I was practicing on the stage when Gary came up to me. "Hey CeCe can I talk to you?" He asked as he stood there by me.

"Sure." I said as I looked at him. I was so confused. I could have sworn I was here by myself.

"Let's go to my dressing room." He said as he took my hand and led me to his dressing room.

"If this is about cleaning up something that came from your dog you can count me out." I said as I looked at him as he opened the door.

"No it's nothing like that. It's a little worse." He said as he point to the sofa for me to sit down.

"Worse? Can't you get a newbie to do it?" I asked as I sat down.

"No, how old are you?" He asked me.

"Eighteen and a half." I answered. After four years of working on Shake It Up he didn't know that. No, surprise.

"Perfect, I need you to marry me." He said.

"Wait what!" I yelled as I jumped up.

"If I don't get married I will deported to Canada." He said as he grabbed me by the shoulder.

"You're from Canada?" I asked.

"Yes, but that's not important." He said as he looked at me.

"You are asking me to marry you so you can stay in the country, so yeah it's important." I said as I moved his hands.

"Please CeCe." He said as he gave me his puppy dog eyes.

"What's in it for me?" I asked.

"The dream wedding and ring, a good divorce settlement, money for college, all the spotlight dances you want, a nice place to live. How does that sound?" He asked.

"That sounds good; there is just one more thing I want." I said as I looked at him.

"Anything, as long as it stays between us that this is an arrangement." He said.

"Deal." I said as I pulled him towards the door.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"If you really fake love me, just follow and don't ask questions." I said as I grabbed my purse.

"Yes, dear." He said as I pulled him out to the parking lot. I had him take us to my apartment building, but instead of going up stairs to my apartment we went to the landlord's apartment.

"Jones what are you doing here?" Mr. Barkly said as he answered as he opened his door.

"Okay I will leave if you don't want the rent." I said as I looked at him.

"By all means come in." He said as I looked at Gary.

"Write the man a check." I said as I looked around the apartment.

"Who are you?" Mr. Barkley asked as he watched Gary fill out the check for the amount he told him.

"He is my boyfriend." I said as I wrapped my arms around Gary's waist.

"Now, honey I am more than that." Gary said with a smile. "We are getting married." He said as he looked at Mr. Barkley.

"I don't see a ring." Mr. Barkley said as he examined his check.

"He is letting me pick out the ring." I said.

"Smart man. My wife still looks at hers and sighs." Mr. Barkley said with a laugh as we walked out of the apartment.

"How many months were you behind?" Gary asked as we walked upstairs.

"Only one, maybe two." I said as I looked at him.

"Was he going to kick you out?" He asked as we walked up to the door.

"He was threatening." I said as I opened the door. "Flynn I am home!" I called as I dropped my purse by the door.

"You're late." He said as he walked into the living room.

"What you going to do sue me?" I asked.

"Maybe." He said as he looked at Gary. "What is he doing here?" He asked.

"Oh, we are dating now." I said as I walked over to the fridge.

"Mom is going to freak." Flynn said as he looked at Gary.

"Shit we are out of milk." I said as I looked in the fridge.

"Be honest with yourself. We are out of everything." Flynn said as I heard Gary walk over.

"I will take care of this." He whispered in my ear.

"You don't have to." I said as I turned around to look at him.

"I want to." He said as he leaned down.

"GROSS!" Flynn yelled.

"Hey buddy, want to go to the store with me?" Gary asked. "You can get whatever you want."

"Let's go." Flynn said as he opened the door.
