Chapter 1 – Looking for a job

Loren Tate was once just an ordinary girl with the famous manager couple, Nora and Trent Tate. She had a normal childhood, she did normal things. She went to elementary school, then high school. Her talent in music was revealed when she was little, but Nora and Trent tried to keep her away from the fast life as long as they could, but after becoming 18 nothing could stand in the way of Loren Tate the pop princess. After graduating Loren recorded her first album and it became a huge hit. Everybody wanted more of her.

Now she became so famous that she cannot leave her place without being attacked by a bunch of photographers and crazy fans. This is the reason why her parents came up with the idea of hiring a bodyguard for her. Obviously she wasn't so thrilled about it, but Nora and Trent convinced her that this is for her own sake. They put up an advertisment on the Internet of course without mentioning Loren's name in it. It said that they were looking for a young strong man for all kind of work. Of course it had a high payment written down as well, trying to get more of the people's attention, because the truth to be told,the insertion didn't describe a lot.

Loren: Mom, I don't really understand why I need a bodyguard. I've been just fine without and I think I'll be as well.

Nora: Maybe, but we don't wanna take any risks. The more famous you get the crazier your fans become. We don't wanna reassert what happened in New York do we?

Loren: Mom, don't even say it! It was enough gross when he jumped on me and I don't wanna think about it again.

She said sitting down on the couch, trying to freeze the picture out of her head.

Nora: I'm sorry honey. I didn't mean to put it that way, but… your father and I only wants what is the best for you. We can't be on your side 24/7 and we don't want you to get hurt either. We're doing this for your safety.

Loren: Fine! But I don't want old dude chasing me everywhere. At least can I pick him?

Nora: Of course honey!

Let's go on with Eddie Duran, who has just gratuated from college and now is desperately searching for a job to earn some money to start off with his new independent life. Now he's sitting in a café with his best friend Ian and they are searching for a good job.

Eddie: Man we need to find something a well-paying job, if I want to move out of the Valley.

Ian: What kind of jobs have you thought of?

Eddie: I don't know. Anything. I really need the money now. My parents have paid my education in college and I can't let them help me with buying an apartment.

They went through all the newspapers they have brought and still haven't found the right one. None of them seemed to be paying enough and Eddie started to give up hope. He turned over to the last page of the paper to see what's left. He didn't find any interesting until he approched the last one that really got his attention.

Eddie: Ian. I think I found something.

Ian: What does it say?

Eddie: It says that they're looking for a young strong man for all kind of work.

Ian: That's it? What does it say about the payment?

Eddie: It says that they're willing to pay … dollars. Wow Ian that is a lot. (I'm sorry but I don't know the rate and how much is a good wage in dollar.)

Ian: But it didn't mentioned anything about what you having to do.

Eddie: But it pays well and audition is tomorrow, so I'll go and check it out.

Ian: It is your choice mate!

The next morning

After coming home from her tour last night was the first night when Loren was actually able to sleep. She's been having the best dream she had in a very long time, until her parents burst into her bedroom and wake her up. Her dream was about a really hot boy and well they were doing naughty things.

Nora: Good morning sunshine!

Trent: Wake up sweetie! The entrants can be here in any minute.

Loren: Ohhh! Why do we have to do this so early?

Nora: Loren, it's 11:30. It is almost noon.

Loren: I don't care I wanna sleep!

Nora: No! Stand up and go to the bedroom to get yourself washed up.

She said and snatched the blanket off of her.

Loren: OK! I'm up, I'm up.

She slowly got up and walked into the bathroom, where she took a long shower. She then went to pick out something to wear. She walked out of the bathroom with a towel around her and approached her walk-in closet. She selected a simple pink tank top with black skinny jeans and high-heeled boots. She went downstairs and sat down on the couch, waiting for the first entrant to come. The door has been knocked and Trent stood up to open it. Everything went very well until he saw Loren. He freaked out and started going crazy, and the same happened with the next 14. There was knock on the door again and like the other times her father went to open it.

Loren: Please tell me this one is not gonna freak out and start screaming.

Nora: Let's hope.

She said covering Loren's hand with hers. Suddenly Trent cleared his throat making known that they are present in the room. Loren lift her head up only to meet a pair of gorgeous brown eyes. She looked at his face and he was beautiful.

Nora: Hey! What is your name?

Guy: Good afternoon! My name is Eddie Duran.
