Chapter 7

"Okay, so I'll order the pizza while you get the sodas." I tell Gabriella, who is standing in the kitchen of my new house. Yep! I've moved away from mom and dad. Big boy Troy! That sounded so lame...

"Just make sure that it has bacon!" Gabriella called. It was crazy. We'd spent the last 6 days as a couple. We'd both moved into our own homes, yet she spent almost all her time at mine. She even has her own toothbrush! I really want to ask her to move in...but maybe it's too soon. A few more weeks shouldn't be too long. I 'll ask her then. "Dr. Pepper?" She asked, snapping me right out of my thoughts.

"Yep. Pizza should be here in 45 minutes." Did you know that you can order Dominos Pizza online(its true!)? Gabriella brought over the sodas and sat them on the coffee table. She plopped down right next to me on the couch. I looked at the clock, it was only 8:45.

"What movie?" Gabi held up four different ones...all being mushy love dovey romance sappy stories. I groaned.

"Does it have to be a romance story?" She giggled. I gave in when she gave a smile. "Fine, I pick..." I pointed to a random movie.

"Broke back mountain?" She seemed surprised.

"Yeah! I totally love it! The message is great." I'm lieing through my teeth right now. I've never seen the movie in my entire life...

"Troy

"Just so we're clear, I totally knew that." She giggles befor planting a kiss on me. Just as she is about to pull away, I thrust my tounge into her mouth. She seemed surprised at first, but soon relaxes into the kiss. She snakes her arms around my neck as I lift her onto my lap. Our tounges are dueling with each other. We kiss until we're out of breath. Gabriella looks me dead in the eye before saying...

"Troy?" She started, "Bed...now." I love it when she's demanding. Withouth hesitation, I lift her up into the air and start to make my way there. Gabriella starts kissing me again, giggling everytime I bumped into something. I gently laid her down on the bed. She kept her arms around my neck. Gabi ran her hands through me hair. She kept me close to her body. I pushed her top off of her body. I placed small kisses on her collarbone as she moaned. I'm not sure how, but she made it so that she was straddling my hips. She gave me a seductive smile before we continued with our um, 'activities'...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gabriella and I were laying silently. It was 3:00 am. I'd have to get up for work in 4 hours. I was still extremely exgausted. Let's just say that Gabriella is like the energizer bunny when she's in bed. That was one of the many amazing things about her. Gabs shifted slightly. She moved so that her head was resting on my chest. "I love you Gabi." Where did that come from?

"Do you really? You're not just saying that because of what just happened?" The force against me was gone. Gabi's breathtaking brown eyes were staring directly at me.

"I do. Why would you think that?"

"I think that all Jason wanted from me was sex." She slept with him?! When?! Why?!

"Well, maybe he didn't love you. Why are you still thinking about him anyway?" I'll admit, I shouldn't have said that. Gabriella seemed irritated.

"Maybe because I love...loved him! How could you even ask that?!" Her tone was rising.

"I'm asking because you and I are dating. If you weren't over him, then why are we even together?" I scoffed. "I didn't mean that."

"I know. Argh! Why is this so hard?!" That time, she wasn't speaking to me. It was a retorical question. She rose from the bed and began to pace.

"Why is what so hard?"

"Getting over him. Moving on. Trying to forget how much I miss him." That hurt. "Troy I didn't mean that. It's not always. I...just sometimes the things we do remind me of him. It's like he's still there."

"Trust me, a few more nights like the one we just had, and you'll forget all about Jackson." She laughed. A smile crossed her face.

"It's Jason. I'm pretty sure I will too."

"Gabi, I'm not letting you go again. Just go home for a bit. I'm not kicking you out, but maybe the fact that you've slept over every night since I moved in has got something to do with it." She smirked. What was she planning?

"Yeah. I'll be over some other day then." She gathered her belongings. I didn't mean now!

"I don't want you to go yet! It's 3am!" She giggled.

"Fine, but I'm going when the sun comes up." I smiled. She laid back down and we both fell into a deep slumber...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Troy! Wake up. I made breakfast." Gabi whispers in my ear. I open my eyes and smile. Gabriella was wearing one of my button-ups. It was buttoned all the way to the third button. Her hair was out in curls again. She looked absoultely stunning. "I made waffles, eggs, toast, and bacon." I laughed. Of course she would prepare bacon. I patted the spot next to me ash she came over with the tray in her possession. She placed a tender kiss on my lips as she sat down. "Good morning sleepy."

"Good morning beauty." Gabi giggled. "What time is it?"

"Five." I nodded as we began to eat. "I wanted to make sure I got you up before you left for work." I smiled.

"Know what I just realized?"

"What?"

"We forgot about the pizza." The two of us burst into fits of laughter.

"How did that happen?"

"Well, we were kinda busy..." She giggled once more.

"True."

"By the way, you never told me what made you change."

"Change?" She furrowed a brow. "What have I changed?"

"Your hair. Why'd you cut it?" It'd been bothering me scine I saw her.

"Oh, well it was kinda like me growing up. It's more...sophisticated. That and my mommy suggested it. Plus, I got some gum stuck in it." I laughed.

"I like it. It's sexy." She giggled. Just then the phone rang. "I'll get it." Gabi nodded as I got up from the bed. "Y'ello?"

"Hey! Haven't heard from you in a while!" A cheery voice says. I regonize it a little.

"Who is this?" The person chuckled.

"I can't believe you don't remember my voice. It's Mel."

"Melissa?!" Gabi's head whipped in my direction. She lifts one of her brows at me. "Wow! I haven't spoken to you since..."

"Summer '07?" We both laugh. Gabriella gets up and comes closer to me. Her arms are folded.

"Um, how did you get my number?" It was scary how she just magically called...

"Oh, well your parents gave it to me. I called them asking for you, and they told me you moved out. Finally on your own huh?" I chuckled. Gabriella leaned an ear to the phone.

"Yeah. So, how you been?"

"I've been great. I was actually coming to town for a few days. Kinda need a place to stay."

"You could stay here." I say. Gabriella glared at me. She pulled her ears away from the phone.

"Really?!" I nodded, forgeting that she couldn't see me.

"Yeah! We could catch up on old times." She laughed.

"Ok, cool. I'll see you soon!" We said goodbye and hung up.

"You could stay here!" Gabriella mocks me. The way her face was, it seemed as if she was angry.

"Is there something wrong with that?" I asked, a little confused.

"Yes! Troy, do you not remember what she did 5 years ago? How could you let her stay in the same house as you?!" She threw her hands up in frustation.

"Gabi, I thought we got past that little incident." Why was she so worried? Gabi plopped down once more.

"We did!" She sighed and rested her head in her hands. "I'm just worried about her intentions. She didn't exactly leave a good impression on me." I walked over and sat next to her. I wrapped my arms around her.

"Gabs, you have to trust me. What relationship works without-"

"Trust?" She interuppted. I remained quiet. Gabriella knew that line entirely too well. She let out a heavy sigh before speaking again. "I trust you. Besides, it's only for a few days." I kissed the top of her head. "You're all mine. If she tries anything, you let me know. I'll handle her." I couldn't tell if she was joking or not. Gabi sat up and looked me in the eyes. When she laughed, I smiled. "I'm joking Troy!" I began to chuckle along with her. We leaned in for another kiss...

DING DONG!!!

I groaned as Gabriella laughed. Why are we always interuppted? I pulled on some sweats and we both headed to the door. "If it's Chad, I'll hurt him."

"Why do you always answer the door shirtless?" Gabriella questioned. I grinned, happily as we made our way to the door. I put an arm around her as hers snaked around my waist. We opened the door...

"Surprise!"

"That's for sure." Gabriella snorted.

"Melissa, you're here..."
