Gabriella watched Troy fade in distance as the train pushed forward, letting out a sigh she turned to look up at the trains next stop. She didn't know what to do now, where to go or even who she could call. Her parents were out of the question, Chad would only tell Troy where she was and Antony … Gabriella let out a sigh as she slumped down into her seat. She had no one.

"Nice dress," said an older woman as she gathered her bag closer to her to make room for Gabriella.

"Thank you," Gabriella looked down at the change in her hand, "do you know where I can find a payphone?"

"My," the older woman thought for a moment. "I haven't seen a payphone in … ages." She said looking around the train at the other passengers. "Do you want to use my cell phone?"

Gabriella shook her head and looked back out the window sinking back into her chair. Crossing her arms she slipped a hand through her hair and let out breath.

Mean while Troy tilted his head back as he listened to Chad voice on the other end of the phone. "No you explain it to me Troy, how do you lose a person!" Chad voice became louder and Troy pulled the phone from his ear.

"We got into a small argument," Troy responded. "She got on a train."

"What did you do!"

Troy arched his brows. "What did I do?" he let out a laugh, "Are we suddenly overlooking everything she's done?"

"You hired her to be your fake wife remember!" Chad let out a groan, "If I recall the direct deal was do this or else!"

"You and I both know I wouldn't have fired her." Troy said with an annoyed tone.

"But did she?" Chad let out a sign, "She's only married to you because she had no choice, just like when she took the Job Anthony gave her, she didn't have a choice."

Troy rolled his eyes and he fell on to the bed. "We're wasting time." Troy looked at the clock, four hours had gone by. "We have to find her."

"I don't know what you want me to do, I'm in Los Angeles."

Troy rubbed his eyes, "It's fine," he said letting out a sigh, "I'll call her parents again and then I drive around, she has to be somewhere." Troy said gathering his things.

"Good while you're at it work on your intimacy issues."Chad said.

"Bitch, Bitch, bitch." Troy hit the end button on his phone and opened the door.

Gabriella shivered as she looked into out into the vast darkness before her. She was sitting on the stairs to the hotel. Wiping a tear from her check she sniffled as she watched the door man walked by.

He smiled kindly at her, "Are you sure there isn't anything I can do?"

Gabriella nodded and let out a sigh "I'm fine,"

The man paused for a moment and then removed his coat, "Here at least stay warm." He said draping his coat over her shoulders.

"Thank you," Gabriella said snuggling inside it, "I've give it back before I go inside."

"It's alright, I trust you Mrs. Bolton," the man said with a smile.

"If only I could get my husband to trust me," she mumbled. "Then again I wouldn't trust me either."

"Looking at our reflection through the mirror of our marriage can be hard to take." He said with small grin.

Gabriella smiled, "It's my past that's the problem."

"It will be okay Mrs. Bolton, just remember poor decisions in the past do not prevent future good decisions. It's never too late to start doing what is right." he was quite for a moment. "You both could take that to heart."

Gabriella smiled a little; a feeling of someone behind her made her glance to her side. Just as the door man left she noticed a pair of dark shoes standing there. "He's right, you know?"

Gabriella rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.

"Were you planning on coming up?"

Gabriella looked up at Troy the back out into the street, her dark hair shifting over her shoulder. "Didn't seem like there was a reason to,"

Troy let out a sigh and shifted his weight. "So you rather I just think of all the things that could happen to you and feel guilty."

Gabriella let out a laugh, "I survived 26 years without you Troy I can get home by train just fine."

Troy chuckled himself and then let out a sigh as he sat down beside her. "So you're sitting out here in the cold because?"

"Because it's better than being in a hotel room with some who is cold," Gabriella said with a shrug.

Troy chuckled a bit and then lifted a small black box out in front of her. "I brought this for you,"

"What is it?" Gabriella said looking at the box.

"I brought it the day before we left on the tour," Troy said with a shrug. "Remember when you said we could be friends?"

"I said that?" Gabriella said looking at the box. "What's in there?"

"Open it and find out?" he said holding it up higher, "Come on what do you have to lose."

Gabriella rolled her eyes and took the box from his hands "This better not be a wedding ring. I am not into that cheesy crap." Gabriella opened the box and she took a deep breath. "Troy,"

"You said you'd never gotten flowers before."

Gabriella looked at ruby sparkles of the red rose that hung on a white gold chain. The stem was painted green the thorns we brown. Her eyes traveled back up to the ruby, it was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. "This must have cost-"

"Yeah it did," Troy smirked and he took the box from her hand to remove the chain from the box. Getting up he came from behind her.

"Troy, I can't take this from you."

"Who said anything about taking," Troy said with a smile as he closed he clasp and then reached to adjust her hair. His hand reach down to pull the rose forward letting it rest on her heart. "I'm giving this to you,"

"Well then I can't accept it."Gabriella turned to face him her brown eyes looking up into his blue eyes.

Troy smiled soft as his eyes looked into hers and then slowly fell to her lips. "Against all my better judgment I can't help but only have one thing to say."

"What's that?" Gabriella said looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

Troy looked at her brown eyes, his grin growing "I love you,"

Gabriella frowned "You're never going to forgive me."

"I do," Troy said with a raised brow.

"No I've messed up your campaign, I went behind your back, I made a deal with-" Gabriella was cut off by Troy's hand placed over her lips.

"What you did with Anthony, and the secrets.." Troy hand came down and he nodded as his eyes glance off then came back to her. "It's okay."

"It's too much to forgive Troy,"

"Well I'm sorry," Troy said with a smirk, "But I just did,"

"You can't" Gabriella said shaking her head.

Troy reached out bringing his lips close to hers. "I just did." He said in a whisper. "And you're going to have to just live with that, because as far as I'm concerned you're not going anywhere."

Gabriella gasped at the same time his lips came down on hers, she felt dizzy and short of breath. It was like the earth can come to a stop and momentum was keeping at her going and at this moment she was crashing into Troy.

Together they stood and Troy broke the kiss pulling her hand and leading her back inside. Troy removed her coat and handed it back to the door man. "I got it from here," he said with a smile and then with a hand on the small of her back he led her into the elevator. Once the door closed he pulled her closer, "Your beautiful," he said looking at her his lips tugged in a smile.

Gabriella felt the blush on her cheeks, "I can't believe this is happening." she said looking around the elevator.

"Oh yeah, nifty little invention the elevator, you know it also goes down?" he said with a chuckle.

Gabriella gave him a playful shove. "Don't ruin the moment."

Troy chuckled and pulled her close as the doors open he lifted her up.

"Troy?" she said with a laugh as he carried her to their door, struggling just a little he reached into his pocket and pulled out the key to the room. "Put me down."

"Not yet," he said carrying her into the room, as soon as he kicked the door shut he slowly moved to the bed. Placing her on as if she we're to break. Then Troy reached for her bringing her close pressing his lips against hers. His hands pulled at the strings of her dress pulling one shoulder strap down and the letting the other fall. Her hands dropped the shoes and purse she been holding and instead intertwined with his hands, coming together like puzzle pieces of modern art. His lips trailed down her chin to her neck and Gabriella let out a moan. Troy took her hands in his holding them up against the above her head as she lowered to the bed, leaving her helpless against him, her breathing shallow as she let him have his way with her.

Reaching under the dress Troy slowly pulled her panties down his eyes never leaving hers. Gabriella felt her inside shaking, her hands were trembling, and she could feel herself beginning to sweat. "Troy-"

His lips covered hers and she felt the fabric of her underwear slide down her legs, Troy held them out and let them fall to floor. His hands were on her hips and she used the freedom of her own hands to begin unbuttoning his shirt. Gabriella pushed his shirt down his arms admiring the muscles showing through his muscle t.

"You can say stop at anytime." He said before placing a soft kiss on her lips. His hands reached into her hair feeling the strands against his fingers on his knuckles and against his skin. He slowly brought her down mounting the bed himself and hovering over her as she moved back to accommodate him.

Gabriella let out a moan as he came back up her legs kissing every inch of them, skipping to her stomach, her chest, her neck, all the way until he could reach her lips. Reaching his hand down between them he found her wet entrance with his fingers and began to rub slowly before dipping his finger inside her.

Gabriella let out a small moan as she arched underneath him, wanting to feel more wanting to be against him. Gabriella lifted her hand so it was gripping his shoulder. She could feel the second finger slide in, her eyes fluttered shut and braced herself as he penetrated her with his fingers. Suddenly he stopped, Gabriella felt herself get cold as the weight shift off of her. Was that it? Had he changed his mind? Gabriella opened her eyes to and leaned up to find him rolling a condom over his shaft. She closed her eyes again, this was going to happen. She could feel her courage slipping, her hand trembling even more.

Troy came back over her his body generating heat and safety as she took hold of one of his arms. "I'm nervous," she mumbled.

"Want me to stop?" Troy stilled, looking down at her with understanding. "We can just lay here, we don't have to do anything."

"No," Gabriella leaned up so she was close to his lips. "I want to feel you, I want you to have me." She said pulling her lips away slightly and leading him to her.

Troy pulled back before he fell forward. "Are you sure?" Troy asked keeping himself at a distance in case she did want him to stop.

"I'm sure," Gabriella smiled and Troy felt his heart almost stop. She was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen, her hair sprawled out on pillows, the moonlight that streamed into the room catching in her eyes.

"You're so beautiful," Troy whispered, placing a small kiss on her lips. Gabriella's eyes fluttered shut as she wrapped her arms around him.

Slowly with his right hand he took hold of himself and positioned himself at her entrance. After this moment nothing would be the same. He was doing more than just having sex with woman, more than just taking Gabriella virginity or even consummating their marriage. He was going to make love to his wife. "Relax," he said in low voice, he smiled as he felt her tense up underneath him. "I'm not going to hurt you," He could feel her bracing herself, slowly he brought his lips on hers kissing her deeply distracting her with a passionate kiss.

She felt it, he was inside her, he slipped in and she could feel her muscles throb as they surrounded him. Then she felt a slight pinch, a rip, faint but still pact with that reminded that she was indeed, a virgin. The sharp pain made her gasp and Troy slowly pulled out, "Are you alright?"

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, keep going," she said reaching her hands up to slither around his neck. She felt him reenter her this time a little less pain, he pulled out again and Gabriella wiggled a little underneath him. This time when he came back in she felt a different feeling, she felt herself stretching, he was going deeper, he was in her completely hitting what felt like a wall. She moaned a little as she adjusted herself.

She was tight, wet, warm and he was struggling to hold back. He pulled out again slowly and then reentered her. She was moving underneath him, she'd wrapped a leg around him and he was lost in her trying to remain in a slow pace.

"Faster," she said in husky breath, "I want to feel it." Her brown eyes looked up at him "I'll be alright," she said reassuringly.

Troy moved a bit faster coming in and out of her with a steady rhythm, "Oh my god," he mumbled as he brace himself better, she was like a glove to his hand and that was an understatement, their body's clicked when he moved she moved and her curves allowed him to be where he wanted to touch her as he wanted. Troy moved faster the bed at this point was shifting with a faint squeak beneath them.

"Troy," Gabriella whispered as she moved her hand through his hair, she was feeling something, it was like a ball of tingles building up inside her, her body wanted to be touch all over her inside wanted him deeper and she wanted him to be closer to her. She wanted his skin against hers and at the motion of pulling him closer he came to her. The rubbing sensation of slick bodies burning into one flame.

"Gabriella, I…" Troy gritted his teeth pausing as he waited for his own orgasm to retreat. He wanted her to feel as much as she could before submitting to his own defeat.

"Troy," she said moving her hips, "Don't hold back," she pulled at him and she came up to his level, Troy hands came around her holding her up on his bended knees he moved inside her deeper than before.

In the new position Gabriella held on to him tighter she could feel him more rubbing against her, the trickle of pleasure strong now that he was moving in and out of her at this angle. "Oh my god," Gabriella arched her head back, her breast coming up to his lips.

Troy moaned as he brought the bra down exposing her nipple to him, he took it in his mouth as they continued to move. Gabriella moans got more and more intense, his own orgasm coming back to him, he could feel it rising inside him, he could feel her beginning to tremble. "Cum for me," he said in low whisper, "I want you to cum for me,"

Gabriella mouth fell open as he moved faster, she could feel it, it was right there, that tingle, the wave of sensations rippling through her she could feel it, her hands pressing into him as she held on, letting her inside shake and her body tremble.

Troy kept going his own orgasm close, he wasn't going to stop this time. Troy brought his hand up bringing her head down her lips reach able and in that moment, that moment he could feel his release and her own body spasm around him. Their lips touched fighting for dominance, her lips parting her tongue moving quickly to taste his. They both slowly came to a stop.

"Wow," Gabriella was the first to say anything after moments went by. "That was.."

Troy grinned as she let out a sigh, coming back down he laid her gently on the bed and came down beside her to rest his own body. Lifting the covers for them they both got underneath and snuggled against each other. His breathing was quick as he felt her rest besides him. His arm draped over her, fitting perfectly along her curves. His eyes slowly began to shut and his lips naturally fell into a grin as he slipped further into slumber.
