Chapter 13;

London, London

"London Bridge is falling down; falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair laaaady"

Troy and Chad kept singing while they waited in line to get inside the bus their third day in England. Gabriella and Taylor that were just in front of them kept covering their ears: the boys were singing the same song since breakfast and the girls couldn't stand it anymore.

"Build it up with iron bars, iron bars, iron bars, build it up with iron bars, my fair laaaaady" Zeke joined the choir and Gabriella moaned frustrated,

"Not another one" Gabriella looked around and her eyes met Sharpay, "Make him stop, Shar"

"Pumpkin, shut up" the blond asked with a high voice but Zeke didn't stop it, "ZEKE!"

Taylor & Gabriella jumped back at her scream and Chad & Troy laughed hard at Zeke's shocked face, "You can stop it" Chad said, "But Troy and I are gonna keep singing"

"Iron bars will bend and break, bend and break, bend and break" they stepped inside the bus and walked to their seats, still singing, "Iron bars will bend and break, my fair laaaady"

Taylor sat beside Chad and slapped him in the arm, "Stop it. You're so irritating!"

"Alright" Troy said, throwing himself in the seat beside Ella, "We stop it"

Gabriella lifted her arms up, "Finally"

Troy smirked, intertwining their fingers and saying on her ear, "Do I get a kiss for shutting up?"

"No" Ella snapped abruptly, "But you'll get a slap if you start singing it again"

"Ouch" he mocked her, "Someone woke up in a bad mood today"

She rested her head on his shoulder, sighing "I'm just really tired, Troy"

"Okay Ella" he gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Let me sing to make you sleep"

Gabriella smiled, "Ok" she closed her eyes, "Go ahead, Troy"

"Build it up with needles and pins, needles and pins, needles and pins" he started again, "Build it up with needles and pins, my fair laaaady"

"Fuck" she pulled away from him, "You're such an asshole sometimes"

Troy laughed hard and pulled her closer, "I'm just playing around, babe. I'll stop it. I swear"

"Do you promise?"

He nodded and kissed her hand, "It's a promise"

Mr. Labonier was the last one to get inside the bus and placed his huge bag on the first seat, right next to Mrs. Johnson, "Good afternoon, kids" he greeted the students with a huge smile, "Are you ready to see the River Thames?"

A few people said yes and Gabriella lay down on her seat, resting her head on Troy's lap, "Are you alright babe?"

She nodded, yawning, "Yeah"

Troy stroked her hair gently as the driver started the engine and the guide began his speech about the River Thames, "It is a major river flowing through southern England" Mr. Labonier said, caressing his mustache, thoughtful, "This River flows through several other towns and cities like Oxford, Reading and Windsor"

Gabriella closed her eyes as she felt Troy's hand slowly stroking her neck and earlobe. For a guy as big and strong as he ways, he sure knew how to be delicate. He touched Gabriella like she was made of glass and could break any time now. She smiled to herself and even though it would be a bit risky, Ella grabbed his free hand and placed on her stomach inside her shirt.

"Oh so you like when I caress you there, eh?" he asked her with a smile on his face,

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, baby"

Troy flinched when he heard Gabriella calling him baby. It was the first time she called him like that and his heart couldn't help but race fast at the sound of this word coming out of her lips. He looked at her, eyes full of excitement,

"Say it again"

Gabriella looked at him, a bit confused, "Yeah?"

Troy shook his head, "Nahh, the other thing" he asked in his husky voice, not loud, just for Gabriella,

"Baaaby" she replied, smiling playfully, "I want the circles, BABY"

Troy smirked, rubbing circles on her stomach, "Like that?"

She closed her eyes again and nodded; caressing his knee at the same lazy speed he stroked her stomach. Hands of an angel. That was the best expression to define Troy's touch. Even when he'd lost control of his acts he would still be so smooth. Gabriella, on the other hand, was too passionate, getting a bit rough at times.

"The river gives its name to the Thames Valley" they heard Mr. Labonier voice's again, "But do you know what is there too?"

Nobody replied, just kept staring at the guide with boring looks. "Alright, who wants to reply it?" Mrs. Johnson asked, obviously embarrassed with the lack of interest from her students,

"London Bridge" the driver said in a whisper and Mr. Labonier grinned large, "Exactly, Rupert!" he exclaimed, "LONDON BRIDGE!"

"Ohh noo" Gabriella said more to herself but Troy was able to hear it and started laughing. "Yo Trooooy" Chad yelled from his seat, "The London Bridge man!"

"I have a music you guys will love" the tall guide said, putting a CD on, "Let's hear it on our way to the bridge"

Gabriella groaned as the lyrics of the song started filling the bus. She sat straight and looked at her best friend Taylor that was hiding her head in her hands, visibly frustrated, "This isn't happening"

"Pins and needles rust and bend, rust and bend, rust and bend, pins and needles rust and bend, my fairrr lady" Mr. Labonier started clapping hands and singing in the mic, "Build it up with penny loaves, penny loaves, penny loaves, build it up with penny loaves, my faiiir lady"

Chad sat on his knees, jumping excitedly on his seat, his head moving back and front as he sang the lyrics with the tour guide, "Penny loaves will tumble down, tumble down, tumble down, penny loaves will tumble down, my faaaaaaaair lady"

Troy tried to control himself and not sing, but this song was stuck in his head for the whole day now and he was almost joining his friend and the rest of the bus in the song. He hummed the song along, tapping his fingers on his lap while doing it,

"You can sing, Troy" Gabriella finally said, "Even though this song is the most annoying one I've ever listened to"

"Nah, I promised I wouldn't" he said, "Chad can sing alone"

"Troy…" Gabriella said again, "Sing it"

"If you insist" he smirked, "Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold, build it up with silver and gold, my faaaair lady"

Taylor shook her head and called Gabriella, "This is going to be a looong day"

the brunette nodded, "Tell me about it"

"Gold and silver I've not got, I've not got, I've not got, Gold and silver I've not got, my fair laaaady" Troy sang it loud when he stepped outside the bathroom, already dressed in his PJs pants and jumped on the bed, "Here's a prisoner I have got, I have got, I have got, here's a prisoner I have got, my fair lady"

"Enough, Troy. I can't stand that song anymore" Gabriella sighed, "I mean, singing in the bus was ok, but buying it on ITunes?" she shook her head and shut her notebook, "That's too much"

Troy took the notebook from her lap and kissed her neck, "Are you jealous of my new lady?"

"Which lady?" she asked, biting her lip to avoid a moan, "My fair lady from the London Bridge"

Gabriella rolled her eyes and pushed him away, "You love to irritate me, right?"

Troy smirked, nodding his head, "Yeah, baby"

"I knew it"

She put her notebook inside her suitcase again, still arguing about the song Troy kept humming as he changed the channels looking for something interesting to watch. Gabriella looked back at him, walking to the bathroom, "And you don't even pay attention to what I say"

Troy moved his eyes from the TV and stared at Gabriella in time to see her colliding with the closed bathroom door and falling back on the floor,

"Ouch" she said, covering her nose with her hands, "Damn it"

Troy ran to her, "Gosh, are you okay?"

"No" she replied in a baby voice while shaking her head in negation,

He laughed, "You're so clumsy, Ella" he took her hand of her nose and kissed the tip of it and then her lips softly. Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer making Troy lay half of his body on top of her. He sucked her lip a bit, stroking her hair and tickling her nose with his own before pulling away and resting his forehead on hers, lost in her big brown eyes,

"Ouch" she said again, giggling, "My forehead is hurting too, Boo"

Troy rolled his eyes and stood up, helping her to stand too, "You need to be more careful or you'll end up breaking a bone someday"

Gabriella massaged her forehead, "It was all because of your stupid song"

"It's not stupid" he protested, "It's cool"

"It's stupid" she said again and stuck out her tongue to him, "Stupid Bridge could fall down right nooow, fall down right now, fall down right nowww" she mocked him, "And I wouldn't care le-ess"

Troy fake hurt, "You're so dead now" he said and started running after her, "You'll see the stupid bridge, eh"

Gabriella screamed and ran to the bathroom, trying to close the door, but Troy was three or four times stronger than her, so he pushed the door open in less than a minute. He took steps closer to her, and she kept taking steps back till her back met with the bathroom wall. Troy grinned and placed both of his hands on either side of her, making impossible to break free from him and the wall.

"Alright" she bit her lower lip, "I'm willing to negotiate with you"

Troy raised a single eye brown, "I'm listening" he said, "But be convincing, you just hurt my feelings and the old London bridge too"

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Fine, I'm sorry I said your song is stupid" she stroked his hair, "And I'm sorry I said it could fall down that I wouldn't mind"

"Mm hmm, continue" Troy told her, closing the gap between them and resting his lips on her neck, "I'm sorry for deleting the song from your IPhone" her hand ran to his earlobe, massaging it gently,

"You didn't delete my song"

Gabriella sighed, stroking his stomach with her nails while her other hand was still on his earlobe, "Yeah, but I really thought about doing it"

They shared a gaze, "Mm let me see if I'll forgive you"

"Come on Troy" she said, rubbing his lips with hers before pecking him, "Please"

"Mmm… I don't know"

Gabriella licked his lower lip slowly and pouted, "Aw baaaby"

Troy closed his eyes knowing he couldn't argue anymore. He had lost the battle against Gabriella and he knew she called him baby on purpose. Damn her for being so sexy pronouncing every word that came out her mouth, even sexier for calling him baby.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, "This isn't fair"

Gabriella giggled, "Oh yeah it is"

Troy grabbed her in his arms and took her back to bed, placing her on top of it and lying on her side. Gabriella yawned and changed position, lying on her stomach,

"Turn off the lights, Boo"

He did what she asked and she gave him a kiss on the chest, "Thanks"

Troy smiled and stroked her back, feeling her adjusting to his body, putting her left arm on his chest and rubbing her cold feet on his legs, like she did every night to warm them.

"Boo?"

"Mm?" he replied already sleepy,

"Can I be your fair lady from now on?"

Troy laughed, "Sure"

She pulled his face to her and rested her lips on his, "Thanks"

"Mm" he kissed her lightly, "kiss me again and I won't let you sleep anymore"

Gabriella pulled away from him, "Hellooo… tomorrow we're going to Cambridge!" she told him in a duh voice, "I need to rest for it"

Troy moaned, "You're such a dork, Ella"

She turned on her side and so did Troy, both of them staring into each other's eyes, breathing nervously at the simple fact they were just close to each other and that would already make their bodies react like they were touching the other, "And you're an asshole" she replied, caressing his cheek with her hand. Gabriella traced the side of his face with her finger, saving his expression on her mind, "But I still like you"

Troy wrapped his right arm around her bringing her closer to him, "Yeah, yeah" he said sarcastically, "We were made for each other"

Ella giggled, "Mm hmm, baby"

Troy couldn't help but feel his stomach tied up in knots, "Damn it" he muttered to himself, "Where did I get myself into?"

"You were the one that said we we're going to have sooo much fun here" Gabriella kissed his earlobe, his lips quickly and rested her head on her pillow again, "Now deal with it, gorgeous"

Troy sighed, "I'm so fucked"
