Troy unlocked the front door to his suburban house. While carrying his left over work he scanned the mail to see if anything interesting had come. He walked into the kitchen and dropped the mail on the counter and went to the master bedroom.

Troy saw that the door was closed and so he thought that his fiancee was asleep, he crept into the dark room. Successfully, he made no sounds as he entered, and layed beside the beauty on top of the bed.

Gabriella. She was the love of his life and every moment they spent together felt like they have known each other for forever. Troy looked at her, brown curls that cascaded down her chest. Her eyes, closed but the most beautiful that he has ever seen. Troy leaned over closer to her and kissed her forehead lovingly. She opened her chocolate brown eyes and smiled at him.

"Hi". She moved her body closer to him and tilted her head up and kissed him on the lips which he gladly accepted.

"Hi back baby. I thought I should wake you up to remind you that we have dinner reservations with our friends tonight" he said putting a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"I know. I was just trying to relax a little bit before you got home. I had the longest day at work, and all I could think about was you and how I just wanted to be in your arms". She snuggled into his chest more and hid her face in his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his toned frame.

"Aw.. Why was it so long baby?" He stroked her cheek and leant down and kissed her cheek.

" Just too tired and I didn't sleep very well last night and I just wanted to be with the one I love the most. By the way, I love you" She snuggled into him and put her head on his chest.

" I love you , if you don't want to go to dinner with everybody I can tell them you aren't feeling well" he looked at her sincerely and stroked her hair.

"As much as I want to, we made plans with our friends and I don't want to break them" Gabriella got up and kissed his lips and went to the bathroom to take a shower to get ready. Troy got up before he made it in the bathroom and gave her another kiss and then left the room.

"Troy! We are going to be late if you don't hurry up" Gabriella yelled up the stairs in her red dress waiting for her boyfriend to leave.

"Im coming!" He made it down the stairs and took Gabriella's hand in his and intwined them and grabbed his keys and left.

Jessies Restaurant was an intimate and quiet Italian restaurant. As Gabriella and Troy walked in the door hand-in-hand they saw Chad and Taylor waiting at a table.

"Hey, sorry we are late. Work got off late" Troy told Chad while shaking each others hand.

"We were early, as usual" Chad said rolling his eyes at his girlfriend, Taylor McKessie, she and Gabriella had been best friends since their junior year of high school. Taylor had gone to Stanford and studied Anatomy.

"So... Hows the hospital life Tay?" Gabriella had asked after they ordered their food. She immediatley intwined hers and Troys fingers.

"Oh you know, the usual catastrophies. Crazy people running around and screaming at each other" she said.

The conversation went on until they received their food and then after said their goodbyes and headed their separate ways. Troy and Gabriella got home and got into bed.

"I love you Gabby" Troy said kissing her lips.

"I love you too Troy" Gabriella said and with that she fell asleep with her head on his chest listening to the heartbeat that made her think of the future with her love.
