Chapter 5
It had been a week since Troy had told Gabriella she had to stay at the club and she was loving it - room service for breakfast, a lie in because she could get ready in Troy's room and she was loving it and, the daily massages after work.
It wasn't weird living with Troy, it was ok - I mean it was weird. He was her best friend.
"So, what's the deal with your mum leaving you all the time?" asked Troy, as he massaged her feet.
"Hmm?" asked Gabriella.
"Your mum?" asked Troy.
"She's signed to this big lawyer firm with every other month turning into monthly business trips that last five to ten days or two weeks or even the whole month," answered Gabriella, snuggling into the sofa.
"Room service?" asked Troy.
"That's all we ever eat," said Gabriella.
"We could go down to the restaurant?" suggested Troy.
"No - everyone stares at me enough as it is ... I don't want my peers serving me. Plus Kayla is a waitress tonight and I can't deal with her," yawned Gabriella.
"Well, you're not going to sleep without eating something," said Troy.
"Crispy chicken baguette with lettuce … wake me when it gets here," yawned Gabriella. "Oh, and a couple slices of pepperoni pizza and some cookies."
Troy chuckled and reached for the phone to call down to room service for his and Gabriella's order. She amazed him everyday - he'd forgotten that she ate the weirdest things together. I mean, she wouldn't eat the pizza and the cookies together but a crispy chicken sandwich and pizza? It was possible but she ate a lot for such a small girl and that was just one of the things Troy liked about her. However, he was starting to like her a lot more than he should do as a friend and he was starting to think more along the lines of more than just friends.
