Thanks for the reviews!
Small AN: Gabriella isn't and will not get pregnant in this story. I've already finished writing it and it is 17 chapters! Anyway...there are no Troyella babies!
"God, I hate marriage." Troy mumbled to Chad, taking a gulp of beer as he sat in his basement. Gabriella was upstairs with Sharpay, watching 'Sweet Home Alabama' and giving each other manicures.
"Dude, you married Gabriella. Wasn't that your dream for like…ever?" They were watching some random football game and yelling at things randomly between their conversations. He let out a long deep breath.
"This totally isn't what I wanted. I mean she forces me to fix her breakfast. She hardly has sex with me anymore. She redid my house and put tampons next to my shaving cream. She is so whiny and shit." He took another gulp of beer. He never liked beer until recently when Gabriella kept buying it. "I have only been married a week and a half and I already want to blow my brains out."
"Well, man, sorry. I'm getting TONS of action thanks to your woman. I'm telling you Sharpay is oh so amazing at sex." Troy groaned,
"Dude, I don't care. I don't want to hear about your action. I don't know…I think Gabriella is hiding something. You know how in high school she was totally against PDA….now she won't keep her hands off me in public. She's so damn clingy." They yelled at the TV quickly as their team scored and then started talking again.
"Sorry man…Sharpay is so fucking hot." Troy slapped his friend's arm.
"You know what the worst thing about this marriage is?" Chad had no idea, nor did he care. He was just letting his friend talk it all out. Chad had done the same thing to him TONS of times. Troy hardly talked about his feelings. He liked to keep them in.
"No sex?"
"She won't let me say 'I love you.' She like cuts me off when I try. I've tried like 100 times and she just like kisses me or something. It's like she doesn't want me to." He scratched his head. He was confused. He had no idea what was going on with her. Normally he was the only one that understood her, now he was the only one that didn't.
"I don't know…just learn to love the new Gabriella and maybe you won't want to blow your brains out." Troy was shocked; his friend actually had good advice.
"Sharpay, we have a problem." Gabriella said as the movie ended. "A major problem." Sharpay looked up wondering what the major problem was.
"What?" Gabriella's head was filling with thoughts. She was going back to her old ways. She wanted to lie in his arms for hours. She wanted him to whisper in her ear and she didn't want to take him for granted anymore.
"I…can't do this anymore. Sharpay, I don't want to do 'the article' anymore. I am just so confused." Sharpay raised an eyebrow,
"You are giving up? Gabriella you've come so far and he's so close to signing the papers. Sure, I'd love to see some Troyella babies but…you wanted me to make sure that you didn't fail at this. You are confused." Gabriella knew her blonde friend was right. Every time Gabriella closed her eyes she could only see that night when he said those things to her. She could only remember his dark grey eyes staring her down and insulting her.
Then she remembers that last night she had gotten chills when he admitted to her that he loved her.
"You are right. So, why am I hearing about you and Mr. Danforth hooking up?" She tilted her head to the side and smirked,
"We are. Girl, believe me, you aren't the only one hooking up. I am totally getting some of that man." Gabriella giggled and blew on her red fingernails. They were almost dry and they actually looked good. She hadn't done this in a really long time. Normally she would run by a nail place and get them done but now she had time to chill.
"Yeah but…" The girls looked over and saw their men already upstairs, each with an empty beer bottle in one hand. Gabriella smiled flirtatiously. He had that messed up hair and he had gotten it by only running his hand through it.
"Hey, ladies." Chad said throwing the bottle into the trash can. Troy dumped the rest of his in the trash and then threw it away. Chad smirked.
"Well, Sharpay and I are going to head out to my house. Thanks for having us for dinner and stuff." Troy shook his head and stood next to his wife. They were the perfect height for her. He wasn't freakishly taller than her and he wasn't shorter than her. Troy called from the door to them,
"You are welcome...see you later Sharpay." Gabriella giggled,
"Name the babies after us!"
"Shut up Gabster."
"That was fun." Gabriella said as the two sat down on the couch after seeing their friends out the door. "I mean, having a guys' night/ girls' night. It was really fun." He wrapped and arm around her shoulder and she leaned into him. They were snuggling and Gabriella never felt more comfortable. The plan was the furthest thing from her mind. She just wanted to be near him.
"Yeah, I'm tired though." It was nine o' clock on a Saturday night and they could sleep in tomorrow. "I think I'm going to head to bed." She stood up and followed him. She was totally tired.
"I'll go with you."
Gabriella woke up at midnight bawling. She was in a cold sweat and just crying her eyes out. She had a horrible dream and had woken up so quickly that she had even accidentally knocked over the lap on the bedside table.
Troy jumped up quickly, to the crash and she sound of her sobs. He was shocked and confused due to the fact that he had woken up that odd way. He looked over at her and wondered exactly what had happened. Her brown eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, confused and scared tears.
"What's wrong?" He whispered, sitting up to her level. He was worried. He couldn't remember a time that she really ever had nightmares. She'd have them before important tests and after she'd have something traumatic happen…but never randomly like this.
"I…I…was…you…and…then…the…dead." She wasn't making any sense in her stuttering and all he could catch were mumbles and tears. He tilted his head,
"Baby, you've got to calm down." She was acting like a lost child in a big mall. She began taking deep breaths, calming as she did. She could hardly remember any of her dreams, but she knew it was awful.
"Sorry….it was just an awful dream." She was embarrassed that she had cried over a stupid dream. However, when he sat up and wiped her tears with his thumb, she suddenly felt more comfortable in her skin.
"Hey, it's ok. Everyone has bad dreams. It's not like you cried on purpose. I don't think you are a baby or anything." She let out a deep breath and frowned,
"Yeah, I know, it's weird. I think I'm going to make some coffee or something…to cool down." As she started to stand up, he grabbed her arm and looked at her with caring eyes,
"Stay here." She suddenly relaxed in his arms, longing for his touch. She felt safe. She knew that if she was with him that nothing would happen to her. If she was in his arms that everything would be ok. She whispered,
"I…I love you." She hadn't meant to say it out loud, but it came out of her mouth like it wasn't her. Although she didn't mean to say it, she still meant it.
He felt his heart beat quicken and he felt like a teenager again. He wanted to jump up and down. He finally heard what he wanted. He finally heard what he needed to perfect his life.
"I love you too, El."
Yeah, as alot of you guessed...she loves him. I know it was kind of expected but...she does. I mean come on, she's Gabriella and he's Troy...how can they NOT love each other?
Depending on how many reviews I get, I'll probably update Friday or Saturday.
So...if it is 17 chapters...that means that there are 6 chapters left.
