Chapter 10: Memories

We reached my apartment later that night and once we had gotten inside my stomach was full of butterflies. I walked in, with Troy behind me, turned on the light and sat down on my couch.

"Gabi are you ok?" troy asked with concern.

"I'm fine," I said trying to smile.

Troy looked into my eyes and I couldn't make myself look away. "You are so lying."

I sighed, "I'm just nervous I guess."

"Why? We've done this all before," Troy said.

"I know but we were young and so much has changed since then!" I exclaimed. "You have a daughter! I am not the same girl I was in high school troy! I've grown up and I don't want to do anything I'll regret!"

Troy looked at me with surprise in his eyes and said, "Gabi, you know I won't force you to do anything you don't want to. Yes, I have a daughter but I thought you were ok with that! I mean I have grown up since high school too. We both have. I don't want you to regret anything either. How bout we just talk for a little bit then I'll go, ok?"

"I'm so sorry Troy. I didn't mean to yell. It's just been a long and surprising day," I said ashamed that I had yelled at him. "Yeah we can talk. You know I definitely do not regret kissing you today though."

He smiled, "Me either Gabi."

We spent an hour talking about everything that had happened to us in the past 4 years. I know it didn't seem like a lot but we uncovered a lot of things about ourselves.

Going back and forth about our lives and all that had happened to us I realized that Troy was just the same guy he had been when we first met. I mean I know it's strange for a guy not to change at all but for me it was relief. I didn't know if I had changed all that much but I believed I had but for the better.

We talked about the fun times in high school. We made sure to stay away from that dreadful day that had changed our lives forever. I kept wondering to myself what would've happened if we had stuck it out and not broken up? Would we still be together? Or would we've broken up without a chance of getting back together? I shook my head at the thought of us not making it through. Our love was strong I could tell because after four long years I still felt the exact same as I did in high school. Now I knew that it truly was love and not just infatuation.

"Gabi, are you still with me?" I heard Troy ask.

"Huh?" I said surprised

I turned to look at Troy and noticed that he was smiling. "I said are you still with me?"

"Yeah, sorry," I said quickly.

"What were you in deep thought about?" His tone was teasing and curious.

"I was just wondering what might of happened if we hadn't broken up." I said hoping that I didn't hurt him again. I knew he didn't like talking about it.

He smiled at me, "You know I wonder that all the time."

"Really?" I asked truly surprised.

"Yeah," he said softly. "I think that if we hadn't broken up we'd still be together. I know that you did it for good reason Gabi, but were you that afraid that we wouldn't make it?" He asked louder.

I was surprised that he answered so confidently. I really thought that he wouldn't talk about it at all. Now I had a different question to consider though. Did I think that we couldn't make it? I spoke honestly, "Honestly? I didn't think you would want me anymore after we were at different colleges. I wasn't sure if I could handle be that far away from you either. It still hurts though I know what I did to you that day. I thought that I was doing the right thing but look at where we are now! We are once again together and this time I'm here forever."

I looked at Troy and he looked back at me with love filled eyes. The he spoke quietly again, "Gabi I never stopped loving you. I know that I made a mistake but that mistake gave me the greatest little girl in the world! Even though you broke my heart when you broke up with me, I still knew that we were meant to be together. I love you Gabi and I won't ever stop."

I smiled. I knew he loved me but it changed everything once I heard him say the words out loud. Now I could truly let myself fall for him again but I knew I was already there. But something else entered my mind.

"What about Lily? How do we explain this to her?" I asked worried. I didn't want to get attached in case something, although I was crossing my fingers that nothing would actually happen, unknown was to happen.

"Well, she will have to know everything up front. I mean we can't exactly keep our relationship a secret," Troy said thoughtfully. "I haven't had to explain myself to her since her mom left, so this will be an interesting talk."

I giggled. "Well, that is interesting."

"What is?" he asked.

"You haven't had a girlfriend to explain to her," I said relieved.

"Nope I haven't but that has changed now," he teased.

"Oh it has?" I asked innocently. "So who is this girlfriend of yours?"

"She is a beautiful girl with the cutest laugh whenever I tickle her," He said menacing.

I looked at him with skeptical eyes. "He wouldn't!" I thought to myself. I continued to watch him when he suddenly jumped from his side of the couch over to mine so that he was on top of me. I squealed.

"Troy! Get off of me!! You mean man you!!!" I yelled as I giggled.

"Ah, there's that cute laugh of yours," he whispered into my ear.

I realized how close he actually was. I turned my head and pressed my lips gently to his. I was glad to feel his lips move with mine. I reached up and my hands made their way into his hair as his found their way to my hair. His tongue pressed lightly on my lips wanting entrance. I opened my mouth and felt his tongue enter. He began to move his hand out of my hair and slid it gently down my slide and it rested just above my breast. I let one of my hands free of his hair and began to play with the end of his shirt. He smiled at my eagerness. He slid his hand so that it was on top of my breast. He gently massaged it while he kept kissing me. He made no move to take off his shirt so I slid my hand underneath it and began to caress his abs. He moaned in my mouth. He began to massage me harder and I could feel my wetness growing. I then in return began to move my hand closer to his already growing bludge. He continued to kiss me with passion. I tried to reach for his shirt again when I noticed that his hand had left my hair and he had started to massage the other one. I moaned and my back arched. I again reached this time for his bludge but I didn't stop I gently caressed him and I could hear his breath quicken. Finally his shirt was off and I stopped kissing him to look at his chest. He had begun to fill his muscles out even more than I had remembered. He realized that I was distracted and he began to move his hand of my breast and closer to my stomach. My heart started to beat faster as I realized where he was going. He looked at me and pressed his lips to mine. He tongue didn't wait for my to let it in as he forced my mouth open. His hand continued to travel farther down and he reached for the button of my pants and used his free hand to undo my pants. I wriggled out of them. His fingers were outside my panties. I felt myself get wetter. His finger gently stroked my opening and my breath caught in my throat. My hands went after his pants too. I reached for his button but he had already undone them and they were off. I smiled at his excitement. I used my hands to again caress his erection and I heard his breathing get faster. His fingers were now inside of me. I felt myself close around them as he pumped them in and out of me. My back arched and I started to moan.

"Troy! I'm going to come!" I moaned again.

"Wait baby. Wait for me." He whispered hoarsely in my ear.

Before I knew what was happening his boxers had come of and my panties too. He reached in his pants pocket for a condom and slipped it over his erection.

I felt him inside of me and I again moaned. My hips rocked back and forth in the same motion as his did. My back arched and I my breathing was just gasps. His hands were on my breasts again. He reached behind me and undid the clasp. My bra was thrown on the floor with the rest of our clothes. I paid little attention to the mess because he had started to kiss and suck on my erect breast. My hips continued to rock against his and I felt my orgasm begin.

"Troy! I'm almost there!" I moaned louder than ever.

"I know baby me too!" Troy moaned just as loud as me.

I felt my walls close around him and I came. He did too.

I felt him come out of me. I wrapped my arms around him and sighed happily. He smiled and touched his sweaty forehead to mine.

"That was worth waiting for," he said.

"It was." I said happily. I gently kissed his lips. I nestled my head into the crook of his arm.

I felt myself start to drift off when I heard knocking at our door.

"Who is that?" I wondered aloud.

"I don't know." Troy said.

I walked to the front door with just Troy's shirt on and looked through the peephole. Little to my surprise it was Chad and Taylor.

"I hope you had fun!" Chad yelled through the door. "Troy come on dude! We have to get up early tomorrow!"

I laughed as I opened the door, "Would you stop yelling Chad. You'll wake the neighbors."

I ushered them inside and saw that Troy had put his boxers back on.

"Chad, what are we going to do with you?!" Troy asked incredulously.

Taylor and I laughed. I watched as the two best friends looked at one another. Troy was completely annoyed and Chad was completely clueless.

Taylor looked at me and smiled and asked, "How was it?"

I giggled. "I'm so not telling you."

Her smile got wider, "That good huh?"

I just nodded. I looked over at Troy and Chad again to see that Chad still had no idea what was going on.

Troy said flustered, "Oh, never mind! You'll never get it!"

Chad laughed, "Hey! I'm not a total dumbass. How was Gabs in the sack?"

Taylor looked at him and frowned. She took back her hand and hit him in the back of the head.

"You know for someone not being a dumbass, you sure do ask some dumbass questions!" She yelled at Chad.

I looked at Troy and just rolled my eyes. This brought back all of those embarrassing high school memories. It was nice to know that nothing between Chad and Taylor had changed. They were just like Troy and me.

I walked across the room towards Troy and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You know this is just like old times," I said giggling.

"Yep, it is and I wouldn't change it for the world," Troy said smiling. He kissed me gently on the lips.

Chad said, "Would you two stop acting all lovey dovey?!! Troy get dressed we have to go!"

Troy glared at Chad, "Better watch out tonight Danforth. I will hurt you if you don't stop."

Chad looked at Troy and rolled his eyes, "Whatever Bolton. Just go ahead and try."

"Oh, I will," troy said darkly.

I looked at the two best friends. I couldn't help but laugh. Taylor soon joined in, as did Chad and Troy.

"Men!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Oh, never mind," I said. "There isn't enough time to explain everything that is so strange about men tonight. We do have to get up early so I think you should get going." I looked at Troy and he smiled. He kissed my once more and went into the living room to get his clothes.

Once he was done, he walked back out fully dressed except for his shirt. "I need my shirt Gabi."

"Ok, fine," I pouted.

"You know what keep it," He said, as he knew he couldn't resist my pout. "Chad I need you jacket."

"Why?" Chad complained but handed it over anyways.

"Thanks man and maybe tonight I won't kill you," Troy said smiling. He kissed me goodbye and he and Chad left.

"Ok, Gabs, seriously tell me everything!" Taylor said as soon as the door shut.

"Tomorrow Tay, I'm really tired," I said giggling.

"That good huh?" She asked already knowing the answer.

"Yep," I said with a smile on my face.
