"Ryan. What are you doing here Wildcat? Why aren't you at the talent show?"
"I guess I'm not in the mood to see a show that's true purpose is a kind of shrine to my attention-loving sister."
"Well you sure clean up nicely."
Her comment was directed to Ryan's outfit which consisted of a red and purple design shirt, navy blue blazer, white pants, and a yellow-tan fedora hat.
"Thanks." They shared a laugh with each other as she stood aside and ushered him inside.
"Come on in, can't stand in the doorway and talk all night now can we."
"Right." Stepping inside the now familiar house, he followed her upstairs to her bedroom. After which, they both stepped out on to her balcony, near the railing.
"So, I heard about your break up with Troy." Ryan brought up hesistantly.
"Yeah. Chad told you?"
"Yeah. How are you doing, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Not at all. Um, I'm doing okay I think. Really good in fact. I think Troy and I are better off as friends anyway. Especially since I started liking someone else over the summer."
This surprised Ryan. He thought Gabriella was seriously in love with Troy. But now she like someone else?
"Oh. Do I know him?"
"Yes. Very well in fact."
"Really? Wow. Care to help me out a little here? I've never been good at guessing games."
"Well, he's really cute. Is a great singer and amazing dancer. Not too bad at baseball either. He recently started to show his true self a little more by stepping out of his sister's shadow."
Gabriella then took a step closer to Ryan and they were now factions of inches away, staring intently and deeply into each other's eyes.
Whoa, thought Ryan.
"And he makes me laugh. Lights up a room with his dazzling smile. And loves hats."
Holy crap.
"It's you Ryan. Not Troy, you."
She could tell Ryan was is utter shock so she took matters into her own hands. Lips really. Covering his lips with her own in a soft, yet passionate kiss. She felt him respond immediately, kissing her more forcably and wrapping his arma around her waist. She welcomed the feel of his arma around her and brought one of her hands to rest loosely on his shoulder as the other caressed his cheek.
He couldn't even believe what was happening. First Gabriella was confessing her feelings for him to him and then her lips were on his. Not that he minded. He had been dreaming of this moment since the first time he ever saw her. But he thought she was in love with Troy. Apparently not.
Finally pulling back, not by much since their lips were still centimeters apart, they're eyes met in an instant, blue on brown.
"This is real right? This isn't some dream or fantasy, I'm gonna wake up, and none of it's real?"
"It's real Ryan." She said then kissed him. "I love you." Murmuring those powerful words across his lips.
"I love you too Gabby."
She smiled that big smile again before they leaned in, sharing another kiss.
One of many more to come.
A/N: Just a short little oneshot I wrote. Got the idea after watching HSM 2 last night. And don't worry those of you wondering about 'What I've Been Looking For', it's almost all written, I just have to post and that's it. Also, I was thinking of writing a M-rated Ryella fic but I've never done it before so it might not be that good. But if I do post it, please review it if you're interested. Thanks!
