-Chapter 17-
(February 15, 2010 – NYC, New York)
"GABRIELLA, WHERE'S TROY AT?"
"GABRIELLA, ONE PICTURE PLEASE!"
"GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA!"
"AMERICA'S SWEETHEART, ONE PICTURE PLEASE!"
"GABRIELLA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN NYC?"
"GABRIELLA WHY ARE YOU AT DAVID TUTERA'S OFFICES?"
"GABRIELLA!"
"GABRIELLA!"
Gabriella let out a sigh of relief when she was safely inside of David Tutera's Offices away from the flashing bulbs and the screaming photographers.
"Are you alright, Gabi?" Brett immediately asked the girl that he would lay down his life for.
"Yeah, I've just got a migraine now," Gabriella replied with a soft smile and leaned on him for a second before standing up and walking over to the elevators with her SS Agents.
Once in the elevator, she pressed the number of the floor she needed and waited patiently as the elevator took them to the floor. Getting off on the floor, Gabriella and her SS Agents caused a slight ruckus as they entered the glass doors and walked up to the main receptionist desk.
"Hi, I'm here to see David," Gabriella told the African American behind the desk, who started typing away on her computer.
"Ah, yes, Ms. Montez," the lady replied with a smile, "Your right on time, I'll call David and let him know you're here and by the way, congratulations on the engagement you're a very lucky young lady."
"Thank you," Gabriella replied with a blush before she headed the way the receptionist told her too after she got off the phone with the wedding planner.
HSM*IS*LOVE
"Gabriella, how are you?" David asked as he hugged the young lady once she entered his office.
"Hi, David; I'm good, how about yourself?" Gabriella asked returning the hug before she sat down on the couch in his office that was in front of a glass coffee table that was loaded with stuff.
"Pretty good," David replied as he sat down beside her, "Do you want anything to drink before we get down to business?"
"A Pepsi would be nice if you have one, thanks," Gabriella replied with a smile.
"That we do," David said as he got up off the couch and headed to the mini-fridge in his office to grab a bottle of Pepsi and a bottle of Aquafina.
"Thanks," Gabriella replied as she opened up the bottle before taking a long swig of it.
"You're welcome," David replied with a smile, "Alright so first things first, have you and Troy made up the list of people you want to invite to the wedding?"
"Yes we did," Gabriella replied as she opened up her Fendi bag to pull out a folder. Opening up the red folder, she shuffled through the papers before handing David the list.
"Alright, thank you," David replied with a smile looking it once over before confirming with her, "So I heard from Troy that he was going to take you to see Taylor Swift in concert and he knew you wanted to ask her to perform at your wedding so, what I want to know is if she agreed?"
"Yes, I asked her and yes she agreed," Gabriella replied before adding, "She's planning on calling you sometime in the next few days or in the next week maximum."
"Very well" David replied with a smile as he wrote it down in his planner book, "Alright, next order of business, is of course the wedding invitations. Now, I have here the samples that I had made up for you and Troy to look at so, once you decide on one, just let me know by faxing me over the one you two chose."
"Sure thing, thank you" America's Sweetheart replied with a smile as she put the medium sized box filled with the different samples into her Fendi bag.
"I also have here the invitations for the Breakfast at Tiffany's Luncheon you wanted to have with all the females that have been important in your life on the day of, would you like to see them?"
"Yes, please."
"Alright here they are," David told her handing her the invitation that had the iconic picture of Audrey Hepbern on the front of the card with her black dress, black elbow gloves, pearls, bun, and cigarette; and on the back was a picture in the lower right hand corner a picture of her while the rest of the card red:
Gabriella Montez
Deeply requests you to join her for a special luncheon honoring the important women in her life.
I look forward to seeing you on

*Psst, don't forget your little black dresses & pearls or diamonds!
"Oh, David; they're perfect and just what I imagined, you truly are the wedding planner of the dreams," Gabriella told him with a bright smile.
David just laughed and smiled with a hint of a blush on his cheeks as he asked, "Did you come up with your list?"
"Mmhm," Gabriella replied, still admiring the invitation before deciding to set it aside and grab the luncheon list.
"Thank you," David replied before asking, "By the way, did Troy decide if he wanted to do anything for the special guys in his life?"
"I'm actually not sure on that one, I think he was still thinking about it to be honest," Gabriella thought for a minute, "I'll make a mental note to ask him when I get back home, and let you know ASAP. Is that alright?"
"That's perfectly fine, Sweetie," David replied with a truthful smile before moving onto the next order of business for the next two hours.
HSM*IS*LOVE
"…alright, now that's finished," David said, "Would you like some lunch?"
"I would love some, thank you," Gabriella replied.
"Do you have any requests?"
"Nope, you can choose, I'm can eat almost anything," Gabriella replied with a giggle.
David just laughed too as he handed her an order-out menu from one of the near by restaurants so they could order some lunch, and as he was ordering it a few minutes later, Gabriella smiled and answered her vibrating cell phone as she got up to walk to the floor to ceiling windows to look out over NYC with a "Hey, Wildcat."
"Hiya, Gorgeous. How's my girl doing?" Troy's loving voice came over the other line.
"Pretty good, Handsome," Gabriella replied with a giggle before saying softly, "just missing you."
"I'm missing you too, Baby Brie, so much," he replied just as softly, "Whatch'a doing?"
"Getting ready to have lunch with David before I head back to the girls, we just finished up our meeting the best we could without you because we both know you want to be a hundred percent involved in this unless you changed your mind."
"Nope, I sure didn't. I want to be involved after all it's the first step to our future together don't you think?"
"Yeah, it sure is." Gabriella replied before turning her head to David and motioning one minute only to have him motion for her to take as long as she needed too. "How'd practice go?"
"Okay, I guess," he replied back, "How'd your runway show go this morning?"
"Pretty well," she replied back, both feeling the anxiety from being away from each other.
"Hey, Baby. I'm gonna get in the shower and let you get back to lunch. The dogs and I love you and miss you so much. Come home soon, okay?" Her basketball star asked softly.
"Alright, Wildcat. I miss you and love you guys too, and I'll be there as soon as I can. Incase I'm not there tomorrow, Babe, good luck."
"Thanks, Baby. I love you and I'll call you later, okay?"
"Okay, I love you too. See you soon."
"See you soon."
"Everything okay?" David asked the girl gently as she stayed standing at the window looking down at the picture of her and Troy on her iPhone.
"Huh…oh, sorry David…yeah, everything's just fine. Just missing him is all," Gabriella replied softly as she thought in her head the same thought that her soul mate was thinking across the continent.
I love you, forever and an eternity.
To Be Continued…
Well, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it.
Peace, love, hope,
