A/N: I'm so sorry that it's taken a while for me to write and get this chapter out. These past few months have been busy and crazy months for me, I barely have any time for myself. I hope you all understand and enjoy this chapter. Oh and this chapter is Rated R because of sexual content ;) Much love xo

''Stop that!'' I begged, using my hands as a shield, Troy repeatedly splashing me with water.

''Not a chance, baby girl.'' Troy chuckled as he continued.

Troy and Gabriella were swimming in the lake nearby.

''I'm so close to slapping the shit out of you,'' I hissed, jokingly.

''That, shawty, would be a massive accomplishment for you,'' Troy replied with a chuckle as he shoke his hands through his soaked hair, grinning sheepishly at Gabriella.

''Fine! I warned you!'' I smirked, throwing what seemed like a bucket of water over in Troy's direction.

Troy swiped his hands over his face, recovering from what just happened. ''Impressive,'' Troy laughed as he quickly pulled out a water gun and fired it straight at Gabriella, spraying her.

''Hey! that's cheating!'' I yelled, in a 'i-hate-you' tone.

''Sue me,'' he smirked.

''Go throw yourself in a pool of acid,'' I frowned.

''I'd rather not, thanks.'' he chuckled as he made his way over to Gabriella, lifting up her chin and laying a gentle kiss on her lips.

I looked up at Troy as a small smile crept upon my face.

''Come on, let's get back inside, it's freezing,'' Troy suggested, shivering as he reached out and entwined their fingers.

''Gotta catch me first,'' Gabriella yelled as she began to swim to land.

Troy groaned, chuckling to himself. He watched the perfect angel in front of him, and found himself unable to tear his eyes away.

"C'mon slow poke! I'm getting away!" Gabriella yelled, continuing to run after glancing back at Troy.

Troy chuckled and began to chase after Gabriella. He eventually caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, ''Got'cha,'' he whispered in her ear, smirking to himself.

''Mr Bolton, I'm impressed,'' Gabriella giggled.

Gabriella turned around, standing face to face with him.

Troy gently brushed a piece of hair from out of Gabriella's face, to behind her ear, letting his hand trail down her arm and entwining their fingers when they touched. Gabriella felt herself falling, she felt herself falling hopelessly in love with this boy stood in front of her. The thought of losing him ripped her heart into tiny little pieces and frankly, scared the life out of her.

''I would like to take you out tonight, Miss Montez.''

I giggled, ''Sounds good to me, Bolton.'' I winked.

Troy opened the cabin door and let Gabriella step in, holding the door open for his girlfriend, being the gentleman he is. Both walked into the kitchen, Gabriella began to raid the fridge as Troy sat down at the counter. Gabriella's face lit up as she lay her eyes on several tubs of ice cream and squealed, grabbing the tubs and putting them down on the counter. She grabbed two spoons and quickly began to dig into the chocolate goodness.

Troy chuckled. He grabbed a carton of mint-chip ice cream and opened the tub, then dug a spoon into it. He seemed to swish it in his mouth for a while before he said, "Not bad."

I 'mmmm'ed in curiosity and scooped a large, heaping bite into my mouth. I grabbed a cup and quickly spat it back out. ''It tastes like plastic!'' I exclaimed, in disgust. I sat down next to him.

Troy laughed. ''Then stick to that brown crap,''

I turned back to my ice cream, dipping a finger into the mush and tasting it's heavenly goodness.

Troy made a grab for my carton of chocolate ice cream. I spun on the barstool, tugging the container out of his reach. "Uh, uh. You've got you delicious, carton-y flavored ice-cream. I'm just going to sit here and eat my fudge."

''What happened to sharing is caring?'' Troy frowned.

I playfully rolled my eyes, sighing. ''Fine,'' I held out the carton as he scooped a large bite, shoving it into his mouth.

The two sat there in silence for several minutes, as they finished their cartons of ice cream.

''Oh man, that shit was good,'' Troy said, breaking the silence.

I nodded in agreement. ''I'm gonna go take a quick shower, babe. What time are we leaving?''

''5pm.'' Troy checked his watch, ''You've got quite a bit of time babe, it's only 3pm.''

''Oh, goodie!'' I smiled, giving Troy a quick peck on the lips. ''See you in a bit mister.'' I grabbed a towel and headed into the bathroom.

Troy made his way into the living room and threw himself onto the fluffy sofa. He checked his phone.. 30 missed calls. Worry and wonder ran through his mind as he quickly returned the calls that all happened to be from the same number. He sat there for what felt like hours until someone finally answered. He was less than surprised at who was at the other end but still sighed in relief.

''Troooyie! I've been trying to get a hold of you all day, you had me worried sick baby,'' Sharpay claimed.

''What do you want, Sharpay?'' Troy asked, annoyed.

''I was hoping that I could see you,'' Sharpay replied, in a 'girly-innocent' tone.

''That's not possible, Sharpay. I'm sorry,''

''Why not?'' Sharpay moaned.

''I'm not in town at the moment,'' Troy said quietly, as he went to shut the door.

''When will you be back? I need to see you, Troy.'' Sharpay demanded.

''Monday. I'll be back on Monday,''

''Can we meet up?'' Sharpay asked.

''Yeah, we can. What's this about?''

''I'll tell you everything on Monday.'' Sharpay was almost crying. ''I just need to see you,''

''Shar, are you crying?'' Troy asked, in shock.

''No,'' Sharpay laughed slightly. ''I'm fine, honestly.'' She lied.

''Listen, meet me at the Santa Monica peer at noon on Monday okay?''

''Great,'' Sharpay smirked. ''I'll see you then boo,''

''Yeah, bye.'' Troy hung up.

''Who was that?'' Gabriella asked as she entered the living room, wearing just her towel.

Troy looked up at her. ''Oh, no one. Just some woman asking to donate,''

Gabriella 'mmmm'ed, sitting on Troy's lap.

''You okay babe?'' Troy wrapped his arms around Gabriella.

''Me? I'm great,'' I smiled, ''What about you? Are you okay?''

''Couldn't be better,'' Troy gently stroked her cheek.

Gabriella smiled as she leaned in to kiss Troy. He placed his hand on the back of her neck, pulling her closer for another kiss. Gabriella pushed Troy down and stood up. She dropped her towel, bringing a smirk upon his face and straddled him. Troy placed his hands on Gabriella's bum as she leaned in, sliding her tongue into his mouth. Gabriella helped Troy remove his shirt, watching as he unzipped his pants. His lips on my neck, his hands on my thighs, his warm body against mine. I was crazy for him. Gabriella ran her hands through his hair as his hands explored her body. She tugged at his boxers, pulling them down. Troy grabbed her hands, pulling her closer and began to kiss her chest, his tongue joining in at frequent appearances. She tossed her head back and moaned audibly as he filled her completely. She moved up and down as she straddled him, picking up the pace. Troy caressed her breasts and brought her lips back down to his. She held onto his waist as she moved faster, Troy thrusting into her. She struggled to keep quiet as their tongues entwined. Gabriella moved back and forth on him, her back arched. She let out a moan. Troy groaned as he bit down on his bottom lip, closing his eyes. She giggled, returning to her feet and got down on all four's. Troy stood up and ran his hands slowly down her back, caressing it. He gently squeezed her bum, making Gabriella quietly giggle. He toke his time, placing his hands on her hips, entering her from behind. Gabriella digging her face into the rug, breathing heavily, moaning. Troy picked up his pace. She squirmed as she adjusted her hips and body to slide on him, lifting her arse up. She encouraged him to go faster and as he made her moan one final time, he collapsed beside her.

Gabriella was lying on Troy's chest, listening to his heartbeat. He had one arm wrapped around her and was tracing patterns onto the bare skin of her back with the forefinger on his other hand. She sighed.

''Well, that was..''

''Amazing,'' Gabriella interrupted.

''Actually, I was gonna say perfect, but hey, amazing works too,'' Troy chuckled.

I smiled. ''Troy Damon Bolton.. I love you, so damn much.''

''Gabriella Rose Montez, I love you more than anything.'' Troy said, whilst staring into Gabriella's eyes.

''I best go get dressed then,'' I giggled.

''Oh yeah, sorry,'' Troy removed his arms from her waist.

''It's fine,'' I smiled, standing up. ''I'll be two ticks,'' shooting off upstairs.

Gabriella raided her closet, searching for the cutest piece of clothing she had. She layed her eyes on a short red dress she surprisingly, never worn. She slid on the dress over her head and pulled it on, flattening the dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and as much as she wanted to cry and felt ugly, disgusting, vile.. She forced herself to smile, pushing the negative thoughts to the back of her mind. The dress was cute and fit her perfectly. She brushed a comb through her tasseled beach waves, clipping it to one side. She applied a touch of bronzer, mascara and finished the look off by adding a swipe of red lipstick to her lips. She pressed her lips together as she put on a pair of beige sandals. She checked herself out in the mirror and found herself smiling at the result. She grabbed her purse and jacket and headed out of the room.

''Ready!'' I said, sliding on my jacket.

Troy walked towards Gabriella to give her a kiss on the cheek. ''You look beautiful,'' He smiled.

''Aw you cutie,'' I giggled, blushing. ''You're not wearing that, are you?'' I examined Troy's outfit. He was wearing a Beatles t-shirt and casual jeans with trainers.

''What's wrong with it?'' Troy raised an eyebrow.

''Oh babe,'' I looked at him, ''Everything,''

''Girls,'' Troy rolled his eyes, ''Fine, I've got a collared shirt in my bag,''

I smiled as I watched him grab it out of his bag and throw it on. ''Much better,''

''Let's go, my lady.'' Troy opened the door and put out his hand.

I almost died at his cheesy little remarks. I toke his hand and stepped outside.

The pair began walking down the road. Sharing jokes, laughter and cute kisses in between They soon spotted a small hidden restaurant tucked away in a corner and entered the restaurant. It was practically empty, only a few people in there. There were red roses scattered all over the floor, a candle on each table and slow romantic music playing in the background. Gabriella gasped like a little kid in a candy store. She smiled as she walked around, pulling Troy with her, her eyes exaiming the place. A waiter soon led them to their table and they sat down, giving their orders. Troy chuckled as he watched Gabriella just stare in amazement. She snapped out of it as she heard Troy cough, pulling her attention away and back on to him.

''You like it?'' Troy smiled.

''I love it! how did you find this place?'' I asked, curious.

''A friend mentioned it to me,''

''I am in love,'' I laughed. ''Thank you, babe.''

''It's my pleasure,'' Troy toke her hand and gently kissed it.

''Stop that,''

''Stop what?''

''Stop being so perfect and so sweet and the best boyfriend ever.. I really do not deserve half of what you give me,'' I shoke my head as I looked down.

''Hey,'' Troy lifted Gabriella's chin up, ''Hey, where is this coming from?''

''No where,'' I looked at him. ''You're just the best thing that's ever happened to me,'' I smiled, hugging Troy.

''So glad you're mine,'' Troy mumbled into her ear.

Gabriella pulled away and leaned against Troy. He wrapped his arm around her as she placed her head on his shoulder, entwining their fingers.

''Gabs?''

''Yeah?'' I looked up.

''I got a surprise for you,'' Troy digged his hand into his blazer pocket and pulled out a small square box.

I tried to catch my breath. A bubble of love swelled in my stomach. ''Troy..''

Troy opened the box and there lay a silver diamond ring with the words, 'I love you, sweetheart' engraved into the metal.

Gabriella placed her hands over her mouth as she gasped, sitting there, speechless. Tears formed in her eyes as she tried to find the words to say. She shoke her head in disbelief, turning her eyes on to Troy. 'A promise ring?' She cried, laughing through her tears. ''Troy, are you sure?''

''Absolutely sure. A promise ring to show you that I'm here to stay, not going anywhere babe, I want you to be the only girl I love for the rest of my life.''

Gabriella giggled, wiping away her tears. ''You're crazy, wildcat,''

Troy toke Gabriella's hand, sliding the ring onto her finger.

I held out my hand and admired the ring, then looked up at Troy with a huge smile across my face. ''I love you, wildcat.''

''I love you, beautiful,'' Troy leaned in.

I wrapped my arms around Troy's neck, passionately kissing him.

''Let's get out of here,'' I toke Troy's hand and stood up. The pair left the resteraunt.

They stepped outside to find the rain come crashing down like a ton of bricks. A smile quickly spread across Gabriella's face. She couldn't resist running around in the rain, laughing while doing so. Troy chuckled as he watched the perfect angel dance around in the rain, giggling and smiling adoringly. The skies had turned a grey, musky and almost dull color. Gabriella grabbed Troy's hand, pulling him out into the rain with her. They soon found themselves in each others arms, kissing in the rain.

And that right there, was the most perfect, content moment of their existence.
