Months have passed ever since Sharpay started dating Zeke. Their relationship has been pretty great and happy, with barely any hardships. As Sharpay took a bite from her incredible breakfast sandwich, all while driving, Zeke had emailed her. She received a ding from the notification on her phone.

"Meet me at the stairwell when you get to school. I have a surprise for you!"

The lovely blonde instantly started to blush as she thought of what the surprise could be.

"Food…I hope it's food…"

She stopped thinking about it once she pulled up to the school and parked in her designated spot. Sharpay got out and grabbed her necessities before heading into the building and walking upstairs to her locker. Once she made it up there, she saw Zeke waiting for her.

"Good morning, Zeke."

"Good morning to you too, Sharpay."

"Did you bring me breakfast again?"

"Of course. It was the only thing available to cook since I haven't gone grocery shopping yet."

Zeke pulled out a container filled to the brim with Sharpay's favorite thing to eat for breakfast: french toast. She opened the container and got a whiff of the treats in front of her. Even after one bite, the savory goodness made Sharpay's insides melt.

"You made this?"

"I made that, along with everything else I've gifted you. You're welcome, Shar."

"Thank you, Zeke."

"No problem."

Sharpay walked away with the container of sweet treats still in her hands.

Later, once school was over, Sharpay found herself at her car with Zeke as she ate the snacks from earlier.

"We're going swimming at your place, right?"

"Yeah. My parents aren't there so we can do anything we want."

"Sounds nice. Also, I'm letting you drive. You have your license, right?"

"I've had it for a minute so I'm good."

After a drive in Sharpay's car, they were now at Zeke's, getting ready to go into the pool. Zeke was in his swim trunks and some slides as he was near the pool, waiting for his Sharpay. She was his girl at this point, right? Anyway, she eventually came out, in a white lace coverup with a light pink two-piece under it. It was so visible that Zeke got overwhelmed.

"Damn...she looks so good..."

Zeke almost melted when he saw Sharpay walk out in that two-piece suit. He even felt himself lose it as his "friend" down there enlarged a little bit. But right now wasn't the time for that kind of stuff. It was time for him to chill with his girlfriend and only that. Moving on, Sharpay got into the pool first, then Zeke followed after her. They were having a lot of fun with each other in the water. They stayed there until the sun left and it was time to go inside.

Once they were inside, Sharpay realized something. She couldn't drive herself home. Her health was - of course - fine, but her clothing situation wasn't. She was not about to put back on her clothes from earlier and drive herself home without a shower. And even if she did shower, she doesn't like putting dirty clothes on a clean body.

"Zeke, I'm gonna have to stay the night."

"...Really?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to put on my clothes from earlier. Plus I only want to stay the night."

"...Okay. You can stay."

— — — — — —

Sharpay was finally out of the shower. She was freed from the chlorine her skin was once stuck in, which relieved her. As she left the guest bathroom and walked into the bedroom, she had a guest who was already waiting for her.

"Zeke? What're you doing in here?"

"...Nothing. H-here's something you can sleep in. I'll wash your clothes from earlier if you want." Zeke handed Sharpay a big t-shirt.

"That'll be nice. Now can you leave so I can get dressed please?"

"Mhm."

Zeke simply complied with Sharpay's words and immediately left the room, leaving the blonde a little bit confused. Why was he waiting for her to come out? And why did he stutter when he gave her the clothes? Suspicious, but she brushed it away and simply got dressed. Sharpay remembered that she had an extra pair of panties in her purse. So she slipped the tee on and rushed downstairs, only to be greeted by Zeke once again.

"Can you hand me my purse?"

"Yeah."

Zeke grabbed the blonde's designer handbag and handed it to her.

"I'll be back Zeke."

Sharpay returned to the guest bedroom and quickly slipped her panties on, feeling a small gush of wind brush against her private area. As she made her way back downstairs, she walked past Zeke's bedroom, before making a double-take.

"That's his room?"

Being herself, Sharpay decided to go in and snoop around in Zeke's room. Already, when she comes in, something catches her eye. It's a picture of her and Zeke when they were freshmen, smiling at a camera that Ryan probably owned. There was a note under it that read, "We'll recreate this pic one day..."

"What're you doing in here Shar?"

Startled, Sharpay directed her attention from the picture to her boyfriend.

"...I-I was just looking around."

"Did you touch anything?"

"...No."

"Are you lying to me?"

"Of course not, Zeke. Would I lie to you?"

"I'm not sure if you wouldn't, Sharpay."

Zeke's harsh words made Sharpay feel some type of way, even though he didn't mean to make it sound like that.

"...Oh."

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No. I mean, you're right, but to a-"

Sharpay was cut off by someone's arms snaking around her, bringing her into a hug. Zeke didn't mean to make it seem like the blonde hadn't changed, so this was an attempt to apologize for his words.

"I'm sorry, Sharpay. I didn't mean to say that..."

They broke away from each other after a while, feeling a layer of awkwardness brush against them.

"...Sooo, what do we do now?"

"Whatever you want to do."

"Then we should stay up here and watch something."

"Okay. Fine by me."

Zeke ran downstairs and grabbed Sharpay's purse, along with his phone, before going back up to his room to see Sharpay making a makeshift bed on the floor.

"What're you doing now?"

"Making myself a bed, on the floor. I know you don't want to sleep with me just yet-"

"I do. Trust me, I do want to sleep with you."

"...Oh. Okay then."

Sharpay scrambled to put the pillows on the floor away, as Zeke giggled while he watched what was in front of him. After that, he pulled back his clean comforter and got in bed, making himself comfortable already.

"...Are you gonna stand there all night?"

Sharpay slipped into a trance, not realizing it until the guy in front of her pointed it out for her.

"...Oh. My bad..."

The blonde quickly got under the covers and into Zeke's muscular arms, feeling safe from knowing that she was being protected by them now and in her sleep.

"...Well, goodnight Shar-"

Zeke was cut off by Sharpay straddling him, already sitting on his waist. The sudden switch-up in the girl's attitude made Zeke get a little bit nervous.

"...Shar, what're you doing?"

"Something I've honestly wanted to do ever since we met each other."

While leaning over Zeke's chest, Sharpay laid her first peck on his sweet lips. She knew that it wouldn't be the last one, as Zeke pecked back before embracing her into their first kiss. Sharpay couldn't keep leaning over the one under her so she just made herself comfortable on his chest, lips still connected to his.
