Baby S
Chapter Two
Troy was the first one to wake up, and he did so with a smile on his face. Looking down he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face when he realized that in his arms he was holding Taylor. Bending his head he looked at her for a moment, before kissing her on her forehead. Sliding from beneath her, he knelt down by the edge of the bed and started to kiss her all over her face starting with her forehead, the her eyelids and ending with her mouth where he softly pecked her lips until she woke up. "Humm, I like that."
"See, this is what you're missing when you don't stay till morning." He whispered in her ear as she giggled at the feel of his breath on her neck. "Now don't you want to stay all the time?"
"Sure, I do Troy but then again I have school."
"What it's not like I don't have to go to work." He said leaning back on his heels; Taylor looked at him for a moment before blushing when she noticed that he was completely in the nude.
"Troy, if you going to just talk to me the least you could do is put on some underwear." He looked down at her and grinned before walking around to the other side of the room to his dresser. Taylor propped herself up on her elbow and looked at his backside. "Honey, did you know you had a muffin booty." He looked at her over his shoulder and made a surprised face before shaking his head.
"Um…no."
"Well you do," she said with a giggle as he pulled on his boxer shorts. Troy turned around and walked back over to the bed and slide in beside Taylor. Wrapping his arms around her she sighed and leaned against him. "Don't you have practice or something?"
"Nope not today…that was an impressive win and Coach Howard decided to let us have the weekend off since our next game isn't till next Friday. Hey do you think you can come to that game." Taylor who was resting her head on his uncovered chest looked up at Troy for a moment before nodding her head.
"Yeah I think I'll able to make it." She said, just as her cell phone went off glancing at Troy for a second who had rolled his eyes at the interruption she got up dragging the sheet with her and went to her purse that was currently sitting on the lounger on the other side of the room. "Hello." She answered.
"Taylor, its Gabriella oh thank god I found you…girls and I were getting worried." Gabriella exclaimed with a sigh. "Where are you?" Taylor glanced at Troy who was mouthing 'Who is it?' from across the room. When she mouthed back that it was Gabriella he nodded and fell back on the bed onto his back.
"Somewhere." Taylor answered evasively
"Okay fine you don't have to answer but did you forget what today was." Taylor thought for a moment her mind drawing a blank before she sighed and said.
"No, what's today."
"It's Ryan opening night…everyone said they were supposed to be there and then we're all going out to eat to celebrate…Taylor come on you promised months ago." Placing a hand on her forehead Taylor nodded and sighed for a moment.
"You're right I did…well when do we meet."
"It's at the UCLA center for performing arts…and we all agreed to meet there at five this afternoon." Taylor glanced over at Troy's alarm clock and sighed with relief when she read that it was only nine o'clock in the morning.
"Okay but will everyone be there." She said hinting at two certain people, she heard Gabriella sigh and then answer.
"Well Sharpay is Ryan's twin sister and Chad is her boyfriend so I think that they'll both be there. Sorry."
"No…no it's okay I can handle it. I don't want to feel like a fifth wheel but do you know if Troy is coming."
"Why don't you ask him I know he's there with you." Gabriella said
"What!"
"You and him aren't that good at hiding whatever attractive you both have for one another…Ray Charles could see it." She said laughing at Taylor's speechlessness. Taylor blushed and sighed.
"You could always read me."
"That's what best friends are for…now I better see you at UCLA this afternoon or I'm coming over to Troy's house and dragging you both out of there." She said with a giggle.
"Fine, we'll be there okay."
"Good. TTFN." Taylor smiled and hung up the phone, Troy was still on his back when he asked her a question.
"So who was that…I'm going to assume that it was Gabriella?" Taylor got up and walked back over to the bed only to be pulled down onto of Troy. She giggled as he rolled them over so that he was on top. "So what did she say?"
"She just called to remind me that we are supposed to go to Ryan's play tonight." Troy sighed as he remembered promising Ryan he'd been there months ago.
"I remember now what time or we suppose to meet up over there."
"Five."
"Damn that doesn't give us a lot of time." He mumbled before kissing her, Taylor sighed and pushed him up and off of her. He hit the bed with a moan and watched as she climbed out of bed and grabbed the silk robe he had bought her months ago.
"Exactly so I am going to go ahead and make us breakfast," she said as she brushed her hair out of her face. "You can come too, but you have to promise you won't distract me from cooking."
"Scouts honor." Troy stated cheekily, Taylor smiled and headed out the door going downstairs before she shouted back.
"You weren't even a scout, Troy."
After he pulled on some pajama bottoms he decided to wait for awhile by turning on the television and looking at ESPN to see what the sport analysis were saying about the action that had taken place last night. He was happy to see that his team's win last night had propelled them into first place by five games. Beating the L.A. Clippers had not only made his team first, it pushed back the Clippers to third place which made the Sacramento Kings second. When he thought that Taylor should be halfway through with breakfast he wonders downstairs with a huge smile on his face as the aroma of what she was cooking hit his nostrils. "Baby you're going to spoil me." He whispered as he entered the kitchen and walked up behind her putting his arms around her petite body and pulling her against him
"What are you talking about this is all for me." Taylor answered smartly before leaning against his chest and running her hands up and down his arms. Troy picked up one of the slices of apples she had cut up and brought the fruit to her mouth. Taylor took a bite and Troy smiled as she licked the tip of his finger before taking another bite. Once she had finished she removed herself from his arms and smiled. "We better stop before you either not everything off this table or carry me upstairs."
"You're right…I almost got carried away." He admitted blushing as he shrugged and walked over to her side of the table and pulling out her chair.
"Thank you, Troy." He kissed her cheek before moving away and going to his side of the table and getting into his seat. In companionable silence they ate their breakfast perfectly content with being in one another's company. The only sound in the kitchen was the sound of forks hitting the plates as they ate. Once they were finished Troy leaned back and patted his stomach.
"Tay, you know you could give my mother a run for her money."
"Well my mom always said the way to a man was through his stomach." Troy raised a eyebrow at her words and smiled.
"Well then you got me." Smiling she sat her fork down and looked at him for a brief moment before glancing down at her watch.
"We should be getting ready."
"It's only twelve." He exclaimed looking at her as if she was crazy, Taylor just stood up and looked at him for a moment.
"You and I both know that I need to go back to my dorm and get some clothing so I can." She was interrupted by Troy who shook his head and grabbed her hands.
"You're forgetting you've got ton of clothes here…remember every time you come over here you leave a whole outfit. It's gotten so bad that my mom came over here once and was asking me if I had a live in girlfriend, I mean you've got at least one third of my closet."
"Okay fine, but we still need to get ready now because who knows what type of distractions just might pop up." Troy grinned at her choice of words and nodded his head in agreement.
"You're right who knows what just might pop up." He said as he picked her up and carried back upstairs and into his bedroom.
Sharpay and Chad stood beside Gabriella at the entrance of the UCLA performing arts theater waiting on Troy and Taylor to show up. Sharpay brushed her blonde hair behind her ear and looked over at Gabriella who was nervously rocking on her heels. "Are you sure they're coming maybe you shouldn't have told them about us coming too."
"That would be incredibly stupid; you're Ryan's sister they'd had to know at least you would be here." Chad who had finally torn himself away from some fans of the Clippers walked back over to where Sharpay and Gabriella where chatting.
"Are they coming together?"
"Maybe they're still mad at us and don't want to show up." Sharpay said as she started to worry even more. Chad wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to his side, brushing his lips on her cheek he smiled reassuringly at his girlfriend.
"They aren't mad at us, I mean they still talk to us right so of course they aren't mad anymore." He whispered. Gabriella looked over at them and then twisted her fingers together nervously.
"I hope they show up soon, Kelsi and Jason can't keep those seats much longer with all these people showing up." Gabriella said with a nervous sigh as she looked out into the crowd coming into the theater. She smiled when she saw Troy and Taylor walking up the stairs quietly having a conversation amongst themselves. Waving her hands in the air she called out to them and couldn't help but keep the smile from her face as they saw her. Troy and Taylor came up the stairs and embraced their friend.
"Hey, Gabby how's your man holding up." Troy asked, Gabriella smiled at the mention of Ryan and immediately started talking about how nervous Ryan was and how she had to constantly tell him that he would do fine tonight in the play.
"He's doing better but he was a mess earlier this morning." She answered. Sharpay and Chad stood silently to the side not wanting to get in the way of Troy and Taylor greeting Gabriella.
"Well, did you guys see Sharpay and Chad?" Gabriella said trying the bridge the gap between her friends. Troy turned around and looked both Chad and Gabriella down while Taylor stood by his side like some silence force. Chad decided to break the tension and extended his hand towards Troy.
"Hey man, you played real well last night. Got people talking about you getting rookie of the year honors and things." He said with a smile as he looked at Troy hoping his old friend would shake his hand. Troy just nodded, ignoring the hand and forced a smile.
"Thanks, Gabby we better get inside so we won't mess the play I know Ryan will be upset if his girlfriend missed it." He said as he placed an arm around Taylor's waist and they followed Gabriella inside, Chad and Sharpay followed slowly trying not to let the cold shoulder that had been given to them by Troy and Taylor hurt them to much. Instead they tried to stay focus on Ryan and being happy for him.
Troy sat down by Taylor he had the end of the row, and Taylor was sitting next to Gabriella who was sitting next to Sharpay. Leaning back in his seat, Troy opened up the program he had been given at the door and flipped through it. "'Much Ado About Nothing', so who is Ryan supposed to be again." He whispered leaning down so he wouldn't disturb anyone else. Taylor looked up at him and pointed to Ryan's name on the program.
"He's Benedict, the main character…and he's suppose to fall in love with Beatrice." She said as Troy nodded his head and closed the program.
"Do you think I'll like it?"
"You're love it…it's one of my favorite Shakespeare plays by far." He nodded his head and quieted down as the curtains pulled back and the play started. The play was going real well, and Troy found himself enjoying the play and he had to admit Ryan was doing a hell of a job because there was no way he could remember half the things that Ryan had to remember and act out.
"I'll tell thee what, prince; a college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humour. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram? No: if a man will be beaten with brains, a' shall wear nothing handsome about him. In brief, since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it; and therefore never flout at me for what I have said against it; for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion. For thy part, Claudio, I did think to have beaten thee, but in that thou art like to be my kinsman, live unbruised and love my cousin." Ryan said, Gabriella leaned over towards Taylor and whispered.
"He's doing so well I don't know why he was so worried." She said with a smile spreading over her face as the actors finished the play.
"I know he did a good job." She said as they stood up and clapped as the actors came out and bowed. "Come on I know you want to see him when he comes off stage." Taylor said and with that everyone got up and headed towards the actors' entrance so they could wait for Ryan to make his exit. They stood out there for a good few minutes before came out; Gabriella went over to him and hugged him tightly.
"Baby, you did so good up there." He smiled and kissed her and the smiled at everyone else. "Come on we gotta go and make sure we get to the restaurant before they give away our table."
"Alright is everyone coming?" He asked knowing the tension between his sister and her boyfriend, and Taylor and Troy. Gabriella looked back at the group and they all nodded their heads. "Well come on then let's go."
"Taylor, you wanna go drop your car off at the dorms while I follow and then we'll drive over to the restaurant together." Troy asked as everyone started making their way out of the theater, he noticed how his question had gotten the attention of both Chad and Sharpay seeing as how they stopped to watch this interaction. Taylor smiled and nodded her head.
"That would be fine, Troy."
"Gabriella, we'll meet you guys at Justin's okay." When Gabriella nodded Troy and Taylor made their way into the parking lot, and headed over to Taylor's dorm. Sharpay and Chad walked over to Gabriella and Ryan.
"What's going on with them?" Chad asked curiously as he looked out into the parking where he could see Troy's Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG pulling out behind Taylor black Camry. Gabriella just looked over at him and shrugged.
"I don't know what you mean they seem like friends to me."
"Or something more." He mumbled, Sharpay nodded her head in agreement as she and Chad walked towards his car.
Taylor parked her car, and quickly went over to Troy's car and climbed inside. As soon as she was buckled up he sped off down the road. She watched him briefly for a moment before asking. "Troy are you okay."
"I am fine, baby why."
"I've never seen you so upset before, are you sure you're doing okay." She said reaching over and placing her hand on his forehead to afraid to touch his hand since he was driving stick. Troy pulled up to a red light and looked up at her with a smile on his face.
"Baby, I'm fine…why?"
"You just seemed a little tense around Chad is all." Troy sucked his teeth at the mention of his friend's name, and starting driving again.
"I'm just not up for the bullshit." He mumbled as he turned onto the expressway and began heading towards their exit where Justin's was located. "Besides I'm just not in the mood to keep up appearances."
"Okay fine." She said, he looked over at her and sighed.
"Baby, come on now…you know I'm not jealous maybe a little upset over how he constantly thinks that everything is cool between us but for real I'm not jealous at all…I've got you and that makes me the luckiest man." She smiled at his words and just shook her head.
"You certainly know how to make a girl feel special."
"No, baby I only know how to make you feel special." He said winking at her before returning his full attention to the road. Moments later they pulled into the restaurant parking lot. They quickly made their way inside and saw their friends at a table in a secluded area after telling the hostess they were with that party they made their way over to the table. Troy pulled out Taylor's chair and then sat down in the only available seat which was next to Ryan. "So what did we miss." He asked looked at Ryan and Gabriella. Ryan looked at his sister and Chad and then back at Troy.
"My sister and Chad were just about to share some news." Troy glanced over at the pair before sighing and motioning for them to go ahead and tell their news. Chad and Sharpay shared a glance and then together they stood up holding hands. Troy leaned back in his chair, as they started to speak.
"Alright guys we've given this a lot of thought over the last few months and Sharpay and I have decided to-."
"Get Married!" Sharpay exclaimed holding out her hand to show off her huge diamond ring. Troy rubbed his forehead for a moment looking at them before glancing at the other people at the table. He was worried about Taylor who was just looking at them in shock before she got up and walked away, Troy immediately got up and followed her.
