Chapter 6
Taylor had driven the 9 hours and a half from Las Vegas to San Francisco now she was exhausted. Gabriella had dosed for a couple of hours and spent the other hours she was awake talking to Taylor and texting whoever she had been with the night before. But when doing so she was smiling, her friend was falling hard for the guy she had met last night.
"Girl you've got it bad," said Taylor
"What?" asked Gabriella
"Your falling or have fallen hard for the guy you meet last night you haven't stopped smiling since we left Las Vegas," said Taylor
"I guess I have," smiled Gabriella as she received another text from Troy.
"Well we're in San Francisco think you can detached yourself from your phone to go sightseeing?" asked Taylor
"Yeah just let me say bye," smiled Gabriella
Taylor smiled. She was glad Gabriella had found someone especially with her moving to LA on her own. She was glad she found someone in LA.
Hey I'm in San Fran now.
Taylor says I have to detach myself from my phone to go sight seeing.
So I'll text you later.
Gabriella

Gabriella
Yeah don't you like it
T
Never had someone call me babe.
Yeah I like it
Gabriella
Could cuz it's saying.

T
Well then I'll just have to think up a nickname for you.
Gabriella
That's the thing with Troy no nicknames.
T
T. Your nickname can be T.
And I gotta go Taylor is glaring at me.
Gabriella
Ok. Is it bad that I want and know I can say love you?
T
No cuz I wanna say it as well.
Gabriella
Well I won't text it.
But let me know when you're free to take a phone call.
T

Gabriella

Troy
Won't dream of it Troy boy.
Gabriella
"You do?" asked Taylor
"It's him?" smiled Gabriella
"You are so in love," smiled Taylor
"Not alone in love though," smiled Gabriella
"He loves you?" asked Taylor
"He texted and I quote is it bad that I want and know I can say I love you," smiled Gabriella
"What did you say?" asked Taylor
"No cuz I wanna say it as well. But he doesn't want to text it. He wants to actually say it so he said to let him know when he can phone so he can say it," smiled Gabriella
"Right let's check in, get changed, you can make your phone call and then we can go sightseeing," smiled Taylor
"Sounds like a plan," smiled Gabriella linking arms with Taylor as they walked into their hotel.
After checking into their room, they headed up to it. Taylor stopping to by a magazine in the shop. And then with Gabriella in the shower she sat down to read it.
Twenty minutes later Gabriella was out of the shower and dressed in light denim shorts, white flip flops and a white strappy top with thin blue vertical lines across it. Her hair was pulled into a side pony and still damp. And the first thing she saw when Taylor went in the bathroom was the headline on the magazine.
Troy Bolton. Married?
"Shit," she murmured
As she sat down to right it.
It appears that party was not the only thing Troy Bolton did on his holiday to Vegas.
This reporter and members of the public saw the Lakers star go into a wedding chapel on Saturday night. He was seen coming out with a brunette lady but her face was no visible. From the way they were acting, it was obvious they were drunk. So is a divorce of the cards. Who knows? But as soon as this reporter hears anything on the grapevine I'll let you know.
"Shit," murmured Gabriella pulling out her phone
"Hey I didn't think you'd phone this quick," said Troy
"Yeah we checked into are hotel first," said Gabriella
"Gabriella is everything ok?" asked Troy
"No," replied Gabriella
"What's up? You've thought this though in the last few hours and you want a divorce?" asked Troy
"No. But have you check the magazine's or tabloids today?" asked Gabriella
"No why?" asked Troy
"Just go on US Weekly's site," said Gabriella
There is silence for a couple of minutes.
"Shit!" said Troy
"This is bad isn't it?" asked Gabriella
"Well you can't be identified. So I'll ignore it and ignore my publicist phoning me to ask what the hell I think was. As I don't go home till tomorrow," sighed Troy
"Don't go getting married again," teased Gabriella
"I think that would consider cheating or bigamy love," chuckled Troy
"Love?" asked Gabriella
"Get used to babe," smiled Troy
"Gabs you ready to go," called Taylor as she came out of the bathroom
"Yeah just a sec," called Gabriella
"You've gotta go," said Troy
"Fraid so," sighed Gabriella
"Well talk later bye," said Troy
"Bye," sighed Gabriella
"And I love you," he whispered
"Love you too," smiled Gabriella
They pair hang up.
"So you said it," said Taylor as the pair walked out of the hotel.
"Yeah he said it first," smiled Gabriella
"What's up chica?" asked Taylor
"Nothing," said Gabriella
"You wanna be with him?" asked Taylor
"I've only known him for less then a day and I miss him how whacked is that?" asked Gabriella
"Because you love him. Love at first sight," smiled Taylor
"Maybe. Come on let's go to the golden gate bridge. Oh and I've been told not to fall off," giggled Gabriella
"By your boy," said Taylor
"Yeah by my boy," smiled Gabriella
"Your boy have a name?" asked Taylor
"Yeah," said Gabriella
"Your not going to tell me are you?" asked Taylor
"Early days," smiled Gabriella "I'll tell you in LA promise after I've talked to him," she added
"Hey do you wanna forget china town, go see the golden gate bridge and do the cable car and then head to Santa Monica?" asked Taylor
"And be in Santa Monica later afternoon?" asked Gabriella
"Yeah that way we can in be LA tonight and you go spend the night with your boy," smiled Taylor
"We can go to Satan Monica early but my boy isn't back in LA till tomorrow," smiled Gabriella
"So we can get an extra day in LA. You can go to your job early. Tour with me and then see you boy the day after," smiled Taylor
"So we go see the golden gate bridge, do the cable car. And check out and head to Santa Monica, do the pier and angel's attic. It won't work Taylor," said Gabriella
"Why?" asked Taylor
"Because we have tickets for the China Town tour tomorrow and we have tickets for the Santa Monica Playhouse," said Gabriella
"I'll phone both and have our money refunded. Come on would you rather walk round China town and watch Cinderella or see your boy?" asked Taylor
"See my boy," said Gabriella
"Settled I'll phone them now and you take photo's," said Taylor
"I'm just going to make a phone call," smiled Gabriella
Taylor shook her head smiled and walked over to a bench to phone to cancel.
"Hey baby," smiled Gabriella
"That's what not even an hour. There's not been another article has there?" asked Troy
"No but what if I said I was spending longer in LA then one day?" asked Gabriella
"I would be happy," said Troy
"Could cuz Taylor and I are missing out China town tomorrow and Cinderella the night after. Doing golden gate and cable car this morning. Leaving to be in Santa Monica this afternoon. Late afternoon taking a walk along the superior pier going to the angel attic and we will be in LA tonight," said Gabriella
"I'm not back till tomorrow morning," said Troy
"I know but it gives me a day with you, then a day with Taylor and sorting my job out and then an extra day with you," said Gabriella
"Well then both days with me you ain't going anywhere," smiled Troy
"I was thinking the same thing. Taylor ain't meeting you," said Gabriella
"Well I've technically already meet her but then she squealed we've just spoke to Troy Bolton," said Troy
"Yeah sorry about that it was quiet funny though," smiled Gabriella
"How so?" asked Troy
"Because when you walked of she squealed that and I thought big deal I'm married to him," laughed Gabriella
"Too true," smiled Troy
"Shit!" said Gabriella
"What?" asked Troy
"I just dropped my camera of the golden gate bridge," said Gabriella
"So will you have lost all your pictures?" asked Troy
"Nah there on my laptop and Taylor has some on her camera but god I wish I hadn't done that. Going to have to go buy a new one," she sighed "And wait for it charge,"
"Well I'll go get one for you now and then you can use Taylor's until you get here," said Troy
"Are you sure?" asked Gabriella
"Wouldn't have it any other way," smiled Troy
"Gabs money refunded," said Taylor
"I'm guessing it's a bye," said Troy
"Yeah," said Gabriella
"Don't get sad just think you're going to see me tomorrow," said Troy
"See you tomorrow and only you," smiled Gabriella hanging up
"Got any photos or were flirting with you boy?" asked Taylor
"Flirting and I dropped my camera," said Gabriella
"So were is it?" asked Taylor
Gabriella pointed downwards towards the Pacific Ocean.
"So you wanna use my camera?" asked Taylor
"Until LA and we can share it," said Gabriella
"And then you'll get a camera when we're in LA and when your in bed with your guy it can charge?" asked Taylor
"No he's getting me one," said Gabriella
"He just offered?" asked Taylor
"Yeah," said Gabriella snapping photos
"Just like that?" asked Taylor
"Yeah," said Gabriella
"Maybe the guy is loaded," said Taylor
"Oh you have no idea," thought Gabriella a smile on her face
"Is he?" asked Taylor as she posed for a photo
"I'm not saying a word," smiled Gabriella as she took the photo before she posed and they headed of for the cable car.
Just seven hours later they were quickly making there way though Angel's Attic before closing.
After almost getting kicked out because it was closing they took a stroll down the superior before getting back on the road to head to LA.
Taylor driving because Gabriella was bouncing up and down in her seat with excitement. She had received a text from Troy saying.
I've just touched down in LA.

"We can finally wash our clothes," said Gabriella
"We had them washed at the hotel in Las Vegas," said Taylor
"Yeah I know but these ones can get washed and put clean, clean ones that are hanging in my wardrobe," said Gabriella
"Oh yeah you have most of your stuff shipped out before we started the trip," said Taylor
"I had them shipped and I came with them," said Gabriella
"Come on direct me to your place and then you can find your way to your boys house," smiled Taylor
"Woah that house is huge," said Gabriella
"I think its Troy Bolton's," said Taylor
Do you live in a massive house?
Gabriella
No a flat in Madison building
Grove Street
T
No fucking way
Gabriella
Way. Why that's where you live
T
Yeah
Gabriella
Well I just pulled in

T
Just pulling in
Gabriella
Want me to wait in the car park
T

Gabriella
She can meet me if you want her to
T
Is it bad to want you all to myself at least for one day
Gabriella
No not at all
T
Right so like 20 minutes I need to get Taylor in and so her round
Gabriella
"Guess what he lives in these flats," said Gabriella
"What a coincidence," said Taylor
"Your sick of him aren't you?" asked Gabriella as she let herself into her apartment
"I'm happy for you I'm just missing Chad," smiled Taylor
"Are you going to be ok on your own for tonight and tomorrow?" asked Gabriella
"You're not going to be able to walk on Wednesday," said Taylor
"Taylor we won't be in bed all the time. I do believe he said he would get me a camera. And I doubt he had time to get one this afternoon," said Gabriella
"So what you sleep with him tonight, go out in the morning get a camera and then go back to bed?" asked Taylor
"Probably," giggled Gabriella "I'd better take some clothes with me," she added
"If you even need them," smirked Taylor
"True," Gabriella laughed as she packed some clothes into a bag.
"So see you Wednesday," said Gabriella
"See you Wednesday," said Taylor
"I still feel very bad about this," said Gabriella
"Gabs its fine it's not everyday you meet someone who you fall in love with after one night. Go spend some time with him. Cuz after Thursday you won't see him for a couple of weeks," said Taylor
"Bye," smiled Gabriella
As Gabriella closed the door Taylor could hear her on the phone finding out her boys number.
"Right across from you baby," she heard a voice
She recognized that voice but she couldn't place it. Shrugging she turned on the TV, popped a pizza in the oven and pulled out her phone to phone her own fiancée.
