Mandie, you are my inspiration.
Oh, look! A disclaimer.
Troy held Gabi's hand as they walked up the stairs to the main guestroom. Chad's house was huge. Not as big as the Evan's but big enough to be called a mansion. Troy had been in and out of here for his entire life, Chad's parents called him their adoptive son. As Troy found the room, he placed his hand on the doorknob, but before he turned it, he looked at Gabi.
"You didn't have fun tonight." he said sadly. "I really wanted you to have fun."
"No! I mean I did have fun," Gabi said. "I was just a little preoccupied."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Troy asked, turning the knob, entering the room.
'I need to tell you' Gabi thought as she pushed off her boots. She watched as Troy shrugged off his jacket, revealing his chest snug in a black polo. Gabi smiled as she looked at her boyfriend. She sat on the bed and sighed. Troy came up behind her and started to kiss her neck.
"Did I tell you," he said in between kisses "how hot you looked tonight?"
Gabi smiled as she felt Try begin to untie her ribbons from the back of her corset.
"These" kiss "red" kiss "ribbons" kiss "are" kiss "so" perfect" Troy said.
Gabi unbuttoned her jeans silently, trying not to move out of Troy's arms. After she finished, she stood up and wiggled out of her jeans, letting Troy see her cute red Wildcat underwear.
"I'm going to go change into something a little more comfortable." she said while picking up her bag from where she had dropped it earlier in the night, during the party. She entered the bathroom, glancing over her shoulder, looking at Troy sitting on the bed. She smiled and blew him a kiss before closing the door.
Gabi set her bag down on the counter and looked at her self in the mirror. 'Gabi, you have got to figure this out. You need to tell Troy. Now. Before anything else happens. Go!' Gabi gave herself a look in the mirror and cracked open the bathroom door, ready to tell Troy everything.
But when Gabi looked out, she realized she couldn't tell him tonight. Troy had set out candles everywhere and had his back to the bathroom, scattering petals on the bed.
Gabi closed the door to the bathroom and looked at her self again.
'Chicken.' she thought. 'But I can't tell him now. Not tonight. Tomorrow. Soon. He's trying so hard, I don't want to spoil it.' Gabi said, trying to reason with her self. She reached into her bag and pulled the box with her "pajama" in it. She opened the box and shook them out. She gasped as something fell out of the folds of the materials. As Gabi went to pick it up, she dropped it back on the floor. It was a dvd with a note stuck to it. She knew what the dvd was but she hadn't read the note. Gabi bent over again and picked it up.
-Nice outfit. Maybe you'll wear it for us sometime! Hope you like the movie. Maybe you and Troy can watch it before you go to bed. Love Tony and Jordan. -
Gabi was shaking in anger as she looked at the note. She took the note and ripped it into tiny pieces, throwing them in the trash. The dvd she stuffed back into her bag. Gabi took a deep breath and put her "pajamas" on. They were cute and very sexy. It was a white tank top that was slightly see through with a flowy bottom that had a red ribbon tied at empire waist height. The bottoms were just red bikini style underwear. Gabi took one last look at her self in the mirror and opened the door.
The lights were dimmed down, and the petals were all over the bed and the floor. As she stepped out of the bathroom, softly closing the door behind her she called "Troy?".
"Wow" Troy said from his spot on the bed. He was sitting there without a shirt on and just a pair of black boxers. "Gabi, I am so lucky to be your boyfriend."
" I was just thinking that too" Gabi said giggling. 'I only wish it were true.' she thought as she walked towards the bed. As she reached Troy, he took her into his arms and stood up next to her. After kissing her on the lips he picked her up bridal style and lay her on the bed. He turned off the light completely and crawled over to her. Gabi looked up at him and saw the face of the man she loved reflected by candlelight. Then Troy lay down next to her and touched her shoulder. Gabi felt the heat from his hand that rolled off his body and went straight to her heart.
"What did I ever do to deserve you?" she said.
Troy took her hand and brought it up to his chest, she could feel the pounding of his heart.
Gabi was able to forget all about Ryan and the Knights for the next three hours. But then, as Troy settled himself on his back, one arm behind his head, his other arm around Gabi where she lay with her head on his chest, listening to his heart beat as he fell asleep, all she could see was the image of Ryan kissing her while Tony had his hand around her waist. She shuddered, and Troy pulled her closer to him, thinking she was cold.
'Always so caring, even while he sleeps.' Gabi thought. She gently moved her self out of Troy's arms, slipping out of bed. She grabbed Troy's jacket off the back off the floor, slipping it over her shoulders and walking out of the room. She softly closed the door behind her and walked to one of the big windows with a window seat. Gabi climbed up and buried herself in the pillows. She looked out at the street, looking at the pool, remembering the party.
-Flashback-
"Cannon Ball!"
Chad had just jumped into the pool, splashing everyone that was sitting around. Over 100 people had shown up from all the different cliques of the school. Troy jumped in right after him, splashing Taylor and Gabi that were standing right there.
"Ahh!" shrieked Gabi, jumping back. Troy surfaced from the water, smiling at Gabi and Taylor as they both shot him evil looks. Chad swan over to the side of the pool and grabbed Taylor's hand. "Oh, no Mr. Danforth. No! Chad Stop!" Taylor yelled as Chad pulled her into the pool.
SPLASH!!
"Oh, you're so dead!" Taylor said as she surfaced. She swam after Chad, trying to dunk him.
Gabi sat down on a pool chair, well out of reach of a laughing Troy who was eyeing her.
"No way Mr. Bolton. I'm not wearing a bathing suit like Taylor, and I don't feel like getting wet. If you want to touch me, you're going to get out of the pool and dry off and then maybe, just maybe I'll kiss you." Gabi said laughing.
Troy stuck his tongue out at her but swam to the other side, to the stairs. Gabi smiled as she watched Troy get out of the pool. She noticed other girls watching him too but wasn't worried. She loved Troy and Troy loved her. And she was going to fix everything as soon as she could.
Gabi looked around the pool, at her friends having fun. Kelsi and Jason were dancing together by the edge of the dance floor, looking at each other. Zeke and Sharpay were making out on one of the chairs, completely oblivious to the rest of the world. Martha was dancing with a cute guy from the decathlon team. Ryan was sitting by himself, drinking a beer, staring off into space. Gabi smiled to herself, as she looked at all her friends. Then a voice in her ear made her jump.
"You do look really hot tonight. You would be such a hot Knight cheerleader. I'm upset I'm not Troy, or Ryan. Who knows who you're going to sleep with tonight?" Jordan said, leaning down over her while touching her neck.
"Fuck off dick head." she whispered back, not looking at him.
"Careful Montez." he said, "You never know who could be watching."
Troy walked up to them at that moment with a questioning look on his face.
"Got it!" Jordan said loudly. "Oh, hey Troy."
"Got what?" Troy asked as he dropped his towel on the chair next to Gabi.
"Gabi had a mosquito on her neck." he explained. "I think I got it."
"Oh, good." Troy said while dropping down onto the end of Gabi's chair. "Thanks Jordan."
"No problem." Jordan said. "I'm going to go grab a beer. You want anything, Gabi (stressing her name), Troy?"
"I'm good. You?" Troy said to Gabi.
"No, I'm good. Thanks" Gabi said while shooting Jordan the fakest smile.
Jordan walked away but not before giving Troy a clap on the shoulder.
"So, I think I was promised something if I came over here Ms. Montez." Troy said while leaning in to kiss Gabi.
"Promised? I don't think -" Gabi was cut off as Troy's lips captured hers. "Mmmm.."
-End Flashback-
Gabi sighed, her breath making a frost appear on the window. She drew a heart on the window, then a smiley face, then a flower.
"That's cute," said a voice from behind her.
Gabi jumped and turned around. "Oh, Ryan. You scared me."
"Sorry. I didn't mean to.," he said as he reached out his hand to touch her shoulder.
Gabi stiffened as he touched her. Ryan pulled away.
"I'm sorry." he said. "It wasn't fair of me to do what I made you do."
"Oh Ryan, I shouldn't have done it. I think I got caught up in thinking about alternate universe us that I wanted to see what it would be like."
"And?"
"I was right. I am in love with Troy. I feel guilty for kissing you. I should have never done that."
"I'll never tell. No one will ever now."
Gabi didn't say anything.
"I know you love Troy," Ryan continued. "But I love you too. Remember that."
Ryan leaned over and gave Gabi a quick kiss on her check. He turned and walked away, up to his room.
Gabi stood there for a couple more minuets.
Then she heard another voice.
"That was very touching." Jordan said from behind her. "It made me sick."
"Go away Jordan." Gabi said, turning towards him. "Leave me alone."
Jordan took a step closer and went to touch Gabi's check but Gabi shoved his hand away. Jordan grabbed both her hands in his and slammed her into the wall with her hands trapped above her in his grip.
"Don't ever try to hit me again." he said through clenched teeth. "In our little friendship, or whatever you want to call it, I make the rules. Got it?"
Gabi nodded her head, scarred. Jordan had gotten a look in his eyes that scarred her. Tony had the same look.
"So, I'm assuming were wearing those cute pajamas we saw earlier. Let's see." Jordan said as he pulled back the front of Troy's jacket.
"Oh, very hot. Would look better in blue and yellow, but we'll fix that in time." Jordan said as he ran his hand down Gabi's front, lightly touching her stomach and cupping her breast.
At that, Gabi pulled away, hitting her head against the wall.
"Stupid girl." Jordan laughed, releasing her. "Go back to bed Montez, I have no use for you tonight. I have some phone calls to make."
Gabi sprinted away up the stairs. She quietly opened the door to her room and crawled back into bed with Troy clinging to him, crying.
"Hey baby," Troy said, waking up. "You okay? Why you crying?"
"I'm okay, bad dream. But I'm better now. Go back to bed." Gabi replied.
Troy gathered Gabi to his side, fitting her head under his chin with his arms wrapped around her.
"I love you" Troy said.
Jordan chuckled as he moved away from the door, checking to make sure that Gabi hadn't said something.
Jordan opened his phone downstairs and dialed a number. "Hey, Tony." he said.
Jordan also didn't notice a blond boy quietly closing a door at the top of the stairs. A blond boy who loved that girl more then anything, a blond boy who had seen the whole thing, who understood a lot more now then he had when he woke up.
Okay, so I know its shorter then the others. And for that I apologize. But I think it's kind of emotional. No? Maybe? Let me know.
On a separate note, I know that I have about 23 reviews on this story. But I also see all the readers that don't review and just add to story alert. These two things are by far the greatest compliments I have ever received. When I find a great book or story that I cant put down, I take it everywhere with me. Since you cant take your computer everywhere (unless u have a new sexy iPhone which I do not) just by letting me know that you're reading my story or waiting for the next chapter makes me so happy. You guys make my day. Thank you!
Oh look! Another distraction! A review button! I wonder what happens when you click it….
