Chapter 27 - Strawberry Yogurt.
Bang...Boom...Pass!...Whoosh...No!
Bounce, Bounce...Come On!...To me!...Bang...Whoosh
Yawn...Groan...
Saturday morning.
Basketball awakening.
The usual.
Gabriella stretched out her arms, and as they hit the headboard, she groans. Pulling her covers tighter to her body, and burrying her head in to various pillows and sheets, she tried to get back to sleep. She shut her eyes tightly, but that didn't close her ears.
Bounce, Bounce, Bounce...Whoosh...Yes!!
She flipped over in her bed to face the direction away from the window. Pulling the pillow over her ears, she tried to shut out the irritating basketball-made noise.
Grab...Grab... Boom...
Nope. No luck. She shot up in bed, her eyes again adjusting to the light, and she threw her covers off quickly, feeling the cold air hit her body.
She jumped up from her bed, jumping around trying to find her cozy slippers bound to be somewhere around her bed. Her eyes flicked in all directions as her arms rubbed up and down her body trying to gain heat. Once finding her slippers, she ran over to them and slipped them on, feeling a little heat coming from them flow up her body. She turned around to look in her mirror, and finding she was presentable enough to walk through the house, she turned the lock on her door and exited her room.
Her fluffy feet tip-toed down the stairs, as it was still quite early, for her family anyway. Chad had always been the early riser, and Gabriella hated him for it. He had always been the one able to open Christmas presents first, or catch the bus on time, or anything really. She knew he was the lucky member of the Danforth - Montez's, in one way or another.
She jumped at the bottom step and as she entered the kitchen she felt a heat come over her, that made her smile and relax. Dragging her arms away from her now warm body, she walked her way across the room, to the window, where outside the basketballs could still be heard.
Opening the blinds a little she saw Chad and Troy both running around, looking energised, and pumped up with the game. She watched them as they ran around throwing shots, and occasionally scoring. She watched as her brother and boyfriend got very excited at the tiny movements of a rubber ball, and this made her laugh.
----------
Outside the window however Troy was catching his breath, he shot the ball across to Chad, but signalled 'time out'. He walked across and collapsed on the grass. Moments later, another bang could be felt from beside him and he looked beside him to see his rather sweaty friend.
"Good game"
Chad nodded, "Yup, good game"
Troy looked around, feeling someone's eyes on him. His eyes caught hers in seconds, and a smirk cam across his lips and she winked in his direction, flirtatously closing the gap in the blinds and walking away from the window. He laughed silently, and he grabbed his bottle, emptying it, and watching his friends confused reaction.
"Thristy much?" Chad chuckled.
Troy smiled, "Just a little, I'm gonna fill up my bottle again, be back in five"
Chad nodded, and thrust his own bottle in Troy's direction, "Fill mine up too please"
"Sure", and Troy walked away, nearing the house.
----------
Gabriella giggled as she caught Troy's eye. She winked at him, then closed the blinds, moving over to the fridge. She opened the door, her eyes searching around as her stomach rumbled. Her hand went to the back of the fridge, grabbing what she was looking for, and taking it out the fridge. Then she felt two strong arms wrap around her.
"Strawberry yogurt, good choice!"
She giggled, and nodded into his chest, "I thought so too"
She moved herself from his grasp and walked over to the counter, where she removed the top wrapper and grabbed a spoon. Jumping on top of the counter, she took the yogurt, and stirred it with the spoon.
Troy took his chance and moved himself in between her legs, using his hands to gently caress them. Gabriella shivered under his gentle touch and she closed her eyes slightly in pleasure.
Collecting yogurt on the spoon she spooned it into her mouth, and smiled as the thick liquid trailed down her throat. Troy smirked as he saw this, adn he tried to grab the pot and spoon.
"Nu-uh, your not getting any" Gabriella said in a sing-song voice, and she nodded her head playfully.
Troy pouted, "But I really want some"
Gabriella ruffled his hair, "Well, sorry - it's my breakfast"
Troy sighed, defeated, "I'd die for some strawberry yogurt just now" He mumbled. He crossed his arms over his face, and put on that addorable pout her knew could kill. His eyes turned lighter than before, which meant he meant business. His eyes only did this when he intended on getting what he wanted.
But Gabriella wasn't going to give in easily. No, she could work her eyes too. The chocolate turned dark and lust filled her eyes. She smirked as she saw his eyes retaliate and his shoulders sunk, leaving his arms to droop. "No yogurt for you today, but I'm sure you'll get over it" She smileda again, as she spooned more into her mouth, Troy's eyes watching her doing so.
Gabriella finished the pot and put it far away down the table. She laughed as he ran after it but sighed as he saw it empty. Returning back to his original place between her legs, he said, "But that's just it, Brie, I won't get over it"
Gabriella rolled her eyes dramatically.
"So, I'll just have to find another way" Troy whispered.
He reached up and pulled her head forward, lunging his tongue into her mouth. He felt her hands run through his hair, and he smiled against the kiss as she did so. Wrapping his arms around her petite body, he brought her forward, her body resting gently on his, and the edge of the counter-top. They explored each other's mouths, loving the way they could make each other feel. Until -
"What's taking you so---"
Chad stopped dead.
His mouth hung down, nearly touching the floor.
No words came out.
The couple froze.
Their eyes shot open.
Slowly they untangled themselves from each other, wiping away the furious kissing from their lips, and they dared to look at Chad's reaction.
He stood there, not moving. His heart beat fast, his legs shaking. How long had this been going on for? Did anyone else know? Did they not tell him for a reason. All this went whizzing round his head...
"Oh. My. God" came out of Chad's mouth.
Both Troy and Gabriella winced at the words. They knew that Chad would have found out at some point, but never did they imagine now. It felt like their whole world was crashing down on top of them. They had clearly never realised that ever since Sharpay had started to know, the porcess of getting found out had begun.
Silence covered the room, and each of the teenagers comtemplated what to do. They had each had a shock, but for different resons. Gabriella shuffled nearer to Troy, but he moved backwards. She spun round to look at him qith puzzled eyes. But his eyes said apologises. She shut her eyes, but nodded.
"I have...to...go, but I'll...I'll see you guys, eh...later?" Troy stuttered.
He waved to Chad, kissed Gabriella's cheek, and walked qiuckly to the door. Gabriella sighed as she heard the door close and her boyfriends quick footsteps go down the path. She saw through the reflection in the opposite window, that he had looked back, started to walk back, then stopped. He'd clearly not wanted to leave. He would have been there for her, in any other situation.
So she didn't blame him for leaving.
Because this, wasn't going to be pretty.
Earlier than expected :)
Sorry for the wait. I wanted this to be really perfect, but I think I got the atmosphere of the story quite good this chapter. I really hope you liked it :)
This chapter had been planned to be longer, but I knew lots of you were really wanting to find out what happened, so I cut the chapter in half (even though I've not written the next bit yet!) and gave you this.
I told you that i'd write more of 'The Other Side Of The Rainbow', and I have...but I really don't know if it's gonna work. But, I'm gonna keep going, see how it turns out, and I really dont like unfinishing stuff, so after 'Falling...', I'll finish the other story :)
Em, I've only got about 5 more chapters of this story left...sorry! When it's really finished, I'll be sad, coz I've loved writing this, and hearing what you think. However, I have lots of ideas for one-shots and chapter stories, so I might have a bit of a break, but I'll definitely keep writing!
If you haven't already, please read the Valentine's Day One-shot I promised.
Please tell me what you think of this chapter, R&R...
Have a great weekend :)
