Chapter 8- Clearing the air

"Dad?" I ask and my face goes red.

"Yeah kiddo, the one and only," My dad laughs and pulls me into a big hug. I latch onto him as well and cling onto his warmth and wood smell. "I missed you." He whispers and I nod back. We both pull away before my dad looks at Zach.

"Hey dad, this is Zach Goode. He is a friend, no matter what you have just seen 2 minutes ago. Also, could you please not tell the others about it?" I ask with a little plead.

"Hello Zack, I'm Matthew Morgan. I would tell you something about how you should be careful around my daughter and not to hurt her but she has plenty of people who could kill you in worse ways than me. And Cammie, I won't tell anyone but they are spies so they might know already." He warns which I understand.

"Okay dad, I will show you everyone else before we get started." I tell him and all 3 of us walk in through the door, into the kitchen. Everyone looks up thinking they will see some the drama between Zach and I but are shocked when they see my dad (or in some cases and complete stranger) walk in with us.

"Wow Matthew Morgan, dude you have been one of my heroes forever!" Grant exclaims before getting out of his chair to shake my dad's hand.

"Thank you Grant Newman, it is a pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Cammie is going to be a good spy and human being." Dad says before shaking his hand thoroughly. "Bex, come here." He demands jokingly before letting her into a big hug. He then does the same with Liz and Macey.

"Matt, this is my boyfriend Jonas." Liz then says to dad before grabbing hold of Jonas's hand and steering him to dad.

"Nice to meet you son, now you take care of Liz she maybe clumsy but she has a perfect soul on her." My father compliments and although it may seem too much he genuinely means it.

"Don't worry sir, I make sure she is happy or try to at least." Jonas says timidly before sharing an exchange of loving eyes with Liz. Josh is the only one that hasn't been introduced so I walk over to him.

"Dad this is the last person. His name is Josh; however he isn't a spy but met up with me at the wrong moment and not is involved." I explain and Josh sweeps his hand into mine. My father of course notices the action and gives me a look to say 'now I know why you wanted the exchange outside to be kept quiet.' Zach is standing behind my dad and a blank expression passes his face clearly trying not to show he is annoyed. I stop looking in the direction, removing my hand from Josh as well. As a spy I shouldn't be feeling conflicted about anything, I know who I am and that should be enough. The problem is that I really don't know myself. I know myself as a spy and as a friend but I've never had enough time to be in a relationship so I never learnt. I'm just glad I had dad come when he did so it wouldn't have been made more complicated. Of course I still need to deal with telling him more is cheating on him with his best friend and that is before him actual telling me what his problem is.

I notice the chatter around has stopped so I look up to see that everyone is watching me. I smile weakly before walking out of the door and into the bedroom that I share with Josh, which will be fun telling dad about. I walk over to the chair that is facing the window and sit down watching the lake outside. Someone knocks on the door and I look over to see Josh.

"Can I come in?" He asks quietly and I simply nod. He walks over, and then sits on the edge of the chair. "I know I shouldn't be asking this when your dad is here and there are many other problems in your life but I need to know. What happened outside with Zach?" I suck in a breath and look at Josh, taking in all of his concerned features. His coffee brown wavy hair is pushed back and his wide hazel pools stare intently at me, showing how scared he is of my answer. I've hurt him, I don't even have to say anything and he already expects me to hurt him. I don't want to, I don't want drama but I brought myself into it with liking guys.

"I don't want to lie to you Josh; all I do to you is lie to you. We talked and he kissed me, I kissed back so I'm not all innocent. However that doesn't mean I don't like you. Telling you this makes me feel like a horrible person; I mean I am a horrible person I've just never had to deal with this before. I don't know what I'm doing right now, this is all me going with the flow which means that I end up hurting you. I understand if you don't want to deal with me but you do have to say here, we can just organise something with the beds." I say quietly, looking at him dead in the eye and watching how much each word cuts him up.

"I expected this Cammie and it isn't going to make me stop liking you. Fuck, this should make me want to leave but I can't give up on you. I'm going to do something I may regret but I need to try. I give him a confused look but he leans his head forward and then our lips are connected. His hands go into my hair, and mine instantly move to his neck and cheek trying to get more contact. Our mouths open in the kiss and his tongue touches mine, sending electric sparks up my back. All thoughts leave me as I am captivated by the kiss. At some point we break apart panting.

"I would say sorry about that but I'm not. I like you Cameron Morgan and I am going to prove that you like me back. The kiss was just to start." Josh grins before giving me a quick peck and walks out the door without looking back. I press my hands to my lips and curse stupid boys and their ways of making my tummy have funny feelings.

I bang my head against the chair and stifle a groan into a pillow.
