Gabriella sighed softly as Troy's lips connected with hers again, their goodbye kiss had turned into a make out session in Troy's car but neither were complaining.
"El," Troy breathed as he moved his lips across Gabriella's cheek to her ear, nipping softly at the lobe as he struggled to control his breathing enough to get the rest of his sentence out. "If you don't get out the car within the next thirty seconds you're gunna become acquainted with the backseat of this car."
Gabriella groaned gently at the playful threat, knowing full well that she would happily get to know the backseat if it meant she didn't have to leave Troy and his lips in exchange for her friends and their questions.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving," Gabriella mumbled, capturing Troy's lips with her own once more. "Right after I get one. Last. Kiss."
Gabriella placed the final kiss on Troy's swollen lips, biting her own bottom lip gently as she ran her hand through his soft light brown hair.
"Call me?" She asked softly, her brown eyes sparkling in a way that made her irresistible to Troy.
He attached his lips back to Gabriella's, swiftly entering his mouth with his tongue as Gabriella gasped in surprise.
Gabriella found herself unable to resist kissing Troy back, her own tongue massaging his, sucking him further into her mouth, suppressing her moan as his hands located her hips and slipped under the material of the hoody she was wearing, rubbing small circles onto her stomach with his thumbs.
The sound of Gabriella's phone ringing throughout the car tore them apart, each panting heavily as Gabriella fumbled around in her purse for her phone while Troy caught his breath.
"Hello?" Gabriella managed to get out as she flipped open the phone and brought it to her ear.
"Where are you Gabs? Me and Tay wanted to take you out for brunch so we could hear all the details of your date. You sound like you just got done fucking."
Troy stifled a laugh at the blonde's comment about Gabriella's lack of breath, her voice was so loud Troy could hear her easily from the driver's seat.
"I'm just about to walk in the building, Shar. I'll see you in a few minutes," Gabriella replied, shooting Troy a glare as she carefully dodged Sharpay's comment.
"Okay, you better have some juicy details since you stayed out all night with him. Toodles," Sharpay said happily, clicking the phone off before Gabriella had a chance to reply.
"I better go, if I'm not in the apartment in a few minutes Sharpay will come out here looking for me, and if we're making out in your car I can guarantee she will die of excitement," Gabriella laughed, making Troy's smile grow at the sound of her musical laugher.
"Txt me when you've been interrogated to within inches of your life?" Troy asked as he tucked a curl behind Gabriella's ear.
"Okay, thanks for the date, Troy. It was, well it was one of the best nights of my life," Gabriella admitted sheepishly, casting her gaze down to her knees.
"It was the best night of my life… to date," Troy teased. "Can I see you tomorrow?"
"I'm working at the hospital until seven?" Gabriella replied, realizing that the next day was Monday and she had her first shift at the hospital, her theory part of her internship was relatively complete, and now she was to be working on real live humans.
"I have a staff meeting until half past six, I'll pick you up and we'll go out for dinner?" Troy asked, not knowing how many days he could go before seeing Gabriella again.
"Sounds good to me," Gabriella said with a nod, slinging her bag on her shoulder. "Thanks again, Troy."
"You're welcome, El."
Troy kissed Gabriella sweetly on the cheek before she opened up the door and got out the car, continuously looking over her shoulder at him until she got inside her apartment building.
Troy waited until she had disappeared from his view before he pulled out his phone and tapped on the buttons quickly, smiling as he hit the send button before he tossed his phone onto the passenger's seat and started up his car, wondering what stupid questions Chad had in store for him when he got home, dressed in the clothes he left in the night before.

Gabriella smiled as she picked up her phone and looked at the message Troy had sent to her when she got into her apartment building. She never knew four small words could make her smile so much.
Missing you. T.
The words flowed through her mind as she put the phone back down on her bed, quickly getting dressed to go out for brunch with Sharpay and Taylor.
Gabriella had managed to get out of being questioned so far, but she knew that once she stepped out of her room the questions would fly, and she didn't think she was going to be able to stay calm and collected when that happened.
Slipping on a pair of black flats to complete her outfit Gabriella took a deep breath before exiting her bedroom, her two best friend's head's shooting up as they heard her door open.
"So how was he? Can he fuck as good as he can finger?"
"How many times did you guys have sex?"
"Did you do it any place weird?"
"Does he go straight for the score or does he like to warm up first?"
"Taylor! Sharpay!" Gabriella scolded. "Firstly, I did not have sex with Troy, so come up with some new questions. Secondly, can we try to keep our voices down so the whole apartment building doesn't think I'm some kind of tramp?"
"Sorry," Taylor replied sheepishly, standing up from the couch and walking over to Gabriella, linking arms with her as she started to lead her out of the apartment. "So tell us what happened last night, and don't leave any details out."
"We went to dinner and then a movie," Gabriella answered as they stepped out onto the landing to wait for the elevator.
"Honey, that is leaving out about a million details, now get talking," Sharpay demanded with a laugh.
Gabriella giggled at her friend and took a deep breath.
"Okay okay, we went to this little restaurant just outside of town…"
It was going to be a long walk to the restaurant.
--
Troy smiled as he finally parked his car in the underground parking lot of his apartment building and he could read Gabriella's reply to his txt.
Missing you too. El xxx.
His smile grew even wider as he read the reply through a few times before he got our of he car and tucked his phone into his pocket.
He quickly checked his car was locked before he headed to the elevator to go up to his apartment.
In the elevator Troy braced himself for the crude jokes from Chad and the few possible questions that would come from Zeke, but when he opened the door to the apartment he was hit not with questions but with silence.
Strolling through the living room and into the kitchen Troy looked at the refrigerator for a note, knowing that's where they always left notes if they needed to leave one for the others.
Meet us at the restaurant when you get home. C and Z.
Troy nodded at the note before turning and heading out of the kitchen and to the shower, knowing he needed a hot shower before he faced his friends.
--
Gabriella rolled her eyes as they approached Baylor's knowing full well that Taylor and Sharpay had planned to take her there incase Troy happened to be there as well.
"Subtle guys, and he might be here, his best friend Zeke owns it," Gabriella informed her friends with a smirk as she spotted the dark man she remembered as Troy's friend and who Troy had said was the owner of the restaurant.
Zeke noticed Gabriella and waved her and her friend's over.
"Hey, Ella," Zeke greeted. "Would you lovely ladies join us for a bite to eat?"
It was obvious to Gabriella and Taylor that Sharpay and Zeke were eyeing each other up and so Gabriella quickly accepted his offer, allowing him to lead them through the restaurant to a hidden booth at the back.
"Chad, you know Ella, these are her friends, uh…" Zeke stammered, realizing he didn't know the two girl's names.
"Sharpay and Taylor," Gabriella introduced, pointing at each of her friends as she said their names.
Zeke slid in next to Chad and Sharpay took up the small bit of space on the edge of the bench next to Zeke, leaving Taylor and Gabriella to slide in on Chad's side of the booth.
"Troy should be here soon, Ella,' Chad smirked. "He's probably just showering so that he doesn't smell of…"
"Don't even finish that sentence, Chad," Gabriella warned.
Chad smiled sheepishly at which Taylor giggled at, causing Gabriella to roll her eyes when she realised that her friends were most definitely crushing on Troy's friends.
Slipping out her cell phone Gabriella quickly typed out a message.
I think Tay and Shar are crushing on your boys. El xxx.
Troy was just hopping back into his car as his phone beeped and he picked it up, expecting it to be Zeke or Chad telling him to hurry up.
Chad and Zeke? Where are you guys? T.
Troy sat waiting for the reply, and when his phone beeped indicating it had arrived he quickly flipped open his phone.
At Z's restaurant, can't wait to see you. El xxx.
Troy let his phone drop onto his lap as he quickly started up the car, trying his hardest to stay under the speed limit as he hurried to get to Zeke's restaurant, wanting to see Gabriella again, and to save her from the possible questioning she was getting.
But Gabriella wasn't getting questioned at all as he arrived at the restaurant because Taylor, Sharpay, Chad and Zeke were all too wrapped up in their own conversations to even realise Troy had arrived.
Gabriella quickly stood up, allowing Troy to place a soft kiss on her lips in greeting.
"Hey you," He teased.
"Hey," Gabriella smiled back, taking one of Troy's hands in her own and sitting back down at the booth, tugging him down to be sitting next to her.
Troy rested his free hand on Gabriella's thigh, smirking as he still went unnoticed by the flirting pairs that were made up of his and Gabriella's best friends.
"At least they're too busy to question us," Troy whispered into Gabriella's ear, sending shivers down her spine as his breath tickled her.
"Don't jinx us," Gabriella whispered back as their best friends all suddenly noticed Troy was at the table.
"Well, well, well. Look who it is, lover boy!" Sharpay exclaimed loudly causing Troy to blush.
"So dude, I guess the date went well?" Chad teased, attempting to duck as Taylor's hand connected with the side of his head. "Ouch!"
"Of course the date went well, lunkhead!" Taylor scolded.
"Can the ones who went on the date be the judge of that?" Troy asked, smiling down at Gabriella.
A/N: Okay so I hadn't planned on writing this tonight, but after I got done with By The Way I had a need to finish this one, so there we go! Now who picked up the way our two lovers will be keeping in contact? And two possible new couples… Triple dates anyone?
