-Chapter 9: It Wasn't Over, it Still isn't Over!-
The next morning, Troy woke up with the sun shining in his face, making him groan and wanting to roll over on to his stomach, but knowing that was a problem because of the beautiful sleeping Filipina that laid peacefully on his bare god-like chest.
Troy couldn't help smiling as he took in the sight of beautiful girl who was had her head over his heart on his chest, her arm wrapped tightly around his torso, a smile on her beautiful face, her hair sprawled over his chest, her legs tangled with his in the red satin sheets, and the glow of her golden skin due to the Mexican sunlight, that made her even more stunning, if possible.
"God, your so beautiful and you don't even know it because you selfless," Troy whispered with a smile as he brushed a curl out of her eyes and gently tucked it behind her ear. And before he knew it he was leaning his head down and connecting their lips in a soft (yet passionate) kiss that he thought he could give her without her waking up, but boy was he wrong because soon Gabriella still with eyes closed (and probably not thinking) started to kiss him back.
Gabriella finally realizing what was happening after five minutes, she broke the kiss and used all of her strength to push him off of her after he had rolled on top of her after they were three minutes into the kiss. Sitting up quickly, Gabriella turned to Troy with a stunned and yet angry face before asking, "What the fuck was that?!"
"Um…a kiss," Troy replied rubbing the back of his neck as he sat up and leaned against the glass headboard.
"I know that, jackass. I meant WHY DID YOU KISS ME?" Gabriella asked him.
"Um…because I wanted too," Troy told her like it was the simplest thing in the world.
"WHY?!"
"Why what?" He asked her, confused.
"Why did you want too because if you think you can just kiss me and then think I'll end up sleeping with you. You got another fucking thing coming!" Gabriella spat at him.
"Brie, that was the fartest thing from my mind. I just simply wanted to kiss you," Troy told her and watched as her eyes went wide with tears and shock. Wondering what he did or said wrong he thought back just a brief few minutes, and then cursed himself. And when he went to say something about it, he found the girl out on the balcony leaning on the railing looking at the ocean and he knew that tears were streaming because he had let THAT name slip, a name he hadn't called her in almost THREE YEARS, a name that meant so much to them.
"Why?" Gabriella asked him as she sensed him come out onto the balcony, into the hot Mexican sun.
"It just felt…natural. You know?" Troy replied.
"No Troy! I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! HOW COULD I?!" Gabriella spat at him as she kept her eyes locked on the ocean.
"How could you not?!" Troy shot back and instantly knew what was coming and where this was headed. It was probably (and most likely) heading for a heated argument that had been brewing from SO long ago.
"How could I not?! Hmm, let's think about that. I mean seriously Troy! We WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS SO LONG AGO! BUT that all changed when you went away to Las Vegas for basketball camp and forgot about me.."
"You AREN'T the center of the world,Montez," Troy spat at her, using the nickname she hated because he held so much hate and venom.
"Well, if I remember correctly Bolton before you got on that plane and left for Vegas you said and I directly quoted: 'Brie, I'LL NEVER FORGET ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CENTER OF MY WORLD!' unquote! Now what do you have to say?! Do you even REMEMBER?!" Gabriella asked him, still not having turned around to face him.
"I remember EVERYTHING that we say or do," Troy mumbled and Gabriella heard him perfectly.
"You do! Do you?! Wow, who knew lunkhead basketball jock could remember THAT far back!" Gabriella said.
"You're a cold heartless bitch you know that?!" Troy spat at her.
"Me?! A bitch! Never, but thank you for the compliment," Gabriella replied cheekily.
"That was no fucking compliment," Troy replied.
"Sure it was because you're really saying is that I'm beautiful," Gabriella told him.
"I did not! Stop putting fucking words in my mouth, Montez."
"Seriously you're saying I'm beautiful because a bitch is a dog, a dog barks, bark's on a tree, a tree is a part of nature, and nature is beautiful. So you ARE calling me beautiful."
"I've always thought you were beautiful," Troy told her truthfully and Gabriella could tell it was the truth by the seriousness and tone in his voice.
"What?!" Gabriella asked shocked as she finally turned around, stunned, searching his eyes for an answer.
"You heard me. I said you're beautiful and I've always thought it," Troy told her with a soft smile.
"NO! YOU CAN'T!" Gabriella yelled back at him.
"NO?! I CAN'T WHAT?! CARE ABOUT YOU?! TELL YOU YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN?! I CAN'T LOVE YOU?!"
And as the last thing slipped out Troy's mouth, Gabriella's eyes went wide with shock as Troy's went wide with fear as he just admitted something that he had told no one, something that his heart and mind fought over each day.
"Then why?" Gabriella cried shaking her head frantically from side to side.
"Why what?"
"Why didn't you write me? Call me? Talk nicely to me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for almost three years, plus the three months of that summer! But now it's too late!"
"Too late?! What do you mean to late?! And stopped waiting for me a long time ago?! That's a lie because you once told me and I quoted : 'Troy, its NEVER to late because I'll always wait for you. You're my world.' Unquote." Troy told her.
"That was then this is now. I'm…I'm following my heart and the promise I made to myself after what happened," Gabriella told him before she moved past him to go back inside.
"God damn it Gabriella! It's not about that!"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"FEAR! You're afraid!"
"You smug bastard. I hate you for saying that."
"You're bored Gabriella. You're board and you know it. You wouldn't be saying all of this if there wasn't something missing. And that things me!"
"You arrogant selfish son of a bitch!"
"Would you just be with me, please?!"
"Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fighting!"
"Well, that's what we do, we fight…You tell me when I'm being an arrogant selfish son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99 percent of the time! I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings! You have a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing."
"So what?
"So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want YOU. I want all of you, FOREVER, YOU AND ME, EVERYDAY. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's not with me, then fine! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out. But you want to know what?"
"What?" Gabriella asked with a shrug of her shoulders.
"It wasn't over for me! It still isn't over!" Troy said before he walked up to her and kissed her just as she opened her mouth to speak again.
And as they kissed the passion grew as Troy walked her backwards so she was pressed up tightly against the wall.
Gabriella forgetting what had happened just a few minutes ago, quickly granted him entrance to her mouth without any hesitation as he thrust his tongue into her mouth and started to take control, but Gabriella being the stubborn girl she was wouldn't let him have it without a fight, making their tongues start to play a game of tag.
Soon Troy's right hand slowly started to bring down the zipper of her navy sweatshirt that she had put on the night before because of the chill. Without breaking the kiss, Troy used his hands to push her jacket off, leaving her only in her navy satin bra when…
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?!"
TBC…
Well, there you all have it, the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it! As you can tell I love The Notebook (both movie and book), I just HAD to twist Allie's and Noah's fight into this and I personally think it works out fabulous because I want fabulous (sorry, I started to right the lyrics to Fabulous, what can I say a true HSM lover)! I want FIVE reviews please, XOXO.
Happiness. Hope. && Eternal Love.
Just once I want someone to look at me and right away think I'm beautiful. Not after they get to know me, or after they see inside my soul…just me. I want to walk into a room and light it up, not blend,
