It was now the middle of December and Gabriella had been at the hospital since September. She was finally in a routine of getting anywhere between fifteen and twenty patients a day. Her and Troy have been living together for about two weeks and it was going fine. It was only four days till Christmas and Gabriella was busy has ever.

"Dr. Montez!"

Gabriella cringed, "Dr. Warner, I was looking for you," she lied.

He walked up to her with a smile on his face that made her cringe even more, "I'm sure. So I was wondering if you had made a decision on my proposition of you going to dinner with me on Christmas Eve."

"Dr. Warner I told you I spend Christmas Eve with my family," he went to talk but she cut him off, "as well as Christmas Day."

"Come on Gabriella," he said while leaning up against the wall next to where she was standing, "You can't keep pushing this off. I know you want to go without me."

Gabriella put a fake smile on her face and was about to talk when Nurse Nancy cut her off, "Excuse me Dr. Montez your results are back for the patient in room four."

Gabriella looked at her confused because she didn't request any results for room four. In fact the patient in room four wasn't even hers. But she smiled and walked towards her, "thank you so much." She turned towards Dr. Warner, "sorry but this is really important."

She walked into room four while reading the chart, there was nothing there, but she looked up and saw Sara looking at her, "Can I help you Dr. Montez?" she asked with some amusement.

"Yeah I have your results that you asked for," Gabriella said with a smile.

"I didn't ask for any results for this patient," Sara said confused.

"I know but Dr. Warner is still staring at me so we are going to pretend that you did." She walked over to her and handed her the chart and smiled at the older lady laying on the bed. "Best of luck."

"Why don't you just tell him you and Troy are together?"

"Because do you remember the first day here, when he decided to give me like twenty patients at once, in different corners of this floor?"

"Oh, good point." Sara turned back to the patient while Gabriella left.

Gabriella walked out of the room and saw Dr. Warner was standing there talking to Nancy.

"Room four isn't her room Nurse," he said with a tone that made anyone want to punch him in the face.

"I am sorry I mix them up all the time, it won't happen again."

"It better not," he turned towards Gabriella with a condescending smile, "Don't worry I handled the mistake."

Gabriella just stared at him, "I can handle myself thank you very much. And wasn't Nancy's fault my name was on the chart."

She turned towards Nancy, who was sitting at the station and started looking over her other charts. She was standing there for twenty minutes when she felt someone pinch her butt, "Hey," she whipped around and saw Troy standing there with an innocent smile on his face.

"Hello Dr. Montez."

"Dr. Bolton," she said dryly, "what are you doing down here?"

"First, don't look so excited about seeing me, and secondly I was wondering what my girlfriend wanted for dinner because I am leaving now."

Gabriella narrowed her eyes, "why are you leaving now?"

Troy just rocked on his feet, "can you ask my girlfriend what she wants for dinner so I can make it up for having to work a night shift tonight."

"Again! Troy that's three nights in a row!"

Troy grabbed her arm and dragged her to the on-call room down the hall, "I know babe, I know, but that's because that she-devil I call a boss keeps putting me at morning surgeries. I told her that was my last preference but she doesn't care." He said while sitting on one of the beds in the room.

Gabriella looked away from clearly upset that he had to work later that night, "I really don't like her."

Troy smiled at her before pulling her towards him, "I know," he wrapped his arms around her. "But I promise to make it up to you tonight, before I leave."

Gabriella looked down at him, "how?" she said with a pout on her face.

"Well, since I get off now I was planning on going food shopping and making you anything you want for dinner, I was planning on finally getting that hair cut you have been asking me to get,"

"Really?" she asked while raking her hands through his hair.

He smiled up at her, "Yeah, I know how much you liked that high tight."

"What else are you going to do to make it up to me?"

He let out a little chuckle and pulled her down so she was sitting on his lap, "I was going to make you a bubble bath,"

"Are you going to be joining me?"

"If that is what you want then yes I will join you."

"I'll let you know."

Troy laughed, "Okay, then after that I was planning on making love to yo…"

"you were going to make love to me and then leave?" she asked while looking at him.

"Well I can't stay after."

"if you make love to me tonight, I am not letting you leave."

"Gabriella,"

"Don't Gabriella me, I am serious. Maybe if I let you in the bath with me we'll see, but you are not having sex with me in our bed and then leaving." She said standing up.

"Babe wait," Troy said while grabbing her arm. "Please don't be mad at me. I am so sorry that I have to work tonight but you know I can't say no. This is for a surgery, it's my job, and you know that if I had it my way I would be able to make love to all night tonight and every night that we are together."

"I am not mad at you, I'm mad at the situation."

"I know," he stood up and grabbed her face in his hands, "but I promise I am going to make it up to you." He leaned in and kissed her lips gently, "I promise."

She leaned up and kissed him again while putting her hands on his sides. Troy ran his tongue along her bottom lip and she opened her mouth automatically. Their tongues battled while they stood there in the on-call room.

"Hey Gabrie… oh shit, my bad."

Troy and Gabriella pulled apart quickly and turned towards Sara who was now facing the door, "It's fine Sara, Troy was just leaving anyways."

Sara slowly started to turn back around, "you both have all your clothes on right?"

Troy rolled his eyes, "yes Sara, it was just a kiss." He turned towards Gabriella, "what do you want for dinner?"

"I don't know but your girlfriend wouldn't mind some prime rib, mashed potatoes, corn, and a red wine."

Troy smiled at her, "oh she would, would she?"

"yes she would, and I have to get back to work, so I will see you tomorrow, Dr. Bolton," she tried to walk away but Troy grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him and gave her a passionate kiss on her lips before pulling back.

"I will see you later Dr. Montez." He then left the room, but said goodbye to Sara first.

Sara looked at Gabriella, "Damn he is hot. And I have this weird jealousy thing about not being you later on tonight, and I don't even know what he was talking about."

Gabriella sat down on the bed, "He has to work another night shift so he is here when a surgery starts tomorrow morning."

"Damn that sucks," Sara said sitting on the bed across from Gabriella.

"Yeah but he said he was going to make it up to me with dinner and a bubble bath."

"What no sex?"

Gabriella smiled a little, "no he told me he was going to make love to me before he had to leave, but I told him that if he made love to me than I wasn't going to let him leave."

"Man that would be scandalous if that happened, and then it would get out officially that you two were together."

"Please everyone besides Warner knows we are together. And that's bitch DeSantis that is making him work these night shifs."

"I heard that she likes Troy, and she recently found out that you two were together so she is doing this to keep you two apart at night."

"What so we can't have sex?"

Sara shrugged a little, "I guess."

Gabriella cringed a little, "who did you hear this from?"

"Dr. Rooney. He works with Troy."

Gabriella smiled at her, "and how did you meet this Dr. Rooney?"

Sara smiled back, "he was the surgeon who came down and brought one of patients up there a couple weeks ago."

"so you two are dating now?"

Sara smiled again while standing, "No Dr. Montez you and are the only one dating a colleague."

Gabriella stood up, "oh please. You seriously think me and Troy are the only two people in this entire hospital that are together in any way."

"Probably not, but not every female was in love with the male part of those relationships."

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "oh please."

Gabriella went through her day as she does most; avoiding Dr. Warner has much as possible. Now she was heading home and today, just like the last three days, she was taking the subway and train. She didn't really mind because that was how she got back and forth when she first started working at the hospital but since her and Troy started dating, she got use to having Troy drive them in. She walked out of the doors to the ER, it was closest to the subway, when she saw Troy leaning up against the hood of his car looking at his phone.

"Excuse me sir you're going to have to move your car." She said with a stern voice.

"Oh I'm wai…" as soon as he looked up and saw it was Gabriella he stopped apologizing. "I'm waiting for my girlfriend." This time he said with an attitude that made Gabriella smile.

"I don't care if you are waiting for the pope, this is for emergency vehicles only." She started walking over to him.

He just stared at her, "Well that's too bad because I'm not moving unti…"

"Bolton! Move your car, you know that this only for emergency vehicles." They turned to see Dr. Warner standing there with a smirk on his face. "And don't even try asking her out Bolton, she hasn't even said yes to me."

Troy just smiled, "actually I had to meet my grandmother here, the ambulance brought her in not too long ago, and I got stuck in traffic. Dr. Montez said she would move my car for me."

Gabriella looked at Troy with concern, "Is she okay?"

Troy looked at her again, "Yeah they think she might have broke her hip."

Dr. Warner looked at the two of them, "how did you talk to her if I saw her leave right before me?"

They looked at Dr. Warner, "I have her cell phone number."

Dr. Warner looked at Gabriella, whose eyes had gone wide, "I thought you said that you don't give your number to colleagues."

"She didn't give it to me, my grandmother lives next door to her and she has her number in case of emergencies and I stole it off the fridge before I left."

Dr. Warner looked between of them not sure what to believe, "oh okay. Well then you better move your car Bolton before another ambulance comes." With that he walked back into the ER has Troy turned to walk back around his car.

"Troy isn't your grandmother here? Why are you getting back in your car?"

Troy looked at her and smiled, "my grandmother is not here. She is fine. I had to think of something quickly and that was the first thing that popped into my head."

Gabriella stood there and glared at him, "I actually thought that your grandmother was hurt! Wait till I tell her that you used her getting hurt as a way to get out of getting trouble for doing something that is illegal." She said has she got in his car and buckled up and just stared forward.

Troy smiled and got back into his car, and just stared at her.

"What?" she asked without looking at him.

"You didn't even notice my hair cut."

She glanced over at him before quickly turning back to looking forward.

Troy smiled again, "what do you think of it? I decided to keep the top and just shave the sides, I know how you like to have something to grab onto."

"You look like Macklemore."

Troy smiled again and turned on the car, "I was going for more like a David Beckham kind of look, I know I have to have the top grow a little more, and I didn't have them shave the sides has short as Macklemore has." He looked over at her has he had stopped at a red light, "Do you like?"

"It looks better on Macklemore."

Troy just laughed, "That's good cause like I said I'm going for a David Beckham look."

"Well it looks better on him too."

Troy looked over at her again, "I didn't mean for you to be upset with me, I just tried to make him feel guilty for being an ass. I'm sorry."

Troy pulled up in front of their apartment and Gabriella just got out without saying anything. Troy just sighed and got out. As he walked to their door he saw Gabriella just standing by the door looking at the kitchen, "what's wrong?"

Gabriella just turned around with tears in her eyes and hugged him. Troy had no idea what was wrong he just wrapped his arms around her, "What's wrong baby?"

"I don't know."

Troy looked even more confused than he did a second ago, "what do you mean?"

"I don't know why I was mad at you, and then I come home and you have this dinner and candles and wine."

Troy smiled at her, "baby I told you I was making dinner for you, and you asked for the wine."

"I know." She just continued to cry while hugging Troy.

"How about we go in and sit down, okay? And I'll grab the plates and we can relax and eat and then you can take your bath okay?"

She just nodded her head and sat down at the table. They enjoyed their dinner and a had a glass of wine each before Troy got up and cleared the table before going and setting up Gabriella's bath. She followed him into the bathroom and started to take her clothes off before Troy stopped her, "Um, Troy I have to take my clothes for the bath."

He smiled at her before starting to lift her shirt off, "I know, but I wanted to undress you." He leaned in and kissed her softly and then lifted her undershirt off as well. He started to kiss down her neck while untying the string on her scrub pants. She let out a soft moan has he sucked on the spot just beneath her ear. He brought down her pants and she stood there in just her bra and underwear. He moved his kisses to her collarbone as he unclipped her bra and slowly pulled the straps down her arms.

"is this… your... way… of trying… to convince me… to let you… join me?" she was trying to stop herself from letting out the moan he was trying to make her voice.

He smiled has he kissed around her right breast, finally taking her underwear off has well, leaving her naked. He grabbed her hips and put her up on the counter next to the sink, "is it working?"

"Ye… oh god." He took her right nipple into her mouth and rolled his tongue of it.

"Good," he pulled away and took his shirt off and quickly took his jeans off too. He wasn't wearing any underwear.

Gabriella's eyes went wide, "you haven't been wearing underwear this entire time?"

Troy smirked, "Well I figured none of the guys in any of the porn I have ever watched wear them so why should I?"

"Maybe because you're not a porn star," she said with smile as he stepped closer to her.

"Yeah but it's one less thing I have to take off tonight," he kissed her again as he ran his hands down her body.

"Mmm, Troy."

He smiled and picked her up quickly and placed her in the tub. He got in behind her and she went to turn around, "No stay." He kissed the back of her neck and brought her hands to her core.

"Please Troy."

"Patience baby," he kissed the side of her neck as she leaned back against him. He ran his finger along her folds cause her moan and slightly buck her hips towards his hand. He slowly entered a finger and kept it still. He kissed along her shoulder and brought his left hand up to grab her left breast.

"Troy please,"

"Please what?" he started to message her left breast and rub his index finger over her nipple.

"Oh god… please mover your hand or I'm going t… oh," she moaned.

He started to slowly pump his finger in and out, "You're going to what?"

"More please."

He went back to sucking her neck has he entered a second finger and started to pump faster, curling his finger just right to hit the bundle of nerves within her perfectly.

"Troy!"

He smirked has he brought his other hand down to rub her clit, making her squirm. He could feel her clinch around his fingers so he entered another one and pumped harder. "Come on baby, cum for me."

Gabriella's head fell back against his shoulder has her walls clinched again and she let out a moan as she hit her orgasm. Her body relaxed as she finished, but Troy kept his fingers inside her.

He kissed the side of her face, letting her come down a little bit before he started moving his fingers inside of her again.

"Oh Troy,"

"What's up baby?" he asked as he brought his left hand up to grab her right breast this time.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Gabriella brought her right hand behind her and grabbed his penis and started to rub up and down.

"Oh baby, this is suppose to be about you." Troy said while moaning into her neck.

"I can feel how hard you," she said while turning around causing Troy to pull his hands away from her. She whimpered a little but couldn't complain because it was her own doing. She kissed him hard on the lips pushing her tongue into his month starting a battle between their tongues.

"Baby if you keep doing this I won't last."

Gabriella kissed him again before putting her legs on either side of him and slowly sinking down on to him. They both let out a moan has she started to move above him. She started to move faster and brought her hands to Troy's hair before grabbing it gently.

"I told you liked pulling it," he said with a smirk has he started to lift his hips to meet her.

"Shut up," she said she pulled it harder.

With Troy's help she was able to move faster.

"Oh baby I'm so close," Troy moaned as he brought her left nipple into his mouth.

"Oh Troy, me too, so close," she let out a moan and tried to move fast but it wasn't helping.

Troy could tell she was getting frustrated so he brought his right hand around and started to rub her clit again.

"Oh Troy," Gabriella let out a moan as her walls tightened around Troy as she reached her second orgasm.

Shortly after Troy reached his peak as well and he came inside of her.

"I love you Troy," she said has she placed her head on Troy's chest.

"I love you too baby," he said as he slide down a little more so that he was laying down more and she stayed on his chest.

They stayed like that for several minutes, not talking just listening to each other breath, or listening to Troy's heart beat.

"Do you really have to go?"

She shook a little has Troy let out a small laugh, "Yeah unfortunately."

Gabriella sat up which caused Troy to moan, "Easy baby I'm still inside you." He sat up a little.

"Sorry," she sat up, causing him to leave the warmth of her core, before sitting back down on his lap. "Today Sara told me that Dr. Rooney told her that the devil herself likes you and that's why she keeps giving you night shifts."

Troy looked disgusted, "That's gross. When she first started working at that hospital she looked at me and said 'Don't think that you will get special treatment from me, your good looks meaning nothing to me' so I always figured that she wasn't one of the women that had a thing for me."

"Well according to Dr. Rooney, whoever that is, she has a thing for you." No jealously present in her tone, just stating a fact.

"Roons works with me. She hates him as much as she hates me."

"Well I don't think she hates you, I think she wishes she was me in that activity we just took part of." She smiled at him.

"That's so gross, she is like twenty years older me."

Gabriella giggled at him, "she's only like nine years older than you Troy."

"Whatever it's still gross." He smiled at her before leaning up and giving her a kiss, "what do you say we get up dry off and then cuddle until I have to leave? Maybe take a little nap?"

Gabriella pouted, "What time do you have to leave?"

Troy kissed her pouted lips, "my shift starts at three so I'll probably leave here around two-thirty."

"So that gives us about six hours to nap,"

"Unless you want to go another round," he said with a smirk on his face.

"What did I tell you would happen if we had sex in our bed?"

Troy sighed, "you won't let me leave."

"And I mean it." She said while standing up and grabbing her towel before drying herself off. She turned to see Troy drying himself off as well before turning and unplugging the drain to let the water out. She went into their bedroom and laid down in bed making sure she was completely dry first.

Troy walked into the room with a towel around his waist and smiled, "Wait this is going to be naked cuddling?"

Gabriella just smiled up at him.

"Really?" he asked excited. "But you never want to naked cuddle unless it's right after sex." He said has he pulled his towel away and walked towards the bed naked. "What's changed your mind?"

"Are you really going to question it or are you going to join me?"

Troy got in the bed quickly, "Oh I'm joining you." He kissed her shoulder has he pulled her back towards his front. "I love you." He said his he kissed her shoulder again.

Gabriella closed her eyes and smiled, "I love you too. And Troy you have to promise to wake me before you leave for work?"

"Okay I promise."

"You said that last night."

He smiled, "Yeah well you looked like an angel last night."

"I don't care, I want to say goodbye tonight."

"Alright."

They fell asleep for a couple of hours until Troy's alarm went off at 1:45. He groaned and rolled over to turn it off before getting up and grabbing a pair of boxers. He jumped into the shower quickly, put the boxers on and went into the kitchen. He grabbed a bowl, the box of lucky charms, and the milk from the fridge. He grabbed a handle full of the cereal first and out of the corner of his eye he saw Gabriella's birth control pills. He rolled his eyes and picked them up and brought them to their room. He looked at them and noticed that according to them she should be on the third day of her period. His eyes went wide.

Hopefully this makes up for it being a week late… but at least it was quicker than the last one right?
