Hey guys its Operative CG16! CammieZachZammie did the last chapter (very well I might add) and now its my turn! Without further ado, here's B- Birthday!
Cammie's POV
I woke up on my own. Which let me tell you, is very rare for me. But today was an exception. It was a very special day and I needed all the time I could get to prepare. Its Zach's birthday today! I was so excited, my roommates, Bex, Liz, and Macey, helped me plan a really awesome party. Mom let us borrow the Great Hall for the party and Tina, Eva, Anna, Courtney, and Mick would be setting up when they got up. It was my job to orchestrate the whole thing and keep Zach busy when he was awake.
I quickly ran into the bathroom and took a shower. I grabbed my usual Saturday clothes (Mom said on the weekends we didn't have to wear our uniforms) and changed. After applying a thin layer of makeup I ran downstairs and into the Great Hall to see all the boxes filled with party supplies neatly stacked off the side. It would be a little bit before people got up so I decided to get started. I opened the first box found party styled cups, napkins, plates, etc. I put that one on the sophomore table and opened the next. There were six boxes in total. I opened and sorted the boxes, putting them on diffent tables, taking out what was inside and putting it in groups so everything would be easier to set up. All that took about 30 minutes and in that time most of the girls had awoken, dressed, and arrived in the Great Hall.
I knew we had over an hour to set up in peace (or at least with me there) because Zach never woke up earlier than 11 on weekends. He was such a guy. But in this case that was a good thing. I put Anna and Courtney on food duty, setting up the plates and utensils on the buffet table. Tina was blowing up balloons, Eva was hanging streamers with the help of Mick. Liz was setting up the lights, Macey had the music, and Bex was setting up cheesey party games like bean bag toss and beer pong without the alcohol. I was directing everything, making sure it was all perfect.
Everyone was still setting up, the chef had now arrived and was starting to make the food, when I glanced at my watch and saw it was already 10:45. I told everyone to keep going, they were doing a great job, and I was going to go keep Zach occupied. I looked at my roommates and they nodded. I waved and walked out into the hall. I ventured to the teacher's wing, where Zach's room was. I reached his door and walked right in, not bothering to knock, knowing he was still asleep.
I closed the door behind me and turned to face him. I almost 'awwed' out loud. He looked so adorable when he was asleep. His hair hung loosely in his eyes, his mouth slightly open, arms out stretched, one hanging off the bed and the other resting on his stomach. I crossed the room and sat next to him on the edge of the bed. I reached out and gently stroked his hair with my hand.
''Hey baby, its time to get up,'' I whispered in his ear.
He stirred but didn't wake up.
Sighing, I layed down next to him, my back to the door, and cupped his cheek in my left hand while my right continued stroking his hair.
''Come on baby, wake up.''
He groaned but still didn't move.
''Babe, get up.''
''Mmmmmm,'' he hummed.
The arm I was laying on wrapped around my waist and the one on his stomach followed, pulling me flush against him. My head was forced to the crook of his neck and he rested his cheek on my forehead. I had moved my hands just in time so they rested on his chest.
''Good morning Gallagher Girl,'' he whispered in my ear.
''Morning.''
We stayed like that for a few minutes.
''Um, Zach, you gonna get up now?" I asked.
''Nah, I'm comfortable.''
''Zach...''
''Yes Gallagher Girl?"
You could hear the smirk in his voice.
''Get up.''
''No.''
''Zach come on.''
"No...'' he moaned.
I kept quiet, thinking for a moment. As much as I wanted him to get up, this was a great way to keep him busy and I wasn't going to admit it out loud but I liked this position. After my mental debate, I finally made a decision.
''Fine...''
"Great.''
''Mm-hm.''
''Ya know Gallagher Girl, you gotta be nice to me today.''
''Yeah, and why is that?" I asked, playing innocent.
''Its my birthday.''
I pretended to be shocked.
''What?! Why didn't you tell me?"
''You never asked. And besides, its not important.''
I just stared at him.
''Everything's important to me...''
''I know Gallagher Girl, I know. But you're the only present I will ever need.''
Awwwwwww
I smirked evily as an idea popped in my head.
''Well then,'' I moved my head from his neck to right in front of his face, slowly moving in with every word. ''Happy. Birthday,'' I whispered.
He visibly gulped and his breath quickened ever so slightly. I smirked and closed the gap.
Without a moments hesitation his lips responded and pressed harder against mine. His hands moved to my hips and gripped them tightly. I threaded my fingers through his hair. Rolling over, he pinned me beneath him, supporting his weight with his arms, deepening the kiss. The blanket that was around his waist slipped to the floor, showing his red, blue, and black plad pajama pants. I pulled back, smiling, he gave me a little grin too. He leaned back in but I pushed him over and he rolled onto the floor with an ''Umf!"
I peaked over the edge to see Zach on his back staring up at me.
''Oopsie daisies?"
''Oh you're going to get it.''
Realizing he was serious I leaped from the bed, over Zach, and out the door. I knew I'd have a head start seeing as he had to out on a shirt. I ran on the opposite direction of the Great Hall to keep him as far away from the party as possible. I could hear his footsteps behind me so I picked up my speed. As I turned a corner I couldnt hear him anymore. I slowed and looked around. There wasn't anyone there so I continued on. I heard a noise in the connecting hall so I took off again. Suddenly arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me up and spinning me around. I squealed and laughed as Zach spun me.
''Gotcha.''
''Very funny.''
''I thought so.''
''Whatever. So what do you want to do today? I mean it is your birthday.''
''I just want to hang out with my Gallagher Girl.''
Awwwwwwwwww
''Well then, let's get started.''
He gave me a questioning look.
''I'm gonna plan the perfect birthday. Movies, popcorn, fun.''
''Sounds great.''
I pulled him to the common room and grabbed a bean bag, pushing him on it. I walked over to the TV and popped in his favorite movie- Skyfall. I plopped down next to him and pushed play. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my temple. I smiled.
After the movie it was almost time for the party. I sent Zach back to his room and told him to dress nicely, but not too fancy. Once his door was closed I raced to my suite where Macey was waiting. She did my make up, hair, and placed a dress on my bed, ready for me to put on. It was a strapless peachy, skin tone colored dress with a small rose at the left side of the waist, the top sequined and the bottom flowy and silky. (pic on profile)
Once I was ready I sent an eighth grader to get Zach while I headed to the Great Hall. It looked awesoeme! Everyone else was here. When they saw me I gave them the signal and everyone got in their places. I flicked the lights and the world went black.
We waited for Zach and Ale (the eighth grader (and my co-author, luv u)) to arrive. Someone knocked on the door, using the secret knock we set up as code, so it must have been Ale. I pressed a button on my bracelet that gave Ale a little shock, letting her know we ready. She opened the door and Zach's voice floated through the air.
''Um, why am I here, I thought we were meeting Cam?"
"We are.'' That we was our cue. I flicked the lights once more and as brightness flooded the room we all yelled ''SURPRISE!"
Zach stood there with his mouth hanging open as his gaze swept the room, the decorations, the girls (the entire junior and sophomore class), and finally me.
''How- how did you know?"
''Oh please, did you really believe I didn't know when your birthday was?" I asked.
He blushed. Blushed!
''Maybe...''
We all laughed.
''Well let's get this party started!" Macey shouted. Everyone agreed. Liz turned on the lights and a rainbow of colors filled the room. They swirled and swivvled, changing and blinking. Bex cranked the music and today's top hits blarred through the hall. People started to mingle and grab food. Some girls started to play the games and create their own using the balloons. I awkwardly stood in the corner, watching the party. Arms suddenly wrapped around me from behind, pulling me against the person's chest.
''You're amazing,'' a voice whispered in my ear.
I turned, facing Zach, wrapping my own arms around his neck.
''I know.''
He chuckled and brushed my hair out of my eyes.
''I mean it. This is the best birthday I could every ask for.''
I blushed and smiled a little.
''I would do anything for you.''
He looked at me lovingly.
''I know. I would do anything for you too.'' I smiled.
He took my hand and led me to the dance floor. Oh yeah, we had a dance floor. We swayed to the music, wrapped in each others arms, completely oblivious to our surroundings.
After a while he pulled away.
''Thank you.''
''Your welcome.''
He grinned.
"Happy birthday,'' I whispered as I closed the space between us and kissed him.
So that's B! Hope you like it and get ready for C, coming soon! by CammieZachZammie! Or Ale/Abby! See you soon!
