I'm writing a one-shot (may become a two or three or four or five shot! Who knows?) for the L'Espion Belle Challenge! Go check it out(: topXsecret is the [fantastic] manager!

Prompt: kitten

It was Thursday afternoon, and Zach and I were sitting on my bed doing homework. I chewed on my pen's cap and tried to focus on the CoveOps homework I was doing, but Zach was staring at me, and it was really distracting.

Seemingly out of nowhere, he said, "Come on, Gallagher Girl," Zach grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my seat and down the hall.

"Where are we going?"

"I have a surprise for you! Have some faith."

I decided to go along with it, but then he took me down a path in the woods on the Gallagher property. I slipped my hand out of his and stopped, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Where are we going?" I asked again.

"Cammie. Would you just, for once, not be difficult and do what I tell you?"

I didn't say anything. I just continued to stand there glaring at him. He smirked, and it took my breath away for a second.

The sun, shining through the tree tops, lit up the world around me like it was on fire. The beauty seemed to radiate out of the gorgeous boy in front of me.

Since I wasn't moving, I wasn't sure if it was because I was being stubborn or because I was still stunned, he muttered, "Of course not….. If you must know, I have a special date planned for us."

The idea that he planned something romantic for us melted my heart and my guard dropped, "You did?"

He rolled his eyes, "Yes. Now will you follow me?"

I walked to where he was standing and wrapped my arm around his waist, "Let's go."

We were lying on a blanket in a field full of flowers. Lazing around, basking in the warmth of the sun, and enjoying each other's presence.

My head lay in Zach's lap, and he was playing with my hair, twirling it around his fingers.

(I was soooo tempted to put a Hunger Games quote here! I refrained. With difficulty)

I was scared to break the silence, the perfection of this moment, with words. We were totally comfortable as we were. We didn't need to talk. We just needed to be. To be together.

After a few minutes, he gently removed my head from his lap and moved down so he was next to me. He rolled on his side, and he looked me in the eyes.

We were both momentarily captivated by each other. It was like we were reading each other's heart, feelings, thoughts, soul, and mind just by staring at each other.

I'd never felt so vulnerable, so bare, but I wasn't scared. Those walls? The covers I'd spent years perfecting? All of it crashed when I looked into his eyes. I trusted Zach with every single ounce of my being.

With those thoughts in mind, I did something I'd wanted to do for a while now. I kissed him. And he kissed me back.

Lying on the blanket, I memorized every single detail about that moment because I wanted to remember every minute even twenty years from now.

In the middle of our kiss, something warm, soft, and fuzzy wiggled its way into the little space underneath our faces.

We broke apart and, in between the two of us, sat a little white and black kitten with a pink nose.

I chuckled softly trying not to scare it, but it seemed perfectly comfortable. It purred and snuggled closer to us.

"Aren't you a cute little thing?"

Zach smirked, "That I am, Cameron, my dear. That I am."

"Well, I can't deny that, but I was talking about the kitten, Zach."

"That hurts. That hurts right here," he said, pointing to his heart.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm sure it didn't damage your enormous ego too much."

The kitten, not happy with losing our attention, licked Zach's nose. His surprised face had me in a fit of giggles.

"Awww… looks like it likes you."

"The Goode charm is not something that is easy to resist."

I smacked his arm, "One day that ego and that smirk of yours will get you into some trouble, mister! "

"Nah… I'm Goode."

I rolled my eyes at his lame pun, "Now, about this little fur ball."

I looked at it curiously. Its adorableness had already won me over.

"We can't just leave it here, Zach! We have to take it with us."

He let out a groan, "Cammie! You know pets aren't allowed."

"When have we ever let the rules stop us before?"

He smirked, "Goode point. If we get caught, though, I'm blaming you."

"We won't get caught. Now, what should we name it?"

I thought back to when I had dated Josh and remembered telling him about my cat named Suzie. A cat that didn't exist.

When I laughed at the memory, Zach gave me a curious look, and I told him the truth, "You wouldn't want to know what I was thinking."

He looked confused, but then understanding passed over his face, replaced with disgust, "Oh. Were you thinking about Jimmy?"

I just laughed at his expression and my eyes landed on one of the many flowers in the field. Plucking it from the ground, I twirled the flower between my fingers and said, "How about Amaryllis?" (This is a gorgeous flower! Look it up!)

He smiled, and it lit up my world, "Sounds perfect." Noticing the setting sun, he pecked my cheek, "Let's head on back, Gallagher Girl."
