff anger-tense muscles becoming relaxed by her touch. "Please Troy calm down. Don't do something you know you'll soon regret." She murmured; her voice soothing. She softly kissed the back of his neck and laid her head on his back.
Troy's hand was on the door's handle, ready to open it, but it was still. He felt the anger building up inside of him, but suddenly it was like it was cooled down and dropped down-all the way down. Just by hearing her soft-angelic voice soothing him, feeling her warm soft body close to his, and her arms wrapped around him, hugging him, he was just immediately calmed down.
Only an angel had that type of ability to instantly calm someone down. Slowly Troy's lips curved into a small smile, her enchantment spell was cast on him, taking its effect; and realizing once again God truly send him an angel from heaven. Gabriella is truly my angel, he thought.
He closed his eyes as he took deep, slow breaths; her spell growing more on him. He brought one of her hands up to his face, nuzzled into it, feeling the baby-smooth softness of her skin, and kissed it. He held her hand as he turned to her and pulled her into a hug. Gabriella wrapped her arms around him, laying her head on his chest. Troy could feel her smiling. He pecked the top of her head and rested his chin on it.
This girl…is truly an angel, Troy thought as he began rocking her back and forth, with his arms still wrapped around her beautiful petite frame. The things she does, the way she makes me feels…I still can't believe she's mine-all mine. When I'm with Gabriella, I feel…for once in my life…great….and even happy, too. With Gabriella, I don't have to pretend, I can just be myself. She doesn't make things complicated for me, she instead makes them better.
Gabriella is the only person he knows who makes him feel decent about himself-actually great about himself. Even though she is undoubtedly flawless and perfect while he's the exact opposite of perfect, it doesn't matter to her. Even though he's kind of mess-up most of the time and has major issues, such as his horrible anger problem, she still accepts him and loves him for him. With Gabriella, he can just be himself and always feels more than good.
Troy lifted her up and carried her bridal-style to the bed. He sat on the bed, carried her on his lap, and rocked her back and forth, while gently rubbing her back.
They both smiled, closing their eyes as they held each other tightly, still rocking as their minds wander.
Is it possible to love someone so much it feels like they're a part of you? Gabriella thought, thinking about Troy. She laid her head on his chest and listened to his heart. To her, it was a magnificence sound. She tilted her head up to kiss him on the nose and pecked his lips, earning a smile and a kiss back from him. I love him so much, she thought as she rested her head back on his chest. He's a part of me now, a very huge part. She smiled.
Ironically Troy was thinking the same thing about Gabriella, wondering if a person you love so much can become a part of you.
I can't believe how much I've changed since she became mine, he thought as he held gently squeezed her and kissed her head. I love this girl so much. Gabriella became a huge part in my life. She's my only reason, my only pure weakness. With her…I just feel…complete, whole. With her, I feel like I can do anything, like a superhuman.
Suddenly Troy had a brilliant idea. He knew what he was going to do for Gabriella for her birthday. It was going to be a bit cheesy, but not too corny. And also really sweet and very romantic, if he does says so himself. The surprise was going to involve two things, one which is very special object-that will touch her heart and he hopes she likes-and also hopes she says yes to-and the other will also touch her heart.
"Um baby," He told her, lifting her off his lap and onto the bed, and got up. "I got to go somewhere."
"Oh, where are you going?" She asked curiously.
"I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I need to go see Jackie to ask her for some advice." He said, sounding very surprised to himself. Normally he would never ask Jackie for advice. She's the last person on earth he would ever seek advice from. But surprisingly, this time-and hopefully the last-he needs her help.
Gabriella was almost surprised as he was, but was able to hide it. "Oh, okay. Have fun," She said and then pecked his cheek. "Just don't try to kill her." She added, teasingly.
Troy chuckled as he kissed her cheek. "I'll try not to. But if she tries to get on my nerves and act like an annoying bitch, and something happens to her, I cannot be held responsible." He brushed her hair back with his fingers, pecked her cheek, and left.
As Troy left, Gabriella took out her cell phone and texted her sister, asking her to come up to her suite. She needed some advice herself. And who better to give her advice, than her own big sister.
Tia texted her back, saying she'll be there in less than ten minutes. And also she'll bring Isabella with her.
Meanwhile with Troy, he finally found out what room the other girls were in, Room 4018, and pounded on the door, getting impatient as he waited for someone to open the damn door.
As the door finally opened, Troy looked at the person, shocked, and screamed loud and terrified like he saw the bloody Ghost of Christmas Future. It was his sister, Jackie, looking both nasty and horrible, wearing some nasty-looking mud mask, her pale blonde hair in hair-rollers, and wearing a very, very short white nightgown that practically showed her soft blue underwear with purple roses-which Troy made feel like he was about to throw up and wanted so badly to erase from his mind-and had a very, very low neck-line that showed a lot of cleavage-which God knows he really didn't need to see.
"OH MY GREAT MOTHER FUCKING GOD!!!!!!" He screamed, shocked by what he saw and desperately didn't want or needed to see it. He closed his eyes, and covered them with his hands. "I'M BLIND!!!! I'VE GONE FUCKING BLIND!!!!!"
Jackie smacked him to shut him up, and was pissed off that Troy interrupted her from her me-time spa-time. "You are so damn lucky that Tia took Izzy with her upstairs to Gabriella's suite," She said. "Otherwise we would have kicked your fucking ass! Now what the hell do you want!? You're interrupting me-time!"
"First of all what the damn hell are you wearing?!" Troy said, pointing at her very revealing nightgown.
"Calm down, Professor Dumbass! It's a nightgown. I bought it from Bendels's before we left," Jackie said. "It's cute." She added.
"It's a fucking stripper dress! You look like a fucking damn tramp in that! Put on some fucking clothes, will you?" He said.
Jackie gasped, and then smacked him-harder this time. "Fuck you, ass-wipe!" She said. "Now what the hell do you want?!!"
Troy shivered first in disgust, desperately trying to erase the absolutely disturbing-not to mention disgusting-images of his sister his subconscious downloaded. But unfortunately the damage was already done. Those images were now stuck in his mind. "Well first of all, thank you for the disturbing pictures that will forever haunt me and be implanted in my head, which can never be erased. And second…" He pauses for a minute, couldn't believe what he was going to say next. "I can't believe I'm actually saying this but… I need your help. I need your damn help." He mentally slapped himself for begging to Jackie, the thing he rather eat shit than do. But he needed some advice and was desperate.
Jackie was caught off guard, looking just as surprise as Troy.
"Um…okay," She said slowly. She then checked her watch and then looked up at him. "Look I only have twenty minutes of me-time left. Come on in." She led him inside her hotel room.
Sharpay was already fast asleep, laying in one of the hotel beds, wearing pink pajamas (of course) that Troy thanked God wasn't revealing like Jackie's, also wearing a mud-mask, and was snoring as loud as a train.
Jackie pulled out a chair for Troy from the desk and sat down on the bed that she was sharing with Sharpay. Sharpay's snoring was loud, but they would just have to ignore it.
"Okay," She said to Troy. "I'm all ears. What kind of advice do you need?"
Troy hesitated, unsure whether or not he should tell her, but finally decided to. "Alright, I need advice on Gabriella's birthday present."
"You're telling me that you still don't know what you're going to get her? Well then you're screwed, dumbass! Her birthday is tomorrow. For God's sake Troy, she's your girlfriend and it's her birthday. How could you not get her something?!" Jackie said. After all, the girl is so sweet and deserves something for putting up with your dumbass-self, she thought.
Troy was tempted to give Jackie a good punch, but had to remain calm and control himself. He took a calm breath before he said. "For your information, Miss-know-it-all, I already know what I'm going to get her for her birthday. I just need your advice on them." He told her.
"Okay, what are they?" Jackie said.
"Well one is a poem I'm planning to write for her. I already have it in my head. I just need to write it down. The thing is I'm thinking of turning it into a song because the more I think about it, the more it sounds more like a song," He said.
Jackie nodded her head. She definitely underestimated her brother and really ought to give him some credit. As much she couldn't believe it, Troy's poem/song idea sounded really sweet and definitely romantic. Gabriella is so going to love it.
"Okay so far so good. I hate to admit this, but that's a really good gift idea. It's really sweet," She said. "And the other thing?"
Troy hesitated again, suddenly feeling heat upon his face, his cheeks turning bright red as he thought about the second gift. He wasn't sure exactly how to tell Jackie, so he decided to draw it. He went over to the desk, grabbed a blank piece of paper and a pencil, and started to sketch.
Jackie looked at him, watching him as he drew, wondering what her brother was up to.
Finally when he was finished, Troy walked over to Jackie and slowly held up his drawing. "This is my second gift idea." He said very quickly as he showed her the drawing.
Jackie looked at the sketch idea and gasped, her eyes popping wide and her mouth popped opened.
The sketch was another one of Gabriella, that looked really good and was amazing, but unlike the others, was really unexpected and quite surprising.
In the sketch, she was smiling happily, wearing a beautiful wedding dress complete with a veil, with a beautiful diamond engagement ring on her finger, looking more than ready to get married. The ring was circled, marked as a clue.
Jackie slowly took her gaze off the sketch and looked at her brother; her wide eyes grew even more.
Troy closed his eyes as he took a deep breath and slowly opened them again. "That's my second gift idea," He took another deep breath. "It's an engagement ring. I'm going to ask her to marry me."
Jackie then fainted, rolling off the bed and onto the floor.
"Oh crap." He mumbled.
Meanwhile with Gabriella, she and Tia were listening to the new songs she finished and recorded on her laptop while her niece was fast asleep and were trying not to wake her up. By the time the songs were done, Tia clapped for Gabriella. The songs were really good.
"Gabi, those were amazing," Tia said, giving her a hug. "You really should become a singer. I swear to God if you do and make an album, it will be a #1 top-seller."
Gabriella giggled. "We'll see." She said. Ever since she was ten, already creating songs and singing, her family and friends said that she should become a singer and make an album.
She doesn't know how talented she is.
Tia giggled and couldn't help, but get a hairbrush and brush Gabriella's hair. She always enjoyed doing her sister's hair ever since they were kids. But she noticed Gabriella's usual nearly-black hair was now darkened in a pure raven-black shade. It was a really good look on her, not to mention a really cool shade of black.
"Oh my god, your hair!" She said, brushing her fingers with it. "It got darker. It looks amazing."
Gabriella giggled again. She was just full of giggles. "Thanks. I can't tell whether its midnight-black or raven-black." She said.
"Raven-black. Definitely raven-black." Tia giggled, brushing her hair one more time. She then became serious. "So you want to tell me what happened between you and Troy in the plane's bathroom?" She asked.
Gabriella signed, but with a small smile. "I'm guessing you heard Jackie talking about that?" She said.
Tia nodded. "She was trying not to talk too loud, but didn't succeed. I heard what she said and had to cover Isabella's ears when she cursed. What exactly happened?" She asked.
"Well…." Gabriella began to explain. Over some coke and cupcakes, she explained to Tia what happened. She looked surprised-really surprised-but was glad to hear that they didn't go all the way.
Tia let out a sign of relief when Gabriella finished explaining. "Thank the good heavenly God," She said. She turned back to Gabriella. "Wait a minute. He didn't force you, did he?"
"Of course," Gabriella said a little defensively "Troy isn't like that, Tia. We both just…didn't want to do it yet."
Gabriella knew her sister was only looking out for her and she was grateful for that. Tia knew a lot of boys, especially jerks. Since her ex-boyfriend who left her when she was sixteen, Luke was biggest jerk to ever live. He told Tia that he loved her and practically forced her to have sex with him, threatening to break up with her if she didn't. Tia–at first-didn't want to lose him so she gave in. Expect she had to pay a price. She got pregnant with Isabella. When she told Luke, he called her the biggest whore he ever met in front of everybody, poured his drink on her head, and dumped her, leaving her pregnant and alone. Gabriella remembered how mad-and she means mad-she and her family was when they found out that Luke practically raped Tia, got her pregnant, and how he publicly dumped her. They wanted to send him to jail where he could rot in hell, and tear him to pieces. She even remembered how badly Mark and Jason beat him up.
Tia thought about Luke and what he did to her, and signed sadly. She looked down at her daughter and smiled a bit as she watched her sleep and kissed her head. She loves Isabella more than anything and wouldn't trade her for anything in the world, but still she wished she could have had her later. Also she wished that she never fell for Luke and his asshole-self, and wanted to kick his ass. At lease that fucking asshole can rot in hell, she thought bitterly.
"Troy's not like that, Tia," Gabriella said, bringing her sister back to planet earth. "I will admit, they were some times when we almost went a bit too far, but still we didn't. I want do it when I'm ready and Troy's more than cool with that."
Tia nodded, approving, with a smile. She glad that Troy wasn't an asshole like Luke and wanted to also wait till they were ready.
"I'm glad to hear that." She said.
"Well here's where I need your advice. How do you know if you're ready to do it?" Gabriella asked.
Tia looked at her a bit confused, but said "Well you have to met that special person who loves you for you and then you have to know yourself when you're ready to take the big-step." She looked at Gabriella, curious, raising her eyebrow. "What do you ask?"
"Well…" Gabriella said, twisting her hair with her finger, a habit she does when she gets nervous. She then looked down at the necklace Troy gave her. She couldn't help, but smile as she held the 'T', remembering how he said it stands for also his name and…true love.
She slowly looked at Tia, who was watching her, and took a deep breath before she spoke "Tia, I think I'm ready to do it. Actually, I'm positively sure I want to do it with Troy. I love him and…want to take this big-step with him."
