The Story of Us

Chapter 5

"What's with the face?" He asked me looking at the road ahead. With the wide smile still on my face I opened my mouth to form a response. "What face, this is my face."

"So you're saying you have a creepy Joker smile?" I laughed, the smile started to become permeant on my face. The signs are obvious, he's been stealing my jewelry, working late hours, being secretive. All I have to do is just find the hiding spot. It shouldn't be that hard, I am a trained spy after all, it was only a matter of time.

"I'm just happy" I told him playing with the hem of my dress. I have to say our relationship was great, both of us are happy and that's all that mattered.

"Ok what's on your mind? Your face is starting to creep me out" I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh shut it" I told him pulling my phone out of my clutch. I texted Liz and Macey asking them what they were wearing even though we went shopping together. Sometimes we do weird things that are unexplainable and better off left unsaid.

"Rude" Josh mumbled under his breath. Once again I rolled my eyes. I remember that day. It was fun being with Josh, he made me happy, but underneath it all it was just a mask.

What I also remember was my outfit. I don't want to come off as arrogant but I looked stunning. My hair was slightly straightened leaving it in waves that fell across my shoulder. The dress itself was a one-shoulder body con black dress that hugged my curves. I wanted to go with a light blue skater dress that was sorta fancy. But Macey insisted I wear the black one and when she insists there's no turning back. I learned that the hard way. Let's just say I still have a scar.

Macey also insisted on picking out my jewelry claiming I dressed too plainly. I can't help it, that's just the way I am ever since the Gallagher Academy. Plus it helps me blend in to a crowd and I can't even begin to stress the importance of blending in. I am the chameleon after all. Anyway she gave me (more like forced) long crystal chandelier earrings, a pearl and crystal statement necklace that fit right in-between my collarbones. Thankfully she allowed me to do my own make-up and pick out my own shoes. I chose a pair of simple yet comfortable black heels. As for my make-up I put on red lipstick with black eyeliner and some mascara, nothing to extreme.

I couldn't wait to see Bex! She kept her dress a secret from all of us wanting it to be a surprise. She is almost as stubborn as Macey and maybe even more. When it comes to the two of them it's better to just go along with whatever plan they come up with for your own health.

Either way I was so happy for her! It was an important day for Bex and as one of her best friends, I was basically jumping off the walls from happiness. Her and Grant are perfect together. Their like one of those couples that want to be like with just a glance. Do you know what I mean? I liked to think that Josh and I were like that. Memories of Zach invaded my mind at that moment. I tried so hard to push them away, but they kept resurfacing. Maybe I wasn't completely over Zach as I thought I was.

Changing the subject to Liz and Macey they were happy well actually there were more than happy. Things were going well for them. Liz was in a healthy relationship with a Blackthorne boy named Jonas. I think he was at the Gallagher/Blackthorne exchange. Anyway they met while they were working on a lab project that dealt with genes. Apparently they became Goode friends (what's with these Zach references?) and eventually developed a crush on each other. However both of them were too shy to admit it. After some heavily persuasion from myself he asked her out and they've been going out ever since. Like Bex and Grant, they looked so cute together.

Macey, on the other hand, started dating Preston right after we defeated the circle. Right now I think they were on a 'break' or had an argument or something. I know 2 things for sure, 1 being that she refused to tell us what the fight was about, and 2 being that they were crazy in love. Preston has changed a lot from when Macey and I saved him from that roof-top all those years ago. For one thing he got a lot muscular (like Josh had). They have an honest relationship with him knowing about us being spies and all because I told him when I was in Rome.....The thing sometimes they get into small arguments and stay away from each other for a few days then go back to each other and forget what they were even fighting about. It's a weird cycle. But I can't judge. Josh and I weren't perfect, sure we got into fights, however they weren't that bad and we always made up at least a day later.
