Chapter 6: Roseville

The rest of the week I managed to stay clear of Zach. We talked every once in a while, but that was it.

On Saturday morning, my mom announced to everyone that we would be allowed to visit Roseville that day. Liz and I decided to go together, but Bex and Macey said they wanted to stay and keep the guys company. So after we finished our breakfast, Liz and I went to Roseville. We stopped at a few clothes stores, and I got two shirts, a pair of shorts and a skirt. After that we decided to go eat at the diner Josh and I had gone to last year.

"Oops! I forgot my purse at the diner," Liz said after we were about half way back to Gallagher.

"Do you want me to come with you to get it?" I asked.

"No. you can go back to Gallagher. I have a comms unit, so I'll be fine."

"Alright," and then I turned to go back to school.

After a while of walking, I thought I sensed someone behind me. I quickly turned around, but no one was there. Maybe I was just paranoid… About a minute later, I thought I felt someone again. This time I turned around and jumped at my tail. We fell to the ground, and I noticed that I was on top of none other than…Zach.

"Jeeze! What are you doing here? I thought you stayed back with Bex, Macey, Grant, and Jonas."

"Well, I did, but then Bex and Macey told me some things…" he said. Oh no, what did they tell him?

"Ummm…what things did they say?" I asked, trying to sound like it didn't matter.

"Well, they played me a tape of you saying that you liked me. And they told me why you started crying. Cam, why didn't you tell me?" he pleaded. I just leaded against a wall and started sliding down.

"Oh no! I should have known they were gonna do this!" I said, ignoring his question and hiding my face in my hands. They are soooooo dead…..

He sat down by me and said, "It's okay Cammie. But I still don't get why you didn't tell me. I could have helped. Never be afraid to tell me how you feel." I was very afraid to tell him how I felt…Again those questions bubbled at my tongue. Did he like me? Could we ever be in a relationship? How would we be able to contact each other? "And I would never break your heart," he vowed. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

"You already know why I didn't tell you. And apparently you know how I feel now." I started blushing a little. "And how could you be sure that you would never break me?"

"Well, it wasn't a good reason to not tell me. And please don't be upset. I'm not mad at you or anything. Kind of shocked actually. I would have to break myself if I broke you." Then he wrapped his arms around me and said, "So, Gallagher Girl has wanted to see me all summer. And you like the way I look when I smirk. Hmmmm…I'm starting to think Gallagher Girl has a little bit of an umm...I don't know…CRUSH on me!" he shouted playfully.

"I…it's…well…you…" I stuttered, blushing a lot.

He laughed and said, "It's okay Gallagher Girl. You don't have to be nervous. Your roommates already told me. I was kinda hopping that YOU would be the first one to tell me though. And I told you that you can tell me how you feel. Besides, I like you too. I thought you would have figured that out by the second kiss. And by the way, your blush is cute." That had me blush even MORE. He leaned in and kissed me for the third time. I could have stayed like that forever. But eventually, he had to pull away, which was kind of hard since I was clinging to his shirt. Oops.

"Well, it seems like this may be a little difficult, seeing as you don't want to let go of me," he said, flashing me his cocky grin. I loved that.

"Sorry," I said.

"It's okay. We should get back to school though before people start looking for us." And then he picked me up and started walking.

"Ummm…I can walk you know."

"I know," was all he replied.

"Can you put me down?" I asked. It would kind of be awkward walking into Gallagher like this…

"No," he said, and just smirked. And he carried me for the rest of the way back to Gallagher.

"Eeeeek!" my three roommates screeched as they saw Zach carrying me through the front doors to Gallagher. It looked like everyone else was still at Roseville. I watched as Bex, Macey and Liz hopped down the stairs toward Zach and me. He still hadn't put me down yet…I started blushing.

"Well, it looks like Prince Charming swept you off you feet. Now the question is, can you ever put her down, or do I have to forcefully remove her from you?" Macey asked threateningly.

"I'm thinking I should put you down Gallagher Girl," he leaned in closer so only I could hear him say, "Besides, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm about to do if I was hurt." He turned us away from our friends for a minute, and kissed me again. He was SUCH a good kisser. Jeeze! After a while, someone cleared their throat, and Zach just frowned against my lips.

"Thanks, Prince Charming," I whispered, and we both chuckled. He set me on my feet and I turned to see my three friends had big smiles on their faces.

"Okay, so where are we going to go so I can tell you all of the details about what happened and hear you guys say 'I told you so'?" I asked. I was sure I could hear Zach smile behind me.

"Just follow us," Liz said mischievously. I started walking with them, but I felt arms around me.

"Will I see you again tonight?" he whispered in my ear. I started trembling from feeling his breath on my neck. I knew he could feel my trembling because I could feel his silent laughter. "Am I making you nervous Gallagher Girl? You should learn to control your actions better, because they just give you away."

I ignored his last statement because I really didn't feel like responding to it and said, "Of course you'll see me tonight. We still have stuff to talk about."

"See you later then." He kissed me swiftly on the cheek, pulled his arms away, and walked off somewhere. Ahhhh…Zach…
