Vanessa walked out of her yoga class feeling great. Stella followed along beside her as they navigated their way down the sidewalk.
The two sisters made their way to the nearby spa to get their nails and hair done. Vanessa sat in the chair and told the lady she wanted her natural color back. Stella sat beside her, messing around on her phone.
When Vanessa was done with her hair, both girls began to get their nails done. After getting her manicure done, the lady was almost done with her pedicure.
"Everyday" started to play, making Vanessa and Stella laugh. Vanessa giggled and grabbed her phone, writing a text message.
"Everyday…of our lives….." She smiled as she waited on a response. She quickly opened it up when her phone buzzed a minute later.
"Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight." Was the response she got from Zac, making her smile like crazy.
"It's playing in the nail salon. It made my day."
"You didn't think I'd remember the lyrics, did ya Hudgens?"
"Mayyyybeeee. : ) What r u doing? I miss u like crazy baby."
"I miss you, too. I just got back to the house with Bubba. We are skateboarding on the patio. Are you and StellBell having fun?"
"I wanna see him! And yes, we are."
"Then come see him, silly goose."
"I don't want to interrupt boy time : ( "
"You won't babe. Bubba wants to see you too. Plus a visitor is on his way over now."
"Visitor? Who?"
"Not telling :P"
"You sure I won't be interrupting? Stella is with me too."
"I'm positive, baby. Come over."
"See you in twenty."
"That's my girl. Love u."
"Love you xxx"
She put her phone in her purse as the lady dried her freshly painted toenails. "Hey Stellz, can we stop by Zac's for a little bit?"
"No, that's fine, I don't mind at all!"
Vanessa smiled widely. They finished drying their nails and made their way out to Vanessa's Audi.
"So Nessa, what are you doing for Christmas? It's like in three days."
"I don't know. I haven't thought about it. I guess I will just do what we used to? Christmas Eve and Christmas morning here with you and then leave around lunch time to go to SLO."
"Awesome! I can't wait for Christmas!"
Stella reached up, turning on the radio. When she heard Ryan Seacrest say Zac's name, she turned it up as Vanessa started listening too.
"Does Zac Efron have a bone to pick with Austin Butler? Are he and Vanessa Hudgens just a fling? Find out coming up when we replay our interview with him from this morning!"
Vanessa looked at Stella with confusion written on her features as a song began to play. They listened carefully to the interview when it began playing.
"I bet you he was pissed. Ryan sure knows how to interrogate people," Stella commented.
"He did good, though. He is really good at changing the subject without the interviewer really noticing."
She pulled into his driveway after the gate closed and saw Bubba's Audi parked in the driveway. She pulled her car up behind the door that she usually parks inside of. They got out and walked to the front door as Vanessa used her key to unlock it.
They walked inside and immediately were met with the sounds of a baseball game on TV.
"The Giants are SO much better, dude!" Zac said.
"No way! Go Braves!" Bubba replied.
Vanessa and Stella walked into the living room. She placed her purse on an empty chair and put her hand on her hip, smiling big. "Bubba Lewis!"
He smiled widely as he stood up and hugged her tightly, picking her up off the floor slightly. "Vanessa Hudgens!" he joked back, making her laugh. "It's good to see you!" he said as he placed her back on the ground.
"You too. You remember Stella?" she asked as she stepped back. He nodded, hugging Stella.
"Hey Bubba. Hey ZacAttack!"
"Hey StellBella," he smiled from his chair. Vanessa walked over leaned down, kissing him sweetly on the lips. As she went to move away, he pulled her gently onto his lap sideways. She smiled and wrapped her arm around his shoulders, playing with his hair as she and Bubba began catching up.
"Can I get something to drink?" Stella asked Zac.
"Of course, Stellz. You don't even have to ask."
As she got up to go to the kitchen, Bubba went to the bathroom. Zac smiled and gently turned V's face towards him, kissing her passionately. She kissed him back, pulling back after a few moments.
"I missed you," he said as he rubbed her thigh softly.
"I missed you, too. I'm going to miss sleeping with you tonight. I hope I don't have another nightmare," she said as she ran her hands through his hair.
"If you do, call me and I'll come right over. I promise."
She nodded, smiling as the doorbell went off.
She looked at Zac excited since he still wouldn't tell her who the visitor was. "You can answer the door. Go ahead," he smiled.
She jumped up, running to the door. "DYL!" she screamed when she saw her boyfriend's younger brother standing with his hands in his pockets, looking like a mini-me of his older brother.
She hugged him tightly and he used one arm, carrying her into the house as she continued to hug him. He placed her down as they entered the living room. She immediately giggled and sat back down on Zac's lap. Dylan gave Zac one of those friendly handshakes before hugging Bubba and Stella and sitting down on the couch.
They all finished watching the game and talking before Vanessa spoke up. "We're going to go. Let you guys have your boy-time. Have fun at the game. It was great seeing you again!" she said as she hugged Bubba tightly. She then moved to Dylan. "Bye bro-in-law. If I don't see you before you head back, I'll see you on Christmas."
"Cool. Bye Nessa. Love ya." Stella hugged Dylan and Bubba, telling them bye before she hugged Zac.
She then walked outside as Zac walked Vanessa to the door. She turned around as they reached the door and wrapped her arms around his waist, looking up at him. He wrapped his arms around her and tucked a curl behind her ear.
"I love your hair," he said as he ran his hand through the long, black curls.
She smiled up at him. "I'm glad. I do too. Have fun tonight," she said sweetly.
"You too. You and Ash and Stellz are going to have a blast. Doing all your girly things and gossiping about boys."
She giggled at the funny look he had on his face. She leaned up on her tip-toes kissing him. "When are you going home?"
"Um…..I was actually thinking about riding up with Dylan tomorrow so that way I can just ride back home with you after Christmas."
She pouted, but nodded. "That does make sense. I'm going to miss you so so so much." She said as she squeezed him tightly, burying her face in his chest.
He leaned his head down, resting his nose in her hair as he hugged her back. "I'm going to miss you too baby. But just think, next time you see me, it will be Christmas. You're favorite holiday ever."
She pulled back with a big smile on her face. "I can't wait!" She leaned up and kissed him passionately. He leaned down, not breaking the kiss, and lifted her up so she was eye-level with him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
After a few minutes he pulled back for air and placed her back on her feet, squeezing her butt. She giggled and smiled at him. "I love you. Please be careful, especially with Dyl driving."
He chuckled and kissed her once more. "I will. I love you too. Call me later, okay?"
She nodded and smiled before leaving. He closed the door and walked back into the living room.
That night, the girls were all sitting around in Vanessa's living room, watching the Lakers game on TV while eating a margarita pizza they had made.
"I can't believe how much Dylan looks like Zac now! It's so crazy!" Ashley said the camera showed the Efron brothers and Bubba courtside on the TV.
"I know, it's weird! They never really looked alike until Dylan cut his hair." Vanessa replied.
"Oh look! They are going to be interviewed!" Stella pointed out as someone went up to Zac during half-time.
"Hey Zac, it's been a long time since we've seen you at a Laker's game! Who did you bring with you?"
"Hey, yeah I know, I've been busy, but I couldn't wait to get back out here and support my Lakers. I brought my little brother, Dylan and my best friend, Bubba."
"A little guys night, I see. Where's your leading lady at tonight?"
Zac chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "She's at home with Ashley and her little sister. They are having a girl's night."
"I gotcha. Sounds fun. Are you excited for Christmas?"
"So excited! Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I can't wait to spend it with my family."
"What are your predictions for tonight? Are the Lakers going to rally back and win it?"
"Of course! Kobe is on fire tonight!"
"Thanks so much, Zac."
Zac shook the guy's hand before sitting back down in his seat.
"Nessa, you can't have sex with the TV!" Ashley said as she threw some popcorn at Vanessa's face.
Vanessa giggled loudly, "I wish!" She finally tore her eyes away from the TV. "This is going to be so hard! Three days without seeing him! I'm going to die!" she said dramatically as she covered her face with a pillow.
"Puh-lease! We all know that you will call him to come over tonight!" Stella said, rolling her eyes.
"Not uh! They are going out for drinks afterwards! Plus he and Dylan are leaving to go home in the morning," she said with a pout on her face.
"Go see him then! Duh! Dress up all hot and go to the bar they are going to!" Ashley said.
"No, I already interrupted guy time. He hasn't seen Bubba in forever. Plus, this is supposed to be girls night!" Vanessa replied as she ate a piece of pizza.
"But I want sushi, Nessssaaaa! And they will probably go to that sports bar right next to it since it's next to Staples Center!" Ashley whined.
"Okay, okay, we can go!" she said as she jumped up, running upstairs to her room excitedly to get ready.
An hour later and the girls were making their way out to Ashley's Mercedes SUV. Ashley was wearing jeans with a t-shirt and heels. Stella was wearing leggings with a long tank top and combat boots, and Vanessa was wearing a pair of skinny jeans with holes, heels, and a flowy tank top.
Vanessa climbed into the passenger seat as Stella got into the back seat. Ashley pulled out of Vanessa's drive way and began driving towards downtown LA.
Ashley cheered as she found an open parallel parking spot next to the stadium. She parked and the girls got out, paparazzi immediately swarming them.
"Hi Ladies, how are you tonight? Are you guys meeting up with Zac? Ashley, where's Chris? How are you and Zac, Vanessa?"
Ashley looped her arms through Vanessa's and Stella's as they made their way through the crowd and into the restaurant. Vanessa felt her phone buzz as they finished eating their sushi.
"Are you at Katsuya? We just left the game to come to the sports bar and I saw Ash's car out front."
"Yeah, she and Stella wanted some sushi. How was the game?"
"Awesome! Lakers won in overtime! You gonna come see me?"
"If you want me to, you know I will."
"See ya soon. ; ) "
She giggled and put her phone up, looking at Ashley and Stella. "He wants you to come see him?" Ashley asked, knowingly with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. Corbin is over there with them now too. Can we go grab a drink or something after this?"
"Duhhh! Stella can get in though right?" Ashley replied.
Stella nodded, "Yeah I have my ID. I get in now that I'm 18," she said with an excited look on her face. They all laughed as they paid the bill and walked out, walking next door to the sports bar. They showed the bouncers their licenses and were allowed in after Stella received an x on her hand saying she was underage.
They walked in to see the guys they were looking for sitting at a high top table on the other side of the pub. Zac and Corbin were sitting beside each other, across from Bubba and Dylan.
As the girls got closer, they saw a blonde girl walk up to the boys. She walked up to Zac and it looked like she asked to take a picture with him. He looked around to the guys and shrugged, agreeing to take a picture, thinking she was just a fan. As soon as he said yes, she wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him close as a friend took a picture.
Zac pulled away with a shocked look on his face as the girl ran her hands down his chest. "What do you say we leave here?" she asked in his ear.
Dylan looked up to see Ashley, Vanessa, and Stella making their way over to the table slowly watching what was going on.
Without knowing Vanessa was now standing at the end of the table next to Corbin and Dylan, he took the girls wrists in his hands and pulled them off of him. "No thanks, I'm good." He went to turn around, but she grabbed his face and tried to kiss him. Not knowing what to do, he stumbled backwards a bit and tried to pull away, before pushing her back gently. "I said No! I have a girlfriend!" He rolled his eyes as the girl scoffed and walked away. He turned around to see his girlfriend standing there with an amused look on her face. "Hey babe!" he said excitedly, relieved she wasn't angry.
She giggled and hugged Corbin before making her way to sit on the bar stool between them. Zac kissed her softly before resting his hand on her thigh, squeezing softly. She smiled at him and stole a sip of his beer as Ashley ordered her and Vanessa a mixed drink. The seven of them all hung out, talking and having a good time together. They looked up and saw Austin and a few other people walk through the door.
Dylan groaned loudly, having a few beers in his system, "Not that guy! I hate that asshole!"
Vanessa laughed loudly, covering her mouth to keep from spitting out her drink.
As he passed their table, he realized who it was. He gave Ashley a hug, saying hey to her, but not acknowledging anyone else.
"Good to see you too, Asshole," Dylan mumbled louder than he anticipated. Austin looked at him. "I'm sorry, what was that?"
Dylan stood up. "Don't be an asshole to Vanessa. She didn't do shit to you, bro!" Zac quickly jumped up, grabbing Dylan's shoulder, making him sit back down. "Stop, Dyl." Dylan nodded and turned his back to Austin as he walked away.
Vanessa smiled at Dyl, silently thanking him for saying what she was thinking. Zac kissed Vanessa's temple. "You ready to go home?"
She nodded, giggling softly due to her tipsiness. He smiled at her and tickled her softly, "Somebody's got the drunk giggles," he said teasing her. She scrunched up her nose, laughing as she hugged him tightly, nearing falling off the stool. He laughed at her, standing up and supporting her weight before she fell. Corbin called for the waitress.
"How will the bill be split?" he asked.
Zac looked up from Vanessa, "I will," he said, grabbing the check. He placed $300 dollars with the bill and handed it to the waitor. "Keep the change."
"Thanks bro!" he said as he walked away. They all began to get up. Stella grabbed Vanessa's purse, laughing at her sister's drunken state. Dylan who was also quite drunk laughed loudly at a funny voice Corbin did. Bubba wrapped his arm around Dylan's shoulder, stabilizing them. "I'm fuuuuucckeddd up," Bubba said, making Dylan laugh loudly. Ashley, having not drunk anything in the past hour or so, was almost completely sober, along with Stella. Zac was tipsy, well past the legal limit to drive, but was not drunk out of his mind. He always handled his alcohol well and was typically responsible in these situations.
"Alright, let's go," Corbin, said, finishing his beer. Vanessa was standing with her arms wrapped around Zac from the side, rubbing his back softly. When they began to walk, she quickly stumbled in her heels. She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Can I have a piggy?"
He rolled his eyes, smiling and bending down. She giggled and jumped onto his back as they all exited the bar.
"Stay with me tonight, baby," she said sensually into his ear, kissing right below it, driving him crazy.
"What about-?"
"Bubba and Dylan can stay too. I don't care," she said as she rubbed his chest as they walked along the sidewalk.
Zac spun around, "Aye Dyl, Bub, we are staying at V's tonight. Cool? K, awesome," he smiled, not giving them a chance to talk although they didn't care.
Zac stopped when they got to Ashley's car. "I can drive. I'm fine," Ashley said.
"What about my car?" Zac asked. "StellBell, are you a better driver than your sister?"
Vanessa hit Zac's chest jokingly as Stella nodded. Zac tossed her his keys. "No scratches or dents, understand?"
"Yesssss," she said, rolling her eyes. "Come on Dylan and Bubba. You're with me."
Corbin said goodbye as he grabbed a taxi, saying he would get his car tomorrow. Stella walked off with Dylan and Bubba just as paparazzi swarmed Ashley, Zac, and Vanessa. Ashley quickly got into the passenger's seat.
"Dude, I can't see with all the flashes!" he said trying to make his way to the passenger side. The paparazzi kept taking pictures, making Vanessa giggle loudly as Zac tried his hardest to open the door. He placed her on her feet before lifting her into the car and buckling her up. He then closed the door and got into the back seat.
"Fuck you!" he said to the closed door as Ashley sped off.
"You guys are ridiculous!" Ashley said, laughing at them. "Zac, where did you park so Stella can follow me?"
He sat up, leaning forward between the two front seats. "Take a left, now a right. I'm right up there on the right." He explained as she followed each direction. She pulled into the parking lot, seeing that the three of them were just now getting to Zac's car. They laughed loudly when Dylan picked Stella up, twirling her around quickly.
"DYLAN NICHOLAS PUT ME DOWN!" Stella screamed at him, kicking her legs around widely.
Vanessa reached over and honked Ashley's horn, scaring Dylan. He put Stella down and flicked them off, walking to the passenger side of Zac's car. Bubba was already in the back seat as Dylan climbed in. Stella rolled her eyes and got into the driver's seat just as flashes started going off. Ashley pulled off as Stella followed her through downtown Los Angeles.
"Ash, can you PLEEEASSEEEE go to Carl Jr.s? I would kill for a hamburger right now." Zac said, leaning his head against the side of her seat.
"They are closed. What about McDonalds?" she said.
"Perfect! You're the bomb!" he replied excitedly.
Vanessa squealed when she heard her favorite song come on the radio. She turned it up and started singing.
"To my home girls here with the big butt, shaking it like we at a strip club, remember only God can judge ya, forget the haters 'cause somebody loves ya!"
Zac started singing along in a high-pitched, girly voice, making both Vanessa and Ashley burst out in laughter. When the song went off, the girls were still laughing at Zac's version of the song.
"You might want to let Miley stick to singing that song there, Zac," she said as she rolled down the window to order.
"Oh, please. You loved my singing!" he said as he rolled down the back window.
"Zachary Efron, stop it!" Ashley said as the lady came on to take their order.
"Welcome to McDonald's what can I get you?"
z: "Can I get a Whopper, please?"
"Sir, this isn't Burger King."
Z: "Damn! Does that mean I can't have it my way?" he joked, making the paparazzi hanging out around the car laugh. "I'm just kidding! I'll have umm some chicken nuggets…"
"How many sir?"
z: "Um…20. And a large fry and ummm a chocolate milkshake and a big mac….baby do you want anything? Ash do you?"
v: "no, I'll eat some of yours."
A: "Can I get a cheeseburger with no onions and a diet coke, please."
Z: "and then we will have 20 more nuggets."
"So that's 40 chicken nuggets, a cheeseburger with no onions, a large fry, a chocolate milkshake and a diet coke?"
z: "Boom! That's it! Great job!"
"That will be 21.96, please pull around."
"Someone is cranky," Zac mumbled, making the girls giggle. They were waiting in the drive thru line as paparazzi began asking questions.
"Is that a hickey on your neck Zac?" one of them asked. Zac busted out laughing at the same time Vanessa giggled into Ashley's shoulder.
They pulled up to the window and the lady freaked out. "OH MY GOD YOU ARE ZAC EFRON! AND VANESSA HUDGENS! AND ASHLEY TISDALE! HOLY SHIT! Zac can I please have a picture with you?!"
Zac laughed at her reaction. "Yeah, of course." He went to open the door, but struggled. "Sorry, I'm a little drunk," he mumbled. He finally got out and leaned towards the window as the girl handed Ashley her phone.
"Whoa, wait. You gotta let me wear the drive thru mic for the picture," Zac said holding out his hand. The girl handed it over and Zac posed as Ashley took the picture.
"Thank you so much! Vanessa was that your little sister in the car in front of you guys? She looked just like you!"
"Yeah, that's my little sis!" Vanessa said as Zac paid for the order.
"Well the cute guy in the front seat was ALL over her! Are they dating?"
Zac's eyes went wide. "No…no they aren't. When you say All over…..?" he asked questioningly.
"He was just very very flirtatious!" she said as she handed back his credit card.
Ashley smiled and pulled up to the next window. "I'm going to kill that little shit," Zac mumbled.
"He is just drunk, let him be," Vanessa said as she grabbed his milkshake when it was handed to Ashley.
"Heyyyyy! That's mine!" he whined as they drove off, heading back to Vanessa's house. She giggled and gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"Finnnneeeee. You better be glad I love you, woman," he said as he began eating his fries.
Ten minutes later and Stella parked Zac's car in Vanessa's garage while Ashley parked in the driveway. Zac got out of the car and grabbed his bag of food with one hand and opened Vanessa's door. She grabbed her heels before taking his hand and getting out. She looped her arm through his, holding onto his bicep tightly as they began to walk up the steps leading to her front door.
"Fuck these steps, Nessa," he said as she nearly tripped up one, giggling. Stella walked out of the garage, holding onto Dylan. Bubba followed behind them, laughing at Dylan trying to flirt with Stella.
"Dylan, no. I will not hook up with you just because you are drunk," Stella said, laughing at his drunken state. Ashley busted out laughing as Vanessa struggled to unlock her front door. Zac took her keys from her and got down to eye level with the lock, finally opening the door.
"YES!" he cheered loudly. They all walked inside and Ashley locked the door behind them.
"More steps?! What. The. Hell." Zac said as he starred at her stairs with a scared look on his face. Vanessa laughed, jumping on his back. They all made their way to the second floor. They all went their separate ways except for Zac and Vanessa who made their way to the master bedroom.
Zac took of his jeans and shirt before laying down on the bed. Vanessa jumped around in circles as she struggled to get her skinny jeans off. She gave up and took off her shirt before falling backwards on the bed. "Screw it. I can't get them off!"
He laughed at her and rolled over, facing her. He sat up and grabbed the waistband of her jeans, pulling them down. She giggled loudly as he threw them across the room. He moved back up beside her and slid under the covers. She kissed him softly before turning around and placing her back towards him. "Hey woman, no teasing!" he said as he unsnapped her bra before she knew what was going on. She rolled over onto her back with a smirk on her face. He grabbed the straps and gently brought them down her arms before removing the bra and slinging across the room. "Now, we're even," he winked as he pulled her close, their bare chests resting against each other. She giggled softly and kissed him once more before snuggling up to him as they both fell into a deep slumber.
