Troy stared at Gabriella, not really being able to take his eyes of her body. She was just as beautiful as she was when he last saw her that naked. She immediately wrapped her hands around her body, noticing his staring eyes.

"Well?" She said again.

"Well what? Huh?" Troy asked, shaking his head and finally looking her in the eyes.

"Why the hell are you in the same motel as I am?" she said angrily.

"Uh…I'm just stopping over. Why the hell are you in the same motel as I am?" Troy asked, wondering why it was his fault.

"Stopping…over…as well. What do you mean stopping over?" Gabriella asked. Troy was about to answer but saw her shiver, "I don't need your jacket again" she said.

"Well can we go inside then?" Troy asked.

"Ugh fine. Come on" she said turning around and barely giving time for Troy to walk through her room door. Troy looked around and saw that she only had her suitcase sitting on the floor and a picture of her mother on her bedside table.

"How is your mum?" Troy asked.

"Mum?" Gabriella replied and Troy nodded. "We don't speak much anymore" Gabriella said, fixing up her bed sheets.

"Why? Oh…sorry, I don't mean to pry" Troy said scratching the back of his neck.

"She died in a car accident 2 months after we all graduated" she said glumly. She saw Troy immediately put his hand over his mouth. He hadn't known, he had missed her funeral and Gabriella had been suffering without him there.

"Oh god Gabi, Gabriella, I'm so sorry, I had no idea…"

"Well of course you didn't! I was an ALIEN to you lot after I left!"

"Why didn't you contact me?" Troy asked softly.

"That would have made my pain worse. I just wanted to move on"

"Gabriella…if I had known, I would've been by your side in flash. Do you mind if I ask what happened?" Troy asked and Gabriella shook her head.

"A truck driver needed to brake urgently but hit two cars. The entire truck rolled over and the load crushed mum's car" she said, not even feeling as though she would cry, but Troy felt as though he would, he had loved Mrs. Montez! "So, why are you here again?" Gabriella asked, changing the subject quickly.

"I'm stopping over like I said, I'm coming from Albuquerque" he said casually.

"What?!" Gabriella shouted quickly, "you live in Albuquerque????"

"Yeah, just near the airport" Troy replied, wondering why she sounded so surprised.

"But you don't live there!" she yelled again.

"Umm, I'm pretty sure I do"

"But in the newspaper I saw something about you playing basketball in like woop woop or some place…"

"Oh yeah, that was 3 years ago Gabriella. But I have always lived in Albuquerque" Troy said.

"How can you say this so casually? This is a disaster!" Gabriella said waving her arms in the air.

"Why?" Troy asked, taking a seat on her bed.

"Well…" Gabriella, just realised she hadn't said she lived in Albuquerque, so it's not like he knew! "No reason" she added and Troy rolled his eyes.

"So why are you in my motel" he said teasingly.

"I'm stopping over too"

"From where?" he asked and Gabriella mumbled something, "pardon?" he asked, but she mumbled again "what?"

"ALBUQUERQUE!" she yelled, "I live in Albuquerque ok?" she said harshly. Troy's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't been that far away from her after all.

"Where?"

"In the South Valley…around there…" she said picking up her mum's photo and tossing it in her bag.

"That's interesting" Troy said smirking. He picked up the TV remote and tried to turn on the TV obviously. But nothing seemed to be happening. "Ah, oh well"

"Just make yourself comfortable Troy" Gabriella said putting her hands on her hips.

"Don't mind if I do" he replied sliding up her bed and laying down with his hands behind his head. Gabriella rolled her eyes and began to pick up a few things off the floor. Troy remembered how much of a neat freak she was. She bent over and Troy could just see the edge of her underwear. Hot underwear may I add. Gabriella sensed his eyes on her butt and quickly stood up straight.

"I'd appreciate you not watching me" she said holding the back of her nighty.

"Well there's nothing else to watch" Troy said jokingly pointing to the TV.

"Get off, I would like to go to sleep" she said standing at the foot of the bed waiting for him to remove himself.

"I'm quite comfortable"

"Troy please I want to get some sleep so I don't fall asleep on the road tomorrow while driving" she said placing her hands on her hips again. She used to do that in high school when she was peeved or feeling impatient. Nothing seems to have changed… Troy thought. "Fine!" Gabriella ignored Troy lying there and immediately got under the covers, turning her back to him and covering her entire body. Troy didn't get up, didn't move or make any smart arsed comments. He just watched her lying there; seeing her mouth and her eyelashes resting gently on her cheekbones as she breathed in and out steadily. All he wanted to do was get under the covers with her. Thinking of what he could do made butterflies erupt in his stomach.

2 hours later.

Troy had fallen asleep, next to Gabriella. He was surprised she hadn't told him to piss off. He had somehow gotten under the covers and had his hand wrapped around her waist, lying on her stomach. He must've lifted her nighty up somehow.

"Troy, are you awake?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah" he whispered back. Gabriella turned around in his arms and even though it was dark, she looked into his blue eyes.

"Kiss me" she whispered. Troy's eyes widened at what she asked.

"Kiss you?"

"Yes. On my mouth" she whispered again. Troy didn't say anything more, but edged towards her mouth. As soon as they touched, out of control fireworks began to go off in every vein in their body. Troy felt Gabriella sink into his body as she pressed her lips against his more firmly. Troy held onto her in a protective and domineering way, wanting no other creature on the planet to get to her. He ran his hand up her bare back, it had remained just as smooth. Gradually, he slid her nighty off so she was just in her underwear. Troy rolled on top of her and Gabriella put her hands on his chest and reached for his first button.

-

"AH!" Troy and Gabriella chorused as they both sprung up in a sitting position from sleeping. "Oh my god" they chorused again.

"What happened to you?" Troy asked breathing extremely deeply.

"What happened to you?" Gabriella asked, noticing his deep breathing.

"I just had a dream" he said, taking another deep breath.

"Me too" Gabriella replied. It seems as though Troy and Gabriella had had very similar dreams at the exact same time, "why are you still in my room?!" she asked pulling the covers up her body.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep. I'll go" he said beginning to get up.

"N-!" Gabriella began, but stopped immediately and dropped her head back down on her pillow. Troy quickly turned his head around and looked at her.

"No?" he repeated, "you don't want me to go?" he asked. Gabriella made a weird movement and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't care" she said. If she really wanted him to go, she would've told him to go. 'I don't care' meant 'ok' or 'yes' in Gabriella language. Secretly, Gabriella wanted to feel her bed move, that meant Troy would lie back down on the bed. Gabriella hid her wide grin when he did. "What was your dream about?" Gabriella asked.

"Ah nothing, just something I've been dying to do for a long, long time" he said smirking. "What was yours about?" he asked, but Gabriella stayed silent.

"Bunnies" she replied.

So what will happen next ay ;)

Hope you enjoyed!
