It was around 4:40, and Gabriella was helping her mother putting things on the tables. "what time did you tell him to be gabi?" Her father james asked. she sighed, "I told him 5." James nodded, he needed to check this guy out.
Troy walked in with Chad, Andrew, and Ryan "Oh good.." Chad started, "The ultimate Montez Barbeque." he came over to the hot dogs, Lilly smacked his hand, "oww! Mrs Montez! what did I do?" she gave him a stern look, "Chad, there are other people here." Chad sighed.
Troy came over to Gabriella, wrapping his arms around her, "There's my girl." she giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him. "I missed you wildcat." he smiled, "I've missed you too... is he here yet." she shook her head, "Not yet...Troy I'm..I'm kind of nervous, was this a good idea?" she asked him looking him in the eyes.
Troy kissed her lips softly, "He'll be here..." Gabriella bit her lip, "I hope so..." Minutes pass, and soon enough it's five o'clock. And still no Greg Carter. Gabriella sighed, sitting by the table, pushing her fries around her plate. "Brie.." Troy said, sitting next to her. "He's not...here Troy." Troy sighed, "He's probably running late. Everyone runs late..."
Gabriella sighed, "I..I'm going to go inside." she pushed her plate away and went inside. Troy sighed, "I'll go with her." he got up after her and he saw her at the fridge getting out some chocolate milk and some string cheese, shutting the fridge door with her elbow. "His not coming." she muttered.
Troy came over to her. lifting her up on the counter. "Listen, I love you baby, and if he never shows, he blew it, he doesn't know what his missing." Gabriella sighed, looking down at his hands, "I..I just don't understand it at all." he sighed, "I don't either.. I hate it when someone treats you like this." she smiled, running her hand through his hair, and kissing him passionately.
"let's forget the cookout." he smiled, "But brie-" she put a finger to his lips, "Would you rather be sitting outside in the heat, flies in your burger, or would you rather be upstairs in my room making love to me?" she giggled with a smile.
Before Gabriella could do anything, Troy crashed his lips on hers and lifted her up by grabbing her ass and picking her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her up the stairs to her bedroom;
Gabriella ran her hands through his hair. He pushed open the door with his back, kicking it closed with his foot and then flopping them both on the bed.
Greg pulled into the driveway, yes; he's late...but he didn't mean too, his AA meeting ran over and then there was Jack. Poor guy, he's doing so well and the withdrawals don't make it any easier.
Greg knows how that is; alcoholic's go through somewhat of the same thing. So, he had to help his friend first before coming over here. And now...Greg's knocking on the door.
James heard a knock on the front door and he went around the front to see who it was. when he got up there he saw a tall man standing at the door, with his hands stuffed in his pockets. "Are you Greg?" Greg jumped and turned around to come face to face with James.
Greg smiled, "Umm yeah, I'm sorry I'm late, I had this meeting and was helping out a friend.." James nodded, "That's okay. James Montez." he held out a hand. Greg shook his hand, "Nice to meet you.. Greg Carter." James nodded, "Well Gabriella is inside, so shall we go get her?" Greg nodded, "Yeah..I'd like that."
James walked infront of him opening the door. "Gabriella?" he said looking around. "Gabi?" he spoke once more. "She must be upstairs." They both walked up the stairs, and James put his hand on the knob.
"Gabi you're-" when the door opened, He saw Troy ontop of Gabriella. they were both naked, and Troy was pumping in and out of her. Gabriella looked at the door, "Oh my god!" she shrieked and pushed Troy off of her. "I...I..uh.." she stammered.
Oh Shit.
Gabriella bit her lip, "ummm we were just-" "Gabriella! were you just!..are you!... oh my god! Gabi!" James shouted. Gabriella covered herself up, "Daddy..I..me and Troy we've..we've been together so long, that..that we did it about a week ago... for the firs time-"
"You mean this isn't the first time?!" Gabriella looked at Troy, and shook her head, "No, Daddy, but..but we are safe, we..we used protection, and I'm on the pill.."
James' face was close to turning purple, Greg stepped in. "Uh...maybe you should ...go downstairs." James looked at him, "I am..sorry you..I didn't know-" "I understand, now go..you look like your head's going to explode." James took a few deep breaths, then he walked out of the room and down the stairs. Greg took a breath, not turning around. "You both have about...oh say, 15 minutes to get something -anything- covering yourselves."
Troy gulped, "I don't think-" "14." Gabriella's eyes widened, "Okay...uhm.." she got out of the bed, grabbing her yellow bathrobe and then tossing her second bathrobe-which happened to be pink- at Troy. "We're covered." Greg turned around, his lips short of being an amused smile, "you guys...really need to learn how to lock the door don't you?"
Troy's mouth dropped, his eyes bulging out of his skull. Identical to Gabriella's. "Uh...you're not-" "I mean, I know we all make mistakes like that and all...but that seems like a pretty basic thought to me..."
"Woah!" Troy said, standing up from the bed. "You're not mad?" Greg shook his head, "your human, we all are; we have urges. I understand that...you just could've locked the door. At least you were using protection." Gabriella looked at him, biting her lip, "you..I uh...I thought you wouldn't come cause you were late." "I had some uh..things to take care of." "Like?" Troy asked, Greg looked at him. "My AA meeting ran over a little, and then a friend of mine was having a hard time with his withdrawals.."
Gabriella bit her lip, and looking at him, "I..um.. well, we are going to get dressed, umm you can wait in the living room." Greg nodded and turned out the door. Gabriella shut the door behind him, and locked it. Troy smirked, "Brie." she took off her Robe, and wrapped her arms around him. "I wanna finish."
He chuckled, pecking her lips, "We can't babe." she sighed, "Fine then." she went over to the dresser, and bending down. Troy was pulling up his boxers and jeans, and he turned around to see her bend over so he could see her naked butt.
"Hey, why not we just take about 5 minutes to finish it." he smirked. Gabriella giggled pulling out her underwear out of her drawer. she giggled, "Nope. you already made up you're mind."
Troy sighed, "You wanted to at first.." Gabriella giggled, turning around and going to wrap her arms around his neck. "Hey, you're the one who said it not me.." Troy chuckled, leaning closer to her, "uh huh...well, I have a big mouth." "And a big head." Gabriella giggled, Troy laughed, shaking his head. "No that's you..cause that big brain of yours needs to fit in there somehow."
Gabriella giggled, pecking his lips softly, Troy deepened it; soon they were lying flat on the bed again. But, they were interrupted when Greg came in again; apparently, he never went down to the living room. "Hey guys, did I also tell you that putting a sock on the door could be a big help for privacy to?"
Troy looked up at him, and cleared his throat, "Umm we'll be down in a minute." Greg sighed, "Are you really going to be down in a minute?" Gabriella giggled, playing with the side of his hair. Troy smiled leaning his forehead on hers and pecking her lips.
Greg sighed, "Apparantly not." he closed the door. Gabriella smiled "His gone.." Troy smiled, looking into her eyes, "mmm-hmm." she smiled pecking his lips, "Make love to me..and don't ever stop." she whispered in his ear.
Troy chuckled, wrapping his arms around her waist. Gabriella giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately.
Troy wasn't complaining but he pulled away after five seconds, "Your dad's here...you should be visiting with him." Gabriiella sighed, "You trying to get rid of me?" Troy chuckled, shaking his head. "Far from it...it's just that he's your father."
Gabriella sighed, running her fingers through the back of his hair. he smiled kissing her lips, leaning his forehead against hers, "I love you, okay? but you need to get to know your dad, that's what you wanted, wasen't it?" Gabriella sighed, "I actually wanted to get to know both my parents, but I doubt that's going to happen."
He cupped her cheek, "Brie, you don't need her, you have me, and the rest of us, especially me." she giggled, "Wildcat, can you promise me something?" he nodded, "Yeah anything." she smiled, "Even if.. it's a big 'If' but if we ever break up.. can you promise me we will still be best friends..?"
He pecked her lips softly, leaning his forehead on hers. "I promise we'll always be friends, but if-and it's a damn big if-we do ever break up, don't expect me to go easy on any other guy you date." Gabriella giggled, "I can deal with that..."
"Really?" Gabriella giggled, then she smirked, "well...only if you can handle me interrogating any other girls that you date." Troy laughed, "We'll always have each other's backs then." "Always."
Gabriella pecked his lip lightly, and reach over on the floor with him still ontop, and reaching for her bra and shirt. Troy crawled off of her and slipped on his T-shirt.
Gabriella had her bra and shirt on. "Troy.. where did you throw my underwear?" she got up looking under the bed. He smirked coming over to her and wrapping his arms around her waist, "I threw it somewhere." Gabriella rolled her eyes, "That was my second pair."
He chuckled, "Well you have more in your drawer." she rolled her eyes going over to her drawer, and getting one out and slipping it on. he smiled moving some hair out of her face, "You're beautiful." he whispered.
Gabriella smiled softly, and turned to face him, "So speaking about dating other guys... If- that's a big if, what will they have to do to get your approval?" she smiled asking.
"You sound sure of them getting my approval?" Troy asked, trying to hide
a smile. Gabriella giggled, "I'm serious.." "I'd put them through a
series of tests before I give my 'consent' to be with you." Gabriella giggled, crossing her arms over her chest, "well...I'll have to say the same for any girl you date IF we do EVER break up-which, I highly doubt."
Troy chuckled, bringing her in close to him and kissing her on the lips. "Hey, I like that your doubting it. I'm doubting it too. I want us together." Gabriella smiled into his lips, "me too."
Troy smiled, holding her face, and kissing her forehead, "Let's get downstairs." Gabriella nodded picking up her dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry basket laying in her room. as they walked downstairs, James and Lilly Montez were standing in the kitchen, and Andrew came over to Troy, "Dude, you slept with my sister!" he pushed him, Gabriella pushed him back, "Andrew! Stop it!" Greg stood there watching them.
James sighed, "Gabriella, I'm not very happy about.. about you two..you know." Gabriella sighed, "Daddy..I love him so much, and were careful, were using protection..and I'm on the pill." Lilly sighed, "Honey, but their not 100% effective."
Gabriella bit her lip, "I know..but." she went over to him and hugging him, "I love him very much, and it's our decision." Andrew wasen't happy about the news. He wanted them together, but he didn't want them to have sex. "You slept with my sister!"
Gabriella looked at him, "Andy! stop it! It wasen't just him, it was me too! so stop jumping on him-" Andrew glared at Troy. Troy sighed, "Andrew, I love your sister, alright? I won't ever do anything to hurt her." Gabriella wrapped her arms around his waist, "And..And I wanna marry him when we graduate.."
"Uh..." Troy said, looking at the eager faces. "Gabriella, I think that..and i"m being honest here, but I agree with your mom but I want to marry you." Gabriella bit her lip, not knowing what to say, but knowing deep down that Troy was right and Lilly was right. It was-is- reasonable to wait until after college. "I Understand..." she said, her voice soft.
James sighed, "We shall discuss this later on Gabriella." Gabriella nodded holding Troy's hand. and Andrew looked at his father, "Dad! shouldn't they.. you know, be separated or something? they had sex in your house!" Gabriella looked at him, "Yeah but it was my room." "And it should of been locked!"
James sighed, "Quiet.. let's enjoy the lovely barbeque that your mother prepared, and make our guest feel welcomed." Everybody nodded, going outside and getting food ready. Gabriella had a plate, and she handed one to Greg. he smiled, "Thanks." Gabriella smiled, "So um..do you have a job besides working at the halloween store?" she asked getting a hamburger bun.
He smiled, "umm I actually am a waiter at Callihans." her eyes went wide, "That place? that is so cool." He chuckled, "Ever been there." Gabriella shook her head, putting ketchup and cheese on her hamburger. "No, I haven't.. but me and Troy were thinking about eating there for the sweethearts dance.. and we just might now, if you can get us a discount." she giggled.
Greg laughed, "Maybe, I'll have to think about it." Gabriella giggled, "Well...I"m glad you came." Greg smiled, "Glad I could make it." his phone rang, "oh uh..excuse me." he dug his phone out of his pocket and walked into the living room as he put it to his ear when he pushed the green button.
"Hello?" "Greg..." he sighed, rolling his eyes. "Jack..I can't talk right now, I'm busy-" "I don't feel so good man-oh God.." there was a sound of hurling. "Jack just...I'll be there...just let me spend time with my daughter-" "I need you man!"
Greg sighed looking at his daughter who was sitting down beside the blonde girl who was wearing alot of pink and they were laughing about something. Greg smiled, "Jack, I'll be there as soon as I can..I just..I need to be here for my daughter..I'm sorry." and he hung up the phone, sighing.
"Do you want a soda?" a voice spoke, Greg looked to his left and saw Troy giving him a coke. He smiled, "Um yeah thanks." he took a sip. Troy sighed, "umm I wanna say thanks for being cool about the whole.. you know.."
Greg nodded, "Yeah, No problem.. just don't hurt her okay? take good care of her." he looked over and saw Gabriella and Sharpay taking pictures.
Troy laughed, "I will. I'd never hurt her." Greg smiled, "Glad to hear that." He took a sip of his coke, Troy sighed, looking at him then looking away. "You have a friend name...well, whose Jack?" Greg looked at him, "you caught my call huh?" an awkward laugh, "Well he's uh...he's a friend of mine."
Troy nodded, "my uh.. "Father" is named Jack." "why the quotation marks?" "Because...I don't think of him as a father. He left me and my mom when I was 3. He's not my father." "He'll always be your father."
Greg figured out that they were talking about the same guy, "He's really trying to turn his life around. People change." "not him." Troy said, "he will never-NEVER-change."
Greg nodded, "Not that I'm trying to pry.. but umm does Gabriella like him? or have they ever met?" Troy sighed, "Yeah, he said some things to her that really you know made me pissed off.. and when you say something to her infront of me, or I hear you said something behind her back, it gets ugly, cause no one talks about her that way..no one..especially..him."
Greg sighed, and looked at Gabriella who looked over at them and smiled warmly at him and at Troy. Greg sighed, "So umm about the whole marriage thing...are you two really serious about that?"
"I'm serious about her." Troy said, stiffening his upper lip, Greg put a hand on his shoulder. "Word of advice, don't let loose ends stay loose." Troy looked at him, "what the hell does that mean?" "It means, talk to your dad; he wants to be in your life just like I want to be in Gabriella's." Troy rolled his eyes, "is he still into drugs? Cause I don't want him-"
"He's working on it. I'm helping him...like he's helping me..." "You're a drug addict?-" "No. Alcoholic. Gabriella knows this, I told her...but alcoholism is almost the same as drug addiction." "How is it-" "Doesn't matter ...just go talk to your dad."
"Maybe." Troy muttered and walked over to Gabriella and sitting down beside her and wrapping an arm around her and kissing her forehead. Gabriella looked at him, "What were you and my dad talking about ?" he smiled pecking her lips, "You. how wonderful you are."
Gabriella smiled, "Stop being the sweetest boyfriend ever." he chuckled, "I'll stop when you stop being the most beautiful girl in the world.. which can't happen, so I can't stop." she giggled, "Stop being so sweet." she giggled feeding him a fry, and he took it in his mouth.
Chad rolled his eyes, "Will you two get a room or just stop..I'm trying to keep down my food." Taylor nudged him, "They're inlove-" "I don't care." Gabriella giggled playing with his hair, "Troy, did you hear something?"
Troy pretended to think, "Ehh..no not really-wait, I heard the sound of my...girlfriend about to kiss me." Gabriella giggled, "what does that sound like?" "I'll give you an example." Gabriella giggled as their lips met in a soft kiss. Chad gagged, "guys! Please! Come on! I'm eating!"
Troy rolled his eyes, Gabriella smiled and held his hand, leaning her forehead against his, "Troy let's do this later so Chad won't barf on us." Troy chuckled, "Okay." he pecked her lips, and they continued with the barbeque.
