I forgot to tell you guys to review = (
Some people have… maybe I just haven't waited enough… Omg yay!! 2 weeks till hsm3!! I accidentally saw the ending the other day… I nearly cried… yay! Another New Zealander likes my stories!! Welcome to the… family…? Keep your ideas rolling in guys, at the moment they're more of a trickle of ideas… but we can deal for the time being!!
Troy groaned as he opened his eyes only to be met with bright sunlight streaming in through the windows
Man!! I forgot to shut my curtains last night… last night…
Troy smiled and rolled over to wrap Gabriella in a hug, only to be met with a cold half of the bed. He sat up slightly to look around the room
There was no evidence of Gabriella ever being with him last night, other than the used condom wrapper on the floor and the crumpled bed sheets.
Troy let out a breath as he ran a hand through his hair
He wished she had of stayed. She was the first girl he'd wanted to wake up beside. Maybe for more sex, but maybe not…
Sex… sex with Gabriella had been great… even with the realisation of Gabriella's virginal status. His only regret was that she didn't tell him before hand. He would have taken it slower and made it better for her… well you can't take back what's already been done.
Troy let himself fall back on the bed and lay staring at the ceiling
"Yo man. How'd it go with Gabs?"
Troy turned his head to see Chad leaning against the door frame, eating one of four pieces of toast
"It went… good…"
"Dude, I've never seen you smile as big as you are right now. Tell me the truth"
Troy laughed, "Ok, ok, it went better than good"
"So you're gonna do it with her again?"
"Something like that" Troy laughed, sitting up
"Where is she? Did you kick her out or something?"
"Um… I don't actually know…"
"She did a runner on you?"
"I guess so"
"Wow. The tables have finally turned, who knew she had it in her" Chad laughed
"Whatever man" Troy rolled over as the phone rang
"Don't worry lover boy. Ill get it" Chad called as he left the room to answer the phone
Troy hoped she didn't think this was a one night stand where she had to run away in the middle of the night
"Tay wants to know what you did to Gabs"
"Waddaya mean?" Troy asked, confused
"He wants to know what you mean" Chad said into the phone, "Gabriella's gone for a run. She never runs. She only swims. Her motto is 'exercise is a dirty word; I need to wash my mouth out with chocolate.' What did you do to her?" Chad said stopping to catch his breath
"I didn't do anything! We just had sex and when I woke up she was gone!"
"Troy said they had sex and when he woke up she was gone" Chad listened to Taylor on the other end for a few moments before taking a deep breath and repeating the message
"You had sex?! You actually slept with Gabriella?! And did you by any chance think to maybe take things a bit slower?! She isn't experienced with one night stands unlike you! I know she says she wants a fling Troy, but she knows nothing about guys! She had to ask me if having a cold shower meant that you were horny for god's sake! And she's a virgin! Oh god! She was a virgin! And she lost it to you! Wait – Gabi was a virgin? Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh bro! Tays gonna kill you!"
"I didn't know that at the time! She should have told me, but she didn't, and I can do anything about that can I?!" Troy yelled
"Did you get that?" Chad spoke into the phone
"Tay says you gotta talk to her. She jogged off towards town"
"Bloody women" Troy grumbled as he got out of bed
--
Gabriella never ran, but this morning just seemed like a running morning
When she woke up at precisely 4.23 am, snuggled into Troy's chest, legs entwined, arms wrapped around each other, she panicked. Was this a one night stand? Was she supposed to sneak out and pretend like it never happened? Or was it a fling? And if it was, should she sneak u, or stay? If she stayed, would it be awkward in the morning?
So she decided to leave. Treat it like a one night stand. Or at least until Troy said otherwise
When she got home and into her own bed, she couldn't sleep. She kept having flashbacks of herself and Troy… well, you get the picture
So at 7.32, she rolled out of her bed, changed to go for a run, narrowly dodging Taylors questions by yelling "going for a run!" as she walked out the door.
She ran for about half an hour before she remembered why she didn't like running. It was boring as hell
She walked to the end of the pier and sat down, letting her feet dangle over the edge
After a while, she realised she had to walk back to the house. A good 45minute walk.
"Man this sucks" she mumbled as she looked out over the ocean at the grey sky making its way towards land
"You can say that again"
Gabriella turned to see Troy standing behind her with a slightly pissed off look on his face
"Hey…"she whispered as she turned to look out at the ocean again
She heard Troy sigh loudly and then sit down beside her
"Why'd you run?"
"Um… people do it in movies… it seemed like fun…"
"So, what? You're gonna do this next time?"
"Well I was kinda hoping there wouldn't be a next time… I didn't like it much… it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be…"
"What the hell?!"
"Well I was bored! That's why I came here!"
"So you ditched me in the middle of the night because sex with me is boring?"
"What?! No! Oh! No! I thought you were talking about me going for a run this morning… that was boring… but you were talking about sex… that was anythingbut boring"
Troy sat in silence for a moment before he realised what had happened and laughed
"Oh geez! You scared me there for a minute!"
"I'm sorry! I'm uh… not all here I guess…"
"Like you are normally" he laughed, "where are you this time?"
"Still in bed"
"What time did you leave?"
"A little after 4.30… your snoring kinda woke me up. And then I wasn't sure if I was supposed to stay or go… or wake you up…"
"You should've woken me up"
"Yeah right" she snorted, "you woulda been pissed off"
"True, but I'm sure you could've made me happy again" he chuckled
"Shut up" she laughed as she looked at him
Troy reached out and tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear
"Why didn't you tell me you were a virgin?"
Damn! She thought the got away with it for a minute there!
"I dunno… I guess… I was scared…"
"Of it… hurting?" he asked cautiously
Gabriella laughed, "That, and you running a mile"
"If I'm being honest, not even a pissed off Taylor could have stopped me last night. But if you told me, I could have made it better for you"
"How so?"
"Well, firstly, I wouldn't have acted like a virgin on his wedding night"
Gabriella laughed, "I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it was fine"
"Just fine?"
She laughed again, "It was thoroughly enjoyable"
"Well that's good"
"Besides, I'm sure you've been with plenty of virgins"
"Not one"
"Really?" she asked, completely astounded
"Never. You were my first-first-timer"
"But… everyone says…"
Troy chuckled, "you shouldn't listen to what 'everyone' says"
"Oh… so how come you've never… with a virgin? Has no one ever asked you…?"
"Sure they have. I've lost count of the girls asking me to be their firsts. But honestly? Virgins are usually clingy and expect a marriage proposal afterwards"
Gabriella snorted
"You don't have to worry about that with me Troy. I'm just up for a summer fling"
"So you just want a fuck buddy then?"
"If that's how you see it, then fine" she laughed
"Then I'm your man" he whispered as he lent in for a kiss, but Gabriella moved away slightly
"No strings?"
"No strings"
"And no telling anyone what happens between us?"
"No telling"
"What happens here, stays here?"
"What happens here stays here"
"And – "
"Shut up" Troy laughed as he pressed his lips to hers to shut her up
