Chapter 21

Gabriella's eyes widen, "What?"

"What!" Sharpay yelled from behind the corner where she had been spying.

Troy and Gabriella still in the same position turned their heads to glare at Sharpay and said in unison, "Do you mind?"

Sharpay put her hands on her hips, "yes" she said as a matter of fact.

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "too bad" she said as she grabbed Troy's hand and pulled him out the back entrance.

Sharpay huffed and turned to Zeke, "some appreciation. Juliette gets her prince and I don't even get a," thanks Shar you are the best, you saved my life, you're like the smartest most bestest person ever."

Zeke furrowed his brow, "I thought Juliette got Romeo and Cinderella got the prince"

Sharpay shrugged and waved her hand, "Whatever. I meant the one that doesn't have someone dying"

Zeke laughed, "okay"

Sharpay wrapped her arms around Zeke's waist, "so, I have an idea."

Zeke grinned, "I'm listening"

"Well, I was thinking that since I have been such a do-gooder these days that I deserve a reward"

"Uh huh and what might that be?"

"Well, you remember the video of that talent show I was in back in high school that I made you watch the other night.

Zeke's eyes got wide and his face turned pale, "no Shar. I am not dressing up as a frog and sing that humma wumma whatever song."

Sharpay stomped and crossed her arms, "well, why not?"

"Because it's just weird"

"Ugh, soooo not!"

"Come on Shar let's just go home and have sex the normal way, without costumes and yelling take one, take two and cut, I need a do over." He said with frustration.

Sharpay scrunched her brow, "but costumes are fun"

"So is being us" Zeke said sweetly.

Sharay grinned, "So I could pretend to be me and you could pretend to you. Oh yes, this will work. It will be my best acting to date for sure"

Zeke shook his head as he laughed and said to himself, "close enough"

Gabriella led Troy to a bench that was located just down the street from Prestige.

"Now that looney tunes is out of ear shot…..What?" she said with a little laugh.

Troy smiled and took her hands in his. He stood and moved in front of her.

Gabriella's breath caught in her throat and tears began to form in her eyes as a she bit her bottom lip.

Troy smiled at her as he got down on one knee, "Gabriella Montez, I knew from the moment I laid eyes on you that you were something special. Every minute I spend with you I cherish and am thankful for. You challenge me and make me want to achieve greatness. I love you and I can't imagine my life without you. I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you always. You are my match. Marry me Gabriella."

Gabriella wiped the tears from her eyes and threw her body onto Troy's, causing him to fall back onto the concrete. She connected their lips immediately, ignoring the fact that they were laying on the ground. She sucked back some of the tears so that she could speak, "yes," she screamed.

Troy pressed his lips to hers as he grinned. He rested his forehead against her's and kissed her nose, "come on, let's go. I have something for you"

"Okay hubby" Gabriella let slip out.

Troy smiled, "I like the sound of that."

"Yeah me too, and I'm not going to let Sharpay ruin it."

Troy looked at her with confusion.

Gabriella shook her head, "she has been calling you, hubby, husband, hubby to be, anything really that has that word in it or alludes to it"

Troy laughed and leaned in and kissed her, "she's a special one"

"Uh yeah, she is going to be beside herself when she finds out that I said yes"

Troy wrapped his arms around her, "well, let's wait a few days, because I don't plan on letting you out of my site for the next 48 hours."

Gabriella grinned seductively, "oh really?"

Troy kissed her hard, "yes really, now come on I still have something I want to give you"

Gabriella and Troy walked into his apartment. Gabriella made her way to the den and sat on the couch and Troy followed.

He bent down and kissed her sweetly on the lips, "I'm going to go into the bedroom and when I call for you I want you to come in, okay?"

Gabriella narrowed her eyes and smirked, "um okay?"

Troy grinned and made his way to the bedroom.

Ten minutes later Gabriella heard Troy call for her. When she entered his bedroom and grinned widely when she saw him. He was wearing nothing but blue and white striped pajama pants. She couldn't help but admire his bare sculptured back as he lit the candle on the window seal.

Gabriella felt her temperature rise. She knew Troy had an amazingly sexy body, but right now just looking at him made her tingle all over.

Troy turned around and grinned at her, "come here baby"

Gabriella did as she was told and Troy met her half way. He encircled her waist in his arms and rested his forehead against hers, "you were checking me out weren't you?" he said as he looked into her eyes.

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "well, you are hot" she said as she looked him up and down slowly.

Troy lifted her chin up and grinned at her before bringing his lips to capture hers. His hands moved from her waist slowly up her sides, finally resting in her hair. He tangled his fingers in her long locks as he deepened the kiss. Troy dropped one hand from her hair to the zipper of her dress. He pulled away and looked into Gabriella passion fill eyes. He licked his lips as he slowly unzipped her dress. He never let his eyes drift from hers until he heard the dress fall to the ground in a heap. Troy took a step back and admired the body and the woman that would be his forever.

Gabriella bit her swollen lips as she watched his hungry eyes take her in.

"God, baby you kill me when you do that," he said with a grunt. He approached her fast with need and he pushed her against the post of the foot board. His breathing becoming more and more erratic as the inevitable of their naked bodies connecting came closer to reality. He placed his hand under the base of her neck and kissed her with all the love and need he had been feeling for the past week.

"I've missed you so much Baby" he said as he captured her neck with his tongue and thrust his pelvis into her passion soaked panties.

Gabriella let her eyes roll back in pleasure, "me too Troy. I…love…you…mmmm, God I love when you do that"

Troy looked at her with his now deep blue eyes full of love and passion," what about when I do this?" he said as he slipped his hand underneath her panties and began to add pressure to her clit, occasional running circle with his thumb over it"

Gabriella felt her knees buckle slightly, "ohhhh, yes, um, yeah, shit, uh yeah I'm uh, I like that, um very very much"

Troy moved his pelvis against her to mirror his hand movement. He smiled as he watched the pleasure he was invoking in her register in her face, moans and body.

Gabriella let a loud moan that sent chills all over Troy's body.

Troy brought his head to nuzzle her neck, "I want to be inside you"

Gabriella opened her eyes and moved so that she could look into his. She smiled, "I would like nothing more"

Troy pushed her panties down and slid his pants down seconds later.

He kissed her sweetly and spread her legs with his knee. He brought his hands to rest on each of her bare ass cheeks. He hoisted her up so that her back was pressed firmly against the post of the bed.

Gabriella wrapped her legs around his waist and just about fainted when she felt his large erection hit her where it was begging to be inserted.

"Fill me Troy, fill me now"

Troy pushed into her as Gabriella lowered herself on to him. She loved how he knew how to hit the perfect spot.

"Mmm, yes" she moaned as Troy moved her up and down his hard erection. Gabriella pulled Troy's hair and let out a moan as her pleasure grew and grew.

Troy thrust harder and faster into her heat as her moans became louder and more frequent.

"You feel so good" he moaned.

"Ohhh Troy, Yeah, you too" she said between heavy pants.

"I love you , I love, ohhh I love you" she screamed as she felt her orgasm coming on hard and fast.

Troy moved her up and down his member harder and faster as he thrust with all his might.

Gabriella pressed her lips to his as she moved her hips with his movement, "I want you to come baby," she said through the kiss.

"Keep moving your, ohhhh, hips like that, oh my god"

Gabriella grinned and did as she was told.

Troy closed his eyes as he felt his release coming and within seconds he released into the woman he loved.

Troy let Gabriella fall to her feet as he leaned against her for support, "you were amazing he said as he left kisses up and down her neck," trying to catch his breath.

"mmm, you were too" she moaned as she enjoyed the sensations from each of his kisses.

Troy moved his head so that he could look into her eyes, "I have something for you"

Gabriella looked at him with confusion, "um, that wasn't it? I mean, because Troy, um that was more than enough"

Troy smiled as he walked his naked body over to the top drawer of his nightstand.

Gabriella fell onto the bed with wide eyes when she saw what he was holding.

Troy held out a 2 caret brilliant cut solitaire set upon a band of channel set princess cut diamonds.

"But, I uh, thought you asked spur of the moment"

Troy smiled, "I kind of did, but I have had this for a couple weeks now. I knew it was you I wanted to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I knew I would give it to you one day. I love you and I want you to be my wife" he said as he placed the ring on her left ring finger.

Gabriella looked down at the stunning jewelry, "Troy it's beautiful" she said as she looked up at him.

Troy smiled and kissed her sweetly on the lips as he pushed her back onto the bed. He moved so that his naked body was rested upon hers. He nudged her nose with his, "Well, soon to be Mrs. Bolton, for the next 48 hours that ring there is the only thing you are allowed to wear."

Gabriella grinned, "I like the sound of that"

Troy kissed her, "which part?"

Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes, "all of it"

Troy kissed her with a big grin, "good because you are stuck with me"

Gabriella smiled and took a deep breath, "forever?"

Troy nodded, "forever"
