"Not yet I haven't," she whispered back huskily her eyes looking mischievously at him.
I Love You
Gabriella awoke to the feel of soft feather light lips dropping kisses on her shoulder, a firm arm around her waist and a hand that gently stroked the underside of her breast. She smiled contentedly and pushed her rear up against warm thighs satisfied when she felt a now familiar prod against her butt.
"Good morning beautiful, I'm glad you're awake," whispered Troy against her ear.
"Hmm! I wonder why," teased Gabriella softly, flipping over to lie on her back, smiling mischievously at him.
"Why, so I can do this," he kissed the left side of her mouth, "and this," then kissed the right side, his eyes crinkling with humour as he teased her until she groaned and pulled his head down to connect their lips, their tongues twirling and caressing each other. Gabriella ran her hands over his broad shoulders feeling his muscles ripple under her touch. Troy left her lips to skim over her chin to her neck, nipping and sucking until she purred deep in her throat, satisfied with her reaction he carried on down her body capturing a hard nub in his mouth, his tongue flicking it and sucking before he did the same to the other nipple. Gabriella writhed beneath him her hips deliberately brushing against his hard cock arousing both of them as she felt wetness between her legs, and him as he too groaned.
"Troy, I need to feel you in me now," she pleaded as he lifted his head to gaze into her passion filled eyes, his own darkening in response. He leant over, opened the top drawer in the bedside table and produced a foil packet seconds later, quickly ripping it to remove the latex sheath inside and quickly slid it onto his hardened shaft. He turned back to Gabriella and positioned himself above her pausing as the tip of his penis stroked her vulva, teasing her until she groaned and raised her hips forcing him into her opening. Troy pushed into her with one smooth stroke, her moist walls sucking him in deeply as Gabriella entwined her legs around his waist to enable deeper penetration. H e moved in and out his rhythm long and slow as he tried to prolong his ejaculation for as long as possible, his lips found her breast and sucked on her nipple as she raised her hips to meet his thrusts.
"Faster…Troy, I want it…faster," ordered Gabriella through broken gasps her fingers digging into his shoulder blades as she neared her climax, crying out as the waves of passion washed over her and she trembled against him. Troy felt her walls squeeze his penis making him thrust harder to reach his own release. He held her as they slipped over the edge, waiting for their erratic breathing to slowly ease. He slid off her body and gathered her close kissing her lips gently as they snuggled into each other.
"You realise I'm your love slave don't you," murmured Troy making her giggle against him.
"Hmm! I like the sound of that," purred Gabriella as she stroked his butt, "I must make sure I have you on speed dial."
"Hey, now you make me sound like a pizza," he pretended hurt. Gabriella giggled again.
"Yea but your topping is special," she promised leaning in to kiss him forcing her tongue between his lips. A knock on the door broke them apart.
"Gabi, Caroline is on the phone," shouted Taylor through the door making her jump from the bed and quickly throw on her robe fastening the sash tight before walking out of the room.
"Good morning Caro, how are you?" greeted Gabriella after picking up the receiver.
"Morning Gabi, sorry to wake you up but I couldn't wait any longer. I've had a lot of calls to deal with this morning about you. Are you sitting down?"
"No, should I be," queried Gabriella with a frown.
"Maybe when I tell you Good Morning America want you on their show and Jay Leno has asked for an interview," announced Caroline excitement lacing her voice. She listened to Caro her face showing shock then excitement as she took in what Caro was saying.
"That's…wow…I can't believe it," gasped Gabriella hopping from one foot to the other, "when?" Taylor and Chad looking the worse for wear sniggered at her actions as Troy walked into the room in a pair of basketball shorts and a wife beater.
"Leno wants you as soon as possible so I've booked you for Monday night, is that okay? GMA want you Thursday so if you're agreeable, I'll book flights for New York for Wednesday, I take it you want me to come with you?" queried Caroline hope tingeing her voice.
"Yea you just want to go to Rare Vintage again," teased Gabriella with a giggle.
"Well there is that," agreed Caroline with a laugh.
"Okay, they both sound doable. So go ahead and I'll speak to you later," confirmed Gabriella before hanging up the phone, turning and beaming at her waiting audience.
"Guess what?" she squealed her eyes sparkling," Leno wants me on his show on Monday and Good Morning America want me on Thursday." Taylor screamed and ran over to her hugging her as they jumped up and down together. Chad and Troy looked at each other and rolled their eyes, they'd been there and done that already.
"Wow! Gabi that's fantastic, you've finally arrived," exclaimed Taylor beaming from ear to ear. Troy walked over to Gabi to hug and kiss her.
"Congratulations, you've worked really hard for this, you so deserve all the recognition," he said smiling into her eyes, "I'm so proud of you."
"Yeah, congratulations Gabi," added Chad as he too came over to hug her.
"Thanks, I still can't believe it," said Gabriella in awe.
"Believe it girl," confirmed Taylor, "Like Troy said you've worked hard for it so enjoy it. In fact this calls for a celebration, have we got any champagne?" Chad groaned and paled at the very thought.
"Uh Tay, can I have a black coffee instead," he muttered making the other three laugh at his delicate state.
"Nah Tay, what you really need is a blend of carrot, banana, tomato, a shot of vodka, a splash of Tabasco sauce and a drop of milk, isn't that right Chad?" Troy reeled off the ingredients with a smirk, as Chad turned green and fled to the bathroom. Taylor looked bewildered and screwed her face up as Gabriella giggled.
"Eww! That sounds disgusting," exclaimed Taylor.
"It is, believe me it is," agreed Troy with a chuckle, "and funnily enough it had the same effect on me but I'd drank some first." Taylor and Gabriella laughed at Troy's disgusted expression. The phone rang out and Gabriella being the nearest picked it up.
"555 78989," she recited into the mouthpiece.
"Hi Gabriella, it's Kelsi."
"Hey Kelsi, did you enjoy yourself last night?" asked Gabriella perkily.
"Not as much as you I bet," replied Kelsi her tone a bit off.
"What's the matter Kels?" queried Gabriella worriedly looking at Taylor. Taylor rolled her eyes then placed a hand against her throat and sliced across with her hand.
"It seems Ryan thought I'd been keeping a secret from him," Kelsi said stiffly.
"Oh!" uttered Gabriella switched from looking at Taylor to Troy.
"So it's true?" questioned Kelsi.
"Yeah, it's true," confirmed Gabriella with a sigh.
"Does Taylor know?" asked Kelsi.
"Yea, she found out recently," informed Gabriella, "but I made her swear not to tell anyone."
"Yeah, well she kept that promise," sighed Kelsi, "I'm upset that you didn't tell me Gabi."
"I'm sorry Kelsi but we haven't told anyone, not even Mom knows yet," Gabriella said earnestly.
"Is it serious?" Kelsi asked making Gabriella look at Troy again as he looked back at her trying to guess the other side of the conversation.
"Yeah I think it is," Gabriella smiled at Troy and he returned her smile walking over to rub her shoulders as Taylor smiled leaving the two alone.
"Well I'm really happy for you Gabs, he seems like a nice guy," replied Kelsi her tone lighter as she spoke.
"Thanks Kelsi, he is. You'll never guess but I'm going on the Jay Leno show on Monday, Caroline just called to inform me," revealed Gabriella wanting to tell Kelsi her good news as she leaned back against Troy.
"You're going on Leno," squealed Kelsi, "Oh my god Gabi, how exciting is that. I'm really happy for you and I'll make sure I'm watching." Kelsi promised.
"Thanks Kelsi, we must get together soon," suggested Gabriella.
"It's a date. I'll speak to you soon Gabi and I am really happy for you," reiterated Kelsi before hanging up. Gabriella sighed as she put the phone down turning to wrap her arms around Troy's waist and hug him tight, resting her head against his chest.
"I guess she knows?" asked Troy as Gabriella looked up at him and nodded.
"Yeah she does. Apparently Ryan thought she knew so he mentioned us to her. She's a bit upset I didn't tell her but she seemed okay with it by the end of the call, she's happy for us," informed Gabriella. Troy bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Another bridge crumbles," commented Troy as Gabriella sighed.
"I guess it's time you met Mom. I don't want her to find out from anyone else," said Gabriella resignedly.
"I'm looking forward to it Gabi and then you must come and meet my folks. Mom is eager to meet you she hounds me every time I speak to her," Troy rolled his eyes and Gabriella giggled.
"Aw! Poor Troy," teased Gabriella, squealing when Troy grabbed her by the waist, lifting her up and over his shoulder carrying her back to their bedroom in a fireman's lift.
The rest of the weekend had been hectic as Troy had to get ready for the penultimate home game on Sunday and although he tried, Gabriella still refused to go and watch him more conscious than ever of getting caught out by the press especially with the interview on Monday. All she needed was her relationship to become public knowledge and the focus would be on her personal rather than her professional life and that she did not want at all.
The interview with Jay Leno had gone really well and Gabriella even sang 'Falling' on the show to a rousing applause from the studio audience. Troy had stayed back at the apartment with Taylor and Chad, and even Kelsi had come round with Ryan after Taylor had called to invite her for the impromptu TV party with beer and pizza on the menu. Gabriella walked through the door to another round of applause from the assembled crowd her face beaming with her success as they hugged her one by one.
"You looked fantastic," gushed Taylor, "and Troy's recorded it so you can watch it tomorrow." Gabriella looked at Troy blushing slightly, it still felt odd to show her feelings openly in front of people who knew her, holding back when all she wanted to do was kiss him.
"Hey you better have left me some pizza, all this celebrity stuff makes a girl hungry you know," she teased breaking eye contact and noting the boxes lying on the coffee table.
"I think there's a crust left somewhere," commented Chad with a chuckle. Gabriella frowned and hit him playfully on the arm.
"There better be more than that, this girl is famished," she moaned. Taylor smirked and walked into the kitchen to get the one that she'd hidden from Chad earlier.
"Taylor, you're a life saver," Gabriella said when she appeared with the box. Chad's eyes lit up and made a move to take it from Taylor.
"Do you want to die?" warned Taylor with a frown as Gabriella, Kelsi, Ryan and Troy burst out laughing, "make yourself useful and get the bubbly out of the cooler," she ordered Chad. He walked off grumbling, "he was whipped" under his breath as the others chuckled. Gabriella walked over to Ryan.
"Thanks for what you did on Friday night," she said, "Troy would have done something reckless."
"No problem Gabi, it was lucky I figured out the situation when I did," replied Ryan, "so how long have you two been together?"
"A while," answered Gabriella softly, "I'm sorry I didn't say anything but you know how I feel about my private life." Ryan smiled at her.
"Indeed I do and I can't say I blame you. We've both been a target of those damn locusts, I just hope you're ready for the onslaught when they do find out," said Ryan in agreement.
"Does that include Sharpay?" asked Gabriella with a smile.
"Er no, that's another story entirely," he laughed, "and I value my life too much to tell her, I'll leave that to you two." Troy walking over heard the last bit and groaned as he put an arm around Gabriella's waist and pulled her back against him.
"Do we have to?" he moaned, Ryan rolled his eyes.
"That's up to you although I would advise you tell her and make it soon please, the longer you leave it the harder it will be for you if she finds out from elsewhere," warned Ryan before walking over to Kelsi. Chad appeared with the champagne and glasses, pouring each of them a glass as they toasted Gabriella.
"Do you think we should tell Sharpay?" Gabriella broached the subject when they were getting ready for bed.
"Yeah, we should," sighed Troy, "but not until we've spoken to the parents. When are we going to be able to do that?" he added glancing over to Gabriella who was just removing her skirt. Gabriella stopped and looked over at him his bare torso drawing her eyes, her mouth went dry and moisture filled her panties. "Gabi," he reminded her smirking knowing what was on her mind and it wasn't the parents.
"Sorry, got sidetracked," she apologised blushing madly. Troy walked round to her and removed the skirt from her hand, flinging it on the chair while his free hand stroked her thigh, her hands splayed across his chest as his head lowered and captured her full lips, his other hand slipped under the back of her top and caressed her back. Troy broke the kiss and skimmed to his favourite part, her neck, nuzzling her sensitive spot until she groaned. Troy pulled at the hem of her top and pulled it quickly over her head before returning his lips to her neck as Gabriella reached down to undo his pants slowly pulling down the zip until they slipped from his hips. Troy stepped out of them, kicking them away with his left foot, as his questing hands quickly disposed of her bra, her ripe breasts bouncing on their release from the confines as Troy fastened his mouth over one rosy nipple, his hand kneading the other, his thumb crossing over the nub time and time again. Gabriella steadied herself by gripping his shoulder with one hand as the other worked his boxer shorts over his hips until they too fell away to his feet, his erect penis standing proud upon release. Gabriella placed her hand round his thick stem, her thumb brushed the tip a trickle of his juices covered her thumb as she stepped away from his roving mouth and bent to take him into her mouth loving the taste of him. Troy staggered back until the edge of the bed hit the back of his legs and he plonked down hard on the mattress as Gabriella followed, her magic tongue making him groan, his member pulsed with sensation as he fought to control the urge to release his seed. Troy pulled her up flipping her until she sprawled across the bed beside him, he pinned her to the mattress with his body as he franticly searched the drawer for a condom, finding one he ripped open the foil packet and quickly smoothed the latex over his rock hard penis, he ripped off her sodden briefs and gazed down into her concupiscent eyes as he balanced himself above her.
"I love you," he whispered as he slowly plunged into her waiting core watching her eyes widen as he moved inside her stroking her walls as his rhythm increased. Gabriella clung to his shoulders her hips lifting from the bed to meet his thrusts as each one moved deeper inside her, her bones turned to liquid fire. Troy slowed the tempo pulling out as he lifted her leg onto his shoulder before sliding back into her moist depths his penetration deeper and even more satisfying for Gabriella as he hit her G-spot, pressure coiled within her as fire coursed through her body until she thought she was going to explode, she cried his name as she reached her climax, her body shuddered against him as her vagina tightened around his cock squeezing him until he exploded inside her. They held each other as their breathing returned to normal in the aftermath of their torrid lovemaking. Gabriella locked her lips on his forcing her tongue inside as they languidly paid homage to each other. Gabriella broke the contact first as she snuggled into his arms staring into his beautiful eyes.
"I love you too," she said with a radiant smile that was returned tenfold by Troy as his arms tightened around her.
Yippee! Finally they've said it.
