Feelings of the Heart

Chapter 6- This Is It

I completed my outfit with yellow hoops and flats. It was 5:45 PM and Troy as going to pick Taylor and I up at my house.

"Ready?" I asked Taylor. We did each other's nails and hair. I was wearing that yellow tube top and jeans that I got at Abercrombie and Fitch. Taylor was wearing the sweater she got over a white camisole and jeans. We were wearing the same flats but different colors. Mine were yellow and hers were grey. I took one last look at my hair and approved. It was a simple loose side pony tail and I loved it. Taylor was excellent with the very little make-up she put on me and herself. I could see her becoming a beautician or a designer.

"Yep, let's go, they're here." She said after the doorbell rang. I already called Terri and told her about that party. She gave me the whole 'Don't drink and watch out for the punch' speech. Even though we both know that I would never do anything stupid like that. And I knew that Chad, Troy, and Taylor wouldn't let it happen to me.

We walked down the stairs and walked out to the car. I could feel Troy's eyes on me, but not in an uncomfortable way. Taylor and I got into the backseat of Troy's car and went to the party.

"Wow." was all I said as we walked into the house. To be perfectly honest, everything scared the crap out of me. The people, the alcohol you could smell, and just the way people were acting.

"You should see these people at the wild parties." Taylor whispered. My eyes went wide. She laughed.

"Don't worry, Troy will take care of you if Chad or I can't." she added. Taylor made sure that I didn't get lost or get caught up with a guy. I shuddered as I drunk guy winked at me.

"Here." Taylor said as she handed me a water bottle. "Stick with water." She added.

"I know, Terri warned me about the punch or any of the open drinks." I said.

"Gabbi! Taylor!" We heard some girl call. We turned around and walked over to Becca and Sarah.

We hugged and sat down on an empty couch.

"Please tell me that you and Troy are a couple." Becca said. I rolled my eyes.

"Nope." I answered taking a sip of my water.

Their mouths hung open. "I already went through a whole bunch of crap with her…." I said as I lightly pushed Taylor who smiled. "…and would like it if I wasn't bothered anymore." I added.

"But she admitted she liked him." Taylor said quickly before I had time to cover her mouth. I glared at her.

"Awwww! That's so cute! You can tell he likes you too." Sarah said. I sighed. A slow song came over the party.

"Ooh! YAY!" they squealed.

"What's the big deal?" I whispered to Taylor.

"Well, we made it perfectly clear that whatever part we go to, there has to be a slow dance somewhere down along the line." She said with a smile.

Chad held his hand out for her. "Dance with me?" he asked. She nodded. They're so cute together! I smiled as I saw Chad whisper something to her which made her smile.

"May I have this dance?" asked a guy who held his hand out for me. I giggled and nodded to Troy. (I bet I stumped you there huh?! Not. Lol…) I heard Becca and Sarah squeal after I stood up and was following Troy into the middle of the floor.

We were swaying the rhythm of the music. My arms around his neck, his arms around my waist.

"Having fun?" he asked softly.

I smiled. "Yes, actually. I got a few drunken guys winking at me so; I guess that's pretty normal." I said. He chuckled. I could've sworn that I was closer to him than I was when I started. I looked over his shoulder quickly to see Sarah and Becca practically turning down every offer I got to watch me and Troy. I looked back at Troy and I was even closer than before.

I took another glance at Becca and Sarah and saw them bouncing up and down on the sofa. I laughed on the inside. My attention was back on Troy.

Our faces were getting closer and closer until our lips finally met in an earth-shattering kiss. We heard an extremely loud squeal from where Sarah and Becca were sitting. We broke off the kiss and looked over at Sarah keeping her hand over Becca's mouth and yelling at her in whispers. I giggled.

"I think we had an audience." I whispered. He smiled down at me.

"I don't mind if you don't." he said. Our lips met in another kiss. It lasted a normal amount of time this time, not being interrupted by squealing girls. It was soft and filled with...with…I don't know. The only word I could think of at the moment was…love.

I was lost in the kiss for a while before the need for air was at its maximum.

I opened my eyes and looked into his blue orbs until he was pulled away by a bunch of teammates. I laughed as the practically drug him out of the room.

I strode over to Becca, Sarah, and Taylor.

"How was it?!" Becca and Sarah screeched.

"How was what?" Taylor asked me.

"I'm sorry girls, but I don't kiss and tell." I said taking a sip of water. The look on Taylor's face was priceless.

"It was great!" I said. Their faces brightened up.

"So, did he ask you out yet?" they asked me.

"No." I said. My doubts were starting to kick in.

"Maybe he didn't mean to kiss me; maybe he was just caught up in the moment." I thought aloud.

"Excuse me; I have to go make a call." Taylor said. I nodded and continued talking to Becca and Sarah.

Taylor's P.O.V-

"Hello?"

"Chad, it's Taylor." I said.

"Oh, hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, listen, I'm sure you saw Troy and Gabbi's 'moment'." I said.

"Yeah."

"We need to get them alone tonight so 'Troyella' can happen." I explaine.

"'Troyella'?" he asked.

"We just need to get Troy and Gabriella together! Okay?" I asked.

"Got it."

"Okay, have Troy out on the deck in five minutes, and make sure thatit's just him." I ordered.

"Yes ma'am."

"Bye." I hung up and rolled my eyes at my boyfriend's dumbness.

Gabbi's P.O.V-

"Gabbi, can I talk to you in private for a sec?" Taylor asked me. I nodded and followed her out the back door and onto the deck.

"You wanted to ta-" I looked around and didn't see Taylor anywhere, but I did see Troy making his way to the back door. I turned around and put two and two together.

This is a set-up! I thought. Oh well, I hope it works!!! I thought to myself.

Taylor's P.O.V-

"Did you get him to go outback? I asked Chad.

"Yeah." He answered. I ran over and told Sarah and Becca what we did.

"You're a genius!" Becca squealed.

I got lost in a conversation about me telling them how Gabbi admitted that she liked Troy when we saw Gabbi walk in and stand at the door looking like she was waiting for someone. A few moments later, we saw Troy go and put his arm around her waist and kiss her!

I know, kinda short, but I liked it and thought that it was pretty good. Please tell me what you think!
