Eddie's Apartment
"I can't wait for the party tonight," said Loren as she looked at the latest video that Melissa posted on her website. "It is going to be so nice just to hang out with my friends and family instead of all the Hollywood people."
"I know, and it's going to be even better than you think", Eddie said as he wrapped his arms around Loren from behind. "What do you mean," Loren asked, turning to face Eddie. "Just that it is going to be so much fun hanging out with you tonight since we've both been so busy lately." "I know, I missed you so much. Kelly is always setting interviews up for me and it is like I never have any free time," Loren said as she rubbed her hands up and down Eddie's arms.
"I miss you too. Everybody wants more of Loren Tate, but honestly I can't blame them," Eddie said as he looked down into Loren's big brown eyes. He loved those eyes and he loved her even more. "Aaw, I love you so much," Loren said. "Not as much as I love you," Eddie playfully argued back. He bent down and kissed her. Loren wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her toes as the kiss became more passionate. After about a minute, Loren pulled back and said "I should get back to the apartment. Mel is going to do my make-up and hair for the party tonight and we both know that that is long process that requires a lot of time." "Ok. I'll let you go, but that doesn't mean I like it," said Eddie. "Ian and I will be there around seven to pick you guys up."
"Ok. I will see you then." Loren picked up her bag and gave Eddie one more quick kiss. She then went to door and walked out.
Eddie sighed as he thought about tonight. He was planning on proposing to Loren in front of all of their closest friends and family. He loved Loren so much and the thought of spending the rest of his life without her made him feel sick. After calming himself down Eddie pulls out his cell phone and calls Max.
Phones Conversation:
Max: Hey son. What's going on?
Eddie: Nothing much. I'm just feeling really nervous about tonight. Everything has to be perfect.
Max: Everything will be fine. Loren loves you. There is no way that she will say no.
Eddie: I know you're probably right Pop. It's just that I've never felt this way about anyone before, not even Chloe. Loren means the world to me and she deserves everything.
Max: I know. Katy would have loved her. They really are a lot alike.
Eddie: I think so too. And Dad, I still can't believe you are letting me propose with Mom's ring. I know how important it is to you.
Max: I love Loren. You two have what Katy and I had and I know that Katy would approve. You two could even be the next MK.
Eddie: She has to say yes first
Max: She will! Now stop worrying.
Eddie: Ok. Thanks Pop. I will see you tonight.
Max: Ok. And don't worry about anything. Everything will go perfectly.
(End of phone conversation)
At Loren and Melissa's Apartment
"Mel, are you here?" Loren yelled as she walked through the door. "Lo, where have you been? You know my work takes time." Mel said frantically. "I know. Eddie and I were talking about tonight, but I'm ready for you to work you magic now."
"Yay! Come in my room. I have everything set up."
Loren sits down in front of Melissa's vanity and starts working. She starts with her foundation, then uses her liquid eyeliner to give Loren cat eyes. Melissa uses a shimmering crème-colored eye shadow on Loren, and uses her finger to evenly blend the powder on her eyelids. Melissa then curls Loren's hair with her Conair curling wand. She then pulls half of her hair up, twists it and gives Loren a small hair poof. Finally, Melissa applies a bright red lipstick that matches Loren's dress. Loren looks at herself in the mirror and gasps. "Oh my gosh Mel, I look amazing. You definitely outdid yourself." "Well, it's easy when your best friend is already so gorgeous," said Mel. "Well not as gorgeous as you," says Loren. "I guess not," teased Mel. They both laughed. "Thanks again Mel." They hugged each other. "I'm going to get dressed."
Loren went to her room and Mel did her own make-up and hair. Melissa straightened her hair and put on a knee-length black dress with spaghetti straps. She put on a hot pink belt with matching shoes.
Loren put on her strapless, red peplum dress. She then put on the black diamond necklace and the matching earrings that Eddie had given her for their four year anniversary. She then put on her black Gucci pumps, grabbed her clutch purse and walked out of her room and into the living room. Melissa was walking out too. They both told each other how great they looked. They were taking their final looks in the mirror when there was a knock at the door.
Eddie's Apartment
Eddie ran some gel through his hair until it was perfectly spiked. He then put on his black dress shoes with his white dress shirt. He decided against a tie because Loren thought it was sexier to wear the first two buttons of his shirt open. That's why Loren always buys him V-neck t-shirts. He laughs as he thinks about the first time Loren went to a red carpet premiere with him. They were in the limo and Loren told him that he looked stiff with the black tie. She took it off and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt. She then trailed kisses from the skin showing from his shirt all the way up his neck, then to his lips. When she pulled back she seductively said, "You look much sexier this way." From then on, Eddie never wore another tie. Eddie put on his suit jacket and dress shoes. Then he walked down the stairs. When he got to the bottom, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door and found Ian.
"Hey mate. Are you ready to go?"
"Yea, just let me get my keys."
Eddie grabbed his keys off the coffee table and followed Ian out the door. They walked to Eddie's car and started driving to Loren and Melissa's apartment.
"So, are you ready mate?" asked Ian. "I really am. I've been feeling really nervous all day. I've been playing the worst case scenario in my head all day," Eddie said. "And what would that be? Is she not going to like the ring because the only word coming out of Loren's mouth tonight is yes," Ian said jokingly.
"That's what Pop said."
"Well Max is a very smart man," Ian said
Just then, they pulled up in front of the apartment complex. They got out and walked in. They walked to the elevator and clicked the up button. The elevator opened, they walked in, and Ian pressed the 10th floor button. That was the very top floor, which was a penthouse. The elevator opened and they walked to the door. Eddie knocked on the door, and Loren opened it. Eddie's mouth dropped.
"Mate, could you walk through the door? I kind of want to see my girlfriend," Ian said. "Oh yeah. Sorry." Eddie walked through the door, followed by Ian. He walked over to Melissa. "Love you look absolutely stunning." "Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself," Melissa said. Ian leaned down and gave Melissa a peck on the lips.
Eddie's mouth was still open. Seeing Loren in that dress made him that much more nervous about asking her to marry him. "Lo, you look beautiful and you're wearing my anniversary gift," Eddie said. "Thanks, and of course I'm wearing it. I wear them on special occasions and I wanted to make sure that I got an outfit that would look perfect with them" Loren said. "And by the way, you look pretty sexy too," she said while grabbing his collar and pulling his lips down to hers. Her hands were placed on his chest, while Eddie's moved to her waist. I was enjoying every moment of this until Ian grunted and said, "Sorry to interrupt, but there is a restaurant full of people waiting for us."
Loren pulled away and hid her blushing face in my chest. When she lifted her head, I could see that her cheeks were bright red. She looked up at me and shyly smiled. God this girl is gorgeous, Eddie thought to himself.
Loren finally spoke. "Sorry guys, I just can't get enough of this guy." She laced he fingers with his and walked out the door. Ian and Mel followed. Mel closed the door behind them and they all proceeded to the elevator and out the door.
At MK
"Are Eddie and Loren on their way yet?" Kelly asked Jake. "No babe. Eddie hasn't called me, but I'm sure that they will be here soon." "I hope they get here before the paparazzi catch wind of this whole event. They will bombard them with all sorts of questions."
"Yea I know." Jake said. "I really can't believe that this is Loren's second album. She has come so far." "Well she didn't do it by herself. Hello, amazing manager over here," Kelly sarcastically complained. "I know she didn't babe, and you are amazing." Jake gave Kelly a quick peck on the lips.
At the Bar
"Can you believe that our children have been together for 5 years?" Nora asked Max. "I know. He loves her so much. Every time he talks about Loren, his eyes light up," Max answered back. "Loren is the same way. When Eddie came into her life, she became a completely different person. You know, you changed my life too."
Max looked into her eyes. "You did the same for me. You and Loren added so much to both Eddie's life and my own. Loren is like a daughter to me. Pretty soon, she really will be."
Nora looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"Crap!" Max accidentally said out loud.
"Max Duran, what aren't you telling me?" "It's nothing really." Max lied.
"I know when you aren't telling me something. I'm just going to keep badgering you until you tell me." Nora said.
Max walked to the outside of the bar and grabbed Nora's hand. They walked up to Max's apartment. He unlocked the door and they both walked in. When they were inside, Max let go of Nora's hand and rubbed his hands down his face. "Eddie would kill me if he knew I was telling you this." Max said. "Telling me what," Nora asked still confused.
"Eddie is proposing to Loren tonight." Max blurted out, not being able to hold it in any longer. He looked up at Nora who hadn't said anything. Her hand was over her mouth and tears were building in her eyes.
"Oh my goodness, our babies are getting married." Nora ran over and hugged Max. "I know." Nora pulled away. "Wait a minute how long have you known about this?"
"About two months," Max answered in a low voice.
Nora still heard him though. "And you are just telling me now. Max, how could you do this?"
"I'm sorry. Eddie wanted me to keep it a secret. I promise that I would have told you if Eddie hadn't sworn me to secrecy."
"Ok, I forgive you." She kissed him, and then hugged him. She pulled away and said "I am so excited.
Outside of MK
Loren, Eddie, Melissa, and Ian arrived at MK, and Eddie parked behind the building. They came in from the back door so that the paparazzi wouldn't see them. When they walked in, everybody walked up to them and congratulated Loren on her album. Eddie smiled at his soon-to-be fiancé. She was smiling and hugging Kelly who was telling her how proud she was of him. He saw Nora coming up and she looked like she had been crying. Nora walked up to Loren.
"Honey, I am so happy for you." Nora said while excitedly trying to hold in her tears. Eddie looked at Max, who had a strange look on his face.
"Babe, I'll be right back," Eddie said to Loren. "Ok." Loren said smiling.
"Pop, can I talk to you for a minute?" Eddie asked.
"Sure Eddie," Max answered nervously.
They walked up to Max's apartment and closed the door behind them.
"Pops! How could you tell Nora?" Eddie was pretty upset.
"She got it out of me. I let it slip that she would be my daughter pretty soon and she forced me to tell her." Max said , sounding overwhelmed. "Nora can't keep a secret to save her life. She is going to tell Loren before I even have a chance to ask her. There is only one thing to do." Eddie said. "I am proposing to Loren now instead of later on tonight."
Eddie checked to see if the ring was in his pocket. "Wish me luck Pop." Eddie practically ran down the stair and found Loren. Nora was right beside her. Eddie walked up to her and grabbed her hands. Eddie thought that her small, dainty hands fit so perfectly in his bigger, stronger ones.
"Loren Elizabeth Tate" he began "you are by far the best thing that has ever happened me. When I see my future now, you are always in it. If I had to go a whole day without looking into your big, beautiful, brown eyes, or hearing your laugh, or even seeing you smile, then that day would not have been worth living. Looking back, I honestly don't know how I lived so long without you." Loren's eyes were starting to water as she looked down at the man she loved more than life itself. "You made me love again, when I thought it would never be possible. It's the little things that make me love you, like the way you kiss me and the way you hair always smells like strawberries. I love how you can always make me feel like things will be ok. The feelings that I have for you get stronger every single day, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, as the happiest man alive." Eddie's voice was starting to crack. He was so nervous and emotional that he was on the verge of tears. Eddie got down on one knee, still holding Loren's hand. Loren gasped. "I was going to sing to you and it was supposed to be this grand proposal, but I didn't want to wait another minute." Eddie pulls the box out of his pocket and opens it. "Loren, I love so much and I would be so grateful if you would be my wife."
The tears were streaming down Loren's face now, but she managed to nod her head and let out quiet yes.
Eddie's eyes got big and he picked her up, spinning her around in circles. "Yes, I will marry you," Loren whispered into Eddie's ear. "I love you so much."
Everyone was still looking on in endearment. Eddie put Loren down, and took the ring out of the box. He then proceeded to put it on her finger. Loren looked at it, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Wait a minute. Eddie, isn't this Katy's ring?"
"Yes, you remind Pop and I a lot of my mom, and he approves of you having the ring. I know that my mom would approve too," Eddie said.
"Oh my gosh Eddie, we're getting married!" She jumped into his arms and he held her tightly. He put Loren down after about a minute.
Kelly, Nora, and Melissa all ran over to Loren. They looked at the ring and hugged Loren. Nora was bawling her eyes out. "Loren, my baby is getting married."
"We have to start planning like now," Melissa said.
"Mate, I'm so happy for you. You're a lucky man," said Ian
"Thanks man," Eddie replied.
"Congratulations Eduardo. You are taking the plunge" Jake said as he patted Eddie on the back.
"I'm just ready to start my life with the woman I love."
"I'm just happy that it's not a secret anymore," said Max
Eddie laughed. "Like that stopped you from telling Nora anyway."
"Hey, I was under pressure," Max laughed
"Right, well if you'll excuse me I'd like to talk to my fiancé," Eddie said walking toward the girls.
"Ladies, can I have my beautiful fiancé please."
Loren held her hand out to Eddie and he took it. They laced their fingers together as they walked to one of the booths that were away from the loud wedding chatter. Eddie slid in on one of the side of the round booth and Loren slid in on the other side. They were facing each other now, just looking into each other's eyes.
Loren spoke. "You know I only said yes because of this shirt right. I mean how anyone could say no when you are so good-looking.
Eddie laughed, "Yea, I know. That's why I wore it like this."
Lauren laughs. She then takes both sides of Eddie's face into her hands and kisses him. She kisses him like she never has before. Eddie pulls her closer to him by the small of her back. Eddie feels Loren's tongue in his mouth so he follows suit. They are full on making out in this booth. Eddie opens his left eye to see if any of their friends are looking at them. They aren't and Eddie is glad that they are giving them some privacy. After a make-out session that lasted about 5 minutes, they both pulled back and put their foreheads together.
"I can't wait to be your wife," Loren whispered.
"And I can't wait to be your husband," Eddie whispered back.
