------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gabby?" a voice said.

Gabriella suddenly looked up. Her coffee was ready. She frowned. She got up and got her drink, and sat down. She closed her eyes, thinking about Troy and her, how they used to be like together, when it was her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Gabriella sipped her coffee, she looked across the street at The Little Black Dress Shop. She examined a strapless dress with fake diamonds sewed onto the embroidery on the skirt. She imagined walking down the isle with Troy's dad; she imagined her mom crying at one of the pews; and she imagined looking ahead, at the groom, at Troy. Someone saying her name again suddenly interrupted her fantasy wedding. She sighed and looked up to see who it was. She immediately looked away from the pair of eyes staring at her.

"Gabby, have you…have you been crying?" Troy asked, looking at her. Gabriella looked confused for a moment, then she touched her cheek and felt a tear come down. She bit her lip and swallowed before saying, "I guess I have been."

Troy took a seat down next to her. "Gabby, listen. I want a real answer from you. Why did you leave me standing there after I proposed?"

Gabriella took a deep breath and sighed. "Troy, I don't want to fight again. And, I already told you. I wasn't ready, and neither were you. You were going to leave."

"Gabby, I understand that. But we're both ready now, and you told me that you loved me, doesn't that count?" Troy said

"Yes, but Troy, you're engaged! Sharpay is my best friend! And I'm not ready now, not until you prove to me that you actually, truly, really do love me the way I've loved you for the last ten years." Gabriella said, leaning back on her seat.

Troy scooted his chair closer to Gabriella's and took hold of both of her hands. "Will this help you believe that I love you?" Troy whispered, pulling her forward and put her lips onto his. How could something so wrong, be so…right? Gabriella thought, deepening the kiss, putting her arms around Troy's neck. Troy rested his hands on Gabriella's waist and put her on his lap. Troy pulled back and rested his forehead on hers. "Why don't we go somewhere a little more…private?" Troy said. Gabriella just nodded and they went into Troy's car. Sharpay and the others had already left to go to the florist to look at the bouquets, so the house would be empty when they got there.

When they got out of the car, Troy picked up Gabriella and they began to make out again, and they haven't even opened the front door yet! They were lucky, since the front door was already opened. Troy still carried Gabriella as he walked up the stairs and opened his and Sharpay's room and locked it. Troy laid down Gabriella on the bed and Troy was on top of her. Gabriella moaned with pleasure as he began to kiss her neck while she unbuttoned his shirt. "So is this what I've been missing all these years?" she whispered seductively into his ear. Troy smiled as he started taking Gabriella's top off. They got under the covers, and the did their business…until they heard the front door open with Sharpay saying, "We're ho-ome!!"

Gabriella and Troy looked at each other worriedly. They both put their clothes back on hurriedly and Gabriella mouthed 'Where do I go?' Troy looked back and forth and he got an idea. They both sat down next to each other on the bed and opened up Sharpay's wedding planner book. Troy heard footsteps and realized that the door was still locked. He quickly got up and unlocked it, and sat back down quickly before Sharpay opened the door.

"So, how do you think that'll look at the wed- oh, hey Sharpay!" Gabriella said, smiling.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Sharpay asked, looking at the both of them.

"Well, I wanted to help plan stuff for our wedding's after party and I needed a girl's help, so I got Gabby." Troy lied.

"Aww, so you guys are friends again?" Sharpay said, smiling at the two.

"You could say that." Gabriella said, winking at Troy when Sharpay wasn't looking.

"I'm glad. I was worried that you guys wouldn't speak to each other at all!" Sharpay said, going up to the both of them and hugging them. "Now, I got to go back to the dress shop, Kenzie's dress's hem just ripped. See you at dinner!!"

Sharpay walked out of the room and closed the door, leaving the house with Kenzie. Troy and Gabriella looked at each other, not sure of what to do.

"So…" Gabriella said, looking at Troy.

"Why don't we just…err…go downstairs to see if Zeke made any snacks?" Troy suggested.

"Ok…" Gabriella said. They both went downstairs and went into the kitchen.

"Oh, hey guys!" Zeke said; there were about four trays of desserts on the counter.

"Hey Zeke, soo…what did you make?" Gabriella said while Troy laughed at the way she said it.

"What? I'm hungry!!" Gabriella said, crossing her arms, and then she started laughing.

"Well, so am I, but you don't see me talking to Zeke like that." Troy said, putting his hands on his hips.

Zeke smiled at the two. "So, do you guys want some chocolate éclairs?"

"YES!!! Ha! He made my favorite! Not yours! Chocolate éclairs totally own your crème brulèe!!" Gabriella said, sticking her tongue out at Troy. She remembered that yesterday Zeke had made Troy's favorite dessert and she got mad at Troy, without him actually knowing.

Zeke laughed as he handed a small plate of chocolate éclairs to Gabriella, "Here you go, Gabs. Troy, there's some crème brulèe in that tray over there."

Troy smirked at Gabriella, who glared. He took some crème brulèe and said, "Thank you Zeke. It's great to see someone mature once in a while."

Gabriella gasped and hit Troy on the arm. "Meanie!!" she said.

Troy laughed, and dipped his finger in his crème brulèe and put some of it on Gabriella's nose. Gabriella did the same, except she put it on Troy's chin. She stuck her tongue out at him again, and ran upstairs to her room.

"Get back here Gabriella Montez!!" Troy said, chasing her.

Gabriella laughed so hard she fell on her bed. Troy smiled deviously and walked up to her and started to tickle her.

"St-st-stop!!!!" Gabriella said between laughs.

"Not until you say, 'Troy Bolton is the sexiest man on earth'!!!" Troy said, continuing to tickle her.

"Never!!" Gabriella coughed out while she laughed. Troy smiled, and kept tickling her,

"Ok!! Ok!! Troy Bolton," Gabriella started, still being tickled. "is the…sexiest man on EARTH!!"

Troy stopped. "See, it isn't that hard to admit the truth." He smiled at her.

Gabriella looked at him innocently for a few seconds, and said, "NOT!!" she laughed at him. Troy frowned at her. Gabriella sat up and whispered into his ear and said, "Troy Bolton is the sexiest man, in the universe."

At that, Troy closed the door and they started to do what they were doing earlier. Again.
