Chapter 14

Gabriella could feel the bass of the music pumping from the club as she sat in the limo. Her eyes wandered out the tinted window as she stared at the bouncers who stood in front of the club and the endless line that started from the door and reached to the corner. She could see the men and women holding cameras and taking pictures. She sighed as she saw those people who constantly liked to invade her privacy, she knew by showing up with Troy they were bound to see their names on the headlines the following day. Gabriella's thoughts were interrupted as she felt a strong hand squeeze her thigh softly. A tingling sensation began to erupt her body as she turned her face and locked eyes with piercing blue ones.

"You okay?" Troy asked lowly.

Gabriella nodded trying to give him a reassuring smile before leaning forward to press her lips upon his own. "More than okay." She whispered as she pulled away.

Troy smiled cupping the side of her face before leaning in.

"OKAY YOU TWO! Enough! You've been kissy and touchy the whole way. Lets get out of this limo and go into the club." Sharpay stated.

"There is a ton of paparazzi out there Shar." Gabriella sighed.

"So? Afraid they're gonna see you with Troy boy here?" Sharpay looked back.

"No..well..I don't know.." Gabriella's eyes returned to the club.

"Listen Gabs..You're single now! You're allowed to do whatever the hell you want and date whoever the hell you want! It's your life not theirs. So what if you like Troy now and he happens to be your ex-fiancee's brother. It's your life! People are soon going to found out about you two...so who gives a damn if they find out now." Sharpay smiled.

Gabriella took in a deep breathe and nodded. "I guess your right."

"Of corse I am! Now lets go shake our asses!" Sharpay smirked opening the limo door.

Gabriella turned to look at Troy who was staring at her intently. She felt her cheeks flush slightly as she leaned in once more to place her lips upon his.

"Don't worry Brie. It's just you and me now." Troy mumbled against her lips.

Gabriella looked at him with a small smile over her lips. "Just you and me."

Gabriella intertwined her fingers with Troy as she got out of the limo being blinded by tons of flashing lights that were being shot at her. She felt Troy's hand grip hers tightly as he got out as well. She followed him as he took the lead and led her out of the mob of paparazzi and into the club.

The club was radiating with music and darkness, only strobe lights were flashing and there were tons of people dancing. They had dancers on these ropes which reminded Gabriella of strippers but they had alittle more clothing on than your average stripper. Gabriella felt her self being led through a crowd of people and up some stairs until they finally reached their destination. As they entered the Vip booth, she was greeted by a couple of other celebrities she had known before getting settled.

"What would you like to drink?" Sharpay asked.

"Just give me an apple martini." Gabriella answered.

"And you Troy?" Shar asked.

"Just a corona would be fine." He replied.

Gabriella took a seat on the lounge and Troy followed.

"Did I mentioned how beautiful you look tonight?" Troy whispered in her ear.

Gabriella giggled. "Yes mulitple times already."

"Well you look beautiful Brie." He said.

Gabriella bit her bottom lip as she stared at him, wanting nothing more than to feel those lips of his.

"Here you two go!" Sharpay said bringing them their drinks along with two shots.

"Thanks, are those your shots." Gabriella mumbled taking a sip of her drink.

"Uh no. There mine and yours." Sharpay smiled.

Gabriella's eyes widen. "Shar."

"Come on Gabs you need to loosen up." Sharpay grinned. "Now bottoms up!" She shot her shot back.

Gabriella sighed glaring at the small little glass that was contained with a toxic fluid. "What is this Bacardi or Vodka?"

"Vodka. Now come on drink it so we can dance." Sharpay said.

Gabriella grabbed the small thing examining it before shutting her eyes and shooting it back. "Yuck!"

Sharpay smiled deviously. "Now lets go! Leave Troy boy here we'll come back for him."

Gabriella turned her head to Troy. "You'll be okay with me leaving you here alone?"

Troy smiled and nodded. "Go on babe I'll be fine."

She bit her bottom lip and kissed his cheek softly before following Shar down the stairs and onto the crowded dance floor.

Countless shots later and dancing non-stop Gabriella definitely lost track of the time she had spent on the dance floor. All she knew was that after the third shot she had took with Sharpay she was definitely loosened her up and ready to have fun. She could feel the toxins running through her body, clouding up her sober brain. Gabriella completely forgot about every worry that surrounded her brain before, all she cared about at this moment was dancing her ass off.

"Gaabsy come onn! I left my purseee at Vip!" Sharpay yelled a bit slurred.

Gabriella giggled as Sharpay pulled her arm and they both stumbled up the staircase leading to the vip section. As they reach the top Gabriella eyes squinted through the darkness searching around for Sharpay's purse but she wineded up finding something else she had totally forgot about.

"TROYYYY!" Gabriella yelled giggling. She unattached her arm from Shar's as she stumbled across to Troy.

"Hey there beautiful you okay?" He smiled pulling her petite body into his awaiting amrs.

"Troyyy ohh I missed you!" she slurred kissing his neck softly.

Troy bit his bottom lip softly smirking down at her. "I missed you more."

Gabriella shook her head before leaning up to press their lips into a lustful kiss. As their tongues glided against one anothers seductively, Gabriella could feel the heat building up down at her core. She could feel the moisture and throbbing begin to form. She couldn't help but want to relieve that pleasure that was forming down their, and most of all she wanted the man in her arms to help her relieve that pleasure. She pushed Troy towards the lounges till his ass finally connected with the cushion. She then straddled him, sitting on top of his lap never breaking the kiss.

"Babe what are you doing?" Troy chuckled whispering against her lips.

"Shhhhh no talking just kissing." She cooed him locking their lips once more.

Troy chuckled kissing her back softly before pulling away and looking into her eyes. "Brie you're drunk."

"Nooooo I'm not." Gabriella looked back giggling slightly.

"Yes you are. I saw you and Shar both taking shots." He laughed.

"Ooopsss!" She giggled.

"Come on I think we should take you home." Troy kissed her forehead lifting himself and her up into a standing position.

"You'reee coming home tooo right Troyy?" Gabriella looked up at him slurring through her words.

Troy couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable the girl he was falling for was. "Yes I am."

Gabriella clapped her hands together. "YAYYY!"

Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand along with her clutch in his other and began heading for the stairs down to the exit. He kept holding Gabriella up as she continuously stumbled over her feet and kept giggling. He decided to carry her bridal style as they both exited the club. Flashing lights again began blinding Troy as he tried to get himself and Gabriella away from them, he began hailing a cab as these obnoxious men with cameras continued questioning him and taking pictures. Finally after what seemed like forever Troy placed Gabriella into a cab and then himself right after, he gave the driver directions and then sat back sighing softly.

"Troy..." Gabriella spoke softly.

He looked over seeing Gabriella's eyes shutting slowly, he pulled her body closer to his wrapping an arm around her. "Yes Brie?"

Gabriella snuggled her head closer into his chest. "I love you..." she whispered.

Troy's eyes immediately widen as his heart dropped. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, he was speechless. As he looked down at the raven haired female on his chest he noticed she had fallen asleep. He swept alittle bit of hair out of her face analyzing the three words she had just said, most importantly he was analyzing if she meant it and if he felt the same.

The cab came to a stop in front of the house and Troy paid off the driver before getting out of the car with Gabriella sleeping in his arms. He unlocked the front door entering the quiet dark house, he shut the door locking it and began making his way up the stairs into the master bedroom. Troy turned on the lamp placing the sleeping beauty on the bed nice and softly and began removing her heels.

"Troyy?" Gabriella spoke.

"Yes?" Troy answered.

"You staying here with me right?" She question in a soft voice.

"Yes only if you want me to." He said.

"Yes." she stated.

Troy began removing his shirt until he saw Gabriella stumble out of bed and over to her dresser, he watched intently as she removed the dress she had wore leaving her upper body bare. His eyes wandered over her firm breast, down to her smooth stomach that held her belly button piercing. His eyes then wandered down to her creamy colored lacy thong that highlighted her olive toned skin and complimented her ass. Troy could feel his manhood rise and stand. He desperately wanted to walk over there and ravish her, kiss every part of her perfect body, but Troy new she was intoxicated and he wanted her to be sober if they ever were intimate.

"Like what you see?" Gabriella giggled softly giving Troy full view of her bare body before slipping a t-shirt over it.

Troy's cheeks flushed as he continued to undress himself. He didn't notice nor hear Gabriella come towards him and once he looked up from unbuckling his jeans, she was there standing infront of him. He watched as her eyes now wandered his bare chest, taking every peck and ab in. Gabriella then began sliding down his jeans all the way to his ankles. Troy stepped out of them before looking back into Gabriella's eyes. She then leaned up and kissed him furiously, her tongue begged for entrance and Troy granted it to her. He scooped her up in his arms and began moving her to the bed placing her down and climbing ontop of her. Gabriella moaned as Troy kissed the side of her neck. He felt her hands wander his body down to his briefs. Her small soft hand then slipped into his briefs grasping his member.

"You're soo hard.." Gabriella whispered seductively.

Troy felt himself about to explode as then rational parts of in his brain returned. "Gabriella we-we can't do this."

She began placing kisses on his neck. "Why not?"

Troy's eyes widen as he tried to swallow a lump of saliva down his throat. "B-because y-you're drunk."

Gabriella sighed slightly removing her hand from his briefs, she then moved from under him and turned her body over. Troy sighed as he watched her give him her back. He shut off the lamp and returned back into the bed. He began closing his eyes and to let sleep overtake his conscience but all he could think about was what Gabriella had said to him in the cab. He wanted to know so badly if she meant it or not. He needed to know, he just needed to. As Troy felt himself finally drifting off, he felt a petite arm wrap around his stomach and a body move closer to him. He smiled softly to himself as Gabriella placed her head on his chest. Troy took that moment to wrap an arm around her securely and soon found himself drifting off to sleep a lot easier than before.
