With You
Hmm... I wonder if I should get tea, coffee, or hot chocolate today, I wondered as I walked down a hallway in headquarters. Ooh, maybe... Zach... Wait, huh? What was I thinking about again?
*CRASH*
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Here I am minding my own business when some guy trying to get somewhere in a rush, runs right into me and bam! I suddenly have some kind of green liquid all over my shirt, hey, at least it's on the guy's shirt, too.
Let me see who, wait, why is my shirt sizzling? I just bought this, whoever did this is going down! Whoa, major Macey-talk right there.
Great, looking down at my shirt I realize I'm going to have a huge whole in the shirt and the tank top I was wearing underneath.
I look up to see who did this and now I'm in a whole new kind of pain. Zach. He's standing right in front of me with a similar sizzling whole on his shirt, only his is a lot smaller. I wonder how that happened (note the sarcasm). He probably planned this.
At the moment the emotions running across his face look like this: humor, longing, sadness, humor, and... lust? (In that order.)
The emotions running across my face look like this: surprise, realization, depression, longing, anger, more anger, and confusion. (Once again, in that order.) Why the heck does he have lust in his eyes? Oh... I look down at where the front of my shirt used to be and blush.
"Zach?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh... Oh, hey, Cammie."
"Zach?" I repeat.
"I have to go!"
"I don't think so." I say while grabbing the back of his shirt, as he tries to run away.
"Do you mind explaining this?"
"Actually, yes, I do mind."
"Well, that's too bad. What the heck is this anyway?"
"One of Jonas's experiments."
"What's the experiment for? Revenge against the girl who broke your heart?" And her own while she was at it, I silently added.
I watched as Zach became sad, but quickly covered it up with annoyance.
"No, it's for a liquid that can burn through several solid medal doors at once. You're just lucky you got the first addition, so it wasn't powerful at all." He said while supposedly looking through me right where my bra happens to be. Doesn't he have a girl friend?
"Yeah, I'm sure it was just luck."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I think you know."
"Well, you're wrong. I wouldn't sabotage someone's shirt just because they crushed my world."
"Funny, I didn't happen to mention anything about sabotage, did I?" Zach quietly cursed after that.
"Maybe you did. You just don't know it." I rolled my eyes and thought, greatest comeback ever.
I was about to say just that when, Zach's new girlfriend comes into the hallway first looking dumbstruck, then absolutely furious.
"ZACH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY, AT LEAST HAVE SOME CLASS! YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT BEHIND MY BACK! This isn't what I meant by us being honest with each other!" Zach and I just shared a confused glance then realization dawned upon me and I started blushing so much I probably looked like an overripe tomato. I quickly let go of Zach's shirt (did I mention I was still holding it?) and took a couple paces away from Zach, but he still looked confused.
Finally, after his girlfriend pointing between the two of us and motioning my ripped shirt did he understand. I rolled my eyes at his slowness, but that just brought on another bittersweet memory with him which I quickly pushed away in my mind and put up a blank mask on my face.
"Honey, this isn't what you think it is! Let me explain before you try and kill me!" Zach pleaded, but his girlfriend looked doubtful. (Yeah, I know she probably has a name, but I didn't get around to bothering myself to find out. If she's the girl in Zach's life now, I don't really want to know anything about her other than she's good for Zach. Which leads me back to thinking, why didn't I realize he was the love of my life?)
"I'm listening," then quietly she said "at the moment."
"I was just trying to get even with Cammie after... Yeah, so anyways I took one of Jonas's basic liquid burning experiments to burn a whole in her new shirt." I just realized two things after he said this 1) he knew about my new shirt, which means he's been stalking (or spying if you want) me and 2) 'liquid burning experiments,' geez what does Jonas live for these days? (I'll have to talk to Liz about that one.)
I also noticed that he said 'getting even' with me, so does that mean he just wants to hurry up and be done with me? Well, I'll ponder on that later because I'm pretty sure his girlfriend noticed the first thing I did.
"How would you know it was a new shirt?" She said while icily glaring in my direction and occasionally Zach's.
"That, right, you know I was just thinking the same thing." He sheepishly replied.
"Well, I'm pretty sure you're not a fashion-ista, so a) you've been stalking her or b) looking at her everyday at work, which means you haven't been paying attention to me! What kind of boyfriend does that?"
"The kind you shouldn't be with, I'm still not over Cammie." As Zach said this I stopped, looking surprised that he admitted it, from slowly backing away toward my office.
"YOU WHAT?" She screeched so loudly that about ten people came rushing into the hallway with several different items including a fire extinguisher (do you see a fire?), a stapler (how is that going to help?), and a slipper (now I'm starting to wonder).
Then, as people were taking in the situation I realized that I still have a big gap in the front of my shirt, so not to draw attention or anything, I rush off sprinting to my office, only briefly pausing when I heard Zach yell 'Cammie wait.'
Before I open the door to my office, I hear in the distance the words Zach and his girlfriend are yelling to one another. From what I heard it went something like this:
"Why did you do this to me?"
"Didn't I just say I wasn't over my ex?"
*SLAP!*
"Holy, OW! What the heck? I probably deserved that, though..."
"You bet you did!"
*SLAP!*
"HEY!"
"Is for horses!"
"What?"
*Queue frustrated scream and loud stomps.*
Well, after listening to that I again realized I was still standing outside my door probably looking like an idiot and I could hear footsteps coming this way, so I stepped inside my room as quickly as possible.
I then locked my door, but realized too late that anyone could pick that and come inside (I am in headquarters). I realized too late because as I was frantically looking for a shirt I didn't notice someone unlocking the door and slipping inside.
I'll let you guess who it was... My dad, ha! You lose! I bet you thought it would be Zach, right?
Well, you were actually right, it was Zach. I was just kidding because I think it's about to get more emotional in here than if my dad miraculously came back. And that would be pretty emotional if you ask me.
"Hey, Gallagher girl." Zach said in a soft voice.
"Um, hi?" I was hoping he didn't realize I still hadn't found a shirt, yet, since I was crouching below my desk, but he just chuckled.
"I see you haven't gotten a new shirt, yet, but just between you and me I think I like it better that way." Dang it. At least his smirk was sexy.
"Um, aren't you still mad at me?"
"Well, technically yes, but my life has pretty much been a downer since we split up."
"Gee, I love the emotion you put into your words. But, if we're having confession time I've really missed you, too Zach. I can't stand being away, but I need to focus on my work and you were already staring to move on... Only a week after I ended us." I hoped he could read the gloominess in my eyes, but judging from the way he looked determined on something else, I don't think he cared.
"Cammie, I only tried to move on, and notice how I said tried because if you didn't just notice, I'm currently single. Anyways, I only tried to move on because you said you didn't want a relationship and I only wanted to make you happy, but you looked so intent on focuses on your job and I didn't want to make things worse between us. But, I ended up leaving you alone, not trying to win you back, and killing myself while I was at it. I know you feel the same way because I can tell because you'll always be my Gallagher girl, forever and always." I stared at Zach in awe with happy tears glistening in my eyes. I stood up from behind the desk and leapt into his awaiting arms in which he twirled me around and then we just kept in the embrace.
"I'm so sorry Zach; I just didn't think we'd have had enough time together before to actually have a relationship. Again, I'm so sorry." The response I got though wasn't what I expected because it sounded like a groan.
"Uh, what was that?" I tried to pull back to see his face, but he just pulled me closer to him. Again, another groan, what the heck?
"Zach?" This time I forcefully pulled back to look at him.
"Yeah?" He replied in a lazy voice.
"Are you groaning?"
"Mm hmm." I looked at him like, uh, what? (I know real descriptive.)
"You gonna tell me why?" He just looked at my shirt then back up at my face with a knowing grin on his face- Wait a minute, I'm not wearing a shirt, oh, I see...
"Maybe you shouldn't be thinking like that Zach, I mean, we're not even officially back together and I'd prefer if your eyes were on my face."
"I wasn't thinking that way until you pressed against me with no top on." He then smirked, aggravating boy.
"Whose fault is that?"
"I don't know, but maybe I should thank them." He replied with a sly smile.
"How did I ever live without you for this long?"
"You didn't both of us were dead on the inside until today." 'Gee, thanks for reminding me,' I wanted to say but refrained from doing so.
"Well, I do feel a lot better alive with you, but I have a question. Are we going to make this work, this time?"
"I know we will because I'd do anything for you and I'm not losing you again."
"We'll see, but you have to prove that we're perfect for each other. Ever since I broke up with you I have been depressed, the life was sucked out of me. The only thing that brought me joy was my daily tea, coffee, or hot chocolate but you ruined that." I glared accusingly at him while telling him this.
"And how did I ruin that?" He stated in a sarcastic tone.
"I was headed there before a certain person spilled questionable green liquid on my new shirt."
"I like it better off anyway." He smirked.
"Not like I can't tell you look at my bra every five seconds, didn't I say eyes on my face?"
"I'm not sure; I was too busy looking at your bra."
"Zach!"
"Okay, okay... I'll be a gentleman and look away if I must."
"You must. So, what should we do now?" Oh, no. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, he has an evil glint in his eyes.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to kiss you now, Gallagher girl." The next thing I knew he was so close to my face our lips were brushing. He only paused a second to say something to me.
"I love you."
"I love you, too." I whispered back and his lips instantly melded into mine.
Our lips were moving perfectly in sync as I just thought about the amazing guy I have.
I pushed closer to Zach, which he responded to by groaning and asking for entrance in mouth by running his tongue along my bottom lip, which I complied to.
Two minutes later we pulled back for air and rested our foreheads against each others, content, staring into the other's eyes. (It's not like we were making out if you're wondering why it didn't last longer.)
Randomly, we heard something falling to the ground and breaking outside my office accompanied by an 'oopsy-daisy.' Thanks for ruining the moment, Liz, but oh, well it was bound to happen eventually.
After the crash Zach and I heard two angry whispers and one apologizing whisper. Are we having a party? If, so I'd like to change into another shirt first.
"Time to get this over with, c'mon Zach." I open the door while holding Zach's hand with my other hand and my three best friends stumble inside the door.
We're met with looks of surprise, happiness, and then you-will-tell-me-everything looks. Oh, joy.
Okay, I didn't think this was very good, but on the bright side it was longer! Oh, well, so what did you think? I don't know how long this story will be, yet. Please review with suggestions, comments, thoughts, and anything else! :) By the way that was my first kising scene if it seemed weird to you. :P
P.S. I'm disappointed my favorite team, the Steelers, didn't win the Superbowl. (If, there are any football watchers out there.)
P.S.S. Check out my poll! And REVIEW! :D
