CHAPTER11
Gabi came round from her deep sleep to find Troy's arms across her waist as she faced away from him.
He was spooning her from behind and Gabi could feel his soft breath against her ear.
She wriggled round in the bed so she was facing him. She gently stroked his hair away from his face so she could study his faintly freckled nose, his high cheekbones and the tiny dent in his chin.
His eyebrows were thick and he looked different as he slept; a small indention his forehead where his brows were drawn together.
Gabi let her hand fall to his face and leaned forward to kiss him on the lips in the hope to wake him. It was early but she had to sneak him out yet.
Troy's lips moved into a smile as he felt Gabi's fingers trace his mouth.
He opened his eyes slowly, wanting to cherish the sensations coursing through him from her delicate touch.
He was conscious that he must stink of alcohol, or worse, puke.
"Do you have an en-suite?" he asked
Gabi wasn't sure what to say. That wasn't exactly what she was expecting to hear.
"Yes, it's through there" she pointed to a door across the room.
"Don't move" he said, getting up groggily and moving to the bathroom slowly.
He was still shirtless and when he flopped back into bed, he smelt minty.
"Now, where was I?" he said huskily, framing her face with his hand.
Gabi didn't know where to put her hands first. She all but died when his lips met hers, probing in a now-familiar way.
She felt her body pinging with desire as Troy's tongue plunged deep into her mouth and he tasted faintly of toothpaste.
Her hands went to his naked chest and she gently touched his hard muscles.
Troy groaned into Gabi's mouth as he felt his body harden at her touch.
He ran his hands up her sides, his thumbs skimming the underside of her breasts. Gabi arched and felt Troy's hard arousal against the inside of her thigh.
She gasped a little, but met his gaze, her eyes so full of wonder it almost undid him there and then.
"Touch me" she whispered, moving a little to show her meaning.
Troy's eyes darkened as he gently cupped her breasts. He butterflied kisses across her collarbone and finally reached that sensitive spot on her neck. When he found it, she squirmed against him and Gabi felt a hot wetness fall between her thighs.
"Troy…" she murmured against his hair, clinging to him and he leaned into her a little, pressing his heated and hard groin into hers.
Suddenly Gabi's phone alarm went off and she jumped a mile "OHMYGOSH!" she panicked.
"It's just your phone" Troy smiled gently against her hair, cradling her to him preciously.
She was dazed for a moment, after being tangled in passion with Troy.
"We have to go, Troy, like now." She said softly, moving away from him.
"Come on, just one more minute" he begged
"No! My mom thinks you're such a nice boy. You don't want to ruin that do you?" she asked as she moved and sat on the edge of her bed.
"Who says I'm not a nice boy?" he asked, mock offended
Gabi looked into his lap with an arched brow.
"Hey, that's all you're doing. I had nothing to do with it" he quipped with a grin.
Gabi liked the feeling of power it gave her to know she turned him on. She'd spent most of her school life afraid of making out and Troy was teaching her something she'd never experienced before- intimacy.
Gabi changed in her bathroom, putting on an old denim dungaree all-in-one and a vest with her hair scooped into a crazy bun.
Troy was topless on her bed and way too inviting so she threw him one of Toby's tops from her bottom drawer, which she had used to paint her room so it was covered in paint splodges. He looked at it with a frown and pulled it on, Gabi spitting air through her lips as she realized her brother was two sizes smaller than Troy. He looked like he was wearing a belly top.
He looked at her with a rueful grin as if to say "You dare laugh at me…"
She plastered on a straight face. "Perfect" she said with a badly hidden smirk.
She took his hand as she headed out into the hallway, creeping down the stairs.
Troy had never seen her look more beautiful than she did right now. He had one hell of a hangover but his wake up call had been well worth the pain.
Last to bottom step, Gabi paused as she sneezed, then carried on to the bottom.
"Oh Gabi, you're up early." Her mother called as she came through the living room, not initially seeing Troy.
Gabi froze as her mother looked at them in surprise "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had company" she said
Gabi wasn't sure if she were mad. She couldn't tell.
"Have you been here all night?" she asked Troy, noting his badly fitting top and recognizing it as one of Toby's.
He looked guilty. So did Gabi. He squeezed Gabi's hand in a show of support.
"Mom, nothing happened, I promise you" Gabi said, thinking except some hot kisses but that doesn't count.
"Gabi, you know the rules, no boys sleeping over" she said shortly "I think you should go Troy. I don't think you should come round again" Mrs. Montez said firmly
"Mom!" Gabi opened her mouth in shock
Troy looked at Mrs. Montez feeling like he had ruined everything. If he hadn't got drunk then Gabi wouldn't have got into trouble like this. And he was back at being the boy who was trouble. Gabi deserved so much more.
"Gabi, we'll talk about your punishment in a moment." She said calmly. "Say goodbye to Troy" she instructed.
Geez her mom was embarrassing. Gabi trailed out onto the porch with Troy "I am so sorry…" she began
"Hey, none of this is your fault" he said softly, framing her face with his hands as he kissed her forehead "I'll see you at school, okay?"
Her huge brown eyes looked into his, still unsure of his feelings for her, still begging him to re-assure her. "Okay" she agreed
He turned halfway down the path "Gabriella Montez!" he shouted, and she turned, surprised. Her mom stood in the doorway with her arms folded "You are amazing" he grinned then turned and walked away.
Gabi beamed in pleasure as a warm feeling enveloped her.
"That's nice of him." Mrs. Montez said "Shame you won't be seeing him again" she commented.
"Mom you said yourself he's a nice boy!" she argued
"Until I find him sneaking out of your bedroom Gabriella. I'm not stupid, I know what you two get up to"
Gabi blushed. Gee, she really hoped not.
"Mom, seriously I am sixteen years old. I'm still going to see him at school" she reasoned
"That's fine. But no more dance lessons. No more parties" she said sternly.
"If you ruin things with Troy, I will NEVER forgive you" she muttered, running up to her room.
