I walked swiftly down the road towards the corner. The one corner that was preventing me from seeing Troy. I was already 15 minutes later due to my clothing chrisis, the huge interrogation from my father and Taylor telling me every little detail of her date. From what i could gather from the jumble of words was that - It went well.
My father was being a complete...ergh there isnt even a word to describe him - He was sooo annoying. Anyway my clothing chrisis was way more important as i couldn't figure out what to wear. But 2 hours and a debate wether to go with some skinny jeans or a skirt later, i was ready - Dressed in some skinny jeans and a white diamante popper vest with a cream half jacket and some soft leather toe post sandals.
I heard my cell begin to ring as i neared the corner to his road, i swiftly answered it seeing it was Troy. "I'm sooo sorry i'm late" I apologized
"And good morning to you too" He said silkily. "How far away are you? You sound out of breath?"
"I'm in a rush because i'm late. I'm now coming around the corner to your road" I said as i turned the corner.
And there he was, cell to his ear and waving to me. I giggled and waved back before hanging up my cell by flipping the lid closed. I finished the few more steps before i reached Troy. "Hey" I said, but the sound never left my mouth because his lips were on mine and then gone again before i even had time to register the baby brush of his kiss.
He smiled at me.
"So, i'm dieing to see this big surprise?" I told him, anticipation evident in my voice.
Then i gasped, watching as Troy stepped to the side to reveal an amazing looking car that i hadn't realised before. "Is this yours?"
"Yeah, my parents bought me it. Its a Audi A8. Really nice huh?" Troy smirked.
"Yeah completely. I can't believe its yours." I smiled brightly at him. It really was a nice car.
"Well believe it and want to know the best thing?" Troy wondered.
"Hmmm?"
"I'm gonna take you out for a drive in it" He said while walking to the passengers seat and opening the door, indicating like a gentlemen that, that seat was for me. I walked over and slid into the car, careful not to do anything to the car to damage it in anyway. I really felt scared to touch it because i knew if this was my car that i had been given i wouldn't of wanted anyone to do anything to it.
Troy joined me in the car and looking over at me. "You look really...beautiful Gabi" Troy said, the sincerity in his eyes.
"Thankyou" I breathed.
"So where to?" He asked after a moments silence.
"Surprise me?" I ventured with a smirk.
After a extremely comfortable 30 minute drive Toy pulled up at a cliff that stood proudly above a beach.
"The beach?" I asked, standing near the edge of the cliff and looking down, feeling as Troys hand slipped into mine and he pulled me away from the cliff edge. "Careful" He warned softly "I want you in one piece. And yes the beach, come on"
I allowed Troy to keep hold of my hand and lead my down some steep steps to the beach. When we reached the sand i found myself pulling off my sandals and clutching them in my hand before stepping foot onto the soft, warm grains.
"I'm sorry i took so long to call you this week. I was going to let you know i was going to my parents before i actually went but things got a bit crazy..." He began, causing me to give him a questioning look. "...I left packing till the last minute" He finished now causing me to giggle.
I tensed slightly before relaxing as i felt Troys arm wrap around my waist as we continued to walk along the sand, moving closer to the waters edge.
"Predictable. But don't worry, it's ok" I told him, kicking the sand swiftly as we continued our trek.
"So, something has really been bothering me" Troy admitted.
"Whats that?" I wondered.
"Last weekend, when we...You know." He said suggestively causing heat to rise up into my cheeks. "Had sex, you didn't tell me wether you regretted it or not."
Now, when i tensed up, i didn't relax. I couldn't. I hadn't really thought about the regretting part THAT much to be honest although i was fully aware it had been sitting dully in the back of my head but i just wanted ignore it.
I sighed "I don't know"
"You don't know?" Troy asked strangely.
"Im confused Troy, alot has happened recently and my feelings are a little mixed"
"Ok i understand. But i just want to know, where we stand on everything..." Troy said softly.
I felt a pang of guilt - To be honest wether i regretted it or not. It was done and i had to admitt i was thankful it had been with Troy. There was just something about him. Something special.
"I don't regret it" I said firmly, Troy stopping his feet and turning to me at my words.
"Are you sure?" He wondered
"Yeah i mean, i just realised...Its done and i'm glad it was with you. Thankyou Troy" I said truthfully.
I breathed in his scent deeply as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug before kissing the top of my head. I sighed blissfully.
Troy and i spent the next couple of hours at the beach, walking along the gold sands, sometimes going near the water or sitting down - Talking about our lives and plans for the future etc. I was really enjoying myself and by the look of Troy and how he laughed - He was to. I felt soo comfortable around around him. It was incredible.
"So do you have any brothers or sisters?" Troy asked, stretching his legs out infront of him as we both sat on the sand.
"Uh yeah one little sister" I replied, bringing my knees up to my chest and wrapping my arms around them comfortably.
"Name? Age?"
"Elisa or Lisa for short and she is ten years old" I told him matter-of-factly "What about you? Any siblings?"
"Nahh...Although theres still a chance" Troy smiled slightly.
"Hmm?" I asked confusedly.
"My mom had me when she and my dad were in high school so they aren't all that old to be honest." Troy said
"Oh thats cool, did she or your dad go to college or anything?"
Troy shook his head sadly before replying "No. My parents gave up a hell of alot for me. My dad was going to go play college basketball on a scholarship. He was awesome at basketball, but with me on the way, him and my mom were struggling for money so my dad had to drop college and get a job."
"Wow" Was all i could say.
"Yeah, i feel bad sometimes though because its like, i see my dad watching me play basketball and i think he just realises what he missed out on."
"Look what became of it though. A rather sexy looking son" I winked flirtaciously at him causing Troy to chuckle.
"Thanks, but anyway, i know my dad would want me to pursue basketball and i enjoy it so it all works out." Troy shrugged
"What does your dad do for a job?"
"He worked at East High for awhile but now he has gone into partnership with a friend of his and runs a nearby gym and sports chain - Hence the amount of money he has now"
"Lucky."
"What about your parents? You haven't mentioned your mom..."
"Ah well...thats probably because she died when i was 13" I replied, looking away from Troy for a moment and instead at beautiful ocean. I felt a hand move to my chin and hold it before gently pulling it around so i came face to face with Troy. "I'm sorry" He said sincerely.
"No big deal. I still think about her alot but i have come to terms with it."
"And your dad? What does he do?"
"To be honest, i'm never quite sure. I don't really get along with him since my mom died. I think he is like a financial banker or something. That or he is just like a financial wanker" I giggled, joking.
After our laughing had died down, we sat in silence for awhile just enjoying the moment until Troy spoke. "I don't know why or how but i think i'm really falling for you Gabriella"
I turned to him, his features glowing in the soft calming sun. He looked absolutely amazing. "I think im falling for you too."
Then, Troy reached over and pulled me onto his lap and began to kiss me. It was a kiss that was gentle at first, our lips just moving carressingly against each others - No tongues or battles for dominance. Well, that was until it became deeper and more and more passionate, becoming a kiss that could inevitebly only end in one way. I found myself pushing my hand against Troys chest, pushing him back onto the sand before straddling him, my legs either side of his hips. I looked down at him, he was smiling, his eyes having changed from a shining bright blue to a deeper blue - Full of lust and want.
Troys hands went to my waist, holding them in place as i bent down and captured his lips in a hot kiss. We must have been like that for 10 minutes before i felt Troy begin to slide his hand under my top towards my breasts. It was then that i pulled away while Troy looked at me with slight hurt and confusion.
"Not here. Lets go back to yours" That was all i had to say for Troy lift my hips allowing me to get up and then for him to piggyback me up the steps of the cliff to his car.
As soon as we got into the door of his apartement, he was tugging me across the living room towards his room - Not caring that we had an audience. "Troy, remember protection" Troys best friend Chad who was laying on the sofa joked.
"Troy you might need to check her I.D because you never know"
I didn't see Sharpay however because Troy was still pulling me towards his room while he shouted "Piss off Shar."
"Why does she" I took a breath from the kissing "Have a problem with me?"
"Don't worry about her, she can be a right bitch." He murmurerd against my lips "Now come here." He purred, kicking open the door to his bedroom and pulling me in before kicking the door shut again.
"I'm not going anywhere" I told him as he pushed me up against the wall and mumbled "Good" before kissing me.
And then i didn't have to think about anything anymore. It was all feeling. So i just became this temple of different feelings: the scrape of Troys teeth dragging against my bottom lip, his warms hands on my skin, the edge of his bed hitting the back of my knees as he danced me across the room and then the curious, clumsy grace of it. Of how it turns you inside out and back to front so you say things that you think you'd never ever say and your body twists into shapes that shouldn't be possible and your eyes are screwed tight shut...
"Hey, Hey Gabriella" He said to me in a voice that was impossibly tender "C'mon open your eyes"
I peeled my eyelids back and stared blearily up at him as he leant forward and kissed me, sweetly, softly like i wasn't a girl who had just done what i did but as if i was someone he walked home from school everyday and never let him get past first base.
"Hold me" Was all that i breathed out - and he was already holding me but he wriggled one hand free so he could brush that hair back from my sweaty face and then it was just too much effort to keep my eyes open.
When i woke up he was still holding me, dotting kisses along my neck. I lay there for a minute or two, wondering why i wasn't freaking out about being naked in bed with someone equally naked pressed against me.
"I know your awake" He rumbled in my ear "Your breathing isn't as deep"
I stretched out my legs, which were previously tangled with his "Whats the time?"
"Don't worry, it's not even eight"
I sighed a little because really, it was soo nice and i could have just gone back to sleep and stayed there till morning, apart from the fact i really needed a drink.
"Don't even have to be back till eleven, maybe twelve at a push" I mused "It is saturday night."
"Wish you could stay" he said, tracing a line down my spine with his finger. I giggled because it tickled before i rolled on my back, dragging the duvet up and clamping them under my arms. "I might...I guess i could phone home and see if it would be alright" I said hesitantly in case he had just said it to be polite.
But Troy was nodding his head "Its not like you have to say what your really up to"
"On one condition" I smiled as his eyebrows were already shooting up in expectation of whatever he thought i was going to say. "Make me some coffee?"
The second he was out of the room after pulling on some jeans and mumbling something about 'me taking him for granted' in a joking way, i leaped up and grabbed something t-shirty and pulled it on before sitting back onto the bed waiting for Troy to return.
By the time Troy shouldered open the door with two steaming hot coffee's in his hand, i was perched on the bed, my phone to my ear and the sound of dialing ringing through my ears. "Hey it's me" I said when my dad had answered. "How are you?" Then i winced because now he would be suspicious. I never really asked how he was.
"I'm fine, Gabriella" He said "And how are you"
"I'm ok"
Troy set the a coffee down on the nightstand next to me and hovered awkwardly. I made fluttery gestures with my hand to let him know it was all right and then i realized that my dad wasn't speaking.
"So, Anyway, i'm at Taylors and i was thinking about staying the night." I lied guility, i felt bad because i was breaking everyone of his rules.
"Really? You want to sleepover"
"Yeah, at Tays, because we just got some DVD's out and we were going to phone for pizza and it's getting late..."
"Just you and Taylor? No boys?" He asked strictly.
I rolled my eyes at Troy who was smirking having obviously heard what my dad was saying. "Well apart from the stripper we have booked? Not really.."
"What?" He spluttered
"I'm joking dad, but seriously, no there will be no guys. I wouldn't dream of it"
"Well, ok then. You can."
"Great, so i'll be home around noon tomorrow."
"Ok, please don't drink tonight Gabriella. I'm trusting you"
"You got it dad"
"Alright. Have a good time, bye Bella" He said before hanging up. Bella, he hadn't called me that since mom died. Not once, when before it was the only name he used for me.
"You ok?" Troy asked as he sipped his coffee.
I picked up my coffee "Yeah, it was just wierd my dad called me a name he hasn't called me in a while...Bella."
"Thats a good thing right?"
"I'm not sure" I shrugged
"So...I have you for a whole sixteen and a half hours?"
"Yeah"
"Well, Shar, Chad and some other friends are going to a club. Wanna go?"
"Or we could stay in?" I asked hopefully.
"We should go out" Troy tried, bending down and kissing my exposed knee as if it was the most natural thing in the world "It will be fun"
"One slight problem your forgetting. I'm only nineteen."
"So? You look older and the bouncers at the club know me and never check ID's anyway so problem solved. I'll just have to watch your drinking" He winked at me.
"Ergh fine, but your soo lucky my clothes look alright for going out to a club"
"Clothes? Damn, there was me hoping you would go naked"
"Eww" I giggled, pushing him away slightly in playful disgust.
He was right. He did know the bouncers and they didn't check ID's. Which was incredibly good for me. I was dressed in my clothes from earlier but i had re-done my makeup because lets face it...i had to try to look older.
I held out some money to Troy when we were in the club. "I'll by the drinks if you go get them"
He closed my fist around the money before saying "Your not working, i'll get them"
"So what? your not working either" I pointed out, standing on tiptoes so he could hear me and shoving my money back at him "Vodka and Diet coke please"
"Ok, but no getting pissed Brie" He told me before leading me over to a dingy corner in the club where i recognized Sharpay and Chad were sitting with some other friends - His arm wrapped securely around me.
"Brie, you know Sharpay and Chad...and these are Sophie, Cal, Justine and Alisia" Troy introduced me. "Everyone this is Gabriella"
I smiled at them all, before one girl known as 'Sophie' said "Hey Gabriella, i'll budge up and you can sit here" she scooched over and patted the seat invitingly. "Don't worry, Troy, most of your secrets are safe with me. Well, apart from the time you tried to snog my cat for a bet"
I smirked at Troy "Very smooth"
"Go and sit down," He said, pushing me in her direction. "I'll go get our drinks, Sophies sweet, she will look after you"
And Sophie was sweet, or else she just really knew how to fake it as she gave me a fleeting hug and pulled me down next to her.
"Hey Gabriella, enjoy yourself this afternoon with Troy?" Sharpay sneered at me.
"Hmm? Yeah it was good"
"Cool, next time - Don't be so loud" She smirked causing me to blush hard. "So truthfully Gabriella, how old are you? I didn't think Troy went for young girls like you."
"Ignore her Gabriella, Sharpay is being tested for bitchy syndrome" Sophie said soothingly.
"Oh whatever Soph. All i'm saying is if she is nineteen, im the president of the United States"
I glanced around the table to see Chad kissing Alisia and Cal talking rather closely with Justine. I let out a breath of relief as Troy returned with our drinks. He placed them on the table before taking my hand and pulling me up, before sitting down himself then pulling down onto his lap in one super quick, super swift motion.
I giggled as Sophie watched us letting out an "Awww"
As Troy, Sophie and I began to to start a conversation i couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes on me. I turned to see it was none other then Sharpay. I glanced at her before turning back and resting my head on Troys shoulder as he sipped his beer and nodded his head in agreement to what Sophie was saying. I wasn't really taking it in because all i could do was feel Sharpays eyes on me. I was getting soooo annoyed with it.
"Umm..Sharpay do you like have to keep staring at me?" I asked randomly, causing Sophies and Troys attention to turn on me.
"Staring at you. Ha! don't think too much of yourself"
"Are you mistaking me for you or something?" I snapped back
"Ergh What evs..." Sharpay said turning her attention to her drink.
I smiled pleased with myself.
"Hey Gabi? Come to the ladies room with me" Sophie said jumping up. I nodded, getting off Troys lap and walking with Sophie through the pumped, crowded club to the ladies room.
When the swinging door to the ladies room closed Sophie immedietely began to talk "Gabriella can i give you some friendly advice?"
"Sure?"
"You don't want Sharpay as your enemy, she has like...connections. And pissing her off isn't a good thing" Sophie advised.
"What is she going to do Sophie? Hire a hitman to kill me or something"
"I wouldn't put it passed her" Sophie said in a half joking, half serious kind of way. "She can be a crazy bitch. But look, theres something else you should know."
"Whats that?"
"Sharpay loves Troy"
"As in...Friend love?"
"No, i mean crushing on, totally besotted, want to be with, incredibly in love with Troy" Sophie told me quickly.
"Your kidding me" I stood there, stunned.
"No im serious Gabi, Troy knows she likes him alot but doesn't know how much she truly does, just be aware yeah? Thats all im saying" Sophie told me.
I nodded.
I was definetly going to be aware.
100 percent aware.
What you think people?!
I am still trying really hard on this story and i really like it.
