Okay, I think this story's gonna be like one more chapter. I'm not sure. I haven't decided yet.

But enjoy this chapter.

I bet you will...I hope.


As Gabriella knocked on the door of the house, she felt another flash of memory and couldn't help but smile.

The door opened, revealing a very distressed looking Sharpay.

"Hey Shar. What's up?"

"Ryan. He was in the major fight at school today with your boyfriend."

"Well actually, Troy isn't my boyfriend anymore."

"Huh?"

"Where's Ryan?"

"Um, up in his room."

Gabriella swiveled her way past Sharpay headed upstairs.

"Wait, what do you mean Troy isn't your boyfriend anymore?"

"I'll explain later. I promise."

"Okay. Um, if you're staying I'm gonna head out. I was supposed to meet Zeke but then Ryan came home all bruised up,"

"I'll take care of him Shar."

"Alright. You know, I always thought you and Ryan would make a cute couple. Maybe you too could start dating now that you and Troy are over."

"Maybe." Gabriella said with a knowing smile as she watched Sharpay exit the house.

Making her way up the rest of the stairs, Gabriella walked a familiar path leading to Ryan's bedroom.

When she found it, the door was open and he was sitting on the edge his bed holding an ice pack to his jaw.

Setting down her bag, she quietly walked to the bed, starling him when she sat down next to him.

Turning towards her, his eyes soft, they simply gazed at each other for a few stray seconds.

"Gabby I'm sorry for,"

"Sshhh."

She cut him off by pressing her fingers to his lips, ending with him kissing them delicately.

Raising her hand to the ice pack her currently held in his hand, she guided it up to the purple and red mark on his jaw.

He winced slightly at the contact, but was instantly soothed by thr contact of her lips to his chin.

He watched her closely, not understanding her motives what-so-ever. But he marveled in the sweetness she was giving him.

But that was Gabriella. Beautiful, smart, funny, sweet, sensual.

But was she still Troy's?

"Gabriella? Where did you go after you left school?"

"I went to see Troy."

"Oh. You guys talked then?"

"Yeah. We talked about a few things. Me and him, and where we stood."

"And um, where do you guys stand, now?"

Looking up with her brown eyes sparkling, her head somewhat titlted to the side shyly, she leaned up and captured his lips sweetly in hers.

She pulled back, a smile lighting up her gorgeous features.

"I broke up with Troy. He wasn't the guy for me."

"And somebody else is?"

"Uh-huh."

"Is it someone I know?" He said teasingly.

With a nod of her head, he pulled her back for another kiss, this one more passionate than the one previously.

"It's you," She whispered breathlessly against his lips, "It's you."

Kissing again, Ryan pushed up back on the bed, the ice pack slipping from her hands to the ground, as their kisses grew in heat.

Gabriella pulled away though, with great effort that is.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked concerned.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Then what is it?"

"I love you."

Shock was clearly his reaction as Gabriella could tell. She couldn't blame him. She did just kinda throw it out there out of nowhere.

"But you always said you loved Troy."

"I know what I said. But, I don't know. I can't really explian how you make me feel except by saying I love you. I love you Ryan."

Caressing her cheek with his fingers, the sides of his mouth slowly turned up in a big grin.

"I love you too Gabby."

she smiled big inreturn before taking his face in her hands and kissing him deeply.

Clothes were quickly shed, months of practice made them pros at that.

But soon after that, they decided this time, that they would take their time and make it last.

Slding down, Ryan began a trail with his lips. Starting at her feet, he left kisses up her leg, to the curve of her hips, to her stomach, the sensitive valley between her breasts, dragging across her collar bone, up her neck, til he reached her lips.

Meanwhile, Gabriella's hands explored the expanse of his muscled back as she kissed the sides of his neck, which were his most sensitive parts.

When he entered her finally, their eyes were locked, so he saw as she made the perfect 'o' shape with her lips, closed her eyes, and pulled him closer.

It was the most beautiful vision he had ever seen.

Their movements were slow and smooth, but soon began to pick up speed.

Ryan's body was half upright as Gabriella held desparately to his shoulders, while he pumped into her.

He moved his hands over her bare back as she clung to him more, her hands burying themselves in his hair.

Capturing her lips in his, his tongue explored her mouth, tasting the sweetness it held inside.

He moved down to her neck and the space where her neck meets her ear, leaving hot, wet kisses there, before burying his face in her hair, inhaling its sweet aroma, all while she moaned softly in his ear.

She began to shift beneath him and he realized she was close.

Bringing his face up to her level, he left quick kisses on her swollen lips, her breathing coming out in heavy pants.

"Come for me Gabby," Kisses her, "Come for me." His own breath erratic.

Then, with a final gasp of his name, she climaxed, dropping back to the bed in the process, her breath still ragged.

Ryan dropped to the bed right beside her, he too, out of breath.

He then pulled Gabriella to his chest so that her head rested upon his shoulder. He could feel her hot breath move across his skin. Such a good feeling.

After a while, once their breathing had returned to normal, Ryan was absently playing with her hair as she ran her fingers across his creamy skin.

"Well, I guess we don't have to sneak around anymore." Gabriella metioned, breaking the content silence.

"Oh but I think that part of our relationship was kinda exciting."

Sitting up, she slapped him across the chest at his comment.

"Hey don't go all violent on me. I was only kidding. And I guess it will be kinda nice to be able to kiss you in public now."

"Yeah. You'd like that wouldn't you?" She said smiling, leaning closer to him.

"I would immensely like that." A smile was also on his face as he leaned toward her.

Their lips brushed each other teasingly before finally seizing each other.

"I love you you know?" Ryan said seriously.

"Yeah." Cupping his face, she kissed him sweetly. "And I love you."

"Well Miss Montez, how about I show you how much I love you? Again. Again. And again." He punctuated the last words with ardent kisses to her neck.

"Now how could I refuse that offer?" She giggled as they shared a kiss before they fell into bed again, lost in each other.
