Saving Her . . . . The Date

[A/N: Read and Review!]

Saturday Night

"Gabi you done?" Miley asked as her best friend got ready in her closet.

Miley bought a dress, specially for Gabriella's date, with none other than Troy Bolton! It's like years to her waiting for this to happen. And finally, Gabriella came out in a turqoise, flowy, dress that reaches above her knees. She also put on some black high-heeled gladiator shoes.[Clothes links on my profile!]

"Okay.. Let's put this on," Miley grabbed a long, nicely-shaped, gold necklace and put it around Gabriella's neck.

"Are you sure I look okay?"

"You look fine now Shush!" she instructed as she added a little bit more orange-y blush on Gabriella's cheeks.

"Wha-?" Gabriella got annoyed with all the make-up,"Okay, okay, okay.. I'm done!" she waved Miley away.

"Yeah you're done," she begin to pack up her make-up bag.

Gabriella looked at Miley and noticed how big her smile was on her.

"You look great, you should have eye make-up on more often. It really brings out the brownish-black of your eyes, I mean like, seriously," Miley complimented as she put her hands on her hips.

Gabriella walked infront of the mirror and really look upon herself. She did look stunning and so not, pale. Make-up really did something.

"You excited?" Miley grinned.

Gabriella turned around, placing a hand on her hip,"and so nervous."

"It's always like that on the first dates," Miley sat cross-legged in the middle of her bed, slightly looking down.

"Something tells me you have more experience than I do," Gabriella smirked as she sat at the corner of the bed. Turning her body towards Miley, arching her eyebrow.

"Well," Miley got nervous as she chuckled.

"Who?"

"Well," she repeated,"I have been to ALOT of dates."

"And why's that?"

"Same old thing, it's either we just think that things will never work out between us, we just remain as bestfriends. I'm happy if we can keep our friendship but at times it can be kinda awkward if you know what I'm saying."

"Trust me," Gabriella paused,"I don't," she admitted while shaking her head.

"And, there's always alot of cases like, cheating on your girlfriend and when she wants to sort things out about it, the boy rudely dumps the girl."

"Ouch," Gabriella responded.

"And..' she got nervous,"some even just, use you," her voice trailed off.

Gabriella gasped, "Miles you didn't- " she got cut off by the doorbell.

They both turned their heads to the door which was opened.

"He's here!" Miley grabbed Gabriella's arm.

The girls rushed downstairs. Miley gently pushed Gabriella away from the door so it'll be a surprise to Troy. They breathed deeply as Miley turned the doorknob and Troy appeared in smart attire, appropriate for a date.

"Hey.." she greeted normally.

"Hey Miles."

A few seconds of silence passed.

"So..." Troy hinted her.

"So what?" she pretended to act dumb from the incident.

"Gabi!" Miley called out and reached for her friend.

Gabriella finally walked to the door after her heart had thumped against her chest for too long. Troy awed at the sight of her, she looked gorgeous.

"Hey," Troy greeted and she greeted back.

They looked at each other for awhile and Miley just think that they're wasting much time. She rolled her eyes and sighed while the lovebirds were still gazing upon one another.

"Have her home by midnight!" she shoved Gabriella out the door and eventually, she fell into Troy's arms.

Troy and Gabriella frowned their eyebrows at Miley who smiled widely at them.

"Bye!" was the last word before Miley shut the door on them.

"O...kay..." Troy and Gabriella said in unison at Miley's awkward actions.

They turned to face each other.

"She's kinda right, we shouldn't waste any time," Troy stick out his hand.

Gabriella took it with a nod and that giggle of hers and they walked to the car. About 15 minutes passed and finally Troy pulled up his car at a curb. Gabriella looked around and found out they're at the beach while Troy went out of the car and being a gentleman, he opened the door for his date.

"Erm, are we going for our date or-" she got cut off.

"That's exactly where we're going," he replied softly with a grin.

Troy brought her through the beach. They spent some time walking on the seashore, enjoying the sight and the sounds of the waves in the ocean. It was just so beautiful especially how the stars twinkled in the sky and how the wind made Gabriella's hair "fly" just making her more gorgeous for Troy to admire.

"Okay, seriously! Where are we going?" Gabriella got irritated.

"Why?" Troy wrapped his arm around her waist as they kept walking.

"I dunno about you, but these heels are killing me!" she took them off immediately. She wasn't used to wearing high-heeled shoes.

Troy just chuckled. Gabriella looked back up to him.

"Troy..." she said, begging him to answer her.

"Geez Gabi.. Just wait and see.." he smirked mysteriously.

Gabriella just sighed with smile and a shook of her head. But, she kept studying her surroundings and when she looked ahead, she was kind of flustered when she realised they were heading towards some trees. Then, they stopped.

Troy held Gabriella's hand firmly in his and gave it a tight squeeze as he walked infront of her.

"Close your eyes," he said with a low tone and his breath could have reached Gabriella.

She didn't want to argue and chuckled slightly while her eyes fluttered shut. Troy took both of her hands and led her carefully and slowly past those palm trees, past some old lamp posts and finally;

"Okay, open your eyes," he instructed.

Gabriella slowly opened her eyes, at first having a blur vision of the place but after blinking a few times she saw an amazing sight which took her breath away as she gasped. The place was right at the seaside and the sounds of waves filled the air and they had a perfect view of the full moon and a star-filled sky with the old lamp posts lightly dimmed. Not forgetting the main attraction, a gazebo that has plants twirling around its structural posts and a dinner setting, in the middle of it, that is completed with a candlelight and a single lily flower, the colour of pure white and a hint of yellow.

".. Troy.. This, this is.." she stammered, not knowing what to say.

Troy went over to her and placed his palms on her shoulders, nearing his mouth to her ear, "Let's have dinner, shall we?"

He let her go and they walked in the gazebo, sitting down and had their meal.

"You just got here a few months ago and you could find such a," she looked around and awed,"such a Fantasyland."

"Well then, I guess I'm more adventurous then you are I suppose."

"Oh really..?"

He looked up from his plate,"No joke."

She giggled as he fed her a spoonful of steak with the best-tasting barbeque sauce ever.

"I've heard you like lilies," he handed the white flower to her and she received it with a twinkle in her eye.

"Who told you that?"

"Well, I got a little help from Miley Ray Stewart."

"Why am I not surprised?" she said with sarcasm.

A while later

They lied down on a mat and watched the stars and created funny and creative constellations.

"Haha, oh look! There's one that looks like a rabbit. See the fluffy tail?" Gabriella pointed out.

"Nice one. And, there's your star over there," Troy pointed to the exact star.

"Hey, you remembered," she sat up.

"Of course I do," he sat up too,"and you know what I call that star?"

"What?" she arched her eyebrow.

"I call that, Gabriella."

She pushed him playfully,"stop joking," she rolled her eyes.

"I'm serious," he told her.

Troy ran up to the gazebo to take something and went back to sit by the ocean next to Gabriella.

"A certificate?" she took it from him.

"Read it."

She read and her eyes widen but after a while she looked at Troy with a really happy smile.

"You named a star after me?" she questioned, wanting to confirm.

Troy nodded proudly of how honoured and happy he made her.

"This is unbelievable, am I being punked?" she started to stop believing it.

"Gabi, it's your star with your name. It's officially yours," Troy assured her.

Gabriella awed and allowed herself to rest on Troy's chest. Troy was puzzled but he was surprised and brightened with a smile as he placed an arm around her, hugging her as she began snuggling against his neck. She breathed in the scent of him as silence passed them.

Gabriella began feeling awkward. I shouldn't have rested on him in the first place! She thought. She looked up and found Troy's deep, blue eyes probably been staring at her for the past few minutes. She started to pull away from the embrace but it seems that Troy's not giving in to her. Finally, he remove his hand and allowed her to sit up. Gabriella had the chills. Troy had those serious eyes on her but to be honest, he looked real hot. When she opened her mouth to murmur something, he immediately brought his finger to her lips followed by a low, soft Shh.. Slowly, Troy brought his palm to the back of her neck and caress it lightly, sending shivers down her spine.

"Stay still," he whispered as his face got nearer to hers and his breath became heavy.

Their eyes were shut, they were an inch away from each other and lightly and gently, they pecked each others' lips for a second and pulled away from it but still remained in their positions. They locked lips again and things went more tensed. They covered the gap between them as Gabriella leaned on him, grabbing his hair and kissing him with as much passion he is giving. Troy wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, ensuring she's as close to him as possible. They moved and adjusted their positions, not breaking the hot kiss. Troy leaned his back on a rock with Gabriella on top of him.
