The date of the wedding was set, July 18. And thanks with the help of their parents; a huge and nice church in LA was rented for the date. Troy and Gabriella called the rest of their friends and relatives, inviting them to their wedding. Gabriella asked Taylor and Kelsi if they'd be her two other bridesmaids, and they said that they'd be more than happy to. And when Troy told Chad that he was going to be one of the best men, he did the cabbage patch dance, and hugged Troy so tight that Troy could feel his lungs being squeezed together. Since the wedding was only a few months away, Troy and Gabriella have more than enough time to plan everything else for the wedding.
December quickly turned into January, and it was now Friday, Troy's birthday weekend. (His birthday really is on Sunday, but they still get to go to LA for his birthday, and will fly back to New York Monday night) Troy, Gabriella, and Jackie were seated on their airplane that was now landing in an LA airport. When they left New York, they were dressed in their winter clothes since it was still freezing cold. But as soon as their plane reached Sunny California, the teens went to the bathroom and took turns changing into their summer clothes in the bathroom. Troy changed out of his black wool sweater and matching black corduroys into a pale blue sleeveless shirt, navy blue baggy shorts, and flip-flops. Gabriella changed out of her red cashmere cardigan sweater dress and black leggings into a plum purple, scoop-neck tank top, dark denim boot-cut jeans, and black buckle flats. Jackie changed out of her pink fuzzy sweater, denim skirt, and leggings into a bright pink tube top that was ridiculously short and showed off her entire belly, bleach blue cutoff jeans shorts, and bright pink wedge flip-flops. She added a matching bright pink bandana she tied around her pale blonde hair.
Finally when the plane landed, the three teens rushed out of the plane, grabbed their suitcases, and went outside. When they got outside, Troy grinned as he looked around the familiar territory: the beaches that were nearby, the nice breeze in his hair, everyone dressed in summer clothes even though it's winter, and most of all, the beautiful sunny golden sun that was shining in the clear blue, cloud-free sky.
He breathed in the familiar LA air. He may live in New York City, but LA will always be forever his home. He wrapped his arms around Gabriella and pulled her closer to him. He gestated his hand around the sunny city, and said "Gabriella, welcome to my home, Los Angeles aka LA!"
Gabriella looked around the sunny city, taking in the sights she was seeing. The beach that was nearby where people were hanging out, getting a tan, and playing in the ocean. People walking by her, dressed in summer clothes even though it's still winter. And felt the gorgeous sun on her face. She smiled, realizing why Troy loved LA so much. She felt as if it was already summer vacation. She told Troy, who was smiling at her. "So if your uncle Felix picking up us up?"
"No. I talked to him on the phone. He said he arranged a car for us to drive to his place." Troy said.
"And I think I see it." Jackie said, looking at the airport's parking lot. She looked surprised.
"What do you mean?" Troy asked as he and Gabriella turned to her.
Jackie didn't say a word, and only pointed at a certain car in the parking lot. When Troy and Gabriella turned to the parking lot, excitement lit up in Troy's eyes. He grabbed Gabriella's hand and ran over to the car. The car turned out to be Troy's old truck. He had to leave it in LA when his mom got transferred to New York. Old was the first word someone would use to describe the truck. The truck is a Chevy that looked like it's been an accident or two, is white with some paint chipping off, and was bought in the sixties by his dad, who was the previous owner.
"Oh my god! My truck!" Troy said, running his hand through the truck's hood. "I know Uncle Felix was holding it for me at his place, but I thought by now that he probably put it in the junkyard."
"The thing belongs in the junkyard." Jackie told him.
"Fuck you!" He told his sister. "Unless you want to walk all the way to Uncle Felix's I suggest you shut your mouth and get in the damn truck." Troy told her as he put all their suitcases into the truck. Since the doors were unlocked, he opened the door to the driver's seat and got in. The keys were already in the ignition; it took him three tries but he was finally able to start the truck. Despite the fact that the truck's was old, the engine still runs good.
"Whatever ass. I call shotgun!" Jackie said, reaching out to the passenger's seat door.
Troy quickly locked it before she could open the door. "No fucking way! I want Gabriella to sit in the front. You and your stinky size ten feet can sit in the back."
Gabriella put her hand on Jackie's shoulder, and said "You don't mind if I sit in the front, do you Jackie?"
Jackie couldn't help smiling at her. "I guess not. I'll just sit in the backseat, and stick my feet out the window."
Troy groaned and slapped his forehead when Jackie got in the backseat, lay down on the seats and rolled down the windows, and stuck her feet out the left window. He had to cover his nose to escape his sister's horrible feet smelt. Her feet smelt like 6-month expired milk. But soon he smiled as Gabriella got into the passenger's seat and gave his right cheek a quick kiss. He then drove his tuck out of the parking lot, and drove straight to Uncle Felix's.
Gabriella rolled her window all the way down; and loved the cool breeze blowing in her hair. She took a few pictures of her phone camera as she passed the LA sights.
After two-an-half hours of driving, Troy parked his truck in front of a huge mansion. He cut off the truck's engine, and got out of the truck. Like a gentleman, he opened the door for Gabriella and helped her out of the truck. He held her hand, smiled at her, and waved his hand at the huge mansion. "Welcome home, Brie."
Gabriella grinned at him, and looked around the mansion. It was definitely big that's for sure. She could see a huge pool and pool house in the backyard. The mansion reminded her of Halley's dad's mansion from the Parent's Trap, a movie she's addicted to. The house definitely looked a lot-actually, exactly like it. "It's incredible." She told him.
"Isn't it?" Jackie said, getting out of the truck. "Our Uncle built this entire place with his own two hands. He modeled it after the same mansion from the Parent's Trap. I wonder if he's home." She cupped her hands around her mouth and said, practically shouting "HEY UNCLE PHIL! We're here!"
Just then, an attractive man in his forties or so walked out of the mansion. He looked like an older version of Troy with his bright blue eyes and dark brown hair, expect Troy was tanner and his eyes were brighter. He was dressed in a green t-shirt and blue plaid shorts, and was bare-footed. Once he saw all of them, he ran over to them, picked Troy and Jackie up, and gave them both a big bear hug. Once he put them down, he said with an Irish accent "Jacqueline! Troy! I haven't seen you wee' little nuggets since last year. Look how much you've grown! You're practically grown ups!"
Jackie giggled at her uncle while adjusting her pink bandana. "Uncle Phil, you know you don't have to call me by my full name. Everyone usually calls me, Jackie."
Troy turned back to Gabriella and beckoned her to come closer to them. When she did, he wrapped his around protectively her, smiled at her, and turned back to his uncle. "Gabriella, this is Uncle Felix. He's my dad's twin brother, but is two minutes older," He said. "Uncle Felix, I'd like you to meet my beautiful fiancée and the love of my life, Gabriella Montez."
"Hi Mr. Felix." Gabriella greeted him. "It's nice to meet you." She said with a friendly smile and stuck her hand out for him to shake.
"Hey, you call me Felix." He said, shaking her hand and then pulled her into a big bear hug. When he set her down on her feet, he placed his hands on her shoulders and then pinched her cheeks. "Look at you, little Gabi. Troy has shown me countless pictures of you from the day you two met to present time. Your hair is definitely darker than I've seen in the pictures; it's as black as a raven's wing. And you're far more beautiful in person than you are in pictures. You're such a beauty!" He then turned to Troy. "You weren't kidding, Troy. She does have the looks of a dark-haired angel."
Funny you should say that, Gabriella thought.
"Hey Uncle, are you making a barbeque?" Jackie asked him.
"Yep. I'm having a big cookout for you guys. Thanks to big save at Bj's; I was able to buy enough food for a cook-out feast." He answered, rubbing his hands together. "When you're done unpacking, come down to the backyard and take a dip in the pool while I cook up some food in the grill."
"Are you kidding?" Jackie said, and then checked the time on her watch. "You mean you're having a cookout at ten o'clock in the morning?"
"You bet I am!" Her uncle proudly said. "Aw, Jacqueline. It doesn't matter what time you have a cookout, it matters about having a barbeque with your friends and relatives. Now you change into your swim gear and come down to the backyard."
They agreed got their suitcases from the truck, and went into the mansion. Since they've visited the mansion and stayed over there over a hundred, Troy and Jackie have their own rooms that are decorated with their own taste and style. Troy showed Gabriella around the mansion, showing her the vineyard that was next door and the porch that overlooks the entire place. The girls finished unpacking before Troy did, and minutes later, they were in the backyard, lounging in lounge chairs by the poolside, dressed in their swimsuits. Jackie was wearing a sky blue skimpy string-bikini while Gabriella was dressed in a one-piece red bathing suit.
Gabriella's red bathing suit was identical to a lifeguard's. On any other girl, the swimsuit would have looked okay, but on Gabriella it looked unbelievably sexy and hot.
The girls were lounging by the pool, getting tans from the sun, and were talking about random things that came to their minds. "I totally love Degrassi!" Jackie told Gabriella. "I'm, like, addicted to that show."
"Me, too. But you know what, Jackie? You look a lot like Miriam McDonald who plays Emma in Degrassi. Actually, you look exactly like her. You could be her twin." Gabriella replied.
"You think so?" Jackie said, putting her sunglasses up.
Gabriella nodded, smiling at her. With her long pale blonde hair and pretty face, and slim figure, Jackie could easily be considered Miriam's twin. The only difference between Jackie and Miriam were their eyes. Jackie's eyes are blue while Miriam's eyes are brown.
"Definitely! Totally!" She said, sitting up in her chair and wrapping her arms around her legs.
"Thanks Gabi!" Jackie grinned. She then looked behind Gabriella's left shoulder blade, noticing a cool design on it. The design was an angel halo and wings. She then pointed at it and asked "Is that a tattoo?"
Gabriella shook her head, still smiling. She turned her head to take a peek at the cool design on her shoulder. The angel halo and wings wasn't a tattoo, it was a birthmark. So many people who have seen the birthmark thought it was a tattoo, since it was too detailed to be a birthmark. She even remembers how when she and Sharpay first met, the first thing Sharpay asked was if her birthmark was a tattoo. "It's actually a birthmark. But so many people think it's a tattoo." She explained.
"Well it is pretty cool. I wish I had a cool birthmark like that," Jackie said. She then reached into her purse and pulled out her pack of cigarettes. She offered one to Gabriella, but she turned it down. "Maybe I'll get that as a tattoo." She said, lighting up her cigarette.
"You're actually thinking about getting a tattoo?" Gabriella asked her, a bit surprised. "I didn't know you like them, Jackie."
"Yeah, well." She paused for a moment, inhaling the cigarette and letting out a cloud of smoke. "To me, tattoos are dead-ass sexy. I'm planning on getting one before we leave LA."
"Well tattoos aren't my thing. But if you're serious about getting one, then you should think about what kind of tattoo you want. Like for example, what about a little black kitty?" Gabriella suggested.
Jackie took a puff of her cigarette while thinking about that. Finally she put down her cigarette, and smiled at Gabriella. "A little black kitty. That's a really cool idea. That is totally sexy and hot! You should totally come with me when I get my tattoo. I'm getting it, like, tomorrow."
"Okay, sounds cool." Gabriella smiled.
Jackie smiled back at Gabriella, and then cocked her head a bit, studying her. She took another puff of her cigarette, and then said "You know who you look like, Gabi? You look exactly like Vanessa Hudgens! I'm dead-ass serious-you can be her twin. And you know what, now that I think about it, you sound exactly like her, and even have the same exact style like her. It's so weird, it's scary."
Gabriella couldn't help, but giggle. She noticed Jackie was looking at her, a bit surprised by her laughter, and couldn't help but laugh more. "Ironically you're not the first person to tell me that. In fact, Vanessa Hudgens is exactly my twin cousin, and we're instantly close. Besides Sharpay, she's my best friend. Too many people get us mixed up, even my own dad."
Jackie's blue eyes popped wide in surprise. "You are serious!?" When Gabriella nodded, she couldn't help but sequel and gave Gabriella a hug. "OMG!!! That's so cool. So, is she coming to the wedding?"
"Yup!" Gabriella nodded. "She said she wouldn't miss it for the world. She's even bringing her boyfriend, Zac Efron. She's really happy for me, and she can't wait for the wedding."
Suddenly Troy burst out of the house, and ran fast into the backyard. He was wearing pale blue swim trunks. "Hey water bugs!" H cried, as he cannonball into the huge, six through nine-feet deep pool, making a huge splash that splashed Gabriella and Jackie.
"Troy, you ass! I just got my hair done!" Jackie exclaimed, pissed at her brother for getting her hair wet, and was squeezing her dry.
Gabriella handed Jackie a towel to dry her hair, got up from her chair, and walked closer to the pool. She could see Troy underwater, and he waved at her. She giggled while saying "You are so crazy, Champ."
When Troy came up, he shook his head and brushed his hair from his eyes. He looked up at Gabriella and winked and smiled at her. "I know, but you still love me anyway."
"Yeah, I do." She said, bending down and kissed his cheek. "So, how's the water?"
"It's great. And you should come in." He replied, grabbing her hand and then pulled Gabriella into the pool.
When she came up to the surface, she wiped her face and brushed her hair back. She then turned to Troy, who was chuckling, and splashed water at him. "You act so silly, you know that." She giggled, splashing him.
Troy then grabbed he arms, stopping her from splashing, and pulled her closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a sweet, passionate kiss on her lips. Gabriella smiled while kissing him back, melting into the kiss. Moments later, he pulled back and her eyes were glowing at him.
"Am I forgiven?" He asked her.
"Maybe." She teased. He then leaned over and kissed her again, kissing her a bit longer, sweetly with lots of passion. When she pulled back, she grinned at him. "Okay, now you are." She said, and then kissed him for a brief minute.
"Come on. Let's go." He said, grabbing her hand, and then they dived underwater. They swam together down to the nine-feet deep section of the pool, and played around underwater. Troy smiled at Gabriella, and took her hand. With his other hand, he pointed at his eye, then pointed at his heart, and lastly at her. In hand language, he was saying that he loves her.
Gabriella smiled at him and placed her hands over her chest, touched. She then pointed at her eye, then pointed at her heart, next pointed at him, and lastly held up two of her fingers. In hand language, she was saying that she loves him, too. She wrapped her arms around Troy's neck and kissed him passionately. When they pulled back from their sweet kiss, they laid their hands by their sides and held each other's hands, and gazed at each other, smiling as they become lost in the moment.
But when the chlorine was too much for her to handle and she needed to breathe, Gabriella pulled back from Troy and swam up to the surface. She took gulps of air while shaking her hair dry. She swam to the edge of the pool, and climbed out the pool.
Troy came up from underwater and swam to where Gabriella was. He held out his hand so she could help him out, and she helped pull him out the pool.
"Thanks Brie." He said as he took her hand and led her over to the lounge chairs. He handed her a towel, and wrapped one around his waist.
"Hey lovebirds," Uncle Felix called out. "The food's finally ready. Come and pig out!"
Troy and Gabriella turned around to see Felix and Jackie setting up the cookout at a wooden, benched-seated, picnic table. Felix placed the food on the table and brought out a big ice-cooler filled with cans and bottles of soda. Troy and Gabriella went over to the picnic table and took a seat. They could see that Felix really outdid himself. The table was covered with food: hamburgers and cheeseburgers, hotdogs, barbeque chicken, corn on cob, ribs, and French fries. On a small plastic table that was near the table, had lots of desserts on it: Belgium chocolate cheesecake, Hershey chocolate croissants, and a huge cupcake platter.
Everyone grabbed some sodas and filled their plates with food. They sat at the picnic and talked and joked around while feasting on ribs and burgers. While they ate, Uncle Felix was telling them how LA has been since they've left, telling them much hasn't change. Troy and Jackie, and also Gabriella told Uncle Felix all about New York City. And Jackie told their uncle all about collage life at Harvard University, and she told Gabriella all about the latest hookups she had with some cute guys-she had about twelve different hookups.
"Jackie, what about your boyfriends? Sean? Daemon? Or Pete, your supposed soul-mate?" Gabriella reminded her.
"That's the thing about Jackie, Gabriella. She's never faithful to her boyfriends. She could have a hundred boyfriends, and still she'll no doubt hookup and sleep with every guy she sees." Troy said, turning to Jackie, who was sitting across from him, and smirked at her.
"Fuck you!" Jackie growled at him.
"Jacqueline, language!" Their uncle warned.
Jackie glared at Troy, coldly, giving him a death glare, but wanted so badly to give him the finger. She then suddenly smirked at him. "But you want to know the real difference between me and Troy, Gabi. Unlike my dumbass brother, I didn't make out with a dog last Christmas. And guess what, Troy? I was the one who put Boi on top of you while you were sleeping." She smiled wickedly at him.
"That was you?!" Troy exclaimed, pointing his finger at her. His blue eyes became cold as ice filled with anger. He grinded his teeth. "You mean because of you, I smooched a shit-smelling-breath dog when I was dreaming I was kissing my beautiful Gabriella." He slowly turned his head to one side and then to the other side; his anger was too much he could barely speak. "You're so died, Bitch!!!" He said, his voice rising, and then jumped across the table and pounced on Jackie. The two siblings fought, slapping each other, hitting, and pulling each other's hair. They rolled around in the ground, wrestling and fighting like little kids. They kept rolling around while fighting until they reached the edge of the poll and fell into it.
Moments later, they both came up to the surface and took gulps of air; both were surprised by their sudden splash in the pool. They then turned around to each other, their blue eyes filled with the familiar anger, and soon they were wrestling in the water. Troy got a hold of Jackie, and he docked her head repeatedly into the water. Jackie kicked her feet in fury while trying to break free of her brother's grip. She then had to do the drastic thing-she kicked him hard in the balls. Troy bit his lip in pain, as he slowly released her and held his private spot.
"Shit Jackie!" He groaned in pain. "That was fucking harsh-" He was soon cut off when Jackie grabbed him and docked him in the water, nearly drowning him. While she was too busy docking him in the water, Troy's hands went to her back and pulled her pale blond golden locks hard, nearly pulling them from her skull.
"Get you hands off my hair, you jackass!" She screamed, and twisted his arm. Troy yelped in pain, but whacked Jackie hard in the ribs. The two siblings continued this, fighting and hitting each other while docking each other in the water.
"Jacqueline! Troy! In the name of the Jesus Christ!" Uncle Felix exclaimed as he and Gabriella got into the pool and went over to Troy and Jackie, who were nearly trying to kill each other. The uncle and raven-haired beauty pulled the siblings away from each other. Uncle Felix stared at his nephew and niece, feeling rather angry himself, the anger icing his blue eyes. He knew Troy and Jackie aren't too fond of each other, but really? They wrestled each other on the ground and fought nonstop in the pool, acting like little kids. He looked back and forth at Troy and Jackie, crossing his arms over his chest. "In the name of the great Christ!" He yelled. "What the bloody hell is wrong with you two? I know you aren't fond of each other, but honestly! Fighting? Wrestling on the ground? Nearly trying to drown each other in the pool? What are you, nine?" He looked at them, but Troy and Jackie avoided his eyes, knowing their uncle was real mad. "Fine, if you're gonna act like kids, then I'll treat you like kids. Both are in the house, up to your rooms now! You're grounded until noon tomorrow!!!"
"What! But Uncle, I have brunch with Jenny. I haven't seen her practically forever." Jackie said. Jenny is her best friend and practical twin sister. They don't look alike though; Jenny is Filipino and African Descent from her mom and British-Canadian from her dad. But the two of them are so close, that they're practically sisters, twin sisters. Jackie hasn't seen her since they've went to different collages.
"And I have plans!" Troy protested. "I was going to give Gabriella a tour around LA. I was going to take her to the beach."
"Quiet!" Their uncle said, practically yelling, holding up his hands to silent them. "I'm in charge here, and what I say goes. If you two are gonna like act like kids, then I'll treat you like kids. You both are grounded until noon tomorrow! End of discussion! Now help me bring all this stuff inside, and then go up to your rooms."
They all got out the pool, and helped their uncle bring the food and drinks inside the house. While they were bringing stuff in, Troy and Jackie gave each other dirty looks and often the screw-you-finger. While he was bringing in the last case of soda, Troy noticed that Gabriella was wandering off somewhere. He put down the soda, and followed her. Gabriella only led him to the other side of the fenced backyard. She looked up at the sky, and stared at it practically for hours. Troy thought she was probably daydreaming, but he then noticed that Gabriella was mouthing words and often nodding, like she was talking to someone in the sky.
He leaned in closer to hear her, but she was talking too quiet and fast for him to understand. The words he heard her said were "Fine then. I'll meet you up there, Spirit."
Gabriella nodded to the sky, once more. But when she turned around, she gasped when she saw Troy standing behind her. "Oh my god. Troy!" She said, placing her hand on her heart. "You scared me.!"
"I'm sorry, Brie. But who are you talking, too? I heard you talking, but I didn't see anyone." Troy asked her.
"Oh." He noticed the surprise in her eyes. She smiled sheepishly, and replied "I just do that sometimes, look up and talk to myself." She wanted to change the subject, and eyes the case of soda he was carrying. "Need help?"
"Oh, but I would like it if I held your hand." Troy insisted, offering her his hand, smiling at her. Gabriella giggled as she took his hand. As they walked into the house, Troy was complaining to Gabriella how all this was Jackie's fault and how he wished he never had a sister.
"You don't mean that, Troy. I know you think she's a pain and how you two mostly don't get along, but she's your sister. And I know deep down inside you care about her." Gabriella insisted.
"Maybe." Troy said, as they walked into the kitchen. He put the soda case in the fridge. He then turned to Gabriella, and rubbed his hands together while licking his lips. Gabriella giggled at him; she knew what he wanted and it involves their lips. He carried Gabriella on top on the kitchen counter, and gazed at her as he rubbed her soft thighs. Gabriella pulled him closer to her, and wrapped her arms around his neck. They leaned in closer to each other, and their lips met in a sweet, very passionate kiss. Troy laid Gabriella flat on the counter as they kissed passionately, their tongues doing a dance. Their passionate kiss turned into a passionate, French-kissing make-out.
"Ahem. I hate you ruin you lovebirds' love fest, but this is my kitchen, not a make-out session." Uncle Felix said, interrupting them. When Troy and Gabriella pulled back, their faces were flush. They turned to Felix, who was leaning against the kitchen wall, smirking at them.
"Sorry sir." Gabriella apologized. She escaped Troy's grip on her, and hopped off the counter. She turned around to give Troy a peck, and then went upstairs to her room.
Troy looked after her, dazed with love-filled eyes. His uncle noticed the love-daze look on his face, and he nudged Troy in the arm. "Aye, Troy. When you're right, you're right. The girl's a pure beauty. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also nice, polite, and a sweetheart. I can see why you're crazy about her." He told Troy.
"Yeah, but it's too bad I can't show her around LA. Unless you changed your mind." Troy smiled sheepishly at his uncle, hoping he'll change his mind.
His uncle merely smiled at him and patted his shoulder. "Nice try, sporty. Now up to your room." He pointed to the stairs.
Troy frowned at his uncle, but went upstairs to his room. Once he was alone in his room, Troy changed into his white wife-beater and blue basketball shorts. He was frustrated at his uncle for grounding him, mad at his sister for getting him in trouble, and more than furious at Jackie for making him kiss a dog. To work out his issues, Troy put on his boxing gloves and pounded on his punching bag. Besides sketching, this was a great way to work out his issues and anger. By the time he was punching his punching bag, it was already past five. He was dripping with sweat, but felt great from the workout. He took off his sweat-damp wife-beater and dried himself with a towel.
Suddenly he felt two hands feeling his butt-cheeks. He froze when he felt the hands wandering around, traveling from the top of his back then back to his butt. The hands then pinched his butt-cheeks. He let out a yelp, and turned around and jumped, seeing it was Gabriella. "Geez Gabriella. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Troy said.
"Maybe." She said, innocently with a smirk.
"Maybe," Troy teased, taking her hand and led her over to the bed. He placed her on his lap. He noticed that she was wearing her plum purple tank top and dark boot-cut jeans, but saw that she was bare-footed. "So, did you finish your unpacking?" He asked her.
"Yeah," She nodded. "Afterward your uncle gave me a tour of the entire place, and showed me around the vineyard and the horse stable. He showed me all the horses. This place is absolutely incredible." She giggled. "I went over to Jackie's room and talked to her for awhile. We even turned in her stereo and danced around her room, and took a few silly pictures. And after that, I decided to pay my loving fiancé a visit." She kissed his cheek and asked "Can I borrow one of your shirts to wear to bed? I know it's too early, but still can I?"
"I'd be insulted if you didn't." Troy said, getting up and walked over to his dresser. He rummaged through his drawers until he found something of his she could wear, his pale blue t-shirt. "I could leave the room if you want me to?" He told her as he handed her the shirt.
"You don't have to," Gabriella insisted. She noticed the gleam in his eyes, and then smirked at him. "But you have to close your eyes."
Troy pouted at her, but did what he was told. When she made sure his eyes were covered, Gabriella peeled off her purple tank top and jeans, and changed into Troy's pale blue t-shirt. The blue shirt was big on her tiny petite size and looked like an over-size shirt, but its cotton materiel was soft and was scented with Troy's fragrance. When she was done changing, she crawled into the bed with him and snuggled up with him, while closing her eyes and inhaled Troy's smell.
Troy smiled down at her as he brushed her hair with his fingers. Gabriella's hair really is amazing. It's long, but not too long, like down to the bottom-butt long; its style is wavy with natural lustrous curls; it always feel sleek like silk; and it amazed him how before her hair color was just nearly-black, but now it darkened to raven-black.
"I can't believe Uncle Felix grounded me on a Friday until noon tomorrow. I shouldn't even be grounded. Jackie started it." He said.
Gabriella rolled off Troy and lay by his left side. "Well in her defense, you did pounce on her first, wrestled her on the ground, and nearly tried to drown her in the pool." She replied.
"Yeah, well because of her, I kissed a dog! A dog!" He then shivered n disgust, remembering his smooch-session with Boi. He let out a breath and held Gabriella's hand. He turned to Gabriella, who was smiling at him and stroked his hair, and smiled at her. "Anyway, are you hungry?"
"Yeah. There are plenty of leftovers from the cookout in the kitchen. Want me to go get us a plate?" She said.
He shook his head while saying "Already taken care of that." He said, reaching out to the nightstand and pulling out a plate of food, including two cupcakes. He reached into the nightstand drawers and pulled out two cans of Coke, and handed one to Gabriella.
They opened their sodas and tapped their cans together. They dig in to their food and talked. Really talked. They talked about their soon-to-be, collage-life, their dream apartment near the collage, and their wedding and honeymoon. Troy wrapped his arms tightly around Gabriella and carried her on his lap while sitting up in the bed.
"So I'm curious about something about. If we were on our honeymoon, what would you do?" Gabriella asked him.
"Well," Troy began. He then stood up and carried her up in his arms, bridal style. He walked back to the door and said "As soon as the wedding and after-party are over, I'd rush us up to our honeymoon suite and locked the door," He locked the bedroom door. "And I would carry you over to the bed." He carried Gabriella back to the bed and gently laid her on it. "I'll take off your pretty white dress." Gabriella wasn't wearing a white dress, but still he imagines she was wearing it and slowly peeled his shirt off her and gazed down at her too beautiful body. "I'd get on top of you. And take off my jacket, white shirt, and tie." His shirt was already taken off. "And kiss you like this." He leaned down toward her, and kissed her with great passion and hungrily.
"What's happens after that?" Gabriella asked, while kissing Troy back passionately, though she had a pretty good guess what it could be.
Troy kissed her all the way down to her jaw line, and kissed right back up to her lips. "Then we'd make love." He whispered, kissing those sweet lips of hers.
"Then what's stopping us from doing it." She whispered. She then pulled back from the kiss and pushed him lightly on to the bed and climbed above him so she straddled him and kissed him on his mouth and down his jaw line. She left butterfly kisses all over his chest. She stopped when she got to his basketball shorts.
"These gotta go" she said with a naughty glint in her eye and she took them off. She smiled and kissed him, letting her hand do the work first to get him started. As soon as her hand started to move up and down on his member, he started to groan and breathe heavy, his member becoming more erect with each stroke.
"Ah Brie faster," he breathed out and she did as he wished. "Oh god," he moaned, gripping the sheets and she kissed him again to keep him quiet. Just as she felt he was about to come she stopped, his head shot up making a whimpering noise as if saying don't stop. She pushed him back down with her hands, a smirk on her face and kissed from his belly button to his member, she licked round the end of it to tease him then took him fully in her mouth, he gasped as she did this but soon came out as a moan and his hand traveled to the back of her head and gently grabbed her hair.
"Oh fuck yeah," he grunted as she deep throated him his breathing became heavier as he reached his climax and let out in her mouth, much to his surprise she licked him clean and swallowed. She made her way back up to his mouth and kissed him, smiling.
You like that baby?" she whispered and he nodded kissing her again as he laid her back on her back him hovering over her. Still on top of the sheets, he put both of his arms at the side of her head pulled back from the kiss and looked her right in the eye.
"I love you, Gabriella." He whispered to her.
"I love you, too, Troy." She whispered back, smiling at him lovingly.
Troy slowly unclasped her bra and slide down her panties, dropping them on the floor with the rest of their clothes.
"You are so beautiful." He whispered coming back into kiss her and leaned over her once more, signaling her to lie back down, which she did. He gazed lovingly at her, and she smiled, telling him it's okay to touch. Troy smiled back as he, just for a moment, traced every inch of Gabriella's beautiful body with his finger tips, and brought his mouth back to hers.
He kissed her down to her jaw line and to her neck. He couldn't help but smile against her skin when she moaned slightly. Gabriella's breathing became heavier as he started to suck on the spot on her neck. He smiled pulling back looking at the mark he'd made and started to kiss down to her breast. His right hand went to her left breast and slowly started to knead it as his mouth went to her other one and sucked on it, she arched her back up to him and moaned louder when he gave the other one the same attention.
Feeling he was now fully erect against her thigh and knew very well she was turned on as much as him, she put her fingers under his chin and brought his face back to hers, kissing him softly a few times.
"I'm ready if you are Troy." She whispered. He smiled, breathing heavily and anxiously, and positioned himself. She kissed him again, wrapping her hands around his neck, bringing him closer.
When he pulled from kissing her once more he looked at her as if to say you ready and she gave him a smile and a small nod then entered her, not breaking eye contact as he slowly thrusted in and out of her. He managed a smile to her as his breathing began to become shorter and she smiled back as a moan came from her. He kissed her a few times before making his way to her neck.
"Oh Troy faster please," she moaned and he grunted in response but did as she wished. It was his turn to moan as she began to meet his thrusts and speed up too.
"Ah shit Gabriella," he grunted and then kissed her and she kissed back, instantly running a hand through his matted chestnut brown hair. They both pulled back, panting like crazy, looking at each other again and he picked up his pace as he could feel her and himself nearing.
"Oh yes Troy," Gabriella moaned out as he penetrated in deeper and faster. Their bodies were glistening with sweat; their heartbeats were going hundred miles an hour.
"Nearly there Brie," he grunted against her lips and with a few more thrusts her walls tightened around him as she came, gripping his shoulders at the feeling, throwing a few more thrusts into her as he let out as well.
"Shit Troy," she panted as her orgasm washed through her and he collapsed on top of her.
"Oh fuck that was," Troy panted into her neck and she managed a little chuckle.
"The best." She stated and she felt him nod and they both lay there tangled together for a few minutes to catch their breath.
Troy rolled onto his side next to her and put his mouth next to her ear.
"I love you," he whispered and she smiled.
"I love you too," she breathed out in a whisper.
Troy pulled her on top of him, and Gabriella pulled the blanket sheet over them. Their bodies were glistening and dripping in sweat from the passionate experience they just had, and they could actually feel the bed shaking with their passion. Troy lifted Gabriella's chin up and leaned up toward her to give her a long, passionate kiss.
Gabriella giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back passionately. Troy then grabbed her waist and rolled her over, so now she was lying by his side. When he pulled back, he saw that her beautiful brown eyes were filled with love and dancing. He played with a loose strand of her deep black hair and twirled with around with his finger before he lovingly put it back in place and kissed Gabriella's forehead, his lips lingering on her soft skin.
When he pulled back, he gazed at her, lovingly, and held her hand. "I know it's real. But honestly I can't believe my wish came true. I can't believe you're finally mine, all mine. I've been making that wish since the day I've met you that you'd become mine. And I can't believe it actually can true." He said.
"Why is it so hard to believe?" She asked him, with a gentle smile, and stroked his sweat-damp chestnut dark brown hair.
"Well isn't it obvious, Gabriella? I mean, you're an absolute angel, a beautiful, perfect angel. And I'm just an average messed-up guy, who has issues." He told her.
Gabriella cupped his face and brought his lips to her, kissing him passionately with so much love. When she pulled back, she traced his lips with her fingers and said "That doesn't matter, Troy, and you're not messed-up. You're the most caring, kindest, sweetest, loving, and unique guy I've ever known. We're made for each other. And believe this, I am yours, all yours."
Troy smiled at her and replied "I'm more than glad about that." Their lips connected in a passionate, sizzling-hot kiss that lasted for over ten minutes that felt like hours. Eventually, they dozed off, but held each other's hands tightly with big happy grins on their faces after making incredibly amazing love.
*******************************************************************************************************************
By the time Troy woke up, it was already night-time. Midnight to be exact. He stretched out his legs and arms, feeling the soreness and tiredness in his body. But smiled, knowing what caused it in the first place: making love to the most beautiful and incredible girl in the universe. But he looked at the right side of his bed, and saw that Gabriella was gone.
"Gabriella!" He whispered. "Gabriella!" He slowly crawled out bed, wondering where his beautiful fiancé went. He then noticed something out on his porch deck. It was a glowing, bright light that nearly blinded him.
Troy shielded himself from the bright light, but came closer to it. He saw a figure standing outside the porch deck where the brightness was coming from. As he came closer to the figure, he could make out who it was. It was Gabriella, who was wearing only white bed sheets that was draping off her bare body.
What the hell is going on? Troy thought. What is Gabriella up to?
For the longest time, Gabriella was looking up at the dark night sky, with a daze expression on her face. It almost looked like she was comminuting with someone up there. Then suddenly, she slides the sheets off her bare body, threw her head, closing her eyes, and spread out her arms. Troy thought for a moment that she might be in pain, but saw that she wasn't. Troy then saw that white light was coming from Gabriella's shoulder blade; it was her angel halo and wings birthmark that was glowing the light and the light was getting more and more brighter. And then he heard something, singing. Singing that was soft and beautiful like an angel's voice. He saw Gabriella was the one singing. The singing seemed loud, yet soft, and sounded as beautiful as a siren call.
Suddenly Troy felt a cool, strong wind hovering in the breath. The wind was so strong that it nearly knocked him down his feet. He held on to something strong to keep him from falling. When he looked up at Gabriella, his mouth literally dropped to the ground and his eyes popped unbelievably wide, wider than they've ever had.
Gabriella was being lifted in the air. She was leveling in the air, standing inches up from him, and was still singing the beautiful song. The white light then formed into a line that was as fluid as water. The fluid danced around Gabriella's body until it covered her body. Then white fluid light transformed into a white gown. The gown was spaghetti-strapped with sliver and white glitter trim. Then the fluid traveled over to the top of her head. The brightness of it was top much for him too handle, but through his squeaked eyes, Troy saw the light was circling around her head, forming into a solid shape. The bright light formed a halo. Then the light traveled down to Gabriella's back, swirling and dancing around it, until suddenly two things started to grow. They were sprouting from her back, unfolding and spreading and expanding.
Troy was able to see the things through the blindness of the bright light, and could barely believe his eyes. They were wings, big and beautiful white angel white wings.
The strong winded breeze finally ended. Troy gasped as the light dimmed a bit, but was still very bright, giving him a chance to see Gabriella more clearly. And when he did, he gasped, this time couldn't believe what he was seeing. Gabriella was dressed in a beautiful, white gown; a bright white halo was circling around her head; and two big, beautiful white angel wings that were practically glowing on their own. He couldn't believe it. Gabriella was an angel! An actual, spiritual angel.
"Oh my great Jesus in the heaven." Troy breathed, more than shocked and was unable to speak.
Gabriella stopped singing her beautiful song and looked down at him, the bright light still surrounded her, but she was able to dim it a bit to get a better look. She looked surprised herself when she saw it was Troy. Slowly, she drifted down to the ground, landing perfectly on her feet and stood in front of Troy. Her long white gown was kissing the ground; the bright light was blinding and shining on her; her wings were spread out like she was about to take flight. She looked at Troy, who was too shock and stun to even speak.
"Troy," She murmured. "You won't suppose to see this."
Troy looked up and down at her, still couldn't believe hat he was seeing. Finally he found his voice, and said, but only in a mumble "Gabriella, what is all this? What's going on?"
Gabriella gently put her finger on his mouth, shushing him. She softly smiled at him, while caressing his cheek with her other hand. She then placed her finger on his forehead, the bright light gleaming off her. "Close thy eyes. Shut thy mouth. Dream of something prettier, more better than this. Hopefully while you rest, you will forget what you see. But always remember that everything is not what it seems." She murmured softly, her words sounding like an enchantment spell.
Troy then felt drowsy and his eyes felt extremely heavy, like he couldn't keep them open for another second. He looked at Gabriella through his tired eyes. "Gabriella." He muttered softly before he collapsed on the ground.
The last thing he felt was Gabriella's soft lips kissing him. She stroked his hair gently and said in a murmur "Sweet dreams, my love." Then he felt her spreading her wings and flying up to the dark sky, vanishing into the night.
