-Chapter 6-
(January 2010. – Los Angeles, California)
"Should I be jealous?" Troy's voice came through the receiving end of Gabriella's diamond and red iPhone as she rode in the passenger side of Sharpay's new Christmas present, an Alpine White 2011 ActiveHybrid 750Li BMW.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Handsome," Gabriella replied as innocently as she could, causing Sharpay to snicker from the driver's seat and Martha, Taylor, and Kelsi in the back to snicker also.
"Sure you don't," she heard him reply and she could just imagine him rolling his blue eyes, "So what's this, this, this…oh, what the hell is his name, Brie?"
"I have no idea what or who you're talking about," Gabriella replied, keeping up her act.
"Damn it," she heard him mutter causing her to smirk, knowing that by not answering his question about whose name he was trying to find, he couldn't catch her in her innocent act. "So should I?"
"Still have no idea what you're talking about, Babe," Gabriella replied as Sharpay turned on her turn signal and pulled into their destination when she had the chance to make a safe turn. "Listen, we just pulled up to the gym so, I'll talk to you when we get home. Bye!"
"That was mean, Brie-Ella," Sharpay informed her best friend as she shut off the car after parking.
"First, you play innocent," Taylor started to list off, to back up Sharpay's statement.
"Second, you didn't fall for his trick," Kelsi listed off reason number two.
"Third, hanging up without an 'I love you' or waiting for his reply," Martha replied as they all unbuckled and climbed out of the car with their handbags and Sharpay's pink and diamond iPhone in her hand after unplugging it from the stereo.
"Hey, don't gang up on me!" Gabriella protested as they all went to the trunk of the car to grab their duffle bags. "You guys would have done the same, in fact you guys did! Plenty of times in high school and even now!"
"Damn it, she got us," the four mumbled causing America's Sweetheart to smirk and thinking to herself: Team Montez – 1, Team Everyone Else – Zip.
Before she could reply, though they were suddenly bombarded with paparazzi, their cameras, annoying questions, headache causing flashes, and grabby hands.
"Alright, give the ladies some space," Brett said, he along with the rest of the Secret Service Agents quickly running up and backing the paparazzi up from the girls.
"You heard 'em, back up! NOW!" Roxy said with force.
"GABRIELLA, WHEN'S THE WEDDING?
"GABRIELLA, ONE SMILE PLEASE!"
"GABRIELLA, ARE THE LAKERS GOING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP?"
"SHARPAY, IS ZEKE GONNA PLAY IN THE NBA WITH CHAD DANFORTH AND TROY BOLTON?"
"MARTHA, ARE YOU AND RYAN ENGAGED?"
"SHARPAY, ARE YOU AND ZEKE?"
"TAYLOR, IS IT TRUE YOU AND CHAD ELOPED?"
"KELSI NIELSEN, ONE PICTURE WITH YOUR BEST FRIENDS!"
"KELSI, ARE YOU SIGNING ON TO BE A COMPOSER FOR HOLLYWOOD RECORDS?"
"SHARPAY!"
"SHAR-ELLA!"
"GAB –" The paparazzi's annoying questions and flashes stopped once the Secret Service Agents got the girls into the building.
"Thank God," Gabriella sighed happily as she walked towards the receptionist desk in the gym's lobby area. "Hey, Molly."
"Gabriella, Sweetie, you're back," Molly, a middle-aged women, replied with a bright smile and coming out from behind the desk to embrace the girl. "Congratulations, Darling! And you tell that Darling fiancé of yours that I said the same thing goes for him, and that he needs to drop by here more often because I don't care if you guys have your own gym, the guys can come here and workout while you girls use the one at home. Ladies before gentlemen."
"Will do, thanks Molly," Gabriella told the lady, hugging her tightly before she and the girls walked towards a changing area that was set aside for them so they wouldn't be bother while working out at L.A. Fitness in Studio City, California.
"She's still the most awesome woman ever," Taylor commented as they set their duffle bags and handbags down on the benches.
"Are we working out with Jay today or are we doing are Yoga session today?" Martha asked as she slipped from her white flip-flops and into a pair of white ankle socks and white and black Nike sneakers.
"Nah, Jay's working with the DDC cheerleaders this week so, next week we'll work with him," Sharpay replied as she tied her sneakers.
"So, Yoga today?" Kelsi guessed as she too tied her sneakers.
"Yep," Gabriella replied with a soft smile as she grabbed her comfortable green yoga mat and bottle of Aquafina.
The rest of the girls too, grabbed their yoga mats and headed towards another room where the sessions always took place with the trainer, Pauline Brown.
"Morning Girls," the middle-aged and certified trainer of Bikram Yoga greeted the girls, using her own personal nickname for them 'The Girls'.
"Moring, Paul," the girls all greeted back as they grabbed their five spots in the front.
"By the way, congratulations Ms. Montez," Mrs. Brown said from her spot on her yoga mat in front of the class.
"Thanks," Gabriella replied with a smile as she sat down on her mat while to her left Sharpay sat down on her pink mat and Taylor, to Gabriella's right, sat down on her purple mat with Martha on her rainbow mat next to Sharpay and Kelsi on Taylor's other side with her yellow, orange, and green striped mat.
"Nice mats," Pauline told Kelsi, Martha, and Taylor, "Get 'em for Christmas?"
"Thanks," the three girls replied with smiles.
"Yeah, we got 'em from Gabriella," Taylor informed their trainer.
"Cool," the trainer replied before turning towards Gabriella, "Now if they ever use the excuse that they don't have mats and can't come, even though they could use the mats here, they can't. Nice work."
"Thanks," Gabriella replied with a giggle as she straightened out her grey Old Navy (ON) tank top, and her black, long legged, Nike workout sweatpants before she slipped off her light brown women's 'Scuffette' slipper indoor/outdoor UGG's.
"Did you girls all have a good vacation?" Mrs. Brown asked them as the rest of the class started to file in and get ready for the session.
"Yeah, it was fun," Kelsi nodded her head in agreement with herself.
"Unless, you're Brie-Ella then it was beyond fun and I don't think amazing even covers it," Sharpay said as she nudged the giggling and blushing girls shoulder.
An hour later and many soothing positions later, the girls all bid the rest of the class and the trainer goodbye before they retreated back to the changing room. In the changing room they grabbed their duffle bags and put their shoes on and in Gabriella's case she put on her red and white 'Marc Echo' cap baseball cap on her head after she released her long and dark curly waves from the black hair band, letting them tumble over her shoulders and frame her face.
"See you girls later, be safe now," Molly said to the girls as they passed the lobby desk with the Secret Service Agents around them, protecting them from the paparazzi they were sure to encounter as they existed the gym.
"So what's on the schedule for the rest of the day?" Kelsi asked once they were all safely back in Sharpay's BMW with her iPhone connected to the stereo, letting it blast music throughout the car as they let it get warm before she started to drive them away from the gym.
"We'll Brie-Ella and I were thinking we'll drop you guys off and then I'll drop her off, we can all shower and then maybe go out to lunch together," Sharpay informed them, "And then later tonight all the Wildcats can go out to dinner and then to a movie. What do you guys think? Wanna spend the day with your best friends and boyfriends?"
"Of course," was the answer echoed throughout the car causing Gabriella and Sharpay to smile, happy the other three liked their plan.
(Troy & Gabriella's House)
"And where are you going, Sexy Girl?" Troy asked Gabriella as she sat at the end of the bed dressed in a pair of super dark destroyed jeggings from American Eagle (AE), and light pink AE boyfriend racer tank; and put her black 'Women's classic short' UGG's from UGG Australia.
"Hey, Sexy Boy," Gabriella replied back causing them both to laugh a little at the spur of the minute nicknames they came up with, "I'm getting ready to go have lunch with the girls."
"Ah, I see," Troy replied as he watched her walk into the closet and then come back out with a black, long sleeved AE cardigan and her most prized handbag.
"Mhm," Gabriella replied as she walked across their bedroom and towards his closet, opening up the door she stepped inside his walk-in closet and though it was a little bit smaller than hers, he still could fit all the stuff that could possibly equal her stuff, in it.
"Whatch'a doing in here, Baby Brie?" The Lakers' superstar asked his girl as he leaned against the door frame with his muscles flexed against the short sleeved, black shirt he was wearing with his arms crossed over his chest while his muscular legs were crossed over each other as his light blue shorts hug low on his hips.
"Looking for a pair of aviators," Gabriella told him as she eyed his sunglasses collection up. Finally, she decided on a pair of silver framed sunglasses from Ray-Ban.
"Didn't you get you like a million of pairs for Christmas?" Troy asked her with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Cutie," Gabriella replied, putting on an innocent face and as she walked by him she used his shoulder to help her get on her tip toes and place a kiss on his cheek, leaving a pink lip gloss kiss mark on his cheek. "Bye, Wildcat."
"Bye, Brie. I love you," Troy called after her with a shake of his head as he thought: God, I love that woman.
(Olive Garden)
"Oh my beautiful girls," Taylor, Martha, Kelsi, Sharpay and Gabriella heard as they walked inside. A middle aged woman with a bright smile and glowing green eyes with a lean body wearing the work attire, smiled at them and said, "It's alright, Kathy. I got my girls."
"Sure thing, Rose," The hostess as the stand said, leaving America's Sweetheart and America's Sparkle and their friends in the hands of their all the time waitress.
"Look at you girls," Rose told them as she hugged them each, "You guys all get more and more beautiful each and every day."
"Aw, thanks Rosie," the five girls all replied together with bright smiles as they followed Rose to the party room that was used as their private room when they had lunch there which was almost all the time.
"So what can I get you beauties today?" Rose asked them once they were all sitting at the table.
"We'll have the marinara sauce with an order of breadsticks," Gabriella said with a smile, "and the Grilled Chicken Flatbread and Caprese Flatbread please."
"Of course, Honey," Rosie replied, "And let me guess, you'll have two Cokes, two Sprites, and one Diet Coke to drink, right?"
"Yep," America's Sweetheart replied with a smile and a slight giggle.
"Do you girls know what you want for your main lunch course, yet?" The waitress asked them.
"Well, I'll have a Tour of Italy please," Gabriella told Rose before handing her the menu with a smile.
"I'll have the same thing please, Rose," Sharpay replied, she too handing Rose her menu with a smile.
"I'll have the Lasagna Classico, please," Taylor replied before handing Rose the menu with a smile.
"I'll have a bowl of Minestrone soup please Rose," Kelsi ordered, handing Rose the menu with a small smile.
"And I'll have the same thing please, Rosie," Martha added as she too handed the waitress her menu with a bright smile.
"Alright, girls I'll be right back with your drinks and appetizers," Rose told them before she disappeared with their order leaving the girls alone to chit chat.
"So, Brie-Ella," Sharpay started.
"Soooo, Shar-Bear?" Gabriella questioned back.
"Are you guys gonna do a honeymoon?" America's Sparkled replied back.
"Honestly, I have no idea," Gabriella told her with a shrug of her shoulders, "I mean I guess it depends on our schedules at the time, but I think we're going too because Troy's games will all be done by the wedding and I'll be done with our second year of college so, I guess that's all really making it a big question mark is that we just haven't talked about it yet."
"Why not?"
"Because we just haven't had time to talk about anything since we've been back in L.A., but hopefully we'll get to soon," Gabriella replied as Rose appeared in the room again, pushing a trolley in front of her with covered foods, clear glasses with the different types of soda inside it with the ice and straws floating around in the cup. "Oh God, that smells delicious."
"Definitely," the other four agreed with Gabriella as they all smelled the delicious aromas of melted mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, basil, garlic, grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, Alfredo sauce, and marinara sauce.
"And it looks as good as it smells," Martha added as Rose set their appetizers in front of them.
"Oh believe me, Sweeties, the chefs always make sure that you girls always have the best tasting food we have ever cooked," Rose told them with a smile before she disappeared.
"So, have you decided on a wedding dress designer yet?" Martha asked her as they each started to split up the appetizers.
"Oh God," Gabriella groaned, "No, I haven't and I'm getting more and more faxed to me by David each and every day."
"Do you even have a dress designer in mind?" Taylor asked her as she dipped her breadstick in the steaming marinara sauce. Seeing Gabriella nod her head, she, Martha, and Kelsi asked her, "WHO?"
"You guys can ask all you want, but believe me Brie-Ella isn't sharing that, even with me," Sharpay told them before she glared at her best friend, "Her adoptive big sister, her best friend."
"Keep it up, Shar-Bear, keep it up," Gabriella warned her.
"Or what?" The blonde asked her, turning her head towards her best friend with a raised eyebrow.
"You won't be Maid of Honor," Gabriella told her.
"Fine, ruin my fun," Sharpay replied with a pout.
"Oh suck it up, Evans."
"Shush it, Montez."
"Shush it, Evans."
"Don't mock me, Gabriella Marie."
"Don't mock me, Sharpay Anne."
Both girls glared at each other with their arms crossed over their chests as they leaned back in their chairs, and stuck out their small, pick tongues at each other.
"You two are so childish, even more childish then my boyfriend at times," Taylor told them with a shake of her head while Martha and Kelsi laughed at them.
(Troy & Gabriella's House)
"Wildcat, I'm home," Gabriella called throughout their house as she set her keys down on the stand by the front door. Not getting no reply and noticing the dogs weren't right there when she came home like they normally were, she looked around the house downstairs before finally going up the stairs and searching the rooms. Finally, upon entering their bedroom and mentally slapping herself for not coming to the bedroom first, she then cooed at the dogs who were all cuddled up to Troy, all of them sleeping with ESPN playing on the flat screen TV.
Gabriella quickly pulled her iPhone from her Louis Vuitton and quickly took a picture before she set both of them down on the computer desk and kicked off her UGG's. Slowly and carefully she walked towards the bed and gently slid on the bed and into Troy's bare side to join them in taking a nice and much needed nap.
