Are you all ready for this? Its going to be epic. :)
Chapter 18- You and I
Troy and I lay tangled in the sheets it was Friday morning of our little vacation and we could not help ourselves any longer. It happened way after everybody went to bed and locked our door. Lucky, all of our neighbors are adults who were probably doing the same thing. I pulled on the sheet as I kissed Troy's chin. We had been awake for little over an hour.
"I don't even want to get up," I mumbled into his chest, Liam was lying on top of his chest too so, we were face to face. I played with his tiny fingers while he tried to rise his head up.
"Oh but I think you do, I have the perfect day planned." Troy said letting his fingers run through my curls, "Really?" I asked him looking towards his ocean eyes. "Mhm, just you and I all day long, Liam is going to stay with the women all day." He said kissing my forehead. I gave him a little smile, "You haven't gone out with the guys all week when they do things." I told him, Troy squirmed before he began to look at me again.
"I want to but I don't want to leave you and Liam alone, I mean I just got home a few days ago." He said running his hand over his head full of hair. Liam squirmed as he slept on his belly. Troy adjusted Liam before he looked down at me, "You need to be able to leave us Troy. It's just for a few hours."
"Well today, can not be changed. We are going to make this the perfect Friday." He said giving me a look, "What do you have planned,"
"Can't tell you." He said as he rolled Liam over on to his back. I pouted softly as I inched up his chest, my lips pressed against him and he tried not to moan. "Not fair women," he mumbled, "This is totally unfair."
"You should just tell me," I said looking at him, he shook his head, "Sorry. Cant." I sighed and I sat up as I pulled Liam off his chest. He gave me a long look before demanding to have him back. I gave a small giggle, "Not even a hint?" he shook his head, "Sorry, baby girl." He kissed my forehead.
"What would you do if we had a girl?" I asked him, he gave a smile, his cheekbones rising. "You would still be my baby girl. Our daughter would have to be something else. You already stole that one," he kissed me and I pulled back from him. I kissed Liam's forehead before I gave him to Troy.
"So no request on what I wear?" I asked he shook his head, "I knew that trick. I already fell for it once." I laughed remembering the moment in our senior year.
Flashback
"So a date tonight?" Troy asked me with a slight grin, the grin of a young schoolboy. He still had those baby features to his face that made me want to melt.
"Well I was hoping you would ask, mind telling me what I am doing?" I asked as I adjusted my backpack. I was getting ready to go into my sixth hour class of the day. American History, the most boring class in my history.
"Nope, sorry can't tell you." He said as he pulled the backpack from my shoulder. I rolled my eyes softly as I let him have the five-ton backpack. I mean it was the backpack with every book possible in there. "Dang lady, what is in here?" he asked me, "Everything." I muttered
Troy rubbed my shoulder as he kissed my cheek, "Bolton! Montez! No PDA!" Darbus yelled at us down the hallway. I gave her an annoyed look before entering the classroom I dreaded everyday. "Have fun," Troy said slipping the backpack off his shoulders, he then set it down by my desk before going five rows over to his desk.
I smirked, "Evil." I muttered this was about the only bonus point to this class, the down point he slept the entire time. It was cute to watch him sleep but we were not even close enough to pass notes. I sighed as I fell into my seat, the final bell rang and the final students poured into the room.
"Good afternoon class," said my teacher, students mumbled words back to him as he pulled down the projector screen. "We are doing a project today so you can pick your partners," he said and I instantly turned my head to Troy who was already looking at me. About ten other girls in the class were also looking at Troy but he made a heart with his hand and pointed to me. I laughed and covered my mouth so the teacher would not notice. We got our official assignment then moved our desks to our partners. The girls all shot my envy looks before partnering up.
"Mmm…love you!" he whispered against my lips as he came closer. I giggled as I opened my book to the page of George Washington. "So what am I supposed to wear?" I asked him with while raising my eyebrow.
"Uhm, jeans but make sure you bring socks." He mumbled while pushing the pencil against his lips. My jaw dropped, "Were going bowling!" I said looking up towards the ceiling. I let out a laugh while Troy's eyes met mine, "How…wow. I am stupid." I laughed harder as I buried my head into the book.
"Bolton, Montez! You better be quiet your you get detention!" our teacher snapped but we were laughing too hard.
"Detention! The both of you!" He yelled we both looked at each other before letting another round of laughter pass. "It was well worth it." I told him as I we stopped laughing.
"Whatever, you just ruined the surprise."
End of the Flashback
"I totally remember that," Troy said with laughter, I grinned, "I think all we did during that detention was make out." He said with a small grin, "Since that's all we did." Troy said with a wink, "I miss those days sometimes,"
"Sometimes I feel that's all we do." I gave him a look of whatever, "Well we want to get this day started," Troy started as he looked at me with his blue eyes.
"So get up, shower and change." He pressed his lips against mine before getting out of bed with Liam. Liam protested as they made there way out of the room. I felt a small smile creep onto my face as I got up, I had no idea what Troy had planned but I was excited. I reached up into our unpacked suitcase to grab the outfit from Hollister I was dying to wear; I had bought it just for this trip.
It was a pair of La Jalla Shores, a pair of short shorts that had a thin brown belt. It was cuffed off at the end, which made it look cleaner. I then grabbed a white tank top to follow with blue and white stripped third quarter length sleeves. It rolled up right past my elbows. Troy had left the room as I pulled out the final piece of clothing. A light navy sweater that would be just as long as my shorts, some would say this was slutty but I thought it was cute.
I held the outfit tight against my chest as I looked to see the brown flip-flops I would wear with it. I giggled, as I felt giddy, "Today is going to be a good day!" I could just feel it. I grabbed my iPod and I turned it up to full blast to Good Life by One Republic, yes, "This is going to be a good life."
After shaving, doing my hair, getting dressed in my amazing outfit, finished my make-up and finishing fluffing my hair, I was ready to leave. I picked up my camera as I stepped out of the room. I looked in the mirror; my top three buttons were unbuttoned on my shirt. The shirt was casually tucked in so you could see the top of my shorts with the lacy brown belt that I adore.
I felt good today as I snapped a quick picture as if I was a teenager; I had a millions of pictures like this. I put an extra coat of lip-gloss on my lips before I stepped out into the hallway. Everybody was up and down in the kitchen with breakfast going on the table. Breakfast and lunch were usually a free for all. Do whatever you want but once it came to dinner, you had better be at that table on time.
"I am taking her out all day; we probably won't be back until long after you are all in bed." I heard Troy say, I grinned, as I knew something good held within the day, I just wish he would tell me. "Have fun bro," Jenni said nudging on him winking in my direction, Troy caught on and spun around. He smirk rose above his face, "This outfit does not approve." Jack said coming behide Troy.
"Whatever I'm twenty two, be twenty three in July," I said giving him a wink, the boys as laughed as Troy came over to slip his arms around my waist. "I am pretty sure it passed," he murmured as he leaned down to capture my lips. "So not even a hint about today?" I asked him with a small pout, he shook his head, "You are so mean" his grin made me spin, "I know."
"Not at all, just the only thing you need to know is that it will be you and I." I grinned as I slipped my hand into his, "Wanna say goodbye to mommy?" I peaked over Troy's shoulder to see Lucille holding Liam, "Come here big guy!" I said letting go of Troy. Troy grabbed my camera from my hand and took a picture of us. I kissed his forehead before he grasped onto my hair.
I giggled, "Let's not start that…" I told him as I pulled him away, "Make sure he gets some belly time," I told Lucille, she nodded her head, "Of course!" I gave him back after Troy gave him a quick kiss.
"Well we will see you all later!" Troy said as he picked up the rental keys off the table. I waved goodbye as I looped my arms through his. "You look stunning today," he told me as we walked onto the street; he unlocked the car and opened the passenger door.
"So I think you deserve a day out from Liam and my crazy family." Troy said as he shut my door, I buckled my seatbelt as Troy got into the car. "So first stop," he pulled out something from his pocket and handed it too me. "Bowling." He said handing me a pair of socks, I laughed.
"Wow, really?" I asked
"So you brought that whole thing up because of this?" I asked him, he shook his head, "Nah, I had it planned all along and it just kind of happened to come up." He said with a cute smirk, he put the car in drive and we took off down the roads.
"I am so going to beat you." I said as I reached for his hand, "You really think you are going to beat superstar Bolton?"
I nodded my head, "of course I do." I told him with a slight smirk, the car ride to the bowling alley was a fun one. Blasting music as if we were still teenagers, laughing at the most random things, and just having so much fun. Once Troy pulled in, I felt a flutter ring through my heart.
Troy came over and opened my car door before we started walking towards the entrance.
"That would be strike number four!" I cheered as I held up four fingers, Troy shook his head in shame that we were tied, "I should have stuck with basketball," he said snapping his fingers while he winked, I giggled as I collapsed in the chair near me. It was inching its way closer to noon and we had not had a single call yet from anybody. Not Lucille, not Jack, No Kyle, No Jenni, nobody was calling which was nice.
"Alright, last frame." Troy said as he picked up the yellow bowling ball that you could spot from a mile away. I spun around in my chair as I watched him walk up to the line before rolling the ball down the oily lane. We were neck and neck; I had brought the last strike up to tie us, which was so much fun.
The ball rolled down the lane before hitting the center pin knocking them all over. He pumped a fist in excitement; Troy got another chance to throw the ball. He grabbed it as it came out of the machine and walked back up to the line. His neon bowling shoes flashed as they had the place at a dim light.
He knocked off another strike; I was in shit mode now. I had not had back-to-back strikes yet, hell, I was lucky to have one. When he got up to throw the ball one last time, he only got two pins. I felt a weakness come over me, something that I felt defeated. Troy gave me a wicked grin before I stood up to grab the pink ball awaiting. It is as if he knew that I felt defeated.
I sighed, the heaviness wore down my hand, I got up there and I let the ball leave my hand while it rolled down the slick lane. I held my breath as it tapped the first pin then the next nine came down with it. I jumped in the air excited that I at least got one. Troy chuckled behide me while I retrieved my ball again. I was happy to have at least one strike; it means I still had a chance to beat his sorry ass.
"Good Luck," he said whispering in my ear, I felt the shiver running down my spine as his breath was hot against mine. His lips touched me neck and I quickly stepped forward to get out of his grip. That was not fair, that was cheating. "Cheater." I hissed towards him. He chuckled, "Wow,"
I threw the ball again and I got another strike. I could feel the flabbergasted Troy behide me. Shit, I was flabbergasted. "Only you," he muttered shaking his head, I looked up towards the ceiling as a low laugh tumbled through my mouth. I felt excited and ready to beat Troy as I grabbed the ball once more, I approached the line, and whoosh. The ball left my hands as it bounced against the ground.
When the ball bounced it slowly rolled towards the pins. Troy stood next to me as we both watched it hit one pin, then another fell, then another. Once they all stopped falling all you could see was the one pin wobbling back and forth. The pin would sway one way then it would sway the next.
I held my breath waiting to see if it would fall over…it started to hold up right before something happened, the pin hit the floor. I wrapped my arms around Troy's neck as I jumped onto his waist, "I won!" I cheered into his ear, he laughed as he held me up. "You got a turkey." He told me as I busted out into laughter.
"I won a turkey," I joked poking his shoulder; I let my lips fall onto his as we stood in the deserted bowling alley. Troy kissed me a little harder as I dropped from his waist. I locked my arms around his neck as he held onto my waist. "You are amazing." Troy whispered, "You were amazing."
"Only when I am with you," I said as I leaned my nose against his, Troy smirked "You are amazing all the time," he said while he kissed my lips once more. We stayed locked like this for several minutes. The only people that were in the alley were a few couples from the senior home. "Come on, we have to get to the next place."
I felt confused as he rushed towards his shoes leaving me behide. I only gave a small sigh as I reached for the brown flip-flops. We returned our shoes to the front counter and Troy slipped his arm around my waist. "Off to lunch," he said kissing the top of my head, I followed him out to the car, we both got as Troy turned it on. The car roared to life as the radio turned on blasting Katy Perry. I turned down the music so the car did not thump along anymore.
We drove through the city before coming up to a rural area, we started to drive up a hill as it turned and curved. "Where the hell are you taking me for lunch?" I asked him as kept going, "You'll see," he said pursing his lips together, I giggled, "Really," I said as he stopped the car. The area around me caught my eye, the tall grass swaying in the wind as if there was something hiding in them. I could smell the fresh salt in the air as it floated off the ocean.
"We are here," he unbuckled his seatbelt before getting out of the car. I slowly took off my seatbelt as I looked around; I got out to see Troy had a basket in his hands. "A picnic?" I asked him, "Just like our first date," the smile on his face let me know that he was happy. I slipped my hand into his, "I feel like I can remember that date like any other day,"
Flashback
I looked nervously at my outfit, a cute pair of American Eagle jeans with a white v-neck t-shirt. My pink soft Northface covering my arms as it was a chilly winter day.
I sniffled as my nose began to run, perfect. I get to go on my date with THE Troy Bolton with a sniffle nose. What if he never wants to speak to me again? I groaned as I slipped my purse over my shoulder, "This is way to nerve-wracking." I said scratching my forehead.
I started down the stairs as I looked to see my mom lying with my dad on the couch. Jealously ran through my veins as I wished I had the love they did. "Well I am getting ready to go out," I told them as I hit the bottom stair. My dad lifted his head to catch my eye. "Don't you think that shirt is a little low?" he questioned
I rolled my eyes, "Come on daddy," I whined, my mom giggled as she sat up looking at it. "I don't think it's that bad honey," she said, I shook my head as my parents began to dwindle on about how it should be higher or that it was perfect. I agreed with my mom that it was the perfect length.
"Oh come on guys, its not like you can see my belly button," I put my hands on my hips, "True," I bit my lip as the doorbell rang, "Oh that must be him! You said his name was Troy?" my mom asked me, I nodded my head, "Yea,"
My mom and dad both quickly raced to the door before I could stop either of them. I rolled my eyes as I walked behide them, "Hello Troy,"
"Mr. and Mrs. Montez, how nice it is to meet you." Troy threw in a smile before catching my eye. He let a wink slip by towards me, I felt like I was going to melt. I could smell him from here, some cheap ax and sweat. I was pretty sure that it was the cutest smell ever with that amazing smile.
"Well arent you a charmer," my mom said with a grin plastered onto her face, "Troy come in," my dad said as he stepped back, "Dad is the really nessccsary?" I asked him, he nodded his head while Troy came through the door.
"No issues Brie," he said shrugging his shoulders, "Brie?" my dad asked the two of us, "Its my nickname for her sir," My dad eyed him with curiosity. "Well do you mind telling me where you are taking my daughter?"
"I'd rather keep that a surprise to her if you don't mind," Troy told him like a gentleman. He really knew how to work the parents. If I was a male I would be a nervous wreak yet he appeared to be calm and happy.
"Well then, I think you two are free to go but you better have her back by,"
"Ten tonight, got it." Troy opened the front door for me as my dad let his jaw drop in surprise. "Well Mr. Smarty-pants," he mumbled under his breath. "Oh Lord," I said pushing Troy out the door. The door shut with a thud before I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Totally sorry about them, they were crazy." He laughed, I mean he laughed, "Usually, I never get to meet the parents. The girls always beat them to the door. I like how you were different." He said with a soft grin placed on his face. I blushed as I looked away. Troy opened his car door for me as I slipped in.
"So you arent going to tell me anything about tonight?" Nothing felt awkward about this, usually the first twenty minutes with the boy was awkward for me but nothing. I felt totally at ease with him. I felt like I could be with him for the rest of my life. It was just so simple.
"Nope, not until we get there." He said as he backed his car out of the driveway. "So tell me, how was your day?" Troy asked I shifted in my seat. What was I supposed to tell him, that I was a nervous wreck? I could not eat or drink because I was so nervous. "Fantastic," I told him
"Good," he said, he then turned the music up. The car ride was silent mostly on the way over besides the music. Troy then pulled into the East High parking lot.
"What are we doing here?" I glanced at the temperature to see it was barely above 50 degrees, which is cold here. "You will see," he once again opened my door and then he reached for my hand. His fingers poked through mine as our hands fit perfectly together. I grinned, as it was a perfect fit, perfect.
I gladly let him take it as he guided me towards the building. He poked the key through the hole before turning it. The door clicked open as it opened into the gym. "My dad's key." He said shrugging; I nodded as he then pulled me out of the gym and down a few hallways. The building was dark and quiet as nobody was running around.
This place felt different without anybody in here. It was dark and kind of scary, I stayed closed to Troy as we walked through. We then came to another door that Troy had to unlock. We climbed a staircase before coming to the most amazing thing ever.
"The rooftop Garden," Troy said with a grin, "My favorite place in this whole building."
I touched the wall as I looked at him, "I never knew about this place," I told him, and he set down the basket as I realized we were outside. "Because only about twenty people do," Troy pulled out a blanket as he started to set it down. I watched him before he looked at me. His shining blue eyes filled with happiness and eagerness.
"We are having a picnic below the stars," I thought I was going to cry, it was the perfect date ever planned.
This had to be the most romantic thing…ever.
End of Flashback
"I remember like it was yesterday," I said sighing, Troy and I were walking to this location. We stepped over tree branches, leaves, palm trees, and many other things. We then came to the view, "Here is where we are having lunch."
I felt in Awh as I looked over the beach, the waves washing up onto the shore. Very little people out on the beach making it even better, it felt like we belonged to be here. The sun was high in the air and Troy started to set down a blanket. "Why do you always pick the best views?" I said as I sat down not letting my eyes leave from the scene. "I just know the places," he said casually.
"I think you spend too much time on Google," I said laughing, Troy shook his head as he tossed me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "I don't spend a minute. I was just doing my regular run the other day and I stumbled across it. I swear," he held up his pinky.
"Fine," we attached pinkies before he let go. "Do you think our relationship has dulled since the beginning?" I asked him, Troy laughed, "Are you kidding me? I swear our life has become crazy." I nodded as I took a bite out of the sandwich. A black and orange butterfly flew past my face as I watched it fly towards the ocean. "Wow," I said as I saw about ten more of them. "Pretty amazing huh?" Troy said as he pushed a grape into his mouth.
"Its more than amazing, its perfect." I said as I took a small bite out of my sandwich. I took in a deep breath of the salty air; it felt amazing to be here. "So Whats up after this?"
"I told you babe, it's all a surprise." I frowned as I looked at him, "Not even one hint?" I questioned, he shook his head, "Sorry come again later." I groaned as I leaned back onto him. "I promise you will end the day with a smile on your face." Troy said to me as he tossed me a grape. I rolled my eyes, "Not if you don't tell me what we are going to do today." I pouted
"Well let's see we are going to chase wild hippos through the jungle, run from the bears that are ready to eat us, and…a llama will spit on us because we stepped on its toe." I busted out into laughter, "Wow," I said as my cheeks flushed, he smirked, "I told you you will be a smile on your face." Troy winked at me. Damn it he was too damn cute.
"So I guess I should stay away from these hippos, llamas, and bears."
"Oh my." Troy said as he grabbed another grape, "Come on, and catch it!" He said tossing it up; I ducked for it as I let it fall into my mouth. "Perfect!" He said falling backwards on to his back. I chewed the grape up before grabbing one for him.
"Ready?" I asked him as I slipped another one into my hand, he nodded his head, "Bring it on hot stuff,"
I tossed both grapes up into the air and they both hit his forehead. I rolled in laughter as he shook his head. "That was not fair."
"You gave me three grapes at once, that weren't fair!" I told him as I ate one quickly. There was something about grapes and our relationship. "So I heard you tell Jenni we wouldn't be back until late tonight." Troy fidgeted before he scrabbled for a piece of food.
"Uhm yea, our last plan lasts a little while." He said while scratching the back of his neck. I eyed him for a moment before I turned away to look at the tall grass and the beautiful ocean. "Don't you ever wonder what its like to just be in the middle of the ocean? You can't see any land around, all you can see it ocean." I wondered as I saw a sailboat drifting out towards the land we could not see.
"Sometimes." Troy commented, "I wonder what my life would be like without you too." My eyes flicked to him as he turned away, "I mean it was such a rare chance to meet and then to have you transferred to my school? It was just so crazy, like it was destined to happen." His hand reached forward to mine as I got up to sit in his lap.
I had finished eating my food as Troy slipped his arms around my waist. "But then I realize you are mine forever," his voice was so soft against me that I just wanted to melt into him. I never wanted to get up and leave because this is how I wanted to be forever.
"I have to ask," I said letting my head fall against his shoulder, "Do you prefer penguins or dinosaurs?" I asked him, he laughed and shook his head. "You come up with some of the most random topics ever!" he said still laughing, "But I would have to say dinosaurs."
"Why, because penguins are the bomb!" I clapped my hands, "Because! Dinosaurs are just the legit, I mean they are extinct and will never come back again. In addition, they were huge! I mean fifty million feet tall, people dig for there bones." He argued
"Oh come on, penguins have to live in the freezing cold. Wobble like no other and the male hatches the egg. I mean that is totally wicked, amazingly wicked." I said shaking my head, "The only way you can beat penguins is by like making a dinosaur come back to life." I said waving my hand in his face. We both laughed.
"Whatever, I mean dinosaurs did everything! They flew, walked ten million feet in the air and they roamed this earth before us!" He puffed out his chest as to show that he was right.
"Oh pulease! Only because they arent around anymore but look, if they were very cool they would still be around. Penguins can live in warm climates and those dinosaurs are just so…weird." I shrugged my shoulders as Troy laughed, "You are insane," He told me as he picked up a cookie that was sitting on the ground.
"You know what I miss?" I asked picking up one of the cookies, "What?" Troy took a bite before he gave me a small smile, "Zeke's cookies."
"That's good." He said, "Because this is Zeke's cookies." I gasped lightly as I stuffed my cookie into my mouth. It melted into my mouth, it was not warm as if I loved them but it was still so good. "How did you get these?"
"I have been hiding them all week. I have no idea how you didn't find them on the plane when you were digging through the bag." He said as I picked up another cookie, how was Sharpay not fat? "Damn, I love these." I muttered, "He should open a restaurant it would be the biggest restaurant ever." I licked my fingers from the chocolate.
"That's what he wants to do. He is trying so hard to finish culinary school." I grinned, "I might just have to eat there everyday." Troy's forehead wrinkled, "You gonna cheat on me with that restaurant?" I shook my head, "Never," I leaned in closer to him as my lips were about to touch his, "because I love you,"
"Good because I love you too. So you going to have to put up with my shitty cooking ever now and then," I let a small smile fall over my face, "I enjoy your cooking…every now and then." I admitted, "What my peanut butter and jelly?" he asked me, "Totally." He let his hand wander up my back.
"I have to ask," Troy said, "What is your favorite memory of us?" I sighed as I wiggled in his arms as he let his hand slide farther up. "My favorite memory of us?"
"Yea, I mean after what six years of dating?"
"Wait…our six years already passed?" I questioned as I looked at him, I then thought of the day. "Oh my," my fingers touched my lips, "February 26th," Troy commented
"The day Liam was born," I said back to him, I let my hand go to my forehead; "I can not believe I forgot all about that. That was such a crazy day."
"Do you think I was giving you that spa day thing for nothing? It was our anniversary but I wanted to see how long it was going to take you to figure it out. I was getting ready to tell you when our lives changed forever."
I let my fingers into his as I looked out over the ocean. "That was a pretty amazing day; I can't believe I completely forgot that it was our anniversary."
He kissed my jaw line, "Well I am glad you remember it now," he teased, I pushed him back slightly as we laughed. "We havent gotten to spend any time at all together anymore, either Liam is with us or Chad comes in the room or Sharpay, my parents…" he kept rolling off names, "I would give 99.9% of that to your son."
"Yea but he is too cute to say no to," Troy pouted, "Oh Lord you are never going to say no to him, which is going to make me the bad guy,"
"Well of course, you are the mommy." I wided my eyes, "I am the mommy?" he nodded his head, "I'm pretty sure," he said as he kissed me once more. "Only if you say so."
I laughed and Troy gave me a look, "Come on now, lets go." He grabbed my hand as he packed away everything. I I slipped my flip-flops back on as I had let them fall off my feet.
Troy grabbed my hand as we were done with our picnic. "Come on now, we have somewhere to be."
The sun was setting as we traveled on a sailboat through the Atlantic Ocean. This was another one of Troy's surprises today, sailing through the blue ocean. "What is this all for?" I asked Troy as we sat at a small table. "Is there another anniversary I am missing?" I asked as my glass of wine came to my lips. "Nope, I thought it would just be nice."
"We go to Australia in six weeks," I purred into the light sky, he grinned, "That we do. We leave when Chad and Taylor get back." He said reaching over for my head. He massaged my ring finger with his hand. One day there will be a ring on that finger.
"Poor Liam is going to miss us for two weeks."
"Yea," Troy sighed, "I can't decide if I should have my parents come up here or have him stay down there." He ran his free hand through his hair. "We can think about it, talk to your parents and see how he reacts to being down there for a whole two weeks."
"Yea but this time he will be in a hotel," Troy started "but maybe we can give him to my parents for one night while we y'know." He said as he stood up he held his wine glass close to his body. He pulled me up to a stand position as music began to play. The water lapped onto the boat where we stood.
"You know you have everything planned out to every second." I whispered as I folded into his body. "Well I could tell you it was spontaneous but it wasn't." he smirked as the wine glass pressed against his lips. "I have had it planned since…forever." He said giving me a small grin.
We swayed to the soft music playing and the waves that we were crashing through. It could not have been more romantic, it was beautiful with the perfect dinner. "Forever huh?"
"I have had this day planned for as long as I could remember," he whispered into my ear, "Oh really? So when you were in kindergarten you had this day planned out?"
He took a moment to answer, "Yes." He whispered against my ear. I looked up towards the sky as I let a smile drift over my face. "You are too cute," I told him as he held me close, he dropped the subject as he kissed my lips. I saw we started to head the other direction back towards land.
"I can see our night slowly coming to an end." My hand rested on the back of his neck, "This night is not even close to over. Who do you think I am?" he whispered
"I think you are the boy who had this date planned for 18 years." I said winking at him, he chuckled and nodded his head. "Of course."
As the music changed, it came to You and I by Lady Gaga. "Awh, I love this song." I whispered into his ear, "I feel like it describes today."
"Just you and I." he said with a quick kiss onto the lips, "Only you and I." I giggled as I sang along to the song into his ear. "Sit back down where you belong,"
"Your voice is amazing, I feel like we are back out there on that stage singing to the crowd." Troy had his eyes closed as he smiled. "You are too damn cute," he mumbled
"When?" He gave a small smirk, "Everyday."
"Everyday of our lives,"
"I wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight." I finished as we gazed into each other's eyes. "I can not believe you remember that song." He said letting out a loose laugh. "I never forget it; it's just this constant memory floating through my head." I paused and licked my lips.
"Remember earlier when you asked me what my favorite memory was?" he nodded his head, "I was going to say that night at the Country Club after our blowout and then we sang together it was just amazing. That was what I going to say, I then thought about saying the day Liam was born, or our first date but…" I took a deep breath as I looked at him. "I would have to say today, today is my favorite memory."
Troy did not speak until a few minutes later as land came closer to us. "My favorite memory…" Troy started, "Is when I met you or when I found out you was pregnant with my baby or…" he drifted off into an unknown area. "I will tell you the other one a little later." He said kissing me.
He then let go of me, blowing out the candle that was sitting on the table. He started to collect all of the trash on the table before tossing it into the trashcan. He then proceeded to finish off the last of my wine. "We have one last stop for the night." He said as he looked at the sun that was starting to dip lower into the ocean.
I looked to see we were about 200 feet away from land. My eyes were focused on the sand before us. "So Whats up after the boat?" I asked as I adjusted my jacket on my shoulders.
"We are just going to lie on the beach, I am going to hold you and we are just going to be together," he told me as he nuzzled his nose against mine. I felt the wishful grin wash over my face, "I can't wait," my soft lips touched his as he set his wine glass down. He circled his arms around my waist as he pressed his lips harder against mine.
"You are amazing," he murmured as he pressed his lips against mine once more. I felt the boat come to a stop as we were back at the dock.
Troy pulled back to tip the guy who drove the boat. He came back over to me and put his hand on my lower back. He guided me away from the boat with the wine bottle in his hands.
"Are you trying to make me drunk?" I asked, as he refilled my glass, "No," he said stretching out the last part. I giggled as I brought the glass up to my lips. Troy then plopped down on the beach and I went down next to him. There were a couple and a few families wondering around. I fell back onto the sand, as did Troy. I buried my head into his shoulder as sand filled through my clothes.
We stayed quiet for a long time as it started to grow dark. The stars in the sky twinkled with a glow. "So anything else planned for the night?" I asked him, he did not talk but he shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know," he murmured, "From here on out its all…unplanned." He whispered trying not to break the peace around us.
Troy rubbed my shoulder for a moment before holding onto me. "You know what babe," he said, "I think we should have more children." He told me, I laughed aloud.
"Not for a few years," I told him as I dug my hands through the sand. "I know," he told me, "But just keep it in mind that I want more kids." He told me, "Alright well that will be noted in my notes." I joked with him, he laughed as he leaned up to look at me. "I feel like a teenager at the moment." He said
"What do you mean?" I asked but he did not respond with words. He rolled over to be on top of me, his elbows propping him up. His lips pressed against mine tightly that is when I got what he meant by he was feeling like a teenager. I let my fingers run through his hair as his tongue slipped into my mouth.
He massaged it softly while his hands rubbed my lower stomach as if I had cramps. His hand then floated up my shirts before touching the bottom of my bra strap. His lips came apart from mine, "Mhm, I love you." He told me as his hand tried to find the back of my bra strap.
"Troy," I warned as my eyes darted to the kids running around down the beach. "Oh come on, it's not like I'm asking you to go skinny dipping." He said as he fumbled with it some more, "Troy," I said to him a little more sharply, he quickly pulled back his hand from my shirt before rolling back over.
"Hey, I didn't say you have to stop kissing me." I told him as I propped up onto my elbows. His blue eyes glowed in the dark, as it was getting harder to see him but the moon began to glow brighter.
"Come on; let's go for a walk down the beach." He said standing up leaving everything, we have behide. Looking up at the sky, he gripped my hand as he pulled me up. I slipped my flip-flops off and I put them into my hand. Troy slipped his hand through mine as they still held that perfect fit.
The moon held the glow so you could see everything going on in front of you. The stars gazed through the area as if we were standing in the country. "This seems to be the most perfect night." I told him as I leaned against him as we walked through the soft sand that tickled in-between my toes.
"Well I did have the weather figured out for 18 years," he joked, "Wait I thought this was…unplanned?" I asked him. "Well," he scratched the back of his neck with his free hand, "this part was not." He told me as we walked further down the beach. There were no lights around the area and I looked at Troy's face.
"You know, I think I am in love with you. I confessed my love for you our senior year. You were so shocked I thought I would never hear it back from you and it was over. Our relationship was over." He laughed as a wave washed over our feet. "I felt so panicked right after I said it." His eyes shined, "Then you said it right back to me. It had to be the most musical thing ever until I heard Liam's heartbeat." Troy's eyes glanced towards the ocean then up to the moon.
"I never thought we would make it that far and now six years later we are still dating. We are most overly in love with each other and I never want that to end." Troy said with a small shrug, "What is this all about?" I asked him
"You and I," his voice was soft as his lips leant down to press against mine. "I love you too Troy," I told him as I grinned into the night sky. Troy squeezed my hand, "Do you remember when you accepted to Stanford but after a semester we couldn't be apart any longer?" Troy asked me.
I felt as if I glanced back at that day I was in tears. I was on my dorm floor in tears.
Flashback
"Gabi I will be back in two days so we can drive back together!" my roommate called out from the door. I looked back at her as she opened the bedroom door.
"Have fun," I mumbled, as I did not let my eyes leave the book in front of me. "I am going to stay with my boyfriend for two days before heading back home. It's going to be a blast!" she shouted, I waved my hand as I felt a tightness in my chest, I hadn't seen my boyfriend since Halloween and it was almost Christmas break.
"Hey you okay?" she asked me, I finally looked up at her. "Just a big test tomorrow." I said with a half smile, it was hard being away from Troy. I missed Troy like no other. We were not used to being away like this; I did not want to be away from him like this.
"Alright, well I will see you in two days."
She walked out of the door and I slumped back into my chair. I slipped my glasses off my face as I suddenly felt like crying. Troy and I talked for every on the phone. Talked on Skype all the time and we were not counting this as time apart. I slumped over my desk and I rubbed my eyes. I looked at the book I had been trying to read for over an hour and I did not comprehend half of it. I pushed it off my desk with a frustrated groan.
Why, why did I have to come back to this stupid school after semester break? Tears dropped down my cheeks as I felt my body start to slowly give away from all the stress I was under. I felt heavy sobs leave my throat as I slide off the chair onto my dorm floor. I pulled my knees up to my chest and I cried.
I rocked back and forth, as I tried to keep calm. "Oh my," I looked up to see Troy standing in the doorway with a bouquet of roses. I felt too stunned to stand up but Troy was by my side in seconds. "Hey Brie," he rubbed my shoulder as I threw my arms around him.
"Oh baby," he whispered into my ear, "I missed you." He told me, "I missed you too," I tried to stop crying but it kept coming. I could not decide anymore if they were happy or sad. "I can't go to school here anymore." I cried
"Why?" he asked me
"I need you. I really need you; I miss you all the time. I can't go months without seeing you in person." I sniffled as I tried to catch my breath. "Then don't go back to school. Transfer to UCLA and come with me," he said
His lips kissed mine, "I'm in love with you."
End of Flashback
"We erased those small months from our lives never counting them apart." Troy whispered gently into my ear, I swallowed hard as I knew that it was true. People knew about it but we denied it, it is as I went to UCLA my whole life.
"Yea, I can't believe how long it's been since that." I said as my hand floated to my stomach, "We've had Liam and its just," I could not find the words to express the feelings.
"You know I've never finished talking about what we were talking about earlier." He said as he stopped on the beach. "Talking about what?"
"My longing love for you," he said with a grin on his face. "Oh really," I said.
"Yeah," he paused as if he was collecting all of his thoughts. "I knew I was in love with you in our junior year. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know if you were ready."
"Then I knew when you were about to leave for Stanford and never coming back I felt like, I knew I had to say something. I was so scared that our relationship was officially over." He let out a small laugh, "But you said it right back to me and I was so happy. I just wanted to swing you around forever." He smiled towards me as I felt small tears in my eyes.
"Then you decided to turn down the early thing to Stanford and you stayed with me. When you finally went to Stanford it was hard for both of us, I'm happy that you decided to come to UCLA." Troy's face shined off from the moon, "I felt like our life began when you stepped foot into my dorm room."
I giggled as I thought of the day where I sat down my bags and collapsed onto his bed. "We moved in together and it was perfect." I felt my heartstrings tug as we stopped walking once again. "I don't my life to ever end with you Brie," he let go of my hand as I gave him a soft smile.
"I don't any other guy looking at you or saying things about you. I want you to be mine forever." He then dropped down to one knee. I felt a shock run through my system as tears flooded my eyes.
"Oh Troy," I said my breathing picking up; he looked up with his hair in his eyes. He brought the box out of his pocket and popped it open.
"Will you marry me?" His voice carried through the wind as I felt tears dropping off my face. "Yes," I whispered, "Yes!" I screamed I jumped onto Troy as he lifted me up to hug my tight to his chest. I sobbed into his shoulder, as I felt completely surprised by this whole day. Troy sat me back down onto my feet and slipped the beautiful ring onto my finger. The band was cold against my finger as I brought it close to my eye.
"Troy, it's beautiful." I murmured as I looked at the rock on my finger. It had to be a 2.5 carat and the diamonds were wrapped around the band. "I'm glad you like it," he whispered as he kissed my lips. I let my arms wrap around his neck and I felt tears slip through my eyes again.
"Thank you," I said into his ear, "Gabi I have had this planned since before Liam was born. I have had our engagement planned forever and when you kept bugging me about it was hard not to do it then." He said letting his hand cup my cheeks. "I knew I wanted to bring you down here where I came our junior year, I sat here thinking about you on the rocks before I flew home to be with you more." He showed tears in his eyes. "This is where I wanted it to be,"
I pushed forward to let my lips hit his, I bit on his lip and he hugged my tight to his chest. I felt happy, I felt alive and I was so happy. I never wanted to let go of this moment. I pulled back from Troy as I grabbed my camera from my pocket. I turned it on before snapping picture of us two on the beach so I could never forget this moment.
"I love you," Troy told me as he pressed his lips against mine, "I love you too," I told his I suddenly felt like a new person with a ring on my finger, a ring that mattered.
"Here, let me see the ring for a second." Troy told me, I gave him a curious look. "I swear if this was for nothing I will kill you." I tell him with a small laugh. "Nah, I just want to show you something." I slipped my ring off my finger but before I handed it to him, I knew what he wanted to show me.
Everyday of our lives. I want to hold you tight.
It was small and it wrapped around the whole ring but it was beautiful. "Oh my," I whispered as I looked at the words once more. "You made sure everything that happened today was memorable."
"In every single way," he said, I brushed the tears away as Troy looked at me. "And my other favorite moment? Would be right now," I pursed my lips together, "That was the other one?" he nodded his head, "Damn, I love you." I whispered pressing my lips against his. I grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket. I took a picture of the ring to send it to Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi. I felt a rush of energy run through my blood. "Let's go to a hotel!" I jumped onto his back, "Good thing you mentioned that since we have a reservation at the top of,"
"No more talking," I whispered, "Just go."
I looked up at my fiancées eyes. They were closed and sleeping peacefully, I giggled, as he was my fiancé. I had not touched my phone since sending a picture of my ring to Sharpay and the rest of them. I reached over to my bag to pick up my iPhone. Messages were waiting.
From Sharpay:
Oh. My. God! TROY BOLTON PROPOSED TO YOU!
I giggled as it was a shock, but I could not feel any happy about that.
From Taylor:
Hang on…I think I just died! Troy Boy Proposed?
A bigger grin spread over my face as I knew it was officially and I did not want to wait very long to get married. I just wanted to be Mrs. Bolton.
From Kelsi:
Ahhhhh! NO WAY?
I felt my fingers tingle as I wanted to call them all right now but it was early in California. I wrapped my arms around Troy's waist and the only thing that could be perfect was if Liam was here.
"Troy," I said shaking his shoulder a little bit, "Hmm?" he asked flipping over onto his back. "Let's go back to the beach house." I whispered.
"Already?" he asked, "I miss Liam," I confessed, "Alright, well one last time." He said rolling on top of me, "No," I told him as I set up dragging the sheet with me. "What?" he said sitting up too, "Was five times last night not enough?" I asked, "That was last night, we were celebrating our engagement last night, this morning I just want you."
I slipped my underwear back on as I dropped the sheet around me. I fixed my bra strap as I turned to look at him. "I know but all I want is my baby and to show off to your family." I said as I slipped on my shorts. "The only people that know are my dad." He told me, "I told him not to tell anybody. I had to tell him why I needed him to watch Liam for the night."
I smiled, "Fine, but lets go!" I squealed, I picked up Troy's bottom up white shirt and put it on. "What am I supposed to wear back to the house?"
"I know you have an extra shirt Mr. I planned everything." He laughed, "Your right, I have an extra shirt." He teased as he got up to slip on his boxers. I watched before I picked up my sweater before I looked at Troy who slipped on his khakis shorts. He zipped the zipper before turning to me. "Come here," he said
I walked over to him as he slipped his arms around my waist. "Can I just have five minutes alone with you?" he wondered
"You have had twenty four hours alone with me," I told him with a smirk, "Sharpay and the rest of the girls were shocked." I told him, "Oh Chad knew also but that was Chad." I nodded, "I love you, now let's go!" I said trying to drag him out. He shook his head laughing, "Fine now come on."
I held my Starbucks cup in my hand as I walked towards the front door. Troy kept his hand inlocked with mine. I pushed the front door open as I heard everybody in the kitchen. I looked at my hand that Troy played with the ring on my finger.
"Where did you get it?" I asked him
"Tiffany Company," he said, I felt a little shocked knowing that it had to be expensive. We walked into the dining area and everybody looked up. "Look who it is! Troy and Gabi where the hell did you to go?" Anthony said, I looked at Troy and we both nodded.
"Well we had a busy day yesterday." Troy said as he let go of my hand. I switched my coffee to my other hand. I then walked over to the table to set it down on the table in front of Jillian.
"No." she said looking up at me with her wide blue eyes, "oh my god!" she screamed, she jumped onto me as she hugged me tight. Troy and I both began to laugh as she hugged us. "Oh my, congrats!" she said pulling back, "What?" people around the table asked.
"Gabi and Troy got engaged!" she said to them all, Troy and I shared a look before we were mobbed with Jenni and Lucille. "Oh my God! My big brother finally had the guts to propose!" Jenni said clapping and I gave her a big hug. Lucille was crying as Troy gave her a hug.
"Troy! Why didn't you tell me!" she yelled at him, he shrugged his shoulders as aunts, uncles, and cousins all came up to give hugs and congratulate us. They asked to see the ring and were all shocked by it.
"Where is my baby boy?" I asked, but once I asked, I turned around to find Jenni holding him. "Hi buddy," I said as I picked him up. He stuck his tongue out and he cried. "Oh buddy," I said bouncing him in my arms, I placed my ring hand his head and he quieted.
"It's finally perfect," I mumbled as the family began to drift back to the table. Troy and I walked off to the living room as my lips pressed against his tiny forehead. Troy hugged us both. "It's just You and I."
"And Liam." I said with a smile, he nodded, "It's you and I plus Liam."
