Cammie isn't sure how long she's been daydreaming about him in the bathtub, but she is sure that she'd been thinking about him way before this morning. She stumbles out of her bed and walks into her bathroom. Her phone buzzes with unread texts from him. She sighs and runs her hand through her hair. She picks up the phone and dials a number.
"Hey, it's Bex. Leave a message after the tone and I'll get back to you."
Cammie sighs and dials another number.
"Hey, it's Liz. Leave a message and I promise I try to get back to you."
Another sigh. Another dialed number.
"Hey, it's Macey-" She throws her phone across the room as a knock on the door sounds through the flat. She ambles to the door reluctantly and opens the door.
"Kimmy, for the last…" she trails off as Zach walks into the room without a word. Her heart falls when he turns on his phone and looks through pictures of his girlfriend, Tina. "Zach, what happened? You look like crap." He looks up at her.
"You know what happened? She was cheating on me. How am I not supposed to look like crap?!" She walks over to him in her flannel pajamas and hugs his tall frame.
"So what happens next?" she asks. He sighs.
"Can I crash here? I'm not ready to go back there." She nods. He seems relieved.
"I'll sleep on the couch, so you can sleep in my room." He looks a little disappointed for a moment, but it passes.
"Cammie, it's fine.. I don't m-"
"No buts Zach! I'm your host until you're ready. And besides, it gets a little lonely in here by myself.." She knows that her cheeks were the tiniest bit red and she was glad that he couldn't see it. She goes into the kitchen and starts to make dinner when she realises that she's missing a key ingredient, cheese. She gasps and it rings out through the flat. She's about to run into the bedroom when he stalks into the kitchen with those chartreuse eyes shining with amusement holding the cheese.
"Looking for these?" he inquires with a lazy smirk. Her hands ball up into fits and he smirks even more. "I wonder how you can cook so well when you're such a sour person. Doesn't that interfere with you cooking?" She huffs indignantly and grabs the cheese. But just as she's entering the kitchen, she's spun around and pressed up against him. "I'm sorry…"
"Zach, why are you sorry?" She feels his heartbeat speed up and knows that his face is warming.
"I lied. I broke up with her."
"But I thought you were happy with Tina-" She's cut off as she is rocked by an explosion of feelings and warmth and sensations. Zach pulls away after a few seconds, looking satisfied.
"That's why. I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out, but it also let me realise how great of a person you are. Cammie…" She smiles and hugs him.
"But seriously, I'm still sleeping on the couch." And with that, he smirks and plants another kiss on her.
