Chapter 11
"Uh, Gabriella, I, uh" he said trying to find his words.
Gabriella looked at him bemused, "Troy?"
Troy shook his head to wipe away his thoughts. He looked over to Gabriella who had now scooted closer to him with her hand resting on his thigh and looking intently at him.
"Oh, I uh, don't have any clothes at your apartment. Um, do you think we could stay at my place tonight? Yes, Chad will be there, yes, he will most likely be in rare form, I mean when isn't he." he said with a little nervous laughter, but speaking the truth.
Gabriella smiled; relieved that's all it was. For a moment she thought something serious or bad had happened or was going to happen. She had genuinely felt like her heart had fallen into her butt. The idea of Troy leaving her life again ached like no other. They weren't official, but the love, connection, chemistry etc… was all there.
"That's fine, I'm off tomorrow and the next day, thank God," she said rolling her eyes and resting her head on the headrest with her eyes closed.
"What a day," she sighed. "There should definitely be some buzz when I go back on Monday, I still can't believe that kid's parents are suing the hospital."
Troy stiffened at the mention of the suit. This did not go unnoticed by Gabriella.
"Troy, are you sure you are okay?"
Troy looked away from the night road briefly to grab Gabriella's hand and interlace their fingers. He smiled, "Yeah Ella, everything is fine."
She smiled loving hearing Ella. She hadn't heard it in, well, over six years, "okay"
"So what do you want to do this weekend," he asked hoping that this change of subject would steer her away from any hospital talk.
"Um, I don't know. Let's just see where it takes us."
"Great!" he responded, giving her hand a squeeze.
"And if I know Sharpay, and I do, she will end up telling us where, when, what and how, so yeah, no point in making the effort" she said with a dry laugh.
Troy grinned, "And with the weather warming up and all the bikers to hit, "the possibilities are endless."
Gabriella giggled and opened her tired eyes that had drifted closed. She looked over at Troy and bit her bottom lip. Troy felt her staring at him, "what" he asked.
She just smiled, "I love you."
Troy mirrored her smile, "love you too."
Gabriella slid down in her seat and got comfortable. She let the sounds of the horns beeping; tires rolling and Troy's breathing ease her off into a slumber, all the while holding onto the man she always loved.
Troy and Gabriella walked up to the apartment hand in hand. Troy unlocked the door and went to turn the knob, but hesitated.
"Something wrong?"
"Um, I just have a weird feeling"
Gabriella scrunched her nose in confusion, "Troy, I'm sure its fine"
Troy wasn't so convinced. Chad was like a three year old with a crayon, a watchful eye is necessary. He hadn't seen Chad in a couple days and usually when that happened he would come home to food spread everywhere, T.V. blaring, some random CD on skip and Chad laid knocked out with one leg on and one leg off the couch hugging a basketball like it was a security blanket. Yes, Troy kept him in check.
Gabriella turned Troy around to her. "Troy," she said running her hand up and down his arm slowly and looking up into his eyes, "don't you want to continue what we started this morning?" Gabriella asked giving him a seductive smile, never breaking his gaze as she pressed her body against him.
Troy let out a groan and licked his lips. He bent down and kissed her lightly. At the touch of his lips Gabriella's arms found Troy's neck. Troy encircled her waist tightly with his strong arms and picked her up a few inches off the ground as their kiss deepened. He placed her back on the ground and lifted her scrub top so that he could feel the softness of her skin on his fingertips.
Gabriella pulled away with her eyes still shut. She opened them slowly and ran her tongue across her lips still taking in the feelings soaring through her veins. She traced his lips with her finger and looked at him briefly before leaning up on her toes and crashing her lips onto his. Troy pressed her up against the stiff wall, slowly lifting her top up so that he could cup her breast over her bra. He explored her mouth with is tongue sharing his want and love for her. Gabriella rubbed her thumbs up and down the base of his neck as she felt herself becoming more and more aroused. Troy scooted them closer to the door to which he turned the knob, never moving an inch or breaking his kiss from Gabriella. In one swift motion he slammed the door open and twirled Gabriella around so that she was now against the side wall in the foyer.
"Ahhh!"
Gabriella and Troy broke away from their heated kiss and looked towards the kitchen. Gabriella's face was red with excitement and her breathing was abnormal. Troy's pants had grown abnormally tight around his groin area and his face was full of aggravation.
"Chad, what the hell man"
"Oh, uh, I,I,I…."
Troy looked around the room, there was shit everywhere. No skipping CD and no blaring T.V., but there was shit everywhere. Clothes scattered about, lamps over turned, food everywhere.
"Um, you're home" Chad stammered.
"Uh, yeah, I live here" Troy said appalled.
"Chad, what's going on? What are you doing in the kitchen? I told you we get fined if the fire department comes here on more time."
Chad looked at him sheepishly.
"Where is your shirt Chad? Are you even wearing any clothes?"
"Um yes, but my shirt is over there" he said pointing to the mass of clothing that had formed over the past couple days.
"I know I'm going to regret asking this because I never get a justifiable excuse, but what the hell happen in here Chad? I'm gone 2 days and hurricane head up my ass runs through the apartment"
"Hey, I don't have my head up my ass. I've been busy. We should really get a maid you know?"
Troy rolled his eyes, "Chad, playing with "basketball" doesn't constitute busy"
Chad pouted at the mention of his "special spot's nickname" and then a little snickering came from an unknown origin.
"What was that" Gabriella finally piped in.
"What?" Troy asked, "nothing" Chad said simultaneously.
"Well, uh, yeah, um, I'll pick up, see you guys later" Chad said trying to get rid of them.
Troy looked him over, "Chad, what's going on?"
Chad cleared his throat, "uh, nothing, uh, nothing man"
Troy and Gabriella approached Chad.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?!" Chad exclaimed.
Troy and Gabriella's mouths dropped.
"Hey guys" Taylor said as she stood up from her hiding place with remnants of chocolate on her face.
"We had a food fight" Chad interjected, "uh, yeah, and I creamed Tay in the face with, uh"
"Your penis" Troy interjected pointing at the syrup that was dripping down his leg from underneath his boxers.
Chad and Taylor blushed as Gabriella bursted out laughing.
Troy shook his head and grabbed Gabriella's hand, "Chad, yeah, uh,I have no words for you" he said with a chuckle.
Troy pulled Gabriella to his room and went to shut the door, "Chad, pick up all this shit and Tay niiiiiiccce!"
Gabriella slapped Troy on the arm and pulled him into the room and shut the door.
Troy's arms wrapped around Gabriella's waist as soon as the bedroom door shut, "So where were we?"
Gabriella grinned, "I can't get that image out of my head," she said pointing towards the kitchen. I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you."
Troy let out a long sigh, "okay" he said sadly, very very sadly.
Gabriella kissed him and walked into the bathroom to shower and change.
"Fucking Chad and his fucking basketball, balls, whatever" he said under his breath.
"Hello" Gabriella said in a sleepy voice.
"Oh my God, are you really still in bed? It's freaking lovely outside."
"Sharpay?"
"No, Britney Spears?….wait no I don't like that, let's try that again"
"No, Hayden Panettiere?…oh, wait that's worse. Take three"
"No, Vanessa Hudgens?" ... yeah yeah, thats a good one."
Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Sharpay, what do you want" she said in aggravation.
"I thought we could all go to the Hamptons for the weekend. Daddy just bought a place a few months back."
Gabriella rubbed her eyes. That actually sounded nice. A weekend away, Evans style of course.
"Um, Shar, let me wake Troy and I'll call you back in a few"
"How long is a few? Like 3 minutes a few or like 10 minutes a few, because Gabs, we really need to get a move on."
Gabriella looked at the clock, it said 7:05am.
"Shar, shut up. It's barely 7 in the morning."
"Whatever Gabs, the Hamptons wait for no one."
"I'll call you in FIVE minutes"
"kay, chat you in a bit"
Gabriella hung up the phone.
"Gabriella nuzzled up to Troy and kissed his bicep, "Troy," she said kissing up his arm to his collar bone.
"Hmm?" he said with his eyes still closed.
"That was Sharpay?"
"What time is it?"
"A little pass seven"
Troy's face formed a smile, "did she loose her shepherd again?" he joked.
Gabriella giggled, "You're a funny one Bolton"
"Oh Bolton eh? You use to only call me Bolton when I'm in trouble or if you are feeling saucy." Troy laughed, "I hope it's saucy"
Gabriella rolled her eyes playfully, "Sharpay wants to know if we want to go to the Hamptons for the rest of weekend. Her dad bought a place a few months back."
"Sounds good to me" he said pulling her tighter to him.
"Soo…Saucy?"
Gabriella laughed, "when is it not." She said crawling on top of him.
Troy placed his hands on her legs and moved them upward; pushing her silk gown up further and further till it reached her waist. She leaned down and kissed him. When she pulled back he lifted the gown over her head. His hand traveled slowly up her bare back till they reached her shoulder blades. He pulled her to him so that their bare chests could rest upon one another. He rolled them over so that he was hovering over her. He ran his tongue against her lips, to which she opened and they let their tongues battle for dominance.
Gabriella ran her hand under his boxers playfully rubbing her thumb over the tip of his penis, occasionally letting her entire hand stroke his shaft.
Troy let out a moan as he brought his hands south and fingered her clit.
Just as things were getting heated up Gabriella's phone rang.
Troy and Gabriella threw their heads back in frustration.
Gabriella reached for the phone, "What"
Sharpay ignored her, "sooo?"
"Yes we are in." she said annoyed.
"Okay, I'll pick you and Troy up at your place in an hour"
Gabriella slammed the phone down and ran her hands through her hair.
"We are leaving in an hour and I need to go by my place and get clothes"
Troy let out a grunt, "ooookay"
She kissed him and rubbed his cheek, "rain check?"
"Oh yeah, and we sure as hell better get our own room…..with a lock"
Gabriella giggled, "I'll be sure to make that happen."
AN: The Hamptons will be interesting…..I promise!
