"Hey Gabi" Troy said into the phone
"Hey Babe ! Whats up?" Gabi asked while watching old Full House reruns.
"I was wondering if you wanted to join me for dinner tonight at Le' Boulanger? My roomie had a reservation but he caught the flu. He gave them to me this morning saying that he had already changed the reseration name to 'Bolton' to I had to take them." He said quickly
"Hmmmmm, I'm tempted but –"
"Gabi please! I'm willing to do anything to make you come." Troy said cutting her off.
"Ok fine. What time?"
"Uh… how does 7:30 sound like to you?" Troy insisted
"I think that sounds perfect." Gabi said
"Yes!" Troy said
"This is so sweet of you."
"Yea I know.." he laughed
"Troy?" Gabi asked questioningly
"Yea hun?"
"You sound nervous. Are you ok?"
"What? Nervous? I'm not nervous what makes you think in nervous?"
"Um…. Well maybe that fact that you just said all of that in 4 seconds and you voice is quivery."
"Well I'm not."
"Ok, just wondering. I'll see you tonight"
"Ok, Love ya"
"Love ya to bye!" then they both hung up.
Troy's Dorm
1:45 pm
Trot turned to his roomie once he hung up. His roomie Trevor was lying down in bed reading an old issue of Sports Illustrated.
"Dude Trevor, I'm hecka nervous for this date."
"Why? You and Gabi go on date's like every week. What's so different about this one? Your never like this. Just Chill!" Trevor said .
"This isn't just a date it's probably the biggest date of me life. I like to call it 'The Date'"
"Ooo…. Sounds fancy" Trevor said chuckling."Tell me more about 'The Date'"
"If you must know, tonight I'm going to ask Gabi to marry me."
"Congrats dude! Can I see the ring?" He said enthusiastically. As if he didn't even have the flu.
Troy then pulled out a box that contained a gourgeous 3 carat diamond ring that said perfectly in the middle.
"I just knew that you two were got be together forever. You guys are like a match made in heaven or something."
"Yea I know. What do you think of the ring? Do you think Gabi will like it?" Troy said afraid of the answer
"Dude are you serious? Gabi's gone love it! Have you told all your other friends yet?"
"Yup. The entire gang (Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, and Jason)"
"Good." Trevor said with a satisfied smile.
Gabi's Dorm
7:25 pm
Gabi was in her room putting the finishing touches on her dress. It was a navy sequined dress she had recently bought from macys. Curls in her hair were held up by pins and one sparkling barrette.
"Gabi you look so pretty!" Gabi's roomie Stephanie gushed.
"You think? It's not too much is it?"
" Girl belive me, Troy's gonna fall in love with you all over again once he see's you in that."
Gabi twirled in front of her full length mirror.She sighed deeply.
"Whats wrong Gabs?" Stephanie asked
"Oh nothing." Not wanting to tell Steph the real reason.
"That was not a nothing sigh that was a something sigh." Steph said determined to get whatever it was out of her.
"Fine… I just wish that Troy would come out and propose to me. I mean, we've been together for like 6 years!"
"Oh Gabi, don't worry. I promise you that he will."
Just then there was a knock on the door. It was Troy
"Knock him dead!" Steph said as she went and turned on the TV.
Gabi opened the door to see Troy in a light blue dress shirt, black pants and matching jacket.
"Hey Babe." Gabi said as she put her arms around Troy's neck giving him a kiss.
"Hey ! Wow! You look stunning!" Troy said almost starting to drool over the sight in front of him.
"Thank you. You don't look bad yourself."
"Thanks. Well lets get goin." Troy said anxiously
The couple walked out into the street and next to Troy's BMW. Troy opened Gabi's door for her.
"What a gentleman." Gabi said giggling.
Troy smiled.
"So what do you have planned for tonight?"
"Well, I was thinking that after dinner we could go for a walk in the park."
" That sounds good to me." Gabi said sounding satisfied
Troy pulled up into Le' Boulanger . He walked around to Gabi's door and opened itfor her. Gabi smiled.
They walked up to a small desk that said Reservations.
"We have reservations here for tonight." Troy said to the middle aged man.
"Name?"he said dulley
"Bolton."
"Your table's right this way."
He led them to a small booth by a fireplace. When they were settled a waiter came around and dropped some menus on their table for them.
"I'll be right with you." The waiter said.Walking away.
As Gabi looked through the items on the menu Troy stared at Gabi.
"Why is she so perfect?" he thought to himself.
"Troy? Troy? TROY!" Gabi yelled.
"What? Oh sorry, I dozed off for a second
The waiter came around and took their orders
"Have I told you that you look gourgous tonight?" Troy said while grabbing onto Gabi's soft hands.
"Once or twice." Gabi said laughing.
They talked for a while as their food arrived. They occasionally stopped to kiss. When they had finished they meals Troy paid the bill and they left.
"The dinner was amazing. Thanks again."
"No problem, anything for you." His voice trembled. Why was he so nervous?
"Why am I so nervous?" Troy thought to himself.
He knew why. He had never asked anyone to marry him before.
"I'm glad Gabi can't see me sweating through my coat." He thought to himself.
"Gabi, let's stop for a second." Troy said as they made their entrance through the park.
"Ok sure, What's wrong babe?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you something."
Troy grabbed Gabi's hands and looked into her eyes for a moment then knelt down on one knee.
"Oh my gosh." Gabi whispered. She had 'shocked' written all over her face.
Troy took a deep breath
"Will you, Gabriella, Montez marry me Troy Bolton?"
