Chapter 38

The next morning, Gabriella woke up feeling confused as she looked around at the unfamiliar room. All the events of the nights before came rushing back and brought a smile to her face as she turned to face Troy. She cuddles closer to him causing him to stir.

"Well hello Miss Montez." Troy said opening his eyes as Gabriella smiled.

"Hey." Troy leaned down and kissed her. The kiss deepened as Troy twisted so that he was straddling her. He moved down her neck and kissed her softly between her breasts. Gabriella moaned as he bit down softly with his teeth. He moved his head back up to kiss her on the mouth as his fingers slid within her, plunging inside, and then out, over and over again. As the kiss grew more passionate, the pleasure rising, he pulled out completely. He reached for a condom from the bedside table, slipping it on as she guided him in, crying out softly as he thrust in slow and deep. Troy groaned as her hips started to move with his rhythm. She gripped his shoulders tightly as she came, shaking as waves of pleasure went through her whole body. Troy collapsed against her body kissing her softly before pulling out. As she snuggled back into his side he sighed in exhaustion. Gabriella was about to speak when Gabriella's cell rang. She quickly leaned down to get her purse and pulled her cell out.

"Hello?" She answered as Troy wrapped his arms round her from behind listening to her phone as well.

"Gabriella Montez when I said don't come home too early I did mean that night or at least a phone call to tell me you weren't coming home." Troy and Gabriella smiled as Anna's annoyed voice came out the speaker.

"Sorry mom. Actually you didn't say how early I wasn't allowed to come home and I'm 23 so you can't tell me what to do." Gabriella told her as Troy shook his head.

"Gabriella I'm not mad. I just wish you had called. Please tell you are still with Troy and you haven't stayed out on your own the whole night?" Gabriella rolled her eyes at her mom's concern. "Gabriella!"

"Yes mom I'm at Troy's and I'll be back later. Bye." Gabriella hung up before her mom got chance to speak.

"You ok?" Troy asked as Gabriella turned to face him.

"I'm fine it's just I wish my mom would trust me more. She thinks that just because I still live with her while I save up for my own place she can tell me what to do." Gabriella explained as Troy pushed her hair off her face.

"Well I have a solution to your problem. Come and live with me. Simple. I want to be with you forever. I want to wake up next to you every morning and go to bed with you every night. We both want to be together and you need somewhere to go without having to worry about anything." Gabriella looked at Troy shocked at his offer.

"You would want me to move in with you?" She asked and he nodded.

"Gabi you know you want to so just say yes before I do something to make you say yes." Gabriella smiled.

"Yes." Troy grinned as he leaned down and kissed her.

"Well we better get up so we can get you home so you can come back later. I want you to move in ASAP." Troy told her.

"You do know our mothers won't be happy about us being on our own with no one around." Gabriella smiled.

"Well they will have to get used to it because I want to be alone with you." Gabriella pulled him back into a kiss before pulling away.

"Come on lover boy. I need food and then we have to break the news to our parents." Gabriella got out of the bed and started getting dressed.

A few hours later, Troy and Gabriella had told their parents their plans and surprisingly they weren't too surprised. Troy had taken some of Gabriella's stuff back to his house mid afternoon because he had something he needed to plan and told Gabriella to come back later with more stuff.

"Gabriella?" Gabriella looked up from her stuff she was going through to see her mom standing at her door smiling. She nodded for her to come in. Anna sat on the edge of the bed next to Gabriella. "Are you happy Gabriella?" Gabriella looked at her mom confused. "I just want to know."

"More that I ever thought I could be." Gabriella told her. "I don't know why but whenever I'm with Troy its like everything else doesn't matter. And when we split I thought it was the right thing and yeah it was but I missed Troy so much and whenever any guy asked me out I couldn't stop thinking about what if Troy was here. I want to be with him mom and I know he will look after me." Gabriella reassured her mom.

"I know he will. He's good for you Gabriella. Don't forget that. I'm going to miss you but at least you will be closer than when you were in New York." Gabriella smiled as she hugged her mom.

"I love you mom." Gabriella whispered.

"I love you too sweetie. Now lets get packing the rest of your stuff up and get you to your man's place." Anna said pulling away.

Gabriella drove to Troy's house and grabbed the two bags of clothes she had. She pulled the key out that Troy had given her earlier. Opening the door, she was surprised to see the house in pitch black apart from a small flickering of light coming from another room. Gabriella headed towards where the light was, leaving her bags by the door. Pushing the door that was slightly open fully open, Gabriella gasped as she looked at the room around. The room was filled with candles and written on the floor in white roses was 'will you marry me?' and Troy down on one knee, with a ring, behind it.

"What do you say?" Troy asked. Gabriella was speechless and so overwhelmed that she could only manage to nod as tears sparkled in her eyes. Troy smiled as he got up and placed the ring on her finger before kissing her. "I love you." Troy whispered as she smiled.

"I love you too Troy Bolton." Troy grinned as he picked her up and swung her round.
