Disclaimer : I still own nothing Zoey101 .

Logan Reese , I demand to know where you are taking me ' demanded Quinn Pensky , poking her finger playfully in her boyfriends toned bi-cep ,' We haven't seen each other in months , this is the first day of our summer together , and we're driving on the PCH towards some unknown destination .'

She crinkled her nose in thought .' We'd better not be going to P.C.A.'

Logan laughed , his blue eyes twinkling with amusement .' Babe, relax . We're away from all of our college drama , we're together , and I want to take my special lady ..well, someplace really special '

Quinn sighed as she leaned towards Logan , resting a hand on his thigh. ' I really have missed you, Logan . Talking on the phone and video chatting is just not the same as being together '

While Quinn was studying science at one of the most note able colleges in the country ., Logan was busy studying film in Boston , the distance could be trying at times on their relationship but they worked hard at it . Nightly phone calls, video chats , racking up the frequent flyer miles to visit each other for a week , had only proven how strong their love for each other was and the strength of their relationship .

Now it was the summer and they would be spending all of it together .

It was utter heaven .

Logan slid an arm around her as he drove , the wind blowing their hair , the warm California sun shining down on them as they passed the beach across from their old boarding school where it all began at - the friendships and their surprise love .

' I missed you too ' replied Logan, leaning over slightly to kiss her brown hair ,' we could probably swing in PCA for a visit if you want . Might be fun to freak out Dean Rivers and we could check out our bench, Quinn '

' As appealing as that walk down memory lane sounds , I don't think so ' dismissed Quinn , snuggling closer to her boyfriend ,' Logan, as awesome as whatever this surprise of yours might be , I'd be just as happy if we just went back to your house and spent time together ' She dropped a light kiss on his arm ,' before everyone else gets in ..'

' Don't tempt me , Quinn ' Though there was nothing Logan wanted more than showing Quinn how much he loved her , he had been planning this date for months and changed his mind on getting it right a dozen times . Thank God he had gotten better will power over the years because he was literally dying and couldn't let his girl aware of it either ,' trust me on this , baby . Besides the whole gang will be getting in by the time we get to Santa Barbara and Chase and Zoey's wont get in from Paris for a couple hours yet .'

' I still cannot believe those two have been married a whole year now '

' Yeah, it's pretty cool that Zoey didn't meet some suave Parisian dude and divorce Chase ' Logan couldn't resist the barb on his best friends, ' joking '

Quinn narrowed her eyes at him. ' Be nice .'

' I am being nice ,' Logan pulled into a parking spot cutting the engine ,' we're here '

Quinn's eyes lit up behind her at the familiar restaurant an d the sight of their first real date back in high school . It was still the best five star restaurant in Malibu and brought to mind to her , laughter and Logan ordering five lobsters because he knew they were her favorites. Then the unexpected arrival of their friends to ruin the romantic of it followed by their second attempt in which Logan had ordered a private table just for them .

' Vaccaro's '

Quinn unbuckled her belt and moved swiftly into his arms, lips meeting his in a overwhelming , passionate kiss, as she touched his face, lightly , while he pulled her close as the they could get in the sports car . It was need, heat, passion, and love molded deeply into a kiss that spun all around them making them oblivious to the world itself .

It didn't matter that they were essentially making out in the middle of the parking lot like randy teenagers instead of the mature adults they had become or that an older , distinguished looking couple dressed to the nines looked at them with disdain, Quinn and Logan were lost in their love for one another .

Quinn sighed and pulled slightly away from him with a giggle ,' Mmm, wow '

Logan gave her glasses a gentle push and kissed her brow .' Wow works plus you didn't kick me with your heel this time ' he flashed her a flirtatious grin that always made her heart flutter ,' I had Maurice reserve us a private room , Quinn '

Quinn laughed at the reminder and couldn't resist running a hand through his newly shorter copper curls . He still looked like a California golden man but the new hair cut made him look even more handsome and even sexier to her .

' I like this new hair cut, sweetie . Very sexy '

Logan kissed her again .' Yeah, well, I got tired of being called Surfer dude when I was interning that short film in Boston . I thought they might take me more serious if I changed things up a bit ' He didn't bother mentioning having to fight the nepotism jabs that he faced at film school daily but he figured that went with the territory of being the son of Malcolm Reese . Now wasn't the time to delve into that with Quinn so Logan put it aside and focused his attention on her now ,' but if it makes my woman happy, that is even better '

Quinn wrinkled her nose and brushed a lock of hair off his forehead .' Do you want to talk about that, Logan ? '

Logan shook his head.' No, baby, I do not ,' stated Logan , getting her back on track ,' c'mon , let's go inside '

Quinn glanced down at her short green dress with the embroidery on the neckline and the cap sleeves then at her gold sandals with a slight frown .' Honey, I'm a little on the casual side for Vaccaro's since you didn't give me a hint of where you were taking me . This dress is alright for hanging at your house or the beach but it's not fancy '

' You look beautiful ' Logan grabbed his tan jacket from the back of the seat and slid into it ' If Maurice complains , I'll have Julia fire him since she is his boss now '

His step-mother had grown bored of her career as an interior designer and had wanted a change of pace . After taking a few classes and a discussion with the owner of Vaccaro's who was a family friend, Julia was now a manager of the restaurant .

' Julia wouldn't do that '

' She might because she adores you and me together ' Placing a hand on the small of her back, Logan led her into the restaurant ,' she's made some pretty cool changes to this place '

Rich wood and warm lighting set the mood of the upscale dining room , crisp white linens and fresh flowers greeted the guests while lovely landscapes by local artists graced the walls . Soft, melodic music was piped in and the ambiance soothed .

Maurice , the snobby maitre de, held his spot at the desk , the short man hadn't changed much , his dark suit was impeccable as always , his tie a perfect wisdor knot , and he recognized the couple instantly and was on alert .

They were no longer the obnoxiously loud teenagers who with their friends had disrupted his restaurant one evening a few years back that he recalled clearly though these two still looked very much in love .

' Mr. Reese , hello . I have your table ready ' He grabbed the newly embossed menus and led them past the main dining room into a much smaller , more intimate room where a elegant table was set for two ,' I hope this meets your needs '

A single table , candles glowed in a silver holder, and a beautiful red rose lay awaiting Quinn while the familiar strains of' ' I Miss You ' played just for them . It took Quinn back to dancing in a closet, Logan surprising her with a flower , and then last but not least, the nervousness and expectation of their second attempt here together .

Her clarity of realizing that she , Quinn Pensky had fallen head over heels , hopelessly , madly in love with Logan Reese .

' It's wonderful '

Maurice disappeared to make things happen as Logan pulled out the chair for Quinn . She picked up the rose inhaling its sweet scent as he whispered in her ear .' I love you '

Quinn smiled up at him .' I love you, too '

She twirled the rose and gazed at him as he took a seat across from her . ' This is so sweet of you, Logan . God, I remember our second date here as if it was yesterday , how nervous I was even though we'd been a couple for months , and how much I so wanted to tell you that I loved you but I was afraid '

Logan kissed her knuckles .' I about told you while we were dancing but I think I was freaked that might change your mind about me '

' Never ' insisted Quinn , laying the rose down on the table ,' and can we please agree not to rehash prom night . Let's make it all good '

Neither of them wanted to relieve the terrible incident with the psychopath who had went after the couple on prom night who had been obsessed with having Quinn and becoming Logan . It had been a harrowing experience that they had survived together and during that the first time they had admitted their love for one another .

' I hope you don't mind , Quinn, but I took the liberty of ordering all of your favorites ,' admitted Logan , tugging at the collar of his shirt ,' unless you don't want lobster '

' Lobster sounds delicious . When I was home , Mom is on a new kick to get Dad to eat healthier so she is putting kale and tofu into every new recipe ,' Quinn made a disgusted face ,' bring on lobster and sushi please '

Logan laughed , amused and reached inside of his pocket to check its contents . Good , it was still there . He'd considered putting it inside of the lobster or even her rose but that seemed too lame to him . Quinn appreciated romance but he didn't want to be too cheesy

.

' I can get you sushi later ,' replied Logan, pausing to take a sip of the water ,' you know what, Quinn, I sort of think of this as like the scene of the crime since we had our first real , official date here . '

God, scene of the crime ? Had he really just said that to her .

Logan had considered all of their private spots on the campus of P.C.A - right down to the bench where they shared their first kiss but somehow , it felt not as private . He had also thought about buying the bench from the school for Quinn until Michael pointed out that it wasn't practical or very romantic .

What would Quinn do with her own bench ?

' I think of it as our special place too, Logan , but where did you go just a minute ago ? You looked as if you were lost in thought …not thinking of some other film trollop back in Boston . Are you ? ' Though she trusted Logan, she still didn't trust those budding sexy female film makers he went to college with and it made her crazy jealous just thinking about it ,' like that ..Sophie you worked with last fall ?'

A wide , cocky grin curved around his mouth at her reaction .' I love when you get all jealous but no, Quinn, you know , there is only me for you '

Quinn's smile went all soft because she knew it were true .' I know and me for you '

Logan loosened the collar around his neck , his sudden nervousness making him sweat .

Now wasn't the time for him to get sweaty and gross , it was too important .

Squaring up his shoulders and his confidence , Logan reached across the table for her hand , smiling , when Quinn's lips lifted in a beautiful smile that made him happy just staring at her . If there had been a single moment , a shred of doubt , it all disappeared in that instant solidifying his belief that now was the right time . Right here , right now.

' Quinn, you know me , the real me like nobody ever has or will, and God, you challenge me every single day when you insist upon arguing with me .'

Quinn smothered a laugh .' Well, if you wouldn't act like an annoying jerk, Logan , I wouldn't have to argue with you . What is this all about , sweetie ? Is film school bringing out more of your sensitivity because I must say, it's nice '

I've always seen myself as a reckless gambler

Risking all that I have, whenever I could

But then one day it happened

You appeared like from a dream

And we moved in sync like dancers

With our hearts in harmony

Logan let go of her hand , reached inside his jacket , pulling out a box and then slid it in front of her . A soft gasp escaped Quinn's mouth as she pressed a hand to her heart .

Goodness it seemed like a lifetime ago they had stood under a weeping willow on the bayou weeks before Chase and Zoey got married , Logan had all but proposed .

Back then it had seemed so surreal , the timing all wrong but now she couldn't think .

With trembling hands, Quinn opened the box and a gorgeous diamond winked back at her . It wasn't huge , she didn't even register the carats , just the simplicity of the gold band and the fact that it was a square cut , which was her favorite .

All my life I've been born a hopeless romantic

Waiting for my prince to come and take me away

But when I found you, I felt different

Than I'd ever felt before

Suddenly I was taking chances

By walking through your door

' Oooooh , Logan , it's lovely ! '

Clearing his throat , Logan stood , walking around to her then got down on one knee as he wanted to do this the right way . Tears sprang to Quinn's eyes even as her heart thudded nearly out of her chest as she gazed with love at the man who had captured her heart so easily .

' Quinn Pensky, you know I'm not good with words but I know what is in my heart . You are in my heart , you make me a better man, you make me so very happy , and I love you more than anything . You give my life hope that is real .'

' Yes !'

Startled, Logan blinked and stared at her .' I didn't ask you yet ! Marry me , Quinn and make me the happiest man on the planet '

Tears of happiness flowing freely down her face as Quinn launched herself into Logan's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, the love overflowing between them .

' Yes, yes , yes ! I'll shout it to the rooftops , I will marry you, Logan Reese'

Their lips met in a slow , satisfying kiss that burned then simmered into a gentle kiss as Logan placed the diamond on her finger , dropping a kiss on top of it .

' When ? '

' Soon . I don't want to wait . The sooner , the better , Logan '

' Awesome '

With their song playing in the background , Logan slid his bride to be into a slow dance as they basked in their love unaware that his step-mother had poked her head inside the room to witness the proposal . Her own heart swelled with emotion .

' Good job, Logan '

You are my way to another world

You are the one that lets me fly so high

You are the rain when my spirits run dry

You give me a hope that's real

Cos when I'm with you, you take me away to another world
