Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I own nothing but plot.

I love you guys so much. I feel so bad taking forever to update. I just haven't had time between working all the time and hanging out with my friends. I have a couple ideas for this story so I think I'm going to start picking up the pace and getting chapters out a lot faster. Its been over a year and I'm sorry.

"So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me."

Justin Timberlake - Not A Bad Thing

We've now been in Hawaii for a little over four weeks now. Troy and I have been…. I wouldn't say dating. We decided we aren't dating. We're just hanging out, but we aren't seeing other people. Which is good because going from hating someone one day to liking each other is unusual and we want to make sure that are feelings are real and not just lust.

"Stop it." I giggled, shoving Troys head away gently as he kissed my neck. "I cant help myself. You're perfect." He whispered. I blushed a little. "Do you think its weird?" I questioned. "Is what weird?" He asked confused. "Us. I used to never like you, you know." I told him. "Hey!" He feigned hurtfulness. I gave him a look. "Oh please. You hated me too." I told him. He just shrugged his shoulders.

I got off his lap and walked to the bathroom. "Get ready! Lets do something fun." He just grinned and got up to change. I turned the water on once I was in the shower making it hot enough to feel nice. I heard the door open. I looked out to see Troy with no shirt on.. Shocking right?

"Get out." I teased. "Make me." He said. When I finished my shower I put a towel around my body before stepping out of the shower. "Must you bother me?" I asked him. "Of course. I wouldn't be Bolton if I didn't." I gave him a look. "Okay, I'm leaving." He left defeated.

A few hours later Troy and I were walking into a club with Lindsey and Justin right behind us. We just wanted to chill. We found a table and the guys went to order drinks.

"So, How does it feel?" Lindsey asked. "Feels fucking amazing!" I said excitedly. We giggled. "Have you … you know.. Done it yet?" She asked, blushing. "No. We haven't had sex yet." I told her.

"Oh. Soon right?!" She said nudging me. I blushed because we were so close last night. "We were going to last night but I…. I stopped and just couldn't. It feels too weird." I shrugged. Lindsey looked at me weird. "Weird? Because of…" She left it open. "Because we didn't like each other. Like at all. And now we're 'dating'? Like that never happens." I rambled, not knowing what to say.

She gave me a look. "Stop it." I said turning my head to see the guys coming to us with drinks in hand. "Thanks." I said quietly when Troy came back with the drinks. He gave me a weird look but just dropped it.

"When you guys leave again?" Justin asked us. "Uhhhh. 6 weeks. Then its like 3 weeks before school starts. We have to go school shopping and stuff." Lindsey pouted a little. "Awwww. We leave in like, what, 4 weeks?" She asked Justin. "Yeah babe." We were all quiet for a minute. "I can't wait to see Sharpay and Taylor." I couldn't wait to tell them everything that's happened. Which reminds me I need to call Shar later.

"Why? To gossip some more?" Troy teased. I gave a fake smile and nodded my head. It just didn't feel right. "I know we just got here but my head hurts. I think I'm just going to go back to our room." I told Troy." He went to get up but I put my hand up. "Im a big girl, I can go by myself." I told him. After about 10 minutes of me telling him to stay I finally got into a cab.

I rushed up to my room and closed the door. I cannot wait for this trip to be over.

The next morning I woke up to quietness. I noticed Troy wasn't in the room. Did he not come back last night? I grabbed my phone and called Sharpay. "Heeeey!" I was greeted with. "I have so much to tell you." I told her instantly. "You didn't like fall for Bolton or anything did you?" She teased. Right then it hit me. I don't wanna tell my friends that I'm datin- err seeing Troy. I don't know why and I felt horrible for lying but that's what I did. "Fuck no. He's lucky I don't kill him in his sleep." We both laughed. "I have to go. Yoga in a few. Talk to you later?" She checked. "defiantly!" We both hang up.

The hotel room door swung open and Troy popped in with looked like Starbucks and muffins. "Oh, you're awake," He walked over to me and leaned in to kiss me, I turned my head so he kissed my cheek. "Do you wanna tell me what is going on?" I shook my head. "I don't understand what you mean," I stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. "If you don't want to do this, just let me know." He walked out of the room. Going god knows where, I guess I really can't be mad. It really is all my fault. Me and my big mouth, can't keep it shut at all. I got into the shower and washed my body. Leaving my hair up on my head, deciding sense I'm going to the beach no sense in washing it.

I jumped out of the shower with a towel around my body tightly. I pull a white small plain bikini out of my suitcase and dropped the towel. Being to busy into my thoughts I didn't hear the door opening and closing. "Can we tal- Oh! I'm sorry!" I quickly grabbed the towel, my face turning red. He saw me naked. "I didn't mean to," He said. "It's not your fault," I said softly. I grabbed the bathing suit and walked into the bathroom to get changed. When I walked out Troy was sitting on the bed. "Again, Im sorry," He apologized again. "I said it was fine, no big deal Troy," He nodded his head. "But can we talk?" He asked getting off the bed.

I nodded my head, walking closer to him. We both sat down on his bed. I have no idea what to say, I have no idea how I feel. My heart and head are in two different places. "How do you feel about me? 'Cause right not I'm getting a lot of mixed signals and I don't understand why," I hung my head. I'm such a bitch. I don't know what I want. I don't know what to tell him. "I like you," I started, playing with my hands. "but, I'm just scared," He grabbed my hands. "Tell me why you're scared," Why am I scared? I have no idea, I have no real reason.

"I don't know," He gave me a look. He looked deep into my eyes. Realization came across him. "You don't want Shar or Tay to know," He stated slowly. I avoided eye contact. "You're embarrassed to be with me aren't you?" He asked. "Troy, no. I'm not embarrassed to be with you. I don't want to get my hopes up, fall in love and tell Shar how happy I am for us to go back home angry and enemies. I don't want things to change when we leave, 'cause of course everything seems so good now but what happens if we don't feel the same when we are back home in California with are friends. Are you going to be that same jerk and am I going to be the same bitch to you? I'm scared that everything will change and it actually terrifies the shit out of me." I breathed in quickly after being out of breath. I looked at Troys face. Trying to read his emotions. Nothing.

"Baby," My heart fluttered when he spoke. "I want this to work," He motioned to us. "I really like you and I want to show you it's not a bad thing to fall in love." I jumped into his arms. He grabbed my face and gave me a gentle but passionate kiss. Fireworks were everywhere. Who ever said that falling for your enemy was a bad thing obviously never had something like this. "So, for real this time? You want to try to make this work?" He questioned as I was snuggled up in his chest. "I really do Troy," I looked up at him. Making sure he knew how serious this was. No playing around. I sighed. "Babe, what's wrong?" I thought how I wanted to tell him without him getting the wrong idea or upset.

"I know this might sound bad," I said. He nodded telling me to carry on. "but, I really do not want to tell Sharpay or Taylor or anyone actually," I said softly. He nodded his head a little bit. "Okay,"

"I know you're mad but I just want to make sure we can do this with out other people putting their two cents into our relationship," I was a little scared that he would not like this idea. "Brie," He said looking into my eyes. "I get it. You want no pressure or judgments. I really get it," For the first time in a long time, I actually feel happy and content with how life is treating me.

"Do you want to go to the beach with me," I asked. "You don't have to, I just thought we could, I don't know, hang out?" I don't know why I was acting so shy. I have known this guy forever. "Of course I wanna go with you," I got off his lap so he could get up. "Just let me change real quick." He got his bathing suit and changed in the bathroom. He came back out looking sexy as hell. "Ready to go?" He asked. I nodded my head as I grabbed my sunglasses and a towel. Quickly slipping my sandals on I grabbed his hand. He smiled down at me and we walked out the door.

Two hours later found us playing around in the water. Having fun and laughing. Something I thought we were incapable to do with each other. "Oh my god," I squealed running away. I splashed him back and tried to run. I felt him grab my waist and pick me up. "Put me down!" I exclaimed laughing. "Not so fast baby," He said spinning me around. I locked my legs around his waist and kissed him fiercely. My hands clasped around his neck. "You're everything I want," Troy said cutely after he pulled back. "You're everything I need," I responded. "Do we tell are parents or,"He kept it open. I thought about it for a second. "No, this is no ones business but me and my babys," He smiled widely at me. He kissed me again before pulling away. "Do you wanna get lunch?" I nodded my head and he let me down and we walked to get our stuff before walking to a small cafe on the beach.

"How many?" The hostess asked. "Two," Troy and I responded at the same time. I giggled when she turned around and we followed her to our table. "Thanks," Troy told her when she walked away. I sat across from Troy in our booth. I grabbed his hand from across the table. "You haven't played basketball in like a month, you probably suck now," I said giggling a little. Troys jaw dropped. "Mean," He stated. "Actually Justin wanted to play later today, Is that okay?" I loved how he asked, but I'm not one of those girls who needs to control their boyfriends life. "Fine by me babe. You can do anything, I don't own you. But thank you for asking," I told him. He smiled. After we ordered our drinks and food we just talked about everything. I found out that he can play guitar and sing. I told him I'm afraid of thunderstorms.

"If I get a guitar will you play something for me?" I asked as we left the restaurant now walking back to our room. "Yeah babe," He chuckled. "Only if you help me sing though," He added. "No way, I am not a singer. Sorry to disappoint you," He laughed as we opened the door to our room. Troy changed into some basketball shorts and a tank top. "I'll be back Brie. Don't have too much fun with out me," He winked. "Bye babe," He kissed my head before walking out the door.

Less than 2 minutes later I heard knocking. "Hello," I said opening the door. "Hey girl!" Lindsey exclaimed. "You better not have plans because I'm bored and I have alcohol," I gestured with my hands to come in. "Im down," We both sat on my bed.

"How's Troy boy?"She asked criss-crossing her legs. I shrugged. "Good so far," I told her. She opened the bottle of fireball which is cinnamon flavored whiskey. We drank straight from the bottle. Fuck cups. "I decided that we are not telling anyone one we are dating. You and Justin are the only ones who know," I told her taking the bottle from her hand and taking a swig of the warm liquid. Feeling it burn my throat I made a face. "Gross," I said handing it back to her. We talked for another two hours more about Justin and Troy. By now the bottle is empty and we are defiantly drunk. "Lets go see the guyssss," I slurred. Lindsey agreed and we walked out the door trying hard to not stumble. "I can't do it," Lindsey mumbled holding the wall. "Lets just call them," We decided to go back into the room and call them.

Not making it to the bed we laid on the floor. Lindsey grabbed her phone and called Justin. "HEY BABY!" She slurred. "Oh no, their drunk," I heard Justin tell someone, Probably Troy. "Are you guys done playing? We miss you," She told him. "Yeah baby, Do you want us to come up?" He asked her. We squealed. Yay more Troy! "Yaasss bitch!" She said and we both cracked up laughing. "Okay," He chuckled. "We are coming. Stay there!" He ordered. "Yes sir!" We saluted and hung up.

"I'm so excited!" I screeched. We laughed some more. I heard a phone ringing. "Is that mine?" I asked standing up and getting it off the table. The screen lit up with 'Sharpay ;)' I slid my finger across it. "Hey babe!" I slurred. "Oh, You're drunk?" She laughed. "Yes! I miss Troy," I told her not thinking. "What!?" She asked shocked. "He's my baby," I told her. Out of the corner of my eye I saw lindsey fall of the bed and I rolled around laughing. "What do you mean he's your baby?" Sharpay asked. I then heard the door open and saw Troy and Justin walk through the door. "Troys here, I gotta go," I told her and threw my phone on the couch.

"Baby!" I said stumbling towards him. "Woah, Lets calm down a little," He said grabbing my arm. "I missed you." I told him. I leaned against him so I wouldn't fall. "I missed you too," He chuckled.

"How much did you guys drink?" Justin asked. "A lot!" We told him. He shook his head. "I have to pee," I said trying to walk to the bathroom but falling. "Here, let me help," Troy said, helping me up he walked me to the bathroom. "Come in with me," I told him. He shook his head. "Please," I said.

He walked me into the bathroom and shut the door. I pulled down my pants and started to pee. Troy turned around. When I finished, I carefully stood up and pulled my pants back up and washed my hands. I grabbed Troys hand and spun him around. I kissed square on the lips. He picked me up and sat me on the sink. We made out for about 10 minutes when I pulled away. "I want you," I told him. He laughed a little. "You already have me," He said. "No," I said shaking my head. "I want you," I said with a smirk.

"Oh baby, I want you too," He said. I grabbed his face and my hand went toward his belt when he grabbed it. "But not like this," He started. "Not when you're drunk and our friends are right out the door." He picked me off the counter and set me down on the floor. "Okay," I mumbled and he laced our hands together as we left the bathroom.

"Ooooh, what did you guys do?" Lindsey joked while wiggling her eyebrows. "Nothing," I said with a straight face and we both cracked up laughing. I felt myself going down and felt Troy bring me right back up. "Okay, well I'm gonna take Lindsey back to our room man," Justin said, giving Troy a man hug. "Byeeeeeeee," Me and lindsey said when she walked out the door.

I started to lean against Troy and close my eyes. "Alright, bed time," He told me bringing me to my bed. "What do you wanna wear?" Troy asked only to be met with silence. I was too tired to speak. I felt him take off my shirt and bra and put one of his shirts over me. He then slid off my pants, just leaving me in my underwear. "Thanks," I mumbled slightly. He kissed the top of my head and walked away.

10 minutes later I felt the bed shift and immediately curled up into Troys chest. "G'night baby," Was the last thing I heard before I was out.

Waking up in the morning I had the biggest headache, I turned my head and saw it was 9 o'clock. Troy was still sleeping. I slipped out from his arms quietly and went to get some Advil out of the bathroom. I then proceeded to strip off Troys shirt and my underwear and jump into the nice warm shower. I gently washed my hair, hoping my headache will go away. 20 minutes later I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tightly around me. I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra. I made sure Troy was still sleeping when I dropped the towel and put on my bra and underwear. I then put on a black crop top and some washed out high-waisted shorts.

I went back into the bathroom to blow dry my hair, leaving it in its curly mess that actually looked good today. I did some light makeup and walked out to see Troy still sleeping. I walked over to his side of the bed. "Baby," I said shaking him gently. "Hm," He responded.

"Do you wanna get up?" I asked him, brushing the hair out of his face. "No," He answered. I leaned down and kissed him. I felt him kiss back and try to slip his tongue into my mouth. "Great, you're awake. Do you wanna get some breakfast?" I asked him after pulling away which resulted in him groaning. "Fine, give me 10 minutes," He said slowing getting up.

"I haven't talked to mom in like 3 days," I sated 20 minutes later sitting at a diner. "Oh yeah, they called yesterday. We have dinner reservations with them at 7," He told me. I nodded my head, telling him I heard him. I sipped on my water when the server brought out our food. "Looks so yummy," My mouth was so dry. Drinking does that to you. While eating I heard my phone whistle, signaling that I got a text message. 'Morning drunkie. Now one question, why is Troy your baby? Im so confused. Fill me in!'

My face went pale. Oh shit. No, I did not tell her we're dating. No fucking way I did that.
