An: Hey guys so I know my usual update time passed but I just got back from Rome and Germany. Let me tell you it was so awesome while I was there I had a lot of time to plan for the coming chapters including this one so I hope you like it. And thanks so much for the response I got last chapter… your reviews were great to read!

Recap

"Wow" He breathed as he tried to regain his breath. "Yeah wow" I said as my breathing was getting back to normal.

Gabriella's pov

Troy closed his eyes as he sighed in contentment. He slipped his arm around my waist. And I hugged his torso I placed my head on his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat.

He pulled away from me and slowly kissed me again. "I can't tell you how good it feels to be able to do that" He said hoarsely his blue eyes glowing.

I nodded fervently as I giggled. He sat down and pulled me so I was sitting down on his lap. "Troy" I said giggling "What are you doing?" I asked squirming as I tried to get out of his grasp.

"I'm holding you as close possible" He said as he hugged me tight and smelled my hair. "Troy come on" I said as I laughed. "I just got up at least let me shower or something" I said as I playfully punched his arm.

He gently turned my head so I was looking at him. "You're not going anywhere" He said as he stroked my cheek softly.

"It feels so good to have you in my arms"

"When did you become such a romantic?"

"It's all because of you" He said as he pecked my lips and pulled away resting our foreheads together. I smiled at him as I gently traced the outline of his face. "What are you doing?" He whispered softly.

"I'm putting all this in memory so I can remember how you looked in this one moment" I said slowly as I came to my favorite part his eyes.

I looked up into them and smiled at how blue they seemed.

Troy pulled me off his lap and lay down on the grass the sun beating gently on his chestnut brown hair. His eyes were wide open watching me intently.

I lay down beside him and he immediately interlaced our fingers. I scooted closer to him as I once again placed my head on his chest and he snaked his arm around me. We just sat there in comfortable silence. It felt just like heaven.

"Troy?" I whispered quietly after a time. "Hmmm?" He said his eyes closed.

"What does this make us?" I asked quietly absentmindedly drawing circles on his chest.

His eyes opened and he looked down at me. "Well" He said as he took my hand and slowly kissed it. I blushed.

"You could finally be my girlfriend" He suggested. He was rubbing my arm gently while waiting for my answer.

"Do you really mean it Troy?" I asked looking at his reaction. He smiled as he looked at me gently.

"More than anything"

"And I'm really different to you? You won't um" I gulped afraid of phrasing my question. I know he just proved he wanted to be with me more than anything but I still had my doubts.

He chuckled at my nervousness and he once again kissed my hand. Then he slowly kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes savoring the feeling of his lips.

" You mean the world to me Brie" He said as he pulled me closer. "I would never do anything to hurt you" He said as he looked at me. He gently lifted my chin up so my eyes met his. "I promise" He whispered.

I smiled at him gloriously as I leaned up and pecked him on the cheek.

"That's all I get?"

"Yup" I said grinning like an idiot.

"Nuh uh no fair" He said pouting and crossing his arms like a 5 year old.

"Haven't you heard? Life isn't fair" I said waving nonchalantly and trying to keep a serious face.

"But I want a kiss" He said sitting up and pulling me close.

"Troy" I said giggling as I playfully hit his chest. "You can get one later" I said finally so he would let me go. He was silent for a moment.

"Is it later yet?" He asked like an impatient child on Christmas.

I had to laugh at his eagerness. "Nop" I said simply as I watched his smile fall.

"You better give me that kiss or else" He said threateningly as he watched me get up.

"Or else what?" I asked amusement filling my voice.

He kept stepping closer to me as he backed me up against our tree. "Or else I'll just have to tickle you" He said darkly as his hands reached out to poke my sides.

"Troy" I said slapping his hand away. "You wouldn't dare" I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"Watch me" He said as he started tickling me.

I squealed as he I tried to get away from his hands but he had me boxed in. I had a sudden idea as I stopped. "Hey Troy?" I asked sweetly batting my eye lashes at him. "Hmmm?" He asked his hands by his side.

"Catch me if you can" I said as I went out from under his arms and took off running. "Come back here" I heard him say as he was slowly catching up to me. "Never "I yelled back defiantly giggling as he tried to keep up with me. "What ever happened to your legs?" He asked as I heard him struggle to regain his breath. "Oh they got better so I could keep up with my hot basketball boyfriend" I said as I stopped to regain my breath. He came up behind me so unexpectedly I nearly screamed.

"Don't do that you scared me" I said putting my hands to my chest. "Sorry" He said sheepishly as he snaked his arm around my waist and buried his face in my hair.

"So who is this hot boyfriend?" He asked suddenly.

"Oh you know it's just some guy who I felt sorry for poor dude but shhh It's a secret" I said teasingly.

"Does this guy happen to have chestnut brown hair and blue eyes?"

" Oh my God how did you know?" I asked faking surprise.

"We're like this" He said putting his fingers together. I laughed at his attempt to copy this move.

"I want to go have a shower" I said suddenly aware that my hair was a mess my clothes were disheveled and my mouth and my body probably smelled like well not good.

"Allow me" He said as he swept me off my feet and carried my bridal style. "Troy" I said complaining as I hit his chest. "Put me down" I said annoyingly as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Stop pampering me" I whined as I kicked with my feet to make him let go of me.

He started tickling me till I giggled and stopped kicking. "That's better" He said he kissed my cheek. "You deserve the best" He said as he stroked my hair gently.

"Troy there's a…"

"Nop"

"But you're gonna"

"No I don't want to hear it. You do deserve the best no arguing"

"Ok" I said as I shrugged an amused grin on my face. Suddenly Troy's foot came into contact with a lose tree branch we had and he tripped and fell but luckily for me I landed on top of him.

"You were saying?" I asked sweetly as he looked at me amused. "What no I told you so's?" He asked as he brushed as lose strand of hair from my face.

"No I'll let you suffer the consequences of not listening to me" I said over dramatically as I rolled my eyes.

I suddenly noticed the position we were in. Troy was lying flat on his back with his arm around my waist and I was lying on top of him. I blushed as I rolled over and buried my face in his t-shirt.

"Eww you smell" I said as I backed away a bit.

"You know you like it" He said as he sneaked closer to me.

"Yeah sure I do in your head" I said sarcastically. He suddenly stopped and looked at himself.

"Do I really smell that bad?" He asked seriously.

"No offense but just a bit" I said as I covered my nose. He looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

"I'm kidding. What did I say drama queen" I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Hey what's that?" He asked pointing to my left hand and my one of my fingers. "What?" I asked smiling until I noticed what he was looking at.

"Is that a um" He said coming closer as he squinted his eyes to get a better view. "Is that a purity ring?" He asked his eyes slowly moving up to meet mine.

I sighed as I nodded. "Yeah its um weird I know for me to have it but it's always been my dream that when I do it……I do it with the right person under the right circumstances" I said fiddling with the ring.

He was chuckling so I looked up to meet his amused stare. "What's so funny?" I asked with one eye brow raised.

"Nothing" He said stopping. "It's just" He hesitated. "You can tell me anything you know that right" I said as I stepped closer to him and slipped my arm around his torso.

"It's funny you should have one when I do" He admitted as he pulled out a chain he was wearing to reveal a purity ring.

"What?" I asked shocked as I pulled away to look at him fully.

"Yeah I know shocking huh?" He said as he placed the ring back under his shirt.

"The Troy Bolton wants to be pure till his wedding night?" I asked teasing.

"Yeah hard to believe huh?" He said scratching his neck nervously.

"Hey" I said as I grabbed his hand I kissed it gently. "I think that's great" I whispered. He grinned at me.

"Hey Ella what are you…?" I heard Taylor's voice say and I immediately froze. I was too caught up with Troy to remember that Taylor spent the night.

"Good morning Tay" I finally said my voice somewhat strangled from the shock.

"Morning" She said as she smiled at me and yawned.

"Morning Troy" She said as she waved. "Morning Tay" He said as he smiled at her.

"So you woke our gabi up early eh?" She asked coming closer.

"Yeah" He said unsure how to proceed.

"Well glad to see you came to your senses but if you hurt her" She said warningly.

"I know I know" He said raising his hands up and surrender. "You'll make me pay" He said chuckling but totally serious.

"Actually" She said as her tone and eyes softened. "I'm not the one you need to worry about" She said laughing as she looked at our intertwined hands. "It's Ry you need to worry about" She said as she left and went inside.

Troy looked at me confused and amused at the same time. "Ryan acts like a big brother but don't worry" I said as I got up. I offered him my hand and he took as we started to walk inside.

"You up for some breakfast?" I asked as I closed the door to the garden behind me. "I'd love some" I heard him say as he wandered off towards the kitchen.

I laughed and muttered "Men" as I followed him. You know what they say sometimes a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I couldn't have agreed more.
