Chapter 8

The next morning, Troy woke up and at first couldn't remember what had happened yesterday. Then he saw Gabriella sleeping next to him with her head on his chest. And then he remembered what had happened. Gabriella had moved back in with him. He had missed the feeling of waking up next to the love of his life. He wanted this to be how he woke up for the rest of his life.

Troy then slowly, trying not to wake up Gabriella, got out of the bed and walked to his drawer. He then opened up the bottom drawer and took out a small box. He opened up and inside the box, sat a sparkling engagement ring. He had had the ring for almost a year now. Before they broke up nine months ago, Troy had bought the engagement ring and was going to propose to Gabriella real soon but then they broke up and he had missed his chance to propose to her. But now that they were back together, he wanted to propose to her, but he didn't want to rush it. He would propose eventually but for now, he would just concentrate on being with the most amazing girl in the world.

Hearing a shuffling coming from the bed, he quickly put the box with the ring back in the bottom drawer. He saw Gabriella moving in her sleep, so he quickly went to the bed and climbed back in to the bed.

"Where did you go?" Gabriella asked when she woke up to hearing him get back in bed.

"I had to use the bathroom, babe." Troy lied knowing she would be suspicious if he said he was looking through his drawers.

"Okay babe." Gabriella said and they both went back to sleep.

They both woke up an hour later because they had to get ready to go to work at school.

"You can go get a shower first, Brie." Troy said when they both woke up.

"You sure, Troy?" Gabriella answered.

"Yes, Brie. Go ahead." Troy said and kissed her on the lips then let her go to the bathroom so she could get in the shower.

Half an hour later, Gabriella was out of the shower and then told Troy he can get in now. Troy didn't take as long. It only took Troy ten minutes to take a shower.

At approximately 6:30, they both left the house and headed for East High. When they got there, they shared a kiss and went their separate ways to their classes.

When it was both their free periods, they met up in the rooftop garden. And they ate lunch there. They were talking about how their days have been.

"My day is great now that I'm with you up here." Gabriella said.

Troy smiled and leaned over to kiss her. Gabriella instantly responded to the kiss. They smiled into the kiss loving the feel of each others lips on their own.

A minute later, they stopped kissing for air and the bell rang meaning they had to go their separate ways. They groaned because they didn't want to go to the classes they had to teach.

By the end of the day, Troyella missed each other terribly and when they met up at the end of the day, they both smiled.

Troy and Gabi headed back to their house and stayed there in each other's arms for the rest of the day. They loved being in each other's arms.

Troy started thinking about the engagement ring that was sitting in his bottom drawer at this very moment. He was thinking about when he would ask Gabriella to marry him. He knew it was so soon since they started dating again. But he wanted Gabriella to officially be forever his. He wanted her to officially be Gabriella Bolton. He decided that he would ask her within the next couple of months. He just had to figure out how he would ask her.

He then stopped thinking about that and focused on Gabriella, so that she wouldn't get suspicious as to why he was lost in thought.

"I love you, Brie." Troy said smiling.

"I love you too, Troy." Gabriella also said smiling.

Troy and Gabriella's life was perfect with them being back together. But Troy wanted to make it more perfect by asking her to marry him.

Troy had never known anyone like Gabriella. She was beautiful, amazing, and the most perfect person he'd ever known. He couldn't imagine his life without her. He needed her and wanted her to have the same last name as him. She was constantly on Troy's mind. Even after they broke up, she was still the only thing he thought about. He just couldn't stop thinking about her.

"What you thinking about, Troy?" Gabriella asked noticing he had a far away look on his face.

"Oh just how beautiful and amazing you are. And how happy I am that we are back together." Troy said snapping out of his thoughts.

"Awwwwwwwwww Troy. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you, babe." Gabriella said with happy tears.

"I love you too, babe." Troy said smiling and he then leaned over and kissed her.

For the rest of the night, they just sat there holding on to each other. Then around 11 o'clock, they went up to their bedroom and climbed into bed. They fell asleep with Troy have his arms wrapped around Gabriella and Gabriella snuggled up next to him.

Everything was almost perfect. Only one thing would make it completely perfect. Being Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton.
