After Dinner.

Troy unlocked the door to their small house and the both of them walked inside. Daisy greeted them with whining because she was left alone for a couple of hours.

"Hey Daisy!" Gabriella said to her puppy.

Gabriella walked over to the small couch and Daisy jumped up onto her lap while Gabi pet her. Troy came beside them after he put the keys away and the leftovers in the fridge. He sat down on the couch and pet Daisy while greeting her.

Gabriella took one quick glance at the clock and was surprised.

"It's 10:30 already? We just got back from dinner!" she exlaimed.

"Yeah, but remember we had a late dinner too.." Troy replied.

"True. I'm really tired, so I'm going to bed."

"Alright, I'll be up in a few minutes. Let me lock up."

"Okay."

Gabriella started walking up the stairs while Troy locked the front door and made sure the back door was locked as well. He then motioned for Daisy to follow him and walked upstairs, shutting the doorway's light. Daisy quickly followed him upstairs and they walked into the bedroom. Gabi was in the bathroom, already changed into some shorts and a t-shirt to sleep in. Troy grabbed a pair of shorts and threw them on, then Gabi walked out of the bathroom pulling her hair into a ponytail.

She walked over to the bed and slid under the covers while Daisy hopped up to sleep at the foot of their bed. Troy quickly threw his jeans into the hamper and got in bed.

"Goodnight. Love you, Gabi."

"Love you too."

Troy gave her a quick goodnight kiss before she instantly fell asleep, he followed a few moments later.

The next day.

Gabriella woke up right beside Troy colder than ever. She cuddled closer to him to keep warm. She buried her face in his neck and instantly fell asleep again. He awoke around 20 minutes later to find Gabriella shivering as she slept, so he wrapped his arms around her and lay there for a few good minutes before she was awake again.

"Good morning.." he said as she moved her head.

"Morning.." she replied.

"You cold?"

"Freezing.."

"Yeah, I can tell, you're shivering a lot."

"Oh.. that's why I came closer to you."

"Yeah, I can see that. It is kind of cold.. I can go turn the heat up a little if you want.. then make some breakfast."

"Okay, let me get up."

Troy got up and went to turn the heat on a little more. Gabriella just walked over to her dresser and pulled out some sweatpants and one of Troy's hoodies and threw them on. She was colder than ever.

Troy went into the kitchen and made some eggs and toast and they sat down and ate breakfast.

"Hey, do you want to go with me shopping today?" Gabriella asked.

"Um..I guess.. what for?"

"I just need some new clothes.. that's all."

"Okay.. sure."

So a little while later, they left and drove off to shop.
