After the Senior Party (Ryan and Sharpay-car)

[Ryan Evans]

When Ryan reached the car he walked to the passenger's side door opening it for Sharpay, waiting for her to step in before closing the door softly, shooting her a soft smile as he slowly walked around to the driver's side, swinging his keys slowly around his index finger. He inhaled slowly and puffed out his cheeks lightly, exhaling as he shook his head, just glad that they could soon get away from the party.

He pulled open his door and slid into the car, slowly starting the ignition, turning to Sharpay and giving her an incredulous face before laughing lightly and puting the car into drive. "Some party, huh?" He asked trying not to laugh as he pulled out of the parking space down the street from the Bolton's house.

[Sharpay Evans]

Once Ryan had closed his door, Sharpay let out a deep, relieved sigh. She was just so glad to finally get out of that party which did nothing but give her stress, and now she's even glad that she's finally alone with Ryan and safe from everyone's watchful eyes. She watched as Ryan started the car and pulled it out of the parking space, and when he asked her about the party, she couldn't help but let out a groan.

"I think I wouldn't go to a party ever again, at least not until prom." She responded, looking over at Ryan as she shook her head slightly, smirking. She propped her elbow by the window and started rubbing on her temple. She watched as they passed by houses and street lamps and trees, and suddenly she felt this sudden urge to go somewhere, somewhere besides their home. The night is still young, anyway. "Ry," she called him, turning to look over at him. "Can we go somewhere else? I don't feel like going home just yet." She asked Ryan, hoping he would agree to her request. She reached for his hand on the stick and placed her hand over his, rubbing her thumb gently on it.

[Ryan Evans]

When Ryan heard Sharpay say his name, looked over lightly to her, still keeping his eyes mainly on the rode as he turned down another street trying to get as far from Bolton's house as possible, just wanting to cancel out this party in his mind, she had a point when the next party would be Prom, and there was a large part of him that was looking forward to Prom solely because then, maybe just maybe, they wouldn't have to hide anymore and people would let them be, or at the very least they could get away and leave behind everyone who didn't agree with who his girlfriend was.

He nodded to her request lightly and smiled softly over at her, even though he was tired from the stress of the party, he'd wake up just to spend time with her. "I think I know just the place." He said softly, after thinking over all the nearby locales in Albuquerque where they could get away from prying eyes, his smile going lightly crooked as he felt her hand on his, it was just something he needed at that moment after all those moments at the party where he had to pretend it was all so different. He chuckled lightly and pulled a three-point turn in a nearby driveway and began to drive off regretfully back towards the way they had come before turning down a side street and continuing on to the familiar route that he'd taken so many times as a kid.

He slowed the car to a slight stop as he turned into one of the parking spaces, putting the car into gear before turning off the engine and squeezing her hand back with his full attention now. "Park okay with you?" He asked playfully, before leaning over and kissing her softly, one of the things he'd missed sorely bringing back all the things he'd been feeling prior to the party, just glad they were alone once again.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay smiled as soon as Ryan drove away from the driveway and back to the road, glad that he agreed. She just wanted to spend more time with him away from home, it just felt like the senior party had deprived them of any public display of affection and she just had to make it up to him, even if they still have to play it safe in a public setting. When the familiar place came into view, Sharpay's eyes lit up. It was like a trip down memory lane; they had spent so much of their childhood playing in this park together. She was thankful that the park looks deserted at this time, it was like their own special place tonight.

Once Ryan had parked the car properly and leaned over to her, she felt her heart skipped a beat, then she felt his lips on hers. She missed that feeling so much during the party, and it didn't help that other couples had been displaying their affections like nobody's watching. But now, they're finally alone and back to their normal selves, not acting anymore. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back just as softly before pulling away, nodding at Ryan. "I missed that." She said playfully, biting on her lip.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan smiled into their soft kiss, still beaming like a fool when Sharpay pulled away from him, his grin only growing when he saw how her face looked as she bit her lip, it was little subtleties like that, just the simple things that let him know she was the most beautiful girl that he'd ever seen and would ever see in his entire life.

He pressed his forehead to her's and laughed slightly, shaking his head slightly against her's. "That party was," He breathed out as he searched for the word to describe it, even if she already knew. "too intense maybe?" He asked raising his eyebrows playfully as he kissed her again softly, now feeling as if they were back to how things should be. They were the perfect couple, and yet they had to pretend as if they were nothing. Being at the party was just a reminder that, for at least the immeadiate future, he wouldn't be able to be even half as expressive with Sharpay in public.

He ran his hand lightly along Sharpay's face, brushing her forehead lightly, still smiling at her happily. "So, now that we're alone, and nowhere near the house," He added laughing. "What do you want to do with our stolen time?" He asked, a cocked crooked smile crossing his face.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay kissed Ryan back once again and nodded as soon as they pulled away. "I'd say," she said, shaking her head, smirking. "I'm just glad we're now away from it, and from them all." She looked into Ryan's eyes and smiled, rubbing her nose against his slightly. She let out a happy sigh when he ran his hand along her face, that kind of touch she missed so badly for hours, that was what she was longing for all the while they were at the stupid party.

Sharpay giggled when Ryan asked her what she wants do, to which she answered by slowly slid ing her hands from around his neck down to his shirt, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him closer to her. "Since we're at the park," she said softly, a smirk tugging on the corner of her lips, "I think we should play." And with that, she captured his lips in a passionate kiss. It was the perfect time to let her feelings out once again.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan closed his eyes and laughed as Sharpay rubbed her nose to his, relishing the fact that they could slip so perfectly back into the routines they were used to versus the roles the played in front of everyone else that they knew. He pressed his forehead to her's and laughed softly, closing his eyes for a minute, stifling back a yawn that he'd been surpressing since they left the party. He shook his head lightly to shakes of the feelings of exhaustion, knowing full well that Sharpay would be wide awake and he didn't want to disappoint her.

He opened his eyes again slowly at the sound of the giggle that emitted from Sharpay's mouth, mirroring the small smirk spreading across her face as he noticed the small glint in her eyes, the hint of mischief once again present that had been lacking the whole time they were at the part. As he hands grabbed his shirt collar he couldn't help but smirk more as his heart began to beat, leaning over more in his seat and wrapping his arms around her waist as he kissed her back with the same intensity, wanting to make up once again for all the time they had lost.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay wrapped her arms around his neck again as she kissed him back intensely, she just wanted to make it up to him for forcing him to go to the party with her when they could have just stayed at home and watch movies and just be with each other as boyfriend-girlfriend. It was her mistake and so she had to pay for it, with the Marco thing going on. She pushed that thought back from her head, she doesn't want anything to ruin their alone time right now. They have limited time, and she knew they had to make the best of it.

Sharpay leaned back even more, bringing Ryan with her, until her back was against the door. She could feel herself smiling into the kiss as she proceeded to mess with his hair again. She couldn't help but think of those movies they had watched together which had couples making out in the car, she never thought it would happen to her, and with Ryan. She chuckled lightly, breaking the kiss for a moment as she looked lovingly at him, smiling.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan let out a slight inaudible laugh into the kiss as Sharpay brought him down closer to her, thinking that this making out in the car thing seemed better in theory rather than practice, maybe it was something about movie magic that made it seem easier, but he wasn't going to complain. All he wanted to do at this moment was forget the party they had wasted all their time at, now he knew why he wasn't the party person, and his time time at Bolton's house only proved to him further why he'd much rather just stay home.

As Sharpay broke the kiss he couldn't help but grin like a fool when he saw the smile on her face, it was the subtle things like that that made him forget that he was in fact leaning on the gear shift and rather he would focus on the fact that he could now be alone with his girlfriend for the first time in what felt like forever. He leaned down slightly and started to kiss her again slowly making a silent note to himself to make a promise that they wouldn't go to anymore parties, ever.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay giggled once she noticed that Ryan was leaning on the gear shift. It sure did look uncomfortable for him, but at the same time, it seemed like he doesn't even care, as she watched him lean down again to capture her lips once more. She immediately kissed back, taking him by the collar and pulling her even closer to her if possible. And as if reading his mind, she inwardly agreed about the thing about not going to the parties, not anymore, and the hell with keeping their social status, she'd rather spend all her time with Ryan now.

With all the things happening at East High, specifically dealing with Marco Ventura, Sharpay couldn't help but feel like their every alone time is borrowed time, and that they'd have to be even more extra careful. She could feel that Marco is up to something, and wouldn't rest until he gets what he wants, which made her feel really worried. She suddenly broke the kiss again as she shuddered, the thought of Marco haunting her once again. She looked away from Ryan, not wanting to worry him, or kill the mood, although she could feel like she already did.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan smiled into the kiss again leaning closer to Sharpay as she grabbed his collar again, knowing full well that every moment now was not just on borrowed time, but clearly on stolen time, especially after all the insanity at the party that was left in the wake of Marco Ventura, and those were just his casual ventures. Ryan couldn't help but feel a slight preoccupation with what Marco would do with something he really wanted, he didn't want to see the type of determination that oaf had when it came to trying to steal and worry his girlfriend.

He tried to take his mind on it and just focus on this moment, but he couldn't help but suddenly feel like Marco was the one thing on his mind, but he didn't want to ruin the mood they had built up again. As the thoughts began to fill his head, he was slightly surprised when it was Sharpay broke the kiss first, her gaze averted from his.

He leaned forward even more awkwardly and placed his hand softly on her face and wobbled lightly as he chuckled trying to lighten the mood. "You ruined nothing," He supplied softly as he turned her face back to his leaning up to kiss her forehead softly. He went to lean in to kiss her softly again but was obstructed by his angle over the gear shift. "Jeeze," He chuckled out as he leaned back on his driver's side and rubbed his temples, wanting to be close to her again without the physical limitations of the car. He looked to the back seat and then chuckled as he repositioned himself and then flopped into the roomier back seat and then leaned foreward to grab Sharpay's hands and pull her in the back with him. "We might have more breathing room back here." He said, hoping he could comfort her better with the slight added space.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay smiled softly as Ryan comforted her by placing a kiss on her forehead, and once she looked into his eyes, she had forgotten all about her worries about Marco. Right now, she knows she just have to enjoy her time with Ryan, knowing that they wouldn't have a lot of time together like this in the future. She giggled as she watched him lean in to kiss her again, but was unable to due to his awkward position, then as he transferred to the backseat and took her hand, she let him pull her in, giggling as she moved to his side.

Once she was comfortably seated beside him in the backseat, Sharpay looked up at Ryan and smiled once again at him. "Sorry about that, I was just being paranoid again. I swear, Ry, we won't have to go to any house parties ever again. I should have listened to you." She chuckled, shaking her head then shifted on her seat, gently placing her legs on his lap. "Now, where were we again before I interrupted?" She asked him playfully, her head tilted to the side and her lips pouting a little as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan chuckled lightly and nodded in agreement. "No more parties, we'll just be hermits," He said jokingly. "And it's not paranoia when Marco Ventura is involved," He muttered lightly, trying not to grit his teeth in just the thought of all the ways Marco had gotten under his skin even just in the past week. "I think we might have to keep an eye on him, but not right now." He said laughing again slightly, trying not to have Sharpay worry, he just wanted to spend his time with his girlfriend and forget about everything else.

"In fact," He started again with a light smirk. "I'd rather just keep my eyes on you, you're much better looking in my general opinion." He added as her arms wrapped around his neck, another smile crossing along his face, knowing full well that only Sharpay could make him feel like such a lovestruck idiot. "Where were we?" He asked in the same mock thought as he tilted his head, slowly moving his face closer to her's again as he chuckled before turning his head fully and kissing her again softly.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay giggled even more, loving the obvious fact that only Ryan can really turn bad situations into good ones for her. Her smile grew as he leaned closer and closer until his lips claimed hers in a soft kiss. She kissed back just as softly, tightening her arms around him, deciding that she would just take things slow this time and enjoy her every second with Ryan. But as she kissed him longer, the impatient Sharpay inside of her just started to show, that one quality she couldn't let go easily.

She slowly moved on to his lap, her head slightly bumping into the roof of the car making her bend down to him more. She broke the kiss again, and looked at Ryan, smirking. "Now this is so much better than the party," she said, giggling flirtatiously before she claimed his lips again and kissed him more intensely this time, making a mental note not to interrupt their moment from now on, unless needed...or not.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan chuckled inwardly as the quickly resumed their slow kissing, it seemed like even this was one of their practiced routines, from where he was lying it was almost as if they had never interrupted what they were doing, so Marco Ventura was no the furthest thing from his mind as the seconds ticked by. Now it was just all about cancelling out all the bad that had happened at the party and making sure that they used their alone time to their advantage while they still had the time together.

Ryan groaned softly into the kiss as she climbed into his laps, that was one of the things that always seemed to make his brain go senseless. A shudder ran through his spin as he smiled into the kiss as he felt Sharpay move nearer to him, one of the positives of having a moment like this in cramped quarters, the added closeness they had to just stay comfortable, now glad that he had a sports car and not an SUV after all.

As Sharpay broke the kiss he let out several heavy breathes, looking at her with a dazed face. "This is a million times better than any party." He muttered, the corners of his mouth twitched into a slightly goofy smirk as he leaned up to meet her lips again, kicking his feet out slightly until his shoes pressed against the opposite door as he placed his hands softly on Sharpay's hips and leaned them both into the most comfortable position they could manage given the smaller dimensions, his head bumping against the leather interior as he continued to kiss her slowly.
