Chapter 26

"How dare you come into my shop, wait, correction, how dare you break into my shop and speak to me that way. You have a lot of nerve." Lindsey fumed, " I will not stand here and take it."

Sharpay sighed and rolled her eyes, "uh huh, yeah, well I don't give a fuck if you stand, sit, hell you can lay out on this dirty floor for all I care, but you are still going to hear me out"

Lindsey let out a growl and anger filled her core as her cheeks began turn red, "Get the fuck out!"

Sharpay pretended to think, "umm nope"

Lindsey's mouth dropped, "excuse me?"

"Wow, you're too young for your hearing to being going out hun, but ill repeat just in case I stuttered, even though I didn't. I'm not leaving, even if I have to tie your scrawny ass to a chair and tape that loud mouth shut" She said pulling out a roll of metallic duck tape and tan rope from her bag.

"I'm calling the police" Lindsey screamed.

Sharpay laughed, "No you're not. If you were actually going to do that, it would have already been done, so your idle threats mean nothing, actually the only thing they are doing is prolonging my visit, so really you have no one to blame but yourself for my still being here"

"How does Gabriella stand your presence?" Lindsey asked, her eyes still narrowed and her fist clinched.

Sharpay took a few steps forward and smirked, "so you remember her?"

Lindsey placed her hands on her hips, "how could I not. She is fucking my fiancé'"

"Fiancé', hmmm so you're still calling him that?"

Lindsey stood silent.

Sharpay flicked her hair off her shoulder as she began fidgeting with some of the things in the shop, "now I have never been engaged before, but I would think moving out wouldn't be something a "fiancé'" would do and that is what Troy appeared to be doing when I was over their earlier"

Lindsey's mouth dropped, "what the hell were you doing there?"

"Calm down precious, I just needed to talk to him about something. I didn't mess with anything in your prefect little condo"

Sharpay laughed, "well, as perfect as it can be"

"You are a retched human being" Lindsey said.

Sharpay shrugged, "maybe, but at least I continue to give you a reason to hate me"

Lindsey's eyes narrowed in confusion, "what is that suppose to mean?"

Sharpay put down the duster she had been playing with and walked over to Lindsey, "I don't give a flying fuck if you like me, actually I quite prefer you disliking me; it makes the world go round. It keeps harmony in the world, well, my world, but Gabriella she fucked up once and wants to crawl back into your life, yet you won't even allow her to attempt it. I personally don't think anyone is worth crawling for, but she sees it differently and appears to be trying to do just that with you"

"She took Troy from me"

"She can't take something that doesn't want to be taken darling. I would think you should know that." Sharpay looked around, "I mean someone who has taken everything from daddy her entire life should certainly get that"

"She was my friend"

"No she wasn't"

Lindsey stared blankly at her, "what?"

"You can't just wipe real friends from your life. People fuck up sweetheart, if there were no remorse then you wipe your hands, but when there is remorse, pain and sacrifice you give it a second thought"

Lindsey laughed, "Right, obviously you haven't been fucked over by too many friends"

Sharpay shrugged, "have you?"

Lindsey's eyes widen, "um, no"

"Then what bases do you have, other than just being pissed off? Have you even tried to talk to her, to him?"

"I have nothing to say to her. There is nothing for her say" Lindsey said stubbornly.

Sharpay laughed, "You little bitches are all the same. Let me guess, you have talked to Troy and believe this is all Gabriella's fault even though he has tried to express to you that it was a two party act."

Lindsey didn't say anything.

Sharpay shook her head, "wow, you are everything I hate right now"

"How dare you talk to me that way" Lindsey spat, her anger rearing its head again.

Sharpay furrowed her brow, "how dare you be that stupid fucking girl. I bet if Troy said he was sorry and that he wanted to be with you, you would fall to your knees and suck his dick right then"

Lindsey growled as her mouth gaped open.

Sharpay laughed, "It's over Lindsey. You know it. I know it; Troy knows it, hell even that fucking retard Chad knows it. The only person who doesn't is Gabi and you know why princess?"

Lindsey didn't say anything.

"Because she won't do anything with Troy, she can't see past hurting you, even though inside she knows the truth. Troy wants her, not you. Yeah, it sucks, but that's how it is…. She loves him by the way," Sharpay said as she smiled and watched Lindsey's eyes narrow even more.

She continued, "But because she is such a wreck over hurting you she'd rather be miserable. So you see, they're not together and Troy still hasn't come running back to you. So I see it two ways, you can either be a retched hag and grow old full of hate and resentment, losing a close friend, or you can begin to deal with it and at least make a effort to listen to Gabriella, yourself proclaimed best friend. No one said you had to go back to that, but I would like to think you aren't that big a wench to not be able to move on, but then again I have been wrong once or twice"

"You need to leave" Lindsey finally said in a low voice.

Sharpay grinned, "Fine, but you know pumpkin, holding grudges causes wrinkles and you wouldn't want anymore to form on that make-up caked face"

Lindsey growled, "Out, Now!"

Sharpay laughed, "think about it Lindsey, good friends are hard to find" She said and exited the shop.

Lindsey was pissed, no, livid. Sharpay had no right to say all she said to her. She didn't know her, she didn't understand. She did have to admit that it shocked her that Gabriella and Troy weren't "together" but that was no matter to her, right? She hated Gabriella for what she had done to her. Yeah, it sucked that she hadn't talk to her in over a week, because for the past eight years they had talked at least once a day. She missed her sure, but she had fucked her over and that was something Lindsey couldn't see past right now.

Lindsey put her key in the lock and entered the condo. She froze for a moment and then turned to shut the door.

"Um, what are you doing here?"

Troy ran his fingers through his hair, "oh, I moved a good bit of stuff earlier and I came back because I couldn't sleep so I figured I would try and get the rest of it. Um, I can go, I'm sorry" Troy said as he began to gather his belongings.

Lindsey shook her head, "no its fine" she said as she walked further into the den.

Troy gave her a small smile, "okay, thanks"

Lindsey watched him move his strong body over his remaining belongings and felt her body ache with desire. From day one his body had amazed her. It was so pristine and sexy. The sweat collecting on it now only heightened its appeal. God how she wanted him to strip her naked and rub his solid and rock hard form against hers.

So you see, they're not together and Troy still hasn't come running back to you.

Lindsey closed her eyes as she shook Sharpay's words from her head. She opened her eyes and looked back at Troy, "we'll see about that?" she said to herself.

"Um, I'm going to take a shower" she announced as she began to leave the room.

"Okay, I'll try to hurry."

Lindsey shook her head and gave him a smile, "it's fine Troy, really"

Lindsey entered the bathroom and started her shower. She stripped naked and stepped in, letting the water cover every inch of her body. She shaved herself clean and made sure to touch every inch of her skin with the fragrant she knew Troy loved.

She stepped out of the shower shortly after. She ran a brush through her long wet blonde hair and wrapped a short tan towel around her semi-wet and nude body. She took a deep breath and strutted out of the bathroom and into the den.

Troy felt a presence enter the room. His head perked up and his eyes grew wide as his face began to blush, "um," he said as he turned around.

Lindsey laughed, "Come on Troy, it's nothing you haven't seen before"

Troy sighed, "yeah, but it doesn't seem right now"

Lindsey giggled, "relax, I just got hot and wanted a glass of water"

Troy nodded in understanding, his back still to her.

Lindsey filled her glass and took a sip of the ice cold water, "Troy, you can stop acting like a shy boy, you've licked chocolate off of me several times. I think modesty is a time of the past"

Troy let out a frustrated sigh, "I know, I would just rather you get dressed Lindsey"

Lindsey smirked and walked over to him and stood in front of him. She took another sip of her water and ran her tongue against her lips, licking the new moisture that had formed as she stared into his eyes, "why is that Troy?"

Troy stared at her, "Lindsey"

Lindsey took a step closer to him, "yes Troy"

Troy swallowed, "please go get dressed"

Lindsey ran her hand down his light blue moist cut off sleeve shirt, "are you tempted Troy?"

Troy stiffened at her touch.

Lindsey moved her hand south to graze his crotch, "Mmm, I know what he likes"

"Lindsey go get dressed before…"

"Before what Troy? Before you bend me over the couch and fuck me like I want, like you want," she said as she dropped the towel.

Troy's eyes widen as he took in her naked form.

"We can move past this baby, remember the good times," she said softly as she reached up on her toes and kissed his lips.

Troy took a step backward as he brought his hand to his lips, "Get dressed Lindsey" he said sternly.

Lindsey's eyes widen, "are you serious?" she said full of shock.

Troy nodded, "yes"

Lindsey felt tears forming in her eyes as anger, embarrassment and sadness overtook her. She picked up the towel and wrapped it around her body.

"I'm going to go. I think I will have Chad get the rest of my belongings," he said as he tried to head for the door.

Lindsey reached for his arm, "Troy, wait"

Troy stopped, but kept his back to her.

"It's really over?"

Troy nodded in sorrow.

Lindsey felt like someone was stabbing her in the gut.

"Even if Gabriella wasn't in the picture?"

Troy felt like someone was clenching his gut in their fist as he nodded again.

Lindsey swallowed, "are you together?" she asked trying to find her voice

Troy turned around to face her and shook her head, "no, she won't have it." He said sadly.

"You really love her?" Lindsey asked as if in pain.

Troy nodded and met Lindsey's gaze, "so much….I'm sorry Lindsey, really I am"

Lindsey looked into his sorrow filled eyes and took a deep breath. Everything hit her like a ton of bricks. She knew it was over with Troy, but it wasn't till this moment that it fully registered. It was over. They would no longer be Troy and Lindsey, Lindsey and Troy. They would no longer have six hour movie night. Make love till dawn. He would no longer be the man to hold her purse while she tried on clothes at the mall. He would no longer be…. hers.

Troy sucked on his bottom lip, "I'm going go, okay?"

Lindsey nodded.

Troy went to leave.

"Troy," Lindsey called out.

Troy turned to face her, "yeah"

"I'll talk to her"

Troy's eyes sparkled, but showed shock, "What? Why?"

Lindsey sighed, "Because I love you"
