Chapter 5 - Part 2
"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.
Troy looked around Gabriella's room after closing the door in Davidson's face and saw she was no there.
"Princess…" It had become Troy's nickname for her, at first she had been annoyed with it but after months of him calling her it, she got used to it.
"Princess…" He called out again looking around her room once more but there was no response. He moved around past her bed to check her closest to see if she was in there. He opened up the door to reveal a large walking in closet, with thousands of clothes, shoes and whatever else she had in there but no Gabriella. He closed the door and looked in her room again. He had heard her while being out in the hallway, now she was no where to be seen or even heard. Until he heard a bang come from the behind the door which led to her bathroom.
He saw light coming from crack at the bottom of the door and knew he had found he hiding spot. He walked over to the door and knocked gently on the door. Still there was no response from her even though he knew she was in there.
"Gabriella will you please open the door?" He asked her so softly and nicely that Gabriella could have mistaken him for someone else. Troy had never spoke to her that way before, ever. He had always been so sarcastic with her and joked about with her. And did everything in his power to annoy the hell out of her. So who was the person.
"Come on Princess it's just me…" Troy said leaning his forehead against the door.
Gabriella was sat on the counter top playing with a part of her dress which she was wearing. She could hear Troy wander around her room and asking out for her but she remained silent. She could still feel the wet streaks on her face from were the tears had fallen just moments ago. She looked at herself in the mirror that rested on the wall across form her. Her mascara had run and she had black smudges under her eyes. She let her dress fall back into place and moved to get some tissues.
Once she had reached the tissues she realised Troy knew where she was, because there was knock on the door.
"Gabriella will you please open the door?" She was shocked at how he had asked, so nicely. There was not a hint of sarcasm in his voice. It was genuine. Taking a deep breath she threw the tissue in the bin and re-touched her make-up, before she turned to face the door.
"Princess please open the door." She wanted to cry again. He was being too nice. This was not what she wanted to be feeling, especially for him. But he was not making it easy for her not to feel like this. I mean what guy stands outside your bathroom door begging you to come out and calling you princess, and you don't feel something for him.
'Snap out of it Gabby' Came from her brain, her heart was saying something different.
'Just open that door and give him or a hug. Let him see you are upset and let him hold you'
'No, your pride Gabriella. Your Pride' It was as if her brain and heart where playing devil and angel and she could decide which one was which.
"Your pride." She whispered.
"Princess please open the door." Even he was shocked by what he has said. Since when did he talk like this to her.
'Since someone was trying to break her door down Troy!' His brain shouted at him.
"Oh yeah." He whispered. He heard he shuffle around in the bathroom for a few minutes before he saw the handle on the bathroom door move. Indicating she was going to open the door. He moved his head off the door and stepped back . She opened the door fully giving him a few of her and what she was wearing. And he was taken back. She was in a floor length dark purple dress. It was strapless and hugged her in all the right places and flowed out at the bottom but was not a big puff. There was some minor details on the top part of the dress, gold details. Her hair was swept to the right side of her head and more curly than usual, she had a gold necklace on and some gold earrings. He notices the gold ring that matched on her right hand.
'God help me.' Was all Troy thought. She looked amazing.
'This girl is only eighteen Troy!' Was what he thought.
'But God is she hot.' "Troy." Gabriella snapped Troy out of his thoughts.
"Hey."Troy said looking her in the eyes.
"You okay?" he asked her. She just nodded her head and walked past him to collect her gold clutch off the bed.
"Just ignore Davidson, he's knew. The boy has no clue what he is doing." Troy said.
"Yeah he was pretty sure he was getting in here." Gabriella said looking at herself in the big mirror in her room.
"Princess there was no way he was getting in here okay?" Gabriella just nodded. That is not what it had sounded to Gabriella and she pointed to her door.
"Do you think you can get someone to get me a new door?" Gabriella asked in the softest voice. Troy turned to look at the door. There was a massive crack at the bottom of the door. The door had almost split in half. No wonder she had locked herself in the bathroom and was shaken up.
"Yeah Princess I will get someone to do it tomorrow."
"Thank you." That was the second time she had thanked him the first had been when he saved her from her dad a few months ago when she has snuck off to a club.
"Well you can thank me by walking out this door and going with me to this dinner." Troy said offering her his hesitated.
'Gabriella don't…don't do it. You are can walk without him holding your hand!.' Her brain screamed at her.
'It is just an arm.' He heart said to her and she smiled it was just an arm. And right now she needed something to hold onto. She smiled shyly at him and loop her arm through his. He was even surprised by this but gladly took her arm in his and lead her out her bedroom.
"Everyone has already left. So you don't have to worry about seeing the guy that was trying to kick your door down." Gabriella let out a sigh.
"But you will have to see him at the party. Sorry."
They had reached the bottom of the stairs and Henry was stood at the door waiting for them. Henry had just closed the door for everyone, when the new young recruit came running down the stairs.
"Where have you been son? Leon was looking all over for you." Henry said as the young boy stood in front of him.
"Oh I just ran into Bolton. We had a chat that is all." Davidson said to the old butler.
"Ah I see. Was he on his way to get Miss Montez?" Henry asked the new member of staff.
"Emm..I think so." Davidson said not really paying attention.
"Well I guess I should hurry on and catch up with Leon. Goodnight Henry." Davidson said almost running out the door. Henry just laughed typical new recruit with no training or no life experience.
"Ah Mrs Potts don't you look lovely." Henry said as Mrs Potts walked towards him.
"Why thank yeh Henry. Dinny look tab bad yeh'r self." Mrs Potts said reaching up to fix his tie and brush off his suit jacket.
"Right yeh wait fir those two and I'll meet yeh there." She kissed his check.
"Yes dear." he laughed. Henry Potts did have an amazing wife.
Henry stood at the front door for another ten or so minutes before the two people he was waiting for appeared at the top of the grand staircase. They where talking and arms linked as they descended the stairs. And for the first time since Troy began working for the Montez family, Henry saw Gabriella with a genuine smile on her face. Troy was talking to her as they both reached the bottom of the stairs and Gabriella was looking up at him with a shocked expression on her face. Henry heard them talking.
"Your sorry?" Gabriella stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
"Yeah. He's an even bigger ass than me." Gabriella laughed. He was trying to make her feel better and Gabriella knew it. And she kind of liked it.
"Miss Montez, Troy." Henry said getting their attention.
"Henry." Troy said and Gabriella smiled at him. Henry opened the door for them and encouraged them out it to the waiting car in the drive way.
"I am driving." Henry said holding the keys in his right hand.
"Okay. Lets go then." Troy said.
"Princess" He offered her his arm again and she took it and let him led her out the door so Henry could lock-up, as for the night the Montez estate would be empty. Troy opened up the back door of the Range-Rover and held her hand while she climbed into the back of the car, he went to close the door when Henry stopped him.
"You are a guest to this party Troy. A guest escort the bosses daughter. It's the backseat for you son." Henry said pulling the door open again allowing Troy to climb in beside Gabriella. After shutting the door Henry moved to the drivers door and hopped in and started up the car.
"Before I forget Henry can you get someone to look at Miss Montez door tomorrow? It seems someone had split the bottom of it" Troy asked Henry through the cars rearview mirror. Henry looked at both Troy and Gabriella through the mirror.
"Of course Troy. Anything for Miss Montez." Henry put the car into drive and pulled away from the house and headed for the main road.
"Thank you." Gabriella mouthed to Tory and he just sent her a wink.
'Yip there is definitely something between them. It is only a matter of time.' Henry thought to himself and smiled.
"What are you smiling at Henry?" Gabriella asked from her seat in the back of the car.
"Just the night Miss Montez. Just the night." Gabriella laughed and moved her hand and accidentally touched Troy's they both looked at each other and Gabriella moved her hand back.
'Oh yeah definitely something there.' Henry thought as the continued their journey to the hotel where the event was being held.
Troy was sure she had dragged him around the ballroom ten times, to meet and mingle with people. He had meet the Martinez family, they had seemed nice enough. Carlos and Samuel Martinez had been close friends for years. Their families had been doing business for as long as both companies had been around. Which had been along time - from what Troy had picked up in conversations. To many guests this union was a long time coming.
And everyone at the event was happy about it and it seemed Maria's hard planning work had worked out. And the bonus of the night was that Gabriella had not ran off and was still there. It was mainly because Troy had escorted her ever where even to the bathroom and back. She was not leaving this party unless he was. And he was not leaving until he got the all clear from Carlos his boss. So it looked as if she was suck but from what he could she did not seem to mind that.
"There yeh two are." It was the lovely Mrs and Gabriella looked up from the table they where sat at to see Mrs Potts making her way over to the table. She sat next to Gabriella on her left as Troy was on her right.
"Havin' fun?" She asked. "Hmm." Gabriella said looking around the room.
"Wit happened tae the door Gabby?" She was straight to the point.
"I have no clue…I went to change and when I came back i noticed this crack. I must have slammed the door to hard." Gabriella shook it off as if it was nothing but not without glancing at Troy.
"If yeh say so hen." Mrs Potts said taking a glass of wine off the tray a waiter had just brought over.
More time had passed and a three course meal had been eaten and speeches had been made. Troy once again stayed with Gabriella until Carlos wanted to see him over by the bar. Troy left Gabriella with Mrs Potts while he wandered off the the main bar.
"Mr Montez you wanted to see me?" Troy asked as he approached the bar. Where Carlos and Samuel stood with their wives.
"Ah Troy I hate to ask you this but Scott Davidson. The new guard. Well he had problems doing his surveillance round and we can't let anyone leave or move from this room until it is complete. Troy if I had anyone else I would use them but I don't." Carlos said holding onto Maria's waist.
"Don't worry Mr Montez I will go and do it know, just let me tell…" Carlos cut him off.
"No, no, no Davidson is going to keep Gabriella company until you get back." Troy tried so hard not to frown.
"Is that a problem Bolton?" Samuel asked.
"No sir not a problem at all." Troy said with a fake smile.
"Good I am sure my nephew is more that qualified to have Gabriella hang off his arm from an hour or two." Samuel said."Davidson is your…"
"Nephew? Yes." Samuel said.
"Oh. Well I best go and do this round. See you later." And with that Troy made his way to find Leon so he knew which part he had to go and check so he could get back to Gabriella as quickly as possible.
Gabriella was now sat by herself as Mrs Potts had gone off to find Henry as they would have to head back to the house soon. She watched as Troy spoke to her father and then he walked off and out of the ballroom. He had left he alone and had not told her where he was going.
"Typical. He leaves me here alone." Gabriella said to herself.
"No he left you in my charge." Gabriella spun around in her seat and nearly fell off it.
"So sorry about your door. I guess I just don't know my own strength." He said placing his hand on her arm. Gabriella tensed up at his touch, it did not feel like when she had touched Troy's hand by accident. It felt weird and almost a little creepy.
"It's okay." She edged back on her seat so his hand would fall of her arm, but it didn't.
"Now Princess." He emphasised 'Princess' and made Gabriella really uncomfortable. "I think we should have a dance and get to know each other a bit better." He said running his finger down the side of her arm.
"I think I would rather stay here and wait for Troy to get back." Gabriella insisted.
"I think I heard him say that he would not be back until later. So about that dance." She gave in. There was no way she was going to win. So she gave in and danced with him. His hand sat a bit to low for her liking and for someone else's liking.
"Thanks again Troy. It's only cause he is Mr Martinez nephew." Leon said to Troy.
"That he got the job?" Troy asked Leon, as they both watched the two of them dance.
"No. That he got to dance with her." Leon said placing his hand on Troy's shoulder.
"You get to dance with her because you are good at your job and because Carlos trusts you with his most prized possession." Leon said.
"Now go over there cut them off and get back to your night off. you have earned it kid." Leon patted his back and went back to his position with the other security guards. Troy made his way on the dance floor towards Gabriella and Davidson.
"Know Princess…I can call you Princess right…I mean Bolton does so I don't see why I can't." Scott said pulling her close to pushed on his chest to make him back away just a bit.
"He only calls me that because he is my bodyguard and is with me all the time." Gabriella said looking around the room for him but not seeing him anywhere. "Really…maybe it is something more on his part." Davidson said pulling her back.
"I..I…" Gabriella stuttered.
"Excuse me." Gabriella almost sighed in relief when she heard his voice. Scott turned to face Troy.
"I think you will find Gabriella and I where dancing Bolton why don't you come back later." Davidson said with that smirk on his face. That smirk drove Troy mad. He just wanted to smack the boy in his face when he gave him that look.
"Yeah. Well from what I can tell is that Gabriella was more pushing you a way than dancing with you. So why don't you run along and find some other rich girl you want to take advantage of." Davidson let go of Gabriella.
"Well I think that Princess…" Troy cringed and his bold almost boiled over. "…should decide who she wants to dance with." Troy looked at Gabriella.
"I think Davidson…that I want to stay with my 'Bodyguard' for the rest of the nigh." Gabriella stepped towards Troy but Scott grabbed her wrist.
Troy's reflexes where quick though, as quick as Davidson had her wrist Troy had his arm and pulled him out the way.
"Davidson first and only warning touch Gabriella again and you will be unable to walk and talk again. Do we understand each other?" Troy had never been more serious. Davidson removed his arm from Troy's death grip.
"And just you remember who my uncle is." And with that Davidson walked off but not before saying.
"Next time princess." and sent Gabriella a wink. Troy's fists curled and tightened. His knuckles went white he had curled them that tight.
"Hey." Gabriella said taking his hand and placing it on her waist.
"Dance with me?" She asked. He answered by pulling her close and and taking her hand in his and moved slowly on the dance floor.
"Where the hell were you?" Gabriella went back to her bratty self.
"Well Princess…I do work for your father and I am not off duty so I had some earns to run. And no I did not leave Davidson in charge of you that would be your dad." Troy said turning her around as the music kept playing.
"Oh." Gabriella said looking at him.
"What did you miss me?" He asked."Your better than Davidson that's for sure."
"Aww Gabriella I am touched. Really." He said placing on of his hands on his hearts.
"Shut up." She said hitting his solid chest. Troy laughed at her and pulled her closer.
"You know…" Gabriella said.
"Hmm…" Troy was looking around the room and saw all the security agents where moving around and rather too quickly for his liking.
"I have actually had a good night."
"What? With me?" Troy asked shocked.
"Yeah with you." She looked up at him.
"You know Troy your not that…" Troy cut her off by pulling he close to him and pulling her to the floor as gun shots rang out in the ballroom.
