Forbidden Beauty

Chapter 15.

"Okay," Sharpay said, smothering the last invincible wrinkles away from Troy's blue dress shirt. She placed a hand on his chest, and took a step back to admire him from afar, "Wow." She sighed, "You look really good, Troy!"

Troy smiled, and pulled the blonde girl in for a tight hug. She let him, and they stood there for about 5 minutes. They both knew they had to wrap it up, but they didn't want to let go. They wanted to make it last forever. Eventually, Sharpay did pull away though, and took another look at the handsome boy in front of her.

He was wearing jeans, the blue dress shirt, snickers, and his hair was perfect, just in place. But the best part of it wasn't the way he looked, it was the smile he had on his face. The smile she'd helped him get there, because she'd helped him be confident enough to ask out Gabriella.

And that was reason enough for her to feel really happy inside. She'd accomplished something huge. She'd done something for another human being, without getting something back. It was so not her, but she was happy about it. She felt good about it.

Troy looked at Sharpay, and took in her beauty. She was only wearing a pair of cute short boys shorts, and a tight light pink top. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, but she'd never looked more beautiful. At times, she could be the cute girl next door, like now, but at other times… she looked so darn sexy, that he didn't know what to do with himself.

He almost wished, she'd dressed up like that Friday he took her out on a date, and that he was taking her out again, in stead of Gabriella. He could imagine how much fun they'd have, and things would still be romantic.

Sharpay padded his shirt again, making sure it was perfect, even though she'd done that at least once a minute for the past half hour, he didn't get tired of it. It showed him she cared, and the warmth from her hand burned through the thin fabric of his clothes.

"She's gonna love you, Troy." Sharpay whispered, a smile hidden across his face, "She's gonna love you so much."

Troy took her hands and squeezed them with his own, "Thank you, Sharpay." He said, "Thank you so much for everything. You have no idea how much this actually means to me. It means everything."

Sharpay's lips turned into a huge smile, "I've had a wonderful time." she said, "Now, go get your girl!"

"Right!" Troy said, but he couldn't really get himself to leave. It was because he didn't want to. He wanted to stay there and be with her all night. He kept her hands in his, letting his fingers play with hers.

"Uhm, Troy?" Sharpay said, looking at him with questions in her eyes.

"Yes?" Troy said. He took a deep breath and their eyes locked. He slowly leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips, wanting to feel her one more time. He lingered there, and was surprised when she responded. She pulled her hands away from his, and placed them around his neck, giving him the last of her.

Troy pulled away. His breath was caught in his throat, but he had a smile on his lips. "Goodbye…" he whispered, and then he turned around and left her room.

Sharpay looked after him, softly closing the door behind him. A lonely tear rolled down her cheek.

--

Troy picked Gabriella up at her house, a weird feeling in his stomach. He politely helped her into his car, opened the door for her and everything. Then he got into the drivers seat, and started the ignition. Soon, they were on their way.

"I'm really happy we finally did this, Troy!" Gabriella said, shooting him one of her sweet smiles, "Aren't you?"

"Yeah…" Troy said, finding it hard to focus, "Yeah, I am."

Gabriella giggled, and started going on about something that happened at the Scholastic Decathlon Team, while Troy kept his gaze on the road, now and then shooting small glances at her.

She was looking beautiful. Her brown hair was framing her face in soft curls, the front of it pulled back into a silver buckle. She was wearing one of her many skirts. This one was flowered, a lot like the one she wore when they had their call-back for the Twinkle Town Musical. She wore a white shirt with it, and a silver necklace.

The only thing he didn't like about her appearance, was the way she'd done her makeup. It was so not a Gabriella – the sweet girl next door – look. She had done that smoky-thing, and she really couldn't pull that off.

Not like Sharpay could.

Oh, there he went again, thinking about Sharpay, a certain blonde girl, when really, he should be focussing on the certain brunette, sitting right next to him.

But he couldn't help it. It felt wrong. It felt wrong to sit there with her, to go out on a date with her. He felt like he was cheating on Sharpay, and he didn't know why. It was crazy, but he couldn't stop himself.

"…anyway," Gabriella continued, finally snapping Troy out of his daze, "So, I talked to Ryan last night on the phone. Apparently Sharpay broke up with her boyfriend out of nowhere last night after the Talent Show, and I he said that-"

"She did what!?" Troy asked, his eyes wide.

"Yeah, I know!" Gabriella said, "That was my reaction too! Ryan always told me that this Drew guy was one of the best guys she's been with, but suddenly she just broke up, and she didn't want to tell him why. And I who thought that she was talking about him when she was singing that song! I guess she wasn't."

"…no," Troy said, "Maybe she wasn't."

That made him wonder… Why did she break up with Drew? He knew she didn't love him, and that their relationship wasn't very deep, but she never implied that she wanted to break up with him. She said they only got together once in awhile when they wanted to fuck, but still… She seemed pretty happy with the way things were.

All though… She did say he demanded a lot from her, but she'd also said it was ok. He didn't know why she'd broken up with him, but now he was… curious.

Could it be because of him?

Nah, that would be too good to be true.

"…spend a lot of time with her, don't you, Troy?"

Troy snapped out of his thoughts again. He really had to stay focused on his date, and on the road, because otherwise, that could end in disaster. "I do." Troy said, "I mean did, I did… spend a lot of time with her. I don't anymore, I mean, our project is over, so why would I?"

"Well…" Gabriella said, "It just seemed like you guys got pretty close. Ryan said you were a lot at their house, more so than for working on the project."

"Well…" Troy trailed off, "I guess so… I mean, she ain't actually that bad. We had a lot of fun. She's sweet, funny and beautiful."

Gabriella looked at him, wonderment flashing across her face, "Well, if you say so… Maybe I should ask her to go shopping one day? I mean, I know Ryan, he's definitely not bad, so maybe Sharpay isn't either."

Troy smiled at her, "She isn't."

Gabriella sighed, a clasped her hands together, "Where are you taking me anyway?"

"Right here…" Troy said, just as they pulled into one of the rather fancy restaurants in town. It wasn't really rich-y, but it was the place most teenagers had their dates. He'd never taken Gabriella there before, though. They'd been on dates, but it had been more friendly dates. This was serious.

"Oh my God!" Gabriella said, getting out of the car, "Thank you so much, Troy!"

Troy just smiled at her, and led her inside. They found a table and sat down, ready to look for their order. Gabriella had a huge smile on her face, and she was really sweet and talkative tonight. She kept telling him how happy she was, and the smile on her face, was bigger than anything he'd ever seen.

But he just couldn't get himself to smile and be happy. It didn't feel right. How could he? It wasn't Sharpay sitting in front of him… It wasn't her he'd asked out. Why wasn't it her again? Suddenly it occurred to him… He should ask her out. He shouldn't be sitting there with Gabriella, because she wasn't the girl he loved.

Sharpay was.

Wait a minute. Did he love her…?

He thought about her again. Her beautiful, sexy looks. Her piercing brown eyes. The seductive way she moved. The was she kissed, the way she sang and danced, and the way she played the piano. Yes, he did. He did love her.

"…and more and more, and I was just like, ´Mom! You can't´-"

"I'm sorry Gabriella!" Troy interrupted her, pushing his chair back, "But I can't do this."

"What?" Gabriella asked, hurt written across her face, "Why? What's wrong Troy, you've been so distracted! Do you want to reschedule? What? Why?"

Troy took a deep breath, "There's someone else, Gabby."

Gabriella swallowed, taking in the information, "Oh…" she said, playing with the hem of her shirt, "Okay…" she paused and looked him deep in the eyes, "It's Sharpay, isn't it?"

Troy looked at her, feeling more and more ashamed of leading her on, for making her believe that they could happen again, when he'd known all along that they couldn't. He'd known all along that he'd fallen for Sharpay, so why had he pretended that he wasn't in love with her? That he didn't care?

"Yes…"

Gabriella got a huge smile on her face, and started laughing. She broke into such an infectious laughter, that gave them some attention from some of the other guests at the restaurant, but she didn't seem to mind. She kept laughing, and Troy just looked at her, not understand what was going on. He didn't know whether or not her laugh was bad.

"Gabby?" he said, "What- uhm, what are you doing?"

"Troy, it's okay!" Gabriella said, calming down, "It's okay. I mean… sure, I'd love to go out with you, but… I can see how much you care for her. I can see it, I know it. And it's okay with me. You've been spending so much time with her, and I kinda figured everything out after the Talent Show. That song was so obvious for Sharpay. She just didn't catch the hint."

"You knew!?" Troy exclaimed, "Then why did you say that the song I sang was for you, when you knew it was for Sharpay? Why did you agree to go out with me?"

"I kinda wanted to see how you acted." Gabriella confessed, "Y'know, when I talked about Sharpay, and you did nothing but space out. And wow, when I told you about Drew and the break-up!" she giggled, "You should have seen your face. You know, you might stand a chance with her now."

Troy sighed, "No, I don't." Troy said, "I was nothing but a project for her. A toy. Don't you get it, Gabby?"

"I don't think so, Troy." Gabriella smiled, "You see, Ryan is quite smart, actually. Sharpay has been acting weird lately. After she started hanging out with you. She became more happy, and more sweet."

"That could be for many reasons…" Troy began.

"Little Troy," Gabriella said, flipping him on the forehead with a finger, "Use your brain. I thought you were smarter than that!? Didn't you hear the song she sang at the Talent Show? It was so obvious that she was singing for you! It didn't take Ry and I very long to figure that out. Seems like you're just a dumb as she is, when we talk about taking hints."

Troy looked up, hope in his face, "You're serious?"

Gabriella smiled, "Yes, Troy," she said, "Now, you should go home and get your girl."

Troy stood up, and was about to run out from the restaurant. He quickly went for the door, but paused there. He turned around and ran right back, "But I can't just leave you here!" he exclaimed, his voice high.

"Don't worry," Gabriella said, "I've got it all covered."

She pointed behind him, and Troy turned around to find Ryan in a corner, waving at him.

"You guys rock!" he exclaimed, and this time he ran as fast as he could out of the restaurant, and into his car. He was going to talk to Sharpay, whether she liked it or not!

He believed he'd never driven that fast, and he was possibly crossing the speed limit, but at the moment he didn't care. All he wanted to do was reach Sharpay. He had to speak to her. It was a matter of life and death.

When he reached her house, he parked the car by the pavement, and jumped out. He rushed to the front door, and started ringing the door bell and knocking on the door at the same time. He kept doing that on and on, until the door was opened by Mr. Evans. He was looking rather mad.

"Sorry Mr. Evans," Troy breathed, brushing past him, "I just have to go to see Sharpay, I'll catch you later!"

Before Mr. Evans could reply, Troy rushed up the stairs, and out of his sight. He continued down the hall, not noticing the many paintings he'd always stopped to look at. They didn't matter right now. Only Sharpay did.

He forcefully knocked on her door, his heart beating like hell, half way up in his throat. He thought she was taking too long to open, but when she finally did, she seemed shocked to see him there:

"Troy, what are you-"

He cut her off, by putting his lips on top of hers. He pushed her backwards through the door, slapping it close behind him. Her back hit the wall, but she didn't seem to mind. She hesitated at first, but soon kissed him back with the same force as he was kissing her.

He was glad that she'd pulled almost the same trick on him the other day when they came home from ´Little Ms. Mommy's´, because he'd taken a few pointers.

She finally broke their kisses, and finished her sentence; "…doing here?"

"Let's not talk." Troy said, his hormones taking over his body. He didn't have time to talk, he needed her right now, and they could talk sometime else. He just had to be with her soon, or he'd lose his mind.

Sharpay looked confused, but he didn't see the hurt in her eyes, he just leaned in and kissed her again. This time, she was hesitant at first too, but she gave in, when his hands slowly sneaked their way around her slender waist, and up her top, to caress her skin. His fingers were cold, and they left a trail of ice behind them on her skin, when they went higher and higher.

She didn't know what was happening. She wasn't in control, and that hadn't happened many times with her. She always knew what was going on, she was almost always in charge, but Troy was acting so… so un-Troy, so demanding, and she didn't know if she liked that or not.

A thing she was sure of though, was that he was going all the way, she could feel it, and she didn't care. She let herself loose and enjoyed the feeling of Troy right there with her, even though she didn't know why he was with her, and not on his date with Gabriella.

Troy pressed his body into hers, pushing her harder against the wall than she'd been before. His mouth left hers, and started trailing little kisses down her cheeks, to her chin, down her neck, and to the valley between her breasts. He could easily reach it, because of the very revealing top she wore, which also gave him a nice look at her cleavage.

She let out a sensational moan, as her fingers sneaked around his neck, to hold his head in place, and play with his hair. She was already breathing hard, because she hadn't been able to think straight since he stormed through the door, forcefully placing his lips on top of hers.

He placed his mouth on top of hers again, and pressed his tongue through her lips, wanting to fight with hers. She happily obliged, and they were soon having a fight in her mouth.

Troy moved his hands away from her body, and let them trail up her sides on the outside of her top. He moved them down again though, to grab the material. He quickly broke their kiss, pulling the top over her head, but their mouths joined again the second it was possible, wanting to fight more and harder.

Troy pulled her backwards with him, a firm grip on her sides. They landed on the bed, Sharpay on top of him. He quickly flipped them around, wanting to be on top.

She was busy fumbling with the buttons on his shirt. Those buttons she'd so neatly buttoned earlier, not having thought that she would be the one to open them again. She'd thought that maybe Gabriella would have…

He kissed her on the neck again, just as she managed to slip his shirt off, and while he did that, she went straight to working on his jeans. She fumbled with his belt, and when that was open, it didn't take long for his jeans to lie on the floor, right next to his shirt.

They were both breathing hard, but they didn't slow down to catch their breath. They simply didn't have time, all they wanted and needed right that moment was each other, and they didn't even have time to stop and think, to stop and talk.

He kissed her hard on the mouth again, his hands slipping up her thighs and into the very small shorts she was wearing. She let out another moan as his hands roamed her body. She was craving for more, God, she really need him.

It didn't take Troy very long to fling the shorts into the other end of the room, and they were both left in their underwear. Sharpay's hands were feeling their ways around his chest, while his mouth was tormenting her stomach and the sensitive skin between her breasts.

He flipped them over, and got ready to hook her bra open.

He couldn't really believe that this was happening. 30 minutes ago, he was with Gabriella, and now he was in the middle of a crazy foreplay with the most sexy girl he'd ever met, the girl he was in love with. He didn't know how it happened, but he knew it was crazy. He should have talked to her first, and explained everything. If Gabriella wasn't right, he was setting himself up for a heartbreak in the morning.

But he couldn't control himself. Not with her. He needed this with her. He needed to be with her. Even if the morning was going to be awkward. Even if she told him she didn't have any feelings for him, he'd always have this night to remember her.

Because he was sure it was gonna be amazing. It was his first time, and he knew she'd make it worth it.

Sharpay didn't know what was going on, all she knew was that Troy was making her feel better than any other boy she had ever been with. And maybe it was because she wasn't in charge. Even though it was his first time, he took control, and she really admired that.

The only thing she could really think of, was how amazing this night had been so far.

And it was only about the get more amazing, when Troy removed her underwear, and carefully entered her.


Okay then, that was a definitely M , and yeah, I hope you liked it, and that it wasn't too graphic or anything. I really had trouble writing some of it, because I wanted to get their feelings just right, but that really didn't happen very well, so I'm not completely satisfied with this chapter, but I had to post it :) Next chapter should be here soon. As soon as possible.

A word from our Friends:

Ross: (grabbing a notepad and sitting down) All right, we'll start off slow. The only thing you have to do tonight is come up with the name of your main character.

Joey: Done!

Ross: And it can't be Joey.

Joey: It's not.

Ross: Or Joseph.

Joey: (disappointed) Oh.

Lol, I'll be back soon, remember to review! I'm so excited to hear what you guys think about this chapter! Tootles, Stessa ;p
