"Zach you are a highly trained operative. Tasked with deciphering codes, planting demolitions, defusing bombs, expert in combat and firearm skills,' Cammie stopped to take a breath. "Trained to work under pressure, rained to process large amounts of information and memorise it and yet you can't do the cup challenge?" Cammie rambled on.
"It's a complicated algorithm Gallagher Girl,' Zach objected has he stared at the upturned cup in front of him. 'It requires a great skill in understanding music."
"It requires only rhythm and hand co-ordination,' Cammie said huffing and pulling the cup towards her. 'Watch again."
Cammie proceeded to show him for the fourth time how the cup song is done, but instead of watching her hands he could only look at her face and beautiful singing voice. Everything about her was beautiful to him. He even stepped a little back to double check her figure. Oh yeah she had the assets he thought to himself.
"Now there." Cammie said and turned towards him sharply only to find his eyes were looking down and now glanced to her chest. If he looked up he'd notice her eyes burning into him and hear her foot tapping. He sat down and tried again only to fail.
"Forget it,' Zach exasperated from trying. "This is just dumb and for what reason do I need to learn this?" He leaned back in his chair, folded his arms and sulked away.
"Aww boo boo,' Cammie pouted at him and rubbed his forearm. She couldn't hide the smile etched on her face though and it annoyed him even more. "Do you want tickles to cheer you up?" Cammie wiggled her fingers at him and he became alarmed.
"You're enjoying this too much Gallagher Girl.' He mumbled. He watched Cammie snicker at him and her eyes filled with mischievousness as her fingers wiggle closer. "Don't Cammie." Zach warned, but Cammie feigned an attack and he collapsed backwards out the chair.
Zach quickly recovered himself, but Cammie was already in fits of laughter. She squeaked out weird noises trying to form a sentence, but her giggles overtook all attempts at speaking.
"You done?" Zach managed to ask after five minutes.
"Yes…yes I am. Ohh." Cammie nodded and composed herself. She lifted the cup and gestured towards him with a smile. "Want to try again there super spy?" She asked.
Zach looked at the stupid cup and slapped it gently out her hand with a swift wave of his hand. Cammie jumped in surprise as the cup clattered across the kitchen floor.
"What was that?" they heard Rachel call out to them from the living room.
"Nothing mum,' Cammie called back and glared daggers at Zach. "Idiot." She joked.
"I didn't hear your mum return from the store." Zach said looking in the direction of the living room.
"She didn't go out Zach." Cammie said and gestured at him with her hand.
"Damn. I really got to pay attention more in class." Zach said aloud to himself.
"Ya think."
"Ok fine,' Zach pulled his chair closer to Cammie and pulled another plastic cup from the deck in front of them. "Let's see if I can do this. Sing the song I'll follow along."
Cammie sang the lyrics and was astonished how he perfected the cup routine this time. Not believing what she had seen they did it two more times with the same result and then it occurred to her what he'd been doing all this time.
"You've been messing with me." Cammie deduced and challenged him.
Zach simply turned towards her and slowly smirked.
A friend requested this to me months ago back when I asked everyone to message me story ideas. I apologise for only getting to it now but here it is and I hope you enjoy it.
