Chapter 8

Troy threw the petite Latina on the queen sized bed smirking as her giggles echoed his room. He leaned his body on top of hers holding himself up slightly to not pressure her small body with his weight. Just seeing the look of lust and desire in her eyes drove Troy wild. He felt himself began to harden as he looked down from those chocolate brown orbs to her neck. He leaned his face in beginning to nip and suck along the side of that bare area. Small moans crept out of her mouth as his nipping increased, he was sure that she would be bruised by the time he was done. He felt her tiny smooth delicate hands run down his broad back which sent shivers down his spine.

"Troy" she moaned softly.

He let his hands fall upon on one of Gabriella's small breast, he squeezed them softly as another moan escaped her pink plum lips.

"Troy" she moaned but the sound was growing low.

"Brie." He breathed out as he began to her another sound fill his ears.

"Brie..." he groaned.

And suddenly Troy's eyes fluttered open as the anonymous sound only got louder and he soon realized that sound was the ringtone of his phone. He groaned rubbing his eyes agitated that he was awaking from such an amazing dream. He leaned over grabbing his phone from the bedside table without taking a look at the screen.

"Hello?" he answered groggily.

"Hey..." the small soft voice filled his earphone.

A smile began to form over his thin lips as he replied realizing who was on the other line. "Brie... how are you?"

"I'm okay.. did I wake you? Were you sleeping?" She asked concern.

Troy shuffled from his bed rising up. "No no it's alright seriously. What's up are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine Troy.. I-..I just wanted to see what you were up to today.."

Troy smiled into the phone. "Not much really... have anything planned?"

"Well...I kinda need some manly help around my house and I was wondering if you're not busy.. if you'd mind helping me?" She asked softly.

Troy chuckled. "Of corse I'd love to help you with anything."

"Oh good." Gabriella giggled lightly. "Well I don't have to be in to work till tonight due to we're filming some night scenes but you are welcomed to come at noon. I could make us lunch or whatever."

"Sounds great Brie.. I'll see you at 1 then." he smiled.

"Okay see you at 1 Troy."

Troy hung up his cellphone with the cheesiest smile across his face, he was happy that today he was going to spend some time with the raven haired girl who he constantly fantasized about. Troy arose from the bed glancing over at the time realizing he had about 2 hours till he was able to see her. He walked over to the bathroom and began to shower getting himself ready.

Gabriella set down her cellphone sighing as she realized what she had done. The real reason she called Troy was that she really wanted to see him. She wanted to feel those amazing feelings he gave her just from a simple touch and she just wanted be in the blue eye stud's presence. She knew she couldn't just go out there and tell him that she wanted to see him, she felt as if she had to make up an excuse for Troy to come over just so she could be able to spend sometime with him.

For Gabriella, this was all getting complicated. She constantly told herself and knew that she shouldn't be feeling the way she felt for Troy and she shouldn't be seeing him but Gabriella just couldn't help her feelings, Troy made her feel different. He made her feel special, he liked her for her, he listened to her when she spoke, and the way he kissed her was just unexplainable. She never felt this way for any man she ever had an encounter with. And she knew Troy was special, he was unique and he was just someone she wasn't going to able to just let go of easily.

Troy looked at himself in the mirror before approving his appearance one last time. He ran his fingers through his chestnut soft shaggy hair fixing it once more before finally feeling satisfied. He grabbed his car keys and cell phone walking out of his room and down the stairs.

"Troy?" Austin questioned

Troy sighed rolling his eyes and making his way into the lounge. "What?"

"Mom and Dad are coming here to visit tomorrow." Austin informed Troy.

"Okay." Troy said.

Austin continued reading his newspaper. "We'll probably go out for dinner or something you know how mom is. But, I'm thinking of inviting Gabriella since I haven't told Mom nor Dad that we've broke up."

Troy rolled his crystal blue orbs once more. "Okay."

"Is that all you're going to say?" Austin glared at him.

"Um well what do you want me to say?" Troy arched an eyebrow.

Austin sighed heavily before moving his intense gaze from Troy to the paper. "Whatever."

Troy shook his head heading out the front door and into his car that was parked along the driveway. He got in starting the ignition and speeding off into the direction of Gabriella's house.

Gabriella glanced at the clock once more before making another quesadilla. Her stomach was turning inside round and round' she was anxious, excited and especially nervous. The guy she couldn't stop thinking about was in fact on his way to come 'help her out' around the house. What a lame excuse she used, she thought to herself. As she finished making the last quesadilla her doorbell rang echoeing through to the kitchen. Her heart thumpt at the noise knowing exactly who it was. She shut the stove on placing the last quesadilla on the plate along with the rest she had made. She quickly wiped her hands making her way to the front door. Gabriella glanced down at her wardrobe choice making sure she looked okay before she opened the door staring at the blue eyes she longed for.

Troy smiled softly as he looked down at the petite latina standing at the doorway. He couldn't help but feel a warmth of sensation cover his heart. "Hey.."

Gabriella returned the smile before saying. "Hey Troy... come in." She gestured for him to enter the house and with that gestured he followed.

Troy walked in glancing around at her home smiling as he noticed she had added more to it making it feel more cozy. "Wow.. you really did an amazing job it looks very good Brie."

Gabriella shut the door turning her attention to him and smiling. "Thanks I put in a lot of effort." she giggled softly.

"Ha well it paid off." He smirked.

"Are you hungry? I just finished making quesadillas for us." she said softly.

Troy patted his stomach smirking. "I'm starving."

Gabriella giggled making her way to the kitchen with Troy following behind her. She grabbed the plate filled with quesadilla and handed it to Troy then opened her refridgerator. "What would you like to drink? Water? Juice? Soda?"

"Water is fine." He smiled.

She grabbed two bottles of water before heading to the dinning room. She took a seat and Troy followed taking a seat next to her.

"So tell me what's going on in your life right now?" Gabriella asked taking a bite of her quesadilla.

Troy chewed before answering. "Well my court date is in less than two weeks and it is to declare what would be given to each of us... she's been making up these lies about how I've cheated on her to make her look like the victim."

Gabriella frowned chewing on her food. "That's not right."

Troy nodded in agreement. "It isn't."

"I kind of understand how you feel.. it's crazy because you think you know that person that you love but you don't.. you begin to see their true colors and there totally different from how they portrayed themselves to be at the beginning. And it's like you wonder if it was all a lie.. and if that was their intentions to act like someone they're not... just to be with you.." she spoke softly.

Troy looked at her intently before speaking. "That's exactly what I've been thinking. It was like her feelings for me were a lie... I begin to think that she never truly loved or cared about me.."

Gabriella nodded. "I know... that's how I feel about the whole situation with Austin. He cheated on me.. like I think that there must of been something I did wrong for him to want to cheat on me.. and then when he got so angry that I saw this whole different person it was like I didn't even know who that man was because I always known Austin to be caring and loving. I didn't know the man who grabbed me like he did..."

Troy's face filled with confusion. "He grabbed you?"

Gabriella fell silent as she realized what she had said. Truthfully she hadn't told anyone about Austin grabbing her and throwing her against the wall. She had not even told her best friend Sharpay. She was frighten about it, everytime she thought about that part it made her feel uneasy sending her chills through her olive skin. She looked down and began fiddling with the half eaten quesadilla she held in her hands. She was internally yelling at herself for letting out that piece of information she didn't want anyone to know. She felt a finger fall under her small chin lifting her face up, her eyes arose slowly as the once again looked at the blue orbs which were now filled with confusion and fury.

"Did he grab you Brie?" He once more asked but this time in a firm tone.

Gabriella felt the water from within her eyes begin to thicken more. She closed her eyes noddingly slightly as a tear or two slipped through her closed as and began cascading down her cheeks.

Troy looked at her feeling sympathy but also feeling anger rise within him. How could someone put there hands on this beautiful girl he was so fond for. He just couldn't bear to think of what he would do to his brother now knowing that he had violently put his hands on the petite female. Troy wiped her wet cheeks with his thumbs cupping her heart shapped face. He watched as she reopened her eyes looking into his own.

"Please don't-..don't tell him that you know Troy..please..I didn't want anyone to know.." she whispered begging him.

Troy closed his eyes tightly taking in deep breathes before opening them and nodding slightly. "Okay.." It was going to take lots of self control for Troy not to just lunge out at Austin causing him physical pain like he caused Gabriella but if that was what she wanted he was going to obey and listen.

Gabriella looked at him intently through her watery eyes, trying to read his expression. She saw all close their faces were and her gut feeling was telling her to lean up kiss him. She was debating between her brain and her gut. Her brain was telling her to move away and have no physical contact with the blue eyed man but her gut was telling her to kiss him and feel his body against her own. Her eyes moved from Troy's lips to his eyes again and again.

Troy looked down at her seeing her deep in thought he noticed how she moved her eyes from his lips to his gaze. He caught on realizing that she was either thinking about kissing him or really uncomfortable. He wanted to lay his lips upon her own but didn't want to cross the line especially if that wasn't exactly what she wanted. So he stood still with his hands still cupping her face and there faces just inches apart.

Gabriella realized that he obviously wasn't going to make a move which made her slightly upset inside but she decided that she would take matters into her own hands and make the move herself. She took a deep breathe before her eyes finally landed on his thin lips making her final decision. She began moving her face forward leaning upward to attach her desperate acheing lips onto his own.

Troy saw how close she was getting and finally took the hint to what she wanted. He quickly closed the space between them uniting their lips in a soft blissful kiss. He held her face making sure this wasn't a dream and that she wasn't going to leave anywhere. He began to kiss her soft and lovingly before her mouth open slightly letting him slip his tongue into the warmth and wetness of her small mouth. He felt her tongue against he own as their lips still moved in unison and their tongues glided smoothly against one another.

Gabriella let the quesadilla fall onto the floor letting her hands touch the side of his body pulling him closer to her. The sparks within her body were going crazy, she was feeling all these wonderful sensations flow through her. She began to deepen the kiss between them pulling him closer and closer to her. She was desperate to feel his body against hers. To feel the warmth and hardness of his chest, arms and abs around her petite body.

Troy took Gabriella's eagerness as an opportunity, he lifted himself up slowly letting his arms around around her small body and lifting her up off the ground. Troy didn't break their heated kiss as he began to walk from the dinning room table. He felt her slender legs wrap around his waist pressing them closer together. Troy leant her against the wall still holding her, she wrapped her arms around his neck as Troy broke the intense kiss in need for some oxygen. He looked into her eyes to see the brown orbs filled with desire and lust. Troy began to trail small kiss from her jaw down to her neck. He kissed her neck continuously hearing her breathe sharpen.

Suddenly Gabriella's phone began to ring. Troy groaned at the interruption. He pulled back letting his grip on her go slowly. Gabriella's feet hit the grown softly. And she made her way towards where to sound was coming from. She walked into the kitchen and looked at the caller ID sighing before answering it.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey Gabriella it's me.."

"Hey Austin.." She spoke softly.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm okay... just doing some fixing up around my house. Is everything okay?" She asked lying through her teeth.

He sighed. "Well yeah everything is fine but my parents are coming to LA to visit tomorrow and I quite haven't told them about us no longer together and I was wondering if you were interested in coming because I know if I tell them my parents would just bash me and I- I'm just not ready to tell them yet about us."

Gabriella sighed hearing what he had said, she suddenly felt two strong familar arm encase around her waist from behind and felt a sense of relief before she spoke. "Austin.. I don't know honestly. That's a big favor and I just can't lie to your mom or dad."

Troy instantly knew who she was on the phone with and what they were discussing about. He held her tightly against his trying to listen in on what Austin had to say.

"I understand... well would you just atleast consider it thinking about it.. and let me know." he sighed.

"Fine I'll think about it but there's no gurantee Austin."

"I understand. Thank you Gabriella." Austin said genuinely.

"Okay Bye." Gabriella pressed end. She sighed coming back to reality and leaned back against Troy. She felt his lips against her hair placing a kiss.

"So where did you need my help with?" Troy grinned trying to change the topic.

Gabriella giggled softly. "Yes that's right well I need you to put new light bulbs in my bathroom."

Troy let go of her slowly taking a step back. "Lead the way my darling." He grinned.
