Chapter 10
Gabriella awoke to the sunshine peeking through the shades and falling upon her face. She yawned stretching out her stiff body and becoming more conscience from her slumber. As she laid in bed staring at the white ceiling the remembrance of yesterdays events came back into her brain. The most important thing she remembered was that Troy was here, present in her household and sleeping on her couch. The thought of knowing he was present made her heart swell. She arose out of bed and walked into the bathroom to re-freshen up. She looked in the mirror once finish brushing her teeth and made sure her appearance looked acceptable. She saw how skimpy her chemise was and grabbed her black matching robe to cover over it. She ran her dainty fingers through her long locks fixing her messy curls. Gabriella nodded feeling rather satisfied and ready to head downstairs to make some breakfast for the shaggy haired man.
As she reached the bottom of the steps she quietly walked into her living room to find Troy still sleeping. She moved more into the area to get a better look at the gorgeous man. Her eyes skimped from his peaceful face down to his bare chest, the rise and fall in a steadily pace. The blanket was clutched against him and she saw the contours of his abs through the material. Gabriella bit her bottom lip in desire. Her mind went back to the time she had saw him naked, the picture of him in all his glory was still fresh in her mind. Gabriella's daydreaming had blinded her and kept her from doing what she was suppose to be doing, she was so blinded that she didn't even notice Troy's sleepy eyes open and stare at her.
"Brie?" he said groggily.
Until then did Gabriella snap back into reality and realize he had caught her. Her cheeks flush to a dark chrism red as she stared down at her toes fighting to gaze up at the man she was daydreaming about.
"Brie." he said more coherent as he rose into a sitting postion rubbing his tired eyes.
"Um... what would you like for breakfast?" she asked almost inaudible.
Troy moved toward her stretching an arm out to wrap around her small body and pull her onto his lap. She was hesitant at first but then gave in buring her red face in her small hands hiding away in embarrassment. Troy chuckled and pulled her closer to him pressing his bare chest against her silky covered arm.
"Don't be embarrassed." He chuckled lowly. "Look at me."
Gabriella murmured in her hands still unwilling to take them away from her face. "No."
Troy chuckled. "Come on please?"
Gabriella shook her head.
He grinned. "Well then you leave me no choice." He loosened his grip around her body and began wiggling his fingers viciously at her sides.
Gabriella's hands quickly fell as her eyes widen and her mouth open letting loud giggles spill out. Troy continued to tickling her as he watch her fiddle and move around in his grasp.
"I will let you go if you promise to look at me." Troy grinned continuing to tickle her.
Gabriella giggle out of control trying to regain her breathing tempo, still not facing him. She shook her head trying her hardest to escape away from the blue-eyed man.
Troy chuckled. "Fine then I'm not gonna stop." And he continued to wiggle his fingers more against her sides.
Gabriella began crying as due to her laughing to hard. She couldn't take it anymore. "FINE! FINE!" She breathed out in a laugh.
Troy's fingers came to a stop but still layed on her sides as he watch her face turn and her brown orbs lock with his. He watched as she tried to catch her breathe and stood staring at him. Troy began leaning in to taste those sweet soft lips he missed, but just as he got close Gabriella took advantage and moved quickly out of his grasp. Standing off of his lap and running to the kitchen giggling along the way.
Troy couldn't help but smile that goofy smile that always occurred whenever he thought about her. He lifted himself off the couch and followed her into the kitchen. He watched as he saw her take out a couple of pans. He began to walk over to her smirking.
Gabriella grinned holding up one of the pans. "I'm not afraid to use this!"
Troy chuckled and quickly pulled her to him and into his embrace. He wrapped his strong arms around her petite body. "You didn't think I was just gonna let you get away that easy."
Gabriella grinned looking up at him. "I only hoped."
Troy smirked and cupped her cheek rubbing his thumb softly against it. "Well Miss Montez you left me hanging over there and I have to admit it hurt. So I believe you would have to repay me for the hurt you caused."
She arched a brow while continuing her gaze upon him. "Hm.. And how will I ever repay you Mister Bolton?"
He smirked then puckered up his lips closing his eyes waiting. Gabriella giggled softly before she leaned up and pressed her lips upon his own in a soft gentle kiss. Troy held her face close as they exchange a sweet blissful kiss which soon became more intense and heated. Troy's hands wandered down from her small back to the parting of her thighs, he spread them apart lifting her up as he placed her upon the counter. He then held her legs open for him to slip in between them never breaking the kiss. Troy's tongue eagerly brushed against Gabriella's bottom lip begging for an entrance which she willingly opened letting him soft moist tongue explore her wet craven. Troy began sliding his hands up from her bare thighs, and underneath the silky night gown. His rough hands began to rub and touch her soft delicate skin, rubbing his fingers in a circular motion on her sides. He felt Gabriella sigh in pleasure against his mouth which made him more aroused. Just the imagery alone of having her on the counter in her skimpy night gown and him only in his boxers was arousing enough but to hear her sigh and moan just made his erection grow even more.
Gabriella felt his erection against her thigh and knew they needed to slow down as hard as it was. She was just as hot and bothered as he was but she wasn't ready to give herself to Troy. Being intimate with someone meant a lot to Gabriella, especially sex. Gabriella wasn't an easy girl she didn't just give herself to any man that desired for her. And as much as she desired for Troy she wasn't going to break her boundaries for him.
Gabriella pulled away from the intense kiss leaning her small forehead against Troy's. "We...should stop.." she whispered.
Troy opened his eyes looking at the beau in front of him, giving her a reassuring smile before placing a small kiss on her nose. "Okay I'm going to use the bathroom."
Gabriella nodded and smiled as he walked out of the kitchen. She began to look through her cabinets in search for what to make but then suddenly her doorbell rang. She frowned while making her way to the front door and opening it.
"GOOD MORNING!" The blonde squealed.
Gabriella giggled looking at her best friend and gesturing her to enter. "What are you doing here?"
Sharpay entered and followed Gabriella into the kitchen. "Well of corse to see my best friend and hope I can have some breakfast cause I'm starved."
Gabriella smirked. "Yeah right you just came for the breakfast."
Sharpay scoffed before grinning. "Fine I did. But what's up totally loving the chemise! Is that the one we bought together at the new lingerie store?"
She nodded before beginning to make breakfast. "Yes it is."
"Cute. So tell me what's going on how's work, austin, troy and everything else." The blonde grinned.
"Well work is good we're almost done with the season which is great cause we are signed up for another season and my manger was telling me that I should start auditioning for movies and do bigger things but I don't know...like I'm kind of scared." Gabriella scrunched up her small nose.
"I think that is fabulous Gabs if you do projects on the big screen. You'll make more money even though soap opera's make good money but movies especially they're a big hit, forget about it you'll be making millions! And maybe we can audition for movies together!" Sharpay squealed.
Gabriella giggled. "That's true...I'm not sure yet I need more time to think about it."
She nodded. "So now Austin! What's going on with that cheater?"
Gabriella sighed. "We'll he sent me flowers a couple of days ago along with these beautiful diamond earrings and a card. Then he showed up that same day after I had finish filming an episode talking about saying he missed me and tried to kiss me. "
"Did he?" The blonde asked.
Gabriella shook her head. "No I stopped him but his parents are in town and he wanted me to go to dinner with him and them and act like me and him were still engage."
Shar's eyes widen. "What the hell? Is he insane?"
"I don't know what's wrong with that guy. I of corse said no but then supposely he went to the dinner and tried to act like we were still together to his parents and him and Troy wineded up fighting." Gabriella stated while flipping over the omlet.
Sharpay gasped. "Oh my goodness."
"Yeah it was real bad, I'm glad I didn't attend." Gabriella stated.
"Didn't attend where?" Troy question smirking as he entered the kitchen.
Sharpay's eyes immediately switched onto Troy with a questioning look upon her face. "What are you doing here?"
Troy grinned at the blonde. "Well I snuck in last night while Brie was asleep and she couldn't resist this face so she agreed to let me sleep with her for the night."
Sharpay gasped. "Is that true Gabs?"
Gabriella shook her head giggling. "No! He's lieing to you. After the fight with him and Austin, I told Troy he could stay here for the night."
Sharpay smirked arching a thin brow. "In the same bed."
Gabriella narrowed her chocolate orbs. "You know me better than that."
"Well considering you these horny feelings you've been acting upon now and days I don't know." Sharpay smirked.
"What horny feelings?" Troy asked.
"Don't listen to her." Gabriella said.
"Licking his thum- -" Sharpay began
Gabriella interrupted quickly yelling. "SHARPAY!"
"Fine fine!" Shar chuckled holding up her hands.
Troy's eyes glared between the two best friends before saying. "Is the food almost done my stomach keeps talking."
Gabriella giggled. "Yes it is."
"So I heard you and your brother had it in for eachother. By the way I'm totally on your side cause he deserved what he got that dirty little bastard." Sharpay hissed.
Troy nodded. "Yeah he did."
"Okay! Breakfast is finished!" Gabriella said.
The trio made there way to the dining area where they laughed and ate their breakfast. Troy had to admit that Sharpay was funny. She was like this walking pink barbie doll but with a great sense of humor which Troy enjoyed and also because he heard more of Gabriella's giggles. After breakfast Sharpay informed the two that she had some errands to run leaving Troy and Gabriella alone again. Troy was debating weather to return home or not due to his wasn't in fact ready to see his sibling. When Troy had checked his phone his saw that he had tons of missed calls from both his parents and Chad. He decided that he would go and see his parents for awhile then have them escort him to his brothers house to retrieve more clothes for his stay at Gabriella's. Troy was so thankful and happy that Gabriella allowed him to stay at her house for the mean time. He was thankful because he wouldn't have to spend money in a hotel and he was happy because he was spending more and more time with her. Troy and Gabriella agreed to come back at a certain time due to she didn't have spare key to lend to him and she had to work today. Troy didn't care, as long as he got to be with her.
Troy began speeding down the highway to meet his parents at their hotel to have lunch. He wasn't really excited to see them because he knew he was going to get the only lecture about his behavior and actions the previous night. But they were his parents and he didn't get to see them that often so he was just going to have to get over it.
He parked his car and began entering the lobby where he spotted the restaturant that was held within the hotel. He immediately found his parents and began walking over to their table taking a seat.
"Hey.." Troy spoke lowly.
Lucielle looked at her youngest son with sympathy. "How are you Troy?"
He nodded and sighed. "I've been better."
"Well you look better than Austin." Jack chuckled lightly before Lucielle shot him a death glare. "Sorry." He mumbled.
"So would you like to explain what happen last night because I am totally lost.." Lucielle said.
Troy sighed looking down. "I just got mad because he was lying to you guys about his relationship with Bri-Gabriella."
Lucielle raised a brow shaking her head. "But you didn't have the make a scene like that Troy over that.."
"I know...It just gets me mad mama..."
"Why?" she questioned looking at her son.
Troy teared his eyes from the table and into his mothers eyes. "Because I have feelings for Gabriella..."
Immediately Lucielle's eyes widen as she gasped and Jack mumbled something in astonishment.
"You what?" Lucielle questioned as if she didn't believe what her son had said.
"I like Gabriella mama... a lot.." He sighed.
"But Troy you know that Austin love-" Lucielle was cutt off.
"I know I know.. they were suppose to get married and shit but a long the way I fell for her... she's different. And that's why when Austin kept saying those things about them being together just made me angry." Troy interrupted.
"How long have you felt like this?" Jack questioned.
Troy sighed. "Since Austin let me move in..."
"Oh god.. Does he know Troy?" Lucielle asked.
Troy just shrugged. "I don't know and honestly I don't care."
Jack looked at Troy. "Do you know if she feels the same way for you?"
Troy looked back. "I believe she does, we've both discussed how wrong it is for us to be feeling this way towards one another but it's like nothing else matters when were together..She gives me these feelings I have never felt for another woman, not even Victoria. She's special and I wish that I could have met her first before Austin because trust me I would of did things a whole lot different."
Jack nodded and Lucielle smiled softly at her son pouring out his feelings. "Do you ever see you and her together?"
Troy thought for a moment before answering. "Yes I do...I'm not sure if she does but I definitely do. I know that the only thing that is holding her back is Austin..I know she still has some sort of feelings for him because they had been together for a quite long time but I could only hope she could move forward and see herself with me, like i see her with me."
"You really like her don't you Troy?" Lucielle smiled reaching over the table to hold her sons hand.
Troy nodded and smile softly at her. "I do mama."
"Well then there's nothing much I can say but just don't fight with your brother again. You two are brothers Troy and I know things are difficult right now but you both are siblings and always have been there for one another Troy" She said.
Troy just nodded.
"Anyway where did you stay last night? I called Chad but he said you weren't there?" Lucielle asked.
"I stayed at Gabriella's." Troy admitted.
"Oh okay." Lucielle narrowed her eyes.
Troy sighed. "Don't worry mama I slept on the couch."
Jack chuckled and Lucille nodded smiling slightly.
After time of talking and enduring some lunch Troy had told his parents about his plan of them coming along with him to his brother house to get some more of his clothes. The parents agreed and soon left the restaturant following Troy in their car to their eldest sons home.
Troy let them enter the home first while he went up to his room as he walked in through the door his blue orbs widen as they saw all is belongings packed and ready to go. He sighed shaking his head and began grabbing his bags bringing them downstairs. He heard his brother talking to his parents and honestly didn't even care of greeting him or apologizing. If this is how it was gonna be then Troy was gonna deal with it.
Gabriella returned to her house from work and decided to begin making dinner for herself and Troy. She was eager to come home and see the man she couldn't stop thinking about. They had discussed about him being able to stay until he could get back on his feet and Gabriella was thrilled to have him here for some time. She could get use to more mornings and moments like they've had.
Once she was partially done with dinner she heard a knock on the front door and smiled softly knowing who it was. She quickly ran over to the door opening and locking eyes with the blue-eyed man. Before she knew it she had been pulled into a loving embrace and a passionate kiss.
The two stood there for moments holding their lips upon one another in a soft sweet kiss. Troy pulled away slightly to lean his head upon hers.
"I've missed you." He confessed.
Gabriella smiled widely gazing up into his eyes. "I've missed you too."
Gabriella helped Troy in with his belongings bringing up into the guest room. Once they walked in she noticed that she still hadn't decorate it like she wanted.
"This room looks so bare." she sighed. "I'm sorry Troy that you have to-"
Troy placed a finger on her lips. "Brie it's fine. I don't care."
Gabriella nodded sighing. "Okay, well dinner is done so lets go and eat I'm hungry."
Troy smiled linking hands and following her down to the dinning room area. As the two endured there food they began discussing about their day and Troy had told her about the conversation he had with his parents and how he found his belongings already packed.
"Brie can I ask you something?" Troy questioned.
Gabriella chewed back a piece of food and nodded. "Yes."
Troy inhaled a deep breathe before speaking. "I like you Brie...so much it's unbelievable. And I know there's a lot going on with myself and my brother and you and my brother but I can't help the way I feel about you Brie. And I have to admit that I've never felt this strong towards any female not even my ex wife. But I feel with you it's different Brie. You bring out the best in me.. and I just needed to know how you feel? About me? About us?"
Gabriella stared at Troy in awe, she felt this unknown swirl in her stomach that made her want to jump around all over the place. She bit her bottom lip before beginning. "I like you too Troy a lot. And like you said that you hadn't ever felt this way towards anyone neither have I, and I must say it kind of scares me because of all these strong emotions I have for you. Troy the way you make me feel is unexplainable. You give me this reviving feelings that's just insane. But you have to remember that I've just got out of a serious relationship and I'm still hurt Troy, I can't just jump into another relationship...I need time. And I hope you can understand that."
The moment those words came out her mouth Troy was grinning from ear to ear. He grabbed Gabriella's hand lacing their fingers together. "And I do. And Brie I will wait however long I have too in order for you to be ready."
Gabriella smiled and leaned over attaching their lips in a soft kiss. "Thank you Troy."
"No Brie. Thank you." He grinned reattaching their lips.
