Chapter 13- Lust

A few weeks have passed and the camp was coming to an end. It was now week five of this Troubled Teens Program. They had just two more weeks to share with each other until they return to their normal lives again.

Troy made progress here and there after the fight. He listened to Gabriella when she told him that nobody would ever be worth a fight. Every time he saw that ugly, backstabbing face of Chad's, he still felt as angry as hell. But he listened to Gabriella, because nobody would ever be worth more than her words.

Gabriella hadn't forgiven Sharpay yet. She wasn't ready. They talked… only when it was necessary. They acted like cold roommates towards each other. But she stopped using drugs. And her withdrawals were getting better.

And to Troy, Chad was still some bastard that messed with Gabriella. But there was one thing that Troy had been dying to find out about more than anything in the world. He wanted to know if Gabriella wanted to be official. Because it just wasn't all too normal for him to love a girl with such a passion but they were never official. Even though, he might never see Gabriella ever again, or maybe for a while… a really long while, he still needed an answer. He wished that these last two weeks could be different.

Mr. Garth informed them that one more week of recovery will be necessary if they want to earn a little reward for the last week. He also appreciated all the hard work and hard times they've been through. After all, Mr. Garth couldn't always be so cold.

For one Sunday during this camp, the teens actually got a break from things. It was sort of like their free day. They can go anywhere they'd like only if it was walking distance. Some of them went to see a movie, over at a movie theater close by, or church since some of them hadn't been there for quite a long time. While most of them just wandered around the campus with some of their newly encountered friends.

Sharpay wasn't dumb, so she knew that Gabriella just wouldn't forgive her no matter what. She didn't want to be stupefied by the fact, so she decided to have a good time and went out to see a couple movies with Chad and some other people. She didn't want to be running into Troy and Gabriella the entire day feeling awkward like every other day.

Gabriella just sat in her dorm room, stuffing those white headphones into her ear covered in three earrings on each ear. Three different studs along the earlobe. She was bored. She never knew that doing all this crap during this camp actually made her days. And now, her hands were free and yet, she didn't feel too happy. She wasn't sad either. She was just… thinking. As she listened to the lyrics to some of her songs intently, she couldn't help but feel connections to her life.

I don't know but, I think I maybe
Fallin' for you.
Dropping so quickly,
Maybe I should… keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I know you better.
I am trying,
Not to tell you

She was sure that she was falling for Troy. She was as sure as she could ever be. She was falling into the ocean with the electric blue water. Those breathtaking eyes, hair, and eyes. She couldn't resist him. Every time she thought about him, it was either something dirty or that gorgeous face of his. She quickly skipped this song before it got to any other parts that she could relate to. Dirty thoughts were rushing up into her head.

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day,
It's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

This was a bad song for today since she still had some dirty thoughts about Troy in her head. Although she loved Vanessa Carlton, she didn't want to be reminded about her first time. She gave that to the wrong person at the wrong place, and wrong time. She regretted everything about it. She didn't even remember who the guy was. It was at some lame party that her friends threw, and it was the amount of weed, and alcohol that was consumed that resulted in sex that she hardly remembered. All she remembered was that she woke up at her friends' house naked, no one beside her, and with a little bit of blood underneath her. That was when she knew that she had lost her virginity to someone she didn't even know, with no protection, and while drunk. She did feel pain but she couldn't remember any pleasure during it at all. She also earned herself a whole month of anxiety because of the thought of being pregnant after unprotected sex with someone she didn't even know of. Gabriella felt so naïve to lose her virginity at fifteen, and not even knowing who it was or how sex was suppose to feel.

Her second time was with this stupid jerk that used her, but she actually experienced how it was suppose to feel like the second time.

But ever since her first and second time, she had hated commitment. Because she had glued to her mind that guys hated commitments and that commitment to a relationship was failure because that meant a broken heart afterwards.

But Troy Bolton was way too hard to resist. She needed to do something. She needed to give him what he deserved. What he wanted, and what she failed to give him before. Because she knew that he deserved it too much… so much more than her own selfishness.

Why was she selfish? She was selfish for thinking that all guys hated commitments. She was wrong and she was too conceited to think about what Troy wanted. He wanted commitment. He was the guy that wanted commitment. Not just her body, or as a screw toy.

Turning off her blue iPod, and setting it down, she applied some mascara and lip gloss on before exiting her dormitory.

Meanwhile, Troy was getting ready to visit Gabriella at her dorm room. They still weren't allowed to go to the opposite gender's dorm sections even on their free day. But Troy wanted to sneak over to the other side to see that beautiful brunette he desperately wanted to declare his. Before he could exit his dorm room, a knock boomed through the wooden door. He groaned, expecting that Chad might be back already. He opened the door, but shocked to find Gabriella in a navy blue halter-top, and shorts.

"Hey, Gabi." He smiled as he met her eyes.

"Troy…" She bit her bottom lip nervously. "Can we talk?"

Troy felt uneasy all of a sudden. Talk? What did she want to talk about? "Sure, do you want to come in?"

Gabriella nodded and welcomed herself in. She reeked in the aroma as she stepped farther in the dorm. The soothing smell of Troy's cologne.

She wasn't just falling anymore, she loves him. She lusted for him. She couldn't hold back the commitment that he deserved from her.

Gabriella sat down on his twin bed and pulled him down with her. Without another word, she pulled him closer to her, kissing those desired lips.

He ran his tongue along her chocolate tasting bottom lip as she allowed him in.

They pulled away after a couple of minutes of kissing, his hands were still training down her bare arms slowly and sensually.

"I love you, Gabriella." He was lost in her eyes, without even thinking, the one thing that he had been feeling for a few weeks had rolled off of his own tongue… unknowingly.

Gabriella was too incredulous to find words. He loves her. Those words escaped his lips so smoothly.

"I love you… too." She finally found those four simple words that meant the world to him. "I want you to be my boyfriend." She breathed out significantly.

"I have been waiting." Troy smiled at her before capturing her lips again. Gabriella moved her delicate hands into his tangled hair as pleasure overtook her. She couldn't take it anymore, she wanted him, she needed him, after a month of lusting for him, she was done with the want.

Gabriella pulled away from him dominantly, leering at Troy naughtily. She untied the strings behind her neck, letting her halter top drop down, revealing her violet strapless bra.

Troy looked down at her concealed breasts with amplified eyes. "Gabriella, are you sure about this?"

"Ever since the first time you've kissed me. I want you… Troy." She spoke clearly for him to hear every word distinctively.

He smiled and returned to kissing her, except this time with more lust. But he pulled away reluctantly after a few seconds. "Protection?"

Gabriella pulled a squared package out of her denim shorts and waved it in front of his face. "Got it." She wanted to continue back on kissing him but he stopped her because of his own curiosity.

"When'd you get that? And why do you have it in your pocket?" He raised an eyebrow playfully.

"I always keep a condom somewhere in my purse, I just decided I'd come prepare so I took it out of my purse and put it in my pocket." She answered truthfully.

"You sure came prepared." He smirked and kissed her again, his hands trailing down her back.

A/N: I am so sorry for the long wait! I returned to school and I've been as busy as hell! I'm sooooo sorry! I hope you liked this chapter, and yes, they're going to have sex! Lol. In case you're not a genius. The two songs in this chapter are:

Fallin' For You by Colbie Caillat

White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

If you want to listen to these two songs, there's gonna be a link on my profile under the songs from my stories. And check out my fictionpress account, I write short little poems on there, although they aren't as good as my stories (just speaking the truth, not to be greedy or anything). Anyway, please review!
