A/N- Won't be updating for a week because im going on holiday, but I'll try and write a few chapters ready to post.
And there was a ring.
In the black velvet box, there was two plush red cushions sandwiching a silver, diamanté ring with an amazing blue sapphire in the middle. It was beautiful - but then it dawned on me.
Zach had bought me a ring. What was he doing?! My eyes widened and my mind went on overdrive and I just started freaking out.
Zach POV
I pulled the ring out of my pockets and opened it to show her what I bought for her.
She fell silent and her eyes widened so much I thought her eyeballs could just fall out. She looked like she was having some sort of inner battle. Why?
Oh the ring!
Shit she thinks I'm proposing or something! I mean someday maybe, but today is not that day.
"No, no, no! Cam this is a special spy ring, look I've got one too." I reached over to my end table and grabbed mine to show her. She still seemed sceptical.
"Cam, look. It's a lie detector and pulse detector and a tracker." She seemed to begin to believe what I was saying.
"Go on..." She said
"Okay so if someone is lying, it vibrates. And mine and yours are hooked up, the colour shows if the other is alive. So in the bluntest way possible, if one of us goes missing, we know if we're dead or alive, and where you are because if the tracker." She nodded and slipped it onto her finger.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I said, I really hoped she didn't think I was a complete psycho.
"It's okay, I just sort of panicked. I mean we've only known each other for like a month and a half, and I'm 16 so not exactly marriage age."
I smirked
"So you like me?" I said like an innocent six year old.
"What! I um... No... Um... I mean..." She stuttered and I walked up close to her.
"You can take it as an engagement if you want" I said in the same tone.
"No. Um I mean... I do like yo- no I don't... Um well... You see..."
"Cam" I held her arms softly. Her breath hitched, which made me smirk even more.
"Yeah?" She breathed
"Merry Christmas" and then I kissed her. Again.
She was shocked like before but then kissed me back sweetly. I could get used to this. She wrapped her arms round my neck and pulled me closer. That was all the answer I needed. Cammie liked me, or showed pretty definite signs of liking me. And that was the best feeling I've ever felt. I was going to hold onto her for as long as I could. Catherine needed to come though me before she got Cammie, and I knew she wouldn't hurt me. But I don't care how many I kill, it's what I'm trained to do essentially, I was going to keep her safe.
The rest of the day went fine, and how I thought a Christmas should be. We were all sat Rachel's office, where overnight she and Joe had set up a Christmas tree with decorations. We all exchanged gifts and it was really nice. Cam spent a while on the phone to her friends and adoptive family back in the states, while Rachel attempted to make a Christmas dinner – that was, until Joe took over, since Rachel has the cooking skills of a new born baby – meaning none. Whatsoever!
We were just finishing our dinner, when the sirens went off again. Code Black.
Before we had a chance to say or do anything, that voice came from the shadows of the room. That voice that I despised.
"Well, Cameron, long time no see."
