Little sis, your home"
Sharpay's eyes widened as she saw her oldest sister, clad in nothing but a white towel that clung to her thin body, and wet brown locks, and hot steam that was coming from her long legs that was on show, and would fog up the windows.
"Gabriella?" Sharpay frowned, walking over to her. "What are you doing here?"
Gabriella shrugged, and grinned. "I missed you, now get your sexy arse over here and give me a hug" She squealed, as she sped walked over to her younger, and shell shocked sister and gave her a bone crushing hug.
Sharpay returned the hug confused, ignoring the droplets of Gabriella's hair that was making her top wet. "Well, where's Troy?" She said, as she pulled back to look at her sister.
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders, as she stepped away from the blonde. "He was here earlier"
Sharpay nodded once, and frowned again. "Well why are you here…alone?"
"Troy said I could stay here for a few days until I got myself sorted, you know a place to live and all that"
Sharpay shook her head slightly, cursing Troy for not talking to her about this before letting her sister stay with them, she loved Gabriella and everything but, she was a handful. That was one of the main reasons she never talked to Gabriella, she was closer to the middle sister than her, and that didn't faze Gabriella, she was her own person, and in some ways Sharpay was jealous of that.
"Oh did he know?" Sharpay responded, with some sort of attitude, which Gabriella frowned at and picked up on.
"Yeah? Is that a problem?" Gabriella asked, "Because if it is I can get dressed and leave"
Just as Sharpay was about to speak, a deep voice replaced her sweet sticky one.
"No you can stay" Troy said, as he looked from Gabriella, trying not to be dazed by her wearing nothing but one of his towels, then towards his wife. "She's family Shar"
Sharpay glared at him, and nodded. Signing knowing now was not the time to tell him about her affair she walked over to him and leaned forward placing her lips near his ear, as Gabriella looked at them, before rolling her eyes and walking over to her suitcase to grab some clothes,
"We need to talk" Sharpay whispered in his ear, and pulled away before walking towards the bedroom door letting Troy follow closely behind.
Sharpay let Troy walk in the bedroom with his arms crossed, she signed and shut the door before looking at him, feeling guilty and pissed off, because he hadn't told her about Gabriella being there.
"Why did you let her stay Troy? she's a bloody nightmare"
"Well if you were here, then maybe you could have told her she couldn't stay" He snapped at her. "It is not my responsibility to send her away Sharpay, she's your sister not mine"
Sharpay stepped back, and closed her eyes at the sound of her husband's harsh voice, knowing for definite that should come not tell him about her and her music producer that she knew the blue eyed boy didn't like. And it was all Gabriella's fault, this was the other thing Sharpay hated about her sister, she always needed the attention.
"Look I'm sorry for being late" She signed, looking away from him as she ran her hand over her face in a frustrated way. "Let's just talk about this later, we are going to need to find a way to get around hurricane Gabriella out there" She said, as her hands slipped away from her face, and pointed at the closed door.
Troy raised an eye brow at her as she looked back at him. "She can't be that bad can she? She seemed fine with me" Deciding to let go of the argue, not because of the fact that Sharpay had said about Gabriella being a handful, but the fact that he didn't want to be an arse to her in front of her or in the same house her sister was in.
"You don't know Gabriella the way I know her, you didn't live with her for fifteen years" Sharpay responded. "Even daddy is disappointment in the person she has become, all she's interested in is fucking random guys, and drinking, and partying every night"
Troy nodded once, clicking his tongue in response to what she had just said. "I see, well come on let's get back out there before she destroys the place"
Sharpay nodded smiling, glad that he had calmed down and decided not to get into an argument, walking over to him she wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his built chest that was covered by a light blue T-shirt that she used to love so much.
Shocked by her actions, he returned the hug and wrapped his arms around her thin waist and pulled her closer, laying his head on her head. "You ok?"
Sharpay looked up from his chest and into the pool of his bright blue eyes, and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"
Troy shrugged, and hugged her tighter. "This is the first hug you have given me in a long time, just wondered what put it on"
He couldn't help but think of the timing, first she hadn't hugged him or been this close to him in the last three months and a half, and she defiantly hadn't been intimate with him in three months, which left Troy very sexually frustrated, and now…. Gabriella is here this wife he had suddenly come to know has suddenly changed, like she's staking her claim, even if they was in the bedroom or in the same room as Gabriella, it was like …jealousy. That gave him a hope that if Sharpay was feeling like that, he didn't have any problem in losing her…
"Well do I need a reason to hug my husband and show my affection?" Sharpay said, as she pulled out of the hug and ran her fingers down his well ripped chest, that she knew underneath had a body any girl could dream of, even her sister would…
Shrugging again, and then grunted as she hit the bulge that was tight in his jeans, with her fingers and caressed it the way she used to, god it felt so good for her to be like this again he thought. But again he couldn't help but notice the timing, maybe she thought her sister would give him what she wasn't and that was, love…and lust.
"I-" He grunted again, not being able to handle the teasing anymore, he pulled her closer to him by her upper arms, so she was again flushed up against him wanting the human contact. "Come here" He said, as he crashed his lips onto her, melting into the kiss.
Sharpay was shocked by the sudden desire in her husband's actions, she couldn't do this. She couldn't do this right now, she hadn't had a shower, she still had the stench of another man all over her, even if she wanted this right now, she knew she couldn't, she couldn't let herself do this, and she couldn't hurt Troy more than what she was going to, and most importantly she couldn't do this to Zeke, she knew Troy was hormonal since they hadn't had sex in ages, but she couldn't do it, she didn't want to do it, she didn't want to be with him in any kind of sexual way, she shouldn't of hugged him the way she did, she was just scared…scared that he would fall in love with her sister, she didn't want that to happen, she didn't want Troy to find someone...better than her.
Deciding enough was enough, she pulled away from the fierce kiss Troy had started and wriggled out of his grasp as she saw Troy flutter his eyes open in hurt, anger and confusion.
"I need to go take a shower" Sharpay said, not meeting his eyes, before turning, walking towards the bedroom door, opening it and walking out without looking back into the direction of a hurt, confused, angry, and horny husband.
Troy looked ahead, to see his wife walk into the bathroom shutting the door behind her, then followed his eyes into the living room to see Gabriella sitting on the sofa looking straight at him with a raised eye brow and a smirk on her face as she saw the big bulge that was still tight in his pants, still begging to be released.
Troy raised an eye brow back at her, with a smirk on his face, challenging her. He didn't know why, but there was something so familiar about this girl, and he really couldn't put his finger on it, it made him want to know her more, even if it was in a brother in law way, but he also couldn't help the sexual tension between them both, it was like her body heat was radiating off of her and crashing straight into him, it was like their bodies knew each other from a past life. It drove Troy kind of wild.
Gabriella giggled, before biting her lip shrugging, she placed her long naked leg on the table, as the towel slid a little to see her exposed thigh, she turned away from the curious blue eyed boy, and started painting her toe nails still feeling his eyes burn a hole in the side of her head but acting as if she didn't see him watching her, she leaned forward and put down the bottle of nail varnish placing it on the wooden table and picked up some body lotion, opening the lid easily she put some in her left hand, and placed the bottle back down, before rubbing the liquid in her hands in a slow motion, still feeling eyes on her, she put her hands at the bottom of her leg and the beginning of her foot, and started to rub in the lotion, inching her hands up further, towards the top half of her leg, she let the towel open up more so he could get a perfect view of her naked ass, hearing a grunt at the side of her and a door slam, she giggled, before shaking her head and carried on appealing the lotion.
"Troy, I'm off out to the studio" Sharpay shouted, as she reached for the door handle. "I'll be back later"
Troy stormed out of the bedroom hearing what she had just said, and knowing Gabriella wasn't here and she was elsewhere, he glared at his wife as he stood in front of her. He had just about had enough of all this shit now, this is all she would do, wake up, have breakfast, get dressed, go to the studio, and then get home, have dinner and go bed, even Gabriella had asked Troy what has been going on and truth was, he didn't even know, so that's exactly what Troy had told her, he didn't know.
"Why the hell do you keep going to that studio Sharpay?" Troy said in anger, not being able to control it any longer.
"I swear Shar; you spend more time at that studio than you do your own home" Raising his voice higher, not letting her speak or explain herself, he was to frustrated with her and he needed to let it all go, everything he had been feeling in the past three months had finally spilled out.
"Your never home, we never spend time together, apart from when we are at school, you haven't even spent time with your sister since she has been here, you wouldn't even sleep in the same bedroom as me last night, am I that off putting that you don't want to be intimate with me anymore? Do you know how it feels? To think your wife doesn't want to be near you because you think she puts you off of having sex? Truth is Sharpay I could be out fucking some random right now, but I'm not, I'm here waiting for my wife to come back to me!" He shouted, before rubbing his large hand down his face showing his frustration.
"What the hell is your problem?" He said as his voice got softer, almost in a whisper, he looked into her eyes to see guilt through them.
She was taken back by his sudden outburst, all she could do was stare at him not being able to move, she didn't know what to say to any of that, she had been so wrapped up in school, music and of course Zeke, she hadn't spent any time with Gabriella, nor Troy but ever since two night in the bedroom when Troy had tried to seduce her, she had wanted to stay away from him as much as possible.
"Look" Sharpay paused, before biting her lower lip and releasing, opening the front door, she looked into his eyes.
"We will talk about this later, I have to go"
She said as she reached up and kissed him softly on the lips, like a wife kisses a husband goodbye, which he didn't return and just stood there with his eyes open, looking at her as she pulled away.
"Bye" She whispered, as she walked out of the door shutting it gently, Troy stood there in front of the door not moving, just watching his wife walk out on him.
An hour after Sharpay left Troy, he had decided that he needed some alone time. Away from the apartment, away from the place he shared with his wife, away from Gabriella, away from anything that had would be having daily dealings with, so he decided, the best way to forget everything that was going on in his life right now was to play basketball with his best friend.
"So, you say Sharpay's sister is in town?"
The dark skin boy asked with crazy afro hair as he caught the basketball that Troy had just shot through the hoop at the basketball court they had been going to since the age of twelve, Chad Danforth was the co captain of the East High Wildcats, and has been Troy's best friend since the day they hit four years old, and had been like brothers ever since.
Troy nodded, as Chad threw the ball back to him to take another shot, letting it hit the rim of the basketball hoop and roll onto the grass.
"Yeah" He said, as he sighed and thought about how familiar she looked to him again, he knew he had seen her from somewhere, it was really bothering him.
"Katherine?"
Chad asked almost in horror. Since he knew Sharpay's sisters more than Troy did, not because he didn't want to know them but it was at the fact last year Chad spent the whole summer with his parents and Sharpay's father, and sisters, and Sharpay herself and by the sounds of what Chad had spoke about last year he didn't really enjoy it. Troy was away in Hawaii with his mother and father, and he couldn't get out of it, it's a family tradition that they had been doing for years, and they wouldn't let Sharpay come along, even though she was now in fact Troy's family, she wasn't entitled to the holiday that she moaned about for weeks after he had returned.
"Nope" He paused, taking a breath and releasing. "Gabriella"
Chad's eyes widened for a couple of seconds, not believing Gabriella Montez was in town. He knew how the sisters acted around each other at times, and it wasn't pretty, and he knew that first hand, he was there when a fight broke out over something stupid.
"Wow, I bet Sharpay wasn't too happy about that"
He said as he walked over to the ball and picked him up, holding it under his arm, looking back over at a confused Troy.
"No she wasn't" He said, slightly confused at Chad's behavior, but dropped it. "Anyway, I feel like I know her from somewhere"
Chad shrugged his shoulders, sitting on the bench as Troy followed suit and sat down next to him.
"She was a senior when we were in freshman year, so maybe you saw her in the halls?"
Troy coughed, as he looked down at the wedding band that was on his left hand then back up at Chad.
"I think I've seen more than her in the halls Chad" Chad raised his eyebrows, showing interest so he continued. "I think she was" He paused, coughing again as he felt a lump in the back of his throat. "I think she was the first person I ever had sex with"
Chad's eyes grew wide as he dropped the ball in shock. "Dude" He said, as he slapped him on the back making him fall forward a little.
Troy chuckled slightly, and frowned suddenly. "But funny thing is, I don't even think she remembers me"
Chad chuckled, and slapped him on the back, and stood up so he didn't get slapped as to what he was about to say. "Well you can't have been that good if she can't remember you" He smirked, as Troy glared at him.
"Shut up man, even I can't remember, I was drunk" He responded as he stood up and punched Chad on the arm, making him wince even though he didn't hit him that hard, but chuckled.
"Are you going to tell Sharpay her sister deflowered you" He sniggered looking at his best friend.
Troy rolled his eyes, and picked up the basketball. "No I am not, since Gabriella doesn't remember, it's not like anyone is going to find out for her to be told" He chucked the ball to Chad who easily caught it. "Plus were going through a rough patch at the minute, and I don't fancy it opening a whole new problem"
"Oh yeah?" Chad said, as he made a three pointer. "Care to explain?"
Troy signed, and grabbed the ball before it hit the ground. "Well….."
After Troy had explained to Chad about what had been going on with him and Sharpay, Chad had to get back to Taylor, and Troy had to get back to Sharpay, even though he knew she wouldn't be there, but Gabriella most probably would be.
Opening the door to the apartment, he walked in and shut the door. "Sharpay?" He shouted as he walked further into the living room, but heard no response. "Gabriella?" He tried, but still no response.
"Great, and now I come home to fucking no one" Troy mumbled, not believing he came home to a empty apartment, when he should of stayed at the basketball court to practice on his slam-dunks.
"You know" Troy heard a familiar voice that he heard become used to in the past three days, and turned around. "Talking to your self is the first sign of madness"
Troy faked gasped, and held his hand other his mouth in horror. "No way" He said.
This of course had made Gabriella giggle at his childish behaviour that she had seemed to fell in love with, Troy takes his hand away from his mouth showing her his cheeky boyish grin that was covered over his gorgeous features.
Gabriella laughed more, as she walked over to the fridge, opening it, and grabbing a beer. "Do you want one?" She said as she turned around slightly holding up a beer, nodding at her, she tossed him the beer as he caught it with ease and turned back to grab herself one and shut it.
"So talk to me brother In-law" She said as she walked over to the sofa, and sat down on it, patting on the seat next to her motioning him to sit next to her, which he gladly accepted.
"What's going on with you and my little sister?" She asked, while leaning back and putting her long legs on the table, that again was bare, and Troy couldn't help but stare under her watchful eyes.
"What do you mean? Nothing's going on" Troy said, as he turned his attention away from her legs, as he was so tempted to run his rough hands up them, and looked up at her face.
"Oh please" She waved her hand dismissively. "She comes home late, you have a hurt expression on your face as soon as she walks out of the door the next day bright and early, the harsh glares that you guys throw at each other, and not to mention the heated arguments you guys have behind closed doors" Troy raised an eye brow at her, as she shrugged her shoulders. "I've heard you guys a few times"
Troy nodded once, and signed, before getting up and walking towards the drawer in the kitchen to grab the bottle opener. "Not that it's any of your business" He paused, and opened his beer, before chucking it at Gabriella so she can open hers, he shrugged as he leaned against the fridge door looking at her. "We are going through a rough patch at the minute, but I'm sure we will be fine soon"
Gabriella nodded in head in understanding, as she opened her beer and placed the bottle opener on the table, and looked back at him with a smirk on her face.
"You know, I'm shocked my little sister snagged such a hottie" Gabriella said, as she took a swing of her beer and placed It in her lap, as Troy's eyes went wide at what she had just said, and took a large swig of his beer. "Because normally I get them first"
Troy spat out his beer in shock, followed by a violent cough, and not noticing he had dropped the bottle that was in his hand, hearing the glass smash when it hit the kitchen floor tiles, looking back at Gabriella who was giggling, before he looked down at the floor that was now soaked in beer, and knew the floor was going to be sticky.
"Well u-" Troy stopped himself before he could go any further, and reached for the back of his neck and rubbed it, it was something he did when he was nervous and right now he was more than nervous. He let out a nervous chuckle.
Gabriella giggled more, as he looked down embarrassed, and decided it was enough to stop playing with him. "You want to go running with me tomorrow?"
Troy looked up at her slightly shocked, he knew she must of worked out to keep as fit as she was, but running? It kind of turned him on. "Umm, yeah sure"
Gabriella nodded at him and smiled. "Great" He smiled at her, and walked over to sit beside her again, trying to forget what happened just been said and done.
"So tell me about you? Why are you back in New Mexico?
Gabriella signed, and leaned over placing her beer bottle on the table, not looking at him. "I went to college" She nodded, and leaned back looking at him.
"I went to college, I was there for about a year and a half, but got expelled" Troy nodded once, interacting for her to carry on. "For sleeping with my professor"
Troy's eyes widened at her confession, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of the professor and disgusted in Gabriella all at once. "So yeah, that was great"
She laughed at herself. "Then I found out he was married, and that made things ten times worse…." She shrugged again. "And then I'm here, engaging in a conversation with my brother in-law"
"Wow" That was all Troy could say on the matter. "Seems like you have had" He paused, and continued. "A rough couple of years"
"You could say that" Gabriella said, as she frowned. "But oh well, life goes on"
Troy chuckled at how forward she can be in some situations, she was feisty, forward, a shameless flirt, fast with comebacks, honest, and a very, very attractive woman, she was nothing compared to Sharpay, and honestly he absolutely loved it.
"So I spoke to my friend Chad earlier" He stated, as Gabriella nodded in response.
"That's the one with the crazy afro right?"
Troy chuckled at her come back, and replied. "Yeah, he told me how you and Sharpay are sometimes?" He said, as he leaned back in the sofa still looking at her. "What's the deal with that"?
Gabriella shrugged as she leaned back, the same way Troy had a couple of seconds ago, as her neck was starting to hurt from the angel she was looking at him as they spoke to each other.
"I just think she resents me sometimes"
He wriggled his eye brows at her, letting her continue and to show that whatever was said right now he wouldn't go back and tell Sharpay.
"Why?" He asked.
Shrugging, she looked at her hands that were sat in her lap. "I think its because I'm different from her and Katherine, and that's what she hates, she's all about getting good grades, impressing our father, and making my mother proud" She said, and signed. "And me, I've never really cared about grades, impressing my father, or making my mother proud, I'm more about being real, going out with friends, partying, hanging out with guys"
She said as she looked at her brother in-law with tears in her eyes.
"I guess they just want me to be like them, and I won't allow it" She admitted softly, which made Troy's heart skip three beats.
"Gabriella" He said as he scooted closer to her, but in some ways still keeping his distance, but resting his arm on the back of the sofa behind her, looking into her beautiful brown eyes. "You can be whoever you want to be" He smiled, as she smiled back at him. "I think the person you are right now, is perfect"
He continued, and reached up with his other hand and placed a stray of her hair behind her ear that fell in front of her face, and he swore he could hear her gasp quietly at his touch, letting his hand rest back on his knee, looking at her.
"Thank you Troy" She said, before ducking her head and moving it away closing her eyes, feeling the butterflies that were now flying around her stomach, making her heart beat fast at the close proximity of them.
