EPILOGUE

Troy rubbed a hand down his tummy to flatten out his smart black shirt and check his black jeans and dress shoes once more, tidying his fringe with the hand that wasn't attached to Gabi's as he let out a nervous breath.

"Troy, would you relax?" Gabi said gently as she leaned her weight onto their linked hands and leaned up to kiss his cheek as they walked up the path to her mom's house.

"It's your mom Gabi. What if she hates me?" he asked.

Gabi rolled her eyes "You've spoken to her a hundred times and she loves you already" she reminded him.

"She might not like me once she sees me" he claimed wildly.

"Troy" she said gently and stopped him at the top step of the veranda. She touched his cheek to bring his worried eyes onto her brown ones "She loves you. Like I do" she said as she leaned up and kissed his lips softly and he leaned down to kiss her some more but the door opened and someone squealed and by the time Troy had straightened, he had a smaller and curvier woman wrapped around his waist.

He lifted his arms, not sure where to place them as his eyes went wide.

"Err, Hi" he said bemusedly and Gabi giggled at the scene as he placed his hands on her mom's shoulders.

"Mom, you'll scare him" Gabi chided as she took her mom from Troy's body and Maria hugged her child then and beamed.

"I am so glad to meet you" Maria said emotionally and Troy grinned shyly, flicking at his fringe with his finger

"You too, Mrs Montez" he said awkwardly.

"It's Maria. How is my favourite son-in-law?" she asked and Gabi groaned, planting a hand on her face as she linked hands with Troy and they followed her mom into the house.

"Gabi, you are still too skinny" her mom chided as Gabi sat at the breakfast bar next to Troy and Troy leaned over to touch his forehead to hers with a gentle smile and Maria came up beside him and gripped his arm briefly between her fingers "You look alright, though" she said to him, drawing him out of his tender moment with Gabi as he smiled at Maria and chuckled at her comment.

"I have to eat a whole ton of food to stay strong" he said, pushing at his rolled up shirt sleeves nervously.

"You look perfect together" Maria smiled, and then busied herself off to fetch her camera.

"Oh mom!" Gabi moaned as she hid her face in Troy's arm and circled her hands around his large bicep. He was a little bulkier than normal due to his new film role that he was starting shooting for in a few weeks.

Her dad had pulled some strings to get him a role in an action film and Troy was preparing for the part by building up his muscle and Gabi really didn't mind too much as she felt his muscles flex under her fingers, sending a flash of desire through the pit of her stomach.

Once Maria had taken a few photos, she went about making hot drinks and handed out an array of cakes, which Troy began to tackle with gusto.

"Mmm, delicious cakes, Maria" he beamed as he popped another one in his mouth.

"Thank you, Troy." She smiled and they settled down at the table and Maria asked Troy about twenty questions before Gabi leaned her head against his arm as their hands entwined under the table and gently asked her mom to stop interrogating him.

Maria had smiled and pursed her lips, reminding Troy of when Gabi did the exact same thing and he cast an affectionate glance upon Gabi's head, kissing her hair.

"Okay I'll let you two go and have your fun" she smiled "But I'm doing dinner tonight so be sure to come back later" she said firmly.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world" Troy promised smoothly and Gabi finally led him out onto the porch, where she ran down her path and he chased after her, catching her in his arms from behind as he brought her up against his chest.

It had been two weeks since the shoot had ended and Troy was visiting his parents until his next film started, his home in California empty until he would finally make it back next week.

"When are you going to tell her?" he asked gently in her ear.

"Tell who what?" she feigned as he turned her to face him and she beamed unashamedly in his face.

"When are you going to tell your mom that you're moving out?" he asked gently and Gabi dropped her gaze to her toes as she began walking, tugging him behind her as they made their way back toward his home where they had been hanging out while he was in town.

"It's not the fact I'm moving that's stopping me from telling her" she said softly as they walked and she twisted awkwardly like a little girl with a big secret.

"It's because you're moving to Cali? To be nearer me?" he wondered.

Gabi shrugged "I just don't know how I'll cope with her questions" she admitted.

Troy twisted his mouth as he let them into his parent's house, checking around and seeing his parents weren't home.

His eyes gleamed as he led her up to his room where Gabi fell into his arms like a familiar jigsaw piecing together and he held her to him as he kissed her, claiming her lips gently, insistently as she pressed into him.

"Well it's not like we're moving in together, you'll have your own place" he said gently as her brown eyes implored with his.

"I don't want you to feel like she's butting in" she admitted softly. She might be able to cope with her mother- barely-but she didn't want to lose Troy because of her meddling.

"I don't feel like that" he assured her, hugging her. "But you know what I do feel?" he asked as he lifted an eyebrow

"What?" she asked gently, a petulant smile at her lips as she knew he was about to tease her.

"I feel like its been a REALLY long time since I had one of your awesome massages" he grinned as he lay back on the bed and flashed his bulging groin to her.

She cocked her head as she looked down on him, their fingers twining as she stood before him and she tried not to smile. "Oh you poor baby" she said sarcastically "I guess you better take off your t-shirt then and I'll find something to use as oil.

Troy coughed as she moved away and he had reached into his drawer and pulled out a bottle of massage oil which she looked at in surprise.

"You didn't!" she squealed

"I sure did" he said with a 'damn right' grin

"Fine, get naked then" she said primly, watching him strip his tight tee top off and eyeing his heavily muscled torso with a little lick of her lips.

"You gonna roll?" she enquired lightly as he remained on his back, smiling up at her as he appreciated her silently.

"Not on your life" he said and she felt her lips curl at the desire that tingled through her and she giggled as she straddled his lap, falling into a passionate embrace with him as the massage went forgotten and their desire took over.

His jeans were stripped quickly by Gabi who pulled his boxers down at the same time and she bit her lower lip as she gave him a naughty smile and eyed up his naked body, standing and stripping her own clothes as he watched, entranced, reaching for her as she undressed and climbed onto the bed.

Troy laid her beneath him and cradled her naked body in his arms, his utter devotion to her evident as he carefully and meticulously kissed her and stroked her until she was begging for him.

His lips connected with her breast and she arched as her control abandoned her and the throbbing between her thighs wouldn't abate until he connected with her.

Gabi reached for him, kissed him with a passion he didn't think possible and her hands ran over his own body like she had never touched him before and she couldn't get her hands on all of him quickly enough.

He leaned back to slow their urgency, kissing her neck softly, letting her hands climb into the hair at his neck in that way that drove him crazy.

"Troy" she begged on a soft moan and he smiled against her neck at her plea.

"Okay babe" he husked into her ear as their hands twined and he lifted them above her head.

She gave out a satisfied sigh as he shifted and scooped her thigh over his, entering her deeply as he reconnected his hand with hers above their heads and her body was stretched out beneath his, allowing him complete control and she gave it to him, writhing in pleasure as he plunged into the very core of her soul, bringing panting moans from her lips as she struggled to fight the onslaught of ecstasy.

Troy moaned as he drove into her gently yet insistently, closing his eyes upon hearing her mutter his name over and over, letting his muscled body worship hers with such deep intensity that he felt as though he would never be able to make love with anyone else.

Gabi was his woman and he hoped to god he was her man as she clenched against him inside of her, forcing him deeper as he lost his control and spilled his seed into her, his body shaking as his eyes closed tightly shut against the impact of his physical release, Gabi beneath him arching and quivering in her own orgasm.

Troy looked down into her face and sipped kisses from her lips as she slowly got her breath back.

He cuddled her once more as he shifted on the bed and lay on his side, wrapping her into his embrace.

"I can't wait until you move to LA" he husked, tightening his arms.

"Me either" she agreed "I'll be a Hollywood actor's girlfriend then, my life- long ambition" she joked drily

Troy lifted his head and considered her with his curly smile. "I am so glad I have you to keep me grounded" he teased in return.

Gabi smiled softly, a mischievous glint in her eye as she began to giggle.

"What?" he asked, bemused

"Do you remember…?" she broke off, giggling again "When I walked into your room and you thought I was a fan?" she laughed some more, her body shaking with her chuckles.

"Oh god" he closed his eyes and screwed up his face in mock pain.

"I was SO angry!" she mused now, remembering their every encounter like it was yesterday.

"And I think I fell for you right then…" he added, flicking his lashes up shyly.

Gabi pursed her lips "I hated you for ages" she maintained.

"Oh, thanks" he rolled his eyes.

"But you grew on me, slowly" she allowed, stroking his hair affectionately.

"I love you, Little Miss Montez" he husked as he squinted his eyes to focus on her intently, his fringe curling on his forehead where it was drying from being damp with sweat.

"I love you too, Ego Trip" she said and she smiled lovingly at him.
