Title: Birthday Paradise

Yesterday was Troy's eighteenth birthday. His parents and friends threw him a surprise party. A party he was almost late for due to the fact that he and Gabriella were up at the popular make-out spot Moonlight Drive. Troy thought that their hour long make-out session at Moonlight Drive was his birthday gift from his girlfriend because she didn't enjoy going up there very often. They been up there for an hour when Gabriella realized they needed to go back for dinner with his family. Upon their arrival, everyone yelled surprise to Troy. The entire evening was filled with laughter and enjoyment. Troy kept an arm around Gabriella the whole night. Right before blowing out his candles, he kissed Gabriella right in front of everyone amidst the cheers.

"So, I take it that Moonlight Drive was your gift?" Troy asked Gabriella as he drove her home after the party.

"No, you need to come over to my house at four tomorrow." Gabriella answered.

"Your mom going out of town again?"

"That and I'm going to give you your birthday gift."

"Can I get a hint?" Troy asked as he pulled up into the driveway.

Gabriella leaned over and began to kiss boyfriend passionately. She moved and straddled Troy pinning him to his seat. Troy was slightly surprised at her sudden aggressiveness. He opened his mouth and their tongues met and caressed each other. Gabriella then pulled away.

"Well, goodnight." she said as she opened the car door.

"Wait a minute. What about my hint?" Troy asked.

"You just got it. Love you, Baby."

Now, after a full day of waiting, Troy was now in front of Gabriella's front door. A single post it note was on the door. 'Please knock' was written in Gabriella's elegant handwriting. Troy smiled and knocked on the door. Gabriella opened the door dressed in a yellow bathing suit with a blue wrap around her waist. She smiled at she pulled Troy inside.

"Welcome to paradise." Gabriella greeted as she led them to the backyard.

Troy looked around. Gabriella had created a resort like atmosphere. The small waterfall in her pool was turned on. A table used for massages was set up on the patio. Troy smiled and pulled Gabriella over to him.

"This is fantastic." he told her as he kissed her happily.

"What do you want to do first?" Gabriella asked. "Swim, massage or eat?"

"Who will be performing this massage?"

"Who do you think?"

"Do you have something for me to change into?"

"You have three pairs of swim trunks over here."

Five minutes later, Troy came out in his swim trunks. He then rested on top of the table. Gabriella placed the sheet over his waist and straddled him as she began to massage his lower back. Troy groaned softly into his folded arms.

"That feels incredible." he told her after a few minutes. "When we get our own place will you do this after practice?"

"If every so often you return the favor." Gabriella answered.

"It's a deal." Troy promised before moaning when Gabriella reached a knot on his lower back.

"Sorry." Gabriella said kissing the back of his neck. "So, were you surprised last night?"

"Yes, I was. How long had you been planning that out for me?"

"About a month. Chad was originally supposed to hang out with you, but we were afraid he would blab and that you would keep calling me and we wouldn't get anything done."

"And I probably would have returned and ruined everything."

"Yes you would have."

"To tell you the truth, I think I'm going to enjoy this celebration much more."

"And why is that?"

"Because it's only you and me and no parents to interrupt us." Troy answered as he moved to grab her legs.

Gabriella screamed as she scrambled off of him. Troy quickly jumped up and followed her. Gabriella dove into her pool with her wrap still around her. She came up to the surface and turned to look where Troy should be. Suddenly, she felt him grab her legs and pull her back under. While under the water, she turned around in his arms. As soon as they broke the surface, their lips met each other passionately. Troy pulled them over to the side of the pool. The two stayed there for a few minutes before Gabriella pushed them off the wall and led them over to the pool's steps. Troy stumbled onto the steps and pulled Gabriella into his lap.

"Come with me." Gabriella whispered against his lips.

"Where are we going?" Troy asked as Gabriella walked up the steps making his arm that was wrapped around her waist slide down to her thigh, then to her calf until she was out of his grasp all together.

"Our own private paradise." Gabriella answered going into the house with Troy following her and closing the door shut.
