Troy woke up the next morning by the sunshine beaming on his face. He groaned as he woke up and sat in the bed, but soon smiled remembering last night and still couldn't believe. Gabriella-Gabriella Montez, his dream girl- was now his girlfriend. He signed happily, but then looked around for her in his room and saw she wasn't here. Last night they were cuddled up on his bed, felling asleep in each other arms.
He got out of bed, and looked around the penthouse until he spotted her in the living room, looking out the window, still dressed in her pajamas. He noticed her long wavy hair was now straightened. It was a very good look on her.
Before he could say a word, she turned to him with her warm smile and said "Morning, sleepy-head," She walked toward him and gave him a hug and a tiny kiss on the cheek.
"Morning to you, too, beautiful," He said, and ran his fingers through her hair. "Love the new look by the way."
"Thanks, I decided to try something new with my hair. I had to do something while you slept," She said and then grabbed his hand. "Come on, you've got to see this." She led him to the window and pointed outside.
Troy looked out and was amazed. It was snowing outside. Glittering snow covered the streets, toppled the buildings, making it look like a winter wonder land. This was the beginning of winter.
"Whoa…" He said.
"Yeah," Gabriella said, looking out the window "I just love winter. It's one of my favorite seasons. Everything just looks so beautiful in the snow."
Troy nodded and agreed. The're now in the month of December and winter is here, and he knew that lots of stuff was coming up. Such as the holidays, vacation break, and Gabriella's 18th birthday which is on the 14th. He couldn't wait.
"So would it be this cold back in LA?" She asked him.
Troy shrugged. "A little, but not too cold," He signed, but looked at Gabriella "Maybe I could take you there sometime."
Gabriella threw her arms around him as she giggled. "Now wouldn't our parents love that? But your birthday next month, so maybe we could then."
Troy wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair, loving that idea. "I suppose that would be great, but it would be better if it was just you and me." He said
Gabriella giggled again. She signed again and traced his lips with her fingers. She looked up at him and smiled. "I would love that, cutie, but I don't think my dad or older siblings would approve."
Troy grinned cockily at her. "Well you dad and siblings aren't here. Neither is my family. We're all alone and you're my prisoner." He lung his lips to hers and kissed her. Her response was wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him back, beaming.
He made-out with her against the wall. Gabriella really knew how to kiss. He laid her on the couch and got on top of her, making-out, their tongues doing a dance. But Gabriella pulled back, feeling light-headed from the kiss, needing to catch her breath.
She gently pushed Troy off her and went into the kitchen to get something to drink. Troy followed her. She grabbed a glass of water and sat on the counter. Troy stood in front of her, watching her, thinking how she looks beautiful doing anything, even the simplest things. He looked at her lovingly while stroking her thighs.
Gabriella put down her glass and looked at him, lovingly, too. Every time he kisses her, she feels her heart beating fast, her knees going weak, and those glorious sparks. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him, passionately for a slow and long moment.
She was about to pull back, but Troy pulled her back into the kiss, turning the kiss into a French-kissing make out. He pulled her off the counter and carried her into his arms bridal-style. He set her on her feet and gently pushed her against the wall, his lips still attached to her. When Gabriella pulled away to breath, Troy slides his lips down to her neck and kissed it repeatedly. He heard Gabriella moaning, which gave him longing and pleasure. Unable to control himself, he slides down one of her straps of her cami. He kissed her bare shoulder up to her neck again.
"I love you, Troy." She said, while moaning.
"I love you, too, Gabriella," He said, saying each word with kiss "Which is why I'm going to do this." He kissed Gabriella's neck once more and found a sensitive spot on it. Once he found it, he sucked on it hard.
Gabriella couldn't help herself, but moan. Hearing her moan just made him suck harder and harder until he was finally done and pulled away. He cupped her face again and kissed her both passionately and hungrily. Gabriella beamed, kissing him. Unable to control herself, she slides her hands under his night-shirt and rubbed his abs. Troy slide down her other strap. A voice in his head was telling him to stop now, while another voice was screaming to do it now. Troy slides his right hand under the back of Gabriella's cami and gently rubbed her back, earning another moan form her.
"Troy, we shouldn't." She said, pulling back, breathing heavily.
Troy looked at her, breathing hard. He agrees, they shouldn't. At lease not right now. It's not the right time. But now he panicked. Does Gabriella think that he's a pervert?
"I'm sorry-'' He began to say
But Gabriella cut him off with another kiss. She pulled back and smiled at him. "Troy…it's just too soon, you know. I'm not ready not." She said.
Troy nodded his head, understanding. "No, that's okay. I don't want to force you. If you want to wait, then we'll wait."
Gabriella grinned at him and kissed him on the cheek and lips. "You're an amazing boyfriend."
"I know. And you're an amazing girlfriend." Troy said, kissing her.
Gabriella signed as she pulled back. She took his hand and led him to the couch. Troy signed, sitting down. But smiled at Gabriella, who cuddled into his chest. Then she burst into laughter.
Troy looked at her, confused. "Why are you laughing?" He said.
Gabriella calmed her laughter down, but still giggled a bit. "I was thinking about something. Can you imagine Shar and the others walking in while we're making-out against the wall?" She laughed harder again.
She may have found that funny. But Troy blushed, finding it too-damn-embarrassing. Lord knows that would be the most embarrassing thing in his life if that ever happened. When she finished laughing, she took a deep breath and nuzzled into his chest, while closing her eyes. Troy stroked her hair and gazed at her. He couldn't believe his luck, that she's now his-all his. He gazed down at her neck and gently strokes the love bite mark he gave her.
"Do you me a favor?" Troy said, stroking her neck.
"What?"
"Don't cover your neck. I want you to show it off. To let everyone know that you're all mine." Troy said, grinning. He kissed her neck again. He wants everyone to know that Gabriella his, especially the pervert guys at their school, especially Bass, who try to flirt with her. And if any guy- any guy who's stupid enough- tries to do anything to her, he'll kick the fucking shit out of them.
"I promise, I won't. I want the world to know that Troy Bolton is now my boyfriend and that I'm proudly wearing his hickey," Gabriella said, and leaned closer to his neck. "But since you left a love bite on me, I think it's fair that I do this." She leaned in closer to his neck, and kissed it, getting moans from Troy, who held her tighter. She found a sensitive spot on his neck and sucked on it hard.
Troy let out a loud moan of pleasure. "Gabriella…that feels…good." He said, moaning.
Gabriella finally was done and pulled back. She obverse her creation, the love bite mark she left on the neck, and grinned. "Now we match." She said, kissing him for a second, and then pulled back.
Troy sat up and took her hand. He kissed it and then her lips. "Let's go out today. I want to get you something." He said.
"No, you don't have to," She insisted, She took his hand and nuzzled into it. "You gave me you and that's all I need."
Troy smiled, seeing he has the most perfect girlfriend. She definitely isn't like all the other Upper East Girls, who are bitchy and snobby and shallow. She's the complete opposite and that's what he loves most about her. He crashed his lips against hers, getting on top of her, kissing her hungrily with much passion and lust. Gabriella moaned and deepened the kiss, but gently pushed Troy off to breath. Troy gave her a quick kiss and gazed down at the beauty that was under him.
"I know. And you are to me. You are everything to me and all I'll ever need. But I still want to give you something, something really special." He said.
Gabriella sat up and smiled at him. She didn't want Troy to do too much for her, but he was so sweet for insisting that he gets her something. Unable to resist him, she signed and finally nodded. Troy grinned at her and kissed for a long moment, before pulling back.
"Okay, cutie, let's go get change." She said, getting up, giving him a peck on the lips, and then went to the guestroom to get dressed. She took a quick, hot shower and dressed in an off white cashmere shoulder-off sweater, dark stonewash boot-cut jeans, and brown suede cuffed lace-up knee-length flat boots. She threw on her new brown plaid jacket her dad got for her from his vacation in London. She grabbed her purse and waited for Troy in the living room.
She suddenly felt two strong arms wrapped around her. She turned around to see Troy, holding her tight, nibbling her neck, already dressed. She giggled, feeling him leaving kisses on her neck. She pulled away from him, stood up, and gave him a quick kiss.
"You look beautiful." He told her. He pinned her against the wall and kissed her again, a little harder, but still with lust and hunger.
Gabriella giggled as she pushed him off. "Come on, let's go." She said.
Troy nodded and took her hand. They rode the elevator downstairs, holding hands. As they pushed the door open, they both felt freezing cold. The snow was snowing harder than they thought, the wind was cold and blowing, and the streets were covered with at lease 3 inches of snow and growing.
Gabriella bravely hugged herself to keep warm, ignoring the icy cold weather. She turned to Troy and said "Do you still want to go?"
Troy firmly nodded. No way was he going to let the weather ruin his plans again like they did last night. He took Gabriella's hand, and they both bravely walked into the icy snow. He hailed a cab that took them to a small jewelry store. It wasn't like that fancy Tiffany's one, but it was less expensive and sold jewelry at a pretty fair price. They passed racks of diamond and gold pricy-looking jewelry. None of those would be right for Gabriella, Troy thought.
Finally he saw a rack of good jewelry. There was a certain one that caught his eye. He went to the rack and pulled out a cool necklace. It was a rhimstone T-shape necklace with two pink rhimstone beads with a simple chain. Troy examined it and grinned. It would look too perfect on Gabriella. It wasn't too flashy, yet not too boring. It was just right.
He turned to Gabriella and said "Close your eyes."
Gabriella looked at him, curious, but closed her eyes.
Troy got behind her and put the necklace on her. He slowly turned her to the mirror and grinned, seeing how perfect the necklace looked on her. "Okay open your eyes." He whispered in her ear.
Gabriella opened her eyes, and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was speechless.
"That's what I'm getting for my beautiful girlfriend." He said, kissing her on the cheek.
She touched the T on the necklace, looked down at it, and smiled. The necklace was just perfect and simply beautiful. She turned to Troy, while holding the T, and said "What does the T stands for anyway?" She smiled at him, lovingly. "Does it stand for Troy?"
Troy's cheeks felt hot, his throat dry, and feeling a blush appearing on his face. "Well…that's one of the things the T stands for?"
"Well what's the other?" She asked.
His blush got redder. "It's…also…stands for…true love." He mumbled.
Gabriella smiled at Troy's cuteness. She realized how easily embarrassed he gets, but thought it was pretty adorable. She took his hand and lifted his chin up to meet her eyes. Once he did, she placed a kiss on both cheeks and planted a quick one on his lips.
Troy's blush deepened to a crimson red, but smiled at her. He wondered how he was so lucky to have an amazing girlfriend like Gabriella. "So do you like it?" He asked.
"I love it. Like I love you." She said, placing another peck on his lips.
Troy pulled her closer to him and kissed her, beaming. Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. They could have kept on kissing if it wasn't for the salesperson interrupting them.
"What?" Troy asked the saleswoman, pissed.
"I'm sorry, but if you two want to do that, then I suggest you get a room." She said policy and then eyed the necklace on Gabriella's neck. "Will you be buying that?"
"Yes," Troy said, taking Gabriella's hand "It's for my girlfriend."
"Very well," She said, leading them to the register and ringed it up. "Would you like it wrapped in a box?"
Gabriella shook her head. "No thank you, I'll wear it out."
They left the store, hand-in-hand, and walked in the park. The snow transformed Central Park into a winter wonder land. "Whoa…" Troy whispered, looking around.
"Yeah." Gabriella agreed, and then aimed a snowball at him.
"Hey!" He said. Then got hit by another. "Oh, you're dead."
"You got to catch me to kill me," She said, throwing another snowball at him and running. Troy chased after her full speed.
Gabriella heard him behind, and ran faster. She turned back for a moment to throw another snowball at him and then turned forward and ran faster.
Troy chased her around the entire park. He was so close to catching her, but lost her in the meadow. He looked around and couldn't see her. He looked at every corner and still couldn't see her. "I know you're here. I'm going to find you." Suddenly felt a snowball throw at his head. He rubbed the back o the head and groaned. Man that girl has an arm, he thought. And felt two more snowballs aimed at him.
Troy turned to his back and saw Gabriella's long dark hair blowing in the wind as she ran. Gotcha! He thought, smirking, running at her full speed. He chased after her and finally grabbed her by the waist and spun her around.
Gabriella giggled as he lifted her up and spun her around and around. "Put me down!" She said, giggling.
"Not a chance," He said and then tackled her to the snow-covered ground. She giggled; trying to push him off, but Troy pinned her down and got on top of her. And tickled her like crazy.
"Troy stop! Stop!" She said, laughing.
He smirked, tickling her more. Gabriella wasn't about to give up. She grabbed him left-arm and tickled him on his side. Once he let his guard down, she quickly escaped from his grip and pinned him to the ground.
"No fair, that's cheating." He whined.
Gabriella silenced him with a kiss. "Too bad." She whispered in his ear and then kissed it. She lay by his side and held his hand, watching the snow fall from the sky. She breathed in the winter air and signed. "New York is so beautiful in the winter. Soon it'll be Christmas and Christmas in New York is absolutely amazing." She said.
Troy gave her hand a gentle squeezed and looked at his girlfriend, lovingly, thinking how beautiful she looked. "Yeah, I've always loved Christmas since I was a kid. It's my favorite holiday." He said.
Gabriella turned to him and squeezed his hand, too. "Mine too. You're going to love Christmas in New York. Everything is so wonderful and amazing. I just love everything about Christmas."
"Me, too," Troy said "Expect when Jackie and mom go all holiday-shopping crazy. I remember how me and my dad had to carry all the shopping bags." His smile dropped and he signed, thinking about his dad. "My dad always loved the holidays. He practically covered the house with decorations. Made us sing songs. Even convinced Jackie and me that Santa existed till we were twelve," He paused for a moment. "I really miss him. The holidays haven't been the same for the past 5 ½ years without him." He felt tears forming in his eyes, but blinked them away.
He turned to Gabriella and looked into her understanding eyes. He suddenly felt selfish. Even though his dad was died, he and his mom gave him and Jackie good childhood memories. Troy realized that Gabriella and her siblings didn't have too many good childhood memories because of their horrible mother. "I'm sorry, I'm just being selfish." He whispered.
Gabriella shook her head, gave him a squeeze on his hand with a warm smile "Don't be," She said "Because you're not being selfish. You just miss him, that all." She pecked his cheek.
Troy kissed her hand and smiled at her, wondering again how lucky he was to have such an amazing, understanding, and caring girlfriend. "So what are the holidays like at the Montezs' residence?" He asked.
"Well kind of the same as yours. My dad is a holiday-addict. Christmas is out favorite holiday. We cover the place with loads of decorations, sing and play Christmas carols nonstop. My dad even dresses up like Santa Claus every year," She said, giggling. Then suddenly her smile dropped. "My mom wasn't around that much for the holidays though." She brought her knees up and wrapped her arms around them, lost in thought. Troy noticed a tear drop rolling down her cheek.
He sat up, wiped her tear away and turned her chin to him. Gabriella put on a brave smile. She took a deep breath and laid her head on his shoulder.
Troy squeezed her hand and kissed her head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. But if you ever want to talk, about anything, I want you to know that you can always count on me." He said.
Gabriella was done with her tears and took a deep breath. She looked at Troy and smiled, brushing her hair back. She was so glad that Troy was hers. He's so sweet, caring, and charming. "Thank you." She said, snuggling up to him.
Troy wrapped his arms around her and tightens his grip, kissed Gabriella's head again, and just held her for a very long time. It seemed like hours, but felt wonderful despite the snow.
"I love you, Gabriella." Troy said, looking down at her.
"I love you, too, Troy." Gabriella said, looking up at him.
They gazed into each other's eyes, lovingly and got lost in them as ocean blue eyes mixed with rich chocolate brown. They leaned in toward each other until their lips connected and kissed passionately. Despite the cold, they were heating up fast with their hot-heated kiss.
