Chapter 10 – Caught in the Act
Everyone had decided to do their own thing today. It was the last day before Ryan and Gabriella would be leaving and the gang hadn't thought of anything that would work in getting Troy and Gabriella together as well as Troy and Gabriella telling them all to stop interfering because they were already seeing people secretly.
Flashback
The morning after the set up Troy and Gabriella noticed all the gang's cars were at Sharpay's and decided that they were going to pay all their friends a nice little visit.
"Ready?" Troy asked as Gabriella nodded and the two walked over to Sharpay's.
"Hey what are you two doing here?" Zeke asked nervously opening the door as Troy gave him a look.
"Can we come in?" Gabriella asked noticing the look on Troy's face.
"Sure. Everyone is in the main room." Gabriella pulled Troy into the house before he could say anything. Troy and Gabriella stood outside the door listening to them for a few minutes.
"Was there any sign this morning of Troy and Gabriella together as a couple?" Chad asked.
"No. We have come up with the conclusion that since we have seen no movement come from over there, there might be still a chance they have gotten together and are in bed at the minute." Sharpay answered as Troy and Gabriella quietly opened the door.
"And that conclusion is so off and you are all dead." Troy announced as everyone looked back in surprise.
"Uhm... Hey Troy. Nice morning." Jason said as Troy glared at him.
"Guys we are not even getting into this whole idea. We know you set us up last night and we need to tell you something." Gabriella started. "Ryan sweetie you know those days that I would say I went out for a walk because I needed time?" Ryan nodded. "I wasn't really going on walks. I met someone back in New York and that was the only times we could see each other because he knew I was really busy and he was fine with that." Ryan looked at Gabriella in shock. Of course Troy knew Gabriella was lying because she told him whenever she needed time she would just go and sit in the playground and just watch little ones around her play to take her mind off things.
"You met someone?" Ryan asked.
"Someone who I love very much and is THE one." Ryan, Sharpay and everyone else in the room apart from Troy and Gabriella paled.
"So you see guys you might want to give it up trying to get us together since I have someone else too." Sharpay went to say something. "No Sharpay you don't know her." Troy continued.
"How come neither one of you told us earlier?" Ryan asked as Gabriella shrugged.
"We wanted to keep our relationships on the down low but when you kept saying things we knew we had to tell you." Gabriella finished as all the others knew they had no choice but to give up seeing how happy Troy and Gabriella looked when they spoke about their 'other halves'.
End Flashback
Ryan was going to be spending the day with his parents, who were just as heartbroken as Sharpay when they found out, Zeke, Sharpay and his nieces which meant Gabriella was free to spend the day with Troy. At the moment the two were just in bed talking.
"So Miss Montez how have you found your school reunion?" Troy asked playfully.
"I would have to say it's only been ok. I mean the past few days' entertainment hasn't been that great and neither has the company I had." Gabriella answered smirking.
"Right that's it." Troy started tickling Gabriella while climbing back on top of her and kissing her.
Ryan, Sharpay and Zeke were all on their own in the living room since Mr & Mrs Evans were outside in the back talking.
"Is it me or do you feel we should be making the most of Gabi and Ryan's last day here?" Sharpay asked Zeke right in front of Ryan.
"Yeah we should. It's not even like we are all together." Just as Zeke finished talking the doorbell went.
"I'll get it." Sharpay walked over to the door and smiled as she opened the door.
"Hey what are you doing here?" Sharpay asked as Taylor, Chad, Jason and Kelsi plus all their kids walked in.
"We were all bored and we thought we would come see what you were up to." Kelsi explained as Jason and Chad walked off to Ryan and Zeke.
"Oh ok hey why don't we all head over to Troy's so we can all be together and that way we can raid all Troy's stuff instead of ours." Sharpay suggested as the girls agreed and called the guys. All the kids were going to stay with Mr & Mrs Evans. Walking over, Sharpay rang the doorbell while they waited for an answer.
Troy and Gabriella were in the middle of a heated make out session when the doorbell went. Gabriella pulled back and looked at Troy.
"You should get that." She whispered as he pulled her back into a kiss.
"It's probably just some salesperson so they can get lost." Gabriella giggled as the two went back to their own world. Troy's every touch causing her to shiver. Troy was the only one who could ever do that to her.
Sharpay gave Ryan a confused look as they stood outside Troy's waiting for someone to answer and let them in.
"Did Gabriella say they were going out?" he shook his head. "Right Mr Bolton if you think you can ignore us think again." Sharpay pulled her key out and slipped it in and locked the door open.
"Where are they?" Chad asked looking around and not seeing anyone. Just then Ryan heard a very familiar giggle. He started walking up stairs.
"Ryan what you doing?" Kelsi asked.
"I think I found someone." The others followed him as Ryan listened to the giggle again and went straight to the room where it came from. Carefully opening the door, Ryan looked on in amusement at the sight as everyone else looked in and smirked. "Nurse Gabriella I don't think that's how you treat patients friends." Gabriella pushed Troy off her quickly and pulled the sheet over her before looking towards the door to see 7 very amused faces.
"OMG! I can't believe you two are cheating on your boyfriend and girlfriend. I may think you belong together but that is just so wrong!" Chad exclaimed as Taylor hit him round the head and shook hers at the stupidness in him. Everyone else had figured that Troy and Gabriella didn't really have anyone else but it was just a ploy to get the others to leave them alone.
"Sharpay I want that key back." Troy stated seeing her face being the most amused.
"And you two told us there was nothing going on between you and that you didn't feel anything for each other. I'd love to see you if you actually did like each other." Sharpay pointed out as Gabriella pulled the pillow over her embarrassed face.
"Guys get out while we get dressed." Troy ordered as they all left. "Ok maybe answering the door may have saved us from that." Gabriella nodded as Troy pulled the pillow off her face to see her smiling.
As soon as Troy and Gabriella got downstairs they saw everyone looking at them.
"You two sit now and explain." Sharpay demanded pointing her finger to a chair in the room. Troy sat down with Gabriella sitting in his lap.
"What do you want to know then?" Troy asked as Gabriella leaned against him.
"When did it happen? How did happen? What has happened?" Sharpay told him excitedly. Troy noticed Gabriella wasn't about to answer so he knew he had too.
"A few days ago the night of the reunion to be exact. It just happened really and I don't understand what you want to know from that last sentence." Troy explained as Ryan smiled seeing how happy Gabriella looked in Troy's arms.
"I want to know if you have just been quite friendly dating where you hug and kiss the cheek or from the display upstairs are you two dating seriously with everything in a relationship?" Sharpay explained difficulty trying to find the right words to use.
"I'm not even going to answer that because you know that already."Troy told her. For the next hour, the two of them answered questions about what they had done before going on to talk about just about anything that came to mind.
That evening Troy and Gabriella were just lying awake in bed trying to forget everything that would be happening the next day.
"So I'm going back to New York tomorrow." Gabriella started bringing up the conversation she was dreading.
"I wish you weren't. I'm going to miss waking up next to you." Troy told her as she smiled.
"I'm going to miss this all too. How will we make this work Troy?" Gabriella asked nervously knowing already she didn't want to hear the answer.
"I don't know. I guess I want us to not give up like last time but I don't know how it will work." Gabriella sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I don't want this to end either because I feel so happy at the minute but I think I know we have to break up because I have to take care of Ryan and you have your life down here. Maybe we can be together finally but now isn't the best time. I really don't want to do this Troy." Gabriella admitted.
"I know but it's what's best at the minute for us and Ryan. Who knows maybe one day we will meet up again and the circumstances and everything will be better and we can give us another shot then when we have nothing else to be worrying about. I just want you to know though I will wait for you to be ready and for us to be able to get together and no matter what if you need me to get on a plane to come help you out with Ryan or you need to have a good cry to someone I will always be here. Just remember that. I love you." Troy agreed reassuring her.
"I love you too Troy Bolton and I promise we will be together too eventually." Troy smiled kissing her on the lips before Gabriella sighed against him before falling asleep on his chest.
A/N: Please don't kill me for doing that but I had to. Things will happen in the next chapter and don't worry this isn't going the same way as 'Kyle Bolton' for those reading that! Please review! Thanks!
