Chapter 9-

Ryan pulled up to the Montez household about an hour and a half later. Troy, Gabriella, Elizabeth, and Ryan all got the bags out and took them to the correct rooms while Nichole checked the mail and voicemails. "I'm so hungry." Lizzy said as Troy fell across Gabriella's bed on his stomach, while she and Ryan took a seat on the couch. Ryan and the two girls laughed at Troy.

"Tired babe?" Gabriella asked lifting his head high enough so she could sit down before placing it back in her lap and running her fingers through his dark brown hair. He just nodded before nestling his face into her stomach.

"Turn this park into a club,

The stars are lights,

And the moon is a vibe from above,

The skateboards here's our ride, so pull on up,

Everyone is waiting for us

Anywhere we are,

Anywhere we go,

Everybody knows,

We got the party with us,

Anywhere we are,

Anywhere we go,

Everybody knows,

We got the party with us" Ryan's cell phone went off, he pulled it out of his pocket and hit talk. "Hey Jason." he greeted Jason. "Yeah we're at Gabbi's place right now." he said then listen to Jason tell him something. "Yeah okay. Yep it's all good. See you in a few." Ryan says and then hangs up. "Bolton." he calls out to Troy.

"What?" the brown haired boy mumbles against his girlfriends stomach, not brothering to move an inch.

"We have to go." Ryan said while trying to not give to much away.

"Don't wanna move." Troy said before placing a kiss to Gabriella's stomach.

"Too bad cause we have to get to that thing, now come on." Ryan says standing up then holds his hand out to Lizzy to help her up.

"I so call shot gun." Lizzy says as she grabs Ryan's hand and he helps her up.

"Whatever." Troy says heaving his self from the bed before holding his hand out to Gabriella. She smiles as she takes his and the four teenagers walk out of the room.

"Hey Nichole what time is Gabbi's and Lizzy's curfew?" Ryan ask as they walk down the stairs and into the living room.

"Midnight." Gabriella, Troy, and Nichole all answer at the same time. Lizzy giggles at them.

"Okay they'll be back then." Ryan says before turning to lead them out of the house.

"Baby girl do you have your key?" Nichole ask causing the teens to stop in their tracks.

"Shit, no. Troy wanna come with me to get it?" She ask turning to her boyfriend.

"Sure." he says then turns to the other two. "Well meet you outside." he says before they turn to head back up the stairs.

"Don't freaking try anything Bolton. We don't have time for you two to fool around." Ryan yells after them.

"RYAN!! My mother is in the house!" Gabriella yells back as she and Troy run up the stairs with a blush forming on her cheeks.

"I'm just saying." the blonde yells back laughing. Then turns to said mother. "You didn't hear anything if you didn't already know." Ryan says covering his ass while Elizabeth laughed at the scene in front of her. Oh yeah living with her favorite aunt and cousin was definitely gonna be fun.

"Relax Ryan, I already knew." Nichole says standing up from the couch and walking over to the two teenagers. Nichole pulled Elizabeth aside while Ryan made a call on his Iphone. "I want you to have fun tonight okay." Nichole said softly placing her hands on her niece's face. "If you want to come home...I mean if you ant to come back sooner then just let Gabriella know and she'll be okay with it"

"I'll be fine Aunt Cole." Elizabeth said smiling at her aunt. "Ryan and Troy seem cool. They clearly mean a lot to Gabs so they have to be okay. I know she doesn't let people in that easily." the young girl said.

"You're right but right now I'm worried about you. I don't want you to feel like you're being thrown into Gabriella's life. The two young men you met tonight do mean very much to her, but they don't have to you yet if ever. Gabs and I know that it's gonna take some time for you to get situated here." Nichole said running a hand over the smooth thick dark brown locks of her nieces hair.

"It'll be okay. I mean I know the pain is never gonna go away, but Mom and Dad would want me to move on and be happy." Elizabeth said with a sad smile.

"You're right sweetie." Nichole said kissing her forehead.

"Besides if all the guys are that good looking," she says looking at Ryan from the connor of her eye.

"Then I'll definitely have something to keep me busy." Elizabeth said with a big smile.

"You and Gabriella are definitely alike in more then just one way. She was the same way with Troy when we first moved here. She actually got her first B because of that boy." Nichole said and they both laughed, know that Gabriella never received anything lower then an A.

"Wow, Lover Boy really does mean a lot to her." Lizzy said controlling her laughter as Ryan walked over to them.

"Alright you guys have fun tonight and if you want stay out till 12:30." the mother of now two said smiling at the two teens in front of her. Ryan nodded before grabbing Elizabeth's hand and leading her towards the door.

"Thanks Nichole." Ryan said as he opened the door and Elizabeth walked out before him.


"I'm gonna kill Evans." Troy said as they walked back into his girlfriends room.

"Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal." Gabriella said looking in her night stand for her key.

"How is it not a big deal? He pretty much told your mom and cousin that we are having sex." Troy said sitting on the arm of the couch.

"It's not a big deal because I may have gone on the pill when I was in New York and my mom may have found it, and thinking that it was Lizzy's she went to give it back to her only to have Lizzy show her a purity ring that she's had since she was 15." Gabriella said like it was nothing while moving to her desk when she couldn't find her key.

"What?! Oh my God your mom is gonna kill me." Troy said hiding his face in his hands. Gabriella looked over her shoulder to her distraught boyfriend, sighing to herself she paused her search for her house key and walked over to him.

"Hey look at me." she says placing her hands on his knees and squatting down till she's eye level with him. When he does look at her she smiles at him. "My mom is not gonna kill you. I told her that I was ready and you didn't push me into anything okay." she says grabbing his hand and placing a soft kiss to it. "She's just happy we're being safe so no worries"

"Promise?" Troy asked.

"Promise." she said and stood up to kiss him. She ran her hand though his hair and smiled at him before going to turn back to her desk. Troy grabbed her hand causing her to turn and face him again. "What?" she asked when he pulled her to him.

"I missed you." he says smiling at her.

"I missed you too." she said and lent down to kiss him. Pulling away from him she walked back to her desk to look though the top draw. "Where the hell did I put that key?" she asked out loud to no on in practical.

"Bottom draw." Troy told her. She nodded and squatted down so she could look for it. When she did her jeans went lower on her back and her shirt went higher, giving Troy a perfect view of the small of her back. He had to do a double take but once he saw sure he saw the red heart with a white number fourteen in it with it all outlined in black. He smiled to himself then quietly made his way behind his girlfriend. "So were you gonna tell me or just let me find it." he whispered in her ear causing her to jump and ran his finger over it.

"Jesus Troy don't scare me like that." she said looking at him. He just smiled at her and traced the tattoo again. "I was gonna show you on Friday before your game. Do you like it? It's not to much is it?" She asked looking in his eyes. "Cause I can get it removed if it's too much." she said looking down.

"No, it's not to much and I like it. It means that if any guy comes near you I get to kill them. You're officially branded as my girl." he said before kissing her. "So the tongue ring and the tattoo. Anything else I should know about?" He asked.

She rolled her eyes, grabbed the key she finally found, stood up and lifted her shirt up in the front enough to reveal the blue topaz star. "I did this one for me. You know how long I wanted it done." she said pulling her shirt back down. "The last one you don't get until Friday and only if you win." she said before kissing him and walking out of the room. Troy shook his head and followed after her. He had a feeling what his last gift and it gave him that much more motivation to win. Thank God his mom had a meeting in Sante Fe on Monday, so she and his dad were leaving after the game so they could have a weekend away. Troy had every intention on using his empty house to his advantage.


So there it is. Please R & R.
