Loren and Eddie: A lifetime of loving you

Chapter 1 If there was no music

Loren Tate was still speechless; thanks to Melissa her best friend she had won Eddie Duran's Song writing contest. From this moment on her life changed forever; she recorded her winning song and a month later she was opening for Eddie as he toured some of the central cities in California.

They spend a lot of time together; it had been a year since Loren won the contest and even though Eddie wrote songs; he was inspired even more when the beautiful brunette sat and wrote songs with him; Loren released her first album; and it wasn't a surprise to see her climb the Billboard charts to 5th place; she loved teasing Eddie telling him she was going to steal his first place status.

It took Eddie a while to trust again; after he had caught Chloe cheating with Tyler his best friend; he never thought he could fall in love again; but who knew this brunette beauty would steal his heart. He finally gave in and asked Loren out and he never looked back.

Max was happy to see Eddie smiling again; after losing his wife in a freak car accident he thought for sure both he and Eddie were doomed; Max was also dating and owed his happiness to Loren; she introduced him to her mom Nora; and he was never the same. Max walked into his kitchen to find Eddie sitting there tossing a box in his hands.

"So what are your plans?"

Eddie sat; he was restless as he played with the velvet box he kept tossing up and down; he knew this was something he wanted to do; only once before he had made plans to propose to Chloe; but a day before popping the question; he caught her cheating with Tyler; he swore he would never put himself through that again. But Loren made everything seemed so different; he had a new outlook on life.

"I'm proposing on stage Pops; she joins me every time to close the show with our hit song."

Max smiled and rolled his eyes. "That infamous song you claim she inspired; if I remember correctly you had some of the lyric's written way before you met Loren."

"I know but it wasn't finished; she helped me finish it and now it's been in first place for a long time."

"I love the title; so original."

Eddie turned towards Max; once again he knew he was teasing him. "Hey if there was no music I would have never met Loren."

Max stood and waved his hands in the air. "Yeah I know son."

A knock on the door made Eddie put the velvet box away. "Pops not a word."

Max sat back down and smiled. "And how do you know that's Loren?"

"I know exactly how she knocks."

"Ahhhh an expert." He teased again.

Eddie ignored Max's remark and rushed to open the door. "Hey babe."

Loren blushed. "Shhh your dad is here." She smiled as she acknowledged Max with a sweet smile.

Max loved Loren. "Hi Sweetie it's great to see you again."

"Good to see you too Papa Max." She blew him a kiss.

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "I'm getting some water."

Eddie couldn't help it and to be honest; he didn't care; he picked her up and kissed her; she hung from his neck. "Eddie I love you."

"I love you more; I want the whole world to know how much I love you."

She smiled down casting her look as she bit her lower lip. "You make it pretty clear when we're in public; I think everyone knows how we feel about each other."

He pulled her towards him and kissed her again; Loren didn't seem to mind Max was a few feet away and deepened the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Max walked back into the room taking a sip of water and tried to say something but all he could do to get their attention was to clear his throat.

Loren pulled away; Eddie was still holding her pretty close. "I think we better go."

"See you later Pops; our reservations are for 6."

They left and arrived promptly at 6; it never failed; the paparazzi were always at Rumor; it was a place all of Hollywood's famous celebrities hung out.

As soon as they exited the car Eddie held Loren's hand and they entered the place without acknowledging their questions.

Not far from their table Chloe sat with Tyler. "Ugh there he is again with her."

"Why do you care? We're together isn't that what you wanted? No need to hide anymore."

Chloe couldn't stop looking towards them. "You would think he had better taste?"

"C'mon let's go; I can't stand it every time we run into them you get this obsessive look on your face."

Chloe stood up and grabbed her purse. "I can't stand her!"

Tyler rolled his eyes. "Yes we know Chloe! I think he has great taste; she's beautiful."

"I can't believe you said that?"

"Loren Tate is beautiful; and talented, I think Eddie finally found the right girl."

Chloe expression was priceless. "So now you like her?"

"Chloe Eddie is my best friend; at least he was; I betrayed him, he deserves to be happy and honestly Loren seems to do that for him."

"So you're saying I wasn't good enough for him?"

Tyler shook his head. "Anyone that tries to seduce your boyfriend's best friend can't be all that good."

"You're such hypocrite!"

"Look who's talking!" Tyler groaned.

Chloe walked away; but she had to stop at Eddie and Loren's table. "Hello Eddie."

Loren sighed looking away. Eddie barely looked her way. "What do you want Chloe?"

"Can't I stop and say hello?"She tried touching his shoulder; Eddie moved away.

"Don't come near me; and leave us alone!"

"I remember a time when all you wanted to do was to be with me."

Tyler grabbed Chloe by the arm. "Let's go Chloe."

"Let go of me Tyler; he hasn't answered me."

"You know what? We're done." He looked at Eddie. "Sorry Ed, I mean it." He walked away.

Eddie finally acknowledged Chloe. "Leave or I will call someone to get you out of here; I don't want to make a scene."

She looked at Loren. "He will never love you like he loved me." She left.

Eddie turned to Loren. "Please ignore what she said."

Loren smiled caressing his chin. "Don't worry Eddie; she doesn't bother me anymore."

He couldn't get enough of Loren. "I love you; you know that?"

She couldn't help it; something about Eddie always made her blush and gave her butterflies; that's how she knew his love was genuine; no one had given her that feeling.

They ordered and spend most of the evening enjoying a quiet dinner; after they finished Eddie drove to their special place; they sat among the stars; holding hands.

"So are you ready for this weekend?"

"I'm always ready Eddie?"

"I'm so proud of you; my girl is a star; the world loves you babe."

"They love me because you love me."

"No you earned their love Babe; you stole their hearts just like you stole mine."

He leaned in and kissed her. Loren caressed his hair; placing a small kiss on the tip of his nose. "Are you happy?"

He furrowed his eyes as he looked deep into hers. "Why would you ask me that?"

"Everything is so perfect between us; sometimes it scares me."

"Why? Don't think about that right now; regardless of what anyone says about my past with Chloe; you're my soulmate Loren; it's you I belong with; we met, we talked; I know I flirted for a while and suddenly I fell for you; I'm crazy in love with you.'

She bit her lower lip as she held his chin. "I loved you the moment I saw you performing at the Apollo." She initiated the kiss. "I love coming here with you." She smiled and pecked his lips.

Loren leaned on his chest and looked around; it was a hill at the top of Griffith Park; the view of Los Angeles was perfect from where they sat; it was private area and no one else knew about it; it was just for them; if Loren needed time alone that's where she went; it was the same for Eddie and somehow they both knew where to go when they needed to see each other.

Loren felt insecure and anxious and once again leaned on him. "Can I ask you something?"

He smiled. "Sure what is it?"

"Don't ever leave me?"

He sat up holding her hand. "Loren what's wrong?"

"I wake up almost every night; I keep having these terrible nightmares and I look for you and I can't find you."

"Stop." He kissed her softly on her hand. She sighed leaning on him again; a tiny tear glistened rolling down her cheek. "We will always be together babe."

The weekend came fast and the Apollo theatre was sold out; it was a charity concert they were doing for the children's cancer center.

Eddie smiled as he walked out on stage and greeted his fans. "Thank you we sold out tonight again; the children will love you guys for helping out; Loren and I love performing for all of you and we will sing our signature finale song for this evening; as my pops calls it our infamous If there was no music; I must admit I love this song." Loren walked towards him waving at the fans as she reached him and held his hand.

"Thanks to music I met the love of my life." Everyone cheered them on. The 2 hour show was amazing; and to say good bye to their fans for that evening they began their song ;( If there was no music) Loren danced around him smiling and teasing as they thrilled their audience once more.

As soon as the song was finished Eddie signaled everyone to give him a moment; Loren stood watching him as he looked at her and without hesitation got down to one knee.

"Loren I love you; will you marry me?"

Everyone gasped; they knew what was coming next. Max and Nora stood nearby hugging each other and smiling.

Loren hugged and kissed him and finally responded. "Yes I will marry you."
