I'll Always Love You, No Matter What.
On Set
"Cut! That was perfect you two, anyone would think with that chemistry that you two would actually be… you know… 'something'" Kenny yells out.
"Ok, well that's all for today, we'll see you back here tomorrow at 6am sharp people!"
Zac and Vanessa pass a glance and smile to eachother as if to say, oops!
"It must have been you!" Zac jokingly tells Vanessa, and laughs as they are walking of the set. Vanessa throws a punch at him, and keeps walking along with him.
In Vanessa's Dressing Room
"So, do you think it's a bad thing that our 'chemistry' is obvious Zac, does it give us away?" Vanessa says, playing with her hair, and staring into the mirror.
"Well I don't see why not, Kenny seems to love it, just like I do" He kisses her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know but… Don't get me wrong I love being able to feel so comfortable on set with you and stuff… but… you know… I don't know. Sorry." Vanessa says looking him in those deep beautiful blue eyes. She always falls weak at the knees whenever he is staring right into hers with his.
"Look babe, you don't need to worry about it, ok? If we just keep low--"
"No, but you see that's just it, I don't want to have to keep hiding this from everyone. I want to be able to walk around the set holding hands with you, and kissing you whenever and wherever I want. I want… I… I just want you." A tear runs down her face, and she bows her head down.
"Hey…" He lifts her head up and wipes away the tear that streamed down her face "You've got me, baby. You do. I'm not going anywhere" He leans down and gently presses his lips against hers.
"I know, I know… but I want you whenever and wherever. Do you know what I mean? Sorry, I don't even know what I mean, how could you?" Vanessa stands up and walks to the couch and sits down.
"Because I know and love you. I know, well do you want to not hide it anymore? I want whatever you want." Zac sits close beside her, and puts his arm around her. She looks up at him.
"Should we?" She says, staring into those eyes, again.
"Do you want to?" He leans in and kisses her softly.
A tear runs down her face. She kisses him back, and leans in and places her arms around his neck, the kiss deepens. He wraps his arms around her waste and she gently runs her hands through his dark, slightly dirty, hair. That's the way she likes it. He looks her in the eyes and softly whispers "I love you".
Vanessa smiles and says, "I'll always love you Zac, forever and not a day less".
"You wanna come back to my house now? Stay over?" Zac says, with a smile and a nudge.
"That might be a bit obvious Zachary!"
"No it won't, as far as our parents know, they think we are really close 'friends'." Zac whispers, and smirks at Vanessa, she smirks back.
"Ok, this is fun... breaking the rules!"
"That's my Nessa for ya!" he says, holding her hand and squeezing it tightly.
"Shut up you!" They laugh and walk off to Vanessa's new Audi.
In The Car
"Hey babe, isn't this your song?" Zac says turning up the volume on the radio.
I'm gonna drive!
Iv'e hit the highway, and I'm not coming home I'm gonna drive.
I'll do it my way; I'll call you on the phone when I arrive…
"Oh my god! It is!! Yes! They finally put it on the radio. I've been waiting for ages!" Vanessa sings along with radio, and so does Zac.
"Do you know this song Zac?"
"What kind of question is that?" He says, and tosses her a quick wink.
"Yeah, I was there with you when you recorded it remember? That's nice of you; you forget I was with you." He sighs and smirks at Vanessa.
"Ohh Yeahhhh. I remember. Sorry babe, had a mental blank for a minute there" She says and leans in and gives him a quick, but powerful kiss.
At Zac's Apartment
"It's been so long since I've been here" Vanessa yelps, flopping onto Zac's massive king-size bed.
"I feel so comfortable here, I wish I was with you all the time!" Vanessa exclaims, staring up at the ceiling.
"I know babe, but look at it this way…" Zac thumps down next to her and holds her hand. "At least when you come to see me, and stay with me, you always have something to look forward to when you leave."
"Yeah that's true" Vanessa sits up and starts to fiddle around with Zac's top.
"Hey Zac, I think I'm ready…"
"For what Nessa?" Zac sits up and stars at her taking in every detail. I love you so much Vanessa Hudgens, he thinks to himself.
"You know.. I'm ready. I love you so much and I want to be able to experience this with you... I mean we've done everything else but 'it'" Vanessa takes hold of Zac's hands and intertwines her fingers in his.
"Are you sure? I don't want to push you away, I love you with all my heart and I couldn't imagine not being with you" Zac kisses her hands.
"Your so beautiful Zachary. Yes, I'm ready" she takes a deep breath and looks at him, for what seems to be forever.
Vanessa slowly runs her hands up his arms, and takes hold of his head, and presses her lips against his. Zac opens his lips, and their tongues begin to tangle around each other's. Zac runs his hands up and down along Vanessa's back and slowly removes each piece of her clothing, throwing them onto the floor, piece by piece. Vanessa does the same. Zac stands up with Vanessa wrapped around him and slams against the wall, kissing her so passionately, with the tongues still dancing with each other's. He suddenly starts to thrust in and out of her, making her moan and groan with extreme pleasure. I love you Zac, she thinks to herself. Zac slowly begins to slow down, and they are suddenly left on the floor with sheets wrapped around them, Vanessa leaning against Zac's cold, and sweaty body, and Zac holding Vanessa in his arms, and kisses her forehead.
"Are you ok, Nessa?" Zac says rubbing her arm lightly.
"Yeah babe, I've never been better. Thank you." Vanessa says slowly pushing her body up to look Zac in the eyes.
"For what?" Zac smiles.
"For making me happy, I felt so comfortable, I'm glad I was able to have my first time with you." Vanessa leans in to him and gently kisses Zac.
"You know what Zac? I never actually told you this, but ever since the first time I saw you at the High School Musical auditions, I've loved you, and ever since then, I've constantly wanted to be with you." Vanessa says looking down at the floor, fiddling with the Zac's bed sheets, wrapped tightly around her, slightly embarrassed.
Zac lifts her head up, and looks at her and kisses her lightly. "Me too babe, always have loved you, and always will".
Vanessa slowly leans in towards Zac and plants a kiss on his cheek. A few more follow slowly working their way up to his ear, and then back down to his neck, and up to his lips. Their tongues begin to dance with eachother, for what seems to be hours. They only release in need of air, and Zac whispers "I love you Nessa" in her ear, she looks at him and smiles.
"Me too, so much".
Out For Lunch
"I'll just have the burger." Zac says handing the menu back to the waitress. He then takes hold of Vanessa's hands.
"So do you when Ashley is meeting us my love?" Zac says, fiddling with her hands.
Vanessa smiles, "She should be here any minute now, so we better stop the lovey dovey stuff before she gets here babe" Vanessa says glancing at her watch and letting go of Zac's hands.
"Come on give me one more quickie before Ash comes" Zac puckers up his lips to Vanessa. Vanessa roles her eyes and gives him a quick peck, right on his lips.
"What was that? I didn't feel any sparks, or and fireworks, that was loveless Nessa." Zac says with a sigh.
"Oh shut up you! Come here then, I'll show you a proper kiss Zachary!" Vanessa grabs hold of his top and pulls him towards her and kisses him powerfully.
"Good enough for you Mr. Efron?" Vanessa says touching up her lip-gloss. "It leaves me wanting more; does that answer your question?"
Suddenly a voice comes yelping in their ears. "Sorry I'm late guys. But hey what would you guys do if Versace had a 20 minute sale!"
"Oh how well you know me Ash!" Zac says sarcastically, throwing Vanessa a that was close look.
"Oh shush you!" Ashley says leaning in and giving Vanessa and Zac each a kiss on the cheek. "So whats going on people? Any of you two losers have a boyfriend or girlfriend yet?" Zac coughs and nudges Vanessa under the table with his feet.
"What was that for?" Vanessa blurts out, without thinking.
"What are talking about Nessa?" Ashley asks, with her many Versace bags crashing to the ground. Oops she mouths.
"Nothing, Zac just accidentally hit me under the table" Vanessa says tossing Zac a what the hell look.
"Did I? I didn't realize, sorry!" Zac says, nearly breaking out with laughter.
"Guys, I'll be back in two seconds, I need to visit the ladies! Won't be long!" Ashley stands up, and walks to the bathroom.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Vanessa quietly asks Zac.
"Well, you know how when we where in you dressing room on the set?"
"Yeah…" Vanessa says, getting interested.
"Well, this is the perfect opportunity to let it out." Zac says glancing over to where Ashley walked off, to see if she is coming back.
"I don't catch you babe" Vanessa says, confused.
"Well if we tell Ashley, then that's one person less that won't know about us."
"Yeah that's true, and Ash is my best friend, do you reckon we should?" Vanessa says, worried.
"I'm sure it will be fine babe. I mean think about it, she always tells us how great our chemistry is… and she's always asking about whether or not we have a partner, I reckon she'll be thrilled" Zac says trying hard to convince his girlfriend, and glancing back to see if Ashley has returned.
"Zac, she only says that we have great chemistry, when we are Troy Bolton, and Gabriella Montez, not Vanessa and Zac." Vanessa says checking for Ashley.
"No, she meant Vanessa and Zac, trust me. Quick, just think of something to tell her. She's coming now." Zac says acting normal.
"Miss me? Course ya did!" Ashley says looking at the lunch menu.
"Hey Ash, Zac and I want to tell you something… do you have a minute?" Vanessa says taking a deep breath.
"Yeah sure, whats up?" Ashley says putting down the menu, looking at Zac and Vanessa.
"Well I know what I want to tell you, but I just don't know how to tell you." Vanessa says, thinking.
"Ok, you guys are starting to scare me now"
"No, its nothing to be scared of… It's just… It's… Zac a little help here." Vanessa says nudging Zac lightly under the table.
"Oh right… ok… well basically… ok… you know how you ask Vanessa and I all the time if we have a partner?" Zac says, contemplating his use of words.
"Yeah… Oh… My… God!! Do you have a girlfriend Zac Efron?" Ashley asks, getting a tad over excited.
"Um… well yeah… I do but--"
"Oh this is so exciting… well spill the beans… name? Age? Location? Phone number? I want to be able to talk to this lover of yours!? Oh I'm so excited!!" Ashley says getting her mobile phone from her bag.
"Wait Ash, there's more to it—" Vanessa says trying to explain.
"No, no fuss, I just want to get the info first ok Nessa and then—"
"Its me Ash!" Vanessa suddenly blurts out. The three of them sit silently for a few seconds.
"What do you mean Ness?" Ashley says, slightly confused, but has a vague idea of the situation.
"It's me. I'm Zac's girlfriend." Vanessa says looking at Zac.
"Ok, if this is some kind of joke you guys are playing—"
"It's not Ash…" Zac quickly interrupts her.
"I don't believe this… You—" She looks towards Vanessa, she gives her a nod. "And… and… You—" Zac does the same. "Prove it!" Ashley suddenly says, slightly scaring Vanessa and Zac.
"Ok!" Vanessa pulls Zac towards her, and plants a major kiss on his lips, and stays there for a few seconds.
"Believe us now?" Zac says, fiddling with his hair.
"Oh… My… God!! This is so much better than the Versace sale!! Guys, do you mind if I go tell Jared, we've been talking about you two getting together for ages!?" Ashley says, overwhelmed with excitement.
"No!" Vanessa and Zac say in unison.
"Why not? He won't tell anyone—"
"It's not that we don't trust Jared Ash—" Zac says
"It's just that… well we just don't want to tell everyone just yet, but I wanted to start with you, cause I trust you the most cause your my best friend, ok?" Vanessa says taking hold of Ashley's hand.
"Yeah, I won't don't worry." Ashley says, a little disappointed.
"Thanks so much Ash" Vanessa says giving her best friend a hug.
In the Morning
Vanessa wakes up, and for a minute she forgets where she is. Oh shit. She thinks to herself. She lay there curled up in Zac's arms, remembering and thinking about what happened the night before. She thinks about making love to Zac for the second time, and making love for the second time, in general. Wow. God I love him. Vanessa slowly turns over to find Zac fast asleep with his arms wrapped around her. She takes the time to memorize every detail from his hair to his gorgeous abs. His hair is dark, and dirty, and although his eyes are closed, she still felt weak at the knees staring at him. His nose was so perfect, and his lips, where pink as can be, and slightly wet.
She glanced over at his bedside table to find that his clock read 5:45, and they had to be at the rehearsal at 6am. Oh My God.
"Zac..." she gently shook him. "Zac... babe... sweetie..." She moved closer to him and raised her voice. "Zachary!" She yelped, Zac turned around to face her
"Shit babe, you almost gave me a heart attack! Whats up?" He pulled himslef up, and let out a yawn.
"Zac, we have to be on the set at 6am and--"
"Yeah, I know babe, whats your point?" Vanessa rolled her eyes, Oh Zachary. She pointed to the clock. It took Zac a while to grasp the fact that they were supposed to be leaving now, instead they had just woken up.
"Oh Shit! Ok babe, i know that we are usually like 5-10 mins late for shooting, but now I'm freaking out that we are gonna get fired!" Zac quickly got up, and searched for his clothes that Vanessa had scattered all over the room from the night before. Zac let out a quick sigh.
"Oh Zac, don't overreact, he won't fire us! He'll ask why we were late, which is what I'm worried about!" Vanessa says, biting her lip.
"Ok, we don't have time for this Nessa, lets just get our stuff and get to that set!" Zac said quickly brushing his teeth, fixing his hair, and grabbing his bag. Vanessa nodded in approval, and brushed her teeth, fixed her hair, which took twice as long as Zac, and grabbed her bag, and ran down to Vanessa's car, Zac trailing behind her, and left.
At the Set
"Good morning you two, or should i say good afternoon?" Kenny says folding his arms and giving the two a, naughty naughty look.
"Sorry Kenny, we... umm... got caught up with some things." Vanessa says, exchanging glances with Zac.
"What kind of things Miss Hudgens?" Kenny says with a slight smile.
"Just stuff, you know teenage stuff" Zac adds.
"I'm just messing with ya. Don't worry, your not even in the first couple of scene's, you'll be starting your scene's at 9am." Kenny laughs. "We're doing I don't dance, and Vanessa your only in the crowd so its no problem."
"Kenny! You scared me for a sec" Zac says, letting Vanessa know that he really was scared.
"Shit that was close huh?" Vanessa says, walking off to her dressing room, with Zac.
In Zac's dressing room
"Sorry" Vanessa says.
"For what Nessa?" Zac begins to unpack his bag.
"For making us late." Vanessa says walking over to Zac and rubbing his shoulders.
"Don't be silly babe, it wasn't your fault. If it was anyone's it was mine for not getting you off me last night" Zac turns around to put his hands around Vanessa's waist and gives her a smirk. Vanessa smiles, and kisses him lightly.
"Yeah, but this morning I woke up a bit before you, and just sat there... kinda staring at you." Vanessa says, a little embarrassed.
"Really? What where you staring at?" Zac looks at her, feeling very proud of himself.
"Do you really wanna know? It'll sound really cheesy."
"Yes I do, tell me." Zac tightens the grip of his hands around Vanessa's waiste.
"Ok... I was staring at YOU. Just thinking to myself how lucky I am to be with you. Your not just a pretty face Zac, you're beautiful inside and out. For a minute I tried to think about what my life would be like without you in it. But i just couldn't. You're the other half of me, and i need you desperately. I was thinking about making love to you, I was thinking about when I kiss you, when i hold you. I was just thinking about loving you." Vanessa suddenly shed a single tear, and it landed straight onto Zac's arm. She didn't know why she was crying though, but she couldn't help it.
"Why are you crying Nessa?" Zac tried to comfort his girlfriend.
"Because of how much I love you." Zac was slightly confused, but then realised.
"Oh Nessa, I'm not going anywhere, trust me. I feel the exact same way about you; you never need to question that. Without you, my life isn't worth living. You are my night time, my day time, and my entire world." Zac wipped the tears off Vanessa's face, along with a bit of mascara.
"I love you Zac, and I know you do. I'm not saying that i don't have trust in all of that, I'm just saying--"
"You don't need to explain youself Vanessa Anne, I know what you mean. And listen, we don't have to tell everyone about us, because think of it this way. If we don't tell anyone, we'll get that burst of excitement after we finish shooting, and then i can just jump onto those luscious lips, for as long as I want. Ok? Trust me." Zac leans in and lifts Vanessa's head up ans smiles. "Ok?"
"Ok Zac. I do trust you. I'll always love you, no matter what."
