A/N: I thought since Valentine's Day is coming up I would make up a bunch of one shots of our favorite couple. I will be using various love songs through out the chapters!
Thanks to HorseLover20693 for the idea in this chapter!!!

"Come on Gabi, come out with us." Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi pleaded with me.
"Where are we going?" I asked them finally getting tired of them whining.
"We're just going to the mall. You need a girls' night away from Troy." Kelsi told me smiling.
"I've had nights away from him." I told them in my defense.
"But you haven't had a girls' night in a long time. We'll go out to dinner and then go see a movie." Sharpay told me.
"Sounds good. Ready?" I asked them grabbing my purse and heading towards the door.
We piled into Sharpay's blue VW Bug and headed towards the mall. We sang loudly to the music playing on the radio. Sharpay soon pulled into the mall's parking lot and we all got out.
We linked arms as we skipped into the mall. We hit the local restaurant first before deciding what movie to go see.
"What movie girls?" I asked as we sat around a red and white checkered table.
"How about Take the Lead? It's supposed to be amazing." Sharpay said her eyes going wide.
"Sounds good to me. Hey Gabi, it seems you've caught the attention of some guys." Taylor said giving me a quick glance.
"Who?" I asked whispered while looking behind me.
"They're the fourth booth from the left." Taylor told me discreetly looking over in their direction.
"Go talk to them Gabi." Kelsi told me giving me a quick look.
"Um . . . hello have you forgotten about my BOYFRIEND?" I whispered loudly. I peaked back over my shoulder and saw a guy with brown hair shake his head and laugh before turning back to the girls.
"It's harmless fun." Sharpay said quickly before I gave her a look.
"No I'm not going over there." I told them my mind thinking back to Troy.
"Come on Gabi it's one night." Troy yelled from the ground as I stood on my balcony.
"It's not just one night. I've got a huge test tomorrow that I'm not nearly prepared for." I yelled back to him.
"I promise I'll have you in early." Troy told me laughing.
"It's never early with you bud." I told him shaking my brown locks.
"Can I come up and watch you study? I won't disrupt you or anything." Troy told me holding his hands up.
"Come on. You sound pretty convincing when you want to." I told him before watching him jog around the side of the house. I heard the doorbell ring a few minutes later.
"Now remember you can't interrupt me." I said pointing a finger in his direction.
"I swear on my mother's life that I won't disrupt you." Troy told me jumping on my bed.
"We'll see." I told him cracking open my book and starting to read the words on the page.
No more than a few minutes later, Troy caught my eye and grinned. He leaned over and started giving me butterfly kisses on my cheek. I pushed him away softly before going back to read the chapter. He laughed and started reading the notes I took the day before.
A few more minutes later he started rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand. I squeezed his hand; a silent reminder of our deal. He just shook his head and stopped. Every few minutes he would do something just to remind me that he was there by my side.
"Troy." I said warningly looking over in his direction.
He instantly put his hands up in the air as I laughed and went back to my studying.
"Mr. Bolton you're treading on thin ice." I told him after he started throwing paper balls at me.
"I'm terribly sorry Miss Montez." Troy replied chucking another in my direction.
I threw it back before turning my attention back to the book in front of me. Finally I threw the book aside and looked over at Troy. I leaned over and kissed him.
"Finally came to your senses?" Troy asked me pulling me on top of him and giving me a gentle kiss.
"I couldn't concentrate on what I was reading while you were sitting right there." I told him before he reached up and kissed me again.
"Girls it seems we've lost her." Sharpay said waving her hand in front of my face.
"What?" I asked breaking out of my daydream and looking at the three girls expectantly.
"Where were you?" Kelsi asked me as I gently shook my head.
"I was just thinking about something." I told them. Before I knew it, a smile crept across my face.
"You were thinking about a certain brunette hottie. Keep him out of your mind, just for this one night." Taylor told me.
"I can't help it. He's always with me." I told them before glancing at the group of boys behind us.
"They're still there, Gabi, and they're still staring at you." Sharpay told me.
"Go tell them I'm not interested." I told them waving my hand up to remind them of the ring that currently sat on my finger.
"Well then I guess I'm going to have to tell Troy you're not interested." Kelsi told me standing up quickly.
"Wait? What do you mean?" I asked turning around and grinning.
There, exactly where Taylor told me to look, were Jason, Chad, Ryan, Zeke, and Troy. He caught my eyes and just smiled at me.
"I'll be back." I told them before they could stop me and walked over to where they were sitting.
I caught Troy's eyes immediately as I walked closer to the table. The guys gave Troy a look which he ignored.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked walking up to the table and looking at the guys.
"What do you mean? You're interrupting our guys' night." Chad told me smiling.
"Well you're interrupting our girls' night. You knew we were coming here." I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Well it wasn't my idea." The guys, minus Troy, all told me holding up their hands in innocence.
"Who's bright idea was it?" I asked looking over at Troy's bright blue eyes.
"You're boyfriends. Now if you excuse us, we're going to say hi to our girlfriends." Chad, Jason, and Zeke said walking over to our table.
I took a seat and looked over at Troy. He held out his hand for me to take which I did.
"Well hello. Didn't I just see you a few hours ago?" I asked leaning over the table towards him.
"You sure did but it's always good to see you. How's your girls' night going?" Troy asked me.
"Um . . . not too well since my mind has been on you the entire time." I told him hanging my head.
"Same here. Except my thoughts have been on you." Troy told me smiling.
"The girls pointed out your table and I just told them that I'm happy with you and I wasn't interested." I told him smiling.
"The guys did it to me too and I just rolled my eyes." Troy told me.
"I love you." I told him smiling.
"I love you too." He told me before we both leaned in and kissed each other.
"All right you two, break it up. We've got a movie to go see." Taylor told us as they all came back.
"Wait you guys planned this all along?" I asked looking at our friends with wide eyes.
"Yeah Taylor told us what was going on and we planned everything identical. We knew you two would eventually figure it out." Chad told us.
"Thanks guys." Troy told them before we joined them, our hands linked together.
We went and saw the movie we had originally picked out. Troy took me home afterwards. We sat on the front porch and talked a few minutes.
"Thanks for surprising me." I told him squeezing his hand.
"Not a problem. I thought it was a good idea but my mind's been on you the entire night." Troy told me.
"So has mine. I guess I should go inside now." I told him standing up.
"Stay out here for a little longer, please?" He asked me smiling.
"I guess I could." I told him sitting back down on the swing.
We stayed quiet just gazing up into the stars until I made a move to get up. "I have to get inside. I've got a busy day tomorrow." I told him smiling.
"All right. I guess I could let you go. Good night sweetheart and sweet dreams." Troy said standing up and giving me a kiss.
"Good night Troy. And thanks again." I told him walking into the house.
He watched me go until I was safely inside the house. I watched him walk down the stairs and to his car before driving into the darkness.
I'd rather be with you, baby
You know what you're doing to me
You're the one, the only one
That sets it all on fire
Yeah you, baby
It's only time
I'll make you mine
You know you can't deny me
Come a little closer baby
And tell your friend
that I'm not really interested
There is nothing more that you can do
The song is "Rather Be With You" by Vanessa Hudgens. Feedback would be great. If you have any ideas for song titles, I would love to hear them!!!
