Hey guys, thanks again for the reviews. Like I said before I have never written anything like this before, so this is kinda new to me. I hope you keep up with the reviews and follow me along on this new journey. I don't own anything.
Reckless
Taylor kissed Gabriella one more time before the morning bell rang out to signal the start of the day, she pulled away but Gabriella not wanting their make-out session to end so quickly tightened her grip around Taylor's waist.
"You know we are getting sloppy" said Taylor standing up and loosening Gabriella's grip from around her. She walked over to a computer where she could see her reflection and started to straighten out her clothes.
Gabriella sighed heavily. "I know, but I have missed you so much. It's like we don't have time to be together anymore", replied Gabriella as she took a mirror out of her purse and checked to see if she had any visible passion marks. "These past two weeks have been crazy. I've been busy during the day, and only God knows what you have been busy doing during the evenings".
'If you only knew' thought Taylor to herself. She gathered her books and waited for Gabriella by the door. "Look I know it has been hit or miss lately, but we can't have public make out sessions. It's either my place or yours, you don't want to break up with Troy yet and you don't want anybody to know about us, so we have to be careful" said Taylor.
"Can we not start with that again? Taylor this discussion is getting old" said Gabriella a little agitated.
"How is discussing our future getting old Gabriella? Right now we are at a cross roads. You want to be with me but you don't want to hurt Troy, but the longer you wait to tell him about us, the more it's gonna hurt him" replied Taylor. 'Here I go again, making her out to be the bad person, when it's really me who is wrong' she thought. "And besides even if you did break up with Troy, we still would be hiding out at your place because you don't want any body to know that we're gay" said Taylor.
Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Taylor I said I didn't want to talk about that, this morning" Gabriella replied through clenched teeth.
"Why?" said Taylor. "This has to be resolved some how. You have to accept the predicament we are in. You are in love with your best friend, who happens to be a girl. C'mon Gabriella when are you going to accept the fact that we like kissing each other and holding each other after we make love. When are you going to accept who and what we are? When are you just gonna accept me and only me?" said Taylor quietly looking directly into Gabriella's eyes.
"You know I was really excited about seeing you this morning, but right now I really don't feel like being in the same room with you!" she said, grabbing her books and walking out of the room without bothering to say goodbye. Gabriella hated when Taylor tried to label her as something, trying to force her to make a decision between her or Troy. 'Can't she see that I'm still trying to figure out who I am, that I'm trying to figure out what to do?' thought Gabriella as she walked to her locker to get situated for the day.
"Damn it" said Taylor quietly, as she watched Gabriella walk down the hall. 'Can I screw my life up any more than it already is?' she thought to herself. Taylor decided she couldn't leave things the way they were. She headed for Gabriella's locker knowing the brunette would be there waiting for Troy like she did every morning.
Taylor reached Gabriella's locker pretty quickly, considering the halls were filling up fast, with the East High Wildcat student population. "Gabriella" said Taylor quietly, walking up behind her.
Gabriella knew Taylor was there, without even having to turn around to see her. She smelled her vanilla scented perfume behind her before Taylor even spoke. She loved the way Taylor smelled and the way her skin felt against hers. "What is it Tay, we are in a very public place…remember" said Gabriella quietly without turning around to face her.
Taylor walked to the right side of Gabriella and whispered, "I just wanted to apologize. I'm sorry for making you upset this morning, and if you give me a chance I promise I will make it up to you….tonight" said Taylor very quickly. She was weary about anybody hearing her, she couldn't afford for them to get busted by some random nosey person. "Please accept my apology" whispered Taylor.
Gabriella closed her locker and faced Taylor, "I do" she said even softer than Taylor. "I'll be looking forward to how you are gonna make it up to me" smiled Gabriella, just as she saw Troy walking around the corner coming to meet her by her locker. "Hey Troy" she said sweetly. Their private conversation was over in an instant.
"Hey babe" he responded while bending down and giving her a peck on the cheek. He put his arm around her shoulders as he shook hands with another guy in the hall way.
"Hey what up McKessie" he said nonchalantly addressing Taylor, while grabbing Gabriella's book bag while, the trio walked down the hall to homeroom. On the outside they looked like a group of friends but only Taylor knew the whole truth. All three of them could honestly win Academy Awards for the daily performances they put up.
"Nothing much Troy, how have you been" she said, just as nonchalantly.
"Pretty cool, just getting ready for the game" he replied. "You guys are coming right, this is gonna be a good one. I have to have the best two ladies at East High cheering for me" he said addressing both Gabriella and Taylor. Gabriella giggled while he looked at Taylor with his baby blues and winked at her. She couldn't help but to blush slightly hoping Gabriella didn't notice.
"Uh, I don't know Troy, Taylor and I have to get ready for the science festival this weekend. We might be studying all night" said Gabriella as they walked into homeroom.
Ms. Darbus was in the front of the class, looking like she was preparing one of her many overly dramatic speeches about the performance arts.
"Ah man, this is the first time I have heard of this" said Troy a little aggressively. He wasn't angry that they weren't going to be at the game, he was bothered by the fact that he was gonna miss his night to be with Taylor. He looked forward to their evenings alone together. Of course they made love, but he loved the fact that they could just talk for hours and connect on a deeper level…. 'Accompanied by us making love' he thought to himself, fighting the sudden urge to smile.
"Troy I told you about the festival weeks ago. Taylor and I haven't been able to fully prepare, because we both been busy" said Gabriella.
'Yeah busy cheating on me' thought Troy to himself. "Alright, I guess you ladies will have to see us some other time" said Troy a little disappointed. He placed Gabriella's books at her desk in the back of the room and he went to go take his seat in front of his best friend Chad. He really wanted to talk to Taylor but he had to play it cool, so instead he decided to talk to Chad.
Even though Taylor and Chad had broken up some time ago, she still had to sit in back of him in homeroom each day. They barely talked to one another because she dumped him right after the first time she slept with Troy. Chad's ego and pride was hurt more than anything else. She looked all around the classroom, 'Talk about uncomfortable situations. I have slept with all three of them of them, and neither of them even knows it' Taylor thought to herself, 'Gosh, I must really be a horrible person, not to mention a hoe' she thought to herself.
The guilt was eating at her again, so she decided to concentrate on what made her feel good and always drove the guilty feeling away from the pit of her stomach. She chanced a glance back at Gabriella, who was writing something down in her notebook. Gabriella felt a pair of eyes on her and she looked up quickly, locking eyes with Taylor immediately. She smiled sweetly and quickly puckered her lips as if to give Taylor an air kiss. Taylor looked up at Troy to make sure he was still being entertained by Chad, turned back around and sent a quick air kiss back to Gabriella, who continued to smile a little more seductively. 'Here we go again being reckless' thought Taylor but at the moment she could care less.
Ms. Darbus got up in front of the class and called everyone to attention. There was an immediate hush over the homeroom class as Ms. Darbus read off all of the announcements for upcoming extra credit activities and school events. Taylor took this time to let her mind wander into how to fix this growing between her, Troy, and Gabriella. 'I just have to break it off with one of them...but which one. How can I choose between the two, I love Troy's boyish smile and his beautiful eyes, and I love Gabriella's smile and the way her eyes brighten when she sees me. What am I going to do?'
Taylor completely ignored Ms. Darbus for the rest of homeroom. Being in close proximity to the both of her lovers was not making the decision any easier on her. The bell finally rang signaling the start of first period, which Taylor was glad for because she didn't have either Troy or Gabriella in her first period class. While she gathered her things to leave, she felt Gabriella brush her arm really quickly and wave goodbye. Taylor gave her a strained smile and wave back.
Troy grabbed Gabriella and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll call you later" Taylor heard Troy say to Gabriella, Taylor instantly felt a twinge of jealousy. She got up to leave, and she felt Troy right on her back. She glanced back and saw him tilt his head to the left signaling that he wanted to see her quickly before they went to their next class.
She turned around inconspicuously and walked behind Troy. Not noticing the pair of eyes following her. Taylor saw Troy dip into the nearest janitor closet. She waited a few seconds before she went in after him hoping nobody they knew saw either one of them enter the closet. As soon as she walked in Troy engulfed her with his arms and crashed his lips against hers. She responded to him, knowing full well they had all of two minutes to get to class before they were late.
Troy broke away first after a few seconds. "I just had to kiss you, since I won't be able to see you tonight" he said out of breath.
"I'm sorry Troy, I totally forgot about the science festival. I wouldn't have made plans with you if I had remembered, but I have kinda been preoccupied as of late with other things" said Taylor leaning into Troy and giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Alright my love, I guess I will have to give you a break…just this once" he said giving her a quick hug. He looked down at his watch, "We have about 45 seconds to get to class" he said. Taylor went to the door and peaked out to make sure the coast was clear. Once she gave the signal they both walked out of the janitor's closet, Troy went left and she went right. She started to speed walk when she suddenly heard her name, "Taylor!"
She turned around and saw Troy standing with his arms open wide. "This much!" he said down the hall. She laughed and did the exact same thing. "Right back at you!" she replied. That was the only way they could tell each other how much they loved one another. Troy took off and ran around the corner; Taylor knew she wasn't going to make it to class in time, so she didn't even bother with running.
'Every time I think I have chosen the one to let go, they go and do something that makes me change my mind'. Taylor walked into class and took her seat.
"Ms. McKessie nice of you to join us" said her teacher, Mr. Johnson.
"Sorry Mr. Johnson, I really had to use the bathroom" she said lying smoothly. She lied so much, it had become second nature to her.
"That is fine, just try not to let it happen again" he said, turning to the board.
Taylor took out her notebook, pencil, and English IV text book. She bent down to get something out of her purse. When she sat back up straight, she noticed that a letter was on top of her notebook that wasn't there before. It had her name on it but it didn't say who it was from. Perplexed she opened it quickly and read it to her self.
"You know you should really be more careful about what you do in this school building. If I can figure out your secret….than so can they."
She shot her face straight up, and started to look around the room nervously. How could someone have figured out her most precious secret? Not only did they know about her sleeping with both Gabriella and Troy, but they knew that Gabriella and Troy didn't know that was cheating on them with each other.
Taylor continued to look around trying to find out who put that letter on her desk. They had to be in this class because she was the last one that came into the room.
"Ms. McKessie, you haven't started on your drill yet?" questioned Mr. Johnson.
"I'm sorry sir. I'm getting right on it now" said Taylor nervously. She chanced a glance around the room again, when she locked eyes on the person she knew put the letter on her desk. 'Damn' she thought.
