I finished my last final and rushed out of class. The past month has been amazing and crazy. I was a firm believer that love was never going to work out. All love was doomed. I thought Taylor and Chad were idiots for being together for so long. It all changed. I hadn't admitted it out loud yet. I was scared before and I'm terrified now. I terrified of how vulnerable he makes me.

It doesn't help that I hadn't seen him in a week. My heart hurt a little just thinking about it. I tried to get it off my mind but I couldn't. Not even studying could take my mind off of him. I shook my head to myself. I felt so dumb but I felt like I was on cloud nine. I was so happy, I don't even know how I lived before. I was a pathetic, lovesick girl.

"Hello beautiful girl." I heard against my ear as I put my key in the car door, unlocking it. I smiled to myself and leaned back against the strong body behind me. "I was wondering if you knew where a Gabriella Montez is? I'm a friend and I hadn't seen her in a long, long time."

I turned around, leaning against the car. "You know the name doesn't ring a bell." I said, smirking. "I'll help you find her though… if you do something for me."

He smirked in front of me, tilting his head. "And what is that?"

I smiled sweetly, pulling him against me. I placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "I want you to get in the car. I'm going to take you back to my apartment. By the time we get there, I'll be so wet you're going to have to take me on the couch. Then you can take me against the wall, on the floor, sideways, upside down- whatever you want." I said quietly. I played with the buttons on his collar. He was all dressed up for something.

"Is that all?"

"No baby, I'm not done." I said firmly. "You're going to make me cum, over and over again. Just when you're about to fall asleep… I'm going to give you the most amazing head, you're not even going to remember what city you're in. I might even let you put it in my ass again. Don't you remember that? My tight ass around your big dick."

He groaned against my neck. "I don't think we're going to make it to your apartment if you keep talking like that baby." I pulled his hips against mine, his erection was pressed in between our legs. "I'm seriously wondering if you're drunk right now."

I grinned at him. "No, I'm not drunk. I don't need alcohol. You bring this side out of me. I want to feel, I want to remember, I want…." I trailed off. "I would really like for you to kiss me."

"I don't just go around kissing strangers, you know." He said with a teasing grin

"You better not." I said, grabbing his neck, pulling his lips down to meet mine. I leaned back against the car while his tongue slipped into my mouth. They battled furiously for dominance. My hips were pressed firmly against his. My hands trailed down his back, grabbing his butt, holding it against me. I moaned quietly as his lips hit my neck. "Yes, Troy."

He ground his hips against mine. His hand was clasped around my thigh. Somebody wolf whistled at us. "Yeah, baby, give us a show." They yelled.

I pushed Troy away. "Assholes." I muttered, pulling him back to me. He just pressed his body against mine.

"I think it's time to head on out, don't you think?" He asked me, pressing his lips together. I nodded silently, watching his lips. "I'll meet you at your house, okay?" He said softly, lips brushing barely against mine.

I sucked in a breath when he pulled away from me. I wanted so badly to pull him against me again. He looked at me another moment before he took a step closer and kissed me again. He pulled away quickly forcing himself to walk away. I smiled as I watched him walk. He glanced back at me. Once he was out of my sight, I got in my car. I smiled to myself, finding it hard to keep myself from rushing home.

I rushed upstairs when I got back. I had beaten him there. I started cleaning the apartment up quickly. It wasn't that bad but a little tidying up wouldn't hurt. I saw the door open out of the corner of my eye and I bit my lip in anticipation.

He shut the door behind him, locking it. I put whatever I was holding down as he walked closer to me. My thighs tingled, I felt a warmth wash over me. He stood in front of me and it felt like he started a fire once he touched my cheek. Our eyes were connected as he kept inching forward.

The room was silent as his lips finally touched mine. He has scooped me up his strong arm around my waist and my thighs wrapped around his. Our tongues touched once he laid me back on the couch. We didn't waste any time pulling off our clothes. It was soon before his hand slipped into my panties and I palmed the firm length resting amongst his boxers.

A long finger slipped into my heat. I pushed my hips against him, wanting more. I slipped my hand under his waist band and stroked him quickly. He slipped another finger in. He pulled his fingers out, I grabbed his hand slipping his fingers into my mouth before putting them in his. Troy grinned at me before sitting up.

I sat up. He glanced over at me. "Lay back down." He ordered, pushing me down gently. I smirked to myself and sat up again. "Ella." He said in a warning tone. I giggled at him, watching him pull a condom out of his pants.

"What are you going to do?" I asked him, teasingly.

He glared at me. I ran my fingers through his hair, pulling him back down to me. He kissed my lips slowly, giving me a small smile. "I missed you." He murmured firmly. His lips trailed down my neck slowly.

"Mmm, I missed you too." I moaned quietly as he took my nipple in his mouth. He tugged on it gently between his teeth. He sucked gently, pulling away admiring the hard peak. He played with it as he worked on the other.

Troy's mouth worked it's way down my body slowly. He let go of my breasts and slid my underwear down my legs slowly. He tossed them aside, spreading my legs as best he could. He pushed a finger into me before moving up and rubbing my clit slowly.

He kissed the top of my mound. He brushed his tongue against my clit. He pushed his tongue into me before circling my clit again. I ran my fingers through his hair as he looked up at me. "Should I lick it?" He asked, motioning down. He brushed his finger against my ass.

I gripped his hair as I clenched up. "Troy, I swear to god."

He smirked. "What?"

"I'm not drunk enough for that."

"But you said… by the car."

"Really? Out of everything, that's what got you going?" I asked him, relaxing again.

He chuckled. "No, just seeing you gets me going." He stood up, pulling off his boxers. I laid on my couch, lifting my leg to rest it on the top of the couch. I let the other hang off. Troy stood over me and I gripped his hard penis, slipping the head into my mouth.

My other hand, wandered down my body. My finger brushed along my wetness, coming back up to circle my clit. I stroked him in the same rhythm I stroked myself. I released him with a pop and watched him walk to the end of the couch. He grabbed my ankles sliding me across the couch. He lifted my hips and rested my ass on top of the arm of the couch.

I rolled onto my stomach and he slid himself into me slowly. I stretched out my arms, grabbing a hold of the couch cushion. He put his strong hands on my ass cheeks, working himself into me slowly. He pulled back slightly before slamming his hips against my ass. I gasped, squeezing the couch cushion. He kneaded my ass in his hands, spanking me firmly once he got into a set pace.

"Fuck baby." I mumbled in midst of my moans when he quickened his pace again. He leaned over me, reaching beneath me to play with my nipples.

He placed hot kissed along my back. His hands moved down to my hips. A set of fingers moved in between my legs, rubbing my sensitive bundle of nerves. I pushed my self up and he pulled out of me. I stood up, turning around to kiss his lips firmly. I pushed him down on the arm chair that sat next to the couch. I straddled his waist.

"You're so sexy." He murmured as I sank down on top of him. I grabbed the back of my chair, rocking my hips back and forth against him. He took advantage of the position, sucking a nipple into his mouth and leaving dark marks across my chest.

I lifted his chin up while I rode him slowly. I sucked in his bottom lip, tugging on it firmly. I licked his lips as I released it. I sunk down on him lower and he groaned in appreciation. "Mmm, you're so deep baby." I teased, kissing his ear. Troy shifted and he brushed up against my most sensitive spot.

He held me in place while he started moving his hips against me. "Fuck Ella."

"Oh, right there baby." I gripped on his shoulders as he quickened his pace. I tossed my head back, digging my nails into his shoulders. I squeezed my walls around him, as he coaxed me into a state of bliss. I rolled off of him, catching my breath. He leaned over, kissing my stomach gently.

A firm knock at the door made us jump. Troy and I looked at each other. We got up quickly. "Are you going to answer it?" He asked as we gathered our clothes.

"I'm naked!" I reminded him.

"Well?" He asked.

I put my hand up. "Who is it?" I called out, checking over the couch.

"It's your mother, open up, it's cold out here."

I winced. "I'll be there in a minute mom." Troy looked at me wide eyed. I pushed our clothes into his arms. He tossed them into my room and we headed for the bathroom. I turned on the shower and pushed him in. "Take care of that and I'll talk to my mother." He climbed into the shower. "Sorry."

"Hey, it's okay. It's un expected." He said, leaning over to give me a quick kiss.

There was another knock. "Fuck." I shut the door behind me and I went into my room. I threw on some clothes and tied my hair into a bun. I sprayed Lysol on my couch and chair. "Oh dear god." I said, rubbing my forehead. I threw blankets over them before I washed my hands and answered the door.

"What was all that about?" My mother said, walking into my apartment.

"I was cleaning, amongst other things." I said, breathlessly. "My friend Troy just stopped by and he was being a messy boy… you know." I said, rolling my eyes. "I'm surprised you're here."

"I would have called but I just hopped in the car and drove up here. It was a spur in the moment thing."

"Mom you live at least nine hours away."

"Okay, I lied, I flew but it's such a long drive." She said, walking towards the couch. I let out a breath of relief when she sat on the coffee table. "I'm going to go to a hotel then maybe we can go out for dinner."

I heard the shower stop. "Yeah, that'll be great."

"I'm so proud of you, you're finally done. You're my only baby. I miss you. I thought it'd be a nice surprise."

"I miss you too mom. It is a nice surprise." I said, watching Troy run to my room in a towel. He closed the door behind him. "Hey mom, just sit here and I'll be right back." I said, walking into my room. Troy looked at me startled, trying to cover himself up. "Give me your keys."

"Why?" He asked, looking for them.

"I'm going to go get your stuff when I make my mother leave."

He chuckled. "You're mean."

"I know." I said, catching his keys as he tossed them to me. I slipped out the door and closed it behind me again. "Sorry about that." I said, putting his keys in my pocket. "Let's get you settled in at a hotel and then you can call me, I'll meet you anywhere you want to go."

"Alright." She said, getting up. "You can invite your boyfriend too."

"He's just a friend." I said quickly.

"Oh, well." She said with a small smirk. "He can still come if he wants."

"Alright mama. Let me walk you out." I said, opening the front door. I walked her to her rental and I hugged her tightly. "I love you mom."

"I love you too." She said squeezing me back. She pulled away digging in her jacket pocket. "I'm so proud of you."

I smiled at her. "Thanks mom."

"And I'm glad you're using condoms." She said, putting a condom in my hands. I opened my mouth to say something. "It was in between the cushions of your couch." She said with a smirk. "I'll call you."

I closed my mouth, watching her get in the car. "Okay." Is all I said.

She rolled down her window, smiling in satisfaction. "Love you baby." She said as she backed out.

I sighed, waving to her. "I love you too."

I watched her drive away, shaking my head to myself. I slid the condom in my back pocket. I grabbed Troy's stuff from his car and locked it up. I went back upstairs and walked into my room. He was sitting on my bed in a towel. "How did that go?"

I just sighed, handing him his bag and his keys. "She found the condom in my couch. She knows were having sex. She invited you to dinner. I'm pretty sure you have to come."

He smirked a little bit. "Alright. Mom's usually love me."

I rolled my eyes. "Sure."

"They do! I have an boyish charm about me." He moved closer to me.

I pushed him away. "Go away, go get dressed. I have to go take a shower and bleach my couch."

He chuckled. "Can I have a kiss first?"

I sighed. "I guess." He grinned, pulling me close to him. He pressed his naked body up against me. He kissed my lips slowly, his hands moving down to my butt. He flicked his tongue out and I brushed my tongue against his slowly. He pulled me closer to him. He started to firm up against my stomach. I pulled away slowly. "I thought you took care of that." I said, pointing down towards his penis.

"I couldn't jack off when your mother was in the next room. That's weird." He defended.

"Well that sucks, you're going to have to sit through dinner with blue balls." I said, giving him a quick kiss. "I have to go shower."


Troy placed his hand on my thigh, squeezing it gently on our way to dinner. Mom called after I got out of the shower and she wanted to meet up at the restaurant at the hotel she was staying. I let Troy drive my car because I didn't really feel like driving. I leaned against him as he drove.

I had been mentally preparing myself and him for the storm that is my mother. She was blunt and she said whatever was on her mind at the moment. She was crazy, but what mom isn't? I was a bit nervous. I think I was more nervous than Troy was. He looked perfectly fine.

We pulled into the parking lot. He put his arm around my waist as he lead me into the restaurant. "Gabi! Over here." My mom was at the bar with a drink already in her hands.

I looked over at Troy and we walked over to her. "Hey mom." I gave her a kiss on the cheek. "This is my friend Troy."

She smiled at him. "It's nice to meet you Troy. We can probably go tell the hostess the table is ready."

"Let's go." He said simply. He put his hand on the small of my back.

We got seated at a table and ordered. We made small talk as we waited for the food. In the middle I excused myself to go to the bathroom. When I came back Troy and my mom were chatting it up. I guess his boyish charm worked on my mother as well.

"Gabriella." My mom said immediately as I sat down.

"What?" I asked, wearily. She was on her third glass of wine.

"Why are you not in a relationship with this man?" She asked. I glanced over at Troy. "Don't look at him. I'm talking to you. He is nice, polite, he's sexy."

"Mother!"

"What? Look at him."

Troy chuckled awkwardly. "Oh my god, mom." I said, running my fingers through my hair. "What did you tell her?"

"I just said that we've been friends for a while. I told her when I asked you many times, and you turned me down."

I sighed, resting my head on my hand on the table. "Oh honey, you're getting hair in your pasta."

"She's ashamed of me." Troy said jokingly.

My head shot up and I glared at him. My mother laughed wholeheartedly. "He's got my stamp of approval."

"Thank you mother."

"You're welcome baby." She said, rubbing my hand. "Let me just remind you all how I feel about relationships. I am really apprehensive about them. I think you're a great guy Troy, I do. Am I ready for a relationship right now? I don't know."

He smiled, kissing my hand. "Don't worry about it Ella. I know. I'll wait."

"See, he will wait for you." Mom exasperated.

I sighed, squeezing Troy's hand in mine. "Mom, drop it."

"Fine, fine. I'm just saying, you're putting Troy and yourself through a whole bunch of shit. The world knows you're going to get together, eventually." She said. "You can marry her if you want." She said, turning to Troy. "Welcome to the family, son." She leaned over to kiss his cheek.

"Mom, you're scaring him."

"No, I kind of like that.. Son." Troy said, smiling proudly.

"Both of you stop. You're scaring me, now." I said, looking over at them. They both laughed and I shook my head at them. I picked up my fork and continued eating. "You both suck." I said with my mouthful.

"Ella, don't talk with your mouthful."

"I'm sure she's done it before." Mom quipped.

I glared at her after it processed in my mind. "Mom!"

"What?" She asked.

Troy raised his eyebrows. "What?"

"She just called me a slut."

"I did not!" Mom defended.

Troy laughed quietly. "It's not funny." I said, swiping at him.

"You have a perverted mind, Gabriella." Mom said, popping a piece of Broccoli in her mouth.

"Yes, she does." Troy agreed.

"Why did I agree to this dinner?"

"Oh, come on, Gabriella." Mom said, nudging me. "Be a good sport. You guys obviously didn't put that condom to use or else she wouldn't be this grumpy."

"Mom!" I said, covering my face with my hands. "Why?"

"You know I do it because I love you." She said, kissing my head.

"I'm done." I said, putting my napkin on my plate.

"Come on El, don't be like that." Troy said. "She's just teasing." I shrugged my shoulders. "You should wait until you meet my mom. She likes telling everybody every dumb thing I did as a kid." I looked at him. "The jungle gym story, that one time in the first grade, how I used to make myself throw up when I was mad."

My face finally broke as I giggled. "I can't wait to meet your mom."

"You're never going to meet my mom unless we are serious. That is for our safety and the sake of our relationship." He said, chuckling.

"So tell me again why you aren't together?" Mom said, ruining the moment. I groaned to myself.


Last chap tomorrow. I didn't start on the epilouge. I guess i should go do that now... lol. Anywho- Have a wonderful Friday. Don't forget to review.
