Gabriella peeked over her shoulder to see Troy snoring softly and a low giggle escaped from her mouth; the peacefulness of his face was incredible now, and what amazed her more was his need to touch her even in his sleep, not she was the one complaining. To feel the warmness that his body radiated made her feel so great and safe, that she couldn't help but snuggler closer to him.
In his sleep, Troy felt Gabriella closer and pulled her body even closer wrapping his arms around her. Gabriella let him move her until both were comfortable and only then she let her mind replay the events occurred that day.
After homeroom, Troy had kissed her softly before they separated their ways and, though had been conscious about the stares, when his lips had touched hers the world had disappeared; they were alone and they were together, the rest could go to hell for all of their care.
Taylor and Gabriella had gone to their next class chatting lowly, only for themselves, but happier and totally relaxed. Gabriella felt high after her encounter with Sharpay, and Troy's words were like engraved in her mind, putting a smile on her face that didn't seem was about to disappear any time soon. The whispers, stares and glares hadn't stopped but Gabriella didn't care; for the very first time, she walked along the school completely aware that she was the centre of the attention of everybody but, at the same time, realizing that she didn't mind because for the very first time, she was at peace with herself and also with her relationship with Troy.
Some texts and some low and quick greets between she and Troy had given her the strength she needed to continue with the day carelessly; it was amazing how even the simplest word or gesture between them served her to still feel at ease. She felt better knowing that Troy felt the same; that with a quick hello or a simple wink from Gabriella Troy felt less nervous, less pressured, less observed.
However, the peek of the day had happened just before their lunch time, when Gabriella and Taylor finished Music a few minutes after the bell had rang.
"Let's go Gabi," Taylor said nervously. "The boys should be waiting for us in the cafeteria by now."
"No worries Tay," Gabriella giggled. "I am sure they aren't going anywhere. Why are you so nervous?"
Taylor blushed and Gabriella noticed that. "Why are you blushing?" She asked shocked.
"I kinda…" Taylor stuttered.
"Tay?" Gabriella asked truly curious now. "Why are you so nervous?"
Taylor took a deep breath and lowered her mouth to Gabriella's ear. "Chad and I are going out after lunch; he's home alone and today is kinda our anniversary."
"But I thought you two started your relationship in June…" Gabriella said surprised. "And I've been going with you to buy the perfect outfit for years now, so I know what I'm talking about."
Taylor groaned. "Not that anniversary…"
Her muttered words confused Gabriella even more. "Then what are you saying?"
Pulling Gabriella in the class again, Taylor closed the door behind them. "Today is the anniversary of our first time…"
Gabriella widened her eyes in shock. "Oh!"
"Yeah," Taylor blushed. "And well…it seems Chad has something planned, so after lunch we've planned to fake some illness or something and skip."
Gabriella giggled at Taylor's embarrassment. "And why are you blushing?"
"Have you heard what I've just told you?" Taylor demanded.
"Yeah," Gabriella shrugged. "But I don't see why you have to feel embarrassed by that…"
"Nevermind Gabi," Taylor muttered. "Let's go…"
Just when Taylor was about to turn the handle, she stopped and turned her body to face Gabriella's. "I need a favour though…"
Gabriella smirked guessing which kind of favour Taylor wanted and spoke carelessly. "Of course Tay, I cover you if your parents call tonight…but you need to have your phone turned on so I can call you, ok?"
"Yay!" Taylor exclaimed throwing her arms around Gabriella squealing in delight. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Gabriella giggled but returned the hug. "Don't worry…but I'll want all the details tomorrow…"
"Deal!" Taylor said excited. "Let's go, come on. The boys may be worried…"
Exiting from the classroom, both girls walked along the corridors of East High ignoring pointedly the attention they were getting. "Oh, I need to go in; you can go though…I'm not sure you're able to wait to see Chad more than you're already waited." Gabriella said when they were in front of the bathrooms.
"You sure?" Taylor asked shyly. "I could wait…"
"Don't be silly," Gabriella dismissed her with her hand. "I'll be there in a bit."
"Ok," Taylor said. "Don't worry, I'll explain Troy why I'm arriving alone at the cafeteria…"
Gabriella giggled but nodded nonetheless.
When she exited from the small cubicle, Gabriella found Sharpay waiting for her, with a very angry face. "You!" The blonde exclaimed.
At first Gabriella was shocked and afraid, but then her mind helped her replaying what Troy had told her over and over again and her heartbeat returned to its normal pace. Then, and only then, Gabriella grabbed Sharpay's arms and moved the blonde away from the sink, not saying anything and barely looking at her.
"You don't really think you can ignore me that way!" Sharpay shrieked making Gabriella wince at her tone. Gabriella didn't bother to answer her, washing her hands mutely.
Sharpay pushed Gabriella. "Answer me!"
Raising an eyebrow, Gabriella looked at Sharpay and smirked; she realized that Sharpay wasn't used to be ignored and that this was one of the things she couldn't stand. With this new power, Gabriella wanted, and needed, to resist the urge to tell Sharpay something back; she was fighting against the need to snap trying to maintain her cool the longer the better.
"Why are you smirking for?" Sharpay laughed bitterly. "Oh so now that Troy is not with you, you are not so brave, are you?"
Lifting her eyes from her hands, Gabriella locked her eyes with Sharpay's amusedly. Her brain was doing an incredible job not letting her forget about Troy's words, and so Gabriella was all but afraid in that moment.
Sharpay continued her tirade. "Troy will want a woman, and then he'll dump you in no time." Sharpay smirked cruelly. "I'll be sure he won't go anywhere near you. Your life will be a living hell Montez; the school will be against you, and no one will dare to disobey my rules. You'll. Be. Alone."
Gabriella began to laugh; not because what Sharpay was saying was funny but because Sharpay didn't realize that what she was saying was already happening. No one in the school talked with her; until the moment Troy claimed himself as hers, Gabriella was noticed by nobody…being the only ones who talked with her Chad and Taylor. If Sharpay really thought that those two will stop talking with her was more ilusional that she thought; she had to give her credit because she knew where to attack though, but in this case, Gabriella didn't care.
And Gabriella didn't care because she knew the truth was on her side; Chad and Taylor were her best friends, Troy was her boyfriend and the threesome loved her to death. That day had been the first one she had felt her heart full of love, and that gave her strength to not let Sharpay's words to bother her.
"You are funny Sharpay." Gabriella said in a matter of fact way but with a smile on her face. "Really funny."
"Why are you saying that?" Sharpay asked confused as why Gabriella was acting so coolly.
Gabriella turned around and faced the blonde smirking. After a few seconds, Gabriella leaned up until her mouth was near Sharpay's ear, who was too dumbfounded to say or do something about it. "Just because," Gabriella whispered pulling herself away from Sharpay still smirking.
Not even looking the blonde again, Gabriella went to the door and just when she was about to cross it, she talked one last time from over her shoulder. "Bye Sharpay; it's been a pleasure to talk with you."
Letting the door close behind her, Gabriella took a deep breathe and realized that her mood was intact, that her faith in Troy and her friends was untouched and that she was still happy. In fact, she was more than happy…and she needed to explain what had just happened to Troy!
Running, Gabriella went to the cafeteria opening the doors with a bang, gaining the attention of everyone. Troy lifted his eyes from his lunch to look at the door and his eyes widened when he realized Gabriella was the one who had just entered; he stood up all of a sudden and met Gabriella half way to their table, who threw her arms around his neck.
Troy was shocked but his instincts kicked in and made him wrap his arms around Gabriella preventing her from the inevitable fall. "Baby," he whispered anxious. "Are you okay?"
Gabriella didn't say anything and simply let his sweet scent to engulf her; she was happy, but also surprised with herself. She didn't know she was able to stand up for herself twice in the same day and not only that but also keeping her cool and thinking nothing about the bitter words thrown at her.
She began to giggle softly and when Troy realized her body was shaking, he thought she was crying. "Baby?" He said truly worried now.
"I'm okay," Gabriella whispered. "Sorry…"
When Troy's brain registered her words and the way she had spoken them, he pulled her body to the table, sitting there and pulling Gabriella onto his lap. "What's happened?"
"I've done it." Gabriella said lifting her head from the crock of his neck with a big smile on her face.
Troy looked at Chad and Taylor but they shrugged; they were as confused as him because of Gabriella's behaviour. "What've you done?" Troy whispered roaming his eyes around her face searching for a hint about what was happening with Gabriella.
"Sharpay has come to me while I was at the bathroom and I've faced her." Gabriella explained quietly but still smiling.
"She what?" Troy hissed angrily.
Gabriella shushed him rubbing the hairs of his nape. "Don't worry; I'm okay…"
"What has she told you?" Taylor asked trying to pacify an also angry Chad.
"Same old same old;" Gabriella answered. "But this time her words haven't bothered me one bit."
"Well done Gabs!" Chad said giving Gabriella a high five when he realized she was okay and unaffected by whatever thing Sharpay had said and done to her.
"Yeah Gabi," Taylor said smiling. "Where is Sharpay now?"
"I've left her in the bathroom a little shocked," Gabriella answered with a mischievous smile. "I think."
"What do you mean you think?" Taylor asked confused.
Gabriella giggled. "She hasn't told me anything back after my last comment and we all know that Sharpay left there wordlessly is something strange, so I guess she's been surprised by my reaction to her words."
Taylor and Chad nodded showing their understanding and Gabriella turned to look at Troy, only to see him silent and looking at her in a weird way. "Baby?" She asked confused shaking a little Troy's shoulders. "Are you okay?"
Gabriella's words snapped Troy out of his reverie and he rubbed her sides when he saw her worried face. "Are you really okay?"
"I'm more than okay," Gabriella answered smiling. "I'm perfect."
Troy locked his eyes with hers; he was surprised Gabriella had been able to handle Sharpay twice on the same day after being everyone's centre of attention. He was more than glad, but he also didn't want for Gabriella to fake happiness and good mood if she didn't feel them.
Seeing that Troy didn't believe her, Gabriella sighed and hugged him so she could talk only to him. "I swear I'm okay; I've been able to face her and I swear her words aren't bothering me. It feels great…"
Troy tightened his arms in relief. "How have you done it?" He whispered into her curls kissing the hollow under her ear softly.
Gabriella pulled away so he could read the truth in her eyes. "Remembering that you love me."
Troy didn't add anything more; his body took the control and he kissed her passionately, plunging his tongue into her mouth and trying to convey his pride and happiness into the kiss. Gabriella returned the kiss with equal fervour, letting out a soft moan when Troy's hands began to rub her sides. "I am so proud of you," Troy whispered leaning his forehead on hers and with his lips inches apart from hers.
"Love you," Gabriella whispered in return, pecking his lips afterwards and turning her body so she could lean her head on his shoulder while Troy tightened his arms around her.
The couple fed each other, Troy kissing her forehead randomly and talking with Chad and Taylor, making plans for the weekend not even bothering to look around to know that everyone was looking at them curiously, with surprise, shock and also, some of them, with jealousy.
After that, neither of them had seen Sharpay anymore; not that they cared about it.
Gabriella smiled fully at the memory; Sharpay's face had been priceless, and she couldn't help but feel proud of herself. It'd been the first time she'd been able to face her completely; until then, Sharpay never had found anyone who faced her, who answered her back. But Gabriella had done it; and not only that, but also had done it without being hurt in the process, because Sharpay's words hadn't hurt her not even one bit, which was a change, a great change.
Gabriella frowned when she realized Troy had loosened his hold on her at the same time he began to mumble incoherently and to toss around in the bed.
"Troy that's my car!"
"No way Mark!" Troy continued running through the backyard of his house with his brother in tow. "This is mine! Yours was blue!"
Mark groaned. "Don't be a baby, Troy!" Mark exclaimed again. "Mine was the red one; yours was the blue one!"
"That's not true!" Troy pouted when his big brother grabbed his arm.
"Give it to me," Mark said. "Or I'll tickle you!"
"Don't you dare!" Troy said squirming in his brother's arms.
Soon the laughter invaded the backyard and Jack exited from the house to look at his sons. "Mark, let Troy go…he's younger than you."
"But dad!" Mark protested. "He has stolen my car!"
Jack looked at his sons sternly. "Is that true Troy?"
Little Troy looked at the ground confirming Mark's words. "You have to ask permission to play with your brother's toys."
"See?" Mark said placing an arm around Troy's shoulders.
"Not so fast Mark." Jack said. "You are the big brother and you've to share your toys with Troy."
"See?" Troy said mockery poking Mark's side.
Mark laughed at that along with Jack. "Ok boys, do you want to play with the hose?
"Yay!" Both boys exclaimed running to their father to hug him who welcomed them opening his arms and tightening them when his two sons embraced him.
"I love you guys," Jack said softly but happily.
"I love you both too," Mark said giggling.
"Me three!" Little Troy said proudly.
"I love you dad…" Troy muttered in his sleep. "I love you Mark…"
Gabriella widened her eyes and turned on the lamp on her nightstand. Sitting on her knees, she saw a few tears falling from Troy's eyes and she began to shake him to wake him up.
"Troy," Gabriella shook his trembling body trying to wake him. "Come on baby, wake up…"
Troy awoke and found himself looking into Gabriella's eyes, which were looking at him with concern. He was about to talk, but Gabriella pulled his body towards hers and at the mere contact Troy broke in sobs. Gabriella did the only thing she could think of: hug him with all her might whispering comforting words into his ears.
"Troy, it's okay…" Gabriella whispered over and over again tightening her arms when Troy's arms squeezed her waist. "Shh baby, I am here…"
Gabriella rolled onto the bed and soon she found herself with her back leaning to the pillows, with Troy laying his head on her lap, burying his face in her stomach and with his arms wrapped around her waist. She caressed his cheek and hair, still whispering sweet words but letting him to take everything out.
After a while, Troy's hold on Gabriella tightened when his sobs subsided and she looked down; she had been tangling her fingers through his hair, while having a tight hold of his hand with her other hand, never stopping her soothing words. "Are you feeling better?"
Troy looked up to her and sighed. "Yeah," he whispered rubbing his fingertips along the small of her back softly. "Thank you."
"Hey," Gabriella said, "there's no need to thank me anything. We are together remember?"
Troy rolled so his back was pressed onto the mattress and tugged at Gabriella's hand so she laid down with him. "Come here," he coaxed in a throaty voice.
Gabriella obliged and snuggled closer to Troy, who wrapped one of his arms around her while the other hand remained intertwined with Gabriella's.
Silence engulfed the couple; Gabriella was letting him to calm himself down so he could gain the enough courage he needed to be able to speak about his nightmare. They'd barely talked about his nightmares, but that had been the first one since they were together again, and so she wanted for him to empty whatever he had inside to her; she wanted for him to be able to speak to her about his fears and worries the same way she had done with him. She needed to know what happened in those nightmares so they could fight against it together and from the base of the problem.
Troy, on the other hand, was replaying the dream over and over again. What bothered him was that he'd been days without those dreams haunting him and now, all of a sudden, they were back; of course he should have been expecting them, and a part of him expected them, but he thought that now that Gabriella knew everything and that he knew the truth, the haunting would stop.
Caressing Gabriella's arms with his fingertips he sighed; he knew he had to talk with Gabriella…but he didn't want to worry her more than she already was. Because he knew Gabriella had been, and was, worried about his dreams for a while now; every time she'd asked him about them he had shrugged it off, but he was aware that now he couldn't do that. He had to talk with Gabriella because he needed her with him; he knew he wouldn't be able to be okay if Gabriella was not with him, and if he had asked for her to trust him, he had to trust her too.
"How are you feeling?" Gabriella whispered looking up to his face.
Troy looked down and shrugged. "Good." He answered out of habit.
Gabriella rolled her eyes and Troy winced. "Troy," she said sternly. "Don't lie to me, please…"
"I am okay, really." Troy tried to reassure her; he didn't want for Gabriella to be more worried about him, he wanted for her to be happy, not more miserable because of his problems.
Gabriella disentangled from him and sat on his stomach, straddling him and locking her eyes with his. "We can talk about it or I can distract you, but don't shut me out."
Troy closed his eyes and sighed. "What do you want to know?" He asked in a petite voice.
Gabriella never broke the hold of his eyes. "Whatever you want to say. I won't force the story out of you, but I'm here…and I want you to trust me Troy…don't tell me you're okay when obviously that's not true."
"I'd prefer for you to ask…" Troy whispered, a small tear falling from his eye. "It'll be easier if you ask because I don't know how to begin…"
Gabriella made a move to lie beside him but Troy grabbed her hips. "Stay," he said sternly. "Please…"
"What were you dreaming about?" Gabriella asked softly grabbing his shoulders when Troy moved so he was more sitting on the bed leaning onto the pillows.
"Mark and my dad." Troy answered softly.
Gabriella used one of her hands to caress one of his arms from his hand, which was resting on her tight, to his shoulder while the other played with his hair. "What happened?"
"That's been a good dream…" Troy muttered. Taking a deep breathe, Troy explained his dream to Gabriella, who listened him with all her attention, wiping the tears that were falling down his cheeks silently. "And then dad hugged us and told us he loved us…"
"Oh Troy," Gabriella sighed pulling his body to hers. Troy welcomed the gesture clinging to her and willing himself to not cry; he couldn't stand the pain in Gabriella's eyes each time she saw him cry, it killed him. "It's okay to cry Troy…it's okay…"
Troy winced inwardly realizing she had seen through him, but he was grateful nonetheless and his body broke in sobs again, and though he hated himself for hurt Gabriella, he felt relieved and Gabriella's soothing actions and words never stopped.
After a while, Gabriella kissed his forehead pulling away a little. "Are your dreams always like that?"
"No," Troy sniffed and shook his head. "That's been one of the best ones…but also one of the saddest."
"Troy," Gabriella began tentatively. "When you came here in the middle of the night, which kind of dreams you had? Good or bad ones?"
"Both." Troy answered sincerely. "I've been coming here every time I dreamed about them…"
Gabriella nodded. "When you're ready to talk about it, you know I'm here, right?" She said wiping his tears away.
"Yeah," Troy said in a throaty voice. "I don't know, sometimes everything is dark and Mark is shouting my name so I can help him but I can't find him; sometimes we are playing in the street and then a car appears and run him over in front of me; sometimes we are on the beach and a shark attacks dad; sometimes a robber shots dad…and then there are times when the dream is happy, but when I wake up I realize that it's only been a dream…and I want desperately for them to be true."
Troy's voice broke and he pulled Gabriella's body closer to his, burying his face into her curls, while Gabriella rubbed his back softly, kissing his hair and neck randomly and whispering comforting words. "Baby, are you still feeling guilty?"
Her whispered words arrived at Troy's brain; he didn't say anything but Gabriella felt his shoulders shrug. "Troy…answer me, come on…"
"I don't know," he said from her neck. "After what you told me about mom…I don't know…I guess I do that sometimes…"
Gabriella sighed and pulled away. "Look at me Troy," she demanded when Troy's eyes avoided her face. She waited until his eyes were at sight and Gabriella forced her eyes into his. "You are not responsible baby, you are not guilty of anything. It so happened to be that way Troy, and I know it's been awful, but you are not a killer…you can't let this guilt destroy you…"
"But why every time I've been closer to someone this someone has ended dead?" Troy whispered with pain in his face and voice.
"That's not true," Gabriella pointed. When she saw Troy was about to answer, she continued. "You gave your mother strength to live, to fight against the cancer; you've given me the strength I needed all these years to continue with my life…"
"You were miserable and I haven't helped you…" Troy muttered. "You were in pain and I couldn't help you…"
"Hey," Gabriella said. "I thought I told you that I've just realized about it. Of course it's been hurting me…but I didn't know it hurt me so much until now…I've never analyzed why my mother left or why my father ignores me…until now. You've given me the power to do so baby…you've shown me that I am not alone. I have you beside me…you care for me…you think about me…"
"I love you," Troy interrupted her squeezing her waist.
"You love me," Gabriella said. "You see? You've helped me…you're not a bad person; your heart is one of the biggest hearts I know. You've done so much good baby…and not only to me! You've helped a lot of people…"
"Who?" Troy asked in a doubtful tone.
"You stopped the bully just it began. People at school can go with whoever they want because you stopped the stupid social rules from the very beginning," Gabriella explained. "Thanks to you, people are free to do, say, feel and everything they want because no one is going to attack them for it."
"I stopped the bully because you were the one who was bullied," Troy murmured. "I didn't, and don't, care about anyone more…"
"I know," Gabriella said kissing his forehead. "But after you interfered, no one dared to bully anyone in fear at your reaction."
"And that makes me a good person?" Troy protested trying for Gabriella to see his point.
"That's one of the reasons," Gabriella pointed. "But you don't have to be perfect to be a good person; everyone makes mistakes…and what's important is to learn from them. You try to help your friends, the people you have in your heart, at any cost; you put the others in front of yourself…even if that hurts you. You are worried about the other's wellbeing; you are selfless baby, you sacrifice your happiness so the others are okay…"
Troy remained silent, thinking about everything Gabriella was saying. It made sense, but still he couldn't believe he was really such a good soul as Gabriella was trying for him to think. Gabriella let him think about everything she'd said; she wanted for him to truly believe her, and she knew that would need more than just one talk. However, she had faith; she hoped she had broken a little more all the walls which surrounded his mind, not letting him to see the truth.
After a while, Troy spoke. "I'll think about it…can we stop to talk about it now, please?" His voice broke with the last word and Gabriella smiled at him sympathetically.
"Sure," Gabriella nodded. "But I'm here, okay? And…please…don't shut me out…I need to be beside you; I need to know you know you can trust me and that you'll come to me if you need me…"
Troy nodded and Gabriella moved so she could lie again. "Are we ready to sleep?" She asked patting playfully the spot beside her body. "I need my pillow…"
"Course…" Troy whispered smiling at her pouting lips and lying again, but snuggling closer to Gabriella.
"Night baby," Gabriella whispered kissing his bare chest softly.
"Night," Troy said quietly kissing her forehead and tightening his arms around her.
Troy replayed Gabriella's words rubbing her back absently; maybe she was right…maybe he was blaming himself not even thinking that he had done good things too. He hadn't even thought for once that maybe he had helped people, that he had been a good friend, that his soul wasn't damned…
Realizing he wouldn't be able to sleep again, Troy looked down at the perfect girl which was lying in his arms. He knew she was still awake…and that she was tired. He knew he should let her sleep but at the moment his brain was collapsed between his dream and their talk. "Babe?" He asked tentatively.
Gabriella pulled away from his chest to look at him when she picked up the edge of his voice. "What?" She asked moving one of his arms so she could caress his face with her hand.
Troy knew what he wanted to say, but at the same time he was afraid to voice his thoughts. Deciding that he needed to trust Gabriella and that it was okay for him to lean on her, Troy took a deep breathe with his eyes closed. "I…I…I…I n…ne…need you…" He stuttered with a broken voice.
Gabriella understood him; she didn't need more words to know what he was referring to, and so she rolled so her back was on the mattress and soon Troy followed her, hovering her body with his.
Softly and tentatively, Troy leaned down and connected his lips with hers; the kiss was unhurried, sweet but also passionate. Softly, Troy rubbed her lower lip with his tongue asking for entrance; Gabriella obliged and opened her mouth for his wet intruder, and Troy didn't hesitate one bit, introducing his tongue into her mouth and intertwining it with Gabriella's.
Troy's hands searched the hem of the shirt she was wearing, one he knew had been his at some point in their life, and began to caress her leg under the item, going upwards but always slowly and only using his fingertips, leaving a trail of goose bumps in her skin.
Gabriella's arms didn't remain still; she had both her hands tangled with his hair, tightening her hold when his hand reached her hip, because then Troy deviated his hand from its path to her ass cheeks, pressing her lower body into his, making her moan at the pressure his shaft was making into her core.
Breaking the kiss when the need of air became too important to ignore, Troy moved his lips down her jaw, her throat and her neck, sucking hard when Gabriella's body stiffened for a moment and so he knew he had found one of her soft spots. When a mark began to form there, Troy lapped his art work and moved his hands down her body until he reached the hem of the shirt, pulling the item upwards so Gabriella could take it off. Free from barriers, Troy attacked her right breast with his mouth, pinning her nipple with his tongue, sucking her skin at the same time, and using his left hand to fond the other breast.
"Fuck Troy…" Gabriella moaned in ecstasy pressing his head more into her breast. "Don't stop…" Troy changed breasts making her whimper at the lack of contact but soon she moaned again when his tongue swirled around her left areola.
Gabriella moved one of her hands down his body until she found the hem of his boxers, introducing her hand there and pumping her fist along his shaft, making him growl. "Shit babe…"
Troy devoured her mouth again, thrusting his tongue to battle against hers passionately. Gabriella didn't stop her moves and Troy groaned into her mouth when she added more pressure to his already engorded penis. "Fuck…"
Smirking, Gabriella rolled over so she was straddling him. Pulling away from the kiss, Gabriella pressed her core more into his and Troy closed his eyes in pure bliss and pleasure; she massaged his abs and pecks with her fingertips, making goose bumps to appear. "Open your eyes Troy…"
The sexyness with which she'd spoken made Troy to open his eyes in a bit, groaning when he came face to face with her bounding breasts. "God!"
"You can touch…" Gabriella whispered into his ear tugging his earlobe with her teeth.
Troy didn't hesitate one bit and covered her mound with his mouth again, pressing her body closer to his mouth and rolling Gabriella onto her back when she moaned in abandoned pleasure. Leaving her breast, Troy moved downwards his mouth, caressing with his lips every inch of skin they found, tugging at her piercing with his teeth. "This is too damn sexy…" He muttered continuing with his trip until he found the hem of her thong, tugging at it until it was at her feet with his teeth, discarding the item with his hand and throwing it away.
His lips moved upwards from her toe to the top of her leg, avoiding her core on purpose. Squirming, Gabriella moaned. "Fuck Troy, don't tease…"
"Not yet…" He said in a husky voice but still making a quick lap at her opening making Gabriella gasp and continuing to her other leg.
"Troy…" She whined with a moan. "That's not nice…" She complained pouting and trying to reach his head with her hands. "Come on…"
"What do you want?" Troy asked amusedly lying beside her nude body nonchalantly.
Snorting in disbelief, Gabriella made a move to stand up from the bed to pick her shirt up but Troy stopped her. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Seeing you don't want to do anything, I'll get dressed." Gabriella muttered frustrated.
Troy chuckled and stopped her pinning her hands at her sides with his hands. "You don't go anywhere…" And not waiting for an answer Troy devoured her mouth again. Gabriella was too eager to keep her strong façade and soon kissed him back.
Troy removed his hands from hers and rubbed her sides, lingering a little bit on the side of her breasts, and continued downwards. When he noticed Gabriella was distraught enough, Troy introduced one of his fingers into her core. "Holly shit!" Gabriella exclaimed in surprise pulling her head away from his. "Fuck!"
"Do you like it?" Troy panted from above her.
"More…" She moaned. "God Troy harder…"
Troy introduced two more fingers into her and Gabriella moaned louder. "Yes! Faster…"
Moving his fingers as fast as he could, Troy had to close his eyes; his erection was painful but he needed to focus only on her. Though to see her so abandoned at his actions, moaning his name loudly and wriggling in pleasure under him was being too much. "Fuck Gabriella…"
"Almost there Troy…" She panted when she felt a tingling and warm sensation in her core. "Don't stop…"
"Come on baby," Troy coaxed panting hard. "Cum for me…"
"More…" Gabriella panted. "Almost there Troy…faster…"
Troy realized he couldn't go faster and widened his eyes; he needed for her to cum, he needed to pleasure her. Not even thinking Troy kneeled beside her body and pulled his fingers away harshly making her gasp in shock, though it soon became an even louder moan when he began to rub her folds with his tongue, thrusting it in and out from her core as fast as he could.
Her groans increased its volume and Troy knew she was almost there, so he pinched her clit with his fingers and that was it; Gabriella's juices arrived at his mouth and he lapped her clean while Gabriella screamed in pure pleasure his name.
"Your taste is superb…" He said kissing her body upwards very slowly so she could recover from her orgasm, until he reached her lips where he lingered so she could taste herself.
"My god…" Gabriella panted when Troy pulled his lips away from hers. "Am…am…amazing…"
Troy chuckled throatily and soon gasped when Gabriella gained strength from who-knows-where and made him roll onto his back, straddling him again. "My turn…" She said with a mischievous look.
Not even waiting for an answer, Gabriella pulled his boxers down his legs and threw them away, grabbing his erect penis with her hand and soon engulfing him into her warm mouth. Troy's world stopped when her tongue flicked over his head; to see Gabriella orgasm was almost enough for him to cum, and he was still high from mere seconds before, so the fact to see Gabriella's eyes opened locked with his and seeing how his member appeared and disappeared into her mouth was something out of this world. "Fuck babe…"
Gabriella helped herself with her hands, fastening her pumps. "Come on Troy…I am hungry…" She panted hard.
Troy's knuckles were white from the force he was doing grabbing the sheets. "Shit…" He leaned back and closed his eyes in ecstasy. "Almost…there…"
Gabriella sank her teeth over him, adding more pressure on his balls and that was it. Troy screamed her name when he spilled into her mouth; she swallowed everything he gave, purring like a content cat. "Now that's a proper dessert…" She whispered when her mouth abandoned his penis with a "pop".
Crawling upwards, Gabriella moved with a deliberated slowness; Troy opened his eyes still panting and when he realized what she was doing he grabbed her arms and rolled her over so he was now on top. "You are a fucking vixen…" He panted attacking her mouth again though more softly now, still trying to regulate his breath.
The kiss became hotter in seconds and soon Gabriella noticed his member poking into her tight. "Already hard?" She giggled grabbing his member and making him hiss.
Her actions pushed Troy over the edge and with a one swift movement Troy opened her legs wider and penetrate her fully. Gabriella screamed in shock but soon welcomed him wrapping her legs around his waist and lifting her hips to meet his thrusts; Troy was rougher than usually but Gabriella loved the passion with which Troy was thrusting into her, roughly, harshly and mostly deeply, reaching her deepest core with each of his thrusts.
Troy devoured her mouth thrusting his tongue into her mouth following the rhythm their love making had and soon he felt Gabriella's nails digging into his skin probably leaving a mark, but he was too far to feel pain; he only could feel pleasure, the pleasure her body brought him, the pleasure her love made him feel.
The lack of air soon became a problem and they pulled apart panting but moaning and groaning wildly; Gabriella closed her eyes when she felt her orgasm beginning to form. "Fuck Troy…harder…"
Troy obliged pulling completely out of her and thrusting into her with all his might making Gabriella scream. "Come on baby, let it go…" He was about to cum; he could feel each inch of his skin boiling in ecstasy, each of his nerves excited and each muscle contracting with the roughness he was acting with…but he needed to cum with Gabriella.
The fact of them cumming together meant the world to him; to reach their peeks together was the most incredible feeling for him, because it was their entrance to their heaven together. "Please baby…I am not going to last…" He panted from above Gabriella.
"Almost…there…" Gabriella panted biting his shoulder tasting the blood, feeling slightly frustrated because she could feel her peek almost there but it was as if it was still too far away.
Troy hardened his thrusts when Gabriella bit him. "Fuck Gabi!" He lowered his head to her breasts, lapping the valley between them and devouring one of her mounds with his mouth, biting her already super hardened nipple.
And that was it.
Gabriella's walls contracted over him soaking his shaft with her juices which soon mixed with his when he spill his seed into her, both screaming each other names when their orgasms touched its peeks.
Troy collapsed over Gabriella; his arms were sore and gave him away, crushing her body with his. However, Gabriella wasn't the one complaining because she wrapped her arms around his neck forcefully and feeling the emotion reach its peek, making her to let out some tears.
Troy noticed something wet in his already wet skin and pulled away off her still panting hard, trying to regulate his breathe and rolled onto his back, pulling Gabriella's body on top of him, never breaking their embrace.
Neither of them said anything; Gabriella because found impossible for her to stop the tears and Troy because he used the little strength he still had inside of him to sooth Gabriella.
The emotion she was feeling overcame her; the love for her Troy was radiating made her feel dizzy, their connection even deeper and even unbreakable, her love for him exploding in her heart. Troy, on the other part, rubbed her back softly, kissing randomly each inch of skin his lips could reach and whispering panted comforting words into her curls.
After a while, her silent sobs subsided and she shivered; the sweat which covered both bodies already dried, and the chill breeze which entered in her room from the window made appear goose bumps in both bodies. Troy reached down to grab the sheets, surrounding both bodies with them but never breaking skin contact with Gabriella, who was still lying on top of him. "Babe?" He whispered kissing her forehead. "Are you okay?" Troy realized he'd been rough with her, maybe too rough.
Gabriella lifted her head from the crock of his neck and smiled at him. "Yeah…"
"Have I hurt you?" Troy asked worried pulling her hair away from her face from her cheek and lingering his hand there.
Gabriella shook her head. "I'll be a bit sore but I've enjoyed it…it's been something, uh?" She asked playfully giggling softly and adjusting her body on top of his so both were more comfortable.
"You can say that again," Troy chuckled softly. "But it's been incredible…you've been incredible and I feel like my heart is going to explode now…I don't know, I swear I am feeling closer to you than ever…"
Touched by his words, Gabriella leaned down to nuzzle their noses together, pecking his lips sweetly. "I love you so much…"
"You're my life baby," Troy whispered pressing her head down so their foreheads were touching. "I fucking love you more than my own life…because you're my life; you're what keep me going, you're the energy I need to live, you're the soul I need to feel beside me to feel complete, you're the heartbeat of my heart…"
"And you're the most important person in my world Troy; without you, I don't need anything more because in you I have whatever I need: a friend, a best friend, a lover, a family…" Gabriella whispered crying softly. "You are the one that have made me feel alive again; you make me feel loved, you make me feel complete…you understand me, you know me, you accept me, you care for me…"
"Because we are together baby," Troy said with emotion laced in his voice.
Gabriella nodded. "Forever; we've been, we are and we'll be together forever."
