Chapter Sixteen: Me and You Together!
At Beach House:
By the time the seven of them return to the beach house, it's already almost midnight. Since they had such a long day, they have decided that they will rest in bed until noon, tomorrow.
"Cece, why don't you take a shower first? And I will put away our stuff." Rocky suggested after she and Cece entered their bedroom.
Cece nodded and pick up her pajamas, which was a Christmas gift from Rocky when they were fifteen, and headed into the shower while Rocky put away their sweaty clothes and make up bags.
Twenty minutes later, Cece had finish taking a shower and now she's sitting on her bed, drying her wet hair.
Suddenly, Cece's phone rang.
'Meet me at the balcony in five. Love you, Logan'
"Rocky! I'm going out for a sec, don't wait for me, ok?" Cece shouted to Rocky who was now in the bathroom taking a shower.
"Ok! Don't stay out too long." Rocky warned.
"Got it! See you!" Cece shouted back.
On the Balcony:
In the middle of the balcony, laid a big piece of picnic blanket on the floor and by the corner of the blanket, stood a bucket of ice and two cups of wine glass. In the bucket of ice, there was a bottle of champagne. Logan took out his iPhone to play some romantic song and placed it in the middle of the blanket, next to a lit candle. The whole balcony was now filled with invisible pink heart bubbles.
He took one last look at around to make sure everything is settled. After checking, all he has to do is to wait for her leading lady to appear to share the moment with her.
When Cece opened the door, her eyes went wide and froze. Logan, who was standing by the door, saw Cece's reaction and chuckled. He held out his hand towards Cece and bend down.
"May I?" Logan asked politely.
Cece smiled brightly at him and gently rest her hand on Logan's palm.
Together, they waltzed around the picnic blanket for a little while. Suddenly, Logan gentle push Cece out of his arms and pull her close again, with Cece's back touching his chest.
"Do you like it?" Logan whispered into Cece's ear while standing behind her.
"I love it!" Cece said very softly with a shiver running down her spine. She felt the heavy breathe of her boyfriend tickle her ears in a way that made her melt into his arms as her knees start buckle.
"Come, take a sit!" Logan stopped dancing and took Cece's hand.
Together they walked over to the picnic blanket. Logan let Cece lay on his chest as he took out another blanket and laid it over Cece, to keep her warm.
Cece laid with her eyes close, listening to Logan's steady heartbeat.
"Why did you prepare all this?" Cece asked after a minute of silence.
"We did not have any alone time since we came to Miami and I really wanted to celebrate for your successful performance tonight." Logan explained softly into Cece's ear.
Cece giggled as she suddenly felt her ear tickling, she opened her eyes and up into the sky.
Tonight was really a very beautiful night, the sky is clear of clouds with bright, sparkling stars and in the middle of the sky; a full bright moon shines towards them.
Cece smiles and said, "You know that's not true! We took a walk together by the beach the other day."
"That cannot count as a date, Cece! That, to me, seems more like an interrogation. Our date should be romantic, a time of only me and you in it." Logan objected.
Cece giggled even more, she cupped her hands on Logan's, which was tight on her waist but did not reply to Logan's objection.
"Are you thirsty?" Logan asked.
Cece slowly sat up and nodded her head. Logan smirked and took out the champagne bottle to pour the liquor into the two wine glasses.
"Cheers!" Cece and Logan both raise their glass at each other before taking a slip.
"When did you buy this champagne?" Cece asked, curious.
"Yesterday, when you were in the Dance Studio, I took a walk around the building and saw a liquor shop. I want to celebrate this moment with you alone so I secretly bought a bottle there before returning to Austin's rehearsal." Logan explained.
Cece grin wider as she leaned towards Logan to give him a kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you!" Cece whispered to him before leaning her back onto Logan's chest again.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Logan asked as he took another slip of his champagne.
"It was terrific! When I'm stage with Rocky, it felt like the world is concentrated on us. It really felt amazing! I cannot believe so many people loved our performance…" Cece went on and on, on how amazing tonight was to her.
Logan smiled as he listened to Cece describe tonight's experience; he is truly very happy for his love. He knows this is the dream that Cece have since she was little.
"… It really felt like I'm really me when I'm on stage! Logan, tonight really was a dream come true to me." Cece continued.
"Tonight was indeed a fantastic one for me too. Cece, I am really very happy for you!" Logan said.
"I know, Logan! This is really a huge step for me to achieving my dream." Cece exclaimed.
"It really does seem like your future is very bright for you! I am really happy for you, my love!" Logan added before leaning down to Cece to kiss her.
For the rest of the night, Cece and Logan sat on the balcony cuddling and taking about the concert, their future and all kinds of things that happened during their vacation, while drinking champagne under the beautiful night sky. Tonight's conversation truly brought the two of them closer to each other.
In Family Room:
The next day, Logan and Cece woke up the earliest among the seven of them. They had spent the night on the balcony so when they woke up, they quickly clear the empty champagne bottle and blanket before heading back to their room to change.
By the time they were sitting in the family room of the beach house, it's already almost twelve noon. They decide to order some pizza for lunch while waiting for the rest to wake up. An hour later, the pizzas have arrived so they sat on the couch while enjoying a cheese pizza together.
"Morning, you two love birds!" Rocky greeted cheerfully as she appeared on the stairs with Ty, Deuce and Dina.
"Good morning, guys!" Cece and Logan greeted.
"Dude! Thanks for the pizzas! I'm starving now!" Ty exclaimed when he saw pizza boxes being laid on the coffee table in the family room.
The four of them quickly sat down around the coffee table, all reaching out for pizzas.
"Where's Tinka?" Cece asked when she realized someone is missing.
"She's still in the bathroom." Dina said with an annoyed tone.
Everyone chuckled at Dina's comment on Tinka.
"So… What should we do today?" Deuce asked.
"Beach!" Rocky and Cece half-shouted at the same time.
Cece and Rocky looked at each other and giggled, as they both have the same idea in mind.
"Dude, what do you say?" Ty asked Logan and Deuce.
Logan and Deuce exchange glances at each other and said, "Sure!"
"What do you guys want to do on the beach?" Dina asked.
Rocky and Cece exchange glances at each other again and shouted, "Volleyball!"
"Zam! That is a great idea! We can have a friendly volleyball match on the beach!" Logan agreed.
"Shall we call Austin and Ally?" Deuce asked.
Ty nodded his head and said, "Why don't we give them a call and ask…."
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong… Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rung and interrupted Ty before he can finish.
"I'll get it!" Ty announced as he got up and reached for the door.
"Hey guys!" Austin and Ally greeted them cheerfully when Ty opened the door, with Dez and Trish behind them.
"Dude! Perfect timing! We were about to give you guys a call." Ty exclaimed.
Austin's eyes widen and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ty chuckled at Austin's reaction and said, "Relax, dude! We were about to go to the beach so we wanted to ask you if you guys want to join us."
Ally chuckled and asked, "I see! What you guys plan to do on the beach?"
"We wanted to have a friendly match of beach volleyball." Logan said.
"Sweet! We can head back to get our things then we'll be back in an hour?" Ally asked.
"I know! We can all go to the 'Shredders Beach Club', there's an ice tea bar, volleyball courts and even places for you girls to tan under the sun!" Austin suggested.
Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
"Cool! We'll be back!" Austin said, trying to be mysterious.
Everyone chuckled at Austin reaction. After Austin and the others left, Tinka finally appeared at the family room.
"I'm here!" Tinka announced.
Everyone just rolled their eyes and continue eating their pizzas.
"Great! I'm hungry!" Tinka said and ignored their reaction, as she reached out for a slice of pizza.
"We will be heading down to the beach for the day! Will you be joining us?" Ty asked.
"Sure! Why not!" Tinka replied.
Soon, they finished the pizzas and quickly packed the rubbish before heading back to their room to wash up and change.
In Cece and Rocky's bedroom:
"Last night, I woke up at two in the morning to use the bathroom and you weren't in bed. Where were you?" Rocky asked Cece, whose back was facing her, as they packed their beach stuff.
Cece stunned for a minute and stammered "Urg… Urg…Urg… I was…"
Cece's pupil start to move around, trying to look for an excuse to cover up as she don't want Rocky to know she spent the night with Logan even if they did not really do anything. Suddenly, an excuse started to fade into her mind.
"I fall asleep on the couch in the family room while watching the late night movie!" Cece blurted as she turned around to face Rocky.
Rocky raised an eye brow and asked, "What were you doing in the family room so late at night?"
Cece thought for a second and said, "I wanted to call my mom, but no one picked up so I thought she may be still at work. So I decide to wait for a bit before calling her again but I fall asleep on the couch before I tried to call her."
Rocky nodded her head and said, "I see! Do you want to call your mom now?"
"Na! She's probably still sleeping so I don't want to wake her." Cece said.
"Ok!" Rocky replied, feeling a bit weird about Cece sudden craving to talk to her mother but did not say anything.
Cece turned to face her back at Rocky and secretly signed in relieve. That was very unusual of Rocky to not see through her lies but she was just glad that she doesn't have to talk to Rocky about her last night with Logan. Even though Rocky is cool with Logan and her dating now but Logan is still Rocky's ex, it's best to not complicate things among the three of them.
In Family Room:
Around an hour later, Cece and Rocky appeared in the family room. They were the first two to appear so they sat on the couches and started talking about shopping in Miami.
"Ally told me that there will be a sale at a super cute clothes store in Mall, should we check it out?" Rocky asked.
"Definitely! I have saved up money to do shopping during our vacation! When should we go? We should ask the girls later?" Cece asked as her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"That was a wonderful idea!" Dina replied as she appeared in the family room.
"Hey Dina!" Cece and Rocky greeted.
"So it's settled, we will ask the others later!" Rocky announced.
"What's wrong with the guys? It's so unusual of them to take such a long time to get ready." Cece asked.
"Sorry, we were looking for our leg leash." Ty said as he appeared in the family room with Deuce and Logan beside him.
"It's ok, besides we were still waiting for Tinka too… again!" Dina groaned.
Everyone laughed at Rocky's reaction but no one can rebut Rocky's very true sentence.
Soon, Tinka appeared in the family room and together the seven of them leaved the beach house and head towards the beach.
