Troy's Point of View:
Wow, this is actually going better than I expected. I can't believe I'm having the time of life, with a boy for that matter. When I kissed him at the theater, I felt a whole new sensation that I've never felt before; not even when I kiss Gabby. I felt like something that I've been searching for all my life was inside me as soon as our lips touched. I longed to do that again soon. Maybe I'll get what I wish for. What about Gabriella? I still care about her and I will always love her but not in the way that she expects to me to.
"Troy? Pick a flavor. You're holding up the line." Ryan's voice ripped through my ears. I had forgotten that were at the local ice-cream parlor. I looked around to see a group of people standing behind Ryan and I; their faces filled with impatience. I laughed nervously and looked at the menu.
"So, what would you like sir?" The lady behind the register was a kind, older lady with gray streaks lining through her hair. She smiled.
"Can I have two cones of..." I completely forgot about Ryan. So I turned to him to ask what he wanted. "Which flavor do you want?"
I watched as Ryan thought for a moment; until seconds later, he screamed.
"Cookies and Cream!" He covered his mouth as he stared around the parlor and every pair of eyes within public distance were staring at him. He fell into a fit of hysteria as I paid for our ice-cream cones. I handed him one as we exited the parlor.
As soon as we stepped out into the cool night, I started to laugh myself at how silly Ryan was back in the parlor. I watched as he continued to lick his ice-cream in between fits of giggles. I smiled; but not like any other smile. It was a smile you usually feel when you get overwhelmed by happiness and excitement. That's how I was feeling now at least.. I quickly locked hands with him as we started to walk around the vicinity.
"Hey Troy, what does this mean for the both of us?" He asked me as we stopped to sit on a nearby bench. I looked at him to see that he had a bit of ice-cream on his upper lip. I started to laugh as I realized that the seriousness of the question was overwhelmed by the bit of ice cream on Ryan's face. I moved in closer.
"Before I answer that, I think I should clean that up, don't you think?" I moved in so that our faces were merely millimeters away as I licked the bit of ice cream off his face with one, simple swipe. I could hear him moan lightly as I pulled back. He smiled in response.
"Thanks Troy." His face was flushed and had changed to a light-pink color. I continued to lick the rest of my ice cream and thought about Ryan's question.
I really don't know. I'm so new at this kind of thing. I've been with girls all my life. This is a completely new experience and I don't know what to do next. I'm just doing what I would do like on any other date. Are we boyfriends now?
"Troy, I'm getting kind of cold. We should head back to your car." We both finished the rest of our cones and we headed back towards my car. I pulled him in closely as we walked to prevent him from being any more colder than he is.
I felt him lightly kissed my neck. A certain body part of mine reacted happily towards this gesture. I just continued to smile as we walked into the parking lot.
We got into the car and drove away from the ice cream parlor parking lot as we headed towards Ryan's house. I asked him for his address. He was a bit tired but was able to make out the street name and house number.
I turned on the music as we continued to drive along. I've never felt so happy in my entire life. But I wasn't sure what I was going to do.
Technically, I'm still with Gabriella but I really want to be with Ryan. Man, am I even ready to be with another boy? Is this just some phase that I'm going through? I don't know. I'm starting to think that what we did tonight was just a lot for me to handle right now and that we should slow things down a bit, relationship-wise. I still want to be friends though. How am I going to break it to him? After all the fun we just had? This is so difficult. I'm so confused. Do I really want to be with him?
I let out a small tear.
We arrived at Ryan's house and I parked my car into his driveway. I took a deep breath and nudged Ryan lightly. He had fallen asleep on the way here. I've never been so nervous in my whole life.
"Ryan, before we do anything else. I'm not sure about-" Ryan put a finger to my lips. He looked at me with calm, sleepy eyes.
"Troy, I had a really nice time tonight. In fact, I don't ever remember the last time I did something fun that was outside of school. I'm really glad that we did this." He smiled and started to caress my hand.
"Oh, sorry, you were saying?" I felt like my stomach just did a back flip.
"I was just going to say the same thing. And I hope we could you know, do it again sometime." I watched as he smiled at my response. I nodded reassuringly. We exited the car and I decided to escort him up to his front porch.
We stood in front of his door, both wondering what do we do next. I looked around at his front yard and then back at him again. He was staring at me with his soft, blue eyes.
"Wow Ryan, your place is beautiful." I must've sounded so stupid.
"Thanks. Not to be conceited or anything but my mom works as a modeling agent so we can afford this big house. We mostly have workers do all the rough jobs and stuff that we can't do." I held his hand tighter.
"Wow, you and Sharpay must be really hap-" My words were cut off by Ryan's lips. I felt him tap my lips gently with his tongue; asking for entrance. I parted them so that he could enter. I felt him swirl his tongue around the confines of my mouth, my tongue playfully swirling around his. For what seemed like hours, we continued to explore the every nook of each other's mouths. It was an oral fixation. When we finally separated, we both laughed nervously and excitedly at the same time.
"So Ryan, what are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.
"I'm going to do some stuff with Sharpay but we'll be done before nightfall. Would you like to pick me up around the 6:30?" He adjusted his hat.
"Yeah, that sounds cool. I can't wait!" As Ryan was about to turn the knob of the front door, I gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He responded by doing the same. Before he closed the door, he looked back at me.
"I'll see you later Troy." Ryan had a devious smile on his face. I couldn't help but cringe. I quickly ran to my car and started to head towards the direction of my house.
Ryan was the only thing floating through my mind...
A/N: How cute. Troy can't decide his feelings or his sexuality. What will happen next?
