Chapter 9

He nodded. "Well, I don't want to live with my parents anymore and I bought my own place and I was wondering if you wanted to move in with me. That way you wouldn't have to worry about rent until you get a job and we'll be together all the time and don't worry I'm not planning a mistake like in high school." He explained, all in one breath.

Gabriella stared at the key then back at Troy. "I don't know Troy."

Troy stared into her beautiful brown eyes. "Please? You're the only one who understands anything that's happened in my life. Losing my mum, Andrea...everything. Please, Brie? I need you."

Gabriella nodded timidly. "Okay." She whispered. "I'll move in with you."

Troy quickly embraced her and stroked her hair softly. He pulled back slightly and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Gabriella Anne Montez. Have I ever told you that?"

Gabriella looked down sadly. "Never." She whispered.

Troy lifted her chin gently with his fingers and looked into her eyes. "Well, Miss Montez, I love you with everything I am." He then surprised her by picking her up by her waist and spinning her around.

She squealed in happiness and wrapped her legs around his torso. She brough her head and kissed him passionately, her hand resting firmly on the side of his neck. They stopped spinning and she pulled back. "I love you too."

Troy grinned at her. "You are truly amazing, you know that?"

Gabriella shrugged, her arms and legs still secured around his body. "I've been told." She glanced at her watch and raised her eyebrows. "You need your medication."

Troy groaned. "Brie, they're like horse medicine! They're horrible."

"Do you want to be in the hospital and leave me here, all alone-" Gabriella started guilt tripping him.

"Okay, okay. Enough of the guilt trip. I get enough of that from dad." He moaned as he carried her into the house. "Guys, Brie and I need to go to my place so I can have my medication and we need to sort some arrangements out." He shared a secret smile with Gabriella as her feet touched the floor.

Gabriella grinned at her friends. "Yeah, we'll tell you about it later."

"We've gotta jet. See you soon." Troy grasped her hand and led her out to his very expensive, black sports convertible. He opened the door for her and spoke in and English accent. "After you, milady."

Gabriella gracefully got in and blushed and copied him. "Why thank you kind sir."

He shut the door and jogged around to the other side before getting in. He rested his hands on the wheel and turned to Gabriella. "I really meant what I said before. About everything."

Gabriella stroked his hand softly and smiled. "I know. And I meant it too."

Troy looked up and kissed her lips softly. He pulled back and started the engine, starting his way to his new house which Gabriella had yet to see. "So, when are you getting a new job?"

Gabriella had her elbow on the window and the soft breeze was causing her beautiful curls to flit about freely. "I don't know. As soon as one's available, I guess."

"You know, if you want, I could probably find you one. I mean, you're well known in New Mexico and definitely Albuquerque and no one ever says no to Troy Bolton." He said proudly.

Gabriella shook her head. "And the award for most modest goes to Troy Bolton!"

Troy smirked and pulled up outside a large house that had been painted white. "Maybe but you love me." He grinned and got out of the car. He opened Gabriella's door and she stepped out.

She smiled, gazing up at the beautiful house before her. She yelped softly when she was lifted up bridal style by Troy and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. "What are you doing?" She giggled.

Troy shrugged as he locked his car. "Doing this the proper way. Even if we aren't married." He walked towards his house and opened the door, with some difficulty, but he managed it.

Gabriella gasped in wonder at the inside. She thought back to her favourite sci-fi TV series, Doctor Who. The house reminded her so much of the TARDIS, the Doctor's time machine. "It's bigger on the inside." She whispered.

Troy smiled at her innocence. He knew about her obsession with the TV programmed and chuckled when she quoted it. "Just like the TARDIS."

Gabriella blushed and buried her face into his chest as she slipped from his arms. "Are you still sure about this. This house is amazing!"

Troy rolled his eyes as he walked into the kitchen, reaching into a cupboard for his pills and a glass which he filled with water. "Who better to share this house with other than my girlfriend who I love with all of my heart?" He slipped the pill into his mouth and downed the water, forcing it down his throat.

Gabriella took a deep breath, taking in the smell of her new home. "This is amazing." She complimented.

Troy washed the glass off and dried it, replacing it in the cupboard. "Being a basketball superstar has it's advantages."

Gabriella smiled softly at her. "You will be able to play, I promise. Even if it means leaving me behind." She whispered quietly.

Troy choked on the air had just breathed in and looked at her with bewilderment. He wrapped her in his arms and breathed in her scent: a mix of citrus shampoo and impulse tease perfume. He chuckled slightly. Still her favourite. He pulled back and caressed her cheek. "Brie, listen to me, if I have to leave because of basketball, I'm taking you with me." She opened her mouth to speak so he continued. "And I know what you're going to say. 'I love Albuquerque and I'm not leaving'. So, we won't leave. I can take over my dad's old job."

Gabriella nodded quietly. "But, you have the chance for a better life, I-"

"Will you listen to yourself? I don't car about money, or fame, or even my sweet, beautiful car because you're back in my life. What could be better than that? You have to believe me when I say that you are my life. I know we've only been together for a week but it feels like a life time." He then pressed his mouth hungrily onto her own.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, running her small hands through his hair. She pulled back breathlessly and nodded quietly. "I have one favour to ask, Troy. But, it's kind of embarrassing."

"Anything."

Gabriella took a deep breath, stood on tip toes so she reached his ear and whispered four words she'd been longing to say to Troy for a long while. "Make love to me."

Troy looked at her innocent face that was a mixture of fear and excitement. He kissed her forehead. "We don't have to."

Gabriella nodded her head slowly. "I do. Please Troy? I need you to have my virginity."

He smiled at her before kissing her passionately and she wrapped her legs around his waist while he stumbled up the stares towards the bedroom.
