Keeping a Secret
Hickeys and Hotness
Rating: Teen
The next morning Troy woke up in the same position he had fallen asleep in. He looked down to the beautiful girl that was draped across his chest and smiled. He looked over to the clock, it was 9:45, Oh shit! We are meeting everybody in 15 minutes.
"Gabi," he whispered and she didn't move, "Gabi," he said a little louder.
"What," she groaned.
"We have to get up," he replied.
"No I want to stay here," she whined and hugged him tigher.
"Me too, but we are meeting everyone in 15 minutes," he said and she popped up.
"Oh my god!" she jumped out of bed and changed back into her clothes. Troy slowly got out of the bed. "I am gonna run to my house and change, I will meet you out front in 10 minutes," she said. She started to walk out the door when he grabbed her hand.
"Wait," he pulled her towards him and passionately kissed her. She pulled away and they both lightly laughed. Smiling, Gabriella ran next door to her house, changed, fixed her hair, and put some make-up on. Ten minutes later she walked outside and Troy was waiting for her.
He looked her up and down, "You clean up well."
She smiled, "Shut up, lets go." They drove to IHOP and saw their friends waiting for them.
"Hey guys," Gabi said getting out of the car. They all said their hellos and they went and sat down.
"So what do…" Sharpay started, "Oh my god! Gabi what is that on your neck!" Everybody looked up from the menus and stared at her. Oh my god! I was rushing so much I didn't notice the hickey that Troy had given me last night! Taylor grabbed Gabriella's hair and pulled it away so she could see.
"Gabi! You have a hickey!" Taylor exclaimed. She is going to kill me.
"Who have you been hooking up with!" Ryan said protectively.
"Why didn't you tell us!" Sharpay exclaimed.
They all said this so fast that Gabi couldn't get a word in.
"Guys! Calm down! It is from my curling iron!" she exclaimed. Nice save Gabi. Troy thought.
"So you aren't hooking up with anyone?" Kelsi asked.
"No," she replied. She wanted to say yes so badly but she knew it would turn out badly.
"So we don't have to kill any guys?" Ryan asked and she rolled her eyes.
"No you don't, so what are we doing today?" she said desperately trying to change the subject.
"It is so hot out, why don't we go to the country club that me and Sharpay belong to and go swimming," Ryan replied.
"I like it," Troy said.
The rest of the table agreed.
They left the restaurant to go pick up there bathing suits and then meet up at the club. Gabriella and Troy went and got in his car. Once in his car Gabriella hit him on the back of his head.
"Ow!"
"I am going to kill you!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean too!"
"Yes you did!" she exclaimed
"Ok maybe I did," he said.
"I could kill you and your f-ing neck fetish," she said and he laughed.
"You know you are pretty hot when you're mad," he said looking at her.
"Shut up."
They went and got their bathing suits then went swimming for hours. They ate lunch at the club and then it started to get dark.
"Hey guys, why don't we change, then go to the mall and get some dinner," Sharpay said.
They all nodded and gave positive responses. The guys and girls went into their respective changing rooms.
GUYS CHANGING ROOM
"So guys, I might sound crazy saying this," Chad said.
"What else is new," Troy responded and Chad glared at him, Zeke and Ryan laughed.
"Is it just me or has Gabi gotten really hot," he finished. Besides the fact that that is the understatement of the century, you did not just say that about my girlfriend.
"No dude, it is not just you, like she was always really pretty," Zeke said,
"Yeah," Chad and Ryan said in unison.
"But her in that bikini, wow," he finished. Once again understatement of the century and you did not just go there.
"Let's just say she has grown up very nicely," Ryan said and Zeke and Chad laughed.
"Troy? Have you noticed?" Chad asked.
Everyday of my life. "I guess," he shrugged.
GIRLS CHANGING ROOM
"Ok I know Troy is like my brother," Sharpay said and all the girls looked at her, "and you might think I am crazy for saying this…"
"But he has gotten really hot," Taylor said finishing her sentence. No one talks about my boyfriend like that.
"Yeah! Thank god I am not the only one who noticed!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"Oh you are definitely not," Kelsi said, "like did you see his body?"
"How could you not! Like damn!" Taylor exclaimed. You have got to be kidding me.
"Gabi, have you noticed?" Sharpay asked.
"Umm, yeah, I guess," she replied.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Troy was sitting in his room reading Sports Illustrated when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door to find Gabriella there. Without saying a word she passionately kissed him.
"Way to get to the point there Gabs," he said pulling away.
"Well seeing that body of yours today, I couldn't really help myself," she said smiling and he lightly laughed.
"Well if you wanna put that bikini back on I will certainly be fine with that," he responded. She kissed him again and started to push him towards his bed. He fell back on the bed and she crawled on top of him.
"I thought you wanted to kill me," he said.
"Yeah, I got over that pretty quickly, so will you just shut up," she said and she bent down and kissed him, they continued making out and she started to un-button his shirt.
"Whoa, Gabs, since when were you so…forceful?" he asked, shocked. She rolled off of him and lay next to him.
"Since the girls said that you looked hot today without a shirt on," she mumbled and he raised his eyebrows.
"Huh, well the boys said that you have been lookin pretty damn good lately too, especially in that bikini," he said and she blushed.
"Sooo I guess it makes sense that we are together," she said smiling and he laughed.
"Don't worry those girls are like my sisters, and the guys are like your brothers, they will never come between us," he said.
"Yeah," she replied.
"Oh and btw I really don't mind you being forceful," he said.
"Shut up," she replied hitting his arm. She laid her head on his chest and he started to play with her hair, they just laid there in silence.
"Troy?"
"Yeah hun."
"Do you think our relationship is just physical?"
"What are you talking about Gabs? We talk all the time."
"Yeah, I know. But we talk as like best friends, never really as a couple." She said turning her head towards him.
"That's because we are best friends Gab. This is relatively knew so we are unused to it because we have been so close for so long," he replied in a caring manner.
"Yeah," she sighed.
"Get up, I want to show you something," he said and she sat up.
"What? It is past midnight," she said looking confused.
"Yeah what is your point? It is summer break and neither of our parents are home, so put on your shoes and grab my sweatshirt," he said.
"Troy!"
"Gabi, just trust me." He held her hand and led her out of the house. They got into his car and drove for about 20 minutes.
"Troy where are we going!"
"What did I say?"
"Gabs trust me," she mocked him.
"Yes, and do you?"
"It depends what day it is," she said deadpan. He glared at her and she laughed.
"Here we are," Troy said.
"Troy why are we at a park?" she asked and he looked at her, "Yeah, yeah trust."
"Thank you, now lets go," he grabbed her hand and led her through the park.
"Oh my god," Gabi said when they reached the lake. The moon reflected off the lake and the sky was filled with stars.
"Didn't I tell you to trust me," he said.
"Yeah yeah," they both laughed.
"Come on," he grabbed her hand and led her on to the dock. They sat down and put their feet in the water, and just talked for a while.
"We should get going it is getting late," he said getting up.
"Yeah," she said and also got up. His back was facing the water and she leaned to kiss him, but pushed him instead.
"Oh you are coming with me," he said grabbing her at the last second. She screamed as they hit the water.
"Its absolutely freezing!" She exclaimed.
"It is your fault," he said grabbing her then pulling her down.
"Troy!" she said when they came up for air and he laughed.
"Sorry, it was just really tempting, but now we really have to go." They both got out of the water and stood on the dock.
"Our relationship is in no way purely physically, I love you too much." He said and she kissed him.
