Gabriella smiled as Troy poured her wine.

"So tell me what you think?" he said with a smile. "And please don't hold back."

She slowly lifted the desert to her lips and tasted the treat. To her delight it was probably the best thing she ever tasted. "You made this." she said looking at him a bit shocked.

"Yes." He said handing her the wine glass.

"Oh my god these are so good." She said looking at the treat again and then taking a bite.

"My mother use to make them all the time." he said with a smile as he looked out into the view. "she was a great cook when it came to sweets."

"My mom use to cook these amazing small sugar dough balls for me and my sisters when we were little." She said with a smile. "Lots of the family recipes were past down when we were little and mom would teach us how to cook so we could help out."

"You're family is close then huh?" he asked her as he watched the moon light settle on her features.

"Yes." She said with a smile. "My parents are too involved if you ask me." She added with a raised brow.

"What do you mean?" he said watching as she took another desert. She was not afraid to eat in front of him and he loved that about her. He loved the pleasure in her face as she chewed.

"I'm here aren't I?" she said lifting her glass.

"Do you regret it?" he asked her holding his own breath as she was silent for a moment.

"No." she said slowly. "and yes." She added. "I mean the idea of being on a Reality TV show is like a once and a life time opportunity and I guess from now on I'll have this cool story I can look back on and talk about."

Troy was a bit disappointed because her reason was not him but he kept his eyes on her and his breath released slowly.

"No because this really isn't my ideal way to look for a relationship if you know what I mean." She said with a smile as she looked back at him.

"I know." He said taking a deep breath. "I never pictured myself here in this situation?"

"Does anyone really, until it happens." She said looking at the view again.

"My grandmother would love talking to you." He said as he watched her sip from the glass. "She is a great woman but for a 75 year old she is feisty and healthy." He said with a smirk as he thought about his Grandmother.

"She raised you?"

"Yup." Troy nodded as he picked up one of the deserts. "My grandmother is my dad's mom. My mom's side lives in Italy."

"So half of you is at least Italian."

"Yes." He said loving the way her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

"I've never dated an Italian man." she said placing a finger on her bottom lip as she thought.

Troy laughed as he shook his head and looked at her with curiosity. "Well I know your Spanish." He said looking at her quizzically "just what kind?"

"Puerto Rican." She said looking at him with a small smile. "My family is all about traditions and family culture."

"Yet they put you on a TV show."

"My sisters are slowly poising my mother head with pop culture."

Troy laughed lightly as she joined him.

The rest of the evening was just as pleasant and Gabriella was so relaxed and clam she didn't even take notice of the helicopter ride back. Once they were back at the house Gabriella smiled and looked up at the looming building. "Back to a so called reality." She said under her breath and Troy smiled. He wanted to kiss her to touch her. He wanted her to give him some kind of indication that she wanted him to as well.

Gabriella smiled as she looked at him. "Thank you for the evening it was relaxing and exciting." She said tucking a curl away from her face.

"Not a problem always a pleasure." He said lifting her hand to his lips. Troy kept his eyes fixed on her as he placed the kiss there. He was looking for any indication that she might want him to go further.

Gabriella smiled as she pulled her hand away and held it to her heart. "Good night." She said in a low voice and Troy watched painfully as she walked away and up the stairs. His eye roamed her body before they rested on her curvy hips, following them as she let them sway. Just as she got to the top of the stair she turned around slightly and smiled at him with desire in her eyes. That was all it took for Troy as a request.

Taking the stairs two at a time he came up to her and kissed her lips fully pulling her into his embrace. His hand wrapped around to hold her, his body over towering her as he deepened the kiss. His body felt as those it was on fire with the heat that she was sending through his body. Her lips were soft and her skin was softer. And he could feel her breast on his chest making him groan with the desire to have her.

Gabriella let a moan escape from her lips as she smiled into the kiss, he was so forbidden to her that everything about him made her want him more. The last time she let him kiss her she almost let him have his way with her in the living room for the entire world to see. Leaning back to break the kiss Troy leaned forward not letting her get way that easy.

A giggle escaped as she placed two hands on his chest and broke the kiss. "You're only teasing yourself." She said feeling his member hard alongside her waist.

A low grumble came from his throat as he nuzzled into her neck using his lips to kiss the spot he'd found the other night, she shivered in his hands and she pushed away again. "Troy? cameras?" she reminded him.

"I hate cameras." He mumbled as he let her go. Gabriella giggled as she let go of his hand and moved towards the door. Troy stood in his spot at the top of the stairs as he watched her go inside. He murmured a curse word as she disappeared from his sight and he instantly passed a hand through his hair. He needed to touch, it was like torture not being about to touch her like he wanted to but the cameras were everywhere. Slowly a smile crept to his face. They weren't everywhere.

The moment Gabriella walked in Michelle and Tina were sitting around the living room talking about highlights and hair tones. Both girls stop to look over at the smiling Gabriella.

"Good date?" Michelle said a bit sadden by her glow.

"Great date." She said with a smile as she blindly made her way past them.

Tina and Michelle watched as she left the room.

"I was really counting on her being so distant and stubborn I took her out of my enemy spot." Tina said crossing her arms.

"It's not fair, she told me she didn't want to be here." Michelle said with a frown.

"Well she wants to be here now."

"We have to get her kicked off."

"Well next week is the family visit. Hopefully her family is crazy." Tina whispered.

"Hopefully."

Later that evening as Gabriella was in the kitchen getting herself a glass of water. She had changed out of her dress and was now in a sweatshirt and purple cotton shorts. Her hair was brushed out into a pony tail and she was still thinking about certain blue eyed man. After a moment she felt a presence in the room, looking up she seen Troy leaning against the door frame.

"Hey." He said with a devious smile.

"Hey." She said feeling the butterflies flip as she lifted the glass to her lips.

Troy walked over and gave her a small kiss on her forehead. "You should put that on a napkin." He said in a low voice as he placed a napkin down.

Gabriella smiled as she put her glass down on top of it and she looked up at him with a smile. "Can't sleep huh?" she asked.

"Not yet." He whispered as he moved past her and to the fridge.

Gabriella rolled her eyes and then looked down at her glass to notice something blue at the bottom. Leaning over a bit she saw words written down on the napkin. Turning back to him she watched as he took out an apple.

"Nice evening?" He said looking at her then the napkin as he closed the fridge.

Gabriella looked back at the glass and to the bottom of the napkin and read the question. Meet me in the down stairs bathroom at 11? Her skin instantly burned as she glanced at the clock to see that it was 10:35. Taking a moment to think about what his intentions were she remembered that the bathroom didn't have any cameras.

"Yes." She said looking back at him.

A smile spread across his face as he took a bite of the apple. She watched as his muscles of his jaw flexed and she was turned on just by watching him.

"Later tenderfoot." He said with a smirk and made his way out of the room.

Gabriella stood in the empty kitchen thinking about what was going to happen in a few moments. Was she really going to meet him in the bathroom? She wasn't stupid she knew what was going to happen if she did. Closing her eyes she thought back to the last time she had sex with David. Opening her eyes again she realized she couldn't remember. Her heart didn't even hurt when she tried to think about him. Looking down at her glass she looked at the words once again and she couldn't help but feel a smile warm her core as she thought about Troy touching her body in intimate places. Looking back up at the clock it was 10:42.

Gabriella wasn't sure what to do. She didn't want to be like Victoria. She didn't want to be a slut. What if someone heard them? What if someone knocked on the door? What if there was a camera in the bathroom? What if right now all America could see the note in front of her?

Looking up at the clock again she noted the time. 10:45.

In fifth teen minutes she could either be asleep in her bed dreaming of Troy and wishing she was brave enough to be in that bathroom or she could be in that bathroom wrapping her legs around his waist and seeing first hand just how god like he was. A smile spread on her lips as she weighed the options. Wasn't reality better than a dream? What would Sharpay and Taylor say? Rolling her eye she lifted her glass, they'd tell her to go put on something sultrier and don't forget to lock the door. Taking a sip she let the water moisten her dry throat.

10:48.

She could just ignore it. It had been so long since she had sex. What if she was at a loss for what to do? what if something changed in the last six years and she didn't know because she wasn't having sex? The girls would have told her right? Sharpay had told her of a guy from her health club she'd slept with in the sauna room. She didn't hear her talk about new moves or rules. Taking a deep breath she looked at the clock again.

10:50.

This was ridiculous. She thought as she tilted the glass of water and poured it on the note. Sex hadn't changed. Nothing was new about sex. Why was she standing her like a shy virgin? She was a 29 year old woman and she had needs just like other woman. Needs that have not been filled in 6 years? She thought looking back at the clock.

10:52.

She was going.

Scrunching up the soggy note she ruined she tossed it into the trash can. Placing her glass in the sink she smiled and made her way out of room. Her hands we shaking as she made her way through the house. Looking at the clock in the living room it read 10:56. Gabriella took a deep breath and made her way down the hall leading to the bathroom door. It was almost as if the door led to unknown world. Slowly she approached the door and reached for the knob pushing the door open and stepping inside.

Once she was inside she shut and locked the door behind her and turned to see Troy was sitting on the side of the tub and as soon as he saw her his face lit up as he stood up. "For a moment I didn't think you'd come." He admitted as he looked at her.

"I must warn you it's been a while." She said looking down at her slippers.

"We don't have to-" Troy was cut off as Gabriella placed a finger to his lips.

"Please." She said looking him in the eye. "If we don't do something soon I'm not going to have the guts to stay." She said with a weak smile.

Troy let a smile spread on his lips as he took her in his arms and kissed her finger. Gabriella smiled as she leaned into him.

Troy hands slid down her body as her own hands rest on his chest feeling his muscles flex beneath her fingers. Troy felt as though he needed her closer. He needed to feel her skin. Reaching his hands to the hem of her sweatshirt he pulled it up and Gabriella lifted her hands to accommodate. Once the sweatshirt was discarded Troy hands ran down her arms lighting a fire on her body as his hands slid over the skin and his lips touched her collar bone.

Gabriella felt the cold breeze of air as the sweatshirt left her body but she was soon warmed by his lips and hands as he placed kisses along her collar bone and then down into the dip between her breasts. His hand unclasped the bra from the back and he reached up for her lips as he removed the bra. His lips tasted like apples. A fruit she'd never be able to eat again without thinking of Troy. She arched her body into his as he continued to kiss and lick her body.

He was sure he was dreaming. That none of this could be real. He was touching her skin, her soft skin that was almost to that of an angel. He felt her body shiver with his touch and she felt him reach for his pants as she undid the belt buckle. As soon as she unzipped him he let out a rumble from his throat she was going to drive him crazy. Her hand slipped inside and she found his already stiff member and began to stroke him.

Gabriella wanted him to feel some kind of pleasure as he made her feel. As soon as her hand wrapped around him she felt a surge of power as he moaned. She was brave, she was wanted, and she wanted him as well. His hands wrapped around to grab her bottom, before she knew it he had lifted her and she was now sitting on the vanity counter.

Removing his shoes and socks he let his pants fall and then he pulled his shirt up and over his head. Gabriella breath was sharp as she looked at his body. He was a god. She thought as she removed her shorts. Troy's hands tugged on her panties as he gently pulled them off. She could hear her heart slamming her chest and was sure he could hear it.

Gabriella let out a moan as he slipped his hand between her legs and gently felt her folds place a thumb over her clitoris. Pleasure shot through her body and she griped his shoulders as he placed small sweet kisses on her shoulder.

"Troy." she whispered as he momentarily paused to reach into his pants that were bunched on the floor. Pulling a condom from the pocket he came back up to her and smiled.

"Yes." He said looking into her cloudy eyes. She was a sight to see against the mirror sitting before him like a gift. Her body was open to him and her eyes taking in all his muscles and ridges. He watched her eyes roam over him hungrily and Troy felt a bit of his control snap. He had to be gentle with her, he had to take it slow. Show her how much she meant to him. How much he wanted her. But somehow he didn't think he could.

"Take me." She said reaching for him. Without further need of an invitation Troy opened the foil packet and covered his cock with the condom.

She moaned as he positioned himself at her entrance. The head of his cock rubbing her folds before he slowly eased his way into her entrance feeling her muscles shutter around him and her gasp as he continued to fill her.

Gabriella held on to him as he entered her for the first time. She shut her eyes and wrapped her legs around him as she could feel her skin stretching to take him. It had been a very long time since she had a sexual experience and to say that it almost felt like her first time all over again was overstatement but she sure as hell wasn't as prepared as she felt her insides tighten around him. Troy let out a small moan as he held her closer his lips nuzzling into her neck and kissing the bare skin.

She was unbelievably tight and warm as he pulled out and entered her a second time. He felt her body wrap around him more bringing him closer and deeper. "Gabriella." he said in a whisper. "Oh god."

Her lips began to kiss his shoulder and he thought he was going to explode right there and then. He began to pull out and thrust back in a bit quicker. As he pushed into her he increase his speed, his rhythm soon found a steady pace for the both of them. Her body was hot in his hands and he was going crazy from the small moans coming from her lips as she nipped and kissed his chest or jaw. Her hand gripped his shoulders her nails pressed into his skin and he was so turned on by her actions he pushed himself deeper and deeper.

"Oh Troy." she whisper tossing her head back slowly. Troy leaned forward kissing the skin on her neck as she let closed her eyes in complete bliss. He was a god like no other a man she had never expected. Troy Bolton was more than the pretty boy with Charm. It was in the way he touched her the way his lips slowly moved across her skin. The way made sure she was comfortable or satisfied not only was he focus on his pleasure but his attention to making her feel even more pleasure was unbelievable. His hand slipped between and he rubbed her clitoris. His lips found that special spot on her neck and she swore she was going to combust from the pleasure shooting through her body. "Fuck." She whispered as she let he body slip into a higher state of arousal.

"Brie." He said holding onto her tighter. "oh god." He whispered as their bodies quicken the rhythm of the thrust. She was hanging on to him whimpering in his arms and he was trying to control himself making sure she climaxed.

"oh god I'm gonna cum." She whispered pressing her nails into his back and dragging them down. Pleasure shot through him and he forgot his control and lifted her body as he really pounded into her getting in deeper and pressing her body against the wall her muscle contracted around him as she opened her mouth to moan. Before she produced a sound Troy lips covered hers and kissed her hard and long as he felt his own orgasm take over and soon they were both rolling in the pleasure of climax thundering through them.

"Oh my god." She whispered as she felt him grip her tighter into a hug. She was exhausted and loved the way her body felt against his. She wanted to be in his touch forever. She wanted to never let go.

His breathing was still very hard as he leaned back a bit and let her down so her feet could touch the floor. "Brie that was amazing." He said placing a kiss on her forehead.

"So amazing." She said looking at him with a dreamy smile.

"Marry me?" he said in a whisper.

Gabriella looked up at him with a smile. "The game isn't over yet."

"Who cares." He said with a smile.

"About five other girls." She said looking at him with a playful smile.

"And a whole network for that matter." he said with a chuckle.

"We should go to bed."

"I want you with me." He said pulling her closer.

"Patience." She said with a smirk. Troy leaned down and lifted her panties.

"Then I'm taking these." He said with a smile.

"Pervert." She said reaching for her underwear.

"I see it as a token of remembrance." He said with a smile.

Giving up she reached for her bra and sweatshirt. Troy smiled as he removed the condom and disposed of it. Gathering his clothes on as well and stuffing her panties into his pocket. He smiled as she shimmed into her shorts without her underwear.

"You leave first and then I'll go a bit later." He said with a warm smile as he reached for her hand.

Gabriella smiled as she leaned into him and placed a kiss on his lips.

Troy sighed as he watched her wave and then slowly opened the door and made her way outside. A smile tugging on her lips as she began to make her way down the hall.

Once the door was closed Troy let a very big smile come over his face as he took on the scent of her perfume that lingered behind in the air. She was the one.
