Chapter 7.

"So? What do you wanna do today?" Troy asked, looking at Gabriella, as he threw himself on her bed, "The weather is kinda bad. How about watching a movie or so?"

"We could also just talk?" Gabriella suggested, a suggestive look in her eyes. She really wanted to talk, she wanted to talk how his crush on Sharpay was coming along.

"What's fun about that?" Troy asked, "I'm not a girl, I don't do gossip."

"Yeah, yeah," Gabriella mumbled, before she paused. Just then she realized she was starting to act like Sharpay at times. She'd never in her life brushed one of her friends of with a 'yeah, yeah' and ignored them. She was about to say something to Troy, to apologise, when the doorbell rang from downstairs. Since her mother wasn't home, Gabriella quickly jumped the staircase, and opened the front door, only to find Sharpay there, leaning against the frame.

"Hey," she replied, brushing past Gabriella and into the house, "That took its time."

"Sorry," Gabriella said, looking at her blonde friend, "What are you doing here? I have plans… with Troy. He's upstairs."

"That's perfect." Sharpay replied, quickly making her way up the stairs, as if she owned them. Gabriella just followed her, unsure of what to say. They came into Gabriella's room, and Troy was surprised to see Sharpay there. He still wasn't in the mood of talking to her. Let alone being in the same room as her.

"What's going on, Sharpay?" Gabriella asked, sitting down on her bed, while Sharpay stood up, looking around.

"Okay," Sharpay said, throwing her Prada bag on the floor with a clunk, "Next lesson is kissing."

"Huh?"

"Your next lesson, Gabriella," Sharpay said, "It's kissing. You need to learn how to kiss for real if you want a guy like Ryan. Okay, he's my brother, he's a kisser, he kiss all the time. He kissed me. Fine? See, yes, now you need to make out with Troy to learn how to kiss."

"I'm not gonna make out with Troy!" Gabriella said, firmly crossing her arms, "I've never really kissed anyone before, okay? And I don't intend to do it now."

"Okay, then you're gonna have to make out with me instead." Sharpay said, hands on hips, but by the look Gabriella gave her, she continued, "Hallo?! You need to learn how to kiss! It's not a big deal, Gabby. We'll kiss each other, and then you can try on Troy instead, or… something?"

Gabriella looked at Troy, questions floating in her brown pools. "I'm not really sure…"

"Gabriella," Troy said, "I know how much you like Ryan, honestly, a kiss is no big deal. Not if it's just a kiss. It's a different story if you start making out. Just kiss her, it won't be weird at all."

"Glad we agree, Troy." Sharpay said, pushing him away from the bed, where he had been sitting, he landed on the floor, but Sharpay didn't give a shit, she just took a seat where he had been sitting, and looked at Gabriella, "It's just a peck on the lips, Gabby. It's not big deal."

"Okay," Gabriella said, swallowing hard, "Just… we're doing it quickly, okay?"

"Of course," Sharpay smiled, because she couldn't help it. Gabriella was extremely cute and adorable when she was insecure and scared like that. Sharpay couldn't help but care for her, "Just a couple of seconds."

My tender heart
Tends to start to bleed

Gabriella swallowed a bit, but then slowly leaned in, as Sharpay did the same. Troy was staring in awe at the two girls, as their lips met, and Sharpay took over, letting Gabriella feel how a kiss should be. So maybe they'd been lying before about the whole making out-thingy, but Troy knew they wouldn't have gotten Gabriella to do it unless they told a little lie. He'd caught Sharpay's drift there.

The two girls pulled away, and Troy couldn't help but think that that was so hot. Two hot, beautiful girls making out was every guy's dream, wasn't it?

"Kiss like that," Sharpay smiled, slightly out of breath.

"You lied to me." Gabriella mumbled, turning to look at Troy, "And it doesn't matter anyway, because I don't know what it looks like. You two are gonna have to show me."

"That's pay back time, isn't it?" Sharpay asked, and by Gabriella's nod, she continued, "Oh God, you're getting evil, I'm so proud!"

"I'm not gonna kiss her." Troy said, even though, that particularly action had been in his dreams for a very long time. He wasn't fond of her after he found out she was only using her. Though their almost kiss a couple of days ago had been amazing. Even though it technically wasn't a kiss.

Gabriella shot him a weird look, and he looked back. She stood up and dragged him outside of her room, telling Sharpay they needed two minutes. She just nodded, so Troy and Gabriella stood in the hall, looking at each other. Gabriella knew she was asking a lot of him, but she really needed help.

She just kept looking at him, sending him the puppy dog eyes that she knew he couldn't resist.

"No," Troy said, shaking his head, "I'm not doing, Gabriella. She doesn't like me. I'm not gonna let her use me as her little toy, no matter how bad you need help. I'm not gonna do it. No, nuh-uh, forget it."

"Please, Troy?" Gabriella said, her voice soft and tender, "Please?"

He looked at her, a couldn't turn her down like that, "Fine! But you owe me!"

So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!

"We'll just kiss, and you can just look and take notes or whatever." Sharpay mumbled, sitting, actually a little nervous, next to Troy on Gabriella's bed. She had a crush on this guy, and she was gonna have to kiss him. It was gonna be a little hard to control herself. She could just hope that Troy wouldn't be able to control himself either.

"Fine," Gabriella mumbled. She was very uncomfortable, as she was watching them, getting ready for this kiss.

"Ready?" Troy asked, turning to look at Sharpay. The deep chocolate colour of her eyes, the colour he loved so much, was full of something. Did he dare say… love? And even though he actually didn't want this, he still did, because it was the girl of his dreams, and he was getting ready to kiss her.

"Yeah," she whispered, and ever so slowly, they both leaned in, capturing their lips in a heated, but actually much needed kiss. It didn't take them very long to sink into a kiss they had both wanted forever and dreamed about. Sharpay's tongue parted Troy's lips, wanting to fight with his, which he didn't object to. He actually leaned backwards, taking Sharpay with him, so she was on top of him, still kissing him with all she was worth.

Some time later, she broke the kiss, and turned to look at an even more uncomfortable Gabriella. She was one big question mark, and Sharpay awkwardly cleared her throat. "See…" she whispered, breathless, "Now you can try and kiss, Troy. You don't have to do it exactly like that, though."

"I don't plan on it." Gabriella said, taking a seat on the bed, where Sharpay had moved herself from.

"You do have to make it passionate." Sharpay told her, "That's what we're practising. But make it passionate your own way, 'kay?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Goodie," Sharpay smiled, sitting on the chair, "Get to work, guys."

Troy and Gabriella sat there, looking at each other for a second. Troy was gonna let Gabriella do all the work, since she was the one in training, so he waited for her to lean in. She eventually did, and planted her soft lips on his, kissing him the best she could.

Sharpay was watching the kiss, a million of thoughts drifting through her mind. Well, you could barely call it a kiss, which was also one of her million thoughts. She quickly stood up, breaking the kissing people apart, "No, no, no! NO! You're doing it all wrong."

"You said to do it my own way."

"Yeah, but you still had to kiss him." Sharpay said, her eyes wide, "That wasn't a kiss, honey, that was a nothing." She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath, "You have to move your mouth like this," she told her, and then she started forming her lips in some weird way, intending for Gabriella to learn it that way.

Troy couldn't help but chuckle of Sharpay's weird methods. She did look funny, standing there, making funny faces. She was good at exaggerating it, but she was an actress, so that was to be expected.

"Can you do that?" Sharpay finished, looking at her with eyes that said 'you better be able to!'.

Gabriella bit her lip, "I'll try." Was all she offered, but that seemed to please Sharpay well enough, because she motioned for the two of them to start kissing again.

Which they did.

When they broke apart Sharpay smiled at them. "Better Gabriella. You are a fast learner when it comes to kissing. The only thing you need is to add some more passion into the kiss. It is the first kiss that reveals if the person you kiss want you. You can tell a difference between a kiss that wants to take it to the next level, you know sex? Or if it's a kiss for love. I'll show you the difference." Sharpay looked at Troy. He was bit nervous if she could tell a difference in his kisses. She placed herself next to him. Slowly they were leaning in for the kiss.

Troy let Sharpay's tongue into his mouth, playing with his. He could feel her hands were playing with his hair. He relaxed a little more and placed his hands on her hips slowly sliding them up towards her breast. He was about to put his hands on her breast, when she broke the kiss. Troy walked over to Gabriella's desk and placed himself in her comfortable chair. He listened to what Sharpay told.

"What kiss was that?" Sharpay questioned.

"Hmm... The kiss that wanted to go on to the next level?" Gabriella guessed.

"Yeah, it is also important what you do with your hands. With them you're actually inviting for different kind of actions. If you really want to get into bed with a guy, be really dirty. Like, while you are kissing him, slowly put your hands underneath his shirt. If you do that you also say is it okay for him to fill you up." Sharpay explained.

Gabriella quickly wrote it down on her block. She looked up a couple of seconds later, though, "Really? I didn't know that. I think I still got a lot to learn. One question: If you play with a guy's hair, then what do you invite to? I mean why did Troy fill you up, when you didn't fill him up?"

Troy began to feel stupid for filling her up. He didn't even know all the stuff Sharpay told Gabriella.

"There is also one more fact. See, it was the kiss that show I wanted to have sex, so I don't have to grab on him, because my kiss is the one inviting. You understand?" Sharpay explained.

"Okay, well could you show me that kiss, where you fill him up?" Gabriella asked. Troy looked evilly at Gabriella. Sharpay crossed the room to him, and placed herself on his lap. It reminded him of their almost kiss. He hoped he could control himself. She began to lean in, placing her hand on his chest. She turned around to Gabriella.

"You can also kiss him on his neck and slowly work up to his mouth. Like this…" Sharpay turned back to Troy, slowly leaning in again. She kissed him lightly at his lips and started to kiss his neck. Gabriella scribbled something on her block. Sharpay kissed his lips again. This time more passionately. Troy could feel her warm hand working to get underneath his shirt. He separated her lips, letting his tongue play with hers. He placed his hands on her ass, sliding them up at her back and down again. He lifted her up and carried her over to Gabriella's bed.

"Guys, please stop. I think I got it." Gabriella started to say. "Stop!" she said again, when their kissing didn't stop.

Non reactions. They just kept on kissing. Troy trailed his kiss down her neck down to the valley between her breasts. Sharpay let out a moan of pleasure.

"Okay… I am just gonna get some water." Gabriella said, wanting to leave the room, "Be right back" she added, and hurriedly left the room.

Sharpay took off his shirt. Troy rolled them over so she was on top. She kissed his chest while he was working on getting her small tube top off. Troy pulled her head down for another heated kiss. She happily obliged. They kept on kissing for the next 10 minutes like that. Gabriella came back to the room with a bottle of water. She got shocked by the sight. They were laying on her bad, kissing , half naked.

"Guys, will you stop right now!?" Gabriella demanded, but it didn't help. She opened the bottle and poured it out on them.

"Gabby! That is freaking cold!" Sharpay screamed getting of Troy.

"I told you to stop. You have been going on for like a half hour." Gabriella told them.

"Really? It only felt like a couple of minutes to me." Sharpay blushed and turned to look at Troy. He looked really good without his shirt on. She looked away again wondering what he thought of her. "Well, I hope you learned something. I better get going. Ryan is probably waiting for me." She took her top back on and gave Gabriella a big hug and left them alone.

Troy looked after her, what just happened between them?

There you go. Next chapter is done. I(Noukka) think this is one of the best chapters. But why don't you tell me what you think. Please review?
