Chapter 12: Operation Laleb

Cecilia's POV

Today I woke up with extra determination. I have set a goal for myself that I need to achieve soon, preferably today.

What's that goal you may ask?

I need to get Lily and Caleb together ASAP. Operation Laleb is on and I am determined to make it happen.

One reason why is because I had enough of the longing and lovesick looks they keep giving each other whenever they think no one is watching. I mean what's holding them back from being together, I sure as hell know I'm not. In fact, I believe that I am the biggest Laleb shipper there is. I also believe that their ship is ready to sail but all they need is a little nudge.

I have a plan on how to get the two love birds together but I will need the help of both Chase and Vic. If I play my cards right they might be together by the end of the day!

Last night, before I went to sleep and after Vic's little breakdown over One Direction, I searched my room for the walkie-talkie set I begged my dad for when I was 12. What? I'm treating Operation Laleb as a mission. This is serious.

Also, we can't use our phones.. I ran out of credit after the long conversation I had with gran about how to make my favourite apple and cinnamon pie. It took me half an hour to convince her to tell me the recipe and another half an hour on the importance of sieving the flower with the sugar, not separately. I don't even know...

Anyway, after I found the walkie-talkie set, I sneaked one each to Chase and Vic. I also left them a note which tells them about our code names.

"Directioner Prince, do you copy? Have you woken?" I ask Vic through the walkie-talkie, still in my room and dressed and ready for the day. Like any real spy would, I am dressed in black from head to toe.

"I have woken Oreo Queen. I'm awaiting for orders."

"Good. Stay at your post on the couch and continue to await orders." I say with all seriousness. "Silly Goose, do you copy? Have you woken?" I ask Chase this time on the walkie-talkie.

"Why is my code name Silly Goose?" Chase asks, sounding slightly pissed.

"Because it was two in the morning when I thought of the code names." I say in my defence. "Also geese are in fact very adorable!"

"Oh, so you think I'm adorable.." I can hear the smirk in his voice.

"Exactly! Wait, no I mean no! That's not what I meant! I don't even know any more.."

"Okay okay, whatever you say." he says, most likely still smirking. "At least my code name isn't Directioner Prince."

"HEY! I have the sassiest code name in the history of code names!" Vic butts into our conversation.

"Excuse me!! I have the sassiest code name and we all know it!!" I point out. "Have you been listening to our conversation all along?"

"Yes I have. There is no time for flirting today you love birds!! We need to focus on Operation Laleb so stop it!"

"We weren't flirting.." I say quietly but they both still heard me.

"I think we were Cupcake." Chase teases. Again with that stupid nickname! I just want to shove a cupcake in his face!

"Stop calling me Cupcake!! Why are you even doing that?"

"No can do.. Cupcake." I can hear that smirk in his voice again. "And I'm doing it because I feel like it."

"Will you guys stop flirting so we can focus on the mission already!" Vic butts in again. "And before I puke!"

"You're right Vic. The mission is our top priority today so do we all know the plan?" I ask as I get back into serious mode. In reply I hear a 'yes' from both Chase and Vic.
