There was no way he could love her. She wasn't the drop dead, gorgeous, could-pull-off anything fashionista like Macey. She wasn't a small and pixie like southern belle genius like Liz. And she wasn't a tough Egyptian goddess like Bex. She was normal, plain, average. She had plain dirty blonde hair that fell to her mid back, dull hazel eyes, and a small stature. She wasn't tall or short, fat or skinny, smart or dumb, or beautiful or ugly. She was in the middle average.
She didn't understand how a guy like Zach could stand there and tell her he loved her. He was beyond hot, god-like even. His short black hair with his emerald green eyes screamed hot. And that smirk of his didn't help at all. It had to be a joke.
He had to have made a bet with Grant or Jonas or something. She couldn't believe the day he asked her to be his girlfriend. And she thought one day he'll get bored with me like they always do with plain-Jane Cammie. So when he said it she just stared wide eyed and shocked.
"What?" she asked as if she hadn't heard right.
"I love you." Zach repeated. The look in his eyes screamed truth. But he was a spy, and spies were trained to lie like that.
"No you don't. You can't." I said. He looked confused. "You can't love someone like me. You should be with someone like Tina or Macey. I'm just average Zach. I'm not as beautiful as them. You'll just get bored with me one day." I finished.
He looked bewildered at my statement and then angry. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his chest. He held me close before he pulled back and kissed me right on the lips. It was amazing like everything else about Zach. When he pulled away, I was thrown back into reality. He buried his head in my hair and held me.
"Cammie you are more beautiful than you know. I love the way your hazel eyes shine when you laugh. I love the way the sound of you voice turns my world upside down. The feel of your lips against mine drive me crazy. Your body fits perfectly against mine. I love your determination to protect the ones you love. I love your will to fight and never give up. Cammie I love everything about you. I love you." he whispered in my ear. I was speechless and in tears.
"Zach…" I said when he pulled back.
"Don't Cam." he interrupted me. I pressed my lips to his again. I pulled back.
"I was just going to say that I love you too." I told him with a smile. He smirked at me and wiped my tears away. He lent down to kiss me, but stopped with his lips barely brushing against mine when he spoke.
"I was hoping you'd say that." he whispered before he captured my lips with his. I maybe average in the eyes of many, but in his I was perfect. In his heart I was special, and that was all I needed.
