Hi Guys!
Here is the new chapter! I have to say this is on of my favorite chapter of my story.
This chapter is my special valentine day special... which I think is just in time for our March 15th White Valentines Day! :)
With no further ado. Here is the new chapter!
Chapter Twenty Six: Silver Valentine's Day
On the beach:
On Cece's neck laid a silvery necklace with an angel crested craved on top of it. Cece gently lifted the locket with her hand to take a closer look.
"Wow, Logan! I love it! Thank you so much!" Cece said, with her eyes still locked on the locket.
Logan chuckled and reached out to cover Cece's hand on the necklace. He pressed a button by the side and the necklace straight away split into half, revealing their couple selfies inside the locket.
"It's not only a necklace; it's a locket of our memories together!" Logan said as he showed the insides of the locket to Cece.
"On the left side of the locket is a picture of which our parents force us to take when we were having dinner at your place where my dad proposed to your mom! Remember?" Logan chuckled as the thought of their childishness returned to his mind, "And on the right side is a picture we took together on our first year anniversary, in the pavilion?"
Cece stared at the locket as a smile of happiness start to form on her face, "I remembered! We hated each other so much. It's soo funny now when I think about the dinner. Boy, we sure are lucky that we did not end up as step siblings!"
Logan chuckled, "Indeed, my lady! Indeed!"
"But the dinner on our anniversary was indeed my favorite on my list of date nights with you!" Cece said as she put down the locket onto her chest again.
Logan looked at the locket and said, "I chose this necklace because the locket directly sits on your heart where I know I'm in and will always be in and the angel crest was to remind you that you will always be an angel to me! Always!"
"Awwwww!" Cece melted into Logan arm's again.
Logan chuckled as he tighten his arm around Cece's back, "Not only that! If you detected the outer lock around the locket, you could see that there was a ring securing the locket together."
Cece lifted the locket again and do as Logan say, indeed there was a ring around the lock, with a little crystal heart on it. Cece eyes widen as she took out the ring, realizing that there was an engraving of 'Logan Cece - 14 July 2015'
"I was thinking of giving it to you tomorrow." Logan looked down to take a glance at his watch. "Since it's already past midnight so I think the date is precisely the correct date as today."
While Cece was admiring the ring, Logan took it and slided the ring onto her middle finger on her left hand. "Cece, I cannot afford a real diamond ring for you at the moment so I bought this for you as a temporary, like a promise ring. I have prepared all these to tell you that I love you with all my heart and I knew that you felt the same way towards me. I may not be able to afford an actual diamond ring yet but I promise you one day I will propose to you with one."
Tears started to well up in Cece's eyes again, Logan gently wiped away the tears with his thumb and continued, "I have checked online and realized that Asians have different valentine meanings on the fourteen day of every month and this month July 14 is a Silver Valentine's Day which is a day to take our love ones to meet our family. But since we have already met each other's parents, I thought I should give you something to remember today, making this our special Silver Valentine's Day! That's why I picked this silver locket for you."
Having said Cece could not bear any more surprises and bumped into Logan arms and started sobbing into Logan's chest.
Logan chuckled as he patted Cece's back to calm her down, "Cece! I gave you this to make you happy! Not to make you cry, my love!"
"They… are… tears… of … joy..." Cece mumbled into Logan's shoulder blades.
Logan chuckled even more after hearing what Cece mumbled.
After Cece have gotten a hold of herself, she stood up as she wiped her tears off her cheeks carefully not to spoil her make up. Logan helped her with her tears by planting a kiss on her forehead, followed by a kiss on her nose, followed by a kiss on her cheek and finally, slowly he started to lean in closer towards Cece…
"Achoo!"
Logan stopped moving, as his eyes widen, while Cece stood frozen in front of him. Cece turned red immediately after she recovered from the shock of her ruining the moment with Logan.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Cece as she quickly apologized as she wiped her snot off his face.
Logan could not help but burst into laughter which makes Cece blushes even more. Logan took Cece's hand away from his now-clean-face as Cece continuingly trying to wipe his face.
"Let's get you inside before you catch a cold!" Logan said as he took off his jacket and gently laid it over Cece's shoulder to keep her warm.
Cece, whose still blushing, nodded her head and followed Logan.
As Logan and Cece walked back towards the club, hand in hand, Mark and Rocky appeared around the corner.
"What took them so long? It has been almost thirty minutes and they have not returned." Cece said as she raised her hand which was interlacing fingers with Logan's hand and took a look at Logan's watch.
"Why don't you give Rocky a call?" Logan suggested.
"But I don't have my phone…" Before Cece could finish her sentence, she saw Mark and Rocky appearing around the corner of the club with their shoulders touching. Cece eyes widen upon seeing how close Rocky and Mark got just because of a trip to Starbucks.
Upon realising Cece stop talking, he turned to look at his girlfriend, only to realise that her attention is drawn to something in front of them. After he turned to see what is going on, his jaw dropped wide open, stunned at what he saw.
After they have gotten a hold of themselves, Rocky and Mark saw them and quickly walked towards them.
"Hey guys!" Mark and Rocky greeted together.
Logan and Cece exchange playful frown expressions at Rocky and Mark in a way that make both of them raise an eye brow at them.
"So… where is your Green Tea Frappuccino?" Cece smirked.
Logan chuckled lightly beside her as he let go of her hand to wrap his hand over Cece's shoulder.
"Oh! Starbucks is close so I did not get any coffee!" Mark replied as he looked at Logan to ask him, without words, if 'it' went through smoothly.
Logan gave Mark a small nod in reply without getting the attention of Cece and Rocky.
Mark smirked.
"So do you guys want to return to the club?" Logan said, trying to change the subject.
"I think it almost time we should leave. I really had a long day today and besides…" Rocky took a look at her watch and continued, "…it's already almost three in the morning! I'm dead beat!"
Cece nodded her head in agreement.
Just as Logan about to say something, the rest of the gang appeared behind them.
"Sweet! Trish just called the driver and he will be here in ten." Ty said suddenly as he patted Cece and Rocky's shoulder which make the four of them jumped a little bit.
"TY!" Cece and Rocky snapped after they have recovered from the shock
Everyone chuckled at their reaction.
"Here! We've got your purse!" Dina said as she and Ally passed Cece and Rocky's belongings back to them, respectively.
"Thanks Dina!"
"Thanks Ally!"
"Let's wait for the bus at the entrance!" Trish asked.
Together, everyone walked back to the entrance of the club where they all alighted just now that evening.
"Today really was too much for me to handle, with horseback riding and the dancing?" Deuce complained
"And not to mention all the drinks we had earlier." Dina complained
"I agree! Now I only need a bed to sleep for at least ten hours!" Dez added.
Everyone burst into laughter again, all agreeing to what Dez just said.
"What about you guys? Able to cope with all the excitement we had in Miami today?" Trish asked.
"I have to say, today was one of the most tiring day for me!" Cece replied.
"But it was worth it! We had a lot of fun today!" Rocky added, with Cece, Tinka and Dina nodding her head at them.
"Great to hear that! I think we better just stay in tomorrow! It's a bit too much to handle, even for us guys!" Austin suggested.
"Ya but I don't think we should stay in the whole day! We have to at least move out for a while." Mark interrupted.
"I agree with Mark! Why don't we head to the beach for another surfing experience on the Miami waters?" Logan said, with his eyes lighten up as the thought of beach waters appeared in his mind.
"Great idea! We could stay in for the first half of the day and maybe we could hit the waves during late afternoon tomorrow, together!" Austin agreed.
"Zam! Now that sounds like a plan." Logan exclaimed.
"Mark! Do you know how to surf?" Deuce asked upon realising that they don't know if Mark could surf.
"I could! I practically surf every day when I was visiting Hawaii with my parents last summer." Mark nodded his head.
"Cool! You have been to Hawaii?" Rocky exclaimed.
"Yup! My parents brought me there almost every summer as there is where they meet twenty years ago! So I practically lived in Hawaii for almost a quarter of my life. They even bought a beach house there a few years ago so they could save the hotel charges." Mark added.
"That is soooo cool! Could we visit Hawaii too?" Rocky asked.
"Sure! My dad always says that I could use the beach house whenever I want! I only have to inform him before hand." Mark replied.
"I always wanted to visit Hawaii! The view there must be sensational!" Rocky commented.
"It is indeed! Even the food there is divine!" Mark replied.
An air bubble started to form around Mark and Rocky as they got lost in their little conversation about Hawaii. Beside them, the gang moved their heads from Rocky to Mark, then Mark to Rocky, and Rocky back to Mark, and repeating on and on.
"Can they see us?" Ally asked as they continuingly turned their head from right to left and left to right.
"It feels like we just fade out all of a sudden!" Cece added.
"Beep… Beep… "
After a minute of staring of them, Logan said, "Zam! The horn was so loud and yet none of them realize our ride is here."
"Should we inform them?" Ty asked, carefully.
"Well, we have to return home eventually! And I am really super tired now." Deuce yawned to further prove his statement.
"Ok! I don't care if I will be interrupting anything! I'm going in!" Dina announced.
"Mark! Rocky! Our ride is here!" Dina shouted to them.
"…I know, right?"
"Mark! Rocky!" Ty raised his voice a little higher, trying to get their attention.
"… … …"
"MARK! ROCKY!" Dez suddenly shouted out very loudly at them, catching everyone's attention even the people standing in line also stopped talking and turned to look at Dez.
The gang, except Rocky and Mark, eyes widen in shook.
Mark and Rocky finally realized someone is talking to them and turned to face the gang. Just as they was about to asked if any of them called their name, they realized the bus behind the gang.
"Whoa! Our ride is here! You guys should have paid attention around you more often." Mark accused.
"Ya! What if we did not realize the bus? Then we will have to wait here all night." Rocky added and together she and Mark boarded the bus, leaving the others behind them.
Now, the gang not only has their eyes widen in shock, even their jaw dropped wide open.
A sense of anger start to roast inside of Cece's chest, just as she was about to yell at her best friend, Logan placed a palm on her back to smoothen out her anger.
"There, there! Chill, Cece! It's not going to make this situation any better." Logan whispered into her ears.
Cece took a few big deep breathes to calm herself down and nodded her head at Logan.
"OK, let's go home! I'm exhausted." Ty shook his head in dismay.
Everyone nodded their head and decided to not quarrel over such stupid issues.
Together, everyone boarded the bus and headed back home. During the ride home, they sat down on the seating to rest. After they reached the beach house, they all went straight to bed after changing and a simple wash up, all without a word of the incident of what happened earlier.
While at Cameo, the moment the party bus drove off, everyone just exchange blank face expressions and shrugged their shoulders, and returned back to their conversations earlier as though Dez's loud shouting did not happened at all.
That's it for this chapter, I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter! :D
