Chapter 2 Bex and Grant's announcement
Macey's POV
Cammie announced that she was pregnant yesterday, I felt overjoyed for her, so we went round hers and we stayed up really late. When I did wake up I was in my own bed – thank goodness, not a couch, I know I'm a spy and all but I hate sleeping on a couch- the things it does to my hair!
Hastily I put my make-up on a smell of oranges floated up the stairs.
Getting dressed was no biggy, skinny jeans and a boob tube, finished off with glitzy earrings and high heels, thank god, it was Saturday and I didn't have to go to work today- I was so tired.
I got downstairs to the sight of Nick frying bacon and laying out the orange squash.
"Hi Babe""Hey Mace your finally up!" Nick was smiling and dancing round the kitchen to the music blaring from the radio, he offered me his hand and I accepted, laughing as he swirled me round our kitchen-that was until we smelt crispy bacon on the edge of burning.
"Oops" I laughed.
Bex's POV
I was in the kitchen with Grant eating when all of a sudden he was by my side kissing me, then dropping onto one knee and pulling out a small box with the most beautiful engagement ring I've ever seen enclosed in it. He took a deep breath and started speaking.
"Bex Baxter, you're the love of my life, I know you think I'm crazy and I know there are many times I think you're crazy but, you're the most clever, amazing, beautiful, funny, creative and kick-ass person I've ever met in my whole life and it would be and honor if you'd accept me as your husband."
I sat in shock for a second. "Marry me Bex."
"Yes yes yes, of course I will!" He kissed me.
Macey's POV
As I sat on the sofa with Nick by my side I felt completely happy, the phone rang and Nick went to get it.
"Honey, It's for you, Bex is on and she sounds exited." I sighed got up and went to speak to Bex.
"Mace!"
"Hi Bex, how are ya"
"Grant proposed Mace!"
"OMG Bex! Wow that's so cool, I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks, can I come round yours?"
"Yeah, of course we need to begin preparations!"
"Thanks Mace"
"No problemo"
"Bye"
"See Ya"
"What was that about?" I could a certain look in his eye's that suggested that he knew exactly what had just happened
"Grant proposed to Bex and she obviously said yes!"
"Good." He smiled
"She's coming round"
"Thought so" His voice had changed.
"Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"What's up?"
"Nothing"
"OK" I knew better than to press him.
Liz's POV
Wow, loads of things have happened.
Cammie announced that she was pregnant, Grant proposed to Bex, but more worryingly something's up with Jonas, when Cammie said she was pregnant he was happy but not pleased and hasn't been right all day, all he would say when I asked him was that he was worried about Cammie. Why is he worried, maybe he is worried about Zach dumping Cammie? No Zach wouldn't ever do that, he loves Cammie. What is Jonas worrying about? Does he know something that I don't, it's possible but, why wouldn't he tell me? I tried asking Jonas some more, but he wouldn't say anything, sometimes there's no budging a spy.
I tried hacking into Cammie's medical record, nothing special. CIA database didn't reveal anything either. What is Jonas hiding?
The week went by and Jonas started to get more agitated, He's also started going round Grant's a lot more than usual, Cammie says that Zach's been the same. Their all hiding something from us, but what?
If it's about Cammie she should be told, but then again `need to know basis` was created for a reason.
This is bugging me. I'll try phoning Macey, she knows a lot about boys.
"Hi Mace"
"Oh Hi Liz, what's up?."
"Nothing really, it's just that Jonas has been acting pretty weird lately."
"Symptoms?"
"He say's he's worried about Cammie but won't tell me why and is going round Grants much more, he's definitely hiding something!"
"Cammie tells me Zach's been acting like that as well, if they really are worried about Cammie then this is serious."
"What should we do?"
"Well we could bug Grant's house to find out what there up to?"
"I don't think Bex would approve of that!"
"Plus they'd probably find out."
"Then what!"
"We wait, soon enough they'll have to spill."
"I suppose so. Thanks Mace."
"Hey are ya coming round this afternoon to help with Bex's wedding prep?"
"Sure I am!"
"Good I'll see ya later then"
"Bye"
Talking to Macey had made me feel better; at least we had someone who understood boys! Still I felt uneasy but decided I would have to be patient and as Macey put it, wait for them to spill.
Cammie POV
"Blue definitely blue, it goes with the off-yellow." Macey was saying.
"Turquoise blue?" Bex suggested
"No I don't think so that's not weddingy, more of a dark baby blue how about?"
"Yeah actually."
Bex and Macey had been going on like this for hours: draping ideas, marquee colours, shoes, dresses, tablecloths, candle holders and flowers, the discussions were endless, I started to wonder whether my wedding preparations were this long and complicated too- I suppose they were, but I had been so wrapped up in excitement that I didn't mind, now I can see why Bex got so impatient with me and Macey as we had planned the theme colours for my wedding, pale peach and light very light green, I can still remember Zach's wide eyes as he stared at me in utter amazement and I giggled.
I was drifting off… but was rudely jostled back to reality as WW3 commenced in front of my own eyes, but this time the war was an argument about- flowers!
"Carnations!"
"Tulips!"
"Carnations!"
"Tulips!"
"For the last time, Tulips Do Not Go!" Roared Macey and for the first time since I had met her Bex Baxter looked scared (Who wouldn't be scared when they were faced with Macey McHenrey in a fashion argument!)
"Fine we'll have carnations and whatever else you insisted on, but no floral patterns on the Candle holders!" Macey raised one perfect eyebrow. Bex sighed and finally agreed.
Liz and I shared a private giggle.
