Part One:

The media have, indeed, provided the Devil with perhaps the greatest opportunity accorded him since Adam and Eve were turned out of the Garden of Eden.

-Muggeridge, Malcolm

Vanessa's phone vibrated on the wood as she was finishing drying her hair and she hoped that it wasn't Brittany cancelling on her as she somehow felt she needed to keep busy tonight. Ideally she knew that she should be getting an early night in preparation for tomorrow but she felt restless and so had quickly agreed to attend the nightclub opening and would just have to pay for the consequences later.

Reaching for her phone she couldn't help but grin as awaiting her was a text message from Zac.

What you up to tonight? It read as she took a few moments of composure before replying.

Going out with Brit. You?xx If you were a loved one of Vanessa's then you could always tell what sort of mood she was in by her texting. If she was ever mad at you for some reason then you wouldn't get any kisses at the end of the text. It was in fact an actual handy tell tale sign for a sometimes clueless boyfriend/friend or even father and therefore they could begin the making up process even earlier.

Any guys going? Vanessa just knew that Zac's brow would be furrowed as he tried to sound as nonchalant as he could when in reality any way he asked it, would still sound jealous. She actually always loved when Zac ever showed any signs of possessiveness towards her and although it sometimes proved hard when he showed that possessiveness around her new male cast mates it still made her feel loved and desired.

None going with us but its at a club so I'm guessing there will be some there :p xx

Hope you have fun. His reply took a while in coming and Vanessa didn't want the conversation to end so quickly and she really didn't want it to end with the mention of other guys so instead of leaving it there she sent him another message.

Thanks but you didn't tell me what your up to? xx Picking up her nail varnish she began to paint her first coat of silver metallic to match her new dark silver dress she'd picked out for the occasion.

Oh, nothing...

...actually I was hoping to see you before you left.

I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. Just have a good time with Brit x

Vanessa furiously blew on her nails a couple of times before snatching up her phone and not caring if she smudged them as she realised after 3 beeps that he probably thought she wasn't replying to him anymore and began to backtrack on his words in case he'd upset or offended her.

No, no I was painting my nails. Come over I'm not leaving yet xx A warm glow spread over her after reading that he wanted to spend time with her again and there was no way she was going to deny him what he wished.

You sure?

Yessss xx She knew that his lack of reply meant he was coming over and all of a sudden she felt the usual butterflies she always got when she knew she'd be seeing him but this time they were multiplied. She felt like a teenage girl again with a crush on a hot boy and so she started with her usual make-up regime to help calm her down a bit.

zzvvzzvvzz

Twenty minutes later and the knock on her front door hurried Vanessa to finish her final mascara application and rush down the stairs to answer it, trying not to trip on the way as her long pants brushed the floor.

"You didn't use the garage?" she asked as she opened the door, knowing that just a couple of days ago he'd pulled his car into her garage and let himself in the house using the side door and his own set of keys that he still owned.

"Hey," he spoke, his eyes sparkling at the sight of her before him. Her bare feet were poking out of her black comfy slacks that hugged her curves tightly and her upper half was covered by a white tank top that showed a smooth expanse of her stomach as it had ridden up in her rush. In contrast to that her hair was shiny and hung in perfect curls around her shoulders and her Smokey make-up looked stunning and flawless as it accentuated her gorgeous big brown eyes. Zac opened his arms to her and she hurried into them, burying her face in his chest before finally mumbling a 'hey' back. He tightened his arms around her petite frame and brushed his lips against her hairline.

"And in answer to your question, your garage door stuck after opening about an inch," he explained, a whine almost coming out of his mouth as she disentangled herself from him.

"Oh it jammed a bit this morning too," she said. "I suppose I'll have to get someone out to fix it." She instantly missed the warmth and strength that being in his arms always provided her and she had to stop herself from running back into them again. "I'll get us some drinks, Shadow's in the den if you wanna go say hi."

It didn't take long for Vanessa to pour some root beer out the fridge and head over to the den to see that Zac was sitting comfortably on the couch with Shadow curled up on his lap contentedly as he was watching a re-run of American Idol. He softly stroked Shadow's ears as Vanessa stopped and watched them both for a minute before sitting down next to him and handing him a glass.

Zac took a small grateful sip of the cool drink before resting it on the coffee table and wrapping his arm around Vanessa's shoulders to pull her closer into him. She sighed out in contentment and let her body relax against him, resting her head on his shoulder. Nobody broke the peaceful silence as Zac leisurely stroked his hand continually through her curls and over her shoulder, the feel of his fingers setting her skin alight.

"What are we doing Zac?" she finally asked, her voice just a mere whisper.

"Watching American Idol," he answered, his hand stilling in her hair as he understood the deeper meaning to her question. It was the same thought that had been running through both their minds for weeks now but neither one had wanted to say it aloud and break the little pattern they had started to get themselves into.

"I know full well you've paid no attention to the TV Zac otherwise I would have heard you agreeing with Simon Cowell at least 5 times by now," she giggled, pulling away from his embrace slightly so she could look him in the eyes but making Shadow stir and jump down from his lap. "I mean you and me...us. We agreed in Hawaii that we'd have some space, re-arrange our priorities and so far we aren't doing a very good job of it." Zac remained silent even after Vanessa had finished talking and instead reached out for her hand and laced their fingers together. He missed playing idly with her Kuppio ring which was usually housed on her ring finger on her right hand. Instead his finger just ghosted over the place where it should have been and Vanessa closed her eyes as she fought back tears. It wasn't because their Hawaiian promise didn't exist anymore, it was more the fact that they had to do something that would help them remember their 'break'.

Vanessa could pinpoint exactly when it hit her that things had to change in their 5 year relationship. The love was still there, in fact stronger than ever but something just had to give. The 27th November 2010 at 9am she received a text message off Ashley to ask if they could spend some quality time together before Christmas as she'd finally be back in LA taking a break from filming Hellcats. Vanessa had had to tell her that she'd try but as soon as her filming in Hawaii was to end she would be flying straight to New Orleans to stay with Zac until the 22nd December. So it was unlikely but she'd try and catch up with her as soon as she could. She'd felt bad because it had been a long long time since she'd been able to spend some time with one of her best friends.

At quarter past ten Zac received a call to say film schedules had been changed and he no longer was able to take time off to fly back to LA to be there for Vanessa's birthday party. The last minute cancellation hit them both hard as letting each other down was not something they liked doing. But both of them realised within the coming year it might happen more frequently and if truth be told Vanessa didn't like the fact she couldn't spend her birthday with her boyfriend. She hadn't been able to be there to help him celebrate his either and it had been the first year in their relationship history where both would celebrate without the other.

She'd forgot to tell Stella that she'd be going to New Orleans and so when her sister had called at half eleven to tell her she'd organised days of family Christmas shopping and girly days out that she'd had to say no and end the call in guilty tears. She hadn't spent time with her family in a while and she knew that Stella was still upset with the fact that Zac hadn't been able to come to her birthday party due to the fact he'd took his last spare time off to go to Vegas with Vanessa.

The final straw and the pinpointed moment was 1pm, she'd been sitting on the hotel balcony when Zac came out after finishing a skype call with Gina his publicist. He now had back to back filming until 2013. Which meant he'd be busy all throughout her promotion for her two movies and they would both be in separate states at the same time making it so much harder to meet up.

The discussions, arguments, kisses, cuddles, tears and tantrums that followed that day was emotionally hard on the young couple and in the end they had come to a somewhat rather shaky agreement.

It was unfair on themselves and their friends and family that they hardly get to see them due to the fact that whenever they got a spare day or two off that they spent it together just the two of them. It was also becoming harder and taking a toll on their focus on shooting movies when they kept flying across America to meet up. The jet lag mixed with the emotion of leaving each other behind was becoming more obvious the more they had to do it and Directors and Cast mates had picked up on those facts. So it was with heavy hearts that they realised that 2011 was going to be a hectic year for them individually and so they would have to put their careers first for a while. They knew that once things died down they would be able to pick up where they had left off more wiser and more welcoming of a grown up relationship so it could take centre stage and stay that way. In the meantime they would use their spare time to see family and friends and have fun in a 'single' sense. Both made it clear that they loved each other and would remain faithful but from being early teens they had become each others worlds and didn't know anything differently and so it was a chance to gain some independence while having the knowledge that they were young enough to have some time apart and then still spend forever together.

Zac brushed his fingers down Vanessa's cheek until she opened her eyes before he spoke. "I agreed to space yes but not when your only 7 minutes away from me," he husked, his voice raw with emotion.

"Third visit this week," she reminded him. "And one of those contained a marathon sex session," she whispered, her cheeks tingeing pink in remembrance and she shivered slightly as Zac's eyes darkened a shade.

"Van, we never agreed that this would be easy and we never had set rules how we'd do this, apart from the rule that no other guy would lay a finger on you and no other guy would make you blush like that," he said, his possessiveness spilling out for a second time that night. It was something he never wanted to imagine and something he hoped would never ever happen. He selfishly wanted to be Vanessa's one and only lover and he would do his damn hardest to keep it that way. "But I do know that I just can't stay away from you when your within touching distance and I can't turn off my urges, that just thinking about you does to me. Was it a mistake for you? Would you prefer we keep sex out of the equation?" he asked, scanning her face for any signs that she regretted the afternoon of bliss they had spent in bed together.

"Zac making love to you has never been a mistake ok? I promise you that and trust me I wanted it to happen as much as you did."

"But you don't want it to happen again?" he guessed.

"Yes…No…I don't know," she hesitated, shifting closer to him so she was virtually sitting in his lap. "Hold on, I'll try and explain," she said and Zac nodded his head, his hands now resting in her lap with hers as he waited for her to collect her thoughts and continue. "Yes I want it to happen again, all the time in fact. My passion just like my love for you hasn't faded Zac. God I have to stop myself from jumping on you every time I see you but…" Zac's smirk faded as he waited for the downside of her admission and Vanessa gently reached out and placed a quick kiss on his lips. "But I don't want us to meet up just because we need sex. I want us to meet up because we miss each other but…" she stopped as her lips began to tremble.

"Baby it's ok just say what's on your mind," he encouraged, his tone bolstering her confidence slightly.

"But what happens if we don't have sex? Would you…would you go else where?" Tears finally escaped her eyes and slid down her cheeks and Zac immediately pulled her those last couple of inches into his lap as he wrapped one arm around her waist and with his other arm wiped her tears away with the pad of his thumb. He tilted her head with his fingers so she would look him in the eyes which she kept trying to avoid.

"Van look at me please," he ordered gently, keeping his fingers under her chin until she tentatively focused on him. "Firstly I miss you like crazy all the time and you know its never just about sex, but when it is it's about connecting with you in a deeper level, it's one way of showing our love and no way is it the reason I keep coming to see you. And secondly don't ever doubt our trust baby. I love you, I adore you and just because we're not putting 100% into our relationship right now doesn't mean that I'm going to look at another girl, date another girl and I'm most definitely not going to sleep with anyone else. You have my word on that one." He nuzzled his nose against hers and waited until she smiled slightly.

"No matter how horny you get?" she checked, her lips pouting as she asked and they nearly enticed Zac to kiss her perfect cupid's bow.

"No matter how horny I get I would never ever cheat on you. Your still my girlfriend and the hottest girl on the planet and I don't care how long we go without sex-it's only ever going to be you."

"I love you," she grinned, placing her hands around his neck so she could rest her head against his. It was just the simplest of touches and one that she had really appreciated this past week along with every single text or phone call they'd shared since Zac's trip to Hawaii. They somehow seemed more special as they made the time to talk during their extremely busy days, something they had started to neglect after Zac finished his Charlie St cloud promotions. The saying you don't know what you've got till its gone had rang through her mind so much and now the effort they were putting into their friendship was going to make their relationship go to a new strength whenever that time came.

"I love you," he whispered back, breathing in the sweet smell of her perfume and tightening his arms around her even more. He loved the feel of her weight in his lap and as she shifted around to get comfortable he had to try and control the natural urges his body was starting to feel. Vanessa heard him swallow loudly and mutter faintly and she grinned as she moved around even more.

"You doing ok?" she asked mischievously and he just buried his head in her neck in reply making her run her fingers through his hair soothingly in truce. Well as much as she could run her fingers through his new short haircut. She liked it, it suited him and she certainly wasn't complaining about the extra muscles he'd gained for shooting his latest movie but she felt like he was growing up and she didn't want him growing up without her. "I would give it all up you know," she spoke in honesty, causing Zac to furrow out of his hiding place. The look of puzzlement on his face made her realise that he had no clue what she was talking about and needed to be filled in on what was going through her head. "My career, to be with you. I mean there's lots of people out there who think I won't have a career without you anyway," she carried on, making him frown in annoyance at how some people talked about the love of his life. He silenced her with his index finger placed on her lips and once he removed it placed a light kiss there instead.

"You Vanessa Anne Hudgens are beyond amazing, beyond talented and there is no way I would deny the world their right in seeing you at what you do best. I'm honoured you would give it up for me and believe me I would so give it up for you but -"

"I wouldn't let you either," she finished for him and he nodded his head in agreement. "I just hate that the press think we've split up and now I'm ready for the scrapheap and your dating every girl in sight and going from strength to strength."

"You just have to ignore them baby and prove them wrong. I know how amazing you are and so will they. These next two movies your gonna kick ass with and I'm going to be by your side when you do. I know you get a hard time out there and I'm sorry for that but to be honest I think their just jealous. Jealous because your so beautiful, jealous because your so talented and jealous because they want to be like you." He punctuated each jealous with a kiss to her lips and once he'd finished Vanessa crashed her lips onto his as she tried to express her gratitude to him without words. Effortlessly their mouths moved together and Zac tenderly sucked in her bottom lip as she moved her hands back through his hair as she struggled not to get too carried away by his touch and caresses.

"Are we ever going to tell the press anything?" she asked him once she'd pulled away. Zac's lips were still pursed and she just had to sip a few more kisses from him before she let him answer her question.

"We can barely explain it to our family and as you said before we're still getting used to things ourselves so I wouldn't even know what to say to them even if they asked," he spoke, watching as she climbed off his lap to open the door for Shadow before sitting back down on the couch, her legs tucked underneath her. "I mean if they ask are we still dating then the answer would be yes. If they ask are we still boyfriend and girlfriend then the answer would be yes. If they ask are we in love then again its yes so there is nothing new to tell them in a sense."

"True," she agreed. "But can we try and be discreet when we meet up? I just don't want to have to worry about paps when all I want to be thinking about is making the most of being with you," she asked, twiddling her hair around her fingers and Zac smiled at how cute and innocent she looked at that moment.

"That means we get to be ninja's so that works for me," he laughed, taking the moment to lunge at her and grip her in a bear hug while she squealed in surprise and giggled along with him. "But that does mean I miss you being with me at awards and stuff," he admitted, sighing out against her hair at his confession and making her grip his shoulders to keep him tight against herself.

"And I will be there at times Zac but I wanted the People's choice awards to be about you and only you. You made me so proud winning that award Zac and I wanted you to have your moment all to yourself."

"I know you did," he said, cupping her face with his hands and brushing his lips against hers. "That's because your such a selfless person Van but just so you know I do prefer you there to hold my hand when I get nervous," he grinned, nipping her bottom lip with his teeth. His breath that ghosted over her face made her shiver inside and her hands slid down his chest slightly.

"This is going to be one difficult year isn't it?" she whined, knowing that by this time tomorrow she would be in North Carolina for another month of filming followed by promotions for two movies, so goodness knows when they would get to meet up next.

"Yeah it's going to be one heck of an ordeal, but we'll get through it baby, we will," he affirmed. "Let's just make the most of every single second we get to spend together this year huh?" Vanessa nodded her head, a few tears glistening her eyes but a smile on her face. "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied capturing his lips in a heated kiss, soon deepening it by running her tongue against his upper lip as he moved his against hers eagerly. The buzzing of her phone broke the moment and Zac moaned as she broke away from him regrettably, her lips tingling from his onslaught. "It's Brittany, she's on her way to collect me," she informed him, clutching her cell in her hand tightly in annoyance. "Darn I forgot I was going out there," she admitted, looking at him in request for forgiveness.

"It's ok baby, we agreed you should go out and have fun with your friends, so go on, go and get ready and enjoy your night with Brit," he told her, kissing her forehead lovingly as he brushed her hair back off her face.

"Are you sure? I can cancel?" she checked with him, knowing that he would insist she kept to her arranged plans which he did with a mock no-nonsense voice and another kiss to her forehead. "Okay, okay but will you wait here till I get ready?" she asked with her puppy dog eyes, making Zac melt inside.

"Yes ma'am," he saluted, throwing his legs on the couch and relaxing back and jokingly focusing on American Idol again. Turning back around to watch Vanessa throw him a kiss and a wiggle of her ass as she headed out the door, he shook his head wondering how he would ever manage without her for more than a few weeks at a time. That beautiful, sexy and talented woman would literally be the death of him, a one that would obviously take him to heaven on the way!

A/N- Part two coming soon!
