Cam POV
"Come on Cam, let's go!" Bex yelled from the front door. A duffle bag slung over her shoulder. "Everyone else is already in the van!"
"I'm coming, jeez!" I called back. I ran with my bag as fast as I could down the front steps of the Gallagher mansion without toppling over. Bex got in the back of the van and I jumped in the passenger seat. Zach was sitting next to me behind the wheel. He always drove when we ever left the mansion. Bex, Grant, Liz, Jonas, Macey, and another one of Zach's friends, - who Macey instantly took a liking to - Noah, sat in the back. Everybody was anxious and excited. All eight of us were staying in one of Jonas' houses, which was currently not being lived in, on the coast of South Carolina (he came from a very wealthy family). We had decided to spend our summer before Senior year in an extra fun way.
"You guys ready to rock and roll?!" Zach called. There were a series of hoots and hollers as his response. "Okay, let's get going then!"
It was about an eight and a half hour drive, and Zach held my hand for most of it. Liz insisted that we play some games so we weren't bored out of our minds. ISpy didn't last very long because Grant apparently saw something that was non-existent and refused to tell us what it was, so we all quit after about an hour. We played other games but none really ended well. Macey fell asleep, and Bex noticed that she was holding Noah's hand, who was sitting next to her.
"Looks like we got another couple to join the club. It was only a matter of time before it happened." Jonas exclaimed, we were all laughing but still Macey didn't wake up.
"Yah. And to think that it all started with Zach and Cammie." Liz said. I smiled at Zach, blushing, and he squeezed my hand and grinned back at me. God, I love that grin. I couldn't wait to get there, and we could have some time alone. Me and my roommates had talked about how excited we were to have time with our guys. We could all tell that there was something going on between Macey and Noah, even though she didn't say anything. Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by the van halted to a stop. Zach's arm shot out in front of me so I did't shoot out the windshield like a bullet. Everyone jolted forward and I heard the girls scream. Zach honked the horn at the idiot driver in front of us.
"Sorry! Sorry about that guys. Everybody okay?" He asked. I looked back to find Liz practically in Jonas' lap, Bex in Grant's arms, and Macey in Noah's grasp. Zach looked at me with concern in his eyes, "you okay?"
"Yah, I'm fine." I responded. And we were off again.
When we finally reached the house, we were in awe at the sight. It was a huge house. A mansion, and it was right on the beach. We all jumped out of the car, gathered our luggage, and rushed inside. Inside it was beautiful. It had stained glass windows and there were gorgeous pictures on the walls. It was all beach-y themed inside so the walls were a pretty blues and sand colors. There were nine bedroom total, so we each had our own. Girls on the third floor, boys on the second. My room was the yellow one, and almost everything was yellow. I plopped my bag down on the bed and unpacked. I then stared out the window at the astonishing view. I could see the waves crashing below me, and I could hear them too. It was one of the most amazing sounds I have ever heard before. It seemed like I could see the whole ocean from there. I felt strong arms rap around my waist and a head sat on my shoulder. I could feel Zach's breath tickle my neck as we stood in silence for a moment.
Finally, he broke the silence, "this is going to be a fun two weeks, Gallagher Girl."
I chuckled. "Yes, yes it will be. We can have campfires, and swim at the beach, and sleep on the sand. And do whatever the heck we want." I said. Zack nodded and turned me so we were facing each other.
"And we can drive into town that's not to far from here and go have a date night."
"Sounds like a plan." I said, smiling like an idiot. Then Zach leaned down to kiss me. He wrapped his arms tighter around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I draped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. We were kissing for the whole ocean to see. After about four minutes, we broke apart, breathing heavily. Zack kissed my neck a couple times before saying,
"Well, let me go finish unpacking so we can head down to the beach. Get the stuff ready?"
I nodded. "Yah, but hurry. The suns going down."
"Then we'll go night swimming." Zach said, smirking. I chuckled. He kissed me forehead and let me go. I watched him as he started out of the room. "Oh, and Cammie…"
"Yeah?"
"My room's just down stairs, don't be afraid to come visit me." He announced with a mischievous look on his face.
I laughed. "Okay. Good to know." Then he walked out of the room. I nearly fainted. He was just so, oh whats the word, hot. So amazingly amazing. And most importantly, so mine. And I knew at that moment, these were going to be some of the best weeks ever.
Zach and I had been at the beach for an hour or two. The sun was setting. We were swimming where we couldn't touch when I felt something grab my ankle. At first I panicked. I gave a playful shriek when Zach's head popped up. I splashed him with the salt water.
"Don't do that! You freaked me out!" I shouted, throwing a clump of seaweed at him.
"Aww. I'm sorry, babe. I was just playin' around." Zach responded. Putting on a childish innocent face, which doesn't really work too well on him.
"Yah, well, you can play around without having your nose broken by a ticked off teenage girl-slash-spy." I said, laughing.
"Okay. I learned my lesson." He said, smiling at me. I heard shouting coming from the beach and I turned to see the rest of the crew barreling into the waves. Zach and I swam in a bit so we could meet them.
"Chicken fight!" Bex yelled. "You, me, Grant, and Zach. I challenge you." She said in a dramatic voice, pointing at me.
"I except your challenge." I called back in an equally-dramatic voice. I climbed onto Zach's shoulders. "You're on, Rebecca!" Well, saying that just ticker her off so I knew I was in for it now. Grant and Zach ran forward and I grabbed Bex's arms when I could reach her. She twisted her arm in a way that I lost my grip on her and she grabbed my shoulder in an attempt of shoving me off. But I turned my chest the other way. Then she slugged me in the arm. Yes, actually hit me. I wanted to finish her off. I gave a punch to her gut and grabbed her shoulder…but she was too quick. Bex spun around and shoved me as hard as she could. I toppled off Zach and into the water. That is a chicken fight spy style. Everybody was cheering for Bex.
"Yah Bex!" Liz shouted. Macey gave her a high five and so did Jonas and Noah.
"That's my boy!" Bex said to Grant. Then she gave him a victory kiss, which made everybody yell louder. We all laughed and laughed.
"Next time, Baxter. Rematch. This week. You won't be laughing anymore." I said with an evil expression. Bex smiled.
"We will have to see about that." She replied. We all swam for a little longer. The sun was just about down when we decided to call it quits. We were all so tired from the long day of traveling. And we wanted to be rested for the day full of fun tomorrow. As we were walking back to the house, I stopped to admire the beautiful sunset. Zach stopped with me and grabbed both of my hands.
"Hey, sorry about losing earlier. I should have kicked him in the shins." He said. That made me laugh.
"No, don't worry about it. I pulled a bad move. We'll get 'em next time." I said. He chuckled. "It's so gorgeous." I exclaimed in awe, looking back at the orange and purple sky. The colors looked like they had been spilled all over. Like God accidentally knocked over a bunch of paint cans in almost every color imaginable. It was amazing, reflecting off the water like it did.
"Yah." Zach caught my eyes, "reminds me of someone I know." I smiled and looked down at the ground. Fairly aware that my cheeks were to the color of fire truck red. He took a step forward, almost completely closing the gap between us. "Cam?"
"Yah?" His look made me question what he was about to say. His eyes bore so far into mine it was almost scary.
"I wanted to find the perfect moment to say this, but I can't keep waiting any longer. And this moment seems pretty perfect." Zach said with shakiness. I realized I have almost never, ever seen him look nervous. But right then, I have almost never, ever seen anyone look so nervous in my life. Zach's smile was gone, and he kept fingering my hands. But he never took his eyes off me. "I love you, Cammie." I Just stood there like an idiot for a few seconds, just staring at him. I could't really think. Had I just imagined what he said? Was I so excited about our trip I was becoming delusional? In the middle of my silent freak-out inside my head, it occurred to me that he was expecting me to say something. When I opened my mouth, nothing came out. So I went for plan B. I completely closed the space that divided us. I smashed my lips into Zach's with such force he took a step backward. He reached up and cupped my face in his hands, and my hands were on his muscular upper arms. I broke away for just a second.
"I love you too, Zach." I expressed, looking into his eyes. I meant it more than almost anything I have ever said. Zach let go of my face and squeezed my waist, kissing me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We kissed with such an intensity, such a longing, such a need for each other. Like if we didn't make the best of that very moment, the whole world would end. It was the kind of kiss where everything around seemed to melt away. It was a kiss that two people who loved each other share. I could't help smiling, and Zach must have felt it, because he was smiling too. He tilted his head the other direction to get in closer. Zach clutched me harder and picked me up so my feet were dangling in the air. Then he spun me around a couple times, never stopping kissing me. I was laughing while still kissing him. Zach stopped and and put me back down on the ground. I broke away and turned when I heard a bunch of clicking noises. I was stunned to see Macey with her super-duper expensive camera up to her eye.
"It was a good camera moment." She said, shrugging. Macey turned and ran back to the house. I saw her meet Bex in the middle of the path and show her the pictures. Bex looked up and smiled at me. I waved her to go away, blushing and smiling back. I turned back to Zach. He was smiling that smile that makes my brain shut off.
"Should we go back? Or can we continue this juncture?" He said, smirking.
"Continue." I replied. I kissed him again. Softer than our full on make out session that occurred a few minuted earlier. I pulled away and lay down on the spongey sand. Zach lay down next to me and bundled me into his arms. The sun had set all the way now, and we gazed up at the sky that was almost fully dark, the first stars had appeared. I put my hand on Zach's chest and I could feel his heart beat. He gently kissed the top of my head.
After the sky had turned an exquisite shade of black and blue, I started to doze off. Just before I was asleep, I heard Zach whisper into my ear, "goodnight, Gallagher Girl." He kissed me one last time.
"Goodnight." I mumbled. Then I gave in to sleep. I felt safest in Zach's arms, and I could not imagine any other place I would rather be at that moment.
