For those who don't know I own nothing. Enjoy all; I tried to make this a little naughty without being nasty, I hope it worked. Let me know what you think and if I should have them do it again. Sorry if it's a little short and naff but it's a filler for the next chapter. TinkT.xxx
Sharpay stood before Troy and Gabriella with a smile, jumping up and down on the spot.
"I knew it, I knew it" she giggled "You two are so hot together! See how right I was Gabriella"
Gabriella opened and closed her mouth several times, at a loss for words. What did she do now? Act like it had never happened? Pretend it was the first time it had happened? She looked to Troy to rescue her and he simply smiled, enjoying her obvious discomfort. A thought suddenly occurred to him as he looked at the glee on Sharpay's face.
"Sharpay, did you set this up?"
Sharpay tried to look innocent but failed miserably "I'm sorry guys but I had to make you see how good you could be together"
She didn't mention the fact she had already seen them.
Troy looked at the worried expression on Gabriella's face and decided to put her out of her misery. He slung an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his side.
"You were right Shar" he said but with a gentle smile for Gabriella, who beamed under his scrutiny and relaxed against him.
"Well my work here is done" she said with a little curtsey and disappeared down the stairs.
"I'm sorry Troy, I didn't mean to make you angry" she said quietly.
Troy looked into her eyes "I know you didn't 'Brie" he replied "I just got so mad when I thought you were hiding us"
"Is there an us?"
Troy leant forward and kissed her softly, sweetly, making her heart race.
"What do you think?" he asked against her mouth and he felt, rather than saw her smile.
"Shouldn't we get back to the party, won't they be missing us?"
This time Troy smiled and as he captured her lips with his, he pulled her back into the darkness of the cupboard, closing the door after them.
Gabriella sighed as Troy kissed his way around her throat, his hands stroking up and down her back. He needed to touch her bare skin, to feel her softness against him, carefully so as not to scare her, he slipped his hands under the back of her t-shirt. Gabriella moaned as she felt his hands stroking up her spine and wanted to touch him too. Slowly she moved her hands from around his neck and slid them down his back, burrowing under his clothes. Tracing the skin above his belt with her fingers she heard him groan her name, as his mouth returned hers. Matching her touch for touch, Troy slid his fingers around her body and he skimmed the soft skin of her stomach, above her trousers, before moving up to stroke the delicate lace on the underside of her bra.
She jumped with a squeak into his mouth. Troy pulled away and rested his forehead against hers, his breathing deep and heavy.
"It's ok Gabriella, we can stop" he whispered
Gabriella shook her head "I just got a shock, that's all. I like it when you touch me"
Her husky admission made the blood flow heavily to his hardness and he sought her mouth with his own, hands delving under her shirt. Gabriella shuddered as she felt his light touch against her bra. Troy could feel the rapid beat of her heart as he cupped her fullness through her bra, causing her nipples to harden. He slid his other hand down her back and palmed her bottom, pulling her against his hardness which throbbed in response. She drew in a quick startled breath as she felt the effect she was having on him.
Troy ran this thumb over her sensitive nipple and Gabriella moaned at the acute sensations that flooded her body. She felt light headed, out of control, needing more from Troy, understanding how people could get carried away. Finally the need for oxygen became too much and she pulled away from him, panting. Troy looked at her, his eyes heavy with desire but knew they could go no further tonight.
"We should go back Gabriella" he said planting a soft kiss against her forehead, and she nodded knowing he was right. If they stayed there, she couldn't be sure things wouldn't go further; she knew Troy wasn't like Cody, he would never force her but she may not be able to say no. Troy took her hand and opened the door onto the landing. Together they made their way downstairs.
Taylor found Chad in the kitchen talking with Zeke and Sharpay.
"Any you guys seen Gabi?" she asked
Sharpay giggled "I
think I saw her with Troy"
Chad and Taylor exchanged puzzled
looks "My lips are sealed" said Sharpay "Unlike Troy and
Gabriella's"
"What about Troy and Gabriella?" asked Troy as they walked into the kitchen hand in hand.
Zeke stared, Chad grinned and Taylor looked at Troy.
"Took you long enough" she said to Troy, who had the decency to look sheepish.
"Yeah Taylor, I'm sorry I called you a nerd" he said rubbing the back of his neck, uncomfortable.
"Well that's okay, I'm sorry I called you a big jerk"
Gabriella giggled at the thought of Troy and Taylor arguing.
"So are you two together?" Sharpay asked
"We're hanging out" Troy confirmed, giving her hand a little squeeze.
Gabriella felt her heart sink a little; he still made them sound as though they were just friends, although he obviously wasn't bothered about their friends knowing. The group left the kitchen and made themselves comfortable in the living room, to watch the movies. Chad and Taylor snuggled up on one of the many sofas, Zeke and Sharpay took the other and Troy and Gabriella sat on the floor. Troy leant against the sofa and Gabriella sat between his legs, her back against his chest, his arms resting comfortably around her middle. As the movie played Troy fiddled absentmindedly with the hem on Gabriella's t-shirt, stroked her arms or played with her fingers, Gabriella rested her head against his chest, feeling his heart under her cheek. She couldn't believe how aware she was of him, her senses tingling, from his smell, or the touch of his chin on top of her head. She couldn't wait to be alone with him again, desperate to feel out of control. Troy was happier than he had been for a long time and although they were taking things slowly he was satisfied. When he'd flirted with Sharpay and agreed to meet her, it was just to try and forget about Gabriella, his heart wasn't really in it. He'd been so glad when Gabriella had turned up in that linen cupboard and he had the chance to clear the air between them, now all he had to do was figure out what was going to happen when they got back to school.
Troy and Gabriella spent the rest of the vacation together, but there were no more hot and heavy sessions between them. Gabriella wondered if it was because they would soon be going back to school and he was trying to break it to her gently. But when she really thought about it didn't seem right, he was just the same person with her, and all that was missing was the make out sessions. They talked about everything under the sun, except their future. Gabriella decided she was defiantly going to audition for the musicale and tried to persuade Troy to join her but he refused.
On their last night together they went to the movies and for some dinner. Gabriella couldn't relax; she didn't know what was going to happen between them. Troy noticed she was withdrawn and seemed to be pulling away from him. He wondered if maybe she was having second thoughts about them and decided not to press the issue. They sat in the car, in front of Gabi's house in tense silence.
"So" Troy began "back to school tomorrow, bummer"
Gabi nodded "I'm not looking forward to it"
"Will I maybe see you about?" he asked cautiously, not wanting to push her into anything she didn't want.
"Sure" she replied think he was just being friendly rather than making a definite date.
He smiled before kissing her briefly on the lips and Gabi closed her eyes committing it to memory.
"Bye Gabriella"
"Goodbye Troy" she said softly and climbed out of the door, tears pooling in her eyes.
