Chapter Twenty Five: Now or Never

In the Party Bus:

After Cece and Rocky was a few steps away from them, Logan let out a relieved sign.

"Phew, that was close! Thanks man, I knew it was you who asked Rocky to help." Logan said as he patted a hand on Mark's shoulder.

"Welcome, anytime man!" Mark replied.

"By the way what did you tell Rocky?" Logan asked, curiously.

"I may have given her the idea that we were talking about girls." Mark replied, smirking.

"Seriously? And Rocky did not suspect a thing?" Logan eyes widen in shock.

"Nope! It worked like a charm." Mark said as he grinned wider towards Rocky's direction.

"Zam!" Logan gasped.

At Cameo:

As the time reach closer to 11pm, people start to crowd around the entrance of Cameo, hoping to get into the night club. When they arrived, they noticed that there was already quite a long queue by the entrance. After a last check on their attire, the twelve of them alighted from the bus and headed their way towards a night at the hottest club in town.

Instead of going to the back of the queue, the twelve walked towards the bouncer since they knew that they already had a reservation, under the eyes of envy and jealous of the long queue along the entrance.

"Hi! We have a table under Austin Moon?" Austin said.

The bouncer looked down to his VIP list and said, "Let me see! … … Ah, here it is! Austin Moon! A table for twelve at the VIP section, kindly follow my colleague here and she will direct you towards your table. Enjoy your night here at Cameo!"

"Don't we have to pay for the entrance fee?" Ty asked, standing behind Austin as he remembered that he checked online and it states that entrance fee is required at Cameo.

"Oh, don't worry guys! It has been taken care of. No entrance fee is required for a VIP table as the table is required to order a drink set and under my list over here, it states that all charges will be taken care by a Mr Starr?" The bouncer replied.

"Jimmy Starr?" Everyone gasped.

"Seems to me, that's what my list told me!" The bouncer nodded his head.

Trish was the first to recover and so she quickly replied, "Thank you so much! Let's go, guys!"

The others quickly recovered and followed the waitress into the club.

In VIP section of Cameo:

In the middle of the club was a dance floor, which was bigger than a football-field, with a long, large bar along the right side of the club. Small round, tall tables and chairs are located along the border of the dance floor. Going deeper into the club was the VIP area, with two muscular bouncers standing by the entrance, and inside in the area was filled with leathered sofas, booths, and poles with another bar towards the end of the area.

Even though it's only 11 but the club was already almost full, as the gang move closer into the club, all twelve of the cannot help looking around the club like a home puppy going onto the street or the first time.

"Mr Moon, here is your table. You could keep your stuff under the table for safe keeping. We will bring your drinks over in a short while." The staff said as they stopped by a corner table with perfect view of the area and also a safe distance between the crowds.

"Thank you!" Austin replied as the rest all slide into the sofas.

"Whoa! I know Cameo was very amazing but I really did not expect Cameo to be THIS amazing!" Trish exclaimed.

"This club is soo cool, we can not only dance at the dance floor, and we can also dance here, around the VIP area!" Rocky said enthusiastically after taking a look around the club.

"Rocky! Shall we head to the dance floor?" Cece asked as she fidgeted to the music in the air.

Logan and Rocky, who were on either side of Cece, chuckled and pulled Cece towards the dance floor with Mark and Ty following them.

The rest stayed behind to wait for their drinks before heading into the dance floor too.

In the dance floor, the gang all danced together with the guys protecting the girls from any unwanted harass or danger. The twelve of them all split into smaller groups of four as they fidgeted towards the music: Cece, Rocky, Logan and Mark were dancing together; Ty, Tinka, Deuce and Dina were dancing together; and lastly Austin, Ally, Dez and Trish were dancing together.

After an hour or so of dancing, Deuce and Dina decided to return to their table so Ty and Tinka followed them back.

"Man! It was so terribly crowded at the dance floor. It felt like we were packed like sardines." Ty complained while sliding into the sofa.

"I agree! I already feel exhausted just by looking at the crowd. I'm amazed that they could still stand dancing in the crowd." Deuce added.

"I think some of them might not think that." Dina cut in as she nodded the head towards the dance floor.

Everyone turned around to find Austin, Ally, Dez and Trish walking towards them.

"Hey guys!" Austin greeted as the four of them slide into the sofa.

"Can't stand the crowd too?" Deuce asked.

The four of them nodded their head.

"Got it! Enough said. We understand!" Deuce said.

Everyone chuckled at Deuce's reaction.

"Shall we have a toast?" Ty asked as he raised his cup of Vodka Lime.

"What for?" Deuce asked curiously as he picked up his cup.

"Well, easy! For having such great friends and amazing love ones beside us!" Austin interrupted before Ty could think of something as he took a glance over his shoulder towards Ally.

Everyone grinned widely at each other as they raised their cup for a toast.

Ty held his cup the highest up and said, "Cheers! For…"

"Shouldn't you guys wait for us before having a toast together? Especially when you guys were about to have such a meaningful toast!" Rocky interrupted before Ty could finish, with Cece, Logan and Mark behind her.

Everyone burst into laughter and nodded in agreement.

"Well! What are you waiting for? Come on! Let's join in!" Dina said, enthusiastically.

After Cece, Rocky, Logan and Mark slide into the sofa, all raised their cup into the air for a toast. All were smiling from ear to ear as they shouted out together, "To friendship!"

After taking a slip of their drink, they all cannot help but all burst into laughter again at Rocky's whining.

After a few rounds of dancing, the twelve of them decided to take a break and play some games with the drinks coasters and poker cards the club provide. From poker to heart attack, now they were playing Big Deuce in pairs while Cece, Logan, Rocky and Mark returned to the dance floor.

"Holy! Our hand is amazing! You guys are going down!" Trish exclaimed as she looked towards the cards on Ally's hand.

"Not if I take you down first!" Ty rebutted.

"Seriously? Guys!" Deuce interrupted, "You really think you could win me at the game which was named after me?"

The others rolled their eyes at Deuce and ignored his sentence.

"Hey! Show some respect to the man!" Deuce complained.

"Deuce! Dude, trust me! You don't want to hear what is on our mind right now!" Austin warned.

Deuce's eyes widen and stunned for a minute before nodding his head at Austin.

Everyone burst into laughter and beside Deuce, Dina giggled as she shook her head at Deuce.

While they were battling on the poker table on who will have to finish a cup of brandy with one shot for penalty if they lose, Cece, Rocky, Logan and Mark were all having a good time in the dance floor.

Suddenly, Cece find it hard to breathe about pack of sardines, maybe there is indeed something called having too much fun for our Miss Cece Jones.

"Rocky! Do you want to step outside to get some air?" Cece shouted over the loud music towards her best friend.

"OK!" Rocky nodded her head and together, Rocky reached out to grab Mark while Cece reached out to grab Logan to head outside for some air.

When they headed out towards the exit of the club, they have decided to take a stroll along the beach for a while to chill and relax, and at the same time to help burn off the alcohol in their body.

On the Beach:

As they were walking by the sea water with their feet in the water and their shoes on their hands, behind Cece and Rocky, Mark yanked Logan's arm and whispered something to him. Logan stared at Mark for a minute, signed and nodded his head. Mark grinned brightly at Logan as he nodded his head, pleased with Logan's subtlety.

Mark took a few steps to catch up with Cece and Rocky and said, "Rocky! Care to join me for a trip to Starbucks? I have a sudden craving for a Green Tea Frappuccino."

Rocky rolled her eyes and replied, "Now?"

Mark nodded his head.

Rocky took a glance at Cece and nodded her head, "Ok!"

"We will be back in ten!" Mark announced as he ran off with Rocky after putting on their shoes.

"What's up with Mark?" Cece asked as she stared towards the direction Mark and Rocky disappeared to.

Logan did not reply. Instead he took a deep breath and when he was about to open his mouth to say something, he stopped and froze on the spot. Just as Logan was about to give up on himself, Mark's words came into his mind again.

~~Flashback~~

Five minutes ago:

"Logan! I will distract Rocky later and you will give her your present here. You have only ten minutes." Mark whispered into Logan's ears after yanking him by his arm.

Just as Logan was about to open his mouth to reply, Mark interrupted, "It's now or never, man! You will not find another time with such perfect timing and perfect location with only the two of you for the rest of your vacation with your group of friends!"

~~Flashback~~

Logan stared at Cece's back and took another deep breath.

"Cece!" Logan whispered softly behind her girlfriend.

Cece's attention immediately was seized by Logan, "Yes, Logan?"

"I have something to tell you!" Logan said with his eye balls turning left and right panicky, trying to avoid looking directly into Cece's eyes.

Cece eyes widen as a sense of fear started to rise inside her chest.

"I knew it!" Tears start to well up in her eyes with her voice breaking as she spoke, "Are you breaking up with me?"

Logan eyes widen in shock as he snapped, "What? NO!"

"Why… why… why would you think that I'm breaking up with you?" Logan asked.

Cece wiped off the tears before it fall off her cheeks, "Well, when you went to the bathroom earlier, Mark told me you had something important to tell me. He sounded so serious so I thought…"

Logan face palmed himself as he interrupted, "So you thought he meant that I'm going to break up with you?"

Cece nodded her head as her eyes turned red, looking at him like a lost puppy being thrown by the side walk by its owner.

Logan signed and pulled Cece into his arms, "Cece, I would never break up with you! Not in a million years. I love you, Cece! Why would I hurt a girl I love so much and so deeply until my heart aches sometime?"

Cece blushed as she tucked her head deeper into Logan's arms.

They stood in each other arms for a minute before Logan realised that his attention was drawn away from what he was about to do before. Cece looked at him, questioningly as Logan let her go!

"Cece, could you close your eyes for a second? I have something for you!" Logan asked gently as he looked into Cece's eyes.

Immediately, Cece melted into Logan's dreamy eyes and nodded her head without a doubt.

After Cece closed her eyes, Logan took out a small box in his inner jacket pocket and opened it. He slowly walked behind Cece and gently laid a silver necklace around her neck.

"Done!" Logan announced as he return to stand in front of Cece.

Cece opened her eyes and looked down to her chest, and gasped upon taking a closer look at what Logan just gave her.

That's it for this chapter, I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter! :D
