The next morning, Zach woke up to a knock on the door. He groaned and buried his head in Cammie's hair. The knocking got louder until Macey threw open the door.

"Cammie! Come on, get-"

She paused, finally noticing Zach, and then smirked.
"Hello Zachary."

"McHenry."

"Well, since you're here, you get to wake her up. Have fun!" she called as she closed the door.

Zach sighed, turning his head so his mouth was next to her ear.

"Gallagher Girl, oh Gallagher Girl, wake up," he sang.

He kissed her jaw, moving along it to her lips. He kissed the corners of her mouth before pulling back to look at her face, brushing her hair away from her forehead. She stirred, but didn't open her eyes. He lowered his head so their lips ever so slightly touched.

"Morning," he whispered.

He lifted his head and smirked when she opened her eyes and pouted.

"That was mean."

"But it woke you up."

Cammie raised her hands to his cheeks and then ran her fingers through his hair.

"Macey stopped by. She said to get up."

"Well let's get up then."

She shoved him gently to her right and slipped out of bed on the other side. She started gathering her clothes for the day and set them on top of the dresser, turning back to Zach. He was laying with his hands behind his head, watching her with a smile.

"Come on Blackthorne Boy, you have to go back to your own room now."

Cammie grabbed his wrist and pulled. Zach didn't budge. She tried again, he still didn't move. She huffed and was about to drop his hand when he yanked her toward him, causing her to fall on top of him. Her hair fell in a curtain around their heads, blocking out the rest of the world.

"I don't believe I got a good morning."

Cammie just laughed and lowered her head so their noses touched.

"Good morning," she whispered, before springing up and dancing off to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"Not fair!" Zach cried, sitting up.

"Too bad!" she shouted back, her smile evident in her voice.

Zach scoffed and stood. He walked over to the bathroom and leaned his head against it.

"Fine, I'm leaving. I'll see you at breakfast," he pouted.

"Bye babe!" Cammie sang.

Zach chuckled and left to go get dressed in his own room.

Fifteen minutes later, Zach leaned against the wall outside Cammie's room, waiting for her to come out. Bex had walked by a minute before and just smirked at him. He smirked back. Finally, the door opened and Cammie stepped out. Before she got two feet out the door, he grabbed her and trapped her against the wall.

"I still haven't gotten that good morning."

She didn't reply, only weaved her fingers through his hair and lightly pressed her lips to his, much like she had done when they first arrived. Zach pulled away, resting his forehead on hers.

"Now was that so hard?"

Cammie giggled. He grabbed her hand and together they walked down to breakfast.

"What do we do now?" asked Bex.

They had all eaten and were lounging around in the living room.

"Well, we could watch more movies-" Kat started, but the idea was quickly put out when everyone groaned. "-or we could play games. Hale has an impressive stash of board games here."

"That sounds fun."

Everyone looked at Liz.

"What? I like board games."

"Ok."

"Why not?"

"Cool with me."

They gathered in kitchen once more, games of all kinds spread across the island.

"What should we play first?" Cammie asked.

"Oh! Scrabble!"

Everyone looked at Liz again.

"What? I like word games ..."

"We know Liz," Macey laughed.

They set up Scrabble and played in teams, Cammie and Zach, Hale and Kat, Macey and Gabs, and Bex and Liz.

An hour later, Bex and Liz were crowned the champions of Scrabble, and everyone was all too happy to move on to another game.

"How about Life?" Kat proposed.

They put away Scrabble and set up Life. This time, they played every man for themselves. Cammie ended up winning that game, and then suggested Monopoly.
Monopoly was interesting. They played without teams again and had to restart twice because Bex flipped the board, and twenty minutes later Zach did, as well. They played for nearly three hours before Cammie slumped in her seat and put her head on the table.

"I give up!" she said, throwing her hands up. "Monopoly was a terrible idea."

Everyone agreed and seeing that it was two in the afternoon and they were all starving, they decided to get lunch. Marcus got subs, and they all enjoyed their food out on the back patio.

"How about another game, a tournament perhaps," Hale said as they went back inside.

"What did you have in mind?" Gabrielle asked.

"Chess," he grinned.

Immediately Cammie and Zach eyed each other, their game faces already up.

"You're on."

They set up four chess boards and played their partner from Scrabble. Liz easily beat Bex, Macey won against Gabrielle, and Hale defeated Kat. It was all down to Cammie and Zach, and the others crowded around them to watch their game. Cammie moved a pawn and smirked.

"Checkmate."

Zach's jaw dropped. Everyone cheered.

"Move over lover boy, it's my turn now," Macey said, shoving him off the stool.

Liz, once again, easily beat her opponent, and Cammie had a swift victory over Macey.

"It's you and me now Bookworm."

They played for almost an hour, but not even Cammie could defeat the reigning champ. The girls hugged, and they all congratulated Liz.

"I'm tired," whined Gabrielle.

"Me too."

"Me three."

"Why don't we grab a small dinner and then go to bed?" Kat suggested.

Everyone nodded and some yawned. They ate their leftovers from lunch and then dragged themselves up the stairs to their rooms. They all said goodnight before disappearing behind their bedroom doors.

Just spies and thieves playing board games, totally normal! XP Hope you liked it, please review, and stay shiny!
