"Hey guys," an afro-American boy smiled as the two teenagers came running up to him and his girlfriend.
"Hey man," Troy chuckled.
"Hi big bro," Gabriella giggled and hugged Chad.
"Hey little sis," Chad chuckled.
"Hi sunshine," Taylor smiled.
"Hi Tay," Troy smiled.
"Hi girl," Gabriella smiled and hugged her.
"So, basketball, huh?" Troy smiled at Gabriella.
"Yeah, I thought it could be fun," Gabriella smiled.
"Of course it will be fun, babe," Troy smiled and kissed her.
"Let the game begin then," Chad chuckled and threw the ball to Troy, who caught it.
"Game on," Troy chuckled, "come on babe, try a shoot," Troy gave Gabriella the ball.
Gabriella shot and scored, "like that?" she giggled.
"Exactly," Troy and Chad chuckled.
"Now Tay," Chad smiled at his girlfriend, who he gave the ball, she missed, "try like this," Chad smiled and help his girlfriend holding the ball right and then he helped her shoot, and then she scored. "Great babe," Chad smiled and kissed her cheek.
The four teenagers played for an hour and then they decided to go get an ice-cream.
"Don't," Troy smiled at Gabriella as she was about to take some money out of her pocket.
"Why?" Gabriella asked confused.
"I'll pay for you babe," Troy smiled and handed the man behind the disk the money for his and Gabriella's ice-creams.
"Well, thank you baby," Gabriella smiled and kissed Troy softly as they walked to the bench and sat down.
A little later Chad and Taylor sat down beside them.
Troy took some of his ice and put in on his spoon and held it out to Gabriella, "taste," Troy chuckled, and Gabriella took his spoon and tasted the ice.
"Mmmh, not bad," Gabriella giggled and did the same with her ice, but to Troy.
"Not bad either," Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella.
They finished their ice-creams and then they decided to go home to Gabriella's place.
At Gabriella's place.
"So what are we doing now?" Troy asked as they sat down in the living room.
Gabriella sat down beside Troy and Troy wrapped his arm around her.
"We could have a movie night, well, tonight…" Chad smiled.
"Yeah, that could be fun," Gabriella smiled, "it's a long time since we had one of those movie nights," Gabriella giggled.
"Well, that's a plan for tonight then," Troy chuckled.
"Yeah, and then what about now?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know," Gabriella giggled.
"Where are we staying for the movie night?" Chad asked.
"We could be here," Gabriella smiled.
"Okay, that's fine with me," Taylor smiled.
"Yeah, me too," Chad chuckled.
"And I'm in too, just as long as I have my girl with me I'm going everywhere," Troy chuckled and hugged Gabriella from the side.
"That's a good thing," Taylor giggled.
"Yeah," Chad smiled, "well, then we probably should go home to my place to get our things since we are staying here for the night," Chad chuckled.
"Yeah, you should," Gabriella smiled.
Taylor and Chad left for Chad's place to get their things for the movie night.
Troy and Gabriella were sitting in the living room talking about a lot of things, laughing and just enjoying each other's company as Michael and Maria got home.
"Hi," Maria smiled as she entered the living room.
"Hi," Gabriella and Troy smiled.
"So what's up today?" Michael asked as he reached his wife in the living room.
"We are having a movie night with Chad and Tay in my room tonight," Gabriella smiled, "so nothing much beside that."
"It sounds like fun," Michael smiled, "do you have everything you need for it, sweetie?"
"Yeah, popcorn, candy, soda, food for Chad and movies, that's about it, so I think we have what we need, daddy," Gabriella smiled.
"Good, but let me know, if you need anything, right?" Maria smiled at the two teenagers, who were sitting at the couch.
"Yeah, thanks Maria," Troy smiled.
"So what are you going to watch tonight?" Michael asked as he sat down in the armchair across the coffee table.
"We haven't decided yet," Gabriella smiled.
"Oh, so it's going to be like every time you and Chad had those movie nights, "I don't want to see that one, but this one…" "No I don't want to see that!"" Michael chuckled.
"Yeah, but I think we can agree a little bit easier now," Gabriella giggled.
Troy and Gabriella went upstairs to make Gabriella's room ready for the movie night, after putting a lot of pillows, blankets, and madras' on the floor and in the bed, they laid down at the bed, "so what do you want to do now?" Troy asked, wrapping his arm around Gabriella.
"Just be with you," Gabriella smiled and kissed Troy softly.
Troy smiled at her, "Well, you are with me, baby."
Gabriella smiled, "Yeah, I am, but that's all I want to be my boy," Gabriella rested her head at Troy's chest.
Troy smiled and kissed the top of her head, "you are crazy babe."
Gabriella giggled as Troy caressed her back slowly.
They were lying there for a while, in a comfortable silence, there was not any need to say anything – they could do everything and nothing together.
"Bella?" Troy asked still stroking her back. Gabriella did not answer, "Bella baby?" Troy tried, but still no answer.
"Gabriella?" Troy chuckled, but there was not any answer either.
Troy slowly pulled away from her, and saw that she was asleep, "oh," Troy smiled to himself and laid a blanket over his girlfriend and kissed her hair and then went downstairs to the kitchen, where Maria was making dinner.
"Hi Troy," Maria smiled as he entered the kitchen.
"Hi," Troy smiled, "do you need any help?"
"No thanks," Maria smiled and realized that Gabriella was not with him, "where is Gabby?"
"She fell asleep, while we were lying in the bed, so I let her sleep," Troy smiled.
"Oh, okay," Maria smiled.
"Are you sure you don't need help, Maria?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure, Troy, but if you really want to help, then you can set the table," Maria smiled.
"I'll do that," Troy chuckled and started to lay the table.
Troy enjoyed the fact that he actually could talk with his parents-in-law. Back in New York he had only met them, said "hi" and "goodbye" to them or had some really small, not saying anything, conversations with those parents-in-law, but now he had Maria and Michael, and they were always asking him, how he was, or just talking with him, and he liked it.
After Troy had set the table, Maria asked him to wake up Gabriella, so that they could eat.
Troy went upstairs and into Gabriella's room and slowly shook her, "baby, wake up," Troy said as he pulled away the blanket, but Gabriella did not open her eyes, she just mumbled something, which Troy did not understand.
"Bella wake up," Troy chuckled.
"No," Gabriella giggled as she opened her eyes.
"I got you," Troy chuckled.
"Ugh, you are so mean, babe," she smiled at him and sat up.
"I know, babe, I'm sorry," Troy chuckled, "but your mom asked me to go get you, so that we could eat," Troy smiled and took her hand and helped her out of the bed.
"So it's my mom who is the mean," Gabriella giggled.
"I guess so," Troy smiled as they walked down the stairs.
"Mom!" Gabriella exclaimed, making her mom almost jump, because she got scared.
"Oh, honey, don't ever do that again!" Maria laughed as she held a hand over her chest.
"I'm sorry mom," Gabriella giggled and went to her mom and hugged her.
"It's okay, sweetie," Maria smiled, "but why was you almost yelling at me?"
"You made Troy go wake me up," Gabriella giggled, "and I had an amazing dream!"
Maria smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry about that."
Troy smiled and wrapped his arms around Gabriella from behind as Maria placed the last things at the table, "what was your dream about then?" Troy whispered to her.
"You," Gabriella giggled and rested her head against Troy's shoulder.
"Tell me about it later, right?" Troy chuckled.
"Okay then," Gabriella smiled.
"If you two lovebirds have time to eat, then we are eating now," Maria smiled as she and Michael sat down at the table.
Troy and Gabriella laughed, "Sorry about that," and then they sat down to eat.
"Uhm, this looks delicious, mom," Gabriella smiled at her mom.
"Yeah, it sure does," Michael smiled.
Gabriella smiled at her parents, after they both had cut their work down, her parents had fell in love all over again, they were smiling a lot now, and it was like seeing two teenagers in love – just in two older bodies.
After dinner Maria and Michael did the dishes together, and Troy and Gabriella went upstairs to wait for Chad and Taylor.
"So the dream," Troy chuckled and wrapped his arms around Gabriella's waist and pulled her down at the bed with him.
Gabriella giggled, "It was just about you and me, having fun in the park, just the two of us," Gabriella smiled and kissed Troy's cheek.
Troy smiled; "we should do that one day," Troy chuckled.
"Yeah, we should," Gabriella smiled and rested her chin at Troy's chest, so that she was looking up at him.
Troy smiled and stroked her over the hair, "I love you babe," Troy said.
"I love you too, babe," Gabriella smiled. Gabriella's phone beeped, she had got a message, "could you tell me, who it's from babe?" Gabriella asked Troy.
"Sure," Troy took the phone and looked at the display, "Chad," he chuckled and gave the phone to her.
Gabriella giggled and opened the messages, "we are on our way now (: ", the message said, and Gabriella read it out loud.
"Great, then we can go make the popcorn ready," Troy smiled.
Gabriella stood up, "yeah, let's go."
The two teenagers went downstairs to the kitchen, where Maria and Michael were sitting as they talked and drank coffee.
"Hi mom," Gabriella smiled, "hi dad."
Gabriella found the popcorn for the microwave oven and started making them.
"You guys can take ice-cream in the freezer, if you want to," Michael smiled, "there's chocolate, blackberry, caramel and strawberry."
Gabriella and Troy smiled, "thanks Michael," Troy said as he took out the bag of popcorn, so that Gabriella could start a new one.
As she started the new bag, the doorbell rang, and Chad and Taylor stepped in, "Hey, we have arrived," Chad chuckled.
"We are in the kitchen, big bro," Gabriella called, and Taylor and Chad went to the kitchen.
"Hi," Chad smiled and hugged Gabriella and made a handshake with Troy.
"Hi Chad," Maria smiled.
"Hi Maria," Chad smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi man," Michael chuckled.
"Hey," Chad chuckled.
"Hi sunshine," Taylor smiled and hugged Gabriella.
"Hi girl," Gabriella smiled and hugged her back.
"Hi Tay," Maria and Michael smiled.
"Hi," Taylor smiled and hugged them.
"So ready for a movie night?" Chad asked as he stood beside Troy.
"Sure man," Troy chuckled.
"Great," Chad smiled and wrapped his arms around Taylor.
"And now our popcorn are done," Gabriella smiled and poured them in a bowl.
"Let's get this movie night started," Chad chuckled.
"Yeah," Gabriella giggled and handed him one of the two bowls.
"We'll be upstairs if you need us," Gabriella smiled to her parents and with that the four teenagers went upstairs.
"So what are we watching first?" Chad asked as he sat down at the madras' at the floor.
"Bedtimes stories," Gabriella giggled and put it in the DVD player.
"Great," Taylor giggled and sat down beside Chad. Gabriella and Troy sat down in the bed, and Gabriella pressed play.
In the beginning of the movie…
The story-teller: Is everyone seated? And sitting comfortable? Anyone who needs to pee?
"Me!" Chad chuckled.
The story-teller: Yeah, you in the back, well, you have to wait, 'cause now the story is about to start.
The four teenagers laughed.
"Okay that was spooky," Chad said as he wrapped his arm around Taylor, who cuddled up to him.
"Yeah, it was," Gabriella giggled and cuddled up to Troy, who wrapped his arm around her and laid the blanket over them. Troy stroked Gabriella's waist with one hand and used the other hand to grab some popcorn.
"What's next?" Chad asked when "Bedtimes stories" had ended.
"A horror film," Troy chuckled.
"Yeah," Gabriella giggled. She loved watching horror movies, but she hated it afterwards, but tonight both Chad and Troy would be there, so she had not anything to be scared of.
Chad took out a DVD from his bag, "What about this one?" he held the DVD up so that Troy and Gabriella could see what it was.
"No, Chad!" Gabriella said trying to be serious, but it was hard, because she knew it was only a movie.
"Oh come on, little sis," Chad smiled, "we'll be here to protect you – even though nothing is going to happen," Chad said as he looked up at them.
"Fine!" Gabriella mumbled, "but I want ice-cream first!" Gabriella said and crawled out of the bed.
"Yeah, me too," Troy chuckled and followed Gabriella and wrapped his arms around Gabriella and picked her up, "got you" Troy chuckled and kissed her neck.
"Trooooy!" Gabriella giggled as he carried her down the stairs with Chad and Taylor following them.
"Sorry babe," Troy smiled, "I couldn't help myself," Troy said as he sat her down and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly.
"It's okay then," Gabriella giggled.
"Okay, break it up lovebirds," Chad exclaimed, "I want ice-cream!" Chad said as if he was a little kid wanting candy.
"Oh, the little boy wants ice-cream," Gabriella giggled and shook his cheek, knowing Chad hated it, when she did that.
"I'm not a little boy!" Chad said and stumped his food in the floor.
"Well, girl then," Gabriella giggled and went to the kitchen.
"Hey!" Chad exclaimed and the three others laughed.
"Sorry big bro," Gabriella giggled as she took out the ice-cream from the freezer.
"Whatever," Chad chuckled.
"Mom? Dad?" Gabriella called from the kitchen.
"Yeah, sweetie?" her dad called back from the living room.
"Come out in the kitchen and eat some ice-cream with us," Gabriella smiled as she stuck her head through the doorway.
"Okay, we are coming sweetie," her mom said.
Troy laid some bowls at the table for the ice and then he took some spoons from the drawer and placed them at the table. Maria and Michael entered the kitchen and sat down to eat the ice-cream with the four teenagers.
"So what are you going to watch next?" Michael asked smiling at them.
"Prom night," Chad chuckled and smiled at Gabriella, who stuck out her tongue making him laugh.
"What is it with that movie?" Troy chuckled as he took a spoon of his ice-cream.
"Last time Gabster saw it, she was scared of going anywhere alone, even to the toilet," Chad chuckled.
"It wasn't funny Chad!" Gabriella exclaimed.
Troy smiled, "I'll go with you anywhere, babe," Troy said and looked at Gabriella.
"You better," Gabriella giggled and finished her ice-cream.
"Why?" Troy chuckled.
"Because I say so," Gabriella smiled and pushed away her bowl, "I'm full," she said and sat back relaxing.
"Me too," Troy smiled and sat back in his chair and rested his arm behind Gabriella.
Chad was the last one to finish his ice-cream, like he always was, and then Maria and Michael said, that they could go upstairs and continue their movie night, and then they would do the dishes.
The four teenagers went upstairs to Gabriella's room and Chad put on the DVD, and sat down with Taylor, who cuddled up to him and he held her tight.
Taylor was afraid of those horror movies, or afterwards she was, just like Gabriella loved to watch them, but afterwards she hated them.
Gabriella cuddled up to Troy, and Troy held her tight, so that she could feel, that he was there with her no matter what, he laid the blanket over them and Gabriella pulled it up, so that it was almost covering her face, it was clear that she was not happy with that movie.
Troy caressed her waist and whispered, "are you okay babe?"
Gabriella nodded against his chest, and took his free hand and he intertwined their fingers. Troy kissed her hair and he could feel that Gabriella started to relax a little bit.
In the middle of the movie, Gabriella was all under the blanket, and Troy was holding her tight,
"Chad, I think we should stop now," Troy sighed, "Bella is all under the blanket, and I don't think, she likes this anymore," Troy caressed Gabriella's stomach.
"I'll stop it then," Chad said and pressed the "stop" button.
Gabriella peaked out from under the blanket, "thanks," she sighed and pushed away the blanket.
"Are you okay little sis?" Chad asked looking concerned at Gabriella.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but please, never let me watch that again!" Gabriella sighed and cuddled up to Troy again.
Troy could feel that Gabriella was scared, so he held her even tighter, if that was possible, and whispered, "Babe, it's okay, I'm here, and nothing is going to happen."
Gabriella nodded and inhaled Troy's scent, which always made her relax, just a little bit. Troy caressed her waist, knowing it helped her to relax.
Chad and Taylor smiled at the view, they were happy to see their best friend feeling safe in a boy's arms.
"We should go to bed now," Chad said looking at Taylor.
"Yeah, we should," she smiled, "I'll go change in the bathroom, and then you can go after me," she smiled and pecked Chad's lips and then she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
"Man, is she alright?" Chad asked concerned after looking at Gabriella, who had not moved for a few minutes.
Troy looked down at his girlfriend and smiled, "she is fine," Troy looked at Chad, "she is fast asleep, so I think, I'll just take of her clothes and give her my shirt on, and then it will be fine for her."
Chad nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom now," he said as Taylor came into the room again.
"Okay," Troy smiled, "Tay, could you please help me hold Bella, I need to take of her jeans so that she doesn't sleep in them," Troy looked at Taylor.
"Uh, sure," Taylor smiled, but it was a little awkward for her to take of her best friends jeans, but she helped Troy with it, and then Troy gave her his shirt on, and then laid down with her, and let her sleep in his arms.
