AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey again,
Chapter 3 was NOT my best writing, but I think this is better. It's mainly Cammie and Zach, it's pretty mushy and cheesy, but sometimes you gotta do that. Some people might say it's a little early for Cammie and Zach in the story, but don't worry, I've got some things planned ;P
I was listening to Hedley and Ke$ha was on my school's radio show so, bear with me ;)
So, hopefully enjoy, READ & PLZ REVIEW!!!!!

CHAPTER 4
"Mmm, these all look so yummy!" I exclaimed.
"I know they do, but don't forget to work out while you're eating those. I forgot one summer..." Bex trailed off, patting her stomach looking sheepish.
"I remember that! Liz actually beat you in P&E." We both laughed. "Don't worry. I'll remember."
We ended up buying five chocolates, dark, milk, white, marble, and truffle. I ate three before we got out of the store and Bex snatched her two away from me before I could get to them. They were so good!
"So, what now?"
"Well, here in London it is about 7 PM, so I suggest we go home, order food, and hit the clubs tonight."
"Sounds good."
We had the typical fish and chips because I wanted to be able to be a true tourist for once in my life. Then, Bex and I went upstairs to look for good clubbing outfits.
"Alright Cammie, let's see what's in your suitcase." Bex dumped everything in my suitcase onto the floor. There wasn't much, let alone something I could wear to a club.
"Well, this isn't going to work, so I'll have to loan you something of mine."
"Oh no Bex. Really, I'll just alter one of my outfits." When Bex loaned you something, you got stuck with having to wear whatever she chose, and believe me, it usually wasn't exactly modest. It wasn't too bad but...
"No, come on. Let's see." She started throwing things out of her closet. "Found it!" She pulled out some kind of clothing I was supposed to put on. Without looking too closely I put it on and Bex straightened my hair and did my make-up.
"I am a master." She rolled back on the balls of her feet. "No looking until I'm ready! In the meantime, put these on." She handed me a pair of flats. She changed in record time and pushed me in front of a full length mirror. I gasped. The girl was not me. She was wearing a short black dress (short!) that clung to her in all the right places so her legs looked infintely longer and she looked very slim, but muscularly built. Her hair fell to the middle of her back, shimmmering in the light, and her dark blue eyes were accentuated with smoky black eyelinear, sparkly navy blue eyeshadow and mascara that pulled her lashes out, making them look noticably longer and fuller.
"What did you do Bex?"
"Not much really." Bex herself looked amazing. She was wearing leather pants that stuck to her like a second skin and a long white halter top that showed off her muscular shoulders. She was wearing gladiator style 4-inch stilettos, black. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and was straightened so it fell to the middle of her back even in a ponytail. Her make-up was mostly browns and blacks. We were quite a pair to be going to a club.
We went downstairs to get her mom's approval.
"Alright, you look very nice, now get going, that club for teens is a bit of a walk and since Bex left her car at Buckingham Palace," how she knew this I had no idea, wait, spy. "you guys are stuck walking." She smiled. "I'll pick you up later. Text me." Yes, Karen was one of the few moms in this world that knew how to text.
Bex grabbed a purse and I shoved my wallet and stuff into her bag (big black one, looked awesome with her outfit). We went out the door.
"Gallagher girl?" Zach pulled up next to us a few blocks away from Bex's house.
"Blackthorne boy?" I shot back, mocking him.
"Hey, at least I have a ride. Where are you guys going?" I stepped out from behind Bex. Zach's eyes literally bugged out of his head. I heard the breath go out of him. He tried to cover it up, but I'm a spy, it didn't work. I smirked.
"A club." Bex answered.
"Nightlight?" He asked. She nodded. "I was heading there, you want a ride?"
"Sure. I call shotgun!" Bex yelled.
"Shut up Bex." I laughed. We climbed in, myself in the back, Bex in the front. I noticed Zach was wearing all black, but the shirt emphasized his arm muscles and made the green of his eyes contrast with the black of the shirt. His hair looked messed up and his jeans were just that, black jeans. His green eyes followed my every movement.
He drove quickly and gave the valet his keys. Yes, there was a valet. He then helped Bex and me out of the car. He handed Bex out quickly, then held on to my hand longer than was necessary, but I didn't object.
We went inside. There were coloured lights flashing in time to the music and TiK ToK by Ke$ha was playing in the background. As soon as we stepped inside Bex saw some of her friends she knew.
"Oh my god! Maya! Christy! I'll be back in a bit!" She yelled over the music.
"Yo, yo, yo! DJ Trev is in the house!" The DJ yelled. The crowd cheered. "Alright, alright." The crowd quieted. "I hope y'all don't mind but I'm gonna slow things down a bit for the couples tonight! Here we go!" The music changed smoothly into For the Nights I Can't Remember by Hedley. Awkward.....
I heard Zach mumble something. "Speak up a bit? The music is really loud!" He looked at me.
"Do you want to dance with me Gallagher Girl?" He held his hand out. I smiled shyly.
"Sure." I took his hand and he pulled me onto the dance floor. I put my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him. I rested me head on his shoulder and I felt him tense than relax and stick his chin on my hand. I saw Bex, her eyes widened then she smiled and mouthed "Finally!" at me. I smiled back.
"What are you so happy about?" Zach asked.
"It's nothing. Bex is funny."
"Oh." He was quite for a bit. As the song reached the lyrics,
I would never let you down.
If I was running back, working in full time
So I can and I will.
And you'll see your hero come running.
Over and over and over tongiht,
And i do wanna love you.
And i do wanna try.
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind.
So hold back your tears this time.
He quoted along with the lines, he didn't sing, he just quoted. I would never let you down & And I do wanna love you, and I do wanna try because if falling for you girl is crazy then I'm going out of my mind. My eyes widened.
"Zach? What are you saying?"
"I don't know Cammie. I never know what I'm saying around me. You make me crazy. I make mistakes when I'm around you because I care about what happens to you. I put you before everything else. I don't know the answer to that question, and you have no idea how much that scares me. Everything is so clear to me usually, but when I'm with you I have no idea what I'm doing or saying. I always know what I'm doing, but not with you. I like spying because it's black and white. But I like being with you more and there are so many gray areas when I'm with you. This has kept me up all night sometimes. The only answer I can come up with is that I'm falling in love with you. And I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm not some mushy guy, but it's true and I'm never anything but honest with you so..." he trailed off. I was frozen in place.
"You-you-you're falling in love with me?" I asked.
"Yup."
"But-"
"Just tell me one thing. Is there any way you would ever feel the same way?"
"God Zach, I think I've been in love with you since you kissed me at the end of the year with the transfering." I felt him freeze.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I beat myself up for months wondering if you thought it was a mistake kissing me since you never got in contact with me."
"Cammie, the biggest mistake of my life was kissing you at the end of that year." The music had stopped a while ago. Zach and I had gone outside and were talking. I stiffened.
"Excuse me?"
"If I had kissed you earlier we would have had more time and we could have come up with something for the summer. Wow, never thought I'd ever have a heart to heart with someone." It was true he looked really awkward, but he looked like he meant what he said.
"So, altogether...?"
"I'm in love with you Gallagher Girl and I'm gonna spend as much time as I can with you for the rest of this break. Grant's here somewhere so Bex should be happy." He smiled.
"I love you too." He closed the distance between us with one step and kissed me.
After a bit, we heard a cough, Bex.
"Sorry to interrupt you lovebirds," Zach and I both blushed, but I noticed he kept his arm around my waist. "but Nick, Ryan, and Tyler are here and they're looking for you. If they're here then so is Dana."
"Time to get lost in the crowd." We all immediately slipped into the many people on the dance floor, fast music was pumping through the amps..
"I see Grant," I said in Zach's ear"Be right back." I let go of his and Bex hands and ran over to where Grant was.
"Cammie? Is that you? You look hot!" Grant came and slung his arm around my shoulder.
"Thanks, but wait til you see Bex!" His eyes widened.
"Bex is here?"
"No duh stupid. Why else would I be in London?"
"Well, I don't know. And you always knew I'm stupid!"
"True." I laughed. "Come on." The guys he'd been standing with watched with hopeful expressions. "I've got a boyfriend." The looked disappointed and then they started looking for other girls to hit on.
"Cammie?" I heard Nick's voice behind me. The song changed to slow again.
"Faster!" I hissed in Grant's ear. We hurried through the crowd. I saw Zach and Bex, they noticed our pace and matched our pace. The song changed to slow. We wormed our way into the middle of the crowd and stopped.
"Grant!' Bex flung herself at Grant. He wrapped his arms around her. They began to dance. So did Zach and I.
"Cammie? Why are you running from us?" I turned to see Nick, Tyler, and Ryan coming up to us. How he knew my actual name, I was going to find out.
"What? I didn't see you! I saw my friend and I knew he'd want to come see his girlfriend so..."
"And she couldn't wait to get back to her boyfriend." Zach said. I smirked.
"Alright, alright. But our mentor Lindsey was looking for you."
"Well we weren't looking for her. Tell her to go home." I shot back.
"Um, rude much?"
"Um, Lindsey stalked us today and chased us. So your mentor is scary, so I think I'll stay away from her. Thanks." Bex said.
"Whatever."
"Look, I'm sorry, just Lindsey scares us a bit, I mean we're not used to being chased!" I laughed. "So, let's moved on alright?"
"We should go Cam." Bex said.
"I'll give you guys a ride." Zach said. We exchanged good byes and hurried into Zach's convertible. I got shot gun this time.
"See you tomorrow." Bex said bye to Grant. "Thanks for the ride Zach."
"Bye Grant." I smiled. "See ya Blackthorne Boy."
"Until tomorrow... Gallagher Girl."
