"O.k. this is supposed to be a happy night." Troy said as he walked up and handed Gabriella her drink.
"It is, babe it is."
Last chapter peeps…Thanks for reading and all your comments…mwha!
Chapter 21
Gardenias
Kelsi couldn't believe an entire month had passed by and her wedding day had finally arrived. She thought she would be more nervous than she was, but because she had conquered so much in her life within the past month, she felt this was nothing to fret over.
"Oh wow, kels, you look so beautiful" Gabriella said as she entered the parlor where Kelsi was touching up her hair.
"Thanks Gabs. I do feel like a princess." Kelsi smiled and twirled around in place.
"Everything looks gorgeous in the garden, it is a picture perfect day and the guys all look hot." Gabriella laughed.
"Except for one." Sharpay added as she walked through the door.
"Who?" both Gabriella and Kelsi said at the same time.
"My brother. The groom. I think the boys made him celebrate his last night of bachelorhood a little too much last night. He looks three shades of green." Sharpay said.
Gabriella and Kelsi just stood together and laughed.
"He'll be fine once he sees this sexy thang" Gabriella said as she pointed to Kelsi.
"He better." Taylor said as she walked through the door.
"Everyone is seated Kels, I think they are going to start real soon."
"O.k." Kelsi started to get a little nervous.
"Girls. Now that I have all of you here together." Kelsi said as she handed then their bouquets of pure white Gardenias with pearl pins through the centers and long pink silk ribbon flowing over the front.
"I just want to thank you all so much for being in my life and supporting me through these past 6 months." Tears started to well up in Kelsi's eyes.
"I feel like the luckiest girl right now. I have my health, incredibly wonderful friends and I am marrying the man of my dreams, even though he is green right now." Kelsi laughed through the tears that were forming in her eyes.
Sharpay, Gabriella and Taylor laughed too as they wiped their eyes and hugged Kelsi.
"Kelsi they are rolling out the white aisle and getting ready to start the music." Kelsi's Dad said softly as he peeked in the room.
"O.k. Daddy, I think we're ready."
The girls adjusted their pastel pink strapless dresses and tidied up each other's hair before walking out to the courtyard to start the ceremony.
After Mayor Evans was informed of the unprofessional behavior of Mr. Colton he fired him and announced that the park would remain a town centered park. With the advice of his daughter Sharpay a garden courtyard area was designed by Troy and Chad's firm along with the assistance of Taylor and Gabriella.
In the center of the garden was a beautiful large raised teak wood gazebo in an octagon shape with a lattice arch in the center. Fragrant honeysuckle vines weaved throughout the arch and tiny pink flowers with yellow centers bloomed all over the light brown wood.
To the right of the arch Ryan, Troy, Chad and Ryan's cousin Jason stood with anticipation for the ceremony to start.
Ryan fidgeted with his white bow tie and pulled on his black tux sleeves.
Troy stood and looked around and smiled imagining this type of celebration could for be him one day.
Jason stared off into the trees thinking about how much he desired a nice cold beer.
Chad patiently sat in a wheel chair that he needed to be in for a while longer while he finished his occupational therapy observing the garden and its pure beauty.
Several rows of white chairs were set up on the lush green grass that surrounded the gazebo. Beyond the grass were islands of beautiful white rose bushes and ornamental prairie grasses with tall plums that flowed gracefully with the gentle breeze.
Draped along the chairs, forming the aisle was white silk fabric. At every other chair a bouquet of Queen Ann's lace and Gardenias was tied to the silk that was formed into bows.
As the melodic music played the ladies slowly walked down the aisle one by one.
Half way from the gazebo, the men would walk to meet their partner and walk up to the arch together, and then separate to their designated sides.
When Troy saw Gabriella walking towards him, his heart skipped a beat and a wave of heat rushed over his body. Her beauty was incredible. Her hair was pulled up loosely and a few wavy strands hung on her cheeks. Her dress fit her body perfectly and the soft pink color against her tan skin was very sensual.
Troy could not stop smiling at her. Gabriella smiled back and noticed how gorgeous Troy looked in his black tux and pastel pink shirt and tie.
When Troy walked up to meet Gabriella she wrapped her arm in the crook of his.
"You look amazing today." Troy whispered in her ear sending shivers through her core.
"You're not so bad yourself babe." Gabriella whispered back.
Throughout the entire ceremony Troy and Gabriella stole glances at each other and smiled.
Troy could not wait to hold Gabriella close on the dance floor and tell her his feelings for her. He truly felt he could not be any happier in his life than he is right now. The feeling made his stomach flip.
Every time Troy smiled at Gabriella her heart melted and she thought about how much her life has changed since she moved to White Springs and met Troy Bolton. Even after all the drama she experienced she was on cloud nine right now and owed it all to the man she loved.
After the final kiss and the was announcement of Mr. and Mrs. Kelsi and Ryan Evans everyone clapped and whistled and started to head out for the reception which was being held at Mayor Evans's mansion on the lake.
Gabriella sat on a bench swing overlooking the lake. The sunset was casting a beautiful orange-red glow off of the water.
As Gabriella sipped her pink champagne Troy walked up to her.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked.
"No not at all." Gabriella scooted over and allowed Troy to sit by her side.
"This is an amazing view you got here Ms. Montez."
"Yep, I special ordered it just for us." Gabriella said as she rested her head on Troy's shoulder.
"What a day huh?" Troy said.
"It was beautiful. Ryan and Kelsi are so happy. The ceremony was perfect and the garden we designed looks fabulous." Gabriella responded.
"Speaking of the garden. Mayor Evans said he had several other projects he was hoping we would help him with." Troy said as he wrapped his arm around Gabriella holding her close.
"That's great for you and Chad Troy. Congrats." Gabriella praised.
"Well yeah, but he meant landscape projects for all four of us to work on."
"You mean The Arrangement and B & D together?" Gabriella sat up and faced Troy.
"Yeah. He said there are several hotels being built and office buildings that need sprucing up with landscape designs. I figure it would be a major boost for both our careers if we teamed up. What do you think?"
"I think it sounds great. I obviously need to talk to Taylor, but I'm pretty sure she will be all over it."
"Like I want to be all over you?" Troy said as he pulled Gabriella closer to him and kissed her on the neck.
"Mmmmmm that feels good." Gabriella closed her eyes and savored the feeling of Troy's soft lips on he tan skin.
"Let me have this." Troy took the pink champagne from Gabriella's hand and dipped his fingers in the bubbly liquid. He then continued to kiss and lick Gabriella's jaw line as he placed his fingers on Gabriella's mocha colored lips. She took in his fingers one at a time and sucked the sweet nectar from them as Troy watched.
Troy placed the champagne glass on the ground and continued to maneuver his hands up Gabriella's silk dress pushing it up around her waist. He immediately noticed the access to her wet soft folds was easier than he thought. Gabriella's thong had a snap at the center of the crotch and Troy successfully unsnapped it with one motion.
"Hmmm quick access. I like." Troy mumbled as he plunged his tongue inside Gabriella's mouth.
"I knew you would." Gabriella gasped as she came up for air.
Troy fondled and played with Gabriella's clit and she became wet and aroused within seconds. He then slowly inserted his index finger in to her opening, feeling her tight moist walls surround it. After penetrating her a few times with the one finger, Troy added another.
Gabriella moaned and tugged on Troy's hair as he kissed her throat and breathed heavily on her skin.
Troy could feel his cock begging for freedom from his tux, so with his one free hand he quickly unzipped his pants, pushed down the front of his boxers and took out his erect penis.
"Oh Troy fuck me. Fuck me right here." Gabriella begged as she arched her back and was already ready to cum.
Troy practically lifted Gabriella up like a kid and made her straddle him while he sat down on the swing. Gabriella placed each leg on either side of Troy's hips spreading them wide. Troy took his hardened member and placed it right at Gabriella's opening and slowly plunged it fully into her.
Gabriella held on to Troy's shoulders and rocked her hips with consistent motion to let Troy be as deep as he could inside of her.
As Troy penetrated Gabriella was overcome with heat and as he sucked and nibbled on her breasts Gabriella felt her peak was near.
Gabriella grabbed the back of Troy's hair and tugged at it as she felt her body quiver with delight. Her orgasm took over and she moaned a deep long moan as her body released it's sex juice onto Troy.
Troy could feel her walls tighten and release, then tighten again around his shaft as he continued to penetrate her slowly now. The hot liquid oozed onto his pubic hair.
Gabriella wrapped her legs around Troy's waist and lifted her hips so he could continue to fuck her as deep as possible.
Troy plunged in and out of Gabriella with a consistent rhythm until he felt his peak and was about to erupt himself. As Troy leaned over Gabriella he kissed her passionately on her parted lips. He gave her a couple of hard thrusts. Gabriella groaned from the pain she loved. Troy squeezed Gabriella's ass as he finally came and released his seed into her hot opening.
"I love you Montez." Troy said as he tried to catch his breath and gazed deeply in Gabriella's chocolate orbs. "I never want to let you go."
Gabriella's chest raised and lowered as she tried to even her breathing. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and gazed back at Troy.
"I love you too Bolton and I don't plan on going anywhere." She said as she took his head in her hands and kissed him on the nose.
