Gabriella opened her garage and parked her Audi in it. She then grabbed her purse, closed the car door and walked into her house. Gabriella owned a two-story house in New York. It had a two-car garage and was perfect for just herself. It had 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with a laundry room and everything.

Gabriella then walked through the front door and dropped her keys on the side table next to the front door. She then walked to her kitchen and put her purse on the granite counters. She then opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of vitamin water. She then took a sip and looked at the clock. She spit out the drink when she realized it was already 6. Troy would be coming in one hour. She dashed out of the kitchen and ran upstairs to her master bedroom. She grabbed a towel and hopped in the shower.

After Gabriella took a shower she did her make-up and hair. It was then 6:50 when she walked towards her closet to get her Zac Posen dress and her black heels. She then slipped them on, grabbed a coral clutch and walked downstairs. She quickly looked at herself in the hall mirror and fluffed her hair. She then heard her doorbell ring and went to answer it.

"Hey, right on time," Gabriella greeted as she looked at Troy. He was in a black suit with a black tie and black dress shoes. Gabriella thought he looked very sexy but snapped out of the thought because he was her boss.

"This is for you," Troy replied as she handed her a dozen of lilies, wrapped in a pretty pink bow and clear paper.

"Thank you," Gabriella replied as she held the flowers and smelt them. "How did you know I liked lilies?" Gabriella asked as she looked at Troy.

"I have my ways," Troy added as he smirked. "Can I come in?" He asked.

"Oh, how stupid of me, of course you can," Gabriella replied as she opened the door wider for Troy.

"Thanks," Troy added as he stepped in and closed the door behind him.

"I will just put these in water and then we will head off," Gabriella announced as she and Troy walked to the kitchen.

"Okay," Troy added as he entered the kitchen and Gabriella put the flowers in the vase.

"There, let's go," Gabriella announced as she put the flowers in a vase with water. Troy then walked out to his car with Gabriella and they drove to the staff party held at a nightclub.

When they got there Troy ran to the other side and opened the door for Gabriella.

"Thanks," Gabriella commented as she exited the car.

"No problem. Now let's head in, like a couple," Troy added as he grabbed Gabriella's hand and they walked inside.

"Troy!" Stacy, who works at the front desk, called.

"Hey Stacy," Troy greeted as him and Gabriella approached her.

"Hey! Gabriella I love your dress," Stacy commented with a smile.

"Oh, thank you! I love yours too," Gabriella commented back.

"Thanks! Go get a drink and have some fun!" Stacy ordered as she pushed Troy and Gabriella towards the bar.

"Okay," Gabriella commented as she walked to the bar with Troy.

"I'll have an apple martini please," Gabriella ordered as she approached the bar.

"I'll have a bud light beer," Troy ordered also as the worker began to make both of Troy and Gabriella's drinks.

"Thanks," Troy and Gabriella replied at the same time as the bartender handed them their drinks. Troy then handed him a $20 bill.

"Oh no I could've-," Gabriella started but was then interrupted by Troy.

"No, I am going to pay for you tonight," Troy stated as he placed a finger on Gabriella's lips.

"Fine," Gabriella accepted as she took a drink of her apple martini.

"Hey Gabriella! Want to dance?" Chase, a guy who works with Gabriella, asked.

"Oh, um is that okay with you?" Gabriella asked Troy who just nodded his head unsure. "Uh, yeah. Have fun," Troy commented as he kissed Gabriella's cheek and she then walked to the dance floor with chase.

"Troy studied them very closely. Chase was dancing fairly close to Gabriella, which made Troy VERY jealous. Gabriella then started to grind him, which made Troy angry but he just sat there and stared at them. Gabriella then grabbed Chase's hands and moved them to her waist. She then started to sway her hips side to side. Troy couldn't take it anymore; he walked over to them and stood in the middle of them. He then wrapped his arm around Gabriella's waist and pulled Chase's hand off of Gabriella's body.

"Well, that was fun, wasn't it? I think I am going to take Gabriella now," Troy commented as he walked away from Chase with Gabriella.

"Someone was jealous," Gabriella teased as she walked to a booth table with Troy.

"I was not jealous. Do you not remember that we're supposed to be a couple?" Troy scoffed as he looked at Gabriella.

"Sorry, I was just having fun," Gabriella scoffed back as she got up from the booth.

"Hey, I'm sorry okay. I just, I, I don't know. When I saw you dancing with him I just got so angry and-," Troy started but then got cut off.

"That is called jealously. If it makes you happy I won't dance with anymore guys tonight, okay?" Gabriella explained as she grabbed both of Troy's hands and intertwined her fingers through his.

"Thank you," Troy commented as he kissed her forehead.

"What was that for?" Gabriella asked as she looked into his eyes.

"What?" Troy asked, acting as if he didn't do anything.

"That kiss on my forehead," Gabriella explained as she leaned in.

"That was for-," Troy started but then stopped as he leaned in also and closed his eyes. Gabriella was just about to kiss him until she realized what she was doing.

"Do you want to dance?" Gabriella asked as she pulled away.

"Um okay?" Troy replied, confused.

"Okay, let's go," Gabriella added as she pulled him to the dance floor. Troy and Gabriella started to dance just a few inches from each other. Nothing that intense, until a fast song started to play. Gabriella started to grind Troy harder compared to Chase. Troy started to groan the harder she grinded. Gabriella then stopped, which disappointed Troy.

"What are you doing?" Troy asked as he looked at her.

"This," Gabriella answered as she grabbed Troy's hands and placed them on her hips. Gabriella then started to sway them side-to-side.

"Oh come on! You did that with Chase. He isn't even your boyfriend," Troy complained as he took his hands off of Gabriella's body and looked at her.

"Fine! Do whatever you want with me then. Unfortunately, I am not doing my job right," Gabriella scoffed as Troy took her hands.

"I am just telling you to be more girlfriendish around me," Troy explained as Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"Fine grab my ass," Gabriella ordered.

"Really?" Troy perked up and Gabriella nodded. Troy then grabbed her ass and started to dance once again

"Are you happy?" Gabriella asked sarcastically.

"Very," Troy answered. He then pulled her closer to him and let go of her ass.

"Done so soon?" Gabriella commented sarcastically as she looked at him.

"It doesn't feel right," Troy commented as he looked at Gabriella.

"Yes, because that is what every boyfriend says to his girlfriend," Gabriella complained as she looked away.

"No, I mean, uh, um," Troy, stammered as he grabbed Gabriella's hand and led her to the bar."I feel like I am just using you," Troy said as he sat on a barstool and ordered 2 shots for them.

"Yeah, I get it," Gabriella said as she took a shot as well as Troy. They then spent the next 20 minutes sitting and talking. Troy wasn't planning on getting drunk and neither was Gabriella.

"Hey Troy," Rachel greeted as she approached the bar in a little black dress.

"Hey," Troy said as he looked at her. Gabriella looked at her also, she didn't like what Rachel was about to do.

"So, do you want to dance or something?" Rachel flirted as she grabbed Troy's hand and looked deep into his eyes.

"Uh," Troy stammered as he tried to look away but then he saw that Rachel was caressing his thigh.

"Troy was going to dance with me. Isn't that right baby?" Gabriella asked as she took Troy's hand and brushed Rachel's hand off of Troy's body.

"Yes I was," Troy said as he stood up.

"Oh so now you're pretending to like her, very original. We all know you guys are faking it," Rachel scoffed as she looked at the two of them.

"Let's go babe," Troy said as he led Gabriella to the dance floor and a slow song started to play. Gabriella then wrapped her arms around Troy's neck as Troy wrapped his arms around her waist. Troy then brought her close to his body and they danced like that for about one minute. Gabriella leaned in and Troy did as well.

"If we kiss, that doesn't mean anything right? I mean this is fake," Gabriella whispered towards Troy as she stopped leaning in.

"Of course," Troy whispered back as he finally kissed Gabriella. Troy felt sparks between them and he knew he couldn't deny it. But he just decided to brush past that. Gabriella started to play with his hair as Troy deepened the kiss by pulling him and Gabriella closer together. Gabriella then pulled back.

"Okay," Gabriella commented as she looked the other way and let go of him.

"Uh, do you want to go home now?" Troy asked as he did the same.

"Yeah, sure," Gabriella said as they walked out and Troy drove to Gabriella's house.

"Thanks for the incredible night," Gabriella said sarcastically.

"What's with the sarcasm?" Troy asked offended.

"Well, this was a fake date right? I am just trying to act like someone who just went on a date," Gabriella explained.

"Oh, well then your welcome I hope to do it again," Troy played back as he grabbed Gabriella's hand and brushed some hair out of her face.

"Good night," Gabriella cooed as she leaned in.

"Night," Troy cooed and leaned in as well. They then shared a second kiss.

"That was a nice pretend kiss," Gabriella said as she pulled away.

"Yeah, pretend," Troy said as he walked to his car.

"Yep, just pretend," Gabriella whispered to herself as she walked into her house and closed the door.
