Again, to thank you all for reviewing!
"What are you both doing to my horse?"
Startled, both of them whipped their head around to see a man standing with his arm crossed across his chest was staring at them both.
Gabriella turned around to look at Troy nervously, she felt surprised when she saw a small smirk on his face.
"Uncle, this is my horse remember? You gave it to me on my 14th birthday. And we weren't doing anything to Beau." He said,his smirk turned into a grin when the man smiled at him.
"I know, but I just thought it would be fun to scare your girlfriend." The man who Gabriella thinks was Troy's uncle said with a chuckle.
Gabriella was going to say that she's not his girlfriend but on second thought she didn't, she's actually a little tired of explaining to people that she's not Troy's girlfriend, and she probably wouldn't see him anymore after today, anyway. And she don't think he'll believe it since they both just kissed.
Troy laughed along with his uncle before they both walked up to him.
Stopping just in front of him, Troy extended his arm to introduce them to each other.
"Uncle, this is Gabriella..." He said to his Uncle before saying to Gabriella.
"Gabriella, this is my uncle, George."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." Gabriella said while shaking his hand.
"Please call me George." He said with a smile. "You're one pretty young lady. Troy must be very lucky to have you as his girlfriend."
Troy chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck nervously before taking a peek at Gabriella, waiting for her to say that they're not a couple.
Even though she said nothing, but she looked extremely uncomfortable being called Troy's girlfriend and being stared by George. Troy quickly turn to George and asked. "How are you these days?"
"Good like always, how about you? You're still the captain of the basketball team?"
"Yeah, dad is working us hard to win the upcoming game."
"Speaking about Jack, how's he?"
"Never been better..."
Gabriella watched as both of them began to chat like they're old friends, after a few minutes she's starting to get impatient. She wanted to get back on the horse! But it would be rude if she interrupt while they were talking to tell Troy she wanna ride.
So instead, she sneaked up towards the horse slowly so that Troy won't notice it. She knew that he told her not to ride it alone, but how hard could riding be?
When she reached the horse, she stroked him before setting her foot on the stirrups.
Okay, on three I'll swing myself up. She thought
One
Two
Three! While she was getting on the horse, her right foot accidently slapped Beau's butt which sent him galloping ahead. She let out a shriek when she felt that she was slipping from the horse.
She closed her eyes, ready to feel the pain when her body met the sandy ground. But instead of the hard and sandy ground, her back met a warm and comfortable surface.
She opened her eyes slowly and her eyes met the beautiful blue eyes. That's when she knew that Troy saved her by catching her bridal style.
"Hehe..." She smiled sheepishly when Troy looked at her angrily.
"Haven't you heard a word I said?" He growled in a low voice. "I told you not to ride the horse alone."
Guilt washed over her face when she said. "Sorry... You were talking to your uncle and it's very rude to interrupt you both so I thought that I might as well ride myself since it didn't look that hard when you were riding..."
She said not looking into his eyes instead she was staring at her finger which was drawing unknown patterns on his chest. His face softened before he said. "You could be hurt, seriously hurt."
"I'm not hurt now am I?" She asked with a small smile.
"That's because I caught you. What if I didn't?" He asked, both of them didn't noticed about the fact that Troy can actually put Gabriella on the ground, but instead he was still carrying her.
"You wouldn't not catch me Troy. I knew that, I'm too cute to be hurt." She said with a cheeky grin before placing her chin on his chest while looking at him.
Troy couldn't help but smiled before extending his arms to place her on the horse. He then turned to George when he heard him said.
"I might as well leave you two have fun, I'm going inside." George said before giving Troy a smile.
Please review!
