15.

Chad shuffled through the hallway discarding clothing as he went. He was halfway inside the bathroom tugging off his jeans when he paused and tilted precariously close to falling over.

He blinked taken aback at the bathroom mirror.

Leaning back against the doorjamb for support he kicked off his jeans.

There was a note on the mirror scrawled in Sharpay's brightest red lipstick.

He recalled that he'd once used that exact shade in a fit of irritation to write 'marry me' across the mirror. Sharpay had been furious that he'd used her lipstick, but he'd pointed out that she'd wanted it in writing, and so he'd given it to her.

She hadn't had much to say to that.

She'd wiped the mirror clean and they hadn't mentioned it since.

Pick up your clothes, read the first line.

He glanced out seeing the trail of clothing and with a sigh went to retrieve the scattered clothing. He returned to the bathroom and dumped it in the hamper, which he noted, was glaringly empty.

Shave, read the second.

He started the shower sitting on the lid of the toilet in his boxers and pulled out his shaving kit from under the sink.

Shower, read the third.

His lips twitched at that and he sat his razor and shaving cream on the counter next to the sink and turned to the shower.

It was steaming hot just the way he liked it.

His shower was quick and efficient and he was out in ten minutes. Feeling slightly refreshed he dried off and slipped into his robe.

He turned to the sink surprised to see that the mirror had been wiped clean of the steam and Sharpay's list was gone.

Something new was written in its place.

Yes, written in large red letters and then at the bottom where he had to squint to see, now come to bed.

He grinned and punched a fist into the air for good measure.

It had only taken her two months to say yes to his proposal, but yes was the answer he'd wanted.

Still grinning he swept a hand over his five o'clock shadow.

"Forget about shaving," Sharpay called out, "and come to bed."

Feeling slaphappy and valiant he didn't need to be told twice as he made a mad dash to their bedroom.
