SORRY FOR SPELLING
How much longer could i possible keep this for? How much longer could i lie to Troy about everything...
Surely, he would find out soon. Wether i told him or not...I just wanted to grasp onto the happiness Troy gave me and never let it go. I had never felt this way and it was amazing. The only thing that could of completed it would have been Troy loving the 16 year old me and not the 19 year old fake me.
You know how yesterday when meeting Troys parents i said was nervous? and even more nervous about meeting the rest of his family?
Well im not nervous anymore..Im borderlining going insane. Literally, i was freaking out. Especially when it came to looking older, it took me forever Saturday morning to rummage through my luggage bag and find the most suitable outfit while Troy lay sound asleep. I could tell from the light coming through Troys bedroom curtains that it was sunny, so i decided on a fairly summery outfit - A cutwork tiered dress and White shorts with flower flat sandals and sprinkled diamante sunglasses. Once i was ready - Outfit, Hair and Makeup done - I sat down on the bed next to Troy. I sighed as I watched him sleep. He looked so peaceful and calm - Pity i had to wake him up to be honest. Gently, i shook him causing him to grumble something incoherent and shift slightly. Smiling, i leant down and planted a soft, delicate kiss onto his lips. I giggled as i went to pull away, only for Troy to wrap his arms around my waist and pull me onto him, hardening the kiss. Once seperated, I stared down at the newly awoken Troy as I found myself straddling his waist.
"How long have you been up?" He asked, stroking my arm.
"An hour or so..." I said off handedly.
"What time is it?" He wondered
"Nine." I told him.
"I better get up. I think my mom said the rest of the family are coming at ten" Troy mumbled. "By the way you look gorgeous. Very summery."
"Thank you." I said, climbing off of Troy so my feet were planted firmly on his bedroom floor.
"Babe, you go downstairs and get some breakfast alright? Im gonna get a shower and get changed" Troy said, standing up.
I nodded "Hurry up yeah? I like your parents and everything, but i only just met them and it could be a bit awkward on my own."
"Of course" He smiled before i left his bedroom and made my way downstairs - Having to remember how to get there - Seriously, that was just how big this place was...
Once i had found the kitchen, i noticed that Lucy was sat at the kitchen table along with Jack who was reading the days newspaper. "Oh Good Morning Gabriella!! Wheres Troy?" Lucy asked when she had noticed me.
"Umm he is getting a shower" I said, taking a spare seat around the table, feeling immensly awkward.
"Oh good. The rest of the family will be here soon" Jack said.
"Oh cool" I said enthusiastically
"So Gabriella? Would you like some breakfast?" Lucy asked, standing up. "We have pancakes, fruit, cereal, toast...Anything you'd like"
"Um Pancakes please, but its not a problem i can get them" I said, also standing up, only to be ushered down again.
"My dear, no! Your a guest, besides i like cooking" Lucy said moving away to make the pancakes.
"I like cooking too" I said, hoping that maybe that would gain a few brownie points with them.
"You do?" Lucy enquired "Thats brilliant, do you cook alot? Im sure you do, don't you - Living away from your parents..."
"Um no actually, i still live with my dad and little sister, Elisa. I cook them meals quite alot" I told Lucy who nodded in approval.
"And your mother?" Jack asked.
"She past away" I said.
"Oh im sorry" Jack said
"Yes, i am too" lucy agreed as she placed my pancakes downinfront of me.
"Thank You" I said, smiling as Troy entered the room, planting a kiss on my lips before greeting his parents.
"Morning Mom, Dad"
"Morning son"
"Morning Troy" Lucy greeted Troy. "Hungry?"
"Duh?" Troy grinned, sitting on a chair beside me at the table, his hand immedietely travelling to my thigh, massaging it gently.
"Here, im guessing you want pancakes" Lucy smirked, dropping some pancakes onto a plate infront of Troy.
"You know me too well" He grinned, taking his hand away from my thigh so he could eat his food.
We all sat in comfortable conversation for awhile, while Troy and I finished our breakfast. No sooner had we finished, the doorbell rang. Suddenly, all the relaxation in my body was completely gone. They were here - Troys family. Oh god!
"Thats them!" Lucy exclaimed, leaping up from the table and putting the coffee she had been drinking down. She rushed out of the room, Jack following while i turned to Troy. "Troy.." I began. I think he knew straight away what i was worried about and immedietely sought to squash it.
"Babe, they will love you ok. Just relax and be the Gabriella I know and Love" Troy said, standing up and taking my hand as we heard 'Wheres my Grandson?' come from the distance.
As we walked out of the kitchen, i couldn't help but toy with the words Troy had said 'The Gabriella I know and love'..He didn't really know me. This just reminded me of the fact he didn't love me properly.
We walked into the 'Foyer' i guess you could call it, where everyone was gathered. I found my self, re-coiling behind Troy who had reluctantly let go of my hand so he could greet the rest of his family that had called his name when they had spotted him. Once he had greeted his family he turned to me, taking my hand once again before stepping forward with me. "Everyone this is Gabriella Montez, My girlfriend" He said "Gabriella, these are my grandparents" He said, indicating to two fairly young looking grandparents as far as grandparents go - Obviously from Lucy's side of the family.
"Oh Gabriella it's lovely to meet you. Call me Sandra" Troys Grandma said, pulling me into a friendly hug. I smiled.
"And call me Robert" Troys grandad introduced himself.
I nodded "Nice to meet you"
"Gabriella, this is my Aunt Mel, Uncle Dan and my cousins - Matt, Laura and Nicole" Troy introduced us.
I greeted everyone before saying "Nice to meet you all"
"So your the girl my nephew has fallen so hard for" Mel said, causing a blush to rise on Troys face before he wrapped his arm around my waist, holding me close.
"Aww" Sandra cooed.
Both Troy and I blushed now at the awkward moment where everyone was staring at us.
"Hey, Aunt Lucy can we go in the pool?" Laura asked, saving the moment.
"Sure, i think everyone should get their bathing suits on and we all go catch up at the pool" Lucy smiled "Mom, Dad, you know the room where you will be staying. Mel and Dan your next door to mine and Jacks Room, Matt you have your own room and Laura and Nicole your sharing."
Everyone nodded before dispersing, going to settle in and get their bathing suits on.
"See Babe, they like you" Troy said as we entered his bedroom a few moments later.
"Troy, i only just met them. I haven't really spoken to them" I said, landing on his bed while he rummaged through some drawers looking for his bathing suit.
"You will get along fine with them. Besides, i'll be there. Don't worry Gabriella, my family aren't part of the mafia or anything"
I giggled, before going over to my luggage bag and rummaging through it for my bikini. "I wasn't saying that. Its just a big deal you know, i want them to like me"
"And they will. Relax." Troy said
I nodded, before grabbing my suit and walking into the bathroom to get changed.
Soon, i left the bathroom, dressed in my white wrapped buckle bikini to see Troy sitting on the bed dressed in some swimming trunks, showing off his gorgeously tanned body. I sighed, catching his attention. He looked over at me, his jaw falling dangerously low. "Wow" Was all he said.
I began to feel nervous. "Should i change...I brought a one piece." I said
"Hell no. C'mere" He said, ushering me over. I walked briskly over, giggling as Troy pulled me on his waist, me straddling it, our bodies extremely close as he was still sitting up. "Did i ever tell you just how fuckin gorgeous you look?" I giggled at his bluntness.
"Once or twice, but once more never hurts." I murmured against his lips before kissing him.
Once we pulled away, i climbed off of Troy and walked over to my luggage bag, sifting through it before pulling out an embroidered white cotton, v-neck coverup and White hitched chiffon skirt. I pulled them on over my bikini, noticing Troys confused look. "It just make me feel a bit more comfortable"
Troy still look confused but didn't question it - Instead, he stood up and walked over to me, holding a hand out for me to take. "Lets go. I want to parade you around and have people comment on what a catch you are"
I giggled as i picked up my sunglasses and cell and we left the bedroom "I very much doubt they will say that"
"Don't underestimate yourself Brie" He said as we reached the garden. The garden in itself was pretty impressive with a pool and basketball court.
"The garden is huge Troy" I commented as we walked towards the pool, hand in hand, noticing that everyone else was already out - Either lounging by the pool or in it, itself.
"Yeah, my parents did alright for themselves." Troy agreed.
"Oh Troy! Gabriella! There you are!" Lucy exclaimed, causing everyones attention to turn to us. "Your father is going to start the barbeque soon, thought we would make an afternoon out of it. That ok with you two?"
Troy led me over to a free sun lounger, taking a seat and pulling me onto his lap. "Absolutely fine" we both said together.
I glanced at the clear blue water in the pool, noticing a very exciteable Nicole playing with her 2 elder siblings, Matt and Laura. I hadn't really spoken to them. Well, i hadn't really spoken to anyone but they did seem very shy for some reason. I noticed Troys dad, grandad and uncle faffing about with a rather large barbeque, trying extremely hard on lighting it.
"So Gabriella, Lucy was just telling us about you. Your on a gap year correct?" Mel asked from her sun lounger which was beside mine and Troys.
"Yeah" I smiled before adding "Thought i'd live my life for awhile"
"So, How old are you Gabriella?" Sandra asked from her sun lounger - 3 spaces down.
Great! The BIG question. Heck, the BIG LIE!!
"Nineteen" I replied, almost instantly with all the confidence i could muster.
"Oh, so not too far behind Troy"
"Not really" I said, smiling as Troy ran his hand up and down my arm - Giving me the feeling that i was doing well - Like a confidence boost.
"Troy! You coming in man?" Came a voice. We turned to see it was Matt calling from the pool.
"I don't know, give me a sec" Troy called back before looking at me "Coming in?"
"Ummm..." I wondered.
Go in the pool and have some fun...Or carry on being interrogated by Troys family. Not brain surgery.
"Sure" I conceided, standing up and allowing Troy up. Quickly, i shred the clothes i was wearing till i was left with just my bikini. Both Troy and I walked to the side of the pull before jumping in; Together.
Troy and I spent the next hour or so in the pool, playing games and just generally mucking about with his cousins. I had to admit, in the small time in the pool i had bonded well with Troys cousins. Joking around with them and having a blast. Seriously, i felt soo comfortable it was unreal. Troys mom and Aunt had even joined us for awhile before deciding they would get out and go back in the pool later.
"Guys come on, the food will be done soon - Everybody out" Lucy called out to us. I instantly heard Laura and Nicole groan in protest "Nope, no moaning - Out now, you can go in after food."
"Thankyou" I said as Troy helped me out of the pool and wrapped a towel around me, before rubbing my sides to warm me up. After drying off i pulled on my skirt and top again before sitting on Troys lap while i watched Nicole, Laura and Matt beging to dry off.
I jumped as i heard my cell begin to ring. "Sorry" I said before picking it up and glancing at the caller ID - Taylor. I answered quickly.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey Gabs! Hows it going?"
I smiled at Troy briefly before answering "Good, really good"
"And no problem with the age thing?"
"No." I replied simply. "My dad hasn't called or anything right?"
"No, everythings fine - I got your back." Taylor reminded me "Well i just wanted to check everything was ok. I'll go and let you carry on. Bye Gabi"
"Bye hun" I said before hanging up.
"Taylor?" Troy asked.
I nodded "Yeah, she was just checking up on me"
"Ok cool. Babe i'm going to get something to eat. Want anything?"
"No i'm really not hungry" I said standing up so Troy could get up.
"Ok" He said before pecking me on the lips and walking over to where his dad was serving the food. I sat back down on the sun lounger happily.
"Mind if i sit with you?" A voice came - Matts.
I smiled up at him before saying "Not at all" I shifted my legs slightly so there was space.
"Thanks" He sat down.
"So Matt, is that short for Matthew or something?" I enquired.
"Yeah unfortunately. I really don't like the name Matthew - Matt is much better" Matt replied "So your nineteen?"
"Yep" I told him cooly. "And your...seventeen yeah?"
Matt nodded. "Eighteen soon. Thank god"
I giggled.
"I don't know why but i feel like i recognize you from somewhere?"
I literally felt the colour drain from my face. Fuck! He cant be serious.
"Really? Where?" I asked cooly.
"East High. At one of the basketball games.." He said
"Basketball Games? Not me. Troys basketball game was the first one i went to...what were you doin at East High?"
"My Basketball team was playing East High."
"Oh and did you win or lose?" I asked trying my hardest to change the subject - Even a little bit.
"Lost. East High is very good when it comes to Basketball and sports." Matt said sadly. "Anyway, i guess it couldn't have been you"
"I guess so" I breathed a sigh of relief.
Silence
"I can't believe Troy actually has a girlfriend. You must be something special"
"Thank You"
"No problem" Matt smiled - I had to admit, he reminded me sooo much of Troy when he smiled.
"So have you got a girlfriend?" i asked seriously thankful we were off the subject of him 'seeing me'.
"Yeah she is called Cassie. Shes 17 too"
"Oh Cool. I bet shes very pretty"
"Yeah, she is."
"Matt, are you trying to Chat up my girlfriend?" Troy asked with a smirk, looming over us.
"Nah man, just having a friendly chat. Right Gabs?" Matt grinned, standing up.
"Of course" I agreed.
"Troy..." I giggled "Troy...Troy stop.!!" I gasped as we fell through the doorway into Troys bedroom. Troy kicking the door shut in the process. He was attacking my neck with kisses while running his hands over my body. "We only have 2 hours till we go out for dinner!" I exclaimed as he gently pushed me on the bed, leaning over me and capturing my lips in a kiss. "I dont care...2 hours is enough"
I knew what he was on about - Boys and their one track mind sometimes.
"I know but i promised Laura and Nicole i would do their hairs for them!" I breathed as he pulled my top over my head to expose my white bikini top.
"You will have plenty of time" Troy mumbled against my bare skin, planting butterfly kisses along any of it he could find.
"Your family though Troy...Th, The, they might hear" I tried to push Troy off of me but was unsuccesful.
"Don't worry, you will just have to keep your screams to a minimum." He smirked as i hit him.
"I do NOT scream" I protested.
Troy chuckled "Babe you really do, but its all good. It turns me on even more if that's possible." He groaned, attacking my neck once again. This time though, i placed me hands on Troys chest and within one swift heave, i pushed Troy off of me.
"Not now, later."
Troy groaned "Brie..."
"No, Dont Brie me..." I said "I don't want to get caught Troy. I promise...Later ok? I'll make it worth your while."
"Promise?" Troy grinned wickedly.
"Promise" I said before standing up. "Where are we going tonight anyway?"
"Some fancy restaurant or something" Troy shrugged.
"So i have to dress up?" I asked
"Well i prefer you dressed down to be honest. Scratch that, i prefer you not dressed at all."
I rolled my eyes "Boys!"
"So how did you two meet then?" Troys uncle, Dan asked as we all sat around a very large table at a very fancy restaurant, having just finished our meal. This was all too surreal for me. I had to admit, i would never ever of expected me to be sitting around a table, with my 21 year old boyfriends family and my boyfriend himself who, sitting next to me, was trying very, very hard to distract me from the conversation travelling around the table.
"At a party" Troy supplied, smirking secretly as he rested his hand onto my barely covered thigh. Tonight, i decided on a wearing a dress - Which was very rare as i didn't really like wearing dresses all that much. It was a greyish/silverish, thigh length pleated strap dress; that i wore along with some matching silver strappy high heel sandals and a cream shrug.
"Party? Troy what parties do you go to?" Lucy asked, alarmed. Naiive much?
"Umm College parties mom." Troy said matter of factly, grinning wickedly as i grabbed hold of his hand which was travelling dangerously fast up my thigh, my dress riding up in the process under the table. I pulled it down and recovered just in time for the next question. It literally seemed like this conversation was becoming rapidly all about Troy and I.
"I refuse to believe that" Lucy smiled jokingly before reaching forward and picking up her wine glass and bringing it to her lips.
"So was it one of those corny, love at first sight things?" Laura asked.
I smiled at her before glancing wonderingly at Troy - Deciding i wasn't going to put myself in a awkward position, trying to answer it.
Troy rolled his eyes at my quietness before looking over at Laura "Depends if you believe in that kind of stuff"
"I do believe in it. My Boyfriend and I are in love" Laura said randomly causing me to giggle quietly as Dan nearly spat out his drink at his daughters daunting words.
"Boyfriend? Love?" Dan spluttered
"Nothing Dan, don't worry" Mel laughed.
The conversation continued on but Troy and I didn't join in unless asked a question. Instead, it was like we were in our own little world. Speaking through looks and facial expressions. "Love you" Troy mouthed to me at one point, slipping his hand into mine under the table. I knew he loved me...It was just so perfect that moment. Not even my lies could of brought it back down to reality for me. - I just couldn't help but get lost in it for a moment.
I smiled before gripping his hand slightly more tightly. "I love you too" I mouthed back as Troy released my hand before pulling my chair closer to his so they were basically joined and wrapping his arm around me. I rested my head on Troys shoulder as i reached forward and took a sip of the wine i had been drinking. (Seemed no one in Troys family really cared about drinking as long as you are above the age of 18 instead of 21) To be honest, i was feeling kind of tipsy but i liked it. I cuddled the warm body of Troy - As if grasping at the warmth - It was in-toxicating. I felt Troys chin rest on my head, his breath moving my hair lightly.
"Aww you look so cute together!" Troys Grandmother - Sandra cooed upon noticing us.
"And so in love" Mel added
I smiled at them both because of how true it was. I was in love with Troy and i was pretty sure he was in love with 'me'...and then, for a second i found myself thinking - Maybe i could tell him? Maybe i could tell Troy my real age and our love would conquer everything? Maybe i should take the chance?
Maybe...
Ok please read ALL of this, i have a few things to talk about.
1) I know i haven't updated in 3 or so days when i said i would when i had recieved 20 reviews. Which reminds me, thankyou! You guys out did yourself :P (Don't be afraid to do that again) Anyway, i'm really really disappointed with this chapter and i have to admit i had ALOT of Trouble writing this - Im not sure why, but i just couldn't pick it up. I hope this is ok...Sorry if it isn't. - No Haters.
2) I am a little bit upset everyone. I found today that someone had written a similar story to mine. Called 'Collage Student' (Spells College Wrong) well.. Heres the summary and tell me what u think: Gabriella and Sharpay go to a collage party were gabriella meets troy a collage student meets gabriella montez a high school student. They fall for eachother but Gabriella lies about her age and she has to keep lying. But what happens when troy finds out? - Now, im sorry but that 'idea' is a bit similar. Granted, the author has changed a few bits and customized it but still, there are similarities and it seems unfair and im not the only one to pick up on it.
Now, if ANYONE likes my ideas or wants to do something similar or use parts of my writing. PLEASE contact me and maybe we can sort something out. I know, your thinking 'Why make such a big deal' but It hurts to see someone is crediting my idea and my ideas/writing for the story. :( ...
