Hey guys :D
Thank you so much for all the reviews! I really appreciate it. A lot of people are asking about Garret and Cammie, wondering if they are going to get together and stuff… but I will not reveal my secrets I have a plan, don't worry!
If you're just starting up with this story you might be a little lost, so I recommend that you read the first chapters!
I love all reviews, good or bad, so please please please please please review!
Oh, and I was thinking about doing a chapter or two in Bex and Zach's POV? What do you guys think about that? Let me know!
Oh, warning: Lime at the end of the chapter.
I do not own any of these characters. All belong to Ally Carter.
Here is chapter 8!
Chapter 8
(Cammie's POV)
I took extra care with my makeup and outfit, and put together a plan: Today I wouldn't focus on Garret and focus more on Haley; she was my target and even though I liked Garret more… I couldn't let that interfere.
Before I head out I check my laptop, signing in with my code name, to see any updates. As soon as I logged on I saw chats between Bex and Zach, and I'm pretty sure they hadn't expected me to see them:
Paintinglover: Have you talked to Chameleon?
Soccerboy19: Unfortunately.
Paintinglover: What do you mean by that?
Soccerboy19: We are going to have a problem soon…
Paintinglover: With what?
Soccerboy19: Garret and Chameleon. She is starting to develop "real" feelings for him.
Paintinglover: Oh no! We have got to talk to her.
Soccerboy19: I tried, she didn't listen to me! I think she thought I was 'jealous.'
Paintinglover: Aren't you?
Soccerboy19: It's not relevant.
Paintinglover: Yes, it is! If you are jealous, I'm sure you said something controlling which would just push Chameleon towards him. You need to win her over! I mean in a relationship way. Tell her how you feel.
Soccerboy19: I don't feel anything for her, to be more exact, right now I'm feeling severe annoyance because she is going to fuck up our mission!
Paintinglover: She isn't going to do it on purpose!
Soccerboy19: You need to talk to her. Now.
8:15: Soccerboy19 has logged off
8:17: Paintinglover has logged off
I slammed my laptop closed, even more pissed off than before. I realized that my friends really were worried about me, but they don't know Garret! They just assumed that he was an ass like other rich kids, but he isn't! He's different. Caring. Kind. Sensitive. Zach never brought me flowers or left me cute notes…
I heard a knock on my door and I jogged to go answer it. Speak of the devil:
"Hey Garret!" I said enthusiastically.
"Guess what?" He said laughing.
"What?" I said as I took a step closer to him. I placed my hands on his chest, and looked up at him.
"Classes were cancelled today!" He exclaimed.
"What!? Why?" I asked, just as enthusiastically.
"Because there was a gas leak in the main building." He laughed.
"Great! So what are we going to do today?" I laughed back.
"Well, I was thinking a picnic. With Haley and Howard, I guess like a… double date?" He asked.
"Why Garret, are you asking me on a date?" I asked in mock surprise.
"You're right, I didn't do this properly." He paused, and pretended to compose himself, "Moore, will you go on a date with me today?"
"Yes, of course!" I replied, happy to be able to spend the day with both him and Haley.
"Great, I'll wait for you in here while you change." He started into my room. I grabbed his arm, "This isn't okay?"
"Well, I think that it looks amazing." He stared for a second, "but, the picnic spot is near the top of a mountain, so it's a bit of a hike."
I nodded, I ran into my room, leaving my door open. I jogged to my closet and grabbed some shorts and a shirt, still nice but more hiking material. I noticed right after I took off my shirt that Garret was watching me change from the living room. I realized that he didn't think that I could see him, so I didn't really want to call him out. If anyone else looked at me when I was changing I would have been freaked out, but when Garret looked at me I didn't feel uncomfortable.
I removed my shirt, grateful that I had worn my cute Victoria's Secret's bra, and put on my new shirt. Then I pulled off my pants, again grateful that I had worn my Victoria's Secret's underwear, and put on my new shorts. I finished getting ready as fast as I could, and then I went into the living room to meet Garret.
"Hey," His voice was slightly raspy so he coughed, "are you ready?"
"Yeah! All ready, does this look okay?" I asked, concerned.
"You look incredible, like always." He said with his best smile. I blushed and he started to walk out, he turned around and grabbed my hand. We held hands all the way to where we were meeting Haley and Howard.
"Garret, didn't you date Haley?" I asked, nervous about his response.
"Yeah, we dated almost immediately after I moved here. It ended badly." He placed his hand on the back of his neck and rubbed it, looking upset.
"What happened?" I asked, worried I was pushing my luck. Garret took a deep breath, and looked upset.
"I made a huge mistake. One night, there was a party. I had been drinking and I slept with another girl, I didn't even remember it the next day but everyone told me about it… Haley found out, of course, and even after I apologized she still broke up with me. I don't blame her at all, cheating on her was one of the worst things I've ever done… I still haven't forgiven myself for it, but she forgave me. Now that she and Howard are dating, she seems really happy." Garret looked on really upset as he spoke, and even though he seemed apologetic, I was wondering whether or not I could trust him.
I didn't speak for a minute, as I let all of it sink in. I decided that when the time was right, I would ask Haley. If she said that dating him wouldn't be a mistake then I would. I started think about all the different possibilities, but then I realized that it didn't matter either way; I would have to date him. It was my job, my mission, and no matter how I felt about him I was going to have to date him, and then betray him.
"Okay," was my simple response, since we had just walked up to Haley and Howard.
"Hey guys!" Howard said. I smiled and studied them; I now saw that they were a couple. I have no idea how I missed it before, it seemed so obvious now. The way they stood next to each other, the way they snuck glances at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking… it was cute.
"Hey!" I said happily.
"Oh, there are a couple of other people coming… we're going to have a bonfire at the picnic spot." Haley said.
I glanced at Garret, he looked surprised but nodded.
"That sounds great!" Garret replied, as he spoke people started walking over. I counted 6 guys and 8 girls, I recognized a few, Jake and Grace, but everyone else is unfamiliar.
"Mason is coming! He'll be there in a minute. He was bringing a girl." Jake announced. I remembered that Mason was Zach's cover name, and I gasped but quickly tried to cover it. Unfortunately, Garret heard me, so he leaned closer and whispered; "What's wrong?"
"Mason is the guy that was staring at us in class." I whispered back.
"Is he bothering you?" Garret whispered back protectively.
"No, no! It's fine. I was just surprised they were hanging out with that creep." I whispered reassuringly.
"I told you, Jake thinks the kid is cool. I'll talk to him later about it." Garret whispered again.
"It's fine! Please don't do that, I'll talk to him today. I'm sure once I get to know him I will find that he is a totally normal guy." I reassured him again.
"Okay, okay… but if he says anything to you let me know and I'll take care of it." Garret finished our conversation as he saw Zach come over with a girl. The girl was pretty, and I felt a bit jealous. I cover it completely, but I knew today was going to be awkward.
"Alright! If everyone is here we should probably start walking, it'll take us about 15 minutes to get to the spot." Garret called out to everyone.
Everyone followed Garret, Haley, Howard and I. Garret and I walked holding hands for the trip and I could feel Zach's eyes staring at me, even though I could hear him laughing and joking with his friends.
"Sorry, I wanted to spend the day with you… I wasn't expecting them to turn this into a party." Garret said apologetically.
"It's okay! I don't mind parties." I said, happy that it wouldn't be a lot of one-on-one time with him.
"Alright… people are going to be drinking and I know that you got kicked out at your old school because of that so if you don't want to drink I completely understand." Garret said.
I laughed, "Its fine! I'm not worried about it."
"Alright…" Garret responded as he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.
He leaned in and gave me a small kiss on the lips and pulled away. I pouted, and tried to pull his face back to mine but he laughed and pulled away.
"Later." He promised as he kissed the top of my head. I dramatically sighed, and started to walk away from him, but he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back to him.
"Oh no you don't! You have to stay with me." He said with a laugh, I laughed back, wiggle out of his embrace and started to walk back towards the 'soccer' boys. Garret watched me for a second before turning around and starting to talk to his other friends.
"Hey," I started, everyone looked at me. I coughed, "I'm new so I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Madison." I said with a smile. Everyone smiled back and greeted me. I walked with them for a few minutes, just listening to their conversations. Finally I heard Haley call that we were here. I looked and saw a huge clearing with an incredible view. I saw why they would choose to walk so far to come here, the spot was beautiful and it really was a perfect place for a party. There was a cliff to the right, which didn't seem like the best idea if drinking was involved, but there was also premade spots for a bonfire, and picnic tables. I wondered if this place was accessible for other people, but I didn't want to ask.
Garret must have seen my puzzled expression, because he came over and asked; "What's the matter?"
"Nothing!" I responded.
"If you have questions, please ask me. I know you're new and still trying to figure things out…" he trailed off, giving me a chance to ask.
"I guess I was wondering if other people could come here?"
"No, this land is still owned by the school. And not to sound like a douchebag, but if people aren't invited they wouldn't come up here." He answered truthfully. He did sound a bit like a jerk, but I knew he was just answering honestly.
"Thank you! I was also wondering, isn't that cliff over there kind of dangerous if people are going to be drinking?"
"Yeah! It is. I've told Haley that a thousand times, but she doesn't listen to me…" He trailed off, annoyed, "We put a ton of light on the edge so that people can see where the cliff starts, also we are all really cautious, if we see anyone near the cliff we all will immediately go get them." He finished.
"That sounds smart. Thank you for answering my questions." I said with a smile.
"No problem." He gave me a grin back.
Haley called over to us, "Will you help me get the keg set up?" I knew she was speaking more to Garret than me, but both of us still went over there.
I saw the keg and Garret lifted it onto a picnic table so that it was able to be poured. It was nearly dark now, and I saw people setting up lights all over the place. I hung around for about 15 minutes before everything was ready. Right when I realized how dark it was, all the lights turned on at once. It was bright enough that you could see each other and where you were walking. Garret was also right about the cliff, it was really well lit.
"You want something to drink?" Haley called over to me.
I paused. I had no idea how to respond, I had meant to ask Zach what to do earlier but I forgot. I looked quickly for Zach and saw him holding a red solo cup.
"Yeah! I'll take one." I finally answered, she handed me the drink and came to stand next to me. "Thank you."
"Yeah, no problem." Haley responded. There was a slight pause, she noticed Garret looking for me.
"He really likes you, you know?" She said suddenly.
"Oh, really?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah! Look, I wanted to let you know that even though things didn't end great between us, he is a great guy. I know that might seem a little weird coming from me, but it's true. I loved him, and he broke my heart, but I still couldn't stop loving him. I finally moved on." She glanced at Howard as she made her confession. "I really like Howard, he's a great guy. Smart, wonderful, but safe. But Garret… Garret was handsome, charming, loving… everything you could ask for. It is impossible not to fall for him; I see that it's happening for you too." She concluded.
I sputtered, spilling some of my drink.
"I don't love him." I said.
"Not yet, but you will." She laughed as Howard called her over.
I stood by myself for a moment, and finished the rest of my drink. I went to get myself another one, and then I went to look for Garret.
I had never had anything to drink before, and I could already feel some of the effects. I was feeling bolder, less nervous. I finally found Garret standing with Zach and some other guys.
"Hey, babe." I called to him.
"There you are! I've been looking for you." He said with a small kiss. As he pulled away I pouted again and he laughed.
"Guys, this is Madison. This is Mason, Jake, Cullen, and Gregory." He pointed to each of the guys as he said their names.
"Got it! I'll try and remember that." I said with a laugh as I took another sip.
"What is she drinking?" Zach asked Garret.
"I don't know? Probably beer." He asked, taken aback.
"Umm… she is right here. Right now, vodka and Dr. Pepper." I spoke. I finished that drink too.
"Why does it matter to you? What are you drinking?" I asked pointedly at Zach.
"I'm having beer, but I can handle the alcohol."
"You don't even know me! How do you know what I can handle." I yelled.
"Yeah man, back off." Garret stood up for me.
"I'm going to get another drink." I muttered as I walked away.
"You want me to come?" Garret asked.
"No, I'm good. I'll be back in a minute… I'm going to try and meet some new people." I said with a smile and a kiss. This time I didn't let him pull away and I deepened the kiss until we were almost making out.
I pulled back and walked away towards the keg. I grabbed another drink, this time the beer, and walked around. I wondered into the woods a little ways and found a rock to sit on. I could still see the party but I knew that I needed a minute. I could really feel the alcohol now, and it was making it hard to stand.
I saw Zach coming towards me.
"What are you doing here!" I asked, outraged.
"I'm doing my job! What are you doing, besides getting wasted?" He yelled back.
"I'm doing my job too!" I tried to defend myself, but I knew it wasn't working as well when my words were slurring.
"Making out with Garret and drinking isn't your job." He shot back.
"Making out with Garret is my mission" I glared at him.
"No, dating Garret was. Kissing him was not." He stepped towards me in anger.
I stood up from my rock. "Well, kissing usually goes with the whole dating thing."
"How would you know?" He said cruelly.
I took another step towards him, and took a deep breath. I tried to calm down. "You're right; I wouldn't know… maybe I would if you could stop fucking up our relationship!"
Zach grabbed me and pulled my face to his. He kissed me passionately, and didn't stop until I had to breathe; even then he moved his lips to my ear and murmured harshly:
"I don't think you understand how hard it is to watch you with him every day. It's torture. To know that you should be mine, but I can't have you… every time he kisses you all I can think about the fact that I could do so much better. I would kiss you like you deserved to be kissed."
He brought his lips back to mine and kissed me again. This time he was softer, but still passionate. He opened his mouth to deepen the kiss. He pushed me up against a nearby tree and I picked up my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He brought his hands to the bottom of my shirt and quickly moved them to breasts.
I moaned, and dug my nails into his back. He continued to work with his hands as he kissed me. He pulled back to breathe and I moved my lips to his neck and sucked on it. He moaned too, and I could feel his erection against my thigh.
He brought his lips to my ear and whispered; "I bet Garret never touched you like this." I moaned again and brought my hands to the top of his pants. I started to finger his belt buckle, trying to undo it. He grabbed my hand to stop me.
"I want you, so bad, but not like this." He stopped what he was doing and I groaned. I was wet, hot and needy. He looked at me, and I think he saw the desire in my eyes. He groaned and walked away.
I called after him, "Zach, if you don't come back here and finish what you started, I'm going to have to find another way." I said suggestively. I knew it was a cheap shot to bring Garret into this, but at this point I was past caring.
He growled and came back over to where I was standing, breathless, against the tree.
"That wasn't nice, Cammie. But I guess you're right, it wouldn't be nice of me to leave you like this, so we'll make this nice and quick." He whispered as he pushed me back up against the tree. He started kissing me again and he moved his hand to my pants. He undid my shorts and pulled them down so that I was left in my panties.
With feather-light touches he moved his fingers up my thighs, slowly. Finally he touched me where I was longing to be touched. He moved his hand inside of my panties and started to touch my clit.
"Fuck baby, you're so wet." He whispered into my ear. I moaned.
He moved his finger in a slow circle, and I gasped. It felt so good. He moved his finger lower and entered me. He started to pump in and out and I could already feel my climax coming.
"Shit, Zach, harder." I gasped and he complied. He moved his finger faster, and added another finger. He bent his finger a little and hit a sweet spot. I cried out, and moaned loudly.
"You got to stay quiet or I'll have to stop." He scolded. He kept doing what he was doing and I felt the building in the pit of my stomach.
"I'm so close." I moaned.
He picked up his speed and I quickly came, moaning too loudly.
"Fuck. That was nice." He licked off his fingers and gave me a wink. I sunk to the ground and tried to recover.
"Nice is a bit of an understatement." I said with a smile. "Someday I'll have to return the favor." I said with a wink as I pulled up my pants and dusted myself off.
His eyes lit up and he gasped. "I'll hold you to your word…" he said.
"I'm going to go back now, will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine." I went back to my rock and sat down.
I thought Zach had left, but instead he walked around so he was in front of me and gave me a long, soft kiss, pouring in all the emotion that he felt.
"Garret could never kiss you like that." He concluded as he left, for real this time.
I agreed with him, Garret could never kiss me like that. I realized that, although I knew that I did feel something for Garret, I still had much stronger feelings for Zach and it wasn't just because he was amazing with his hands. I walked back towards the party, deciding I could figure everything else out tomorrow.
End of Chapter 8!
I hope you guys liked it.
I know that it was a little more 'dirty' than most, but *shrug* it happens.
Don't like it? Sorry. Not every chapter will be like that. :)
Please review. I love reviews. SO much. They make my life.
