Disclaimer: I don't own Gallagher Girls. Boo Hoo. :(
AN: To all my readers, I apologize A LOT! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've actually had this document for like a week, but my comp. totally shut down, and I just got it up and running. Unfortunately, this ch. is in 2 parts.
5. Spell out your proposal in alphabet soup.
Zach pulled the curtains aside and stared outside in glee. It had been snowing nonstop for the past few hours. He felt a hand at his shoulder and turned around to see Cammie.
"I get the feeling that winter is your favorite season?" she asked.
He nodded and pulled her closer to him.
"It was always a lot of fun. And some of my fondest memories of my parents are during the winter too," he added, before drifting off into memory land.
He was four years old, and it had been snowing terribly. His sister was home to school, due to bad weather. His sister had scoffed, but didn't complain. After all, who didn't enjoy a day off from school? However, for a four year old Zach, being stuck inside the house was torture. Finally, his mom, taking pity on him, bundled him up and took him and his sister out to play in the snow. Later, his father joined in after he had come home from "work".
"It's one of my favorite memories of my parents," Zach explained to a teary eyed Cammie.
"Aw, Gallagher Girl," he whined. "You know I hate it when you cry!"
"I cry because it's one of the few times you ever share anything about your parents with me!" Cammie sniffled.
"I rarely tell you about my parents because you cry!" Zach said, exasperated.
Cammie gave a watery chuckle and leaned in to kiss him when suddenly, they were interrupted by a sharp knock on the door, followed by a very annoying voice calling out,
"Zach, are you in there?! Open up, it's COLD!"
Zach groaned and pulled away from Cammie.
"Grant," they sighed. Quickly Zach opened the door and pulled Grant in.
As Grant shook the snow out of his hair, he noticed Cammie there and the movie box set up.
"Oh, am I interrupting anything?" he asked. Zach groaned and leaned his head back on the wall.
"Nothing that we can do once you're gone," Zach complained.
"So Grant," Cammie asked curiously. "Why are you here?"
Taking off his coat, Grant muttered something under his breath.
Now Cammie and Zach might have had super spy hearing, but Grant was mumbling under his breath in Farsi, so they had to ask him to repeat.
Grant sighed and began again. "Remember Bex's cousin's birthday party?"
Zach and Cammie nodded. "Oh Grant!" Cammie cried. "What did you do!?"
"Nothing!" Grant said defensively. "I just.... might not has been.... that polite to one of her cousins...." he trailed off.
"Grant," Cammie said in a patronizing tone. "Did you call her a loser like you did at your wedding?"
"Hey! I was drunk!" Grant yelled. Cammie just sighed and shook her head before walking away.
Grant looked at Zach. "So, I was wondering.... if I could bunk here," he said, totally missing Zach's pointed looks that clearly said, Get out, I'm going to propose. Again.
Instead, Zach looked at Cammie, who had just walked back into the room. "I don't mind, if Cammie doesn't mind," he said, silently begging that Cammie would kick Grant out into the snow. But Cammie just shrugged and said, "I don't mind."
And that's how Cammie and Zach's movie night for two became a movie night for three.
They had a James Bond marathon and all through the movies, Grant would throw in comments about what a horrible spy James Bond was, yet his still picked up "chicks", which caused Cammie to glare at him.
Finally, at nine o'clock, Zach got up, and Grant looked at him. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"It's late, I'm going to make some dinner," Zach replied. Cammie looked up from the book she and Zach had been reading together. (They had gotten fed up of Grant's 'commentary' and had begun to read Crime and Punishment.)
"Do you need any help?" she asked Zach.
"No thanks Gallagher Girl," Zach said. "Grant may be able to survive Bex's anger, but no one can survive your cooking!"
He was met with a pillow hitting him in the back of his head.
"Ow! You know Gallagher Girl," Zach said. "One day, you're really going to hurt me, and then you'll be sorry!"
He was met with laughter. Rolling his eyes, Zach set out to make three bowls of alphabet soup. In the first bowl, he spelled out, "Super Awesome Spy." That one was for him of course. In the second bowl, he spelled out his proposal to Cammie. Finally, he looked at the third bowl and thought about what to give Grant. Finally, he wrote, "World's Stupidest Genius."
AN: Part two should be up soon! Please, read and review! And PM me any ideas you may have!
