I Missed You

Chapter 1

"Come on, we have to find a costume before they're sold out of everything!"

"Bex, give it a rest, we aren't going to find anything."

It's been two years since we defeated the Circle. Macey, Bex, Liz, and I are now attending NYU to get a chance to live the college life for four years. We were invited to a Halloween party tonight at this rich kids house; Bex had insisted on cheesy costumes, but that was where I had to draw the line. It's not like she has anyone to impress, she was now dating Grant who was on a mission somewhere in Africa for training. Macey hadn't talked to Nick in weeks but I think that has to do with the fact that there are so many hotties on campus. Liz was talking to a guy she was lab partners with and I was well, single.

Zach and I had broken up several months after we finished off the Circle. Things just weren't the same anymore. I needed a stable relationship after everything I had found out and he wasn't providing that; I knew I needed to move on. He left without saying a word; slamming the door of the safe house we were staying at just incase any remaining Circle members launched an attack. Once we broke up I changed. I was more outgoing and I guess you could say flirtatious, but not a whore, according to Macey. I was even dressing differently. My boobs had finally come in fully, that was probably the best part; I now had a C-cup! I spent a long while thinking about what I had become and I realized I was turning into Zach. I was cocky and smirked and smiled at boys I was interested in. I guess you could say he rubbed off on me. I haven't seen Zach since we broke up... I still have flashbacks of our relationship of all the times we had together, and damn did I miss that. But being here in New York was opening up so many doors. Like the Halloween party we were going to, the owner personally said he wanted to meet me there! Bex and Macey totally freaked out when I told them(unwillingly, there was quite a lot of threatening involved).

"Hurry up you guys I have to turn in my paper before we go to the party!" Liz whined.

"Since when do you wait the last minute to turn in something?" I asked he with a face full of disbelief.

"Since Alex took me to get coffee!" She hissed, sounding slightly defensive as a blush crept on her face .

Bex just laughed at her while she opened the door to the last costume store we could find. The shelves we obviously empty.

"Dammit!" Bex shrieked in her British accent, punching a wall.

"Bex!" I snapped slinging a sombrero on the nail above the new hole in the wall.

"Sorry..." Her voice trailing off while she picked up some drywall.

"Oooh Macey's calling!" Said Liz as she shushed my scolding.

There were a few mumbles of "yeah" and "okay", then with a smile on her face she hung up.

"Macey found costumes!"

"Yes!" Bex shouted as she sprinted to the door and started waving down a cab.

Liz and I quickly followed her out and hopped in the car. Bex already told the driver to take us to the very large and expensive house Macey had forced her parents to buy her for all of us to share, complete with an indoor pool and a home theater. We wove in and out of traffic with Bex's foot tapping in anticipation. We finally passed through the tall gates of the mansion and before we even stopped Bex was out of the cab. Liz paid the driver and we walked up the stairs to what seemed like Christmas for a hooker. Macey had bought lingerie of all colors and laid them out all over the living room, Bex was already laying on floor on her back with her legs in the air pulling on black fishnet thigh-highs.

"What the hell, Macey?" I stammered looking around.

"Well we have to look hot." She said, quite pleased with herself.

"What are these..?" Said Liz pulling out a pair of animal ears from a bag.

"Um, accessories?" Macey answered with a smirk, flooding in memories of Zach smirking at me thousands of times.

"You okay, Cam?" Liz asked.

"Yeah, fine." Pulling my eyes off the floor and waving away images.

"Oh she's just imagining how sexy she will look tonight!" Bex announced sarcastically, turning around to show off her purple, black, and white corset. She was smoothing out her fishnets and stepping into some five inch heels.

"Ta-da!" She exclaimed.

"Sexy!" Macey said walking around her, perfecting everything and tightening her corset. "Hmm... Take these."

Macey picked up the bag of animal ears and pulled out a pair of bunny ears and a cottonball tail. Bex put them on and posed in the mirror. We all laughed and Macey helped us find what fit and looked best for our figures. Before we could comment she hurried us to our rooms to take showers so she could do our hair and makeup before the party.

She put Liz up to straightening her hair while she came and decided what to do with mine. Eventually she decided on making it look purposely messy. If Macey hadn't gotten ready before we got there we wouldn't be able to get to the party at a reasonable time. She left me to get dressed and rushed off to Bex's room to put Bex's dark hair into curlers. I pulled on a black and blue corset with a sea green bow on the front. Macey had also bought me black fishnets and five inch heels. I looked over on my pillow and saw black cat ears and a tail, I put them and looked in the mirror. I giggled at myself, then Macey called us all into her room and she did our makeup. She worked quick but with swift, careful movements to get us to the party on time. I was done first so I helped Liz finish her hair while she pulled her laptop out to turn in her paper.

Liz was wearing a pink, white, and deep red corset with matching red thigh-highs. Macey made sure not to put clumsy Liz in too tall heels, because if she did we would hear too many "oopsie daisy"'s at the party. She had on some kind of dalmatian ears that seemed to complete her outfit in a strange way. Macey had done a full makeup job with white and red eye shadow and red lips. Bex was done minutes later and put on her bunny ears. Her hair was now curly and she had jet black eye shadow. We all looked at ourselves in the mirror while Macey got dressed.

"Hot damn." I looked, having to catch my breath for a second. I had blue and sea green eye shadow to match my lingerie and black eyeliner vividly outlining my eyes.

"Bloody hell..." Bex said, leaning forward to look at her makeup. "I look good!"

We laughed and Macey walked out. She was wearing adorable mouse ears over her straightened choppy hair. Her eyes had black and gray eye shadow and had dramatic red lips. Her corset was black, gray, and yellow. She had ripped fishnets and tall heels.

"Why are you wearing yellow?" Liz asked looking at Macey completely puzzled.

"Well Halloween is all about dressing up like something you're not." She smiled flashing her perfect teeth and walked down the hall to the stairs. We followed and Liz picked up the phone to call a cab.

"You don't need to." Bex hung up the phone. She took a pair of keys off the counter and we went into the garage after her.

"Ooooh" Liz said in awe.

We came face to face with a red convertible. Thank the Lord Bex had semi-mastered driving as she slipped into the front seat. We piled in and she pulled out and started heading to the party dodging cars like a maniac. The house we were going to wasn't in a neighborhood, it was partially in the middle of nowhere; but was still located on mildly busy street. Bex pulled off into the yard due to how many cars were already here, we got out and saw half the party was in the front yard. Kevin, the guy who lived here, whistled and put drinks in our hands.

"Damn, you guys know how to dress up." He said, winking at me. I smiled back automatically.

Kevin was incredibly cute, definitely mastering the All-American look. His shaggy blonde hair complemented his eyes and quite fit figure. He wore preppy clothes but he wasn't stuck up. He was the most down to earth person I had met in New York so far. We had a Portuguese language class together; little did he know that I was fluent in Portuguese already. He was completely helpless in class though, I promised to tutor him after he failed our first three tests. Those tutor sessions in the library had led to dinner and a movie, which was extremely enjoyable. When he took me home he planted a kiss on my lips that I couldn't refuse. Even though I was totally interested in him something was holding me back, I think he noticed that too. So I knew he was going to try his best to impress me tonight.

"Care for a tour, beautiful?" He stuck his arm out.

"Absolutely." I flashed a smile and wrapped my arm around his.

We walked all through his house. He showed me the manly rooms like the gym and arcade.

"Close your eyes."

I did what I was told. He pulled me through a door and the smell of his cologne filled my nose as he set me on a bed. This must be his room...

"Don't open them yet." He said with a hint of seductiveness.

"Okayyy." Turning on the most adorable voice I could retort.

"And, open."

My eyes flickered open to find him holding a envelope with "Round 2" written on the front. I unfolded the paper to find a gift card to one of the most expensive restaurants in town.

"I'd love too." I answered and kissed him. He pulled me off the bed and put his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. He began to run his fingers through the ends of my hair. I let him take control as his tongue entered my mouth, moving around in the most tempting movements. His grasp became tighter and his kiss was becoming more fierce. After ten minutes we strained away, pulling in deep hurried breaths. I relaxed my head onto his chest, that was rapidly moving up and down.

"We should-" I pulled air deep into my lungs."-probably go back outside." I looked at him and smiled.

"Do we have to?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."I said in a childish voice and stuck out my tongue. I slipped my hand into his and dragged him out of his room and back outside.

The two of us were back outside, and I started talking to some girls I knew that I had a class with when something caught my eye. Someone was jogging down the sidewalk. The guy had dark hair, impressive muscles, and his emerald eyes were sparkling in the light that the house was radiating. He was easily a foot taller than I was and his features looked like they were carved by angles; with a perfectly chiseled jaw. My eyes grew wide and I stopped myself from letting my mouth gape open. This was not the night I had in mind. I had no intentions of seeing this boy anytime soon; and that is because this boy was none other that Zachary Goode.
