Chapter #5
"Good morning," Original Cindy said walking into the kitchen to find Bling making breakfast.
"Hey, you're up early." Bling observed pouring her some coffee.
Taking the cup, she almost drank it all in one swift gulp, "It was the enticing smell of coffee and food that woke me from the dead."
Handing her a plate of pancakes and eggs, Bling pointed to the sausage on the table, "Knock yourself out."
Savoring each bite Original Cindy sighed, "This is much better than stale corn flakes and some probationary type of milk. You can cook boo."
"You try being the youngest and only boy of 5 girls. You'd be surprised at what I can do." Bling joked flipping the last pancake and joining Original Cindy at the table.
"Well Original Cindy says that we should toast to your femininity!" she cheered raising her coffee mug.
Clinking his mugs with hers, Bling looked over her shoulder to the closed bedroom door, "Should we wake them?"
"Nah, let them sleep. So...you have sisters?"
Amused by her train of thought, Bling sipped his coffee, "Yup. Five older sisters...and five older brother-in-laws."

With morning light flooding the bedroom, Logan lay awake watching his beloved sleep in his arms. It was a rare sight that Logan awoke before Max, but he wasn't complaining. It was the small and seemingly obsolete moments with Max that Logan cherished. Holding her while she slept peacefully made his heart soar. Especially after the last 2 days. Today Zoë would come...most likely bearing bad news. His arms unconsciously became tighter around Max. He knew that he could never live without her. Logan still wanted another 100 years with the one he loved. The one who made life worth living.
"I'm not going anywhere." Max laughed when she felt his arms tighten, "Good Morning."
"A good morning it is." Logan grinned pulling her closer, "Did you sleep well?"
Snuggling in closer, Max kissed his scruffy cheek, "Only and always when in your arms."
"When did you become so sentimental?" Logan asked playing with her hair, "I like it."
Laying her head against his bare chest, she thought for a moment. "When I fell in love with you."
"So the first time you met me, huh?" Logan laughed.
Pulling herself up, Max looked him right in the eye, "You are a very confident man Logan Cale...and for your information is wasn't the first time I met you."
Raising an curious eyebrow, Logan ran his hand through her silky hair, "Oh really? Than when?"
"The second time," Max confessed, "How about you? When did you fall in love with me?"
Looking up at her thoughtfully, Logan saw his angel. Her face was glowing with happiness and love. Love for him. His own love for Max grew with every passing moment, and every passing day. Logan knew that his love for her would grow forever. Never reaching the limit...because his love for her had no limit. It went beyond the sky.
"Well?" Max asked anxiously.
Tracing her face and engraving it to memory, Logan smiled at her impatience, "Each and every time I look at you...I fall in love all over again. Every time you smile my heart soars. Each time we kiss, I'm in paradise. Whenever I'm with you, it's utopia."
Taking a shaky breath, Max looked at Logan through her misty eyes, "I have to be dreaming."
Pulling her into his arms, Logan kissed away her fresh tears. Resting his forehead against hers, Logan kissed her lightly. Letting her taste her own salty tears, "Marry me Max."
Snapping open her eyes, Max gasped in surprise. "What?"
Grinning like a jolly fool, Logan watched as her eyes filled with confusion and excitement, "Marry me?"
Stunned...shocked...scared... and perplexed at why he would want to marry her, were only a few of the reactions that Max had. Realizing that he was waiting for an answer, Max reached out and touched his scruffy face to make sure he was real. That she wasn't actually dreaming. The moment her fingers felt the texture of his face and her brain registered that this wasn't a dream, Max jumped back.
Max didn't get far, because Logan had expected that her first reaction would be to run. His arms were wrapped securely around her waist. Max could have broken out of his hold easily but she didn't. Logan took this as a good sign.
Her eyes right before his, Max saw the love in them, "Why...why me? I...you could have any...anyone you wanted."
Smiling at how she was stammering, Logan laughed, "Because I want you Max."
"You shouldn't," Max said stubbornly.
"I shouldn't?" Logan asked, trying to hide his amusement.
"I have too much baggage..."
"I don't?" Logan exclaimed cutting her off, "Remember? Me...is...Eyes Only. And that's nothing compared to my family."
Slapping his shoulder, Max shook her head, "You are doing good things. You have angry mobsters gunning your ass. I have an entire section of the government. Lydecker is always going to be looking for me. I can't do that to you...Logan I..."
"No," Logan said firmly, "That not a good enough excuse Max."
"No?!" Max asked becoming very frustrated. Didn't he understand that she was trying to protect him? To give him a way out? "Are you joking Logan? Keeping you from landing 6 feet under is not a good enough excuse?"
"No it's not." Logan said calmly, "Don't you love me Max?"
Blinking back her sudden hot tears, Max tired to pull out of his grasp but it was in vain. Turning her head away so that he couldn't see her tears, Max held down the lump forming in the throat.
Reaching out, Logan gently took her chin and looked her in the eyes, "I love you Max. That's all that matters."
Giving into all her emotions, Max threw herself against Logan. The soldier in her told her to run and never look back, but she couldn't. Love does funny things to a person, and right now being with Logan was all that matters. Maybe she was being selfish, or maybe she wasn't. All she knew was that she was in love...and that she wanted to be in love with Logan for all of eternity.
Laughing, Logan picked her up and spun her around the room. "Should I take that as a YES?" Logan shouted.
"Yes!" Max yelled for the world to hear, "Yes I'll marry you!"
"Good," Logan said setting her back down onto the floor, "You had me worried there for a second."
Laughing, Max grabbed Logan and kissed him just as Original Cindy and Bling burst through the door.
"What the hell's going on?" both Original Cindy and Bling shouted.
Giggling, Max grabbed Logan's hand and took a deep breath, "We're getting married."
"What!" Bling blurted out, "Oh...no, I mean...wow!"
Original Cindy was shocked out of words and she simply stared at Max and Logan.
Max held her breath and squeezed Logan's hand for strength. "Cindy?"
Looking at Max for a second and than to Logan, she cheered, "Oh Original Cindy does not believe this!"
"We're serious Cindy," Logan laughed, "We are getting married."
"Oh!" she laughed throwing her arms around Max, "I am so happy for you. And you too." she said pulling Logan into a hug.
"Come here," Bling said holding his arms out to Max.
Laughing, Max threw her arms around him, "I'm so happy Bling."
"Come on now, Original Cindy wants to see the ring!"
Stopping, Max realized that she didn't have a ring. Logan saw her sudden expression and smiled. Meeting her confused look, he grabbed her hand and led her to his closet.
"Where are they going?" Bling asked looking at Original Cindy.
"His closet?" Original Cindy offered as she followed Bling.
"Logan?" Max asked as they came to a stop in his closet, "What are you doing?"
Positioning her in the middle of the room, Logan went to his sock drawer and rummaged around. Spewing socks everywhere, before finally coming to a stop. He pulled open a black velvet box.
Try her best to stifle her laughter, Max caught his face between both her hands, "Your sock drawer?"
"I knew that you would never look in there." Logan declared before getting down onto his knees.
Gasping, Max looked at him curiously, "You've already proposed...and I've already accepted."
Ignoring her Logan opened the box, "Max Guvera, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Getting down on her knees before him, Max didn't need to look at the ring to know the answer, "Yes."
Slipping the ring onto her finger, Logan felt a million different emotions reeling through. He wasn't sure what each was, but they all equaled eternal happiness.
"I love you Logan Cale," Max whispered wiping away the single tear that escaped his brilliant eyes, "throughout eternity."
Capturing her lips, Logan knew that he was in utopia. Each moment with Max was one to be treasured.
--------------
"He is so romantic," Original Cindy gushed as Bling led her to the living room. They had witnessed the whole thing, and even Cindy knew that they needed their privacy.
Nodding his head in agreement, Bling couldn't stop smiling for his two friends, "They're in love."
Both sat in respectful silence. Engulfed in their own thoughts.
"Original Cindy has one question for you."
Looking at her curiously, Bling couldn't tell what she was thinking. Her expression was one of serenity and maybe sadness. "Shoot."
A smile slowly spreading across her face and her eyes, Original Cindy took a quick glance to the bedroom, "Are you as jealous as I am?"
"Yes...if not more." Bling laughed.

Oh...did you guys like? Was it toooooo gushy? The whole declaration of love (by Logan), the ring in the sock drawer and proposing in the closet was how my ex-fiancé asked me! I know, I know, I'm only 19 and I have an ex-fiancé. Let's just say that I've lead a very interesting life so far. ;) I was happy to apply such a blissful moment in my life, with my fan fic and share with all the readers.
I want to get something out in the open. I got this e-mail from some (mean) person, asking me where I got this story. As in, asking me if I copied this story and am I writing it off as my own. I was insulated and very angry. Everything I write is mine, original. So, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I'm not going to justify one mean persons remarks by not writing or posting.
Bleh, now lets forget all about that one persons actions. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed!!! I am so ecstatic by the number of reviews. Last time I checked it was 54. I was like, 'Holy Shitters!' Wow, I am so glad that people like my writing!! Sorry if I'm babbling so much! FYI...I'll be posting the very last chapter TOMORROW! I think that I've been spending too much of my vacation with my laptop. Oh well! ;-)
