Author's Note: WOW I just looked at my last update date and I feel SO BEYOND bad right now I can't believe that it's been that long! I Have to first start by saying that I am so sorry for not updating in SO long...I sometimes forget about this story which isn't good because when I started this story I was so focused on it and couldn't think of anything other than it. I don't know if there is anyone even interested in still reading this thing...somewhere in the back of my mind updating has come to mind but then I think nooo I'll just update later it's not anyone is still interested in this...I'm updating now because I am determined to update all 3 of my stories within the next few days...because this the story that hasn't been updated in the longest it the one being updated first. I just read Chapter 11 and I have to say that I honestly forgot I even wrote that chapter. I once again have to say how sorry I am for not updating in SO long if there is anyone still reading please forgive me...I just get so unmotivated sometimes right now I'm working on getting remotivated so please bare with me.

Disclaimer-I own jack squat so please don't sue me cause I don't have any money.

Cut Offs (This chapter title kinda doesn't have anything to do with the chapter but then again it does soooo yea...)

"So what do you think...should we do it or not...your vote decides" She eyes the sparkly blonde shooting daggers her way wincing

"Ugh...No?"

"AWWW...come on Tay you know that you want to!" Sharpay exclaims more than disappointed that Taylor isn't on her and Chad's side

"I do but I agree with Zeke I don't think that we should follow them...whatever is going on between them they're going to tell us when they're ready" Sharpay rolls her eyes in annoyance even though she knows that Taylor has a point

"FINE!" She huffs while plopping down onto her couch next to Chad who is just as miffed

"Come on babe we don't even know if anything is going on" Zeke says trying to appease his girlfriend

"That's why we would spy on them! ...I mean all the signs are there...they've been ditching us WAY more than they usually would...they've been more touchy feely! I know something happened between those two" Chad drops to his knees facing Taylor

"Please Tay Please can we follow them...the not knowing is killing me!" Taylor rolls her eyes at her dramatic boyfriend

"NO!

"Why not?"Chad wines sounding very much like a child

"Because it's wrong... as their friends we need to trust them to tell us about whatever it is that is possibly going on with them in their own time...we can't invade there privacy and break their trust in us"

Chad huffs before joining Sharpay on the couch "Fine!"

"They're gonna be like this the whole night aren't they" Zeke asks Taylor while watching there pouting significant others

Taylor rolls her eyes in annoyance "Unfortunately"

"Just great" Zeke mutters not all at in the mood for a brooding Sharpay "Troy and Gabriella better tell us what's going on and soon"

"They would want to-I'm not going to put up with this for too much longer"

"Yeah-They better enjoy tonight because pretty soon I'm going to be joining Shar and Chad in the spying business"

Taylor chuckles "Me too"


"Can you please tell me where were going?" Gabriella asked for about the millionth time that night. After driving to Troy's house and parking her car in his garage just in case Ashley decided to pull some physco stuff and drive by Troy's house even though Gabriella had told her that he would be going out with the guys that night, her and Troy were off where to she didn't know because Troy refused to tell her where they were going even though she had asked plenty of times

"Brie you've asked the same question every other minute for the past 20min and my answer has been the same, so please tell me what makes you think I'm going to tell you now?" Troy asks not at all bothered by Gabriella's constant questioning. Had it been anyone else they might have been irritated but since he had grown up with the brown eyed girl he was now used to her sometimes childish but unintentional habit

Gabriella pouts crossing her arms and sticking her bottom lip out a bit causing Troy to chuckle at his girlfriends actions "I was hoping that you would be a good boyfriend and decide that not telling your wonderful loving and caring girlfriend where your taking her is mean"

Troy smiles at Gabriella taking one hand off the steering wheel to reach over and grab Gabriella's hand. Even though she is a bit put off by him at the moment Gabriella does not protest when he takes her hand and starts to run his thumb gently over her knuckles in a calming manner "If I told said wonderful loving and caring girlfriend where we were going then that would ruin the surprise"

Gabriella sighs "You know I hate surprises Troy!"

Troy scoffs in disagreement "Yeah right...you LOVE surprises what you don't like is not knowing what's going to happen...I know you Brie and I know that you want to control what's going to happen tonight but you gotta trust me I love you and I'm not going to let you down alright"

Gabriella quickly kisses Troy's cheek in apology "I do trust you Troy I just really want to know what we're doing!" Troy opens his mouth to say something but Gabriella continues "But if you want it to be a surprise then I'll stop being such a brat and just enjoy the ride"

Troy smiles glad to hear Gabriella's response "Thank you"

Gabriella once again leans over and places a kiss on Troy's cheek "Your welcome"

If you got money, and you know it
Take it out your pocket and show it
Then throw it like
This a way (uh huh)
That a way (uh huh)
This a way (uh huh)
That a way (yeahhh)

"Can you get that for me it's in my gym bag in the back" Troy asks hearing his phone ring. Gabriella leans back a bit shuffling around in his back a bit before coming across the familiar iphone

"Who is it?" Troy asks seeing the irritated look on Gabriella's face


"ASHLEY?! What the hell is she calling me for" Chad asks while looking down at his still ringing phone

"I don't know but you should answer she won't stop until you do" Taylor says also curious as to why Ashley would be calling Chad's phone

"Yeah I guess" Chad finally presses the green button on his phone connection the call "Hello"

"Is Troy with you" Chad pulls the phone away from his ear looking at it in confusion for a second before putting it back to his ear to hear that Ashley is still talking "...Cause Gabriella said that he would be with you tonight and I rode by his house just to be sure and his car isn't here so I was just wondering if he was with you"

"Yes he is actually" Chad say not hesitating to lie to the deranged girl "And just for future reference you are not his girlfriend so you do not need to check up on his where abouts if anything your making yourself look a bit desperate...now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to what I was doing but I'll be sure to tell Troy that you were once again being his stalker bye!" Chad hangs up before Ashley can say anything else. He turns to his curious friends "That girl is-"


"INSANE!-if you think that I'm going in there you are out of your mind" Gabriella exclaims as she stands in front of the familiar shop

Troy chuckles amused "Come on you don't have to get anything this is actually for me"

Gabriella turns to Troy one eyebrow arched in curiosity "What do you mean for you"

Troy smiles while walking closer to Gabriella and wrapping his arms around her waist to keep her close to him" Well I've been thinking about this for awhile and I know that this is what I want"

Gabriella smiles while wrapping her arm around Troy's waist "Just because I have mines does not mean that you have to get yours. I got mine because I wanted to I don't want you to feel like you have to get one to return the favor I love mine and I wouldn't change it for anything I don't want to pressure you into doing this I know that you love me so there is nothing that you need to prove to me"

Troy smiles touched by Gabriella's words he leans down and places his forehead against her own taking a deep breath as though breathing her in. He closes his eyes and rubes his nose against her own in an Eskimo kiss "I want to do this I want something as forever as you and me because that's what we are Brie, I love you and forever it what I'm going to spend with Gabriella Anne Montez "

It's Gabriella's turn to be touched by words "She leans up and connects her lips with Troy's in a short but sweet kiss "I love you too Troy Alexander Bolton"

Troy smiles big before pulling away "Now that that's established let's get my tattoo"

Gabriella chuckles as Troy eagerly pulls her into the tattoo shop "Something tells me that this is going to be a night that I never-"


"Forget….just forget what I said you guys were right she is crazy" Taylor rolls her eyes

"Yeah I think we get it I mean she is knocking on your door right now"

"Do I open it or not?" Chad askes confused about what he should do. Sharpay stands up heading towards the front door

"No I open it, you guys go into the kitchen and I'll handdle this" Her friends nod before making there way into the kitchen. Sharpay waits till there out of view before opening the door. She can't help but roll her eyes when she see's Ashley standing there "Can I help you" She askes her tone nothing short of irratated

"What are you doing here?" Ashley askes having expected for Chad to anwser the door being that it is his house

"The real question is what are you doing here, and if your going to say looking for Troy I suggest you stop while your ahead, he is not interested and would really like it if you would back the hell off"

"Has he said those words himself?" Ashley askes need clarification. Sharpay huffs in annoyance at Ashley's persistance

"No he hasn't but I've known him basically all his life so I'm pretty sure that I know when he doesn't like someone" Ashley smiles an annoyanley smug smile

"Well until I hear those words leave his mouth I will contuine my pursist" Sharpay rolls her eyes tired of Ashley's stalkerish behavior

"Whatever bye!" Before Ashley can utter another word the door is slammed shut in her face.


"Bitch Me Out!" Troy chuckles as he hears Gabriella's saying of the moment

"So I'm taking it you like it?" Gabriella's gaze shifts from Troy's new tattoo to lock with his bright eyes. The smile that graces her face anwsers Troy's question before Gabriella has to chance to voice it

"I LOVE IT!" She steps closer to him so that there standing chest to chest "And I love you" She says softly before connecting her lips with his for a short but sweet kiss

"Good...now how about we go back to my house and eat the wonderful dinner that I cooked for us" Gabriella chuckles

"You cooked?" She askes knowing that even though he is a great cook he hardly ever did because he was so lazy. Troy rolls his eyes when he detects the slight trace of belief in Gabriella's voice

"Yes I cooked" He ignore the skeptical look Gabriella shoots him "I know that I don't really do it often but beside the point that this is a special occasion I didn't want to risk the chance of being spotted by someone we know" Gabriella's skeptsism (I know this is spelled wrong :P) dissaperas and a smile graces her face as she hears Troy refer to there date as a special occasion

"Thank you" She quickly kisses his cheek "But we could have went out we went to dinner tons of times with just the two of us when we were just friends" Troy smirks

"Yeah when we were just friends but that's changed now and I don't know about you but I know that I want to be able to enjoy the company of my girlfriend whom I plan on showering with sweet kisses all throughout dinner" Gabriella smiles big now her heart warmed by Troy's sweet words

"Well then lead the way" Troy takes Gabriella's hand and the two start to make there way back to Troy's car "Hey Hun?" Gabriella askes once the two are seated in Troy's car

"Yeah?" Troy anwsers turning his attention to her

"Why'd you get your tattoo there?" She askes while taking his right hand in her own and running her thumb across his inside of his wrist where his tattoo lays Brie

"You know how most people think that basketball is the top priority in my life"

"Yeah?"

"Well everytime that I take a shot I want to see the force that drives me to be who I am...I want to be reminded of the love and stregenth that you give me...but most importantly I want the world to see the name of the one person who will always be number on in my life" Gabriella's eyes cloud with unshed tears as she hears Troy reasoning. She closes her eyes for a second wondering how she ever got so lucky to have him in her life

"How did I get so lucky to have someone like you love me?" She askes while opening her eyes to stare into Troy's ocean eyes. She sighs as Troy takes the hand that she isn't holding and gentely places it on her cheek before placing his forehead against her own

"You didn't get lucky...I did...your love makes me who I am so without you there wouldn't be someone like me to love you" Gabriella's heart swells hearing Troy's words

"I really do love you" She whispers unable to break Troy's gaze

"And I really do love you" He responds before closing the space between them connecting his lips with hers for a kiss filled with so much love that it causes warmth to travel through both there bodies. There hearts beating in unison as the love between them only grows
