Chapter 7

The breakfast was one of the biggest Gabriella had seen before, massive amounts of cereals, croissants, breads and baking that would sees to amaze. Gabriella went for the tasty homemade croissants while Troy went for cereal, toast and some fruit. After they had helped with washing up they were sitting out on the deck in the sun with Jason, Cindy, Lisa and Jacob. They were all chatting casually when Cristina came out to see them.

"Hey guys me, Tom, Matt, Samantha and the kids are off for the day but well be back for the reunion dinner tonight, just thought I would let you know because auntie always try's to kick us out for the day of the big dinner" Troy had almost forgot that their auntie always kicked them out of the house so she could prepare the dinner, she had always done it as far as he could remember

"Thanks Cristina you guys have a good day" when Cristina had left Troy turned to Jason, Cindy, Lisa and Jacob

"What were you guys doing to day? Do you still head down to the beach when auntie kicks us out?" Lisa smiled; he really had been gone for a while

"Yeah we still do if it's a nice day, why don't the six of us head down there today and hang out?"

"I think we would enjoy that, we can take my car" Troy replied, Jason jumped up with excitement

"I am so riding in Troy's car" they all laughed because they knew how much Jason loved Troy's car. They all got changed for the beach and said they goodbyes to a satisfied auntie Nina, who was glad they were leaving the house so she could get down to work. They were taking two cars, Troy's and Jacob's. Jacob and Lisa had packed their car and were heading off as Jason put his and Cindy's things in Troy's boot while he and Gabriella put their things in too. Jason then jumped in the back seat with Cindy while they waited for Troy and Gabriella. Troy couldn't stop smiling he was so happy, Gabriella caught him smiling really happily as she put her bag in the boot and she stood and faced him, smiling as well

"You are very chipper this morning" his face lit up

"Well why not be, I had a wonderful night and I have a feeling the day is going to be much the same" she would not disagree on that

"You make me smile when you're this happy" he stepped closer and cupped her cheek with his hand and caressed it with his thumb

"Only because you make me this happy" and he leant down and placed a gentle kiss to her lips, only to be broken by Jason

"I know you two might be enjoying yourselves but can you at least wait till we get to the beach" he and Cindy were obviously laughing by the sounds of things to Troy and Gabriella. They looked at each other and smirked, they guess they could.

On the ride to the beach Jason was constantly going on about Troy's car, from what he thought what Troy should get done to it to how he explained what he would do if he had a mustang, it was quite amusing to Gabriella. After the twenty minute drive they arrived at a beach, Troy pulled into an empty grass parking space where Jacob and Lisa had parked. They all got out and went to the boot to unload; Gabriella looked around and down to the beach

"This beach does not seem very…popular" everyone else who had been their had smiles at the new girl, but Lisa filled her in

"Don't worry Gabriella it is beautiful but it is not known to many people how to get to this part, that is why it is never that busy, its great" Troy put his arm around her shoulder smiling

"Yeah and it's a Bolton secret so now that your part of the family you have to keep the secret" Cindy gaped

"How come when I got told that I got threatened if I told?" they all looked at Troy, Lisa had even threatened Jacob jokingly, they always did.

They had all walked down onto the beach and set up a little area for them with there towels and stuff, Jason and Jacob had taken off to the water and just as Troy went to follow Gabriella grabbed his arm, he turned and faced her pouting his lip

"Come on I didn't threaten you or anything" she just smiled at him, Cindy and Lisa watched the scene from sunbathing on their towels. Gabriella held up a bottle of sun block

"I know Troy but I am not putting up with your whining when you get burnt so it is sun block for you, then you can go swim" he smiled, she was so caring of him even with the little things. He held his hands out as she poured him some sun block and he kissed her gratefully

"Turn around" he turned around and he began applying the sun block to his arms, chest and face. That's when he felt her soft hands smooth over his back. She was only sun blocking him but man did it feel good, her hands roamed the surface of his muscled back, applying just the right pressure not being too soft, not being too hard. She ran them high and over his shoulders, temporarily working his muscles, she went higher and ran her fingers up his neck gingerly, he shuddered at the contact and it didn't go unnoticed by the audience. She went south running her sun blocked hands down just above his shorts then back up going round his sides, he didn't think getting sun blocked like this could get any more exciting. Once she was done she patted his back softly. He turned with a big smile, she matched it

"Ok there you go now you can go for your swim" just as she expected him to run off he didn't, he just stood there and took the sun block from her hands

"Oh no I don't think so, just because your Latino doesn't mean your gonna get away with no sun block on my watch" she wondered what he was up to with that big smile

"Oh really?" he turned her round and their audience smiled at her and she rolled her eyes to them about him, he poured some sun block in his hands and pressed his hands to her back

"Yes I do sweetheart" he whispered in her ear. His hands had no problem in taking their time on her body; he could do it all day if he got to touch her. Her muscles on her back he had always admired, tone but elegant and sexy and he worked them with his hands as he creamed her up. When he had covered her back, and arms he bent down and ran the sun block from her calves up, she used all her effort to hide the effect his hands were having on her as they went up her thighs and when he made sure the skin on the edge of her bikini bottoms were well covered. When he had finished her back she turned around ready to grab the sun block and do her front but when she reached for it he held it back and shook his head

"Oh no I am not finished yet" and he smirked at her raised eyebrows. He poured more sun block and placed his hands to her belly, spreading them across to her sides then up to her bikini. He then did the front of her shoulders and went down over her chest and then grazed the tops of her breasts, also making sure they were well sun blocked. He smiled when he saw her skin get gooseflesh as he did just under her navel skimming along the top of her bikini bottoms, even more when he did the front and insides of her thighs. She was well sun blocked up and he was very pleased with his job, so was she by the look she gave him. He handed her back the sun block and cupped her face kissing her slightly deeper then intended

and with that he took off like she expected him to before, joining the boys in the water. Gabriella put the sun block down then sat on her towel, she turned and Lisa and Cindy who were smiling at her

"Oh I have to say that was the hottest sun blocking I have seen, ever, and it was my goofy cousin" Lisa had never thought her cousin would ever be that comfortable with a woman around them to do that, hell he had hardly been around them with a woman before, maybe once or twice before

"No need to worry he still is your goofy cousin, he just tends to have his charming moments when he wants to" Lisa was interested in finally getting to talk to Gabriella without Troy there

"I don't think I have ever seen him like that with someone, he met me and Jacob once at a basketball game with some girl but he acted totally different then he was more… unattached"

"Yes Troy has changed a lot in the past few years"

"Well I think he has made a good choice with you, I like you your different, and it's a good thing"

"Me too and Jason has said he likes you and thinks Troy finally, quote 'pulled his head out of his ass'" Gabriella was touched, his family liked her and that really made her happy

"Thank you it means a lot that you guys think that" Cindy had a question

"I don't mean to sound as though I'm prying but you and Troy seem to be very…how should I put it…affectionate?" Gabriella giggled, they were being like that as they were finally allowed to touch each other with nothing stopping them

"Yes well you see I have known Troy for almost six years and our relationship has only been…recent and after wanting someone for a long time you tend to be affectionate without realising it" Cindy and Lisa couldn't believe they hadn't hooked up earlier

"That is cute; how come you two didn't get together earlier, six years is a long time"

"Oh I know it is, well all through high school it was just easier to stay friends, very good friends" Lisa was really interested in this conversation

After a bit more chat, Gabriella, Cindy and Lisa laid down and relaxed while they worked on their tan.
