Chapter 11
"Cammie, you look beautiful."
Cammie looked at herself in her mirror, and smiled at her transformation. Macey had done a great job with her hair; her previously wild mane was back to its tame, wavy form, and glistened in the light. Her makeup was flawlessly beautiful. Macey had gone for a natural look with just some concealer, eyeliner and mascara and with a little bit of blush as Cammie had naturally pink cheeks. Macey had also outdone herself when it came to Cammie's outfit. Macey pulled out her pair of light blue denim shorts with a cute cream loose jumper that was fitted around the arms. The only thing that Cammie wore that was her own was her brown ankle boots; everything belonged to Macey, including the makeup.
Cammie turned round to face Macey beaming, and hugged her best friend tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have done a fantastic job. I actually look presentable!" said Cammie.
"Honey, you look more than damn presentable," responded Macey as Cammie twirled in front of her, "I'm really proud of my creation!" Cammie giggled and sat down on the bed next to Macey. "Is Liz with Bex?" asked Cammie, and the happy mood suddenly dulled. "Yeah," Macey replied, "she says Bex is fine, but just sad, you know? Grant didn't say anything did he?" Cammie shook her head and sighed. "Ah," said Macey fully aware that the mood needed lifting. She turned to Cammie and pulled her face around so that they faced each other. She looked into Cammie's questioning eyes and said clearly, "Do you like Zach?" Cammie laughed hysterically in response and fell back down onto the bed. "What's so funny? It's just a question, I mean; you guys are going out on a date tonight, right? Someone had to ask!" replied Macey defensively as she watched Cammie giggle.
Cammie sat back up, and suppressing a laugh she said, "Oh God, you looked so serious and business-like, I thought you were going to say someone died or something, I'm just laughing in relief Mace, not at you."
"You better not be laughing at me, I just transformed you to beauty from beast!" Cammie pouted but her eyes twinkled with mirth, "in response to your question fairy godmother, yes I like him, but no I don't like like him."
Macey raised her eyebrows and was about to question Cammie's logic when suddenly Grant walked into Cammie's room, nodded his head towards Macey in greeting and said, "Zach's here Cams".
Cammie squealed and hugged Macey then kissed Grant on the cheek and bounded down the steps out of sight. Grant sighed and laughed quietly, "I have never seen Cam so inappropriately excited for a date."
"Yeah, she really likes Zach," Macey replied, "How do you know him so well?"
"Zach and I went to the same summer camp one year, the same year you guys went to Britain with Bex to visit her family. We were great mates back then, and since he's moved here, it's just like old times," explained Grant, "but I'm not sure how I feel about Camster and Zach. There's just something about it that makes me feel uncomfortable."
Macey shrugged, "he's just a guy Grant, I bet you would say that about any guy who tried to date your sister." She walked downstairs but turned round and called "see ya later" as Grant waved his hand and then made his way back to his room.
Cammie opened the front door with Macey at her side, and saw Zach leaning against the wall. He turned round at the sound of the door opening and smiled when he saw Cammie standing there. He walked over to her and said "hey Blondie, you look beautiful." Cammie blushed as Macey jumped up and down behind her with glee, however soon stopped when met with Cammie's death stare, and started to slowly back away out of the drive waving her hand goodbye.
"So…" Cammie drawled, "are we doing anything tonight?"
Zach then smirked and instead of talking, he covered Cammie's eyes, took her hand and pulled her away from the house, Cammie protesting all the way.
"Shush Blondie," said Zach, "you're gonna disturb the neighbors!"
"You are the neighbors!" replied Cammie, but stopped complaining once she felt Zach's cool finger pressed against her lips.
"Shush," he said again, humor evident in his voice.
Cammie knew she was going down the path separating Zach's house from hers that eventually led to the road, but she had no idea why Zach covered her eyes and what they were going to do, but she had a feeling that she was going to be thankful that Macey picked out shorts instead of a dress. They came to a stop at the road, and Zach uncovered her eyes with a flourish. Cammie opened her eyes to find a black motorbike, propped up against the side of the road.
"Baby meet Blondie, Blondie meet Baby," said Zach proudly. He turned his head to look at Cammie and laughed at her horrified gaze.
"I'm not getting on that," Cammie said, shaking her head.
"Yeah, you are," Zach countered.
"You are joking! That's a death trap!" Cammie said loudly, backing slightly away from the motorbike, however Zach's strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest and picked her slightly up. Cammie giggled, she hadn't been picked up in forever, but seeing that Zach was going to sit her on the bike, she tried to push against his muscly arms in order to free herself, but it was all in vain. Zach plopped her on the black seat and steadied her, his grin plastered on his face. Cammie sat on the bike, her arms folded across her chest, pretending to frown, but failing, as she saw the funny side.
"Budge up fatty, you're taking up the whole seat," Zach said quietly as he sat down in front of her, but received a slap on the shoulder in response. He turned round and flashed a smile at Cammie who had a reluctant smile on her face.
"Fine. You got me on this death trap, but go slowly, I wanna come home alive, if that's ok with you," she said humorously and she wrapped her arms round his torso.
"Your wish is my command," Zach said laughing, as he revved the engine and sped down the street, Cammie's frightened yelp followed by her laughter echoing into the night.
