Troy's eyes blinked open as the sun shined through his two french doors. A sigh was let out from his mouth as he shifted in his bed. He turned around as whimpering was heard, only to see a peacefully sleeping Gabriella; her hair was spread out on the pillow, while her skin had the morning glow of a good night's sleep. He gripped his bed's comforter and snuggled into it, as his eye's became droopy.
He opened his eye's quickly, again as the bed moved due to Gabriella's shifting. From an angle, he could see her eye's fluttering, opening them slowly.
Gabriella winced, opening her eye's and feeling a headache come on. "Ow." she muttered, hoarsely. She turned, seeing Troy staring at the ceiling. She sighed and brought the cover's back to her face, quickly remembering the night before. She could feel herself blushing madly, while imagining a smirk upon Troy's face.
Troy slid the blanket down her face with a faint smile on his face. "Morning to you too." he said, brushing her dark brown curls out of her face.
"Hi." Gabriella said, softly staring up into his blue eyes.
"No hangover, I'm guessing?" Troy asked, slipping out of the bed. He grabbed a plain white t-shirt off his floor, before slipping it over his hard rock abs.
Gabriella sat up in the bed and shrugged. "Just a small headache."
Troy pursed his lip's together and nodded. "Hmm." He walked to his bathroom where he began brushing his teeth.
"Ugh." Gabriella breathed. She sighed and pulled the covers off of her and stood up from the bed. She grabbed all of her clothing from the previous night off the floor and pushed it all into her purse, silently jumping with glee that Troy wasn't saying anything about last night.
Troy walked out of the bathroom, still brushing his teeth. "So, who's coming to pick you up or am I taking you home?" he asked, through his brushing.
"I don't know." Gabriella shrugged.
"I'll take that as a me taking you home." he said, walking back into the bathroom.
Gabriella followed him. "Do you have a toothbrush, I can use?"
Troy spit out his toothpaste and took a sip of his mouthwash. He grabbed a toothbrush from the toothbrush holder and threw one at her, before spitting out the mouthwash and wiping his face with a towel. He walked brushed past her, to his closet, silently.
Gabriella let out a breath, knowing he was reacting to what she told him last night. She turned the sink on and began to brush her teeth. She really had no clue what she told him last night, other than she loved him. It was all a blur through her anger, sadness and partial drunkenness. Spitting out the toothpaste and wiping her face, she walked out of the bathroom to see Troy, throwing his key's up and down, dressed in jeans, his white t-shirt and white slip-on Vans.
He turned to her and nodded her over. "Let's go." he said, turning his back to her and opening the door.
Gabriella grabbed her purse and slipped on her black flats from last night, following him out the door to his car. The car ride to her house was silent other than the radio that was turned up just a bit. Gabriella could feel the uneasy tension through out the ride, as Troy's eye's wouldn't leave the road and his body was stiff. She sighed as he stopped in front of her large house. She stared out the front window and scoffed. "You're freaked out about what I said, huh?"
"What?" Troy asked, dumbfounded.
"I said, you're freaked out about what I said last night, aren't you?" she asked, turning to him.
Troy rolled his eye's and put the car in park. "If I was so scared then trust me, I wouldn't have brought you home or even wanted to talk, hell, even look at you."
"Then why are you acting like you have a fork shoved up your ass?" She paused and stared at him as he stayed silent. "Or is it because I got drunk last night and supposedly made a fool out of me and even you. Wait, or is it because of the whole love triangle, between me, you and Alexa." she laughed sarcastically, making him grip the steering wheel. She rolled her eyes as she saw his actions. "Kiss my ass, Troy. You know what you can go do? Go shove Alexa up your ass and leave me alone for good. Forget what I told you last night. I was drunk." she said, moving her hands to the door. She gasped as she felt him grap her arm and pull her back toward him. She sat there, shocked, as he crashed his lips against hers.
Troy rested his hands in her hair, kissing her passionately. He pulled apart from her quickly as she began to kiss back. Both of their chest heaved up and down as they stared at each other lustfully. Troy brought his hand to her cheek and bit his lip. "I've said this before, but you really were drunk. I love you too." he whispered.
Gabriella stared at him and nodded gently, butterflies running through her. She turned to the door and walked out quickly, grabbing her purse. Shutting the door, she heard the screeches from his tires as he drove away. She brought a hand to her swollen lips and let out a sigh. She walked toward the front door and grabbed her key's. She opened the door and threw her purse onto the floor with her key's as soon as she walked into the open spaced home. She walked to the kitchen to see Marie wiping the counter tops. "Hey, Marie."
Marie looked up and smiled. "Hello, Gabriella. Guessing you're not going to school today?" she asked, continuing to wipe the counters.
"Yeah, just wanted to come home and snuggle into my own bed, ya'know?"
"Well, it's always good to be in your own bed." she said, smiling. Her smile turned as she saw the sadness in the brunette's eye's. "Is something wrong?"
Gabriella shrugged. "Marie, have you ever been in love?" she asked.
Marie smiled brightly and leaned over the counter tops with a pensive look upon her face. "Depends. What love are we talking about?" she asked.
"There's different kinds of love?" Gabriella asked, smiling faintly.
"Oh, yeah. There's the love that everyone get's mixed up with lust, there's the love where you care for them deeply, but also mistake that with just caring for and of course there's that one love, where whenever the person walks in the room you feel your stomach feel up with butterflies or when the person smiles you feel your whole world become complete. I can go on and on about that love."
Gabriella looked into space and shook her head. "I don't know. I would have to describe mines with more of a bittersweet love, I guess. Like whenever he walks into the room, I feel this energy rush through me, but I don't know what it is. When he talks with his deep and smooth voice, I just feel my heart flutter. When he smiles, I melt and it forces me to smile. But then, he can be such an ass sometimes and I just want to never talk to him again, yet I always find myself right back into his arms. He told me that he loves me today and I just felt butterflies run through me. My mind went numb and it was amazing, but still very bittersweet."
Marie smiled and nodded. "Sweetie, it's not bittersweet love, it's just that true love. Love isn't always going to be perfect,
but then again it's not always going to be bitter. You and Troy, obliviously love each other. Neither of you can deny it. You two are just very opinionated and want what you want. The perfect match. Instead of talking to me, you should be in Troy's arms right now."
"How'd you know I was talking about Troy?" Gabriella asked.
"Common sense, hun."
Gabriella nodded and smiled brightly. "Thanks, Marie." she said, jogging out of the kitchen.
"Anytime, anytime." Marie said, chuckling.
"What the hell? That was a perfect shot!" Chad yelled across the basketball court.
Troy glared at him and threw him the ball. "I have no consent ration, because I have Foxy Brown wannabe in my ear the whole time!" he yelled back.
"Whatever, man. You were upset about something when you got here so don't go name-calling Bolton, on me okay?" Chad said, resting the ball in the ring of his arm. He followed Troy as the blue eyed boy went the the sideline of the parks court and sat on the bleachers. He sat beside Troy and pursed his lips together. "You wanna tell your bestest friend in the whole wide world what's really going on?"
"Both Gabriella and I told each other that we love each other, yet it turned out to be complete crap. Now, neither of us are really talking to each other."
Chad gasped and hit his friend on the back. "What the hell are you still doing here then? Why aren't you two making out or something?"
Troy stared at his friend confused. "Was I talking to a fucking wall? Neither or us are really talking to each other and it was awkward as hell."
"Yeah, so? Instead of moping around go get your girl." Chad said, grabbing Troy's bag from the bleacher on top of them. He threw it in Troy's arms and pushed him. "Go!" he urged.
"Huh?"
Chad pushed Troy once again. "Go find Gabriella and claim her yours!"
Troy stared at his friend disgruntled and nodded, before slowly getting up. "Yeah, sure."
"Go!" Chad yelled, sternly.
"Shit, I'm going!" Troy yelled, walking toward his car.
"Why are we here at his house?" Sharpay asked, she parked her car in front of Troy's house.
Gabriella opened the car door and grabbed her purse. "I have to tell Troy something, really important. Don't leave until you see me walk into the house." she said, stepping out of the car.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Sharpay said, quickly. "Unbutton your shirt a little bit, it'll make him crave you."
"Shar, I'm here to tell him something, not have sex with him."
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "That's what you think."
"Don't leave until I'm gone, Sharpay." Gabriella said, annoyed. She shut the car door and walked toward the front door. She knocked softly and waited anxiously. She smiled softly as Linda, the homes housekeeper answered the door. "Hey Linda, is Troy here?" she asked.
Linda shook her head. "He maybe just left like ten minutes ago."
Gabriella nodded and sighed. "Do you know where he went?"
"Uh, he said something about going to somebody's house, but the name went blank in my head. Sorry, sweetie."
"No, it's okay, Linda. Thanks though."
Linda smiled and nodded. "No problem."
Gabriella waved before turning her back and jogging back to Sharpay's awaiting car as it began to sprinkle. "Not here."
"Where to now?" Sharpay asked, turning the engine on and beginning to drive away.
"My house. I'll have to tell him tomorrow." Gabriella said, brushing off the sprinkle of rain that landed on her cheek.
Sharpay nodded. "What'd you have to tell him?"
Gabriella shrugged and rested her elbow on the car's window. "Just that I saw his tux and it's nice." she lied, not wanting to hear a Sharpay rant.
"Oh my god, really? That's so cool. Please, tell me the tuxedo's black. I just hate white tuxedo's, ugh."
"It's jet black, no worries."
Sharpay placed a hand on her heart and let out a sigh, while the light turned red. "Thank the lord."
Gabriella smiled weakly and nodded as Sharpay turned onto her street. She grabbed her purse as the car stopped in front of her house.
"Tomorrow we're using your car. Gas is fucking way to pricey these days. You didn't even have to go to school today." Sharpay said, sighing.
Gabriella chuckled and nodded. "Gotcha." She opened the car door, groaning as the pouring rain was falling hard onto the quiet street. "Least you get to be covered." she muttered, pulling her light red hoodie up over her head.
Sharpay smiled. "Bye!" she cheered, driving away as Gabriella walked up the steps of her porch.
Gabriella held up a hand and searched for her key's in her purse. "Where the hell are they?" she muttered, bending down and searching through her purse frantically. She looked up, sighing in relief as Marie began to walk out with a umbrella in hand.
"Hello, Ms. Montez. Guessing I'm your guardian angel since I opened the door?"
"Yes!" Gabriella said, pulling her hood down. She turned around for a moment to see the dark, cloudy sky. She waved as Marie began to walk down the porches steps to her car. "Bye, Marie. See you tomorrow."
Marie waved and smiled brightly, sliding into her car.
Gabriella walked into the warm wood floor covered home. "Shit." she cursed, remembering the purse she left out on the porch. She opened the door and grabbed her purse quickly. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry I almost forgot you. You're my favorite Coach, baby." she said, holding it close. Her eyes widened in horror as she heard the front door shut. "No, no, no, no!"
She began to hitting the door, stomping her foot as she remembered she couldn't find her keys and her parents were gone for the night, thanks to a large dinner being held for Sonia's designing label.
Pursing her lips together and pulling her hood back over her head she jogged to the side of the house. "Here goes nothing." she said, looking at the cement in front of her, that divided the front and back yards. She jogged toward the fence and hopped on top of it quickly, wanting to get out of the pouring rain. A yelp escaped her lips as she slid off the fence and onto the wet, grassy area. She sighed and quickly sat up, jogging to the back arcadia door, the only door she knew Marie left unlocked. She screamed as she felt a hand grip her arm. She felt the person cover her mouth with their hand.
"It'd be nice if you shut up and got us out of the rain, ok?" Troy whispered, into her ear.
Gabriella felt her body ease down in relief. She twisted out of his grip and looked at him through the rain. "What the hell are you doing here? Outside in the pouring rain like this? It's also like eight o'clock at night." She looked him up and down,
seeing his jeans and plain black t-shirt sticking to him. His hair was sticking to his face slightly covering his eyes.
Troy moved his hair out of his face. "I needed to talk to you." he said, loud enough to hear over the rain.
"About what?" Gabriella said, turning toward the arcadia door. Her leg's shivered as only short jean shorts covered the tan figures. Her fingers slid across the arcadia door, to learn it was too slippery. She sighed and turned back around to Troy,
who was slightly shivering. "About what?"
"Us." Troy muttered, looking into her dark brown eye's.
Gabriella stared at him, feeling the blood rush up to her cheeks. She quickly turned back around, nervous and began to try to pull the arcadia door, cursing the rain silently.
"You know, I heard what you said, last night. I mean, I don't know if it was because you were drunk, but I know that what we also said to each other today, isn't gonna solve anything. That's what I mean by us. Now it's my turn."
Gabriella stopped trying to pull for the door and stood there numb as his soothing, deep voice began.
"You're an amazing girl, Gabriella and sometimes I wish that you would know that. You're sweet, unbelievably beautiful, fun and you care more about others than yourself. Then again though, you could be such a bitch sometimes, but I like a girl, who's a challenge. I know, I've hurt you alot in the past and I don't know why, but I promise if you gave me a chance to love you and just be there for you, I promise it wouldn't happen ever again. Well, at least not on purpose or anything."
Gabriella bit her lip to hold back a chuckle, feeling her stomach doing flip-flops all around as he continued to speak.
"For example, I see Zeke and Sharpay and as always, they're making out and as gross and disturbing it can be sometimes, I can't see myself like that with anyone else, but you. The only reason, I ever slept with those other girl's is because I was overall, just being a jackass. I can admit it. About the whole Alexa thing, Gabriella you know that I don't like her like that. I never have and never will. I'm still scared as hell, to even think about getting married. I didn't see myself doing that for atleast another good ten years, but being with you and having you there by my side, would make it all easier."
Feeling the tears well up in her eyes, Gabriella turned around to see his pleading and soft eyes. She took small steps toward his, she felt a shiver run up her spine as she stepped into the rain, standing in front of him. "How do I know that this isn't just some bullshit?" she croaked out.
Troy gave a soft smile and shrugged. "Do you honestly think, I'd waste my time pleading my love for you out in the cold and pouring rain if this was bullshit?"
"I don't know." Gabriella said, smiling gently. She took a step closer to him, so that their soaken wet bodies were almost pressed against one another's.
"Well, it's not bullshit, Montez. Trust me." Troy whispered, against her lips. He tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear,
still shivering slightly.
Gabriella slid her arms around his neck and brought his lips down to hers, capturing the two lips in a heated kiss.
Troy gripped her hips with his hands and began to back her up, out of the cold, pouring rain and to the back wall of the house. He brushed Gabriella's hands out of his hair and brought her hands to his face, cupping it. He ran his tongue across her bottom lip for warning, before sliding his tongue into her mouth, to meet hers.
Gabriella began to slid her body toward the arcadia door, never leaving Troy's grip upon her. She smiled victoriously into the kiss as she opened the door successfully. Stepping into the warm house.
Troy closed the door behind the two and moved his hands to the bottom of Gabriella's button up blouse. Staring into her chocolate eyes, while panting and unbuttoning her white blouse he kissed her softly once again. "Where's your parents?" he asked, slipping her blouse off, leaving her in a white lace push-up bra.
"Away for the night." Gabriella answered, sighing in pleasure as he began to suck on her neck, making his mark. She took this time to pull off his shirt, but with some difficulties as it stuck to him due to the rain the two were just standing in. She threw his shirt to the side, on top of her blouse and pulled him back up for a kiss. A whimper escaped her lips as he grabbed her legs and wrapped them around his waist. She kissed him passionately while he stumbled them up the stairs.
Troy pushed her back against the stair's wall, breathing hard while her hands moved to his belt buckle. He began to stumble back up the stairs as she threw his belt down the stairs. He kicked her door open and moved her to the bed, making her yelp as he threw her on top of the lavender bed spread.
They both wanted each other. Badly. They had both waited this long to have each other and they didn't want any longer.
Gabriella rested on her knees and moved her hands to the front of her bra, unhooking it, swiftly. She threw it onto the floor and moved over to him, kissing him once again. "Pants off." she whispered, into his ear, making him itch with anticipation. She nibbled on his ear and moved her hand toward the growing bulge in his pants, making him groan.
"Shit." Troy hissed, pushing her down onto her back. Knowingly, he unbuttoned her shorts and pulled them down her tan legs, showing off her matching white lace boy bottoms. He licked his lips and moved to hover over her.
Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck, loosely and brought him down for a zealous kiss. She tipped her head back as he began to nip at her neck's soft flesh. She lifted her legs to her waist and slowly brought down his jeans, wanting him badly. "Troy, come on." she said, arching her back and pushing him up.
Troy moved his lips to the skin below her ear. "What's the rush?"
"Just come on."
"I always knew there was a reason, I loved you." Troy said, turning his back to grab a condom from his wallet, unable to see the smile form across Gabriella's lips. Troy turned back around with a foil in hand.
Gabriella chuckled softly, knowing that as long as she'd known him, he always had a condom in reach. She slipped her hands down to the waistline of his boxers and slipped them off slowly.
Troy watched as her manicured hands moved back up from his midwaist. He slid the boxers off his legs and moved his hands toward the top of her panties. He slid them down off of her, before slipping the condom on. "You sure?" he asked.
"Yeah." Gabriella said, nodding. She winced slightly as Troy began to slid into her, gently. She knew it was because it'd been a few days since she her first time and her body was adapting. She gave Troy a reassuring nod. "Go." she whispered.
Troy held himself up with his forearms and began to move in and out of her slowly. He started going a bit faster due to the soft moan that escaped Gabriella's lips and realizing that the bittersweet pleasure and pain was gone.
Gabriella moaned and gripped his shoulders as she felt nothing, but pleasure. "Oh god." she cried, arching her back and beginning to move her hips in rhythm with his. She was finding this time much pleasurable than the first, knowing it was probably cause last time was her first.
Pants began to come from Troy and his eye's darkened to a dark blue as lust was the only thing that filled them. "I love you." he breathed.
"I love you too." Gabriella croaked out from her moans. She felt him hitting her spot, while wrapping her legs around his waist, making her feel nothing but unbelievable pleasure. "Faster, Troy." she panted, dragging her nails across his back.
Sweat and the smell of sex began to fill up the room. Troy rested his head in the crook of her neck and began to nibbling on it while groaning and pumping in and out of her quickly.
Gabriella let out a loud moan as she felt her peak reaching. "Troy..I'm.." she stuttered, through the pleasure.
Troy moved his face in front of hers and captured her lips into his, knowing what she was going to say. He thrust into her a couple more times, before feeling the two, both release. He let out a breath and rolled off of her, panting heavily.
Gabriella stared up at the ceiling, feeling contentment take over her. She turned and pressed her lips on his shoulder blade
while moving to straddle him, making Troy chuckle and his eyes twinkle with excitement.
Alexa smirked as she answered her homes front door. "Caleb. What a pleasure. Come in." she said, letting the green eyed boy walk into the large house. She grabbed his wet jacket as he took it off and set it on the jacket holder. She lead him into the kitchen and smiled, while sliding the hot chocolate toward him. "So, Hinderson, how are you?"
"Good. I just got accepted into Flordia State with a football scholarship." he smiled.
"That's awesome." Alexa said, sitting next to him on the barstools. "How's love life going?"
Caleb shrugged and took a sip of the hot chocolate in front of him. "Okay, I guess. No one really special at the moment."
Alexa pursed her lips together and nodded. "How about Gabriella Montez? I hear, you have a big crush on her. Can you believe that her and Troy Bolton are officially going out, again."
"Yeah." Caleb scoffed, shaking his head. "It's unbelievable. He doesn't deserve her."
"Why?"
Caleb shook his head. "I don't know. He's just such a bastard and Gabriella is too sweet of a girl, to be messed with again.
She doesn't need him."
"And he doesn't need her." Alexa said. "She's also broken Troy's heart many times. She's practically a witch in the making. Just hear me out, Hinder. I care alot about Troy. Like you, I don't wanna see him get hurt by her. Therefore, because I'm a caring person, I want to save Troy and Gabriella from themselves. I may have to intervene and break hearts, but it's all leading to something good, right?"
"What are you saying?" Caleb asked, confused.
Alexa shrugged and leaned back in her barstool. "I'm saying, I want Troy. I will do anything in my power to get him. You obviously want Gabriella also, so I say me and you, become a team. Let's just say our mission is to make Troy and Gabriella realize a few things, even if that is not being with each other." she paused and leaned into him, holding her hand out. "I want to know now though, are you in or are you out?"
Caleb looked at the girl for a moment before sighing and nodding hesitantly. "I'm in." he said, grasping her hand.
A small grin curled from Alexa's lips as she sighed in content and felt a rush of excitement run through her.
Sobs escaped Sharpay as she laid in her bed, gripping the pillow.
Her world had just been turned upside down. She was scared, worried and lonely in her bright pink colored room, which now seemed a dark, hazy color through the blonde's tears and mascara that was flowing down her face.
Her whole body shook as she cried harder than she ever had. She needed somebody, badly. Shaking, she reached for her cordless phone on her nightstand. She dialed the number that she knew all too well.
"Oh god, Troy." Gabriella moaned, tilting her head back as she rode her newfound declared love.
Troy grunted as gripped the brunette's hips, feeling the one feeling he'd never got sick of. "Fuck, Gabi."
Gabriella bit her lip to stifle a scream, feeling butterflies of pleasure run through her. She rested her hands on Troy's stomach and let out a cry of ecstasy as she felt her self release onto him. Breathing heavily, a grin appeared on her face as she rested next to him.
"You know, I think this marriage or whatever, could really work out if you give performances like these." Troy said, wrapping his arm around her waist and cuddling into her.
Gabriella giggled and turned to face him. "I could say the same about you, Bolton."
Troy lifted the blankets to cover the two. "For a newbie, you're really good." he said, arching a brow.
"I learned from the best." she smiled, feeling her breathing begin to balance.
Troy laughed. "You bet your ass did." he said, kissing her hard on the lips. The kiss soon began to grow passionate as she laid on top of him and tongue's dancing. He groaned as she broke the kiss, as the phone rang loudly. "We're having fun." he whispered, trying to kiss her.
Gabriella shook her head and rolled off of him and to her nightstand. "It could be important." She grabbed the phone, ignoring his eye rolling and clicked 'Talk'. "Hello?"
"Gabi, please, I didn't know who else to call. I need you, right now." Sharpay cried over the phone.
"What wrong?" Gabriella said, panic evident in her voice.
Sharpay sniffled. "Just come, please."
Gabriella nodded quickly. "I'm on my way." She hung up the phone and walked quickly to her dresser.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked.
"It's Sharpay. She's crying and ugh, I don't know." Gabriella said, slipping her bra and panties back on. She grabbed a pair of short pyjama shorts and one of Troy's large shirts from her drawer. "You coming or are you gonna lay there, waiting for my parents to get home?" she asked, chuckling and pulling her hoodie back on.
Troy stuck his tongue out and laughed sarcastically, sliding out of the bed and watching her slip her Uggs on.
