Chapter 4

(Zach's POV)

I heard Joe yell that we didn't have to go to any more classes, which is good because I wouldn't have gone, and that we should get some sleep, but that one wasn't going to happen. I was so worked up thinking about Cam and Garret! It made me sick to think about the two of them, being together, kissing, maybe Cammie even starting to like him for real! I started to pace in my room, thinking about ways that I could keep them apart.

Zach. Calm down. Breathe. Cammie's not going to fall for him, she knows that this is just a mission. She likes you. Right? Why else would she have kissed you in the hallway the other day?

The voice in my head tried to calm me down, and it worked a little bit. Cammie wouldn't have kissed me if she didn't like me, right? I sat down, and thought it through; she had to complete the mission. She already agreed to that, so there was no going back. Just because she 'dated' Garret didn't mean she would develop real feelings for him. It was a fake relationship, it didn't mean anything… I continued to think to myself for a while.

"Hey Zach, how's it going?" Grant asked.

I hadn't even noticed he had walked in. If I stay unfocused like this I'm not going to be any help on the mission.

"Hey Grant."

"What's up?" He asked with concern, I guess he could tell something was wrong.

"Nothing man." I replied.

"Common, talk to me." He pressed.

"Drop it." I said, my voice rising a little bit.

"No. Zach, you can't go on a mission tomorrow if you're not focused. You're just going to screw it up for your team. Tell me what's wrong." He said sternly.

I knew he was right but I wasn't really sure how to start.

"It's Cam I guess. On our mission, she has to 'date' some guy. It bothers me." I managed.

"You like her. That's normal." He asked, slightly confused, he didn't see what the issue was.

"I don't like her! We are just friends, not even friends most of the time." I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. Why did everyone assume that I liked her?! We're just friends. Friends can kiss. In normal schools I'm sure that happens all the time. I'm not really used to being around girls, so I think it's pretty normal that she makes me nervous, and I can't seem to think straight.

"Dude, you like her. It's obvious." Grant said with a laugh.

"I don't like her" I said in almost a growl, I stood up and took a step towards him with my hands in a fist.

"Whoa, Whoa. Calm down. I just think it's funny that you won't accept that you like her." Grant said, placing his hands next to his head.

I walked out of the room then, but I still didn't miss Grant yelling after me:

"If you tell her you like her, she won't go for the other guy!"

I walked to the 'stables' so that I could be alone for a little bit. I thought about what Grant said, and I thought about how I really felt. I thought about how she made me feel when I was around her, and how I always wanted to be with her, I thought about how I was worried when I found out she was going on a mission, and how I just want her to be safe. I realized that we have something more than friendship even though I wasn't sure what it was yet. I also decided that Grant was right, I should tell her how I feel even though I'm not even exactly sure how I feel yet. I went to go find her, walked over towards her room. Bex wasn't there but I figured she was with Grant, they were together all the time these days, it was obvious how they felt about each other, why couldn't it be that easy for me and Cammie? Macey and Liz were at classes so it was just Cam. She was sleeping in her bed, and she looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake her; I smiled slightly and realized that this could wait until later but as I turned around I heard her whisper:

"Zach"

I turned around to look at her but she was still asleep, which means she was dreaming about me, and knowing that she dreamed about me made me happier then I had been in a while. I walked towards her, and she stirred a little bit and cracked her eyes open. "Zach?" She said groggily.

"Yeah, sorry to wake you." I replied, my voice a little husky.

"'s okay." She turned over.

"Cam? Should I come back later?"

"No you can stay." She turned back over, but pulled the blanket up to her chin, which made me wonder what she was wearing. I felt myself get a little hard, wondering if maybe she was naked right now.

"What do you want to talk about?" She said, her voice still rough from just waking up.

"I'm sorry about waking you…" I started.

"It's fine." She coughed. "I'm going to change, okay?"

I nodded.

"Turn around…" She blushed.

I turned around, but watched her out of my peripherals. She was wearing an oversized shirt and some underwear. I wondered briefly if the shirt was her dad's. But then I was much more focused on the way her butt looked in that underwear. Black was always a good choice.

She coughed again. I wondered if she was coming down with something.

"Do you mind if I shower really fast? It'll only take a minute but Macey and Liz will be back soon, and they'll be mad if they can't shower before dinner." She asked, obviously embarrassed.

"No that's fine." I answered trying to control my hard-on. Just thinking about her in the shower, naked, a few yards from me was doing some not so good things to my teenage hormones.

"It'll only take a second, I'll be right back." She turned around, giving me a nice view of her butt. She walked into the bathroom, and I let out a breath. I had to get myself under control, or this was going to be a very unpleasant visit. I thought about anything other than Cammie showering. Shit. This wasn't working. I found a book near her bed and I started to read that, which helped some. In 2 minutes and 43 seconds I heard the shower turn off, exactly one minute and 13 seconds later she walked back into the room.

"All done!" She said with a smile.

I smiled back, and patted the spot next to me on the bed. She came over and sat next to be, obviously curious about what I had to say.

"Well, I wanted to apologize for being a jerk earlier." I started, I didn't like that I had had to apologize more than once the last couple of days. I had to start being nicer.

"It's okay; I said some things I shouldn't have either." She looked at her feet. She was so cute when she got like that, all disgruntled.

"That's not all I wanted to say though, I came here to say that you were right-"

"Zach-" She interrupted me.

"Go ahead" I said, wanting to hear what she had to say.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry that the mission is so lame. I'm sure you've been on missions much harder, and that this seems really easy to you, but I'm really nervous and I would feel much better if you were there to help me." She blushed again, but this time kept looking at me. I held eye contact, and grabbed her hand.

"This mission isn't lame, I shouldn't have said that. It will be hard, harder than most because you have to become someone else. Luckily, it will be easy for you, Chameleon." I said with a chuckle, "and Gallagher Girl, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. That's what I came here to talk to you about-"

"To tell me you wanted to go on the mission?" She asked her confusion apparent.

"No, that-" I tried again.

"Cam! You should be sleeping" Liz scolded as she walked into the room.

Cam rolled her eyes, "Liz, why don't you yell at Bex for being with Grant?"

"I would if she brought Grant here!" Cam laughed, but I was kind of annoyed. I was trying to say something!

I coughed.

"Oh! Liz, can you give us a moment?"

"Well, I have to shower. So you can have until I get out of the shower." She replied as she walked into the bathroom. Thinking about Liz in the shower definitely did not affect me like Cam did.

I started again "I was trying to say, that-"

"Cam, do you know where my black lace bra went? Oh. Hey Zach." And for the first time I saw Macey McHenry blush. I couldn't stay in this room of all girls for much longer, my hormones were going into overdrive.

"It's in the third drawer on the left." Cam said with another eye roll, I wondered if she owned any black lace bras.

Macey had regained her cool, and was now back to the Macey I knew. She walked over to the drawer, grabbed the bra, and then looked directly at me. I might have drooled a little bit. I felt my pants get tighter, but when I felt Cam look at me while I was staring I immediately looked back to her.

"I'm going to go get changed." Macey walked toward the bathroom too.

Liz walked out of the bathroom, before I even had the chance to start again.

"Alright! Time's up, Cammie's got to get ready now." Liz was always so motherly.

I looked at Cam, but she was nodding.

"Liz's right, we can talk later."

I nodded, and even though I was frustrated I realized I would never be able to say what I needed to say with Cam's roommates there to listen. I stood up, waved goodbye, and walked back to my room. Soon I would tell Cammie how I felt, it would come. I didn't need to force it.

(Cammie's POV)

-Taking place from when Zach woke her up-

Zach and I were walking along the beach, he had brought a picnic and we were looking for a good place to set up. We found a perfect place on the dunes near the water, but far enough away that the food wouldn't get wet. He held my hand as we ate the strawberries and sandwiches he had brought. It was perfect, watching the sunset as we ate dinner. He leaned over to kiss me, and at first it was innocent, but then he moved his head to deepen the kiss. He moved his hands to my sides and started to pull me closer to him. I kissed his harder, and he finally broke the kiss, but only to move his lips to my neck. I moaned quietly, "Zach"

I heard someone moving in my room, and I cracked my eyes open. It was Zach.

"Zach?" I said, still not even close to awake.

"Yeah, sorry to wake you." His voice sounded deeper, kind of rough.

"'s okay." I turned back over and started to fall back asleep. I thought of Zach being in the room and I was suddenly self-conscious about the way I slept.

"Cam? Should I come back later?" He asked. I realized I wasn't going to be able to fall asleep so I said:

"No, you can stay." I realized I wasn't wearing much clothing, and I pulled my blanket higher. 'What do you want to talk about?" I asked, knowing that he wouldn't have just come in my room for no reason.

"I'm sorry about waking you…" He started, I was feeling really uncomfortable in just my dad's oversized shirt and I knew that if I wanted to have a coherent conversation I needed to change.

"It's okay." I coughed to stop myself from blushing. "I'm going to change, okay?"

Zach nodded, but still didn't look away from me.

"Turn around…" I blushed, wondering when he was staring at me like that.

I walked over to my dresser to find some clothes to wear to dinner. I picked up some jeans and a blouse; I realized that I was going to shower so it didn't make any sense for me to change without showering. I figured Zach wouldn't mind and it would only take a minute. I coughed again, embarrassed about standing in front of him half naked.

"Do you mind if I shower really fast? It'll only take a minute but Macey and Liz will be back soon, and they'll be mad if they can't shower before dinner." I spoke fast, out of embarrassment.

"No, that's fine." He looked weird as he spoke, but I couldn't figure out what was different.

"It'll only take a second, I'll be right back." I said as I turned around and walked in to bathroom. It took me longer to shower than normal because I kept thinking about the fact that Zach was in the other room. I thought about if he was in this shower with me, or even just him in the shower by himself. I was getting wet, and not just from the shower. I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. I finished the shower, and took an extra minute to get changed, still trying to get myself under control. Zach has never affected me like this before. I walked about of the bathroom and saw Zach reading a book he had picked up next to my bed. I smiled and said "All done!"

Zach patted the spot next to him on the bed, and I walked over there. Sitting next to Zach on a bed was not calming me down, and I needed to stay calm. I was curious to see what he had to say though.

"Well, I wanted to apologize for being a jerk earlier." He started, but I cut him off. I could tell he felt bad, and it killed me to think that he was beating himself up over it.

"It's okay; I said some things I shouldn't have either" I looked at my feet, embarrassed that I had suggested that he was jealous.

"That's not all I wanted to say though, I came here to say that you were right-"

"Zach-" I cut him off, I didn't want him to feel bad about going on the mission tomorrow, and I wanted him to understand that I was really thankful he was going.

"Go ahead" he encouraged.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry that the mission is so lame. I'm sure you've been on missions much harder, and that this seems really easy to you, but I'm really nervous and I would feel much better if you were there to help me." I blushed again; I wasn't sure why I found it so hard to express my feelings to him.

Now I was confused, I thought he said the mission was lame? And now came to tell me that he wanted to go?

"To tell me you wanted to go on the mission?" I asked.

"No, that-" He tried again, this time he was interrupted by Liz.

"Cam! You should be sleeping" She was always over protective. I rolled my eyes, "Liz, why don't you yell at Bex for being with Grant?"

"I would if she brought Grant here!" I laughed. Liz was just being Liz. Zach coughed and I realized that Liz had interrupted whatever he had been trying to say.

"Oh! Liz, can you give us a moment?" I shot her a glance, telling her that the correct answer is yes.

"Well, I have to shower. So you can have until I get out of the shower." Liz replied as she walked into the bathroom.

Zach tried again, "I was trying to say, that-"

But then Macey walked in, and asked without thinking; "Cam, do you know where my black lace bra went?" She paused. "Oh. Hey Zach." She blushed, and I could tell she was very embarrassed, but Macey McHenry didn't do embarrassment like the rest of us, so within seconds she was under control.

"It's in the third drawer on the left." I rolled my eyes again. I watched Macey go over to that drawer, pick up the bra and then look directly at Zach. He was staring, open mouthed and everything. I could tell he felt me staring and tried to get himself under control. It affected me more than it should have, seeing him look at another girl.

"I'm going to go get changed." Macey said as she exited the room.

Zach opened his mouth to start again, but Liz was done with her shower and walked over to us:

"Alright! Time's up, Cammie's got to get ready now." Saved by the Liz. I usually would have told Zach he could stay, but I was still kind of hurt by the way he looked at Macey. I nodded and looked at Zach, "Liz's right, we can talk later."

I saw Zach nod his agreement, as he left. I was upset and kind of hurt, but I was also really curious to see what he had to say. I will have calmed down enough later to try and have this conversation again.

Alright, chapter 4. Just a little bit more on their relationship, and less on action! Don't worry; there will be plenty of action in the next chapter This one was a little bit more 'inappropriate' and I'm betting that the next chapters will be about the same, so if you don't want any of that… sorry :/

Please review! The reviews make my day :D
