WOW!!! Thanks so much for all of your reviews!!!! I'm so happy that a lot of people liked the prank (I kinda stole a bit of it from movies I watched before I wrote it;)) I was worried that I was gonna epically fail...I'm lucky I have such great readers!!! I'm going away for a week on Friday (August 14th) so I decided that I would update before then!! And by the way...I went back and took out when Liz found a conversation recorded on Jonas's computer. I changed how I wanted the story to go. I also tried to make this chapter extra long!! I hope it worked...thanks!!! :D :D
p.s nothing new about this chapter I messed up the #'s for the chapters so I had to replace it so I could fix it. If you haven't read this yet, it still counts as chapter 9!!!
Chapter 9
Zach POV
Cammie and I were on the roof of Gallagher Academy. We were lying down on a blanket we had brought up while watching the sunset. I had my arm wrapped around her waist and she had her head on my chest. She sighed and looked up at me.
"This has got to be one of the best ideas you've ever had." She smiled, which made me smile back.
"Thank you." I leaned down and brushed my lips against hers. I brought my head back and looked into her eyes. Here I go...it's now or never.
"Cammie..." I whispered and rolled over so that I could see her better (A/N: hint hint this is what he was dreaming when he whispered "Cammie" in the last chapter) "I love you." Her eyes opened in shock and then she smiled, one of my most favourite sights in the world. She reached up and put one of her hands on my face.
"If you don't get up right this instance I'm going to kick your butt to Canada." I looked at her in shock and then got a face-full of pillow.
"I'm up, I'm up!!!!" I looked up to see Grant holding the pillow above his head as if he didn't believe me. Then I burst out laughing. He looked hilarious. He had a whole bunch of makeup on which made him look like a rag doll and was covered in feathers. He looked at me in annoyance.
"You don't look any better." I looked at him in surprise and then looked down. I too was covered in feathers and could only make a guess at my face. I looked down again inspecting closer. I had lipstick all over my abs.
"I'm loving your new look! Love Cammie" Great! I though sarcastically. Just then Jonathan came over. Macey had obviously done his makeup because it was perfect. And I mean perfect. He was going to have a harder time getting it off than we were. Ha! That sucks for him. He rolled his eyes at me.
"Our girlfriends are the best!" he said sarcastically. "This is everything I could've wanted!!" I smirked and looked around for Jonas. He was sitting on his bed typing away on his laptop, trying to hack into Liz's computer. I snorted; that was not going to happen. I looked around at my friends. They were clearly fuming. I wasn't really that mad. It was kind of funny and the girls did a good job. That's not saying that they weren't going to pay, because they most definitely were. But, in spite of my friends glaring at me, I started laughing. Soon, Grant, Jonas and Jonathan joined in.
"I'm going to go take a shower," said Grant "after that, we are going to go have a little talk with the girls" I could only imagine what the girls were doing at this moment. They were probably sleeping. As I waited for my turn to get into the shower I looked around the room and spotted the video camera. I smiled; so they were watching us were they? I decided not to tell my friends and surprise Cammie. I loved pulling my classic 'spy' answer; the look on her face was priceless.
After we all showered, we burst into their room- Grant picked the lock- only to find them rolling on the floor laughing. I smirked; I was the only one who understood.
"What are you laughing at?" Jonathan asked, confused.
"They're laughing at our reaction to the prank." I smirked as Cammie looked at me with her 'don't even think about it' face while every other girl looked at me in surprise. Of course, I pointed to myself "Spy." Cammie rolled her eyes but smiled. I couldn't help thinking about my dream. Her smile was one of my most favourite sights in the world.
"You girls are going to go down. I hope you thought about that when you started this." said Grant.
"Yeah, we did. But there is nothing that you can do that will beat what we did to you." Bex said smugly.
"Sure, sure." Grant rolled his eyes while Jonas looked around meekly.
"How do we get this stuff off of our faces?" He asked. All of the girls burst out laughing again.
"You...can't..." Macey managed to get out. Cammie got over her laughter and looked at me. I could almost feel the helpless expression on my face. She smirked. "It's waterproof." Jonas gasped.
"You mean we have to walk around all day like this???"
"Yep, pretty much." Liz smiled. "Oh, and if you want to get onto my computer, you're going to have to try a lot harder." Jonas gaped for a second and then composed himself.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to get ready for the day." Macey said pushing us out and shutting the door.
"Good job Liz!" I heard Cammie exclaim from just inside the door. I grumbled; there was no way we were going to get this off our face. We walked back to our bedroom. As soon as we got in the door, I was bombarded with questions.
"How come you didn't tell us that they had a camera?" "How the hell are we going to get this stupid stuff off our faces?" "We need to start planning our revenge right now." "What are we going to do to them?" "Where is that camera?" "I can't believe that Liz said that!"
"Whoa. Calm down guys!" I said smirking. "I didn't tell you about the camera because I didn't know until the last second." Lie, but they won't know that. "And, I am going to go and try to scrub off some of this makeup. I don't care if it's waterproof, some of it has to come off. Before I do that, I'm going to get changed." I turned around and went to my suit case. I opened it up and almost gasped. I'm a spy remember. I'm not supposed to gasp. All of my clothes had been dyed PINK. And when I say all, I mean ALL! I turned around and discovered that it had happened to all of the other guys too. Except I was lucky; Cammie had left me a pair of shorts and a sweater that had designs on them instead. My friends were going to have to wear all pink stuff. After we changed into our newly pink clothes, we all went into the bathroom. I started scrubbing my face immediately but none of it was coming off!!! I was getting increasingly frustrated so I was happy when I heard a knock on the door; maybe it was the girls coming to say that they were extremely sorry and they would be our slaves for a week. Who am I kidding, they would never do that. They're spies. I opened the door, only there was no one there, only a small blue and white package and a note.
"I felt a little bad when I saw your helpless expression, so I decided to help you out a bit. I hope you realize that Bex, Liz, and Macey are going to kick my butt once they realize that I'm doing this. Oh well, hope you use the makeup remover well.
XO
Cammie"
That was nice. I don't have as big of a reason to prank her back now....maybe I'll go easy. Maybe. I went back into my room and showed the rest of the guys.
"Whoa, she's right; they ARE going to kick her butt." Jonathan grinned. I just rolled my eyes and went back into the bathroom.
About 10 minutes, and some 40 cotton pads later we were finally done. I had just collapsed on my bed when the girls burst into our room. Bex and Liz were screaming, Cammie was grinning, and Macey was just smiling.
"What??" Jonas asked impatiently.
"WE'RE GOING TO ROME!" Bex screamed. Grant smiled and went and hugged her. I turned to Cammie and smiled. She winked and smiled back.
"Hey baby." She smiled at me. "I missed you." That's when I saw the ring on her finger.
Cammie POV
Macey, Bex and Liz let it slide that I gave the guys makeup remover after we found out that we were going to Rome. I didn't tell them that I gave the remover to them because Zach whispered my name in his sleep which made me feel bad. I told them that it was because Zach's helpless face made me feel a bit guilty and justified it with the fact that they didn't have any clothes. I think that they suspected the real reason but who knows? We got the package from Mr. Solomon and decided to read through it before we went to go tell the guys.
I found out that my name was Maddison Craig and I was married to Ethan Craig which I assumed to be Zach. I was a little nervous about that, I mean, we weren't that serious. But at least it was only a cover, right? Bex and Grant were married as well and named Hannah and Andrew Kerr. Macey and Liz (Kaira Pennant and Daisy Newbury) (A/N: Kaira pronounced K-I-RA) weren't married but were very serious with their boyfriends: Tom Richards and Dan Foss (Jonathan and Jonas). We all grew up together in Canada and are going to Rome for an end-of-summer vacation. Inside the folder were two rings, I assumed for Bex and I. It was clear whose was whose. Bex's was gold with little diamonds all along the top rim, with 3 bigger diamonds in the center. Mine was a simple white gold band with one large diamond in the center with 2 smaller diamonds beside it. I liked my ring and it fit perfectly but it felt a little weird wearing it. I blushed just thinking about being married to Zach. Instead of thinking about it, I looked through the rest of the folder. I discovered that Zach-Ethan- was rich and I liked shopping with him. We weren't snobs but normal people. We didn't flaunt our wealth, instead just tried to blend in. I liked skating and swimming and I was social and nice. That sounded like an easy person to be minus liking shopping.
"Let's go tell the guys!!" Bex squealed and ran out of the room with Liz right behind her. I grinned and walked out of the room with Macey right behind me.
"They'll get over it soon right?" I asked.
"Yep, don't worry."
Bex picked the lock; she was too impatient to wait for the guys to show up to the door and burst in screaming. I grinned.
"What??" asked Jonas obviously impatient.
Bex went right up to him and screamed "WE'RE GOING TO ROME!!!!" Grant walked over to her and hugged her. I looked over to Zach and caught him smiling at me. I smiled back and winked.
"Hey baby." I said walking over to him "I missed you." I think he noticed the ring. He gaped looked in shock for a second and then smiled.
"I missed you too." I handed him the folder and waited while he looked through it, memorizing. He looked up at me and smirked.
"So we're married huh?"
"Yep." Wow, this was awkward
"How are you today Maddison?"
"Great, thank you, yourself?" I smirked and looked down at his clothes.
"Fantastic, now that I have a wife." He smirked while I blushed. Suddenly he pulled me into his arms and kissed me. It was gentle and sweet. I pulled back but remained in his arms.
"Sweetie?" I murmured against his chest, revelling in his warmth.
"Hmm?"
"What time do we leave for Rome?" I asked innocently but internally scoffed; like I didn't know that already.
"In 5 hours. We have to be at the airport 3 hours in advance." Suddenly I was being pulled backward by some unknown source. I grabbed their hand and pulled the person over my head. Macey landed on the floor.
"Next time could you refrain from doing that?" She asked. I shrugged; what if it's a real attacker?
"I'll try."
"We have to go pack, we only have two hours." I groaned; only, she said only two hours. She grabbed my hand and started dragging me out of the room. But before I could leave Zach kissed the top of my head and whispered "Don't worry, I'll see you soon."
***4 HOURS LATER***
We had arrived at the airport 2 hours ago and gotten through security, now we were waiting to board the plane. Grant, Bex, Zach and I were playing cards. Bex and Grant were a team and Zach and I were a team. We were playing Crazy 8's, one of my favourite games. It didn't take Zach and I long to beat them. I always won against Bex; she never used any strategy. We played Crazy 8 Count Down after that and Zach and I still won.
"You're cheating!!" whined Grant.
"Are not!" I exclaimed.
"Are too!!" he yelled back.
"Just because we use strategy does not mean that we are cheating!!!" I said exasperated. Bex smacked him on the back of the head and whispered something into his ear. Just then an announcement came on saying that all people flying first class to Rome on flight E70 could board now. We all got out of our seats and boarded the plane. It was most definitely nice having a rich husband. Zach got the window seat which meant that I was in the middle. I didn't mind that much. I used Zach as my personal pillow and was soon asleep.
"Gallagher girl, come on. Wake up!" Zach said quietly while shaking me gently. "We're here." I shook my head to get rid of some of the grogginess and got up. I realized that the rest of the plane was basically empty. Zach and I got off hand in hand and went straight to our friends. We somehow managed to fit all of our luggage onto carts and went outside. I looked around, where was the limo? A few minutes later a couple Italian sports cars pulled up along with a minivan and an SUV. The boys grinned when they realized that they got to drive the Italian cars. I laughed; leave it to boys to be excited about the cars and not really care where we are. We handed our luggage to the men who got out of the SUV and minivan. The original drivers got out of the sports cars and handed each of the guys a piece of paper with instructions of how to get to where we were staying. I climbed into the front of a red Ferrari and Zach took off.
"You are having way too much fun with this." I said jokingly to Zach. He just grinned in response. It didn't take us very long to get where we were staying which, judging by the look on Zach's face, wasn't long enough. I smiled; boys. I looked around and realized that we were staying in a building right in front of the pantheon!!! I grinned.
"You're
having way too much fun with this." Zach smirked quoting me. I
rolled my eyes and grabbed my luggage from the trunk. We walked up to
the door and walked inside. The outside might not have been very nice
but the inside sure was. There was marble everywhere! We checked in
and discovered that we were staying in an apartment. I was a little
shocked but shook it off and went to the elevators; apparently we
were the first people there. I figured that everyone else would
arrive just a little after us. Zach and I stepped out of the elevator
and looked around. There was only one door and it was right in front
of the elevator, there wasn't even a hallway. That only meant one
thing; WE HAD A WHOLE ENTIRE FLOOR!!!!!!!! I opened the door the old
fashioned way (with a key) and walked inside. It was beautiful. It
was all white marble and dark brown wood. There was a living room
right in front of us that had windows that looked out onto the square
in front of the Pantheon. An 'L' shaped white leather couch was
situated on a rug facing the left wall. On the wall there was a huge
plasma T.V. There was a dark brown coffee table in front of it. In
the left corner closest to the door there was a small closet right
beside that there was a door, leading to a bedroom, I think. Halfway
down the left wall, 10 feet before the T.V there was another door.
The doors on the right wall copied the ones on the left. I figured
the bedrooms had to be pretty big; they took up most of the floor.
Zach walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"This
place is nice." I turned around.
"It's better than nice. It's perfect!!" He smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Perfect for what?" I groaned and pushed him away.
"Zach!"
"Hey! You were the one that took it that way." I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm going to go start unpacking." Just then the others walked in the door and gasped.
"This is beautiful!!" Bex cried.
"It's perfect!!!" exclaimed Liz. I looked at Zach pointedly. HA! I thought to myself. We decided that Bex and Liz would share a room and Macey and I would share the other. We went to the first door on the left and immediately dropped our bags. In front of us was a huge white king sized bed decked out in brown and white pillows. I sighed; it looked like heaven. Macey shook me.
"Sleep later, unpack now." She led me into a gigantic closet and I started to unpack my things. Since I packed lighter than her, I was done earlier. I walked out of the closet and back into our room. It was beautiful. We had windows that faced onto a side street where there was a cafe and people riding bikes. I sighed again; Italy was amazing. I went down a random hallway that branched off of our room and found myself in a luxurious bathroom. It was all brown and white (of course). It had a shower plus a huge jet bathtub, it also had 2 sinks, a 3 way mirror and a makeup mirror; Macey would be happy. I walked back down the hallway and into our bedroom. I went out of our bedroom and into the living room. I had wanted to go look out the windows but got a little distracted; Zach was sitting by a window looking thoughtful. Huh. That's weird; I've never seen Zach look thoughtful. I walked up and sat beside him.
"Hey."
****ZACH POV****
I didn't feel like unpacking so I just dumped my bag on the bed and walked back into the living room. I figured no one else would be out here for a while since they were all busy unpacking. I sat by the window and just stared off into space. I started thinking about the dream that I had the past night. It felt so real when I was having it. It felt almost right to tell Cammie that I loved her. Do I love her? I thought about it for a while. Yeah, I guess I do. My subconscious knew before I did and decided to tell me. That's really weird. But, I guess my subconscious was right. Cammie is an amazing girl, not to mention hot and one of the best spies. I was thinking about her when the door to her room opened. Think of the angel and the angel shall appear I thought to myself. She walked up and sat beside me.
"Hey"
"I see you managed to escape from Macey" I said. She rolled her eyes.
"That girl packs too much; she'll be in there for at least another 10 minutes." I looked at her with a questioning look. She shrugged.
"She's also really fast at unpacking."
"Oh. By the way, I never got to thank you for leaving the makeup remover. But I can't say that I'm too happy about the clothes."
"Yeah. You don't really have any clothes to wear do you? Well, that doesn't fit in very well with your legend. But I know what does." She smiled suggestively.
I lifted an eyebrow "What?"
"Shopping. We can grab you new clothes while seeing Rome. I have a feeling we're not going to get another chance." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door, down to the lobby and out of the building.
We walked around Rome for the next couple hours. Stopping to see things like the coliseum and the Vatican City all the while shopping for new clothes. It was easy to see that Cammie fit well into this legend. She made me go into high end stores claiming that Macey would be upset if we didn't and that I didn't want to see Macey upset over clothes. I made sure that Cammie bought something for herself-a reminder I guess. It was around 7 P.M. when we started walking back to the apartment. Cammie was walking just a bit ahead of me. She turned around and smiled at me, laughing. I love this girl; I just need to find the perfect moment to tell her.
