Adventures in Babysitting

Gabriella Montez chewed on her lower lip as she waited for her boyfriend Troy Bolton to show up. She'd tried to call him, but he hadn't answered his phone.

"Gabby, I wanna play dress up," her six-year-old cousin Brianne whined.

Gabriella sighed as she looked at her cousin. "I said I'd play with you as soon as I talked to Troy," she told her.

"But I wanna play now," Brianne crossed her arms.

"You can go play in the street," Gabriella said under her breath. Her aunt and Brianne had recently moved to Albuquerque and were living with Gabriella and her mother until their house was ready to move into.

Up until five minutes ago, she had been looking forward to escaping her mother, aunt and cousin and going out with Troy, but then her mom and aunt found an ad for an estate sale and decided to leave Gabriella in charge of her bratty cousin.

"We'll be back in an hour," her mother promised before she and her sister left, laughing like school girls.

Hearing Troy's truck pull into the driveway, Gabriella turned to her cousin and said, "Stay inside." Then she left the house and met Troy on the path between the driveway and front door. "Change of plans, I have to babysit Brianne."

"You mean the little girl that just ran out of the house after your cat?" Troy asked.

"What?" Gabriella spun around and saw her cousin running after her cat Smokey. "Crap!"

"I'll get her," Troy offered when he saw that Gabriella wasn't wearing any shoes. He chased after Brianne and returned a couple seconds later with her holding his hand.

"Bri, I told you to stay in the house," Gabriella said and pointed to the house.

"You're a mean babysitter!" Brianne shouted before she stormed into the house.

"Do you want me to hang out?" Troy asked Gabriella.

"No, you should probably just go home, knowing my mom and aunt, they won't be home for hours," Gabriella sighed.

"Alright, call if you need anything," Troy said. He gave her a quick kiss then headed to his car.

Gabriella waved then walked to the front door. She tried to open it but it was locked. "Shit!" She cursed and waved Troy down. "She locked me out!"

Troy chuckled as he climbed out of his truck. "Okay, come on," he said. He took Gabriella's hand. "Is your balcony door unlocked?"

"Did you lock it when you left last night?" Gabriella asked smiling.

"Nope," Troy replied. They walked into the backyard then he helped her up the tree and they climbed onto her balcony and into her room. "Let's go find your cousin."

They found Brianne sitting on the kitchen floor picking the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms box and Troy grabbed Gabriella's arm before she could grab the box.

"But she's eating all the marshmallows," Gabriella pouted. "And she locked me out of the house."

"But yelling at her won't make her want to behave," Troy reasoned. "Look, go call your mom and find out if it's okay if we take Brianne out somewhere."

"Where?" Gabriella asked.

"It's a free day at the zoo," Troy told her.

"How do you know that?" Gabriella asked him.

"Chad's mom makes him take his sisters," Troy shrugged. "So go call and find out if it's okay. I'll deal with Brianne."

Gabriella left the room to call her mom and after getting permission, she returned to the kitchen and found Troy and Brianne eating bowls of Lucky Charms.

"They said it was okay," she told Troy as she peered into the box of Lucky Charms and sighed in relief when she saw marshmallows.

"Awesome," Troy said after swallowing a bite. "Why don't you tell Brianne what we're doing today."

"Okay," Gabriella replied. "Bri, Troy is taking us to the zoo today."

"REALLY?!" Brianne squealed. "Can we see the monkeys and the elephants and the giraffes?"

"We can see what ever you want to see," Troy promised.

"Yes!" Brianne said, pushing away her bowl. "Let's go!"

"You might want to get dressed first," Troy told her. "The monkeys might laugh if you show up wearing your pajamas."

Gabriella watched in amazement as Brianne fled from the room, not even her own mother could get the spoiled six-year-old to change out of her pajamas.

"How did you do that?" She asked Troy.

"I've had a lot of practice with Chad's sisters," Troy shrugged. "Though, I'm not looking forward to this coming school year. McKenna will be a freshman this year and lord knows the eighth grade boys were drooling over her last year. Zeke, Jason and I have already offered to help Chad keep an eye on her and I can guarantee that any guy who even thinks about her in the wrong way will end up with a black eye." Gabriella shook her head. "What?"

"You four are going to scare every boy away from her and I can guarantee she's not going to like it," Gabriella stated as Brianne slid into the room dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a multicolored tank top.

"Let's go people!" Brianne said, throwing her arms into the air.

"Guess it's time to go," Troy shrugged as he stood up. He took Gabriella's hand and they followed Brianne out to his truck. "Miss Brianne, you get to sit in the middle." He helped her into the truck then turned to Gabriella. "Smile, we'll have fun." He closed the door as soon as Gabriella was in then walked around to his side. "Let's get this show on the road!"

Gabriella shook her head as Troy and Brianne sang along with the radio as he drove the fifteen miles to the zoo. The parking lot was packed when they got there and after five minutes of circling, Troy finally found a parking spot. Then the three of them got out of the truck and walked hand-in-hand to the front gates.

They got their hands stamped and then Troy helped Brianne put on her safety bracelet-a paper with Gabriella's name, relationship to Brianne and Troy's cell phone number on it.

"Okay ladies, what should we do first?" He asked.

"I want ice cream!" Brianne shouted. "And cotton candy and-"

"He meant what animal do you want to see first," Gabriella told her cousin. "You don't get any-"

"Ice cream sounds good to me, too," Troy stated. "And I think a certain person here could use a scoop of chocolate ice cream." He smiled at Gabriella. "Maybe even a little whip cream and some sprinkles."

"Fine," Gabriella sighed and followed Troy and Brianne to the ice cream bar.

With their ice cream cones in hand, the trio headed for the monkey habitat and watched as two baby monkeys fought over the same banana.

"Troy!" Hearing his name called Troy and Gabriella turned and saw their best friends Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth walking towards them with Chad's six-year-old sister Jasmine following.

"What are you guys doing here?" Chad asked as he and Troy did their silly handshake.

"We're babysitting my cousin," Gabriella replied, motioning to Brianne.

"I don't think she's supposed to be doing that," Chad said.

Gabriella and Troy spun around and Troy grabbed Brianne from the fence she was climbing. "We gotta stay down here kiddo," he told her.

"But the monkey stole my ice cream!" Brianne exclaimed, pointing to a monkey in a tree.

They all looked up and sure enough there was a monkey munching on her ice cream cone. They watched as another monkey came up and the two monkeys started fighting over the ice cream cone and it was launched into the air, flew out of the cage and landed in Gabriella's hair.

"Oh my god!" Gabriella screamed as the melted ice cream mixed with monkey drool slid down her hair. "Get it off!!"

Troy bit back a laugh as he pulled the ice cream cone off Gabriella's head and tossed it in a nearby garbage can.

"Troy can we please go home?" Gabriella cried.

"Noooo," Brianne wailed. "I don't want to go home yet."

Ever the peacekeeper, Taylor stepped in and suggested, "Why don't you stay with us sweetie?"

Brianne looked at Taylor then at Troy, unsure.

"It's okay, Brianne," Troy smiled. "Chad is my best friend and Taylor is Gabriella's. And Chad's sister Jasmine is your age. I think you two would have a lot of fun together."

"Are you sure this will be okay with her mom?" Chad asked.

"Yeah, Gabriella's mom trusts you," Troy shrugged. "Do you guys just want to drop her off on you're way home?"

"Sure, that sounds good," Taylor nodded. "What animal should we see next?"

"ELEPHANTS!" Jasmine and Brianne shouted.

"See, I knew you two would be good friends," Taylor smiled. She and Chad said goodbye to Troy and Gabriella before they walked off with the two six-year-olds.

"Come on, let's get you home," Troy said, slipping his arm around Gabriella's waist.

"I hate monkeys," Gabriella pouted as they headed for the truck.

Troy chuckled and opened the door for her when they reached his truck. He shut her door then got into the cab on his side.

The ride back to her house was silent and she headed straight for the bathroom when they got there while he made himself comfortable on her bed. Her house was like a second home to her since he spent many a night there with her. Her mom was a night nurse at the hospital and usually after his parents were asleep, he'd sneak over to her house and stay with her until she fell asleep then he's sneak back home.

"I washed my hair three times and it still feels gross," she declared as she came into her room dressed only in a towel. "I never want to see a monkey again." She paused. "Or chocolate ice cream for that matter."

Troy laughed as he climbed off her bed and walked over to her. "You love chocolate ice cream," he reminded her as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You can't live without your chocolate ice cream."

"I can now," she retorted. "It like sucked all the mos-"

Troy lowered his lips to hers to shut her up then pulled her body close as he deepened the kiss. As they kissed her towel came undone and fell to the floor, leaving her naked body pressed up against his clothed one.

She pulled away, leaving him confused.

"Your jeans are too rough against my skin," she told him.

"That can be easily fixed," he smirked as he undid his belt, popped the button and unzipped his jeans before pushing them down. "See?"

"I do see," Gabriella smirked as she bravely ran her hand over his growing manhood that was hidden from sight by his striped boxers. He moaned as her hands slipped under the waist band of his boxers and touched him. Her slender fingers ran up and down his shaft a few times before she pulled his boxers down.

His eyes followed her as she backed away from him, headed for her bed and motioning for him to come along. He kicked his boxers away and pulled his shirt over his head before he joined her on the bed.

Her mouth met his as he guided himself into her hot sex. He slid his length in and out of her as his lips left hers and kissed down her neck to her full breasts.

"Troy," she whimpered as he kissed the valley between her breasts. Her hands weaved into his hair as her body tightened from her impending release. Her toes curled and she let out a throaty moan as the first wave of her orgasm hit.

The contraction of her walls against his manhood sent Troy into his own release and he fell to her side in exhaustion. With his face in her hair, he breathed deeply, smelling the sweet scent of chocolate that still lingered in her hair.

They laid side-by-side for several minutes and were almost asleep when Troy's cell phone rang. He climbed out of bed and pulled it from his pants pocket. "Hello?" He answered.

"Just thought I'd give you a fifteen minute heads up that we're on our way to Gabriella's house," Chad told him.

"Thanks," Troy replied before hanging up. "They're on their way here."

They took their time getting dressed then they went downstairs to wait for Brianne.

"I think I'm going to take off before your mom and aunt get home," Troy told Gabriella. "Plus, I kinda promised my mom I'd wash the dog…"

"Alright, thanks for helping me out today, Troy," Gabriella smiled. "It was fun babysitting with you, even if I did get an ice cream cone dropped on my head."

"I'll babysit with you any time you want," Troy stated before leaning in to kiss her. He headed out to his truck as Chad pulled up and he exchanged high-fives with Brianne in passing.

The rest of the afternoon passed quickly and as Gabriella had predicted, her mom and aunt didn't return until dinner time, but they did come with pizzas in hand.

"Did you have fun today?" Her aunt asked.

"Lots," Brianne replied then proceeded to tell her mom and Gabriella's mom about everything that had happened and they all laughed about the monkey incident.

Gabriella laughed right along then hid her smile behind her can of pop. None of them knew how her adventure in babysitting really ended…and they never would.
