A/N: Yes, the HSM crew may be slightly out of their original characters but thats how the story goes.
Troy led me out of the house and into the cold nights air...even the blast of it couldn't sober me up. I must have been drunk. It was the only explanation for why my hands were running all of Troy's strong, chizzled body, stroking his face and tangling in his messy hair. I wasn't the only one though - he lowered his head to make it easier for me and his arms snaked round my waist, holding me, hugging me and it felt amazing. It felt even better when i wrapped my arms around his neck so not even the fierce breeze that was tugging at my hair could come between us.
"I was only meant to be having one drink tonight; its your fault. You got me drunk..." I mumbled, my face burrowed in the crook of his neck, which was toasty and soft and my new favourite place in the world. When i kissed him there, he kind of giggled but tried to turn it into a manly cough.
"You shouldn't have drunk alcohol all together; But i won't tell if you won't" Troy chuckled.
When he kissed me, it felt like he meant it. His lips...it's hard to describe this stuff; but in one word? breathtaking - Literally. It was strange how his mouth moving on mine could make me feel hot and cold and light and dark. His arms cradled me to him: one hand stroking my hip, the other cupping the back of my head were the only things stopping me from floating away.
"Do you want to come back to mine?" He whispered in the wafer thin gap between our mouths when we remembered we had to breath.
His hands were in places that there had never been hands before, so i knew he wasn't talking about coffee before walking me home. I noticed Troy was looking at me expectantly. "Back to yours?" I repeated breathlessly, gulping. "Could be tricky. Maybe you should kiss me again?"
"Maybe i should" He agreed smiling, leaning down for another kiss when...
"Troy! i broke a heel i need you to call me a cab" Came a shrill, loud voice. We dis-attached our lips to look over at the voice to see Sharpay and Chad standing a few feet away.
"And Chad cant do that why?" Troy asked
"Because, Chad broke his cell and you promised you would go home when i did tonight" Sharpay smirked at me. "Should she have been drinking Troy...she looks like she is barely even 18"
"I'm 19 thanks very much" I said firmly, feeling quite insulted. I had taken alot of time putting my outfit together.
"Yeah whatever. So come on Troy you can speak to your little friend another day" Sharpay sniped.
Troy turned to me, sighing, his eyes full of sadness and disappointment. "I have to go, im really sorry Gabriella. Will you be ok getting home? i could get the cab to drop you off?"
I shook my head frantically. "No its ok. I'll find my friends again. Bye Troy"
"Bye Brie" He said, planting a soft kiss on my lips before walking away.
I sighed watching Troy, Sharpay and Chad disappear down the street before i walked back into the raging house party that was still going. I soon found Riley and Taylor in the crowd.
"Taylor, i need to stay at yours tonight. pleaasee" I slurred, the alcohol kicking in again.
"Gabs are you drunk? Did Troy get you drunk?" Riley asked, steadying me.
I shook me head "I got myself drunk but i need somewhere to stay otherwise im in deep trouble with my dad. RIng him and tell him. Pleaaaaseee Tay" I responded slowly.
"Urgh Gabi, i can't really say no when your in this state." Taylor rolled her eyes and pulling out her phone, dialing.
The next day i pulled my house key out of the lock to my front door after opening it - Still wearing the clothes from last night as i had no other to change into at Taylors. I entered tiredly, the reminants of my hangover still showing. It wasn't as bad as this morning when i had woken up feeling like a jumbo jet was landing on my head because now after lots of coffee from Taylor it just felt like a helicopter instead. None the less, it wasn't the nicest thing in the world and i knew it was going to be hard hiding it from my father. I entered the living room, plastering a smile to my face.
I noticed my father was vacuuming and my little sister was playing with some of dolls or whatever. I winced at the sound and loudness coming from the vacuum - Just what i needed.
Suddenly, the noise stopped and i found my father looking at me. "Hello Gabriella"
"Hey dad...Is it spring cleaning or something?"
"No Gabriella, i just thought the house could do with a tidy. Have a good night last night?"
"Yeah, sorry i didn't ring you last night but i was too engrossed in the movie i was watching round Taylors after the party."
"Its ok, i understand. I hear from Taylor you didn't drink last night. I'm proud of you. Soo..." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out some money. "Your allowance"
I smiled, half heartedly - I was happy, don't get me wrong but i felt guilty for lying. "Thanks dad" I said accepting the money then hugging my father before pulling away. "Well, i'm going to go have a shower..." I said walking away from my father as fast as i could.
I entered my room, slipping my heels off before sitting on my bed and opening clutch purse and emptying it. I pulled out my cell, money, make-up etc but gasped slightly when i noticed none other then Troys' iPod resting at the bottom of it. I pulled it out - I hadn't given it to him? Who could be surprised really, i had spent practically the whole night either dancing or getting off with him. Not really leaving time to remember electrical goods. I smiled secretly knowing this meant only one thing - I needed to see him again.
Excellent!!
Deciding i would have to get in touch with Troy later i put his iPod down before going to the bathroom and stripping off my dress and stepping into the warm shower.
Later that day, around 7:00pm i found myself walking downstairs dressed in some casual white shorts and light yellow tie bow hoodie. I walked into the living room walking straight over to the sofa and landing on to it, next to Elisa. "Hey Gabi"
"Hey Lisa. Watcha doing?" I asked.
"Dad and I are planning to watch some DVD's and order in food" Elisa smiled. "You wanna join us?"
I smiled at her sweet little naiive face - Full of hope. I nodded "Why not?"
"I'll go tell dad!" Elisa exclaimed jumping up and running into the kitchen. I sighed, stretching my tanned legs out infront of me. I was definetly feeling better then this morning - My headache almost gone.
"So your joining us Gabi?" My father said entering the living room with Elisa.
"Ummmm Yeah...i guess so?" I replied as Elisa took a seat next to me and my father took a seat in one of the other spare chairs.
Soon, i found myself sitting with Elisa and my father, eating takeout and watching Elisas' DVD choice The Cheetah Girls 2. I jumped however when i felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. "Sorry" I apologized to my father and Elisa who were looking over at me before answering without looking at the caller I.D.
"Hey" I said into the phone.
"Gabriella? you still have my iPod." Came Troys voice. I swear i nearly fell off the sofa. I could practically see the smile on his face at his words and could imagine how sexy he must be looking.
"Ah yeah.. you kinda didn't give me a chance to give it back before" I said as queitly as i could.
"Yeah sorry about that. But look i can't meet up tonight but tomorrow? Maybe i could come to yours and..."
Come round where? "No!" I hissed suddenly, noticing my dads face turn in confusement as to who i was talking to. "No i'll meet you somewhere"
"Ok well, i'll text you the details of where i live?" Troy said "I'll see you tomorrow Brie"
"Yeah, see you" I replied hanging up.
"Who was that?" My father asked immedietly.
"No one" I replied.
"Your lieing. From here it sounded like a boy"
I stood up "Well i will tell Taylor that next time. You think she has a man voice. Nice looking out Dad" I smirked and walked towards the living room door.
"Arent you going to stay and watch the rest with us Gabi? Its my favourite part soon?" Elisa asked.
I shook my head "I'm tired. But i'll make it up to you some other time Lisa" I said using her nickname before leaving the room and running upstairs. As i landed on my bed i secretly thanked god it was Sunday tomorrow and was in no danger of having to make up an excuse as to why i couldn't meet in the day. Because if it was a Monday for instance i couldn't tell him i was at school... damn these lies are getting out of control.
The next day i found myself stepping out of my house, pulling my sunglasses over my eyes to sheild them before glancing down at myself and making sure i looked ok. I was wearing some white roll up shorts that came just above my knees with beige, satin trim top and some matching flower print pumps. I opened my white charm chain bag, checking i had what i needed in it - Cell Phone, purse, Makeup and of course Troy's iPod.
Within 15 minutes i found myself outside Troys apartement which he apparently shared with Sharpay and Chad. I knocked on the door, my hands feeling kind of sweaty and nervous. I was actually at his place.
I heard feet thundering towards the door followed by swearing that was so fluent and grphic i was shocked. The door opened and none other then Sharpay stood behind it in nothing but a large t-shirt. She gave me a sort of disapproving and quizzical look before speaking "Yeah?"
I was planning on taking my sunglasses off but i thought better of it. If i had she would have seen the falter in my eyes and that would have of meant to her she would have won. "Is Troy in?"
She stared at me dumbly before rolling her eyes and reluctantly stepping aside. "Come in and be quiet, everyone has a huge hangover and your banging on the door didn't help. Hence the bad language" Sharpay growled angrily. I followed her through to the living room doing my best to keep quiet.
"Stay here, i'll go see if he is up. Make a noise and i'll kick your skinny ass out onto the street" She snapped at me before walking away.
Nasty much?
I sighed not even daring to move, except for reaching up and pushing my sunglasses onto the top of my head. A few minutes later Sharpay returned, standing in front of me and eyeing me up and down once again. "What do you need him for?"
"I have his iPod...Look, if you want you could just give it to him and get mine" I said
Sharpay scoffed "Do i look like your servant...You really are naiive"
I just stared at her "Fine. So where is his room?"
"Down the hall to the left and be careful he was out last night with us and has a bitch of a hangover." Sharpay said
It was my turn to roll my eyes now before walking past her and down the hall, taking a sharp left and coming face to face with Troy's bedroom door. I knocked on it gently before entering. It was quite a simple room, with light blue walls and a single bed where there was a mass of duvet and human limbs. The bedroom was clean and had a single desk in the corner with a computer on it while the rest of the room was scattered with things to do with basketball...mostly trophies.
"Hey" I heard a mumble come from the bed. I giggled and walked over to it, standing over it to see Troy was laying there, his eyes closed and his chest exposed. I swear my breath caught in my throat at the defined lines.
"Hey" I replied "Heard you had a bit of a crazy night?"
Troy chuckled softly before gently opening his eyes to look at me "Yeah, you look beautiful by the way. I wish i could wake up to you every morning"
"Are you still a bit drunk?" I asked, backing away from his bed slightly.
"Maybe." He smiled, gently sitting up, his hand travelling straight to his head. "Ah" He winced in pain. After a few minutes he took the next step and stood up in front of me.
I swear i could have fainted as he was only in his boxers and i could see his chizzled abs and six pack, his muscles were strong and big. He was like a piece of art work.
"Is it alright if i get a shower?"
"Umm sure. I'm guessing you want me to stick around?"
"No i want you to leave and come back" Troy said smirking
"Ok.." I began towards the door before feeling a hand connect to mine and pull me back.
"Brie, i was kidding. i'll be like 5 minutes. Promise" Troy chuckled letting go of my hand and leaving the room.
True to his word in 5 minutes Troy came back, with just a towel wrapped around him. I turned away while he changed quickly into some shorts and t-shirt before turning back. "So, my iPod?" He asked, walking towards me. I opened my bag and pulled it out, handing it over. Troy held it to his face as if scrutinising for any marks or such.
"I didn't break it" I giggled.
"Never said you did" Troy smiled.
"So wheres mine?" I asked nervously.
"Don't be so worried, its hooked up to my computer because im transferring some of the songs" He said, nodding over to his computer before walking over there himself.
"Come here" He said, beckoning me.
I walked over and looked at the screen, watching the files copy. "I tried to do that" I blurted out "Transfer some stuff across, i mean, but i couldn't work out how to do it"
I felt Troy suddenly stiffen before relaxing as i leaned closer. "You need to download this programme off the internet.I'll show you, you sit down and i'll crouch."
We then spent the next hour ripping songs off his iPod onto mine and talking about music. "So Troy, i have a question. Your a student right and go to college? How did you manage to get such a decent apartement, i heard most are really crap"
"Ahh well Sharpays dad...he has connections at U of A. Hows your apartement though...you go to college?"
"Ummm...Urgh..." I was stuck - How do i explain this??. Fuck!! "Umm...Yeah but i live quite close to Alburqueqe college so i live with my dad and sister still" I covered.
"Ah makes sense." Troy said thankfully not questioning it.
"So Sharpay...whats her story?" I asked
"Sharpay? Ummm nothing much. I have known her since high school. She is into drama and such." Troy shrugged.
"And Chad?"
"He is on a basketball scholarship with me"
"That would explain all these basketball trophies. You must be good" I commented watching Troy blush slightly before shrugging in-differently.
"Im ok. Anyway, he is my bestfriend since forever"
"And Sharpay, is she your girlfriend or something?"
Troy scoffed "Gabriella do you really think that little of me. Kissing you when i have a girlfriend? Im not like that"
I blushed now "Sorry"
"Sharpay and I are just friends, C'mon, we should leave this doing its thing - I'm getting cramp" He got up and stretched, which made all his muscles shift, his T-shirt riding up to show a faint trickle of hair on his belly. I looked down at my tanned legs that were not being covered by my long shorts because i just knew Troy was smiling at me. You know, one of those smiles that made me want to touch the corners of his mouth. "Do you want some coffee or something cause i still have a huge hangover."
I shook my head before standing up silently.
"You have gone all quiet" He teased and laughed when i pouted at him.
"I haven't."
"Yeah you have. Why don't you go sit down over there" He said.
There was nowhere to sit except the bed, but i didn't mind because Troy said "I'll be right back" and left the room.
I watched him go and couldn't help but think about what was going on between us. I didn't know where we stood or what was happening.
I knew deep down my life was changing incredibly and the secrets were getting bigger. But i had control of them.
Right?
