(A.N. Just a quick note, sorry I haven't been posting as much. I have a really busy few weeks (well 2 months) ahead with assessments and the like so there may be bit longer of a wait between chapters. I'll try to upload as much as I can but this is just a pre-warning that the uploading of chapters for The Power Of Love as well as Important Moments may be delayed in the next few weeks. Anyway hope you're enjoying the story and let me know what you think or what you'd like to happen xx)

When they got up to the rooftop, Troy immediately pulled Gabriella onto his lap and leant his head against her shoulder. "I can't believe this just happened, I should've just come up here instead of waiting at your locker, then Sophie wouldn't have been able to cause this mess."

Gabriella played with the back of his hair. "Don't beat yourself up about it Wildcat, if anything, it's my fault. I overreacted without even getting your side of the story first and I -"

"You had a right to react the way you did, I know it would kill me if the roles had been reversed. I mean this in the most respectful way possible, I like that I'm your first everything. That every new thing in our relationship is a first for you and you're learning it from me. I like that I'm the only one who gets to hold you like this." He moved his hand so his thumb rubbed over her bottom lip. "Or that I'm the only one you've ever kissed. You don't have to apologise for your reaction Sweetheart, it was completely valid and I PROMISE you that nothing like this will EVER happen again."

Gabriella cuddled into his chest. "I love you so much."

"I love you more."

She shook her head. "Uh uh not possible."

He started tickling her. "Uh huh possible, I love you more than anything Baby." When he stopped, the air changed and his gaze drifted down to her lips before reconnecting with hers, asking for permission. She nodded slightly and placed one hand on her cheek before leaning in, keeping his other hand on her hip. Their lips connected and Troy gently controlled the kiss. This time when Gabriella felt his tongue touch her lower lip, she didn't tense and opened to allow him to take the kiss further. She adjusted herself on his lap so that she was straddling him and moved her arms to wrap around his neck. The hand that was on her hip dipped under her shirt to caress the tan skin, the actions making Gabriella fall further into the kiss.

When air became an issue, they pulled apart and Gabriella leant her forehead against his shoulder, a pink flush spreading across her cheeks. "Wow."

He chuckled softly and moved the hair from her face. "Why are you blushing?" When she only shrugged in response, he kissed her forehead. "You don't have to be embarrassed Baby, you were great." He said, caressing her skin from its place under her shirt before he realised where it was placed. He started to remove his hand from under her shirt but she stilled his movements.

"You don't have to move your hand, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Is it ok with you?" She nodded in response. "Do you like it?"

"Yeah, I don't really know why, it just feels good, having your hand -" She realised the possible implications of her statement and blushed red, making Troy chuckle and kiss her head.

"You're so cute Brie." She pouted in response to that, making him grin more. "What? You are. You're adorable Baby."

"My boyfriend thinks I'm cute? Cute and adorable are ways I would describe my five year old sisters. Being 15 and getting called cute by my boyfriend doesn't exactly assure me of our relationship."

He shook his head slightly and smiled at her. "We just made out on the rooftop and you're 'not exactly assured' of our relationship. Come on Baby, you are cute but you're also incredibly beautiful, kind, bright and the best girlfriend ever."

She pecked his lips. "Well you're the most handsome and talented guy I've ever met and you're the best boyfriend I could've asked for."

"I love you Baby."

"I love you Wildcat."
