Sharpay was finally out of the shower. She was freed from the chlorine her skin was once stuck in, which really relieved her. As she left the guest bathroom and walked into the bedroom, she had a guest who was already waiting for her.
"Zeke? What're you doing in here?"
"...Nothing. H-here's something you can sleep in. I'll wash your clothes from earlier if you want." Zeke handed Sharpay a big t-shirt.
"That'll be nice. Now can you leave so I can get dressed please?"
"Mhm."
Zeke simply complied with Sharpay's words and immediately left the room, leaving the blonde a little bit confused. Why was he waiting for her to come out? And why did he stutter when he gave her the clothes? Suspicious, but she brushed it away and simply got dressed. Sharpay remembered that she had an extra pair of panties in her purse. So she slipped the tee on and rushed downstairs, only to be greeted by Zeke once again.
"Can you hand me my purse?"
"Yeah."
Zeke grabbed the blonde's designer handbag and handed it to her.
"I'll be back Zeke."
Sharpay returned to the guest bedroom and quickly slipped her panties on, feeling a small gush of wind brush against her private area. As she made her way back downstairs, she walked past Zeke's bedroom, before making a double-take.
"That's his room?"
Being herself, Sharpay decided to go in and snoop around in Zeke's room. Already, when she comes in, something catches her eye. It's a picture of her and Zeke when they were freshmen, smiling at a camera that Ryan probably owned. There was a note under it that read, "We'll recreate this pic one day..."
"What're you doing in here Shar?"
Startled, Sharpay directed her attention from the picture to her boyfriend.
"...I-I was just looking around."
"Did you touch anything?"
"...No."
"Are you lying to me?"
"Of course not Zeke. Would I lie to you?"
"I'm not sure if you wouldn't Sharpay."
Zeke's harsh words made Sharpay feel some type of way, even though he didn't mean to make it sound like that.
"...Oh."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No. I mean, you're right, I would still lie to-"
Sharpay was cut off by someone's arms snaking around her, bringing her into a hug. Zeke didn't mean to make it seem like the blonde hasn't changed, so this was an attempt to apologize for his words.
"I'm sorry Sharpay. I didn't mean to say that. You wouldn't lie to me, right?"
"I would never do that to you, I promise."
They broke away from each other after a while, feeling a layer of awkwardness brush against them.
"...Sooo, what do we do now?"
"Whatever you want to do."
"Then we should stay up here and watch something."
"Okay. Fine by me."
Zeke ran downstairs and grabbed Sharpay's purse, along with his phone, before going back up to his room to see Sharpay making a makeshift bed on the floor.
"What're you doing now?"
"Making myself a bed, on the floor. I know you don't want to sleep with me just yet-"
"I do. Trust me, I do want to sleep with you."
"...Oh. Okay then."
Sharpay scrambled to put the pillows on the floor away, as Zeke giggled while he watched what was in front of him. After that, he pulled back his clean comforter and got in bed, making himself comfortable already.
"...Are you gonna stand there all night?"
Sharpay slipped into a trance, not realizing it until the guy in front of her pointed it out for her.
"...Oh. My bad..."
The blonde quickly got under the covers and into Zeke's muscular arms, feeling safe from knowing that she was being protected by them now and in her sleep.
"...Well, goodnight Shar-"
Zeke was cut off by Sharpay straddling him, already sitting on his waist. The sudden switch-up in the girl's attitude made Zeke get a little bit nervous.
"...Shar, what're you doing?"
"Something I've honestly wanted to do ever since we met each other."
While leaning over Zeke's chest, Sharpay laid her first peck on his sweet lips. She knew that it wouldn't be the last one, as Zeke pecked back before embracing her into their first kiss. Sharpay couldn't keep leaning over the one under her so she just made herself comfortable on his chest, lips still connected to his.
