Falling for my boss
Gabriella did everything right...she was good at work, good at home, the perfect daughter, the perfect friend...her only and worst mistake...was ever falling for her boss...but you couldnt blame her...he was hot: dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, strong voice, great body...anything any girl could ask for, and.. the moment Gabriella took that job as his secretary she knew things werent right, he could make her nervous and weak...that wasnt good.
Gabriella could feel how his presence would affect her everytime, she was very professional, but it was hard to hide her feelings...what made it even worse...he was a playboy...known for dating blonde girls, with pale skin and no curves.
One morning Gabriella went to work, she was early as usual...she made some coffee because Troy always asked for coffee. Sat on her desk and checked Troy appointments, no big deal, he had a meeting at 10 a.m. an occasional meeting to see a partner at 4 p.m., and a party to close his contract with Van Dyne at 8 p.m.
Van Dyne contract was really important for the company so Troy spent weeks working on it..trying to get it right, and when Cannon Van Dyne finally gave in..the only thing Troy could think of was a party to celebrate.
"take charge of everything" he said that day "we need to celebrate this important union" and left.
Gabriella made sure everything was perfect for that night...everything...also she was going just to make sure everything was gonna be alright. She started fixing some papers and making some calls to confirm Troys meetings...everything was in the right order. A blonde girl walked inside the office...it was Sharpay Evans...Troy's girlfriend at the time...or should she say date because Troy Bolton sure had no girlfriends in his life...the blonde beauty stood there waiting for Gabriella to say something.
"uh...Mr Bolton is not here yet, but he sure should be here soon" Gabriella said. "want me to call him?" she asked.
"no...i want to surprise him" her smile seemed real...but that tone said that she was everything but happy.
Gabriella kept working and waited for her boss to arrive..in that moment like if God thought it was time to...Troy walked inside the office with a big smile. He was in a good mood. Gabriella didnt know why.
"Shar!" he said "i never thought i would see you here"
"well i know that"
"c'mon in" he said still in a good mood even tho Sharpay was glaring at him "Gabs could you bring me some coffee please" he winked at her.
Gabriella felt her body reacting again but she tried to keep it cool.
"sure Mr. Bolton" she said and went to get the coffee. On her way back she couldnt help wondering why Sharpay was so upset. She knocked on the door and walked inside.
"YOU cant do this to me" Sharpay was trying to stay calm..but she was losing the fight.
"uh...here's your coffee Mr. Bolton" Gabriella said.
"i swear you're getting faster everyday...thanks Gabs you're super...and for the last time..call me Troy" he said.
"ok...can i get you anything Miss Evans?" she asked.
"no.." Troy answered "she's leaving"
"no i'm not...this conversation isnt over" Sharpay said.
"Shar...you knew this would end sometime...so keep some dignity and get out of my office please"
"but..."
"Gabs show her the door please"
Sharpay was really pissed but still she left without Gabriella having to walk her to the door...Gabriella couldnt understand why Troy was dumping her..Sharpay was the first blonde with curves Troy dated.
"sorry...i never meant for you to see that" he was still smiling. "so lets get to work, shall we?"
"yes...you have a meeting at 10 a.m."
"concept?"
"uhh..." she searched thru her papers "you're gonna check the numbers of that hotel you own in miami" she said.
"cool...that will be all for now..thanks Gabs"
"ok Mr..." he gave her a look "Troy" she finally said and closed the door behind her.
So Troy was free again, she wondered for how long that was gonna last. Gabriella caught herself thinking that maybe she would be the one Troy could see a forever with...well...she could dream right? Gabriella sat on her desk again and tried to focus on work. Gabriella was really good with her job...she loved it...Troy several times said that he would rather die than lose her as his secretary. He was a great boss maybe thats why she loved her job so much.
After 2 hours Troy got out of his office and got ready to go to the meeting, before he left a card on her desk with a number and she looked at him confused.
He grabbed some papers "i need you to make a call to that number" he said.
"and i'll be talking to..." she asked.
"Taylor McKessie...tell her that i had a wonderful time last night but that i will be canceling our date tonight...send her some flowers in case she gets mad"
"if she asks why, i should say..."
"well...i'll leave it up to you...truth is i'm taking someone else" he said and winked at her again.
Gabriellas body alarm went off.
"ok" she simply said.
"thanks Gabs...you're my hero" he said and left.
Yeah she already knew that...but it was nice to hear it from his lips. Gabriella made some calls before making that call. She took a deep breath and called Taylor.
"hello?" A female voice said.
"hi...Miss Taylor McKessie?" Gabriella asked.
"yes that's me" she said.
"umm...i'm calling to tell you that Mr. Bolton will be canceling your date for tonight"
"what? why the hell?" she asked.
"well...he didnt tell me any reason, he did say he had a wonderful time last night" she said.
"that son of a..." Taylor started.
Gabriella never knew someone could know so many bad words.
"listen Miss Mckessie...umm...he told me to sent you some flowers...it should be there in a moment"
"who are you anyways? his secretary?" she asked.
"in fact i am..." Gabriella said.
"well...tell him that if he needs a secretary to break up with me then he can take his flowers and put them..."
Gabriella hung up the phone...ok that girl sure wasnt easy...with Sharpay... it was easy but this other girl sure had a bad temper. She sighed and went back to work. Troy would be there soon and she had to finish work by noon. The meeting was over by 12:35, Gabriella was getting her things to leave and have some lunch with the other girls that worked in the building. Suddenly Troy walked inside.
"you're leaving?" he asked.
"yeah...i'm gonna have lunch with Martha and Serenity...i'll be back by 1:30 sir" she said.
Troy walked over to her desk, grabbed the phone and gave it to her.
"cancel any appointment...you'll be having lunch with me...i have something important to tell you" he said.
Gabriella grabbed the phone confused and not knowing what to do.
"make the call i'll wait for you by my car" he said and left.
Gabriella decided to send the girls a text while she took the elevator to the first floor...she waved at the doorman and walked outside still texting. Troy grabbed her arm and pulled her to his car. After telling the driver where to go he looked at her and smiled.
"what do you have to tell me?" she asked.
"be patient Gabs..." he said and looked outside the window.
"trust me...i'm everything but patient" she said...
"dont worry" he looked into her eyes with intention "you'll be fine"
Gabriella couldnt help wondering, about what he wanted to tell her...she was nervous...when Troy Bolton says he wants to tell you something important well...trust me...ITS important...
