Chapter 24 – A day alone
Troy stopped and then he started softly. "Bella… relax, it's me, Troy, I'm not hurting you!" he made Gabriella look at him.
The tears was running down her face, but as she saw those blue concerned eyes, she knew it was okay, that nothing was going to happen unless she made it happen.
Troy looked her in the eyes, "are you okay, babe?" he asked softly.
"Troy…" Gabriella cried, "Please hold me…"
Troy took her into his arms as he slowly sat up, and pulled her into his lap and put the blanket around them, "what happened honey?" Troy asked stroking her back.
"I… I'm… just not… ready to do this… it's too much right now…" Gabriella sobbed as she held on tight to Troy and rested her head against his shoulder.
"It is okay babe," Troy said and kissed the top of her head, "it is okay, I promise you, that everything is going to be in your tempo, I'm not going to force you to do anything that you don't want to or don't feel ready for! Just say stop, and then I'll stop, okay love?" Troy asked as he rocked her.
Gabriella nodded, "thanks Troy, it means a lot to me, that you are like this!"
"I'll always be like this, I'm not going to change or be an ass, no matter what!" Troy smiled.
"I'm glad," Gabriella smiled up at him.
They looked at each other for a while and then they both leaned in and kissed each other full of passion, and then slowly pulled back.
"I love you," Troy whispered.
"I love you too," Gabriella smiled and got out of his lap and then laid down at the bed, "come on, lay down, wildcat," Gabriella said as she looked up from the pillow.
Troy lay down beside Gabriella, "you want to go to sleep?" Troy asked her softly.
"Yeah," Gabriella smiled.
"Okay," Troy smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Can I lie in your arms?" Gabriella asked looking up at Troy.
"Of course, my love," Troy smiled and opened his arms and let her in and then wrapped his arms around her.
"Thanks," Gabriella smiled and rested her head at Troy's chest.
The next morning Gabriella woke up before Troy, she smiled at him; he looked cute, when he was sleeping. She tried to get out of the bed, but Troy's grab on her was too tight, so she could not get out of bed. Gabriella tried to move around and finally it happened, she was able to move, but not much, but enough for her to get on the top of Troy, she sat on the top of him and leaned down and kissed him softly. Troy kissed back still with his eyes closed.
"Morning wildcat," Gabriella giggled as she pulled back.
"Morning beauty," Troy smiled and opened his eyes, "you know what? I would like to wake up like this every morning," Troy chuckled as he pulled Gabriella down to him; Gabriella giggled as she kissed Troy once again and then they slowly pulled back.
"What do you want for breakfast honey?" Troy asked as he caressed Gabriella's upper arm.
"Whatever you want," Gabriella smiled.
"Hm… then let's go down and see what we can find," Troy smiled as he pulled them both out of the bed.
"We should probably get some clothes on," Gabriella giggled, when she realized that both of them only were standing in underwear.
"You're right," Troy chuckled and took out his sweatpants from his closet and put them on.
"I don't know what to wear," Gabriella giggled.
"Then take my shorts and a shirt," Troy chuckled.
"Ewww… your shorts?" Gabriella said playfully.
"Hey!" Troy chuckled as he went to her and pulled her into him and started tickling her, "what did you say?"
"Uh… argh! Trooooooy!" Gabriella laughed.
"What?" Troy laughed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Gabriella said laughing.
"Good girl," Troy smiled and stopped tickling her.
"Where are your shorts then?" Gabriella asked looking around.
"Uh… yeah," Troy looked around, "here," he said as he took them up from the floor near by the table and gave them to Gabriella.
"Thanks," Gabriella smiled and put them on and then she took her bra and a top and put it on.
"Anything else we should do before we go downstairs?" Troy asked looking at his girlfriend.
"I don't think so," Gabriella smiled as Troy pulled her into his arms.
"You are wrong there, Montez," he chuckled.
"Why?" Gabriella giggled, but got cut off as Troy kissed her softly.
"Now, we are ready to go downstairs," Troy chuckled after pulling back.
Gabriella smiled as they walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where there was a note for them.
Hey Troy and Bella,
We are gone for work, so you will be alone the whole day.
Remember dad has a meeting with someone, so he is going to be home late.
I'm not quite sure, what time I'll be home, but I'll text you if it's late.
There are pancakes in the fridge if you want them! (:
Have a nice day.
Mom/Leslie
"All alone with my princess the whole day," Troy chuckled as he and Gabriella read the note.
"Yeah," Gabriella smiled.
"Do you want pancakes?" Troy asked as he walked to the fridge.
"Yes please," Gabriella smiled.
"Okay then," Troy smiled and took out the pancakes and then sat them on the table.
After they had eaten their breakfast Troy and Gabriella walked outside and they lay down at a blanket in the garden.
"So, what do you want to do today?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella, who was lying at her back with her eyes closed.
"Nothing else but being with you," Gabriella smiled still with her eyes closed.
"Well, and then what do you want to do with me?" Troy asked.
"What do you want?" Gabriella asked looking at Troy but holding a hand up to protect her eyes from the sun.
"I don't know, you can't do that much, you need to rest, remember?" Troy said smiling at Gabriella.
"Yeah, I know," Gabriella sighed.
"It's okay, we will find out of something, babe," Troy smiled and kissed her softly.
"What about we go inside again?" Gabriella asked.
"Why?" Troy asked now with his closed.
"I want to take a shower," Gabriella said as she stood up.
"Yeah, me too," Troy smiled and stood up.
They walked in and then they found some relaxed clothes and then Gabriella went to Troy's bathroom to take a shower, and Troy was lying down at the bed waiting for Gabriella to get out from the shower, so that he could get in.
"Troy!" Gabriella called.
Troy almost jumped up from the bed and ran to the bathroom, "what's wrong babe?" he asked as he almost broke down the door.
Gabriella stood with her head out from the shower, "nothing," she giggled.
"Uh, then why did you call?" Troy asked confused.
"Nothing is wrong, but could you give me a towel babe?" Gabriella asked giggling.
"Of course, wait a second," Troy smiled and ran into his room and took a towel from his closet and then he went back to Gabriella, "here you go, beauty," Troy smiled and kissed her.
"Thanks honey," Gabriella smiled and then she wrapped the towel around her and stepped out, "your turn, handsome," Gabriella giggled.
"Yeah, I'll just go get my things," Troy smiled and walked into his room and took his things and then he walked into the bathroom once again.
"Just get in," Gabriella smiled.
"I'm on my way," Troy smiled and started to take of his clothes.
Gabriella just smiled at him and then started to wipe herself, but got stopped by two strong arms, which wrapped around her from behind and then a person kissed her in the neck, Gabriella giggled, "Troy.."
Troy stopped, "sorry, I couldn't stay away from you, babe," Troy made her turn, so that she was facing him.
"It is okay honey," Gabriella giggled.
"Good," Troy smiled and kissed her softly, and Gabriella returned the kiss.
They kept kissing and Gabriella wrapped her arms around Troy's neck, which coursed that the towel she had around her fell onto the floor, but she did not care. Troy slowly and carefully pushed Gabriella up against the wall while kissing her, and after sometime he lifted her up, so that she had her legs around his hips.
Gabriella slowly pulled back to get her breathe, "I love you, Troy," she smiled at him.
"I love you too, babe," Troy kissed her softly once again, and again they kept kissing. Troy's hands were all over Gabriella's body, he softly pressed her against the wall.
"Troy," Gabriella said breathing hard.
Troy looked at his girlfriend, "yeah, babe?"
"Can I get down, please, babe?" she asked softly still holding onto his neck.
"Of course, baby," Troy smiled and let her down.
"Come on," Gabriella said and took his hand and leaded him into the shower.
"Hey hey hey, what are we doing?" Troy asked a little confused.
"Just follow me," Gabriella giggled and turned on the water and wrapped her arms around Troy's neck again and leaned up to kiss him, and Troy leaned down to her and kissed her softly. Again they kept kissing only breaking their kisses, when they needed to breathe, but it was only short breaks and then they kissed again. Troy once again pushed Gabriella up against the wall and she wrapped her legs around his hips as they kept kissing. Troy moved to her neck and kissed her, making her moan.
Troy kept kissing and sucking her neck making her moan even louder. Her moaning made Troy want her even more, than he had wanted her before, he stopped and kissed her full of passion, "Bella…" he breathe heavily.
"Yes, babe?" Gabriella breathe heavily too.
"If we don't stop now…" Troy finally got his breathe again, "then I'm not sure, that I can stay away from you…"
Gabriella smiled and kissed him, "go on, I'll stop you, if I get uncomfortable, babe," she said.
"But Bella," Troy said but Gabriella laid a finger on his lips.
"No buts, Troy," Gabriella whispered, "go on, it's okay, I want this, babe…"
"Bella," Troy looked serious at her, "are you sure?"
"Yes, Troy," Gabriella smiled and kissed him.
"Okay then… but if we are going to have sex…" Troy started.
"Troy, I'm on the pill," Gabriella said, knowing that Troy was going to go out to take a condom.
"Oh, okay…" Troy smiled and kissed her.
They kept kissing, and Troy's hands moved around all over Gabriella's body. Troy kept kissing her roughly and Gabriella kissed back.
Troy pulled Gabriella even closer to him and then he turned off the water and walked out of the shower with Gabriella hanging on to him. He walked them into his room and then he laid Gabriella at the floor and lay on top of her.
They started to kiss once again, and they kept kissing for a while, but then Troy's phone started to ring. "Damn!" Troy sighed and looked at Gabriella, "sorry babe, I need to take it," he sighed and kissed her one last time and stood up and took his phone, "hello?" he sighed irritated that the person in the other end of the phone had ruined his and Gabriella's moment.
"Hey dude," Chad's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Chad, what's up?" Troy asked trying not to sound rude or irritated.
Gabriella got up from the floor and smiled at Troy and then mouth, "we'll keep this up another time, babe, sorry," she kissed his cheek and then went to the bathroom and got dressed.
"Well, nothing much, how is you and Gabster?" Chad asked.
"We are fine, what about you and Tay?" Troy asked as he walked to the bathroom to check on Gabriella.
"We are fine," Chad said.
"That's good," Troy smiled, "hang on a second, "Bella?" Troy asked as he put the phone down.
"Yeah babe?" Gabriella asked as she opened the door.
"Are you done?" Troy asked.
"Yeah," Gabriella smiled, "who is on the phone?"
"Chad," Troy said and gave her the phone, "I'll go take a shower now, tell Chad if he wants to talk to me, he can call again later," Troy said and kissed Gabriella.
"Okay babe," Gabriella smiled and put the phone up to her ear, "Chaddy!" she giggled.
Chad chuckled as he heard Gabriella's voice, "Hey baby sis."
"Troy is gone for a shower, so I'm talking now," Gabriella said.
"I can tell that," Chad chuckled, "so how are my little sis?"
"She is fine, she is in good hands with Troy," Gabriella smiled as she lay down at the bed.
"That's great!" Chad smiled.
"Yeah, so what's up big bro?" Gabriella asked as she looked tried to find a way to lie comfortable.
"Not much, just waiting for Tay to arrive," Chad smiled as he thought of his girlfriend.
"Oh, right, you can say hi from me," Gabriella giggled.
"I'll do that," Chad said, "are you guys coming to school tomorrow?"
"I don't know," Gabriella sighed, "it depends on, how I'm feeling and so on…"
"Yeah, I know, but please text me whether you come or not, okay?" Chad said, he really wanted Gabriella to get back to the normal life again, it was hard for him to see his best friend, his almost little sister like this, and she was way too good to be hurt.
"Yeah, I'll text you Chaddy," Gabriella smiled.
"Good Gabby, but Tay is here, so I'll see you tomorrow," Chad said.
"Yeah you probably will," Gabriella smiled, and they hang up.
Gabriella was laying in the bed for a while waiting for Troy, who came out from the bathroom in a pair of black sweat pants and a white shirt, "hey babe," he smiled as he jumped to the bed to Gabriella.
"Hi," Gabriella smiled at him.
"So what do you want to do now, that big bro Chad destroyed our moment?" Troy asked as he pulled one of Gabriella's curls out of her face.
"Thanks," she giggled, "hm… what about we go make some dinner?"
"We could do that," Troy smiled as he pulled her up from the bed and then they walked downstairs.
"So what do you want to do?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella.
"It depends on if your mom is coming home for dinner or not… 'cause if she isn't then we don't have to make a big dinner," Gabriella smiled.
"I'll find out then," Troy smiled and dialed his mom's number.
A little later.
"She isn't coming home," Troy sighed and then he smiled at Gabriella.
"Well, then we should do something easy," Gabriella giggled.
"Order a pizza," Troy chuckled, "that would be the easiest thing."
"And the most boring," Gabriella giggled and kissed Troy, "we are going to have fun, babe."
"Then let's make our own pizza," Troy smiled.
"Yeah, let's do that," Gabriella giggled and they started to make their own pizza.
After they had eaten and done the dishes Troy and Gabriella was lying at the couch watching TV. Gabriella leaning against Troy resting her head at his chest, and Troy was holding her close, as the doorbell rang.
"I should go get that," Troy sighed.
"Yeah," Gabriella sighed and slowly pulled away so that Troy could get out of the couch.
"I'll be right back honey," Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella's temple and then he walked to the door and opened it and saw his mom standing in the door, "hi mom," he smiled, "come on in," he smiled as he opened the door wider.
"Thanks honey," Leslie smiled as she walked in, "where is Bella?"
"In the living room," Troy smiled, "Bella?"
"Yes babe?" Gabriella said as she entered the kitchen, "Oh, Hey Leslie," she smiled, "how was work?"
Leslie smiled, "Hi Bella, it was fine, thanks."
Troy walked to Gabriella and wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her cheek, "there is pizza in the fridge, home-made by Bella and me," Troy smiled at Leslie.
"Oh, I'll take a slice in a minute," Leslie smiled, "so how was your day?"
Troy smiled at Gabriella, "fine mom…"
Gabriella nodded, "yeah it has been fine."
"That's good," Leslie smiled, "so Bella, how are you feeling today? Are you ready to go to school tomorrow?"
Gabriella sighed, "I don't know, I've been lying in the bed the most of the day after I've been in the shower, and I'm not feeling that well yet," Gabriella sighed once again and rested her head back against Troy's chin. She was a little dizzy, but the doctors had said that it was normal after trying to make a suicide with pills, but she was only dizzy if she moved to fast or she was standing up longer than 20 minutes without support.
"Hm, I think you should stay home tomorrow again, and then you have the weekend to get ready for school and then we'll see how things are going, okay?" Leslie smiled as she took a slice of Troy's and Gabriella's pizza.
"Okay," Gabriella smiled as she held onto Troy for getting some support so that she would not fall.
"Do you want Troy to stay home with you?" Leslie asked as she sat down at the chair.
"Yeah, that would be nice, if he could," Gabriella smiled as she and Troy intertwined their fingers.
"Okay, Troy you can stay home with Gabriella, if you want to," Leslie smiled, knowing that Troy would stay home.
"Okay, thanks mom, I'll do that," Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella's cheek.
"Okay," Leslie smiled.
"When is dad coming home?" Troy asked as he looked at the clock, it was almost 9.30 p.m..
"I don't know, but soon I think," Leslie smiled, "but he promised me to text me, when he drove off from the work."
At the same time the door went open, "hey you guys," John smiled as he entered the kitchen.
"Hey," they smiled.
"Shouldn't you text me, when you drove off?" Leslie asked looking up at her husband.
"Yeah, sorry about that honey, my phone died," John said as he kissed her softly.
"Oh, okay," Leslie smiled.
"We'll go upstairs," Troy said, "goodnight," Troy and Gabriella walked upstairs and into Troy's room.
"So what do you want to see?" Troy said as he sat down in front of the shelves with DVDs.
"Just choose one," Gabriella said as she sat down at the bed.
"Okay, then we'll watch Aladdin," Troy chuckled and put it in the DVD player and went to the bed and then lay down as he pulled Gabriella down with him.
"Okay," Gabriella giggled as she lay down with Troy and then rested her head against Troy's shoulder.
They were lying talking and watching the movie, while they stole a few kisses, when Gabriella's phone rang.
"Troy can you pick it up for me?" Gabriella asked, she was afraid… afraid of that it maybe could be Jordan.
"Sure babe," Troy smiled at her and picked up, "hello?"
"Uh, who is this?" a voice asked.
