2 Months have passed, and Gabriella was working back at the bar as a bartender. It was friday night, which meant that The lakers were coming into celebrate their win.

Gabriella bit her lip watching all the lakers walk in and take a seat. her eyes went to Troy and saw that he was depressed, wasen't happy. but he should of been, he won the championship. Gabriella bit her lip, lifting up a tray filled with beer bottles then she walked over to the table. "Hi Gabs." Chad smiled, "Hi Chad." she layed the tray on the table, and walked away, but Troy watched her from under his thick eyelashes.

Gabriella was at the bar counter, and A cute guy came over and sat across from her, "Hey. I'm Cory." she smiled politely. "Gabriella. Can I get you something?" he smiled, "Well umm I'm thinking you have beer here right?" she giggled and smiled at him. he was cute.

She nodded, "Yeah. I do. would you like that?" he smiled, "Sure." she grabbed a beer bottle from under the counter, he looked at her, "So, what's a pretty girl like you working at a place like this? you should be partying at a place like this."

She blushed, "A lot of things happened." he smiled, "So, you single?" Gabriella bit her lip, "Yes..I am. I was in love with this one guy and he.. he hurt me very much." The guy smiled, "Well, that was his lost. why won't you take a break, and dance with me?" Gabriella smiled, "Cory, I would love too, but I have to work-"

Troy's eyes looked over at the counter. Gabriella was blushing like mad, and smiling and talking and giggling with the dude who was talking to her and possibly flirting with her.

Cory smiled, "Well the boss here, his my dad's friend.. I bet if I asked him he would let you take a break and dance with me." Gabriella smiled, "Okay then."

Damn. Troy thought, his eyes setting into a glare as he watched the douchebag walk toward the office door. Gabriella turned back to work again, clearing his throat, he excused himself from the table where his team was sitting at and he walked over to where the douche was.

"Hey...uh...what's up man?" he said when he reached him. "AH, nothing-Hey, you're Troy Bolton...! Sweet, congratulations on the win man! That was awesome!" Troy chuckled, "yeah uh..thanks, so I saw you work it with the bartender-" "Yeah she's sweet ain't she? I would love to get to know her-" "she's taken-" that caught Cory off guard, "what? But she said she wasn't-" "She lied."

Cory looked at him, "Well this sucks, whose the lucky guy?" Troy shrugged, "I don't know.. but she's taken.. of course that's what I heard." he smiled. Cory nodded biting his lower lip, "uh yeah. well thanks dude." Troy nodded watching him go back to the bar counter.

Gabriella looked at him, "Hey-" "Gabriella, I wanted to ask you something?" she nodded, "Sure." he looked at her, "Whose your boyfriend?" she raised a brow, "Cory, I told you, I don't have one." "Well some guy told me you were taken." "What guy?" he pointed to Troy who was sitting back at the table. "That guy."

She followed his finger to where Troy was sitting at the table, and he was arrogant enough to smirk like interfering in her life was something that is okay and normal. "Excuse me.." she nearly growled, taking an extra tray over to the Laker table. "More beer gentlemen?" they all cheered.

Troy looked at her, grabbing her wrist before she walked away. "Can we talk ...please?" Gabriella glared at him. "Troy...tomorrow is Saturday, and then it's Sunday...and when I go to church, I'll go to confession and I'll ask God to forgive me for this-" she picked up a bottle of ketchup (they served food at the bar too) and squirted his face with the red sticky liquid.

"To be honest," Gabriella said once the bottle was completely empty and Troy's face totally all red, "I think God himself would've done the same thing.."

The whole table gasped, and there were a couple chuckles. Troy wiped his face, and looked at her, "Brie...please." she sat the ketchup bottle down walking away from the table. Chad grabbed his shoulder, "Dude. your trying to hard." Troy looked at him, and looked back at Gabriella who was back at the counter.

He got up, "I'll be right back." he went over to the counter, sitting across from her, "Brie-" she glared at him, "Listen, and Listen good." she looked him dead in the eyes, "Stay out of my life! I am none of your buisness! If I wanna go out with someone, I will! If I wanna have a one night stand with someone I will! and you can't do anything about it!"

Okay...that tears it. "Really?" Troy inquired, his lips turning down. "You say that...but I know you Gabriella-" "no you don't Troy Bolton.." her voice was low, but calm. He knew she was going to end up screaming. "You were my girlfriend for most of our teen years-" "Just go wash your pathetic face before I whack it with a sander!"

Okay...that tears it. "Really?" Troy inquired, his lips turning down. "You say that...but I know you Gabriella-" "no you don't Troy Bolton.." her voice was low, but calm. He knew she was going to end up screaming. "You were my girlfriend for most of our teen years-" "Just go wash your pathetic face before I whack it with a sander!"

Troy looked at her, "Come on Gabriella, I know you. I know you wouldn't ever sleep with someone to get back at me." she crossed her arms, "Really now?" he nodded, "I know you Brie." she looked at him smirking, then biting her lower lip, "Do you now?" He looked at her, where was she going with this?

She smirked turning to Chloe, "Chloe, I'll be right back." She walked around the counter, and passed Troy. he turned to watch her go over to Cory and whisper something in his ear. he smirked nodding, sitting his beer bottle down and grabbing her hand and leading her through the crowd to the back room of the bar. she smirked at Troy.

In the room of the bar, Troy stared at the locked door. Gabriella was...what the hell was she doing? And with Cory? It seemed like everyone in the bar had gone quiet, even her boss! In the room, Gabriella stared at Cory, "okay...so can you help me make my ex jealous?" "Hey..." Cory says, "I'm your guy. so what do you want me to do?" "Make a loud noise that we're having sex." "what?" "Do it!"

"Okay..okay..." Cory says, holding two hands up in surrender. "Auugghh!" He yells loudly, Gabriella holds in a laugh, as she fakes a believable orgasm. "Oh...Oh...Oh Cory..Oh yes!" then they start jumping around the room, Gabriella can imagine the look on Troy's face right now. Half of her was laughing. She started banging on the door and wall, more loud moaning. "Ready for the grand finale?" Gabriella asked breathlessly, Cory looked at her, "grand finale-AH!" Gabriella kicked him in the balls and he screamed the loudest he's screamed since they walked in the room.

Troy's eyes went wide, "What the hell..." he muttered. Gabriella giggled as Cory lifted her up against the wall. he smirked, "I have an idea." she smiled, "what?" he yelled, "Damn Gabriella! you feel so good!" he moaned. Gabriella giggled and moaned back, "Cory! Oh Cory! that feels so good!" she moaned out loud. A few minutes later, Troy heard nothing, then the door flew open and Cory smirked at Gabriella, "That was great Gabriella... we should do it again." she smiled, "Yeah it was. and we should." she turned to Troy, "oh Troy, I didn't notice you were here?" she smirked.

Troy looked at her, "Brie.. that's.. are you crazy! you barely knew the Guy!" she rolled her eyes walking away from him. he grabbed her wrist, "No! please tell me you used protection!" Gabriella groaned, "and what If I didn't?" his eyes went wide, "Oh god Brie! No! you didn't!" Gabriella smirked, "Who knows If I did... point is I enjoyed myself." she smirked, "So now were even, you hurt me, did I hurt you?" she crossed her arms.

"That's your game now?" Troy asked, "your trying to get back at me...because of something that...that happened years ago?" Gabriella glared at him, "no! I'm getting even with your for all the times you hurt and that includes your little escapade last night with dear old slutty Amber! I'm sorry Troy but..I enjoyed myself, and I take it yes, I hurt you! How does it feel Troy? Huh?" she walked away, taking off her apron and slamming it on the bar, looking at boss, "don't you fucking stop me sir, cause I fucking quit!"

Her boss looked at her, then she looked back at Troy. "Don't! ever talk to me again!" Troy watched her walk away from him. he sighed watching her grab her bag and going outside to wait on a taxi. Troy bit his lip going over to Chad, "I messed up big time." he sighed running a hand through his hair, "What happened?"

Troy clapped his hands together, "She slept with another guy! one she barely knew!" Chad gasped, "She wouldn't do that! would she?" he nodded, "I heard them." Chad sighed, "Man. that must of hurt." Troy sighed, "Yeah.. she did it to make me jealous. boy did it work." Cory walked over to Troy, "Dude, Can I talk to you?" Troy bit his lip, "What do you want?" Cory sighed, "Look, me and Gabriella didn't have sex.. we.. we pretended cause she just wanted to make you jealous."

Troy looked at him, "you think I'm stupid don't you-" "It's the truth-" "I heard you guys in there-" "then you have an over active imagination." "what?" "just picture two adults jumping around and hitting the walls and screaming..." Troy narrowed his eyes, "you don't know what I'm picturing in my head." Cory rolled his eyes, "it's the truth dammit! Come on, did me and Gabriella smell like sex? I know the smell! Come on!"

Troy looked at him, then chuckled, "I knew she couldn't do it." Chad bit his lip, "You two really need to stop playing this game, and realize you two are meant to be together forever and stop playing around." Troy bit his lip, "I know that me and her are meant to be together forever.. it's her who needs to figure it out." Chad sighed, "You need to talk to her.. make her remember how much you two love each other."

Troy bit his lip, 'How in the hell am I suppose to do that? she won't even listen to me." Chad sighed, "Well, we could trick her?" Troy looked at him, "How?" Chad smirked, "Well since she quit her job, I'll tell her there's a job opening at a restaraunt down town, and she will for sure go down there to apply, when she gets there, that's when your plan comes in." "what's my plan?" Chad shrugged, "I don't know. I thought you would know."

Troy rolled his eyes, "your a real big help.." Chad clapped a hand on his shoulder, "anytime buddy-hey! A beer here please!" the other Lakers at the table cheered for the same thing, Troy sighed, getting up and walking out of the bar. Gabriella had gone the bus because he saw her silhouette in the window just as the bus was taking off.

Troy ran after it but he ran too far and crashed into the big, eye-like windows. Gabriella gasped, seeing Troy holding his nose and walking on the bus when the driver opened the doors, "Brie..please I need to talk to you..come on...please just listen-" "I have nothing to say to you Troy Bolton." she turned her head, crossing her arms. Troy sighed, then he looked at her, kneeling to see into her eyes. "Living in my own world...didn't understand," she looked at him, he smirked, "that anything could happen...when you take a chance..."

Gabriella sighed, "Troy-" he smiled, "Please, come stay with me tonight, and we'll just work things out all together, cause I miss you.. I miss you so damn much, and I want you back." Gabriella looked at him, biting her lower lip and looking away from him, "No.." she sniffled, "You..You hurt me." he sighed sitting down beside her, "Brie, please..I..I didn't mean too.. just please." she sniffled. he sighed, "I only went far with Amber cause I saw you kissing black." she looked at him, "I only kissed him cause I saw you kiss her."

"What?" Troy asked, shaking his head, "Brie..she kissed me...she wanted me back, i told her no I ...I was-" his voice trailed off, she looked at him. "you what Troy?" His voice was soft as he looked at her through his lashes, "I told her that I didn't want her back, that I was in love with someone else.."

"Awee." gushed a freckly girl sitting behind Gabriella, it's strange how one moment can make you forget where you are. Gabriella and Troy looked at the girl, she quickly looked away from them. Gabriella sighed, lifting Troy's face to see into his eyes, "I love you Troy..I I always have but..I just-" "then stay with me tonight..please..." she bit her lip, "I can't. I'm sorry-" "then I'll stay with you." "Troy-" "Either way, we'll be together tonight, please?"

Gabriella sighed, looking away. Troy just stared at her searching for some kind of answer that she would or not. he tilted her chin with his finger, "Please..let me make it up to you. let me show you how much I love you.. just give me the chance to do that." she looked at him in the eyes. he loved her brown eyes. they were beautiful. Gabriella sighed, "I..Yes. I'll stay with you."

"Yay!" Screamed the freckle girl again, Troy and Gabriella looked back at her and laughed, she blushed and turned away; pushing up her honking glasses. Troy looked at Gabriella, "you want a ride to your place?" Gabriella bit her lip, Troy looked at her, "or are we going to your place?" She looked at him, "my place is closer..." Troy chuckled, "your place then. Want a ride?" she nodded, he stood up and held out his hand for her.

They got off the bus. Troy opened the door for her in his car and she slipped inside. Troy opened the other side getting in and driving to her apartment.

*Have A Little Faith In Me*

They pulled up to the apartment buildings and Troy parked his car. Gabriella looked at him, "This is it." he nodded, "Nice." she sighed. they both got out walking up the stairs to her apartment. she unlocked the door going inside.

Troy's eyes went wide, she was still able to keep a house spotless. Gabriella layed her purse and keys on the table. "umm want some coffee?" she asked going over to the coffee machine.

"Uhm..sure, just...no creamer." Gabriella rolled her eyes, "you and your aversion to creamer-" "hey, don't give me lip, it makes the coffee taste like shit." "Why are you talking in rhyme?" "Huh? What?"

"Never mind." they both laughed, Gabriella grabbed to coffee cups, and poured creamer in one of them and then coffee in both. "Here." "thanks."

She took a sip of her coffee. "Wanna sit?" he looked at her nodding, "Sure." they took a seat on the couch. Gabriella propped her legs behind her, taking sips of her coffee.

"I..um-" he started but she interupted him by putting her coffee cup on the table, "I need to take a shower." she got up from the couch going into the bathroom.

About 10 minutes later, Troy had finished his cup of coffee, the water in the shower was still going and the ache and urge to touch her grew bigger. Biting his inner cheek, Troy stood up from the couch, following the sound of the water hitting the side of the shower and he walked in; standing in the door frame.

He saw her silhouette through the curtain and then felt a sudden bulge in his pants. He groaned in pain, walking closer to the curtain and grabbing it in his hand. "..you got the money money she's got the hottie body, we wanna party party, so hook it all up..." he loved her voice, dammit!

He couldn't take it anymore, tossing open the curtain, "Troy! What's going on? What are you-" before she could finish her sentence, he stepped into the shower all clothed and crashed his lips on hers.

His hands roamed up her naked sides, pushing her back against the wall of the shower; his clothes already getting soaked. Her fingers tangled themselves in his hair as he kissed her neck, then her shoulders then her breasts; biting and nipping at her nipples.

She leaned her head back, "ooh...oh my.." then Troy went down on his knees, kissing the whole way down until he was eye level with her woman folds. He dug his tongue deep inside her, making her jump and writher beneath his lips, tongue and brungin touch.

Gabriella layed down on her back. Troy was over her, his clothes getting soaked as the water rained down on them. Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck, her hand sneaking down the back of his shirt.

Troy slipped off his shirt throwing it outside the shower grabbing her cheeks and crashing his lips against hers. Gabriella moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and their tongues tango with each other. "Troy.." she moaned. he smirked biting down on her sensitive skin to leave his mark. "T-Troy..B-Bedroom.."

Troy nodded lifting her out of the shower, wrapping her legs around his waist. Gabriella kissed him passionately as he was carrying her into her bedroom. he pushed her on the bed crawling ontop of her. her hands worked with his jeans. Troy moaned as her fingers came across his bulging friend. Troy was still in his jeans, and he was sucking on Gabriella's neck. Gabriella pulled away, "Troy..S-Stop..I can't do this.." She whispered.

"Why...?" Troy whispered, leaning his forehead against hers, and pecking her lips tenderly, he was shirtless, soaking wet and she moaned lightly. She missed him. "I..I...I just..." Troy moved the kisses to along her collar bone. She moaned louder when his finger dove inside her folds and her hips bucked against his hand. "Why can't you do this...?"

Gabriella moaned, "I...I..Oh!" his tongue made a track from the crease of her breasts, down to her belly button, dipping his tongue inside. Gabriella moaned, "Answer me brie.. Why can't you do this?" she moaned, "I..I.." he attached his lips to hers, then traveled down to collar bone, then around her breasts. "Oh hell with it!" she moaned grabbing his cheeks, looking him in the eyes, "Make love to me! hard! like you never did before!"

Troy pushed her hard against the bed, attaching his lips to hers. Gabriella pressed her lips against his passionately, she pulled away going at his jeans and taking them off, and slipping her hands to his butt. Troy moaned as she did that. "Brie.." he moaned, she giggled, "I'm not being fair to you." he smirked as slipped off his boxers. Gabriella's eyes went wide, "Wow.. is it just me, or is it bigger then when I last saw it?" she giggled.

"It went through a growing spurt within the last few minutes..." Troy said, kissing her neck, she arched her head back as a giggle erupted from her lips, then Troy lifted his head staring at the butterfly on the back of her neck. "What...when did you get a tattoo?"

Gabriella rolled over, straddling him and she bent down to kissing a trail down his stomach; following the trail of brown-blond hair that disappeared beneath the rim of his boxers. "I got it three years ago...it was a dare, and I didn't want to get a snake..or a dragon."

Troy kissed her on the lips, between kisses he pulled down the rim of his boxers, "check it.." "a lightning bolt?" "Four years ago...the lakers called me Flash, so I thought it fit-and I was obsessed with Harry Potter.." "so you turned gay for awhile then?"

Gabriella teased between kisses, Troy pulled back, "Harry Potter doesn't make you gay!" Gabriella giggled, kissing him hard and good as she rotated her hips on his crotch and then slid his boxers all the way down.

He moaned, running his hands through her drying hair, but he missed her in his arms. "mm.." he moaned, rolling over so he was on top of her, Thrusting hard into her, making her jump and squeal.

"Oh my...Troy!" he kissed her with a passionate fire and thrust harder, "God! Troy, your gonna kill me!" Troy chuckled, moaning and speaking while still kissing her, "you killed me when you left...you killed me when I thought you and Cory had sex in the closet..you killed me when you said you hated me. So this is payback.." Gabriella moaned in response, Troy kissed her harder, as he said, "payback in the sweetest form."

Troy crawled further ontop of her, her fingers running through his hair. His member still pulsing inside of her. Gabriella moaned, "Oh Troy! I love you!" he looked at her smiling, "You really mean it?" she giggled, nodding.

He pressed his lips to hers gently, holding himself up with his arms, looking over her. she giggled, playing with his damped collapsed over her, pulling her close to him.

He smiled taking her necklace into his hand, tracing the capital T with his fingers. "You still have it." she smiled, "I remember when you first gave it to me... you were nervous to tell me you loved me, and you got me that for our 1 year anniversary.." she smiled.

Troy chuckled, "Hey...that's because I was nervous." Gabriella smiled, putting a hand on his cheek, tracing circles on his bare shoulder. "I...I really did miss you wildcat." Troy smiled, "it's been forever since I heard that name.." she giggled, "it's also been forever since you've worn your Blue's Clue's boxers, but I'm happy you wore them today." Troy chuckled, "something told me to wear them today..."

Gabriella smiled, kissing his sweaty lips gently, pecking them lightly. she yawned, "I'm tired.." he smiled, "Then sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." Gabriella bit her lip, "Okay." her eyes shut lightly. Troy covered her up, and kissed her shoulder, "Goodnight Brie." and he let darkness over come him.
