Wow. Now I know what girls feel like when they can't decide what to wear.

Troy could not decide what to wear if his life depended on it. He wanted to look really nice fro Gabriella.

He stood in front of the mirror, examining himself.

"Lookin good Bolton."

He said to the mirror.

He was wearing a soft light blue button up shirt with a white shirt under, slightly faded jeans and his nicer pair of shoes. And to finish if off he put on his leather jacket.

Not bad. He checked his watch. 6:45.Well I guess I better go get her. He was nervous but excited. He hoped everything would be ok.

He drove up to the complex, found her door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened and he was greeted by Gabriella.

She looked like a goddess.

She was wearing a light purple knee length satin dress. At the neckline there were embroidered flowers that led to the sleeves. Her hair was down in curls. She looked very elegant.

"Hi Troy." She said.

"Hi, wow, you look amazing." Troy said.

"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself. Well should we get going?" she grabbed her purse.

"Yeah, lets go." They headed out to the car. 10 minutes later they got to the restaurant.

"Wow Troy, this place looks amazing." Gabriella looked around admiring it.

"I told you." He said smiling.

They got seated in a nice quiet corner to themselves. The waitress came by to take their order. They ordered then started talking.

"So Gabriella, do you still sing much?"

Gabriella laughed.

"Well, no, not really. I focused on my studies. What about you?"

"No I haven't. At least not since High School."

"Yeah. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?" Gabriella said.

"Yeah, it does."

They started talking about old memories from High School. Then there dinner came.

While they were eating Troy asked a question.

"So, umm, Gabriella, just curious, but have you had any boyfriends or anything lately or at all?"

Gabriella gave him a funny look.

"No, I haven't. I've been single all through college."

"Well, that's quite an accomplishment. I would think guys would be swooning over you."

She giggled.

"No, not exactly. What about you Troy, had an girlfriends lately?" She said.

"No, never. To busy with school and basketball." He said.

"Oh, that's surprising." She laughed. He smiled.

The rest of the night they talked about school, her job as a teacher, him and basketball, and everything else they could think of.

At about 8:30 they left. It was still light outside. The sun was setting. Troy got an idea.

"Its kind of early, do you want to drive to the park and take a walk?"

"Sure, why not."

So they drove tot eh park and started walking around. The wind started picking up and made Gabriella shiver.

"Are you cold? Here." He handed her his leather jacket.

"Oh, thanks."

They stopped by some trees to watch the sunset. Gabriella leaned against a tree.

"(Sigh)….its so beautiful. I remember when I was little I used to love watching sunsets."

Troy looked over at her. She looked so pretty with the sun shining on her. He couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over to her. She gave him a strange look.

"Troy, are you ok?" she asked.

He put his hand on the tree to support himself. By doing so he also had her closed in between them.

"Nope I'm not ok." He answered.

Then he leaned in and closed the distance between them. It was a soft gentle kiss. He tried to put all his emotions into it. Then he deepened it a little. He felt her arms start to wrap around his neck. He put his arms around her waist. Then he pulled back. He let go of her, just in case there was an outburst.

"I feel better now." He said to her.

"What brought that on?" she asked softly.

"I don't know. I guess I just couldn't help myself." He chuckled softly.

"Your not mad at me are you?" he asked quickly.

"No, I'm not." She said. They stood silent for a minute.

"Well, I guess we should go" she said.

He nodded his head. They walked back to his car. He drove to her complex and walked her to the door.

"Thank you Troy. This had been the best night of my life."

"No problem, it was my pleasure."

Then very unexpectedly she through her arms around him. He did the same. She smelled of vanilla. My favorite. Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek and went inside and shut the door. Troy stood there in awe. Once he had landed back on earth he walked to his car and drove home.

Hmmm...this really could be the start of something new.
