Chapter 21

"Well Troy the truth is I actually I kinda like you too," she said softly so softly he swore to God he was imaging it.

"Wait what," he said.

"I like you geesh do you want me to spell it out in the snow for you," she said but it turned out Troy didn't need that because next thing Gabriella knew Troy was kissing her and she responded wrapping her arm up around his neck and he put his arms around her pulling her closer. After a few moments they pulled their faces away from each others but he didn't pull away from her and she didn't pull herself away either. He leaned his forehead against hers and sighed happily.

"You know that was a lot easier then I thought it was going to be," he whispered.

"What have you been planning it," she said sounding amused.

"Sort of," he said.

"Why didn't you just tell me," she said.

"Well why didn't you just tell me," he answered and she pulled away from him laughing. She started walking again the way they had been going before and he watched her grinning. She turned around and looked at him.

"Well aren't you coming," she said and he ran up to her taking her hand in his as they walked surprised at how at ease he felt doing it.

"So what do we do now," she said as they walked.

"Well we have several options," he said.

"And they are," she said.

"Well one we could pretend this never happened," Troy said.

"I don't like that option at all," she said.

"I agree. We could option two get married and run away together," Troy said grinning.

"Hmm maybe not just yet," she said smiling.

"Or option three," he said.

"What's option three," she said.

"I could ask you to be my girlfriend ," Troy said quietly.

"Well why don't you give it a shot and see what happens," she said smiling. He stopped her then and turned her so she was facing him.

"Gabriella Montez will you be my girlfriend and let me just say if you say no I just might die of a broken heart," Troy said.

"Well I certainly don't want you to die of a broken heart and you're cute and a great kisser maybe I'll keep you around for a while," she said grinning.

"So is that a yes," he said.

"Yes it is a yes," she said and he leaned over kissing her softly.

"We should probably get back to the party I left my purse there," Gabriella said wishing they didn't have to.

"I guess if we really have to," Troy said and they walked back in a comfortable silence holding hands. Troy was so happy he couldn't believe that this was actually going the way he wanted it to and he couldn't help but wonder when everything was going to explode in his face. They walked up to the Evan's house and walked back in and where cornered almost immediately by their friends.

"Where have you guys been," Taylor said while the others stared at their interlaced fingers.

"Why are you two holding hands," Chad said grinning.

"We super glued our hands together on accident," Troy said and Gabriella grinned at him.

"Yep it's horrible actually but I just came to get my purse so of course he had to come with me," she said playing along knowing it would annoy their friends.

"Yeah right like we are going to believe that," Zeke said.

"You guys leave them alone their probably embarrassed I mean who wants to admit that they super glued their hands with someone elses," Jason said and the others looked at him.

"Dude we're just joking," Troy said.

"Then why are you two holding hands wait did you finally tell her you like her," Jason said causing Troy to blush.

"Did you tell everybody but me," Gabriella said amused.

"Maybe well not everybody," he said and she laughed but stood on tiptoe and kissed him softly on the cheek.

"It's okay it's nice to know you were off somewhere pining away for me," she said and all their friends started to aw making Troy blush even more.

"Come on youguys cut it out geesh," Troy said trying to walk away from them still holding onto her hand.

"Bye you guys," Gabriella said as they walked away up to Sharpay's room was where her purse was. She got her purse and they where just about to leave when a song came on Gabriella loved and they danced but that danced soon turned into a lot more dances and they didn't leave until about 11:40. When they finally where driving home Troy couldn't help but look over at Gabriella in the passenger seat every chance he got almost as is he was afraid she would disappear. But too soon they arrived at their houses and Troy parked his car into his drive way then raced out helping Gabriella out of the car. He walked her up to her front door then and turned to look at her.

"So I guess this is it huh," he said almost sadly.

"Yep but tomorrow is Christmas and we can hang out all day," she said happily.

"Yeah true," he said. He leaned forward then kissing her softly on her lips and then pulled back but only slightly their lips still lightly touching.

"Goodnight Gabriella," Troy said against her lips.

"Goodnight Troy," she said softly and she leaned up kissing him lightly then turned going into her house with one more look at him. He grinned and winked at her going down her steps over to his house. She closed her front door behind her and leaned against it sighing. Then finally moved walking past the living room until a voice called out to her. She went back and looked into the living room surprised to see her dad and Jess still up.

"So how was the party," Luke said.

"It was wonderful," Gabriella said leaning against the doorway.

"Oh really well that's good I'm glad you had fun," Luke said.

"Are you okay," Jess said.

"Yes of course well goodnight to you all," she said curtysing and went to the stair running up to her room. Once in there she threw off her heels and went in front of her mirror realizing she was still wearing Troy's suit jacket. She tilted her head to the side and wondered if it was possible that she could actually be glowing. Her cell phone rang then and she reached to her purse and got it out and smiled when she saw Troy's face flashing on her phone.

"Yes," she said answering it.

"Hey could you do me a favor," he said.

"Sure what is it," she said laying on her bed his jacket still on.

"Reach into my right suit pocket and take out the box that's in there," he said. She frowned but did what he said and when she pulled out the ring box she sat up.

"Troy what is this," she said.

"It's my Christmas gift from me to you why don't you open it," he said and she could practically here his grin. She opened it slowly and when she saw the ring dropped the phone.

"Well I guess you like it huh," Troy said and she looked up. He was standing in the doorway of her balcony watching her as he closed his phone.

"It's beautiful Troy," she said softly. He walked over to her and sat down next to her on the bed taking the box with the ring form her. He took the ring out of the box and slide it onto to her ring finger where it fit perfectly. She looked at it then him amazed.

"Speechless huh I am going to bask in that then," he said grinning at her.

"By the way Merry Christmas," he said pointing to the clock that now said 12:03 and he kissed her. When he pulled apart she pulled him back kissing him this time the kiss was a little more passionate then their first kisses and soon they where falling into the bed. He broke the kiss and looked at her.

"I should probably get going huh," he said.

"Yeah I guess," she said now her time to be sad at their departing.

"Hey don't worry there is always tomorrow and the rest of the vacation," he said.

"I guess," she said glumly. He got up and went to her balcony her following close behind. He turned around looking at her sad face. He kissed her softly.

"Don't be sad I could still be pining for you from far away instead of this," he said and she laughed softly.

"Yeah I guess that's true," she said.

"Merry Christmas," he said.

"Merry Christmas," she said and he kissed her once again then left. She watched him sneak down her balcony then go around to his own house and up his ladder into his room. She went into her room closed the balcony door and got dressed in her pajamas. She slide into her bed under the covers. She put her hand in front of her face and she could see the ring on her finger and she sighed. This was turning out to be one of the best Christmases ever.
