Chapter 15
"I've had a really goodtime Zach but I'd better go and face Mum and ask about dinner tonight, alright with you?" I ask. Zach smirks nodding as he gives me a quick kiss and walks me to the door. Ella is there leaning against the door. "You weren't even going to say goodbye to me? Disappointed Cammie bear" Ella says. I smile wrapping my arms around Ella. "Bye Elle Elle" I say as Ella smiles pulling away from me and grabs hold of both my hands as we swing them gently.
"You and me need to go out sometime just us girls, alright?" Ella asks.
"Definitely, we can do some shopping I'm running out of clothes, and I'm hoping you still have your good taste" I say giving her a light shove. Ella laughs twirling around and posing.
"Tell me I don't have good style, I mean look at me?" Ella says. I laugh.
"You're just as cocky as Zach here" I say putting an arm around Zach. Ella laughs.
"Not nearly, I'll see you later though, text me whenever" Ella says letting us through the door.
I nod patting her shoulder as Zach and I walk past. Zach closes the door behind him and looks at me with his green eyes as he puts his hands on my waist and pulls me closer as we lock lips. I put my hands in Zach's hair and feel how soft his hair is and how amazing his hair smelt, it was amazing!
Zach moves his hands and puts them on my legs rising up as he reaches the bottom of my shorts and stops. I move my hand up Zach's shirt feeling Zach's six pack which was amazing! I feel Zach put his tongue down my throat which I allow as he explores it. I hear a cough from behind me and turn around to see Ella. "Do you have to make out in broad daylight? I mean come on? I don't want our neighbours to think-" Ella mumbles. Zach turns around and smirks at his sister.
"Relax. No one's around, we'll do it in private if it means so much to you" Zach says. Ella nods turning around and opening the door. "Just hurry up and drop Cammie home, I'm not doing the dishes by myself" Ella says playing around with her hair. Zach sighs putting a hand through his hair in frustration as I grab his hand. "I'll be back soon Ella" Zach says as we head off to my place.
"Cammie, I want to tell you something" Zach says as we stand in front of my house. I nod. "Cammie, I just want you to know that I'm no Josh and I won't hurt you like he did so you can trust me you know? You can let me in Cammie, I'm not going to leave" Zach says squeezing both of my hands. "I know Zach I know, I'm trying, but it's hard Zach because well I'm damaged Zach and I'm still trying to cope with that" I say putting a hand through my hair as Zach puts a hand on my cheek.
"Well you know I'm here to help Cammie, if you want to talk about it" Zach says pulling his arm around me. I smile. "Why do you have to be so serious now? Where's the fun Zach?" I ask playing around. Zach smirks picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.
"Zach! This wasn't my idea fun!" I yell as I try to squirm out of Zach's grip. I eventually manage to get out of Zach's grip and fall to the ground on my stomach. I see Zach's face go all serious as he turns around and looks at me. "Are you okay Cammie?" Zach asks worryingly. I sit up as my back cracks.
"Ow" I say putting my hand on my back.
"Can you give me a hand up Zach?" I ask as Zach gives me his hand as I pull him down with me and he lands on top of me. Zach smirks as he starts tickling me. "Zach!" I squeal bursting into hysterics as I begin tickling Zach and he starts to laugh we both roll over so I was on top and I start tickling Zach again as Zach suddenly stops.
"Cammie did I ever tell you you're beautiful?" Zach asks, I shake my head.
"People usually use a different word to be honest" I say putting a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Well you're beautiful" Zach says kissing my forehead.
"I'll see you later alright? Text me whats happening" Zach says as I nod heading inside giving Zach a shy wave. I open the door and see mum sitting down on one of the stools in the kitchen. She turns her head and faces me. "I see that you went to Zach's place" Mum says. I nod.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about last night mum, I shouldn't have cracked it" I say yawning. Mum smiles walking over and gives me a hug. "It's alright Cam, I'm sorry too" Mum whispers in my ear, I pull away and smile warmly. "Mum I know you don't like Zach much, but I was thinking he could come over tonight and you can get to know him better?" I ask. Mum nods smiling warmly as she grabs her notepad. "That'll be fine, Ben's coming over for dinner as well, I assume Zach knows Ben?" Mum asks. "Yeah they're pretty good together, but why is Ben coming over for dinner?" I ask. Mum sighs running a hand through her hair. "Well he came over when you were off at Zach's" Mum says. I nod.
"Also Mum guess what?" I say basically jumping up and down in the air, Mum laughs.
"What is it sweetie?" she asks.
"Ella Goode is Zach's sister!" I squeal. Mum smiles warmly.
"Well isn't that great! Did you get time to catch up?" Mum asks as I shrug.
"Not really, we're going to go shopping sometime, and that reminds me, I have to find something to wear tonight" I say grabbing my purse off the kitchen bench.
"Okay, I'll see you at dinner" Mum says kissing my forehead as I text Macey wondering if she wanted to shop with me. She instantly replies yes as I walk to Macey's place and see her standing outside her place, she sees me and smiles. "What's the occasion for buying a new dress?" Macey asks.
"Dinner tonight with Ben and Zach" I say casually as Macey smiles.
"Hm, sounds fun, lets hit the shops" Macey says as we walk to the mall and head inside a shop and look at dresses, I point out one to Macey which was a purple lace. Macey smiles agreeing.
"Amazing! And these shoes would go so well with it!" Macey says passing me some shoes as we head to the counter and buy them. Macey holds the bag and pulls me into a lingerie shop.
"What are we doing in here?" I ask slightly angry that she brought me in here.
"Well seeing as you and Zach are heating up I thought you could you know, get it on tonight?" Macey asks twirling a strand of hair around her finger. I sigh loudly.
"No Macey, I'm nowhere near ready for that can we just go" I say rubbing my forehead. Macey looks at me and smiles sadly "Cammie, I'm sorry-"Macey says as I put a finger to her mouth.
"its fine, I better get ready" I say looking at my watch and seeing that its 5:30.
"Far out! I haven't even texted Zach!" I say quickly grabbing out my phone and texting Zach.
Dinner's on, come by at 7. Ben's coming also though :/
Dress nicely please :) Love you xoxo
I press send as Macey looks at the message and smiles. "One word Cammie, cute" Macey says.
I smile nervously. "Thanks Mace" I say putting an arm around her.
"I love you girl" Macey says pulling me closer.
"LESBIANS! GET A ROOM!" a guy yells walking past, Macey and I pull away and burst out laughing.
"We're straight thanks man!" We yell as he turns around as our faces go serious.
"Well that's better, may I say you both look rather sexy" the man says walking over to us, we both blush lightly as this guy was hot.
"Why thank you, you don't look too bad yourself" Macey says moving closer to the guy.
"You never told me your names" the man says a smirk on his face.
"That's because we didn't give them to you" I say a smirk on my face, Zach would've been proud.
"Hm, you're feisty, I like that" The man says moving him hand up my leg, I stop him and sigh.
"We aren't interested, thanks jerk!" I say as Macey and I both run off laughing.
We continue running off to Macey's place and fall onto the lawn laughing.
"That. Was. Hilarious!" Macey says putting her arms around me, I laugh pulling away.
"I'd better head off and get ready, I'll see you later okay?" I ask as Macey nods as I walk myself home and already see Ben's car in the driveway, I sigh and head inside as Ben greets me.
"Hey Cammie!" Ben says giving me a hug, I wrap my arms around his neck as Ben pulls away.
"Is that what you're wearing tonight?" Ben asks pointing to the bag. I nod shyly.
"Can I go get ready and I'll see you in ten?" I ask.
"You're only going to take ten minutes?" Ben asks a huge smile planted on his face. I let out a laugh.
"Okay maybe you're right, how about twenty?" I ask. Ben nods.
"See you soon" Ben says giving me a kiss on the cheek as I head to my room, I get changed and put on some light make-up. I hear the doorbell go and check myself in the mirror. I put up my hair in a waterfall braid. I smile and head back to the kitchen as Mum answers the door and Zach's standing there in a white shirt with jeans, "Ms Morgan a pleasure as always, I brought a present for providing my tea" Zach says giving Mum a box of chocolate favourites.
"Why thank you Zach" Mum says as I scoot by next to her.
"Thanks Zach" I say as Zach gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"Didn't want you missing out Cam" Zach says pulling out a red rose, I smile brightly.
"Thanks Zach, that's so sweet" I say giving Zach a peck on the cheek as Zach comes inside.
"You only took fifteen minutes Cam I'm impressed" Ben says pulling me in for a hug.
"By the way, you look stunning" Ben whispers into my ear, I smile.
"Thanks Ben" I say as Zach comes over and puts an arm around me.
"Zach, it's good to see you" Ben says shaking Zach's hand. Zach smirks pulling at his shirt.
"The feeling's mutual" Zach says.
"Well take a seat" I say as I sit down, with Zach plonking down next to me and Ben on the opposite side. Mum comes out with a turkey on a plate. "Cam can I have some help grabbing the sides?" Mum asks as I nod excusing myself from the table and head into the kitchen grabbing the plate of potatoes and the jug of gravy. I smile at mum as we both head back into the dining room.
"Well eat up" Mum says taking a seat next to Ben as we all start eating.
"So Zach may I ask what you want to do when you finish school?" Mum asks while eating her carrots. Zach swallows his food and smiles. "Well I want to become a cop to be honest, I mean my Dad was a cop and he died by some drunk guy shooting him, so I want to I don't know honour him?" Zach says. I smile at Zach squeezing his hand. "How sweet Zach, tell me more about yourself" Mum asks.
"Well I'm a guy that goes to a regular public high school, my friends are Bex, Macey, Grant, Nick, Liz, Jonas and obviously your daughter, I love playing sports such as football and basketball and I'm very interested in your daughter" Zach says honestly. I smile warmly and see jealousy covering Ben's face I have a quick look under the table and see that his fists were clenched. "That's awesome! So how's your sister Ella been?" Mum asks taking a sip of her champagne. "Ella Goode is your sister?" Ben asks. Zach nods smirking "To answer your question Ms Morgan, she's been good. I mean she's going to the all-girls private school which she's really enjoying, but from what I've seen today she's missed Cam" Zach says letting out a chuckle as he turns his attention to me, I smile.
"Ben, Ella and I had some good times together right Ben?" I ask. Ben nods taking a sip of his coke. "Yeah, I remember one year it was Christmas and we called each other at like four in the morning and squealed merry Christmas, and all our mums heard us from what I could hear on the phone, it was funny as!" Ben says laughing at the memory. I smile at Ben remembering the memory like it was yesterday. "Seems like you were the troublesome trio" Zach says. Ben and I laugh. "We actually had a name for ourselves, we were the naughty little elves trio" Ben says giving me a high five. Zach and Mum just laugh at us. I finish eating and excuse myself from the table putting my dishes in the dishwasher as Ben comes up to me. "Ben, can we have a quick word?" I ask as Ben puts his dishes in the dishwasher. Ben turns his attention back to me and nods.
"I know your jealous of Zach and I, and I just want to say I'm sorry and we'll try to cool it down when your around" I say smiling sadly. Ben shakes his head vigorously.
"Cammie, no I have to get used to it" Ben says as we hug each other and head back to the table. "Well I'd better finish up the dessert; do you want me to take your plate in Zach?" Mum asks. Zach nods passing Mum his plate. "So Ben, how's it going at Westerville?" Zach asks taking a sip of his coke. Ben shrugs.
"It's been alright, Josh is good and being quite nice at the moment, and I haven't been bullied so it's good, but I miss the camster!" Ben says as he gives me a high five. Mum comes out with the Pavlova and grabs us all a slice we all dig in, and as always it tasted amazing!
"You really do make the best Pav mum!" I say licking the plate. Zach looks at me and smirks "Obviously Cammie hasn't heard of being polite!" Zach jokes poking me in the rib causing me to jump. I glare at Zach as his phone goes off. "Excuse me" Zach says getting up and answering his phone as he heads into the lounge room.
"So Ben, do you want to stay the night?" Mum asks. Ben smiles at mum and looks at me questionably "I'd love it Ben if you'd stay over" I say. Ben smiles as we hold each other's hands across the table "Well I can't say no to the Camster can I?" Ben says jokingly, Mum laughs as I just smile warmly as Zach comes back into the room. "I'm so sorry Ms Morgan, but I'm needed at home" Zach says as Mum and I get up. "Well bye Zach, it was great getting to know you" Mum says shaking Zach's hand. "Can I talk to Cammie in private first?" Zach asks. Mum smiles pushing me into the lounge room. I look at Zach eagerly. "Cam I wanted to know if you'd come to dinner with me tomorrow night at crown?" Zach asks. I look at Zach and grin.
"I'd love to! They would have been so hard to get!" I say. Zach smirks. "Yeah It wasn't easy getting on but it was worth it for you" Zach says kissing me, I smile against Zach's lips, this was paradise.
