Hello everyone. Thanks so much for all of your lovely reviews. They really help me keep focused on my writing. Sorry this chapter is a tad late. I meant to have it up yesterday but I was at my friend's birthday party. Anyway ... I hope you enjoy this and thanks again to everyone who reviewed/followed/favourited (if that's even a word) :)
It had been such a long day. Zach and I were just so tired when we got home that we practically fell asleep on the couch.
Since we graduated, Zach had been basically living with me in one of my dad's old safe houses that he never used anymore. It was really great to let us stay there since Zach wasn't entirely comfortable staying with his dad yet. And besides, I liked the company.
We'd just gotten back after our mission in Afghanistan. We'd been out there for 2 months. 2 months. We'd been away so long that everything had a thin layer of dust on it.
I groaned inwardly knowing that Zach would be freaking out as soon as he saw the mess. He was such a neat freak. But I knew that it was Blackthorne that had drilled it into him.
Zach was leaning back on the couch next to me. The sun was streaming in through the window next to us and it was really warm inside, despite being absolutely freezing outside.
For a minute I just sat there, watching Zach lay back with his eyes closed. Just then he turned to looked at me and he smirked because I hadn't looked away fast enough.
"Admiring what you see, Gallagher Girl?" He looked like he was going to burst out laughing with that stupid grin of his plastered all over his face.
"Shut up." I muttered as I swung a pillow at him half-heartedly.
He stopped it easily, what with him being a trained spy and everything. He chuckled, "I think your loosing your touch."
I knew he wasn't being serious but I kind of took that as a challenge.
"Oh yeah?" With that I promptly grabbed his arm and flung him onto the floor. That definitely got his attention. I sat on top of him and looked down, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
But I shouldn't have let my guard down. In less than a second our positions were switched and I was lying on the ground with Zach on top.
"Definitely."
I just glared at him until he leaned down and placed a light kiss on my lips.
"Don't worry Gallagher Girl. You'll always have me to watch your back." He joked.
But that was when the phone started to ring.
Hope you enjoyed all of my hard work there. I'm sorry I left it on a cliff hanger but I'll update asap.
Your faithful servant SelarahMorgan
P.S. Thanks again to all those that have reviewed and have begged me to keep going with this story and I want you to know that I'll keep this going to the end of the line :)
