Chapter 10:
I woke up the next morning wrapped in Zach's arms, completely naked.
We had done it last night. It was amazing and perfect. He was gentle and awesome and I knew I would never regret it, even if we broke up eventually. I love him so much and he was the best.
"Morning sleeping beauty." Zach said, kissing my cheek.
"Morning Zach." I whispered.
Zach's eyes searched mine, looking for any signs of regret. I didn't regret it though, and he didn't seem to either.
"We should probably head back to the embassy soon. Everyone will start worrying if we don't come back." Zach said, standing up.
My internal clock said it was 9:42, so I knew he was right.
I sat up too and rubbed the sleep from my eyes while I pulled the covers off of myself.
Wow. All I could say was wow. I mean, I'd seen him shirtless before countless times but I'd never seen him naked until then. Last night was dark so even though I had felt Zach, I'd never realized how completely huge he was.
Wow.
Zach seemed to notice me starring.
"Like what you see?" He asked, smirking.
I blushed and looked down at myself.
When I looked back up, Zach was still smirking, but this time he was the one starring.
"Like what you see?" I asked, confidence filling my voice.
He smirked.
"Actually I do. I love you Gallagher Girl, but your body is defiantly a bonus."
I blushed again. I don't know how he manages it, but he makes me feel sexy, beautiful and self conscious all at once.
"Ugh, I need to shower." I said, snapping back to reality. "And new clothes. I don't want to have to face my friends in the same clothes that I left in yesterday."
"Want some help with the shower?" Zach asked, cockiness filling his voice.
"No." I said, but my resolve was already crumbling.
Zach seemed to see this, but he said, "Okay, I can go see if the hotel has any clothes we can buy. I'd rather not wear these either. Just shout if you want some company." He said, pulling on his old clothes, smirking and walking out the door.
Wow. Zach and I actually did it. I still couldn't believe it. Wait until I tell my roommates.
Oh god.
My roommates.
They were going to flip out. Well, maybe. I think Macey had already lost her virginity so she wouldn't really care, Bex would but she and Grant were actually dating so she would understand that I did it because I love Zach. Then there was Liz. I'm not sure if her delicate ears would be able to hear it.
I quietly laughed to myself as I rinsed the conditioner from my hair and stepped out of the shower.
I dried my hair as I was leaving the bathroom, only in a towel, when Zach came back.
"I got us both new clothes." He said as he walked back in.
He threw the bags on the bed and stripped, quickly putting on his new clothes. He had gotten khaki shorts and a tight white shirt.
He came over and hugged me even though I had taken off my towel and my hair was dripping wet.
"Love you Gallagher Girl."
"Love you too, Zach." I said, while kissing his cheek. "But now I have to get dressed."
Zach stepped away, letting me look at the clothes.
He had gotten me a new bra, which was the right size thankfully, clean underwear, a tight black tank top and shorts. They were short, hunter green, cargo shorts, but they were longer than any pair Macey had brought for me so I was thankful when they fit perfectly.
"Ready?" I asked Zach, throwing my old clothes in the garbage. I couldn't find the underwear though, but I figured the maid would throw them out when she came to clean up.
"Yep." Zach said smirking like he knew something didn't.
Whatever.
I let it slide, and we walked back the embassy hand in hand.
We keyed in the code at the entrance and waved to the guards to buzz us in. We walked up to our rooms in silence, until we got to our separate rooms.
"I better go explain to the girls why we didn't come home last night before Bex kills me." I said.
"Want me to come?" Zach asked looking concerned.
"Nah, its a girl thing." I said, squeezing his hand before pulling way and going into the my room.
As I shut the door I saw Zach going into his.
I tried to shut it as quietly as possible, in case my friends were still asleep.
"Cammie!" Macey shouted.
None of them were sleeping. Instead, there were piles of clothes everywhere and Macey and Bex were doing their make up.
"Hey guys." I said, sounding kinda sheepish.
Just then Liz came bursting into our room shouting.
"Zach's back! Is Cammie here too?" She said looking around for me, until she realized I had gone and sat on my bed.
"Its okay, Liz. I'm right here." I said, hoping that would be a sufficient explanation.
Its not that I didn't want to tell my friends what Zach and I did, its just that I wanted out special moment to stay between us. But it obviously wasn't enough.
"But where were you all night?" Bex asked, sound exasperated.
"With Zach." I mumbled.
But they were all spies. They're trained to hear everything.
"As in with Zach?" Macey asked, the first one to hear what I was implying.
"Mmhmm." I said, trying to suppress a smile.
Bex caught on next. "Oh my gosh, Cammie!" She whisper yelled. "You lost your V-Card!"
Liz finally caught on. "Cammie!"
Well at least they were all excited for me. I wasn't sure how they would react.
"Finally!" Macey said, jumping into the bed beside me.
"What? You thought I would lose it sooner?" I asked, completely shocked.
"Well duh!" Bex said. "You and Zach are completely in love!"
"Oh, and he told me he loved me!" I said. "It was so perfect!"
"Aww Cammie! Thats so awesome!" Liz said sounding extremely happy.
"Wait, you used protection though, right?" Bex said, putting up her hands in the universal symbol for stop.
"Of course! I am technically a genius. I mean, with my mom and aunt as trained spies, do you think Zach would live long if I got pregnant?" I said, rolling my eyes.
Liz let out a sigh of relief, and they all squealed with excitement for Zach and me.
"So how was your night?" I asked them all. "What did you guys buy yesterday?"
That got them off the topic of me and my loss of virginity.
"We bought so many cute outfits!" Macey said, and they spent the next couple hours forcing me into clothes and victoria's secret pjs and push up bras.
Lucky for us, the guys came in while we were in all our new clothes, Macey in shorts and a tank top, Bex was in sexy Victoria's Secret pjs, Liz was in short nightie and I was in short shorts and a push up bra.
"Get out!" Bex shouted, throwing a pillow at Grant, which he easily deflected.
Grant literally started drooling. Jonas and Preston both turned bright red. Zach just smirked.
"Lookin good, Gallagher Girl." Zach said, walking over and sitting on my bed.
I smacked him but snuggled up next to him.
Of course this earned an, 'Awww' from everyone in the room, because I told my girl friends and Zach obviously told the guys, even Preston.
Grant tried to snuggle up to Bex too, but she just shoved him.
"Not all of us want you boys to see everything!" Bex said, indicating to herself and Liz who had covered herself in her blanket.
Macey seemed happy enough for Preston to see her short shorts, and Preston seemed happy enough to stare at her.
We made them leave so we could change for dinner.
By the time we finished dinner, Liz and Jonas decided to take a walk, Grant and Bex decided to play cards in the girls room, Macey and Preston went to 'talk' in Preston's room, and Zach and I went his room to hang out.
We actually did hang out.
"We should check Jonas's video feeds from the Gallagher Academy so that we can see if they know we're gone." I said to Zach.
"Good idea. Wanna know something about Jonas?" Zach asked.
"Of course!" I said, pushing open the door.
"Jonas is going to ask Liz to be his girlfriend while they are on their walk." Zach said.
"No way! Liz is totally in love with him!" I practically screamed while I logged into Jonas's computer and pulled up the video feeds.
Zach came to look over my shoulder and see what was happening.
Most of the hallways were empty, and the dining hall was filled with girls. Most of the girls at the Senior table were quiet and kept glancing around the table, probably looking for us, and at the faculty table, where my mom and aunt Abby were missing.
I glanced at the video screen of my moms office and magnified it. My mom, Aunt Abby, Mr. Solomon and Mr. and Mrs. Baxter were all in her office.
"Can you turn on the volume?" Zach asked.
I pressed a few keys and turned it on.
"It's just like last summer." Aunt Abby said, sound extremely tired.
"You need lunch, Abby. Why don't you go get some food from the dining hall?" Mr. Solomon said, rubbing her back.
"How can I get food when my niece, her 3 best friends, her boy friend and her 2 other friends are missing?" Aunt Abby snapped.
"I'm trying to track Macey's credit card records now, but it seems that she's been taking out 5 thousand dollars for the past three months and putting it into an untraceable off shore account." Mr. Baxter said, checking his computer.
"Did you check the private jet records?" Mrs. Baxter asked him.
Zach and I frowned at each other, but Mr. Baxter just said, "I've tried. It seems the McHenry's own the plane, so they don't keep a record. I've also tried to hack into any trackers they might have accidentally taken with them, but they didn't bring any."
"They're good. We trained them to be this good. They've been planning this for a while and they won't be found unless they want to be." My mom said, leaning back against in her chair.
"So all we can do is wait?" Aunt Abby asked.
"Well, of course we need to contact the trustee's and we can call the graduate phone tree to have them keep an eye out for the kids, but we can't do much else." My mom said.
My mom and Abby went to go get lunch for everyone, so I turned off the video.
"We need to tell everyone."
I'm taking suggestions for the next chapter! Do you guys want me to skip straight to the party? Or do a filler chapter of all the kids hanging out or like a Zammie Chapter? I'm open to what you guys want!
