Troyley?

Ashley led Troy up to her hotel room; nobody gave her a second glance, because the hotel she was staying in was filled with famous people. As she went Troy stared in awe at Rihanna and another girl sitting in the hotel lobby chatting without a care in the world. The hotel had very high security so no paparazzi could get in, so stars could just laze around like normal. It was great. They went into a large elevator with mirrors all round the sides of it, it was quite disconcerting.
"So…" Troy said after a few moments of silence, "What are you doing here?"
"Let us not make small talk Troy, please." Ashley said and looked at him with an arched brow.
"Sorry."
"Don't apologise, I can't begin to imagine all the questions in your head at the moment. Why did I vanish? Why didn't I write? I want to explain but I just can't"
Troy stopped her from speaking with a finger to her lips. "Hush it. I don't want to speak about that, all that matters is I've found you now, and that we can be like we were before, right?"
"Well Troy, a lot has happened…" Ashley said and raised an eyebrow, "It wouldn't be like it was before."
"I know but… we can still be friends right?"
Ashley smiled then, "We will always be friends."

They were silent then, both watching each other. Ashley didn't know what it was but there was something, something that made her want to throw herself at him. The feelings she had once had just seemed to resurface. Her eyes clouded over with lust. Troy looked at her and she glanced away. Just then the elevator came to a sudden stop. The atmosphere was tense. But in a good way. They walked along to her room.

"I was just gonna hang about for a bit before going out for dinner, wanna join me?" Ashley asked and looked at Troy.
"The hanging out or the dinner?"
Ashley shrugged, "Both?"
"Sounds good to me." He said as she inserted the card into the slot and the little yellow light came on meaning that it had been successful. She opened the door and as she did she felt Troys breathing hot on her neck. The door closed behind them and they were instantly on one another. Troys hands on her hips, pulling her to him, her hands around his neck, lips touching in the most feverish of kisses. Troy picked Ashley up, and continued to kiss her, losing his fingers in her long blonde hair, he had missed her, and he had wanted her for so long. And now she was here, he had her. There was truly nothing better.

They went out that night after their evening of passionate love-making and held hands as they went along the boulevard, looking much like every other couple. In fact Ashley didn't even mind when paparazzi took pictures of her. She posed with Troy and laughed along as the paparazzi asked her questions and they both said 'no comment'. Troy felt a small rush, he was quite enjoying this, and he could get used to it.

They dined at a lovely Italian restaurant and Troy even took the liberty of paying, although Ashley didn't know where he had got the money from, he hadn't mentioned getting a job or going to university. But she wasn't going to ask.

Ryan and Gabriella spent their evening in the hotel, celebrating their engagement. They drank champagne and ate strawberries, they spoke and they kissed and they cuddled, they watched movies and talk about what kind of a wedding they could have.
"I think it should be a beach wedding. Wouldn't that be nice? Getting married on the beach…" Gabriella said with a smile. "What do you think?"
"Whatever you want babe, I'll get married wherever you decide on. I promise." He kissed her and she returned it. Falling in love with him all over again. Part of her couldn't believe he had proposed, or how amazing her life was turning out. It seemed after years of tension, doubt and fear as well as the constant heavy atmosphere and an awkward feeling, that it was all falling into place now and everything would be brighter from now on.

The next day Ashley happened to notice the cover of a magazine as she was walking to work. Last night had been what she felt like, was perfection. Troy had taken her back to her hotel and then he had gone and driven home during the night. They had promised to meet up in the next week before she had to go back to England. Although there was a part of her that was thinking about staying in America for a bit longer, she was just here to release her single and film a video, then talk on a few shows and leave for England again. Then she had to do a few concerts there, and release a new single there, it was all very frustrating and stressful. Celebrities always looked like they lived the high life, but they really didn't.

She saw a magazine with her on the cover and ordered one of her bodyguards to go and buy it. They were really there only to protect her from Zeke should he ever show his face, she was terrified of that. But it was getting a bit easier, especially now she had conquered her fear and come to America. And Troy had been so kind about everything, so she was definitely going to speak to him when she next saw him, about everything.

The magazine said on the front page on a small panel, "Who is Ashley Tisdale's Mystery Man?" and it was just a small article that basically said she was a pop star from the UK trying to make it big in America even though America was her homeland anyway, and she had been spotted out last night with a mystery man, holding hands and posing with him. Ashley couldn't help but laugh when she read "Perhaps this is Ashley's cure after the heartbreak Richard Fleeshman caused her?" because she really hadn't been terribly hurt, just more annoyed. But she didn't need to let anyone know that.

------------

Troy drove back to Albuquerque in pure bliss, pleased with himself. He had finally got the part of Sharpay he had always wanted, her heart. Surely she wouldn't have slept with him otherwise? But he had to admit he was a little irritated with himself, so overwhelmed by her beauty and the fact that she was standing in front of him, lying in his arms, shrieking his name, whatever else they had done, he hadn't confronted her. She had even tried to explain herself and he hadn't wanted to hear it. He would need to bring it up when he met up with her. They had exchanged numbers again, and promised to keep in touch. This time he knew she would.

-------------

Someone else saw the magazine article, someone else who had been let out early for good behaviour, someone who was not happy with the sight of the young woman with Troy Bolton, holding his hand and laughing. It had always been what he had expected hadn't it? And that angered him. He crumpled up the magazine and threw it into the bin beside the outdoor bench he was sitting on. Zeke Baylor was free, and he was not happy.
