Is this real?

Mom I'm home, mom where are you? Loren puts her bag on the living room table and her luggage on the floor. Mom where are you?

Nora came through the backdoor wearing her working gear. Hi sweetie, I'm here, she took off her gloves and gave Loren a hug. I was working in the garden. Welcome home baby.

Thanks mom, I am so happy to be home, I miss you so much. Loren said still hugging her mom.

And I miss you too, Nora opened the refrigerator and brought a jug of lemonade, went to the cabinet and took out two glasses and poured lemonade in, gave one to Loren. Cheers.

Loren went to the dinning table and pulled a chair and sat down. So mom, what up?

Nothing is up, I was just gardening, and as you can it is a beautiful day for gardening.

Mooooooom,

Loren I am okay there is nothing wrong

Loren knew there is something worrying her mom but she let it go. Ok what is for diner? I am starving.

I made your favorite. They said in Unisom LASAGNA

I love you mom, so why are we waiting for? Loren said while getting up to set up the table. And while they were eating, Nora asked Loren, so when is the graduation?

Loren puts one finger up signaling her mom to let her finish chewing. When she finished chewing, she took a sip of her lemonade and said, in two weeks and I am planning to start looking for a job or internship.

That is a good idea sweet, so which companies are you thinking about applying for, are you going to look for a job here in Michigan or you are going to move out of state?

Mom, I don't want to leave you here by yourself and there are no big companies here, I don't want us to live on paycheck to paycheck, mom, you've done enough for Leah and me and now is the time you have to sit and enjoy.

Loren, we are not living on paycheck to paycheck, your dad has a good job that pays well. The only thing is he travels a lot. I know you mean well for me, but sweetie, I am still young and energetic so I want to work so I don't get weak and old. Oh I forgot Leah wants us to go to LA this weekend because she misses us.

Did she want you to go visit her or she wants us to visit her? Loren asked with a frowned face.

Loren, can you let that incident go already and be nice to your sister?

I'm sorry mom, but she started everything and if she is not going to back off my private life, I will not allow her to destroy my future.

Loren, I think she meant well for you.

I don't think so mom, she ruined all my relationships only because she wants me to go out with rich guys or boys whose parents are rich and that is not me. I have to work my way from the bottom to the top. I want to enjoy what I sow not to ripe what other people had sow.

Nora reached across the table and squeezed Loren's hand. You are really my daughter and I am proud of you.

But Leah is also your daughter right mom?

Yeah she is but the moment she moved back to LA, she change not bad though, but I don't know, there is something about she doesn't care what people say about her.

Anyway I am happy that I am going to see my friends again, I have to call Mel and tell her I'm coming to LA. OMG Adriana and Chloe are going to scream my ear off.

Nora just smiles and waved Loren to ahead and make the call. I will clean up.

Thanks mom, I love you so much. Loren said and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek.

At LA Eddie was getting ready to leave his office when his secretary knocked on the door. Mr. Duran, your dad wants you in his office.

Thanks Linda, tell him I'm on my way

Ok Mr. Duran

Hey pops what's up, Linda said you want to see me.

Have a seat son; Eddie sat in the chair across from his dad in Max's big office.

Do you want something to drink? Max asked Eddie while he went to the bar in his office.

No, thanks dad, I am driving today, Sam got an urgent call something about his wife or daughter, I couldn't get what he was saying because I was too busy trying to get things ready for tomorrow's board meeting.

Oh ok then cheers to me.

Ok why am I here? Eddie asked looking at his dad with serious face.

We are waiting for your brother and mom they should be here soon.

Are we going to have a family meeting in your office? We always have family meetings at home, I mean you and mom's house with good meal from mom. Eddie said a big smirk on his face.

I know but this time, I am serious about what I am going to discuss with you.

Me? What did I do this time? I am doing everything I could to make this company grow.

What we are going to talk about is not about the company so just be patience and wait for your mom and brother to come.

We are here, Katy said and gave Max a kiss on his lips

Gross we are still little kids Tyler said and both him and Eddie started laughing.

Oh really? Are you? Kathy said and they all went and sit in the area where Max normally use for his small meetings.

Ok dad, we are all here can you tell us the reason we are here? Tyler said.

Max cleared his throat, I call you here, oh we call you here {pointing to Katy and himself} to discuss something important about your lives.

What is about our lives that you want to discuss about? I am pretty happy about my life and I don't want to change it. Tyler said.

Tyler you and Eddie are not candles that grows younger when you lit it, human beings grows old and we are growing old so we want you two to start planning of settling down. Like getting marry and settling down. Katy said

We will think about that so can you give us some time? Eddie said while getting up.

Sit down son, I am serious and I am giving you two three months to bring your to be wives to meet us if not- Max was cut off by Tyler

If not what are you going to do throw us out off our houses? He said with a laugh.

Tyler, we are serious and as I was saying, if not that I have no choice than to take yours names from this company and all my properties as it will collapse anyway if I leave it to people who are not responsible.

But dad, we are responsible, look I am working my ass off everyday going to meetings and making good decisions.

As the saying goes, behind every successful man there is a woman. I met your mom and through her advice, encouragement and good food, see what we have accomplished. So three months and I mean it. Now we are done here so you can go.

The moment Eddie and Tyler were out of the office, Eddie called Tyler.

Ty, can I have a word with you?

Yeah little bro, what's up are you buying what dad just said? He can never take our names from his WILL so please breath.

Tyler, I think he is serious, but I can't find a woman in three months and fall in love with her. It takes time to fall in love.

That is your piece of cake so you go ahead and think about it as for me, I am going to the club tonight and have a good time with the laaadies. You can join me if you want.

No thanks, the boys and I have plans. Eddie said and gave his brother a hug and they both left to go home.

Eddie got home find something to eat, after that he went to the shower and took a long shower thinking about what his parents told he and Tyler. When he finally came out of the shower, he heard a knock at his door and he run downstairs to get it.

Whoa man, you can't be opening doors with towel around your waist. Phil said and everyone started laughing.

Just give me a minute and I will be right with you guys Eddie said and run back upstairs.

Loren on three-way phone conversation with Mel, Chloe and Aid.

Yeah and my mom said Leah wants us to come to LA this weekend for a visit and I am only coming because of you guys.

Yay, we miss you so much Lo, and we have a lot to catch up with Mel said.

Girl's night out and shopping Chloe added.

And boys Aid said. The girls all laugh.

Hey and I heard there is going to be a beach party so we can attend too fun right? Chloe said. The girls started squealing. I can't wait to see you Lo, Chloe said.

Hey Lo, you know it only two days that you will be here? Aid said

Oh my Gosh, I need to go start parking, I will talk to you guys later. I love you guys

We love you too. They all hang up and Loren went back to the living room and picked up her bag and luggage and went back to her room.

It was Friday evening and Loren and Nora were getting ready to go the airport when they heard a knock at the door.

Mom I think the taxi is here, I will get it.

Ok sweetie, I will be right down with you just put your bag in the car.

Loren opened the door and there he is, her dad, she jump on him and gave him a tight hug.

I can see someone miss me Trent said laughing.

I miss you dad, did mom knows that you are coming today?

No why?

Oh because we are going to LA to visit Leah.

Oh really?

Yeah and our plane leaves in an hour.

Sweetie I'm ready, oh my God Trent, I thought you said you are not coming till next years.

Yeah I want to surprise you and I can see I can't have my wife the weekend because she had to go to LA to visit our daughter.

Nora puts her bag down and rushed to Trent and gave him a passionate kiss. Sweetie, is it ok if we postpone this visit till next week?

Oh no mom, I am going I miss my friends and I don't think Leah will be happy about us telling her we will be there in five hours and later telling her we are not coming.

Your dad just came after travelling for three months. I also miss him.

Don't worry mom, enjoy your man and I will enjoy my friends. They heard a car horn and Loren hug her mom and dad. I will call you when I get to LA. I love you guys.

We love you too Nora and Trent said.

After a long five hours, Loren landed in LA and she can't wait to see her friends. When she claim her bag, her phone started ringing and it was Leah.

Hey Leah I am in LA I was about to call you.

Oh yeah mom told me she couldn't make because dad came home. Anyway, I am a little busy can you take a taxi home?

Loren wasn't surprise because she knows Leah could do a thing like that. Yeah that should not be a problem. Loren went out and called for a taxi.

Loren gave the address to the driver and she called her friends to let them know that she has arrived.

On the way Loren asked the diver if it is ok for her grab something at café, as she knew that Leah will not cook and there will be no food for her eat that night. The drive drove her to the café and he got out and asked Loren what she wants him to buy for her.

Oh it is ok; I can go get it myself.

I can get it for you, he said with a smile that made Loren's heart melt.

Just get me anything that is edible, just need to something to eat for tonight.

Ok mam, I will be back. The driver came back fifteen minutes later and gave Loren a brown bag.

Thank you and much it is?

You can add it to the charge when we get to your destination. Loren just nodded. While they were going Loren could see the driver stealing some small glances at her, but she did not say anything. In about an hour later, the drive told Loren they have reached the house.

Thank you and how much am I owning you Mr. -

Oh my name is Andre, bur you can call me Ed

Ok Ed, how much do I have to pay?

$35 please Ed said.

Loren took out her wallet and gave Ed the money and when she was about to turn around, Andre called her.

I did not get your name; I think it is not fair for you to know my name and me not knowing yours.

I am sorry, Loren Tate

Miss Tate here you can call me anytime you need a taxi, Ed handed Loren a folded paper and Loren puts it in her purse and waved to Ed. Ed made sure she was in the house before driving off.

At Eddie's apartment, Eddie and his friends are having a good time and he brought the conversation between his parents and him up.

Mate why don't you go out there and pick up a girl and make her your wife Ian said

Eddie you are rich and handsome and every girl will die to be your wife so why are killing yourself on that, just go out and pick one, Phil said.

Guys, you don't understand, I don't want girl to fall in love with me because I am Eddie Duran the billionaires son, I want someone who will fall in love with me as who I am.

Everyone in LA knows who you are so how can they not fall in love with you? Adam added

Unless you become a homeless or carp driver, Cam said giving Phil a high five.

You are genius Cam. Eddie said

What? I just made a joke.

A good one though, thanks man.

Mate, don't tell me you are going to be a homeless just to get a girl to love.

Listen man, anyone who will fall in love with a homeless man shows naturally pure love so don't talk me out of it.

So this is a new story I decided to write so please review and let me know if you like it.
