Chapter 2: It's Too Late

xx

We gotta make Love just one last time in the shower

'Cause Something's Gotta go Wrong

'Cause I'm feeling way Too Damn Good …

Gabriella began walking down the stairs when she bumped into her mother.

"Como va todo linda?" her mother asked in her perfect Spanish accent.

"Super ma" she smiled and quickly walked down the rest of the stairs.

She walked into the kitchen to find Sharpay sitting on the counter table, leaning back on one of the cabinets.

For just a moment, Gabriella thought of Sharpay looked really good in her short pants and yellow shirt that due to her position, let her see that very flat-toned belly that Sharpay always managed to have.

"Why are you staring? Do I have something on my face?" Sharpay asked worriedly and quickly grabbed the miniature mirror she always carried around in her back pocket.

"Um no, I just went on a little back trip there" she smiled quickly and then walked over the counter because next to Sharpay were all the utensils she needed. She fought the urge to look to the side and stare at her belly again. It was so fit it shined! Gabriella mused in her head.

"Pay, mind getting me three eggs, milk and butter?"

Sharpay glared at her, "Yes I do mind Gabriella, do you think I'm your slave?"

Gabriella shook her head slowly and rolled her eyes resting her hand on Sharpay's right thigh unconsciously,

"Pay… don't overreact, I'm just asking you for a favor" Gabriella looked up at Sharpay and saw she had a strange look on her face.

Sharpay had her lips parted as she breathed quicker than usual.

"Pay, are you alright?" Gabriella asked leaning closer to the blonde, trying to understand her mood.

Sharpay then rested her head on Gabriella's shoulder, making Gabriella confused for a second but still went on with whatever Sharpay was doing.

She began moving her fingers in circles on Sharpay's thigh.

"Everything alright?" Gabriella asked softly

Sharpay simply nuzzled her head deep into Gabriella's neck and stayed there for what seemed like forever.

Sharpay took a deep breath, then froze and got up quickly, walking towards the refrigerator.

"Three eggs, milk and butter, right?"

"Uh, yeah" Gabriella answered still confused about what had just happened.

The next half an hour went just like they had both assumed it would.

Awkward.

Gabriella was a few minutes trying to get some kind of emotion out of Sharpay but Sharpay had gone into complete lock down and no one would get in, and Gabriella was in no mood to try to persuade Sharpay.

"Brownies are ready" Gabriella said after sticking the knife in the middle of the brownies and taking it out to see if they were done.

"Does it look like I care?" Sharpay spat out and began walking out of the kitchen.

"Hey, wait"

Sharpay looked at Gabriella over her shoulder, "Yeah?"

Gabriella let out a beautiful smile, "Thanks for helping me Pay"

"Yeah well, don't get use to it" Sharpay spat out as Gabriella stared at the back of her head until Sharpay was gone.

She had a funny smile on her face, she loved it when Sharpay was mean to her but actually meant to say something nice. It was insanely cute in Gabriella's eyes.

"I'm home," Ryan warned as he walked into the kitchen with Jason following shyly behind.

"What's got you day dreaming?" Ryan teased as he saw the state in which Gabriella was.

She quickly turned her face back to normal and cleared her throat, "Oh, nothing and I can see you're not alone" she teased back

He rolled his eyes, "I told you I was going to pick up Jason from his house"

Gabriella chuckled and decided to not torture Ryan so badly, "How are you Jason?"

"I'm alright Gabby, how about you?" he asked back letting out a soft smile.

"I'm great but I'm going to go upstairs to take a bath… as for you two, behave" she winked before leaving two blushing males behind.

It starts in my toes,

Makes me wrinkle my nose,

That you make me smile even just for a while ...

xx

As Gabriella made her way to the bathroom, she heard a sweet melody coming from Sharpay's room:

Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling

Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café

And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings

You get me every time

Sharpay's sweet voice had drawn Gabriella into her room. Luckily, Sharpay was facing towards the window as she played sweet melody with her guitar so she didn't see the brunette standing right behind her:

Why d'ya have to be so cute?

It's impossible to ignore you

Must you make me laugh so much

It's bad enough we get along so well

Say goodnight and go

Sharpay stopped abruptly and froze for a few seconds.

"What do you want?" she asked angrily, turning around to look at Gabriella

"Who's that song for?" she said shrugging

"I didn't write it, I don't know who's it for"

Gabriella sat next to Sharpay, "No I mean, whom are you singing it for?"

"Oh, you know… Troy Bolton?" Sharpay said quickly and then closed her eyes in pure frustration.

Gabriella chuckled loudly, "He's so bad in bed"

Sharpay turned around faster than ever and stared at Gabriella, "You slept with him?"

"Well, yeah he was my first"

"Was he good?" Sharpay asked looking down at the strings of her guitar.

Gabriella smirked, "Not really, he was selfish enough to cum and leave"

Sharpay didn't say anything; she just rested her hand on top of Gabriella's.

Gabriella smiled, understanding Sharpay's little message through the sweet gesture.

"Thanks Pay but it's ok. Sure, I was hoping my first time to be extremely awesome and magical but now I'm sure going to wait for the right person and not the first idiot with cute ass that comes along so now I'm… single and happy"

"What?" Sharpay asked putting on her confused face.

Gabriella let out a small giggle, "You don't want to know"

"Ok then" Sharpay put the guitar beside her and Gabriella quickly grabbed it.

"Let. Go. Of. My. Guitar." Sharpay punctuated every single word in a warning tone, you see, the Evans where really serious about their instruments, Ryan's baby was the piano and Sharpay's baby was the baby blue electric guitar that lay in Gabriella's arms in the moment.

Gabriella put her hands in place and smirked at her, "Or what?"

Sharpay simply glared at Gabriella, which made Gabriella smile in victory and clear her throat.

"I gave you this guitar, doesn't that give me some authority of it?" Gabriella smirked and Sharpay shook her head angrily.

"My Gift. My Guitar. Give it back." Sharpay said in an angry tone she always used.

"Want to know the song I thought of when I was having sex?" Gabriella smirked when Sharpay moved around uncomfortably.

"No. Give it back. Now."

Gabriella chuckled at how cute Sharpay was when she acted immature, and cleared her throat again, walking towards Sharpay's nightstand and grabbing her pink ray-ban wayfarers and putting them on,

Get down, Make Love

Gabriella sang that first line of one of the songs she and Sharpay use to sing and dance to.

"Gabriella, give it back" Sharpay warned but Gabriella had other ideas when she played two chords and began singing again:

Get down, Make Love

Get down, Make Love

Gabriella's back was all Sharpay could see as Gabriella shook her bum in rhythm as she sang the high note of the last phrase of the song before it went to the first verses. She looked back at Sharpay teasingly and shook her bottom a little and with a smirk on her face began playing and singing:

Get down, Make Love

You take my body

I give you heat

You say your hungry

I give you meat

With the same smirk, Gabriella turned around and played a few chords in the baby blue guitar as Sharpay bit her bottom lip hard, Gabriella looked so sexy right now.

I suck your mind

You blow my head

Make love -

Inside your bed - everybody get down make love

Get down make love -

Get down make love

Get down make love -

Gabriella played a few notes and looked up at Sharpay's expression and chuckled.

"You don't like that song? Ok then let me think" Gabriella brought a finger up to her chin and began thinking of another song.

Gabriella smirked and played a few chords, danced a little and then began singing again:

Everytime I get hot

You wanna cool down

Everytime I get high

You say you wanna come down

You say its enough

In fact its too much.

Everytime I get a - Get down, get down,

Make love -

Sharpay glared at her, "I thought you said you were changing the song"

Gabriella smiled sheepishly at her, "Couldn't help it"

She gave Sharpay the guitar back but instead of leaving, took the hat Sharpay was currently wearing and began dancing goofily:

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things

Gabriella wiggled her eyebrows in a funny manner, "C'mon Pay, you know the rest"

Sharpay shook her head as Gabriella gave her a teasing smile as she approached her.

"C'mon Pay" she put her forehead on top of Sharpay's and for a second, Gabriella could have sworn Sharpay's blue eyes looked into her eyes but then Sharpay ran out of the room.

"What the… Sharpay!" Gabriella yelled as she took the guitar and followed the blonde who ran into her brother's room.

Gabriella followed her confused and closed Ryan's door behind her to see Sharpay sit on the piano stool and press the keys perfectly.

'We can do the tango just for two'Sharpay sang softly.

Sharpay looked back at Gabriella and the look on Sharpay's eyes made Gabriella smile as she started singing again:

I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings

Be your valentino just for you

Gabriella and Sharpay looked at each other and smiled, Gabriella gave Sharpay the guitar and Gabriella stood in front of the piano as they both began to play and sing at the same time:

Ooh love - ooh loverboy

What're you doin' tonight, hey boy

Set my alarm, turn on my charm

That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy

Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (Grow faster, faster)

Ooh ooh can you feel my love heat

Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love

And tell me how do you feel right after-all

I'd like for you and I to go romancing

Say the word - your wish is my command

Both girls began dancing around and singing their hearts out with big smiles on their faces:

Ooh love - ooh loverboy

What're you doin' tonight, hey boy

Write my letter

Feel much better

And use my fancy patter on the telephone

"Take it Pay" Gabriella said, as her fingers got lost in the beautiful notes she played on the piano. She laughed as Sharpay put a funny face and began singing the slow part of the song:

When I'm not with you

I think of you always

(I miss those long hot summer nights)

I miss you

When I'm not with you

Think of me always

Love you - love you

Both girls got on top of the bed with Ryan's hairbrushes pretending they were microphones as they sang into them:

Hey boy where do you get it from

Hey boy where did you go ?

I learned my passion in the good old

Fashioned school of loverboys

"Do it Bri" Sharpay smirked at her and Gabriella began dancing goofily towards Ryan's dressing room and came out with a scarf made out of pink feathers; she pointed around as she sang into the hairbrush again:

Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely

One two three four five six seven eight nine o' clock

I will pay the bill, you taste the wine

Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely

Just take me back to yours that will be fine

(Come on and get it)

Ooh love, (There he goes again just like a good old-fashioned lover boy)

Ooh loverboy

What're you doin' tonight, hey boy

Everything's all right

Just hold on tight

That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy

When both girls finished, they collapsed on the bed laughing really hard at the silliness of the moment.

It took Gabriella a few seconds to figure out the position she was in. She was lying on top of Sharpay, with her face resting on Sharpay's chest and her arms lying loosely around her waist.

And there it was again.

The feeling that Sharpay was looking at her and she could have sworn she felt Sharpay's hand caress her back or was that her own hair?

Confused, Gabriella's hand reached up her back, looking for an explanation and felt the contact of Sharpay's hand.

Her eyes widened and she looked up at Sharpay, taking her hand in her own.

Sharpay had her eyes closed like if she were savoring the moment or was she just trying to breathe because Gabriella was on top of her?

'Grrr confusing' Gabriella thought closing her own eyes but opened them when she felt getting pushed away.

"Get off Gabriella, do you think I'm furniture?" Sharpay said angrily pushing Gabriella away.

But Gabriella only held her closer, "No… don't go back to ice cold just yet, let me enjoy my old Sharpay a little while longer" Gabriella whined with a frown.

Sharpay rolled her eyes and pushed Gabriella completely away.

"It's too late Gabriella" she sighed and got up to get out of Ryan's room.

"Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?" Gabriella said out loud and Sharpay stopped on her tracks.

"No matter how bitchy you may pretend to be, Shapray I know you better than you know yourself and I know you miss me, I just know it"

Gabriella glared at the back of Sharpay's head as Sharpay took deep breaths.

"Shut the hell up Gabriella, you don't know anything" Sharpay let out a hiss and stormed out of the room.

Gabriella stared at the poster of 'The Notebook' that Ryan had in his room and sighed,

'I wish life were a fairytale then that way Sharpay would be here laughing with me, talking about pink jelly or something' Gabriella thought and dug her face in Ryan's pillow, letting out a scream from deep inside of her.
