Chapter 4

Troy awoke the next morning feeling groggy. He tossed in bed stretching out his upper and lower body, letting out a yawn as he did it. He stood in bed looking up at the white ceiling in his room letting yesterday's memory flood back into his brain. Troy sighed as he rolled out of bed and walked lazily to the washroom. He cleaned himself up by taking a shower and brushing his teeth, as he walked back into his bedroom his phone began to vibrate. He arched his eyebrow and answered quickly without taking a glance over at the screen.

"Hello?"

"Troy... it's me Gabriella." the small angelic voice spoke threw the speaker of his phone.

He smiled warmily realizing it was the woman that had been on his mind. "Brie what's up?"

"Is it too early for you to come and meet me at the cafe?" she asked hesitantly.

"No no it's not at all. Do you want me to meet you over there?" He responded quickly as he dropped the damp towel that hung on his v shaped waist and began slipping on a pair of briefs.

"Yeah please... can you meet me there in 15 minutes?" she asked softly.

"Yes I can." he smiled.

"Okay thank you Troy see you then." she hung up.

Troy threw his phone on the bed opening one of the drawers and grabbing a pair of jeans and a v-neck t-shirt. He quickly put on his outter wear before slipping his black vans on his feet. He walked into the bathroom to look in the mirror at his appearance, he just brushed down the hairs on his head that stood up. Once Troy was satisfied with his look he quickly grabbed his phone and car keys heading out of his room. The smell of coffee filled his nostrils as he walked down the stair case. He turned his head looking towards the kitchen to see his older brother pouring himself some coffee. Troy knew that him and Austin had gotten into a real bad arguement last night, and right now they should be discussing the problem but meeting up with Gabriella was too important to Troy to make up with his brother at the moment.

Troy got into his audi putting the key in the ignition and began speeding away to the cafe restaurant. He let his mind run wondering why Gabriella had wanted to meet up with him. At the thought of that made Troy extremely nervous. He took deep breathes trying to pull himself together as he was pulling into the street that the restaurant was located on. He quickly found a parking space parking his car before getting out. He strutted over to the restaurant looking around the sidewalks to see any sign of her or her car. He walked in the restaurant letting his eyes run all over the cafe. He saw that she had not arrived yet so he decided to just get a table for 2 and wait for the raven beau to walk in. He sat at the seat that had him face the front door of the restaurant so that when she walked in she would see him and he would see her. Troy stood sitting messing with his fingers then the fork and spoon that laid on the table and glancing up every 5 seconds to see if she had walked in. You could tell right off the back that Troy was nervous.

5 minutes after going crazy Troy glanced up once more to see Gabriella walking in. A sudden smile spread across his lips as he stood up from his seat. The beauty immediately spotted him, she had a small smile placed on her lips as she walked over to their table.

"Hey" Troy breathe out.

"Hey" Gabriella smiled taking a seat.

Troy's orbs immediately began examining her heart shaped face. He could tell from the dark circles under her eyes that she absolutely had not slept and was crying from the puffyness in her eyes. How could someone do that to such a beautiful woman like Gabriella? Who would want to hurt such a perfect female like herself?

"How are you feeling?" Troy asked softly.

She sighed letting her narrow shoulders fall. "I'm okay... been better."

Troy gave her a small comforting smile. "I'm glad you called me. Are you hungry?"

Gabriella nodded and gave him a small smile. "I just needed to talk to someone... I mean I have Shar but I needed to talk to a guy you know... and since you've been through this or going through this I know that you know how I feel..." she said softly.

Troy nodded looking into her coco brown eyes. "I know exactly how you feel Brie.. and it's not the greatest feeling in the world.

Gabriella smiled slightly looking back straight into his eyes. "Why do you call me Brie? Noones ever called me that before..."

Troy blushed slightly as he had made up this nickname for her. He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know it kinda just came to me."

Gabriella smiled alittle wider. "Well I like it.. it's... different."

Troy smiled back and nodded. "Well I'm glad you do."

Gabriella look back smiling before taking her attention to the menu infront of her. The waitress came over asking each of their orders, Troy and Gabriella responded giving her both of what they wanted and the woman took their menus walking away.

"So.. I need your like opinion or advice on this whole situation cause I honestly don't know what the hell to do Troy.." She sighed before taking a sip of her water.

Troy looked over at her. "Well you caught him cheating Gabriella shouldn't that say enough? Even though I'm related to him it makes no difference, he's a grown man and he makes his own decisions and the decision he made to cheat on you his fiancee with a client of his is simply wrong. I'm still in shocked on to how he would cheat on a woman like yourself. If I for one had you Brie I would treat you like the queen you deserved to be treated like. I would never go behind your back and commit adultery towards you in any way or form. You're a beauitful intelligent woman and my brother is an asshole for doing that to you.. And I told him that last night."

Gabriella's cheeks went from chrism red to pale white in seconds. "You told him he's an asshole?"

Troy nodded and chuckled lightly scratching the back of his head. "Yeah he needed to know that he fucked up."

"What did he tell you back?" she asked still surprised.

"We kinda got into an arguement cause he told me to mind my business that I didn't know you and I said that I know you more than he thinks I do."

Gabriella smiled slightly at his last words. "Well Thank you Troy."

"No problem." he returned the smile.

She looked down at her fingers. "I think I'm going to talk with him about the whole situation... but I just don't think I can ever trust him again as a partner or a lover... and without trust what's the point of a relationship.."

Troy moved his hand forward grabbing her hand in his softly causing her to look up into his eyes. "I think that's a good idea."

Gabriella couldn't help but bite her bottom lip at the intense feeling she felt that was moving all within her body. Usually at a forward movement like that, that Troy had made Gabriella would usually flinch away but this time in that moment she didn't want to. She was beginning to enjoy this unknown feeling Troy gave her. All the pain she was feeling inside of her had magically disappeared and all the was inside of her were these fireworks. She felt his thumb rub her hand soothingly and Gabriella couldn't help but smile for every worry and concern that was on her mind had flown away.

After the breakfast with Troy, Gabriella had made her way back to Sharpay's house. She walked in hearing the blonde singing in the kitchen she followed the wonderful voice before taking into her view Sharpay using a banana as her microphone and singing a Justin Bieber song. Gabriella laughed at how ridiculous her bestfriend looked which caused Sharpay to stop her actions.

"You whore! I didn't hear you come in." Sharpay blushed turning off the radio.

Gabriella continued to laugh taking a seat on the island. "You're too much Shar I swear!"

"Yeah yeah whatever! So how was breakfest with Troy?" She asked smirking.

Gabriella smiled. "It was breakfest."

"You're looking almost like yourself again so it wasn't just 'breakfest'. Come on spill!" Sharpay grinned.

Gabriella sighed still with a smile on her lips. "It was comforting..."

Sharpay squealed. "And...?"

Gabriella sighed and began fiddling with her fingers again. "I hope I'm not a horrible person for saying this but... I - ..I wish I would of met .. Troy first."

Sharpay's eyes widen with smile still playing over her thin lips. "Why do you say that?"

She sighed. "Because.. He's so different than Austin.. their like the complete opposites.. Troy is just... I don't know.. there's no words to describe him and Austin is just like rough, sweet when he wants to be.. aggressive. And Troy is just not any of that. Troy's gentle with his actions and his words... I know that I've known him but I never really have gotten to know him as a person you know.. and this week that I've spent with just me and him and all the talking we've done.. I've grown to learn what he's about and how he acts. Maybe I need to know alittle more but I know enough to say that he's an amazing man. And he has a good heart."

Sharpay smiled widely. "This is like a romantic story."

Gabriella giggled shaking her head. "Stop it is not!"

"It totally is! You're in love with you're finace's brother! That title alone is a novel!" Sharpay giggled.

"I wouldn't say I'm in love with him. Love is rather a huge feeling and word to use. But I think I like Troy... But it's wrong of me to like him especially because I was going to marry his older brother. I'm like the family slut!" Gabriella exclaimed.

"You're a pretty slut though." Sharpay grinned joking.

Gabriella stuck her middle finger up at her. "Fuck you...But in all seriousness can I ask you something."

"After you disrespect me you want to ask me a question?" Sharpay joked.

Gabriella giggled. "I'm serious Shar come on!"

"Ugh okay okay fine! What's the question?" She smiled.

"Well.. Have you ever got this like sparking feeling inside of you when you touch someone?" Gabriella bit her bottom lip.

Sharpay arched an eyebrow smirking. "You mean horniess?"

"No! Shar I'm serious. Like a sparking feeling that runs through your entire body.. and it's a feeling that when someone touches you on your hand, arm, or where ever it's like you don't want them to stop because you enjoy the feeling... did you ever feel like that?" she asked sincerly.

Sharpay gave her friend a soft smile. "Yeah.. I know what feeling you're talking about and it's a reviving feeling it's different. It means you like him Gabi."

Gabriella let out a small sigh. "It's just so wrong for me to like him. It's not meant to be."

"How would you know?" Sharpay asked.

"Because look at the situation Shar.. I love his brother.. I was intimate with his brother.. I was suppose to be marrying his brother. But yet in some how all of this I started to like Troy.. It's not right. It doesn't look right for me nor him." She looked back at Sharpay.

"His brother fucking cheated on you Gabi.. His brother is an asshole who does not deserve you not one bit! And In all of this chaos some how you managed to like Troy.. I think personally that's it's fate! And It's so fucking obvious that Troy likes you." Sharpay said.

"I don't know.. all I know right now is I need to talk with Austin about everything that happened." Gabriella sighed.

Troy had arrived back at his brothers house and was surprise to see his brother still home now watching television.

"Troy?" he suddenly asked as Troy shut the front door.

Troy sighed taking deep breaths and made his way to the living room looking over at Austin.

"Do you mind having a seat so we could talk man?" His brother asked looking rather upset.

Troy obeyed his question a took a seat looking at his brother.

"I'm sorry Troy.. for what I said to you about Victoria and shit honestly it was not my place at all to come at you with that. I was just so upset with the whole thing going on with Gabriella that I took it out on you when you were just giving me the truth man. I'm sorry." He looked at Troy with sorrow over taking his grassy green eyes.

Troy nodded and took a deep breath. "It's alright man and I'm sorry about being so brutal with the whole Bri-Gabriella thing."

Austin held up his hand. "No Troy I deserved it.. I really fucked up this time man and I don't want to lose her."

Troy winced slightly at the last of his words. "Yeah I understand."

Austin got up and went over to pull Troy into a man hug. Troy hugged back before pulling away. "I'm going to text her and see if she wants to come over so that we could talk cause I just can't go on without her man. I love Gabriella so much." Austin said grabbing his cell phone.

Troy just nodded. "Yeah, well I'm going to go take a nap see you later."

"Alright man and thanks Troy.. for showing me that I really do have a great woman in my hands." Austin smiled over at Troy.

Troy gave him a fake smile before walking up the stair case and into his room. Once he shut the door close he threw his body on the soft bed. He knew it was wrong of him to think this but he hoped that Gabriella wouldn't get back with Austin. After their breakfast Troy just couldn't help but imagine the what if's of her being his. How he would cherish her and love her till the death of him. How they could have awhole bunch of mornings like the one they had this morning. He knew that this feeling inside of him growing for this woman was serious. He truthfully likes Gabriella and there's no point of him denying it. He couldn't even denied it if he tried. Gabriella was always on is mind every second of the day. When that happens to you, you know that it's serious. Troy just knew that he would just have to wait till it was the right moment, till he had a sign or knew that she felt some way for him so that he would be able to confess his feelings to her. All he could do now was just wait... and hope.
