"Shake it Up!" does not belong to me. If it did Logan would be in every upcoming episode. Here is Cece's POV.


"He's going to be here any minute", I grumbled.

Any woman would be glad to have a boyfriend that loves to be on time but it's not so great when you can't find the right shoes to wear.

"Why don't you wear the black heels with the t-strap?" I heard Rocky ask from my speaker phone.

I studied myself in the mirror. It had been months since Logan and I have gone out on a real date. My latest show closed last night and I think that it was really time for me to take a break. Tonight was the night that I was going to tell this to Logan. I hated being away from him and as much as I love to perform, it doesn't even compare to him.

"I think you're right", I said as I held the shoes up to my simple white dress. "He does like it when I keep it simple."

"So, are you nervous at all?"

I could hear the smile in her voice "Why should I be?"

"Seriously, Dina, Tinka, and I have been on ring watch since Logan made the full move to NY" she said, exasperated. "So any signs of it happening soon?"

It was an interesting thought. Logan and I had talked about marriage and I was all for starting a life with him. But was he really planning anything? The thought sent my heart into a sprint. I have to calm down before my face melts off. It's a good thing I left my hair straight otherwise my curls would have fallen flat in the past minute.

"We've talked about it but I don't know if he's going to ask me yet", I tried to put on my heels, both of my hands shaking.

"Just breathe and will you do me a favor?"

"Anything, you know that", I placed a diamond earring in each ear.

"Just because you are wearing a white dress and might get a ring tonight does not mean elope to Vegas. Please don't deny my need to be your Maid of Honor", she topped her guilt trip off with some fake crying. "Think of the children, Cece."

I picked up my phone, turning off the speaker and held it to my ear. "Rocky, your acting has gotten better but the fake crying could use a little work. Also, if I were to elope, what children would I be harming?"

"Deuce and Dina's. You know they'll go to any occasion that has cake and what better excuse for cake is there than your wedding?"

I could hear her laughing as if she had never said anything more funny. I couldn't help but join in. With her all the way in L.A. ,we didn't get a lot of time like this anymore. Sometimes I just needed my best girlfriend.

We came down from our laughing jag and I promised her, " I will not elope if I get a ring tonight even though I do look pretty wedding worthy."

"That's all I ask", she laughed. "Now that your show is done, you should come down and visit. It's been a while and you can even bring your hubby-to-be if you want."

I ignored the hubby-to-be comment, " I will definitely visit." I heard my doorbell ring in the background. "That's Logan. If, and I do mean if, something happens I will call you and tell you everything."

"Good, now you two kids go have fun but don't do anything that I wouldn't do. Bye."

I gave my goodbye as well before the line went dead. I went over to my mirror and smoothed down my dress and hair before I practically sprinted to my front door. I opened the door to reveal Logan in a tailored, black suit with a matching tie. I had barely taken in the sight of him when I jumped into his arms wrapping mine around him.

"I missed you, too", he said with a surprised laugh.

I pulled away and gave him a proper greeting of a soft kiss on his lips. His arms tightened around me, as if he was afraid that I would float away. I grabbed my bag from the small table next to the door.

"We should go before I start wanting to have a night in", I laugh.

He motions for me to exit first and I enter in the hallway as he locks up behind us. He grasps my hand as we make our way down to the first floor. I would never let go, if he would let me. I loved him more than I've ever loved anyone.

As we slid into the back of the taxi, I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He turned to face me, "What was that for?"
"Because I love you and you look so handsome tonight", I tweaked his tie for good measure.

He stroked the back of my thumb as he stared at me intently. "You look gorgeous tonight."

I kissed him as a sign of my thanks and we settled into a content silence. The guy who who could drive me crazy when we were in high school was now driving me crazy in a totally different way. I never even saw it coming but no else did either. It was as if someone had this completely planned out.

Our cab pulled up to a tall, brick building in SoHo. It was hard to tell what could be going on inside. He offered me a hand as we stepped out in front of the building. This has been the most secretive that he had ever been and he had yet to succeed in surprising me. Tonight felt like it might change that.

He lead me to the two wide doors and then turned back to me with a look of worry on his face. He had been completely fine on the ride over. What was he freaking out about?

"I know that look. What are you Overthinking now?" I stroked the side of his face with my free hand, hoping to comfort him.

He leaned into the palm of my hand, "I'm going to lead you inside but you have to keep your eyes closed until I say you can open them."

As anxious as I was to see what he had planned, I shut my eyes and nodded my head. I felt him grasp my hand from his face and lightly pull me inside. I heard the screeching of the metal doors as they shut behind us. Suddenly I feel the ground disappear from under me and I'm in Logan's arms. I gave out a small scream but kept my eyes shut.

"I guess I should have warned you", I felt his body shake with a light laugh.

I felt my body being placed on something soft before I could respond. I felt around with my hands but all I felt was softness all around me. He told me to open my eyes and as I did it looked like pure heaven. The large room that we were in was full of small tea lights, giving the room a soft glow. I was laying on a bed of soft black and white pillows and a small table stood behind it held a projector. The large wall in front of us has a large, theatre like scrim with the projector's light currently focusing on it.

He lay down next to me as I slid over to rest my head next to his.

"I thought that we could watch a few of your favorite movies. I know how much you wish you could watch some of the classics.", he whispered.

I kissed him, hard. If I didn't I was going to start crying and the last thing I wanted to do was make him feel like he had done something wrong. When I pulled away from him, I knew that I had to tell him about my earlier epiphany. If I didn't do it now, I would lose my train of thought.

"I love that you did this but do you think that I can just talk to you for a second?" I tried to keep composed but the fact that I was about to pour my heart out wasn't helping.

"Sure. Is everything okay?" He grasped my hand tightly, intertwining his fingers with mine. He was so good and making me feel safe.

"Everything is great but my show closing last night got me thinking about the near future. I love performing but I don't like not being able to see you." I could see that he was about to say something but I held a finger to his lips. " This has been our first real date in eight months and don't think that I didn't notice that you were cutting back your business trips. That's something that you did for me and I want to take a break now for you. I love you and I want to dedicate more time to you."

He didn't say anything, he just wrapped me in his arms. The only sound in the room was our steady breathing. Finally he spoke.

"I love you and thank you for taking a break for me." He paused and heaved a sigh. "Can I tell you something?"

I pulled away so that I could look him in the eyes, "You can tell me anything."

The air in the room was thick with nervous tension. Logan was always confident but this man laying next to me wasn't like Logan at all. He looked scared and had a look of panic in his eyes. What I am in for right now?
