Heyyyy! Just a girly chapter about Cam and Zach's love life and a very special date night:) But this is on the longer side. Thanks for reading guys! It means so much to me.

Cam POV

Five days after I returned, we were still all at the Gallagher Academy. I had tried to explain everything that happened to me, but it didn't do any good because Nobody knew any of the people that I described, and I had no idea where I had been. So we were stumped. My friends had almost never left me alone, which I didn't have a huge problem with.

I saw I girl I had only seen once before in the halls ran up to me with a few other sophomores. They were all giggling and whispering to each other as they stopped right in front of me. Ugg…what now? The girl was staring at me now.

"Zach told me to tell you that you need to meet him at seven o'clock tonight. He said in 'you know where'. And you have to wear what is the first thing in your closet. Or if you can find something prettier where that." All the girls we locking their eyes in me. "And don't eat dinner." Then she tuned on her heels and walked away with her circle of buddies.

"Okay, thank you!" I called to them. She turned and nodded. I looked at my watch. Four thirty-two. Okay, so that gave the girls two hours and twenty-eight minutes to figure out exactly what Zach was doing. I ran to my room to find them. I opened to door and jumped onto my bed.

"Guys…" I started. That instantly got everybody's attention. They all looked at me with curious eyes.

"What is it, Cam?" Liz asked. I smiled.

"Spit it out, Cammie." Macey said, growing impatient.

"Okay, so this random sophomore came up to me about two minutes ago and told me that I was supposed to meet Zach tonight at seven." I explained. They all stared at me for a few seconds.

"Really? Where?" Liz screeched.

"She said 'you know where' and that was it." I said, trying to look puzzled, even though I knew exactly where it was I was supposed to meet him. All three girls looked confused. But then Bex's expression changed suddenly.

"Cam knows exactly where it it." She said, glaring at me but also smiling. Macey and Liz looked at me questionably.

"Okay, maybe I do. Oh, and she said he said I had to wear the first thing in my closet." Macey jumped off the bed so fast it took her about one-hundredth of a second to get to my closet. She shoved open the doors and gasped.

'What? What is it?" We all asked her. She slowly turned, jaw practically to the floor. And all our jaws did the same thing. In Macey's hands, was a gorgeous pale blue strapless high-low dress. The skirt was see-through with a slip underneath. I must say, I am not a huge one for fashion, but this dress was adorable.

"Cammie! This is amazing!" Liz squealed. touching the dress. Both the other girls agreed.

Macey looked up, "what time is it?" she asked me.

"Um, four forty-five." I replied.

"Okay, that gives us two hours and fifteen minutes to get you all ready." She said, shoving me into the bathroom. Great, this was going to be fun.

Two hours later, my makeup and hair were done, and I was in my dress and light pink heels that Zach had also graciously set out. I felt like we were having another dance-slash-test. But we weren't, I was just going on a date with my boyfriend. Bex and Macey had argued at times about how curly my hair should be. But of course, Macey came out on top with that one.

I stood as a finished product in front of the full length mirror in our room.

"Ooh, Cam! You are glowing!" Liz exclaimed.

"Guys, do I really need this much for a date?" I asked.

"Of course," Bex chimed in, "and besides, this is Zach we're talking about, what are the odds this is going to be a normal date?"

"Well it-"

"I don't really want the odds, Lizzy." She said, cutting Liz off and rolling her eyes. I looked in the mirror again. My hair had been put so it was in a side pony tail. The girls had made it so it was a little bit wavy. The elastic on the dress fit my waist perfectly, and was tight at the top. The skirt flowed around me like a waterfall. Since it was a high-low skirt, the back rested just above my ankles, and the front was at my knees. It was stunning, really. Maybe Zach had a thing for fashion. I was also wearing a silver bracelet and silver stud earrings. My makeup was beautiful as well. Macey had done it, go figure. My eyes were smoky pink and brown, to match my heels. And I had a light pink lip gloss as well. It wasn't over done, but just perfect.

I sighed. "Thanks guys, I really appreciate this." I said, smiling at them.

"Your welcome. You look amazing." They all replied.

"Okay, it's six fifty-two. Anything else need to be done?" Asked Liz. We all shook our heads.

"Wait! Oh, my goodness I almost forgot!" Macey exclaimed, running to the bathroom. She came back with a necklace in her hand. "Wear this." She put it on me. It was simple, a chain with a silver dove on it. But it was pretty. I decided I liked it, and might steal it from her.

"Okay, I think thats it." Bex said. I nodded.

"Thanks again, girls."

"Of course. As long as I get a makeover on my next special date with Grant." She said with a serious look on her face. We all laughed.

"Looking forward to it, Bex." Macey said. Then Bex laughed.

"You better get going, Cam. It's almost seven o'clock." Liz said.

"Okay, I will see you guys later." I said, heading for the door.

"Bye! Have fun!" They all yelled at me.

"Yah, and behave your self, Cameron Ann." Bex said. I gave her a death look and she burst out laughing with Macey and Liz. Once I turned the corner, my heart started to beat even faster than it already had been.

I got to the passageway at seven o'one. That's spy version of fashionably late. I climbed through careful not get anything on my dress or mess up my hair in any way. As soon as I saw Zach, my heart froze. He was wearing a suit, with a tie and everything. Okay, defiantly not a normal date. I thought silently.

"Whoa." I heard him whisper, looking me up and down. I smiled and was blushing like crazy. "Hey, beautiful." He said, grinning.

"Hey." I responded. "So…what are we doing tonight?" He smirked at the question.

"Well…first we are having dinner on the lawn, and then the rest I can't tell you." He said.

"Aww. You can't tell me at all? Not even any clues?" I asked putting on a childish sad face. He shook his head.

"Nope. Sorry Gallagher Girl." With that, he pulled my waist into him, kissing me. It was soft and short, but it was sweet. Then Zach grabbed my hand and pulled my out of the passageway. We were practically running through the halls to get to the front door. After a few minutes of walking in the grass, we finally reached the blanket with food spread out. "Cheesy, I know." Zach said.

"It is, but I love it. Thank you." I said. I sat down on the blanket and examined what we had to eat. There was pasta, and sandwiches, and sparkling cider, and of course, chocolate covered strawberries. All of which I knew were courtesy of the Gallagher Academy kitchen. "Mmm. Looks delicious!" I exclaimed. I started to pile food on my plate. Zach did the same.

All throughout dinner, we laughed and flirted. We ate and spilled cider on one occasion. It was amazing. Just amazing. We had eaten all the strawberries, and were now lying on our backs, looking up at the moon and stars. My head was on Zach's chest and his arms were wrapped around me.

"I'm so glad you're back. And that you're okay." I heard him say. "I seriously broke down. After you were disappeared, and we couldn't fine you and-" He stopped talking.

"I know, I know. It's okay. I'm glad to be back too, with you." I said. Looking up at him. I realized his eyes we kinda red. I turned over so I was on top of him. "I love you." It felt right to say it to him.

"I love you." Zach said back. He pulled me farther onto him so my face was like an inch away from his. "I love you more than anything." He didn't let me respond though. One of Zach's arms was around my waist, and the other pulled my head down to connect my lips with his. I put my hands on his strong arms. "I thought I lost you." He said through the kiss.

"You could never lose me." I said, also through the kiss. Zach flipped over so he was on top, resting his weight on his hands. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him as close to me as possible. Oh, my god. Yah, the night got a million times better in three seconds. We had kissed many, many times since I had been back, but nothing like this. Eventually, the kisses got softer. And after what seemed like hours of making out-which possibly could have been-we broke apart, breathing heavily.

"We better go, don't want to be late." Zach whispered in my ear. He was kissing my neck.

"Where are we going?" I asked, surprised. Zach looked at me with a mischievous grin on his lips.

"Dancing. We're going dancing." I laughed at that, and rolled off of Zach. He helped me up off the blanket and intertwined his fingers in mine. We snuck out of the academy through a passageway and walked across town. I spotted a barn in the distance, filled with lights and music and couples dancing. Once we reached the barn I stopped Zach.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked him.

"Yah. If anyone asks, come up with a cover. Come on!" He pulled me onto the dance floor. Go figure, as soon as we started to dance, the song ended, and a slower song came on. I wrapped my arms around Zach's neck and pulled him closer. He wrapped his arms around my waist and squeezed me tight. Zach was smiling. Which made me smile.

"I love the dress you chose. And the shoes." I told him.

"I'm glad. Macey picked them out." He grinned. My mouth dropped open. I rolled my eyes.

"I should've known. Jeez, she has like the best surprised look ever." I explained, laughing.

"Yah, I made her promise not to tell you. None of the others knew."

"Well I love this. Thank you, Zach."

"Anytime." He said. We danced for a long time. To all different kinds of songs. Fast songs, slow songs, songs that I hated, songs that I loved. But none of that mattered, all that mattered was that I was with Zach. After about three hours of dancing, we decided to had back, before my mom locked me in a cell for life. We laughed all the way back. And by the time we got up to Zach's room, my stomach hurt and my eyes we watering. I kinda wanted to get out of that dress, and relax. So when Zach was in the bathroom, I grabbed one of his shirts and slipped it on. I took my heels off and sat in a chair in the corner of the room.

"Nice shirt." He said when he came out.

"Thanks. It's my boyfriends." I told him, smiling like an idiot. It was hard not to smile when I was around him. Zach walked over to me, picked me up bridal style, and walked me over to his bed. I expected him to put me down on the bed, but no. Zach chucked me onto the bed. I gave a playful shriek. Then he jumped onto the bed and grabbed me. I sat in his lap. I looked at the clock, it was around midnight. I was exhausted from dancing and the day before. I got out of Zach's lap and got under the covers of the bed. Zach chuckled and shut the lights off. He climbed into bed next to me and wrapped his muscular arms around me. I felt so safe in that moment. We kissed for a while. Zach kissed my jawline and my cheek and neck before whispering,

"Goodnight, Gallagher girl."

"Goodnight, Zach. And thank you again. I had so much fun tonight." I told him.

"Anything for you." He said. Then I started to drift off, wishing that the night had not ended. Maybe we could do that every night.

I woke up the next morning shoved as close to Zach as I could possibly get. I never had any nightmares when I was with him. Ever since I had gotten back, I would have these awful nightmares that haunted me almost every time I would shut my eyes. But it was like Zach was like a block wall that the terrors couldn't get through.

As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a picture sitting in a frame on the nightstand. It made my heart hurt but leap for joy at he same time. It was the picture that Macey took, when we were in South Carolina. I was in Zach's arms, my feet dangling in the air, in mid kiss. It was when he first told me he loved me. And when I first told him. It was the best picture ever taken. Ever. Well, for me anyways. I reached out to touch it. As I brushed my fingers against the frame, I felt Zach stir. He pulled me loser to him and moaned. I glanced at the clock, seven thirty-three. Shoot! I tried to escape Zach's grasp. But that didn't really work, and resulted in me being pressed so hard up against him I could barely breath. Which don't get me wrong, I could just lay there forever. But my mom was already freaked out by a million different things right then with everything that had happened.

"Zach! Zach, it's passed seven thirty. Come on breakfast is in less than 30 minutes." I said, trying to get him up. He moaned again.

"Five more minutes. You know you want to, Gallagher Girl." he said still half asleep.

"Yah, I do. But we have to get up." I finally managed my way out of the tangle of blankets and shoved them off the bed.

"Cammie! It's cold!" Zach shrieked.

"I know. Get out of bed, Zach!" I yelled at him. I went to go put on my dress. Except, it wan't on the chair where I left it. I look for it on the floor, on the bed, and everywhere else it would be.

"Zach, did you put my dress somewhere." I asked. He shook his head.

"No, I saw it on the chair last night." He added.

"It's not there." I stopped suddenly. Oh, no. They wouldn't. Yes, they totally would. "Zach, what do you think the chances are that the girls-" He looked up.

"One out of one." He exclaimed. "I'll run down, beat them, and get you some clothes." I laughed.

"Thanks." He the left the room, leaving me to stare at the marvelous picture again.

About eight minutes later, Zach came back with some of my clothes.

"Sorry it took so long, they refused to give them to me unless I told them every single detail about last night." He said.

"Did you?" I asked. I raised my eyebrows.

"God, no. I just stole them." He smirked.

"Good, boy." I changed into the clothes, and Zach and I walked down to the dining room two minutes after breakfast had started. We sat with Bex, Liz, and Macey where we did when we actually wet to school now we were just taking up space because everybody refused to leave without me.

"So…where did you two go last night?" Bex asked.

"Dancing. In town. Oh, and thank you for stealing my dress this morning." I said, lowering my voice. Macey wiggled her eyebrows.

"Ooh! Dancing! Fun!" Lizzy practically yelled, ignoring the last part. We all shushed her.

"Well it's obvious you guys had some fun whatever you were doing. Oh, and about the dress, you shouldn't have taken it off then." Macey said. With pure seriousness across her perfectly smooth face.

After breakfast, I called the three girls into our room for a special meeting. And it was me who told every last detail of the night before. There were ooh's and ahh's, pointers, and translations. We all laughed and joked. And planned for my next move. Some things never change, you know?
