"I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you..." Sharpay sang while dancing around Gabriella's bedroom with her hair wrapped in curlers.
Taylor covered her ears with her hands and groaned. "Sharpay, you've been singing that song all day."
Sharpay shrugged and skipped to Gabriella's connecting bathroom. "I can't help that the song is awesome, ok? Write a letter to Leona Lewis and blame her, not me."
"Oh, yes. I'm right on it." Taylor said, sarcastically while Kelsi curled her hair.
Sharpay rolled her eyes and knocked on the bathroom door. "Gabs, are you ok? You've been in there for like 15 minutes now." She nodded as she heard Gabriella yell, "I'm shaving." from the other side of the door. "Well, hurry up. Your mother said that our limo will be here in 10 minutes." She walked back to Gabriella's room and grabbed her coral pink beaded-trim pleated halter dress that hit above her knee. She slipped it over strapless bra and panties before looking at herself in the mirror. Taking, the curlers out of her hair her golden hair was left in curls with pink shadow's along her face. She smiled victoriously. "I am so hot."
Taylor and Kelsi chuckled while slipping their dresses on. A blue sequined-bust babydoll dress covered Kelsi's olive skin while her hair was left in a half ponytail with very natural make-up left upon her face. Taylor wore a red one-shoulder tiered shimmy dress, her hair was left down in curly ringlets and gold's covered Taylor's face. "Gabi, hurry up!" Taylor yelled, slipping her gold heels on.
"I thought my mom said that the limo would be here in 20?" Gabriella asked, walking out of her bathroom. She straightened out her black halter dress that hit above her knee. A pearl detail sat where the two black straps met at the bust. Her hair was straightened and left down. Black eye-shadows covered her eyes and a nude, beige lip-gloss outlined her lips.
"Gabi, you look so awesome." Sharpay cheered, while hugging her brunette friend. "Tonight we're going to have so much fun."
Gabriella smiled. "Thanks. You guys all look super pretty. I can't believe that tonight is my 18th birthday." she cheered,while slipping her black pumps on.
Taylor sighed and let a smile crack upon her face. "Well, let's go babes. The limo should be here anytime." She said, walking out of the door with the other three girl's following her.
"Bye mom and dad." Gabriella said, grabbing her black clutch that had pearls outling it.
Sonia eyed her daughter. "Promise me that you'll behave tonight, Gabs. Your father and I are trusting you to run your party accordingly, ok?" she said, running a hand through Gabriella's straight hair.
Gabriella smiled gently and kissed her on the cheek. "Mom, please. This is my night and you owe it to me, not to nag or anything. Trust me when I say that I have everything under control. Love you." she said, walking toward the door.
"Happy birthday, Gabs." Sonia said, sighing as she walked the brunette walk out of the door.
"Ok, so explain who you invited again." Kelsi said, as the limo drove them to the Mariott Hotel ballroom where the party would take place.
Gabriella clicked her tongue and thought for a moment. "I can't name everyone, but over 150 I invited." she said, playing with her bright white colored nails.
"That's cool, but I swear Gabs, if this party blows, I'm on your ass, ok?" Sharpay said, eyeing her friend.
"Yeah, ok." Gabriella laughed. A bright smile spread along her face. "Finally, we're here." she cheered.
Sharpay pulled her friend into a hug and smiled. "I'm glad to see that you're happy tonight Gabs. I haven't seen you this happy in a while."
Gabriella smiled faintly. "I'm always happy, Shar."
"Nah. Ever since the whole marriage thing, you've just been weird in a way. Like you're always sad or depressed now-a-days. I love and miss the fun, cheery Gabriella."
A sigh escaped Gabriella's lips as she hugged her friend again. "Trust me, Shar, the marriage isn't even on my mind tonight. This is my 18th birthday and I'm going to enjoy it."
"Is Troy coming tonight?" Taylor asked, while Robert, the driver parked in front of the hotel.
Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, I think so. Let's not talk about that though, let's go." she said, opening the door. "Thanks Robert." she called out. An 'O' surrounded her mouth as the brisk, windy night fluttered her dress upwards. She flattened it and jogged upwards to the hotel's steps with Sharpay, Taylor and Kelsi behind. "It's my birthday." she cheered, walking into the hotel, receiving confused look. She turned to a middle-aged woman as she felt a tap upon her shoulder.
"I'm guessing that you're Gabriella Montez?" the red haired woman asked, smiling.
"Yeah." Gabriella nodded.
The red hair woman nodded. "You have alot of guest. They're all in the ballroom waiting for your arrival. Our workers are on duty serving drinks and such."
Gabriella smiled and latched onto Sharpay's hand. "Thanks." she said, walking to the ballroom that was straight across. Her eye's widened as she opened the door to see multi-colored lights spread across the large dark ballroom. Fushia colored tables with different colored flower center pieces popped out as lights underneath the table ejected them. People were hollering and dancing crazily on the dance floor, in front of the two DJ's where a large sections of turn tables rested in front of them. Others sat at their table chatting and laughing away.
"Oh my god, Gabs. This is awesome." Sharpay squealed.
"I know." Gabriella shouted over the loud music. "Love In This Club" by Usher and Young Jeezy, blared over all sound, just about. She turned around as felt a tap over her shoulders.
"Gabriella, finally, you're here. Go up on stage." Kylie Richardson, a cheerleader on the Cougar's team said, pushing Gabriella up to the stage.
A blush crept upon Gabriella's cheeks as she stood in front of the large crowd of cheers and hollers. She chuckled and grabbed the mic that layed on the turn tables. "Hi, everyone." she cheered, into the crowd, receiving even more cheers and hollers. She smiled and continued. "Thanks for coming. I hope you're enjoying this night and continue to enjoy it all night long. Refreshments will be served and my two favorite DJ's, DJ Tony and DJ Stevie will keep playing jams for us. Let's have some fun!" She sat the mic down before walking down the steps to Sharpay who was standing there, smiling. "Where's Taylor and Kelsi?" she asked.
"With Chad and Jason. They're probably making out something. Zeke's bringing me a drink. Is Troy here yet?" Sharpay asked, over the noise that rattled between the very large group of people and the music.
Gabriella shrugged. "I don't know." she said, trying to act like she didn't care. She knew that deep inside though she wanted him here. She shook her head and smiled. "Let's just have fun." she said, walking toward the dance floor.
Sharpay sighed. "Bolton, where are you?" she muttered to herself. She followed Gabriella to the dance floor soon joining in on the crazy and promiscuous dancing.
"Where's the ballroom?" Troy asked, walking up to the reception desk as he walked into the hotel.
A blonde haired girl smiled. "Are you here for the Montez party?" she asked.
Troy nodded. "Yeah." he said. A black button up shirt which he, as always, rolled up the to his elbows covered his chest. A button was left undone, teasing his tan and toned chest. Dark washed straight-legged jeans covered his legs, while black high-top Converse were the last piece. His hair was left it's normal way, yet there was something about him that night that made him look even more handsome.
"Those two doors," the receptionist said, pointing to the doors to the side, "are where you walk in. Have fun." she said, waving.
"Thanks." Troy smiled, showing off his boyish grin. He turned to the doors and sighed before opening them revealing the crazy atmosphere. He tucked his hands into his pockets and walked over to the table where he saw Chad and Zeke sitting, ignoring the drooling stares he received from the group of girls that stood in back of the dance floor. "Hey, guys." he said.
Chad smiled and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, man. Aren't you looking sharp tonight? Maybe for a special someone?" he laughed.
Troy shook his head and chuckled. "Screw you. So, how's the party?" he asked.
"Awesome. Oh my god, there's a chocolate fundeau over by the refreshment table. Holy crap, it was delicious." Zeke said, messing with the collar on his black dress up jacket. He threw a pettle from a flower that layed in the center piece at Troy. "Gabriella, looks nice to night. Go look for her and say happy birthday."
"Maybe, later." Troy said. "I'm gonna go get a drink." He stood up and stretched slightly.
Chad sighed. "I'm gonna go with you. My mouth is parched." he said, walking behind the blue-eyed guy.
Troy looked from the corner of his eye to see Gabriella laughing and dancing with Sharpay to "Clumsy" by Fergie. He couldn't help but notice how amazing she looked. "Woah." he said, turning to the side as a waiter with a plate of small cups of punch. Troy grabbed one and turned around to Chad. "Is something wrong with you?" he asked, looking at the disgruntled face on Chad.
"I gotta go pee, but I have no clue where it is. If I ask a worker or someone else, I'll look like a jackass and be the guy,
that doesn't know where the bathroom is." Chad said, crossing his legs.
Troy laughed. "There's one across the ballroom, on the other side of the reception desk."
Chad nodded. "Be right back." he said, quickly while wobbling over to the entrance doors of the ballroom.
Troy smiled and walked over back to the table where Zeke was sitting. He felt his stomach drop as he saw Sharpay and Gabriella sitting at the table laughing. He tried turning around until he heard Sharpay call his name. "Bolton!" He sighed and turned around. "Well, hello to you too, Sharpay." he said, walking closer to the table. He could see Gabriella staring at him and smiling faintly. "Happy birthday." he smiled, while running a hand through his hair.
Gabriella smiled brightly. "Thanks."
Sharpay covered a giggle and grabbed Zeke's hand. "Let's dance, baby. I like this song." she said, over "Wall to Wall" by Chris Brown. She waved to Gabriella and Troy. "See you two peeps later."
Troy sighed and sat at the chair one over from Gabriella, who sat at the table playing with the pettles on the table. "Cool party." he said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, thanks. I'm glad." Gabriella said, leaning back in her chair with her legs crossed. She smiled at him with her light brown eyes.
"You look really nice tonight." Troy smiled at her and observed her from the corner of his eyes.
Gabriella chuckled. "I don't want to hurt your ego, so, so do you."
Troy laughed. "Why thank you."
"You know, I wasn't so sure you'd come." Gabriella said, honestly.
"Why wouldn't I come?" Troy asked, confused. He slid into the seat next to her and rested his back against the chair.
She shrugged. "I don't know. Me and you have just been really weird with each other lately, so I thought that you just wouldn't come."
Troy smiled. "Gabriella, even if me and you were weird with each other, when have I ever missed a party?" he asked, chuckling.
Gabriella laughed and shrugged. "I have no clue." She stood up and took his hand into her's as "He Said, She Said." by Ashley Tisdale started. "Let's dance."
"Dance?" Troy asked.
"Come on, Troy. When have I ever practically thrown myself at you?" she asked, smirking.
Troy stood up and followed her lead. "Man, if only everyday was your birthday." he sighed as they reached the dance floor.
Gabriella noticed Sharpay eyeing her and smirking. She laughed and shook her head before turning her attention toward Troy.
"Come on, Troy. How are you tired?" Gabriella asked, Troy as he sat in his chair.
He looked at her wildly. "We have danced to like 8 songs."
She shrugged. "So? Please. This is my birthday." She smirked as he still sat there. "Remember what you said about being a good pretend fiancee? Well, play your part Bolton."
"God, I hate it when my words come and bite me in the ass." he said, standing up.
Gabriella smiled victoriously. "Thank you Troy." she cheered. Her dress jumped up with her as she jumped to press her lips against his cheek. She laughed at the blush that crawled up his cheeks and continued to drag him to the dance floor.
"Looks like you to are having fun." Sharpay whispered to Gabriella as she danced with Zeke.
"We're dancing. So what?" Gabriella said, wrapping her arms around Troy's neck as "Heaven" by DJ Sammy came on. Troy was oblivious to their talks as he laughed with Chad about something.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "So what? You two lovebirds are falling for each other and when you guys actually are happily married,
I'm gonna make fun of you the whole damn time." she said, bringing herself closer to Zeke to get his attention. She smirked at Gabriella before locking lips with Zeke.
Gabriella sighed. "Troy, let's not dance. Let's just get out of here."
Troy made a confused face. "This is your party though."
She shrugged. "They already sang happy birthday and stuff, so what's the point? Let's just go."
"Where?"
"Since when do you ask so many questions? Come on." Her black heels tapped against the dance floors wood floor as she ran to the table to grab her clutch. She waved him over and began to walk out of the dark, floresent ballroom.
Troy tapped Zeke on the shoulder. "I'm gonna go. I'll talk to you later."
"What? Where are you going?" Zeke called after him. He sighed and shrugged at Sharpay's questionable eyes.
Gabriella tossed and turned as she layed in Troy's bed. She looked over to the clock that read '2:48' p.m. She was sure the party was over. After her and Troy left the party they went straight to his house where they watched one of her favorite movies Coyote Ugly. Soon afterwards she changed into one of his large "Nike" shirts and basketball shorts and they fell alseep. She turned back around and looked at a peacefully sleeping Troy, as he snored quietly.
She smiled faintly and rubbed his soft cheek with her finger. It was weird how that night that just talked and talked like nothing and overall had a good time. She always felt butterflies ripple through her stomach whenever he smiled or touched her. She was scared as hell to admit that slowly she was falling for him. She didn't think that she'd ever say anything, unless he implied it that he was feeling something. She felt dumb in a way for her obliviousness toward him and the hate that she sometimes felt toward him. The whole marriage thing was easing up to her. The last few nights she forgot about the whole situation, really. She sighed and buried herself into his warm, toned chest and closed her eyes.
Troy opened one eye and covered a yawn. "What are you doing up?" he asked, huskily.
"I'm not up." Gabriella whispered.
"Yeah, right." Troy yawned, once again, before turning his side table's light on. "So, what were you thinking about other, than my gorgeousness?"
Gabriella rolled her eyes and sat up. "I wasn't thinking about nothing. Just looking into the dark, ya'know."
"Montez, just spit it out. What am I going to do? Kill you?" he asked.
"I was just thinking about college." she lied, shrugging. "I mean, doesn't it worry you? If I don't go to college, I'm doomed. Plus, you know me and my knowledge, I read somewhere that people who go to college live longer? Can you believe it? I could die in like a year if I don't go."
Troy smiled, as he watched her ramble, something she normally did when she was nervous or felt under pressure. He cupped her face and turned it so that her lips met his, cutting her off.
Gabriella's eye's widened, in the quickness, but soon she began to kiss him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he rested on top of her. Her hands ran across his chest as he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. She broke the kiss and watched as he pulled his large basketball shorts down her tan leg's. They fell down effortless. She pulled him by his "Basketball is Life" dog chain, he received from Chad on his birthday.
Troy pulled away from the kiss and kissed down her jawline to her neck, making Gabriella moan softly. He nibbled and sucked at the flesh and smiled as he left a mark. He brought his lips back down to her throat, before kissing down her body, upon the shirt. Once he reached the hem, he pulled it off of her, leaving her in a simple black strapless bra and matching panties. He dipped his tongue into her naval and began to toy around with her belly-button ring, making her sigh in please.
Gabriella pushed his head away and straddled his lap. She kissed him zealously while running her hands through his hair.
Still kissing her, Troy, moved his hands toward her back and unhooked it, before throwing it to the side. He moved his head down and took one of her nipples into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it.
"Troy." Gabriella moaned, gripping his head and throwing her head back. She looked down to see Troy smiling, while moving his mouth to her other breast. She sighed in pleasure and felt as Troy layed her back down onto the bed. She stared at him lustfully as he smirked at her. His brown hair was in his face while his blue orbs observed her. Her breath hitched as he slid his finger into her womanhood. An incoherent noise came from her mouth as she began to pant and move her hips in rythm with his finger.
Troy kissed Gabriella while continuing to pleasure her with his finger's.
"Oh god." Gabriella moaned, arching her back as she felt a feeling of sensations run through her body. She ran a hand through her slightly damp hair and let out a breath. She then kissed him passionately, while playing with his belt buckle.
Troy broke off from the kiss and watched her hands as she threw his black buckle to the side. He looked into his lustful brown eyes and kissed her softly on her neck. "What are you doing?" he asked.
She looked up at him, pleadingly. "Troy, don't ask question's right now, please." She grabbed his face and kissed him, once again, moaning as he slid his tongue into her mouth.
While still kissing her, Troy ran his hand over the front of her panties only to feel that she was wet.
Gabriella arched her body as he kissed his way down. She had no clue what either she or he was doing, but she soon pushed the questionable thoughts away and enjoyed the moment. "Troy." she breathed, as he kissed past the front of her panties. She silently thanked that nobody was in the home other than them.
Troy crawled back on top of her and kissed the space, between her breast. "Gabi." he sighed, using the nickname he used to call her when they were actually together.
Gabriella felt herself begin to grow hot as she knew what he was about to ask.
"Gabi," he repeated while running a hand through her now wavy hair, "how far do you actually want this to go?" he asked.
Gabriella stared into his piercing blue orbs as thoughts were thrown at her. She'd never really thought of having sex with him, but she always knew it was a possibility. She'd known him since she was 12 years-old. They'd both shared good and bad times with each other. They were getting married, so she was sure they'd do it sometime, but she wasn't sure when she wanted it. She nodded, slightly while sighing. "Just, do it Troy." she said, softly.
Troy stared at her for a moment until he sighed. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"Troy, please, just do it before I change my mind and regret it."
He nodded, hesitantly and moved his hands down to the edge of her panties. He pulled them down her tan legs slowly, while inspecting her face. He dropped her black panties to the side of the bed and climbed back on top of her, while kicking his boxers off his long, athletic legs. He moved his hands to his side tables drawer and pulled a condom out, before slipping it on. He pursed his lips together and positioned himself on top of her. "Promise, me your sure." he said, eyeing her.
Tears stung from the lids of her eyes as she nodded. "I promise." she whispered.
Troy nodded, once again and slowly guided himself into her, causing her to bite her lip when the mixture of pain and pleasure went through her. "Are you ok?" he asked.
She nodded and wiped a tear that flew down her cheek away. "Yeah, keep going." she said.
He slowly, began to slid himself in and out of her, trying to make the pain for her go away. He sighed as a soft moan came from her mouth, showing that the pain had gone away. He held himself up with his forearms as he started to thrust in and out of her slightly faster.
Gabriella gripped his shoulder and wrapped her legs around his waist as he thrusted into her, in a normal pace. She moaned and began to pant heavily as only pleasure ran through her. She kissed him softly, but soon broke it off as another moan erupted. "Oh god." she cried, running her nails across his back.
Troy groaned and rested his head in the crock of her neck, while still thrusting into her. He could feel his sensations building quickly. He looked back up at Gabriella's flustered face. "Gabi, are you almost there?" he asked, still guiding in and out of her.
She nodded and moaned loudly as her orgasm rushed through her. "Troy." she cried, arching her back. Her body fell limp and exhausted as she panted, trying to catch her breath.
Troy soon came and rolled off her body, also panting. Beads of sweat rolled down the two's body as they layed there in a silence with the after glow of sex. Pants were the only things that were heard other than the air conditioner that ran slowly through the house.
Gabriella turned to him and kissed his chest before slipping her arm around his waist and closing her eye's, still trying to comprehend what just happened.
Troy hugged her closer to his body and stretched his arm out to turn the side lamp off. Pulling the covers up closer to the two's body covering the soon asleep bodies.
Gabriella moaned into her pillow as the Spring Albuquerque sun shined through the window's. She sighed and opened one eye to come face to face with an empty spot upon the bed. She lifted herself up, resting on her elbows and listened as she heard to shower running. 'Troy' she thought. She looked around the room to see clothes scattered everywhere and 9:56 brightly shown from the clock on his dresser.
Groaning softly, she threw the cover's off her body and stood up from the bed. She gathered her dress and such she changed out of last night and slipped them back on her slightly sore body. While slipping her black pumps on her feet she hopped toward the door, grabbing her purse.
Her eye's darted to the corner of the room as a bouquet of red roses rested against the bottom of his trophy case. She clutched onto her purse and grabbed them. A small smile cracked upon her lips the card tied to the roses:
Dear Gabriella,
I hope that you have an awesome 18th birthday. In all honesty, you deserve all the love you get. I know you feel special that your reciving this from me, also. Anyways, though, you truly are one of the wackiest chicks and that's what I love about you. Happy birthday and enjoy it 'cause your only 18 once.
Love, Troy
She chuckled softly and held the bouquet close as she walked out of the room with mixed emotions. She couldn't believe that she had sex with him, even more so losing her virginity to him. Deep down she knew that she had special feelings for him. If only she knew when she'd react upon them or if she'd ever.
A/N: Hello, buenos dias, bonjour. You get the point right? Haha, thank you all so much for the reviews. You guy's are more awesome than like a Hershey's Kiss seriously. As always, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I told you all that events would be happening. I don't know, when I'll be updating. School's almost over which means the teachers have to be loser's and set you up with all these projects 'cause they're trying to "get you prepared for next year", haha. Enough of moi's rambling though. Please review! (:
& also this is to heyhiyahowyadoin: If you haven't realized by now Troy and Gabriella's relationship is meant to be complicated. That includes Gabriella supposedly not knowing what to do or "acting stupid." Troy on the other hand is also meant to be cocky. If you actually pay attention to the story, you can realize that. If you don't like it, all I can say is to not read the story, sorry.
