The storm raged on, but Zach and I were pretty oblivious.
"So, Gallagher girl what are your deep dark secrets?" he asked with a smile. I smiled back.
"Don't really have any. And you?" I asked him. He looked at me and I could see there was something he was keeping from me. His expression was guarded. He opened his mouth to say something but then quickly closed it. I kissed him. When we broke apart he was on top of me.
"It's okay you can tell me." I told him, not sure what he had to say but wanting to know.
"Well, you see Cammie. I used to have nothing else to lose, that was a good thing me being a spy and all. Then you come along and I have something to lose again. I can't lose you Cammie." he said his eyes filling with unshed tears that would stay unshed.
"Why didn't you have anything else to lose?" I asked him, afraid I knew the answer. I had my mom and friends to lose. Now I have my dad and Zach to lose. I always had someone to lose.
"My parents were lost, or killed or something. I don't know what. But I didn't have any siblings. I was already going to Blackthorne. So my uncle took me in. I had nothing to lose." he said looking at me his expression grim.
"What about your friends, or your uncle?" I asked him tears filling my own eyes.
"I didn't consider them, I never would have if I hadn't met you. My parents went on a mission and never came back, same as your dad." he said not looking directly at me.
"Somebody knows." I whispered the same words he had said to me before. It was as if our roles were reversed. He nodded before kissing me. He trailed kisses down my throat and I felt his hand slip up my shirt. I gasped. It wasn't like the time we were using it as cover last year. It was different, I knew it and I was pretty sure he knew it.
I thought back to when Grams had found the condom packet, she was really angry. I didn't want to see that again and if we did…it, more anger and disappointment. I felt his hand on my bare back. His hand was warm. I didn't want this to happen yet. If at all possible it had to wait till after high school. And definitely not under my grandparents' roof. Zach's mouth had found mine again. I saw him look me in the eyes. I felt warmth.
"Do you want to?" he asked me and I knew what he was talking about.
"Not now, I mean I love you a lot but…it's just I don't want to disappoint my grandparents, my mom and dad. That would…I don't know. I do know that now is not the time or the place." I told him hoping he'd understand. He nodded. Then he kissed me again. It was a deep passionate kiss. Josh and I had never had this. First I could never be really honest with him second he's not Zach and third there wasn't much passion with Josh.
In good romance there has to be passion. I don't know where I heard that but when I did I knew it had to be true. In fact I was sure of it. Then we turned on our sides and watched the storm go on. It thundered and lightning struck, every time he would hug me tighter. I drifted to sleep sometime.
When I woke up I was in Zach's warm embrace and Grams was leaning over us with a smile. I turned my head a bit and saw that Zach was asleep, which I found hard to believe. I saw his eye come open just a tad, then a smile spread across his face.
"You two sleep alright?" Grams asked one hand on her hip. I nodded and got up. I stretched my arms out and yawned. My neck was a little sore though.
"Did the storm wake you two last night? Is that why you came out here?" she asked a curious look on her face. A sheepish look came across my face.
"Yes, it did. I was out here watching the storm when Cam came out. We talked for a while then fell asleep watching the storm." Zach told Grams. It was the truth more or less just not exactly the whole truth.
"Hmm." she said eying us suspiciously. "Well come along for breakfast now. Eggs and bacon." Zach got off the couch trying to cover up that he was rushing towards the kitchen. I snickered. He playfully smacked me on the arm.
"They do say growing boys need food. I'll bet you're an endless pit when it comes to food." I said running past him, barely dodging the next attack he was planning. I ran into the living room. He was following me with a grin that said 'I'm coming.' That's when he playfully tackled me into the couch. I shrieked then was laughing. He was on top… again. Then he leaned down and kissed me.
"Kids no kissing on the couch." I heard Gramps call from in the kitchen. Zach pulled away and grinned at me. Then he pulled me off the couch and we walked into the kitchen. We ate. I couldn't help but notice how he shoveled down the food. Macey came out of the room.
"Who can eat in the morning?" she asked and I knew for a fact she could. She ate breakfast at school, that was because of the hard work that we did. She looked up at me and winked. I wondered if she was using a cover, like snobby little rich girl cover. I saw Gramps roll his eyes at Macey. Zach sniggered a bit then I kicked him from under the table. He stopped laughing abruptly and glared at me. It didn't stay very long because he couldn't suppress his smile.
We ate breakfast while Macey sat on the couch. When we finished and got up. We took a walk outside. We didn't say anything, we just walked hand in hand. We would be going back to school soon and I was going to spend another year with Zach. Maybe not during the summer but during the school year. I couldn't wait. He might get sick of me though. I knew I would never, could never get sick of him. Maybe the know-it-all attitude but I knew that as long as we were in love that's all we would need.
A/N: It's over! No! Lol. Well that was the last chapter. To answer a question yes there will be another story connected to this "series" that I've created. It won't have to do with 3rd real gallagher girl book. It will be like that book never happened. I do plan on doing a different "series" with the third book having actually happened. I don't know when it will happen, but it will! Sorry it took me so long to update but I need a break. It's summer cut me some slack. Lol.
