AN: Chapter 5 guys…thanks for the reviews on the last chapter but I do really need some more to motivate me into writing more chapters for you lovely people to read. So getting reviewing some more. As always Enjoy!

Chapter 5 - Part 1

"Well Princess…as you said your eighteen…not a child. Just do me a favour and stop acting like one." Troy said looking at her."God you really are an ass!" She exclaimed"Good Night Princess." He said just as she slammed his door.'What a day'

A good few months had past and Troy had not had a day off since Gabriella had pulled that stunt. He had put up with being around the young eighteen year old twenty-four hours a day almost seven days a week. It at times was un-bearable and not just for him but for Gabriella as well. He stayed outside her door most nights sat on a chair until he was relieved by a member of the home security team, usually Leona. Carlos was very strict on who looked after Gabriella after she escaped James watch at the party. He escorted her to breakfast, then to school. That was the only time he was not with her - for the six hours which she attend school. He picked her up, escorted her home, stayed with her while she did whatever she had to do, he then went to dinner with her and ended up back in his chair outside her door waiting for Leon to relieve him from his duties so he could get some sleep. Troy then would repeat the whole process again and again and again. Today however was different.

Tonight Mr and Mrs Montez would be hosting a ball dinner - to celebrate the joining of their company with another company. The Montez Empire was joining forces with The Martinez Family Business. A major deal which Carlos had been working on for years. And tonight they were to celebrate the singing of both parties joining together to create an even bigger Money Empire. Maria had been running around for the last few months getting everything ready for this party. At times she had almost been as mad a a headless chicken with the organising. But Leona had been telling Troy that everything ha been done -even down to the colour of the napkins had been arranged.

It was going to be an evening that would never be forgotten, the union of two of the worlds biggest trading companies would unit as one. Troy walked along the narrow dark hallway which led to Carlos's home office. He had called for him five minutes prior. He had said to Troy that he wanted to go over details with Tory that none of the other staff, Maria, Gabriella or even Leon his head of security was to know. He reached the large oak double doors and knocked three times before he heard Carlos invite him in.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Troy asked closing the door behind him.

"Yes Troy. I want to run somethings by you about tonight. Please take a seat. He gestured to one of the green chairs sat in front of his desk. Troy sat in the chair to his left and looked at Carlos. "Troy. I know this is a lot to ask of you. And I know that it is not in the job description. But Maria is very worried especially after her stunt at the last party we went to. So that being said … I need you to escort Gabriella to the dinner tonight." Troy looked at him.

"Sir I thought I was…" Carlos cut him off.

"No Troy I need you to escort Gabriella, but not as her bodyguard." Carlos said to him.

"You mean you want me to…" Troy could not even finish. This was definitely not in the job description.

"Troy my wife is worried this is the only way I can assure that Gabriella will be safe and I mean well protected." Carlos said with a heavy sigh at the end.

"But Mr Montez I think…"

"No Tory I need you not to be involved with the rest of the security team. I need you focused on Gabriella the whole night. I need you sat next to her at the table…I need you to escort her around and make sure you never leave her side. If i put you on security you will have to switch up with other guards. You would not be with Gabriella all night. And my wife and I need you to be with Gabriella all night." Carlos stressed to Troy how important it was that he be with Gabriella at all times.

"I understand sir."

"Okay if anything is to go wrong how do we handle the situation?" Carlos asked him.

"Well sir…" Troy's training kicked in as he explained to Carlos the plan if something was to happen and what he would do to ensure Gabriella would be safe.

"Okay son you keep this between you and I. I don't want anyone else knowing this information. Clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Know Henry should have dropped off your suit go and get ready. I shall see you later on tonight Troy."

"Mr Montez." He said before leaving the office and heading to his room to prepare himself for tonight. His plan was a risk but he was hoping that nothing would go wrong and that he could drop Gabriella back off at her room at the end of the night. But knowing his luck… well as he said 'What luck?'

"Right Gabby…move yer ass now!" Mrs Potts said banging on the bathroom door. She was trying to hurry the young girl along so she would have plenty time to relax before her hairstylist arrived and make-up artiest. "Gabriella! Move it!"Gabriella had gotten so fed up with her maids voice and the bangs on the door that she had gotten out the shower.

"Aboot time tae young lady. 'Am now gettin' any younger yeh ken." Mrs Potts said handing her a smaller towel for her hair. Gabriella took the towel from her and wrapped it around her long curly hair.

"Mrs Potts you go on to much!" She said lying down on her bed.

"And you young lady spend too much time in that wee heed of yours that yeh forget wits goin' on around yeh. Yeh daft beggar" Gabriella let out a small chuckle. The women had some sayings.

"Dinny yeh laugh at meh! Yeh should hear all that patter yeh come up with." Mrs Potts said as she made herself busy around Gabriella's room. "Mrs Potts…" Gabriella said sitting up on her bed."Aye hen?"

"Do you think…that I will end up normal? Like with a normal life?" Gabriella asked her. Mrs Potts was slightly taken back by this. She rarely saw this side of Gabriella. Maybe once every blue moon. "Dey a 'hunk yeh'll have a normal life?" Gabriella nodded her head.

"Well chuk wit dey yeh hink' is normal fir Gabriella?" Mrs Potts asked.

"I don't know. I have lived like this all my life. Waited on, never have i ever lifted a finger or done anything on my own. I always have someone following me and watching my every move." Mrs Potts heart strings pulled she knew Gabriella hated parts of her life.

She had never had a normal childhood. She had never worked for anything. Everything was always handed to her. And she was never left alone for even a second. She was followed like a sheepdog followed sheep. She had no independence and she was suffocating in this house. Yet nothing could be done about it.

"Well…Yeh Miss Gabriella Montez will…even if it kills me…wit a normal life. 'Cause chuk although yeh have some attitude problems and yeh can be right nasty sometimes, yeh deserve to be happy and tae get ever 'hing yeh have ever wanted Gabby. Even if that mean I have tae come and see yeh in a one bedroom hoose. Then so be it. As long as yeh'r a happy lass then nout else matters." Mrs Potts was now sat next to Gabriella on her bed.

"Thanks MrsPotts. You know your alright." Gabriella said hugging her.

"Aye yeh'r alryt tae Gabby. And while were huggin' this oot. I have been informed to tell yeh Mr Bolton will be escorting yeh the night..and no as a bodyguard." Mrs Potts said as Gabriella pulled away from their hug.

"No!" Gabriella whined.

"Now Now! Yeh want this normal life yeh been talkin' aboot. Then yeh gotta compromise hen." She kissed Gabriella's forehead as there was a knock on the door.

"Right that will be yeh'r glam squad so I shall leave yehs all to it." Mrs Potts said letting in Gabirella's Glam team.

"See yeh later hen."

"Thanks Mrs Potts." Mrs Potts just smiled and headed off down the hall to get ready herself for tonight.

"Knock!Knock!" The voice came from Troy's door.

"Leon." Troy said turning around from where he was currently stood in his room.

"So I hear you are not on duty tonight?" Leon asked him.

"Yeah Carlos said I could have the night off." He lied. Carlos had not giving him the night off but no one else bar Troy, Maria, Mrs Potts and Gabriella knew that.

"Lucky for some. I am working all night keeping an eye on Gabriella." Leon said.

"Will working in a new recruit, don't think you have meet him yet Scott Davidson?"

"No. I have heard all the guys talking about him though. Today his first day?" Troy asked Leona as he fixed his tie.

"Yip. First day and he is on a big dinner. That is really important and will go down in his bosses history of success for the company." Leon said sitting down on a chair near the door. He placed his head in his hands and gave out a heavy sigh.

"I feel sorry for the boy he is only 19 and this is his first major employment." Leon said.

"Well he had got to learn some how right Bolton?" Leon asked Troy.

"Yeah got to learn sometime."

"Well got to go and make sure this young lad is shaking in his boots." Troy laughed.

"Yeah well never a dull moment around this family that is for sure." Troy said.

"Tell me about it. Especially if Gabriella Montez in involved." Troy once again laughed a Leon.

"Right must be getting on and leave you in peace to finish getting ready. Enjoy tonight Troy not many guards get the night off and then invited to the event by their boss. You must have done something right." Leon said leaving his room to go and find Scott.

"Yeah I am a Navy Seal that's what I did right." Troy said to himself and he gave himself one last look in the mirror.

"Yeh scrub up well lad." Mrs Potts said leaning on the door of his room.

"Mrs Potts." Troy said with a smile on his face.

"Still yeh need a women's touch son tah just look that wee bitty mare special." She said fixing his tie for him and brushing down his suit jacket. Troy just smiled at the old women.

"There yeh go sunshine. Yeh'r awl ready now." She said standing next to Troy looking at him in the mirror. Troy looked at her and smiled. The old house maid was wearing a black floor length dress with a black shawl. She did not look like the Mrs Potts he was used to seeing.

"Whit son, no used tah this side of gid auld Mrs Potts?" She asked him will laughing.

"You look nice Mrs Potts. Scrub up really well." Troy said looping his arm with hers as they made their way out to the reception of the house where everyone was gathering.

"Right dinny yeh git cheeky with me know! Or I'll clut yeh round the lug!" She said and Troy just smiled and lead her out.

"Make sare yeh look after her the night. I dinny want nothin' happenin' tae her."

"You got it Mrs Potts. Nothing will happen to her as long as I am around." Troy said to her as they reached the reception of the house.

"Fine then. That's awryt then. Yeh have a gid night son." She said letting go of his arm and making her way to where she was suppose to be.

"You too Mrs Potts."

"Ah Troy there you are." It was Maria Montez.

"Wooh Mrs Montez you look amazing." Troy said looking at her. She was in a floor length deep red dress. And she looked amazing in in.

"Thank you Troy. Gabriella is refusing to come out of her room and we have to leave know. Do you think you could go and get her and bring her in the other car. It's just we have to get there know." Maria said in a panic.

"Yeah Mrs Montez I can do that. We will meet you there." Troy said turning and going up the grand staircase.

"Thank you Troy. And it's Maria." She said with a smile.

"Right everyone listen up…"

Maria's voice was drowned out by the time he got to the top of the stairs and rounded to corner heading towards Gabriella's room.

"Look Miss Montez you have to come out of your room." Scott Davidson said through the door of the eighteen year olds door.

"No I don't. Especially for someone I don't even know nor have I heard of before in my life!" Gabriella shouted back.

"Miss Montez how many times must I say this. I am new to the home security and ma being walked through my training so I can become your full time bodyguard." Scott said leaning against the white doors.

"I already have one of those and I don't need another one." Gabriella said.

"That is not what your father thinks, or he wouldn't have hired me." Gabriella almost screamed, this guy was just pissing her off, and she wanted him to leave her alone. She had felt something off about him saying he was going to be her knew bodyguard and all that.

"Miss Montez I am to escort you tonight. So can you please open the door so I can do my job."

'Wait Troy was suppose to escort me tonight not some new recruit who had no idea what he was doing.'

Back downstairs

"Has anyone seen Davidson?" Leon asked amongst the security guards. They all shook their heads. Having no idea what the guy really looked like. Leon moved his head to scan the room but could see him no were.

"I told him to meet me here. So where the hell is he!" Leon said looking once again around the room and once again having no luck on locating Scott Davidson.

Back upstairs

"I said leave me alone."

"And I said open the door Miss Montez."

Troy had never heard the second voice before. He rounded the corner to see a young lad leaning against Gabriella's door and he was banging on it.

'This must be Scott Davidson.' Troy thought to himself.

"Just fuck off and leave me the hell alone."

"Miss Montez don't make me force this door open." Scott kicked the door with he left foot. Tory was taken back by his behaviour.

'Was he not suppose to be with Leon? Yes' - his brain answered him. 'Then why the hell is he trying to kick down Gabriella's door? No clue - his brain once again answered him.

"Gabriella I am your bodyguard I demand you open this door." He was pissed know and Troy could tell as his fists banged harder against the door making it shake.

"I want Troy." Gabriella's voice was so small, Troy could tell she was scared of whoever was trying to break down her door.

"Scott Davidson." Troy asked.

The young boy turned around. He must have been about 5,8 in height, and skinny and had not much mussel on him.

"Who wants to know?" He asked sizing Troy up while he tried to puff out his chest. It only made Troy laugh.

"I am sure Leon wants you with him tonight." Troy said and Scott frowned.

"I..I was just trying to help get Miss Montez out her room so that her family could get going." Scott was know rather nervous.

"That gives you no right to try and kick her door in…know does it?" Troy asked.

"No." Scott said.

"Davidson learn this quick when you are told to be somewhere by Leon be there. If I catch you trying to kick down Miss Montez door again I will report it." Troy said in a serious voice because he was serious. He was Gabriella's bodyguard and he was there to ensure no one bothered her or made her feel un-safe. Just how Davidson was making her feel.

"Do I make myself clear Davidson?" He asked him again.

"Yes." Scott said.

"Good know go and find Leon before you get in trouble and leave Miss Montez to me." Troy said.

"Good luck with that. The brat is not going to open that door for anyone." That for some reason made Troy's blood boil. This guy didn't even know her and yet he was calling her a brat.

"Davidson I suggest you keep your mouth shut and not make comments like that. If you value your job." Davidson just scould at Troy.

And waited to see if Gabriella would open the door for Troy. Troy turned away from him to the door and light chapped the door.

"Princess…" He had to say nothing else when the door cracked open for Troy to enter.

"Davidson, go and find Leon. Leave the important stuff the the big boys." Troy said opening the door and and walking into the room and closing the door behind him. Davidson huffed and stormed off down the hallway to find Leon.

AN: Hey guys this is the first out of probably three parts for this chapter, because it is a along chapter so there will be another two chapters and they will hopefully be up by the end of next week…not promising but they should be unless something comes up. And I am sorry for the delay in updates I have just been super busy with re-decorating my room, and sorting out things for christmas I have barley had two seconds to myself let alone been able to write a full chapter that makes sense.

So new character alert Scott Davidson watch out for him. And possibly new rival for Troy. Anyway please read and review guys. I am needing some more reviews for this story to keep me motivated in writing it. Every review you guys give is very much appreciated and I am thankful for you all reading my story and even more thankful to all those who review it and give me some feedback.
