Something More chapter 1
It's 9 a.m. and the phones are ringing and things are buzzing in Jake and Kelly's Madsen's office. Most of the noise is coming from Jake and Kelly's twins Eric and Ethan, they are 2 years old. They're the biggest managing team in the L.A area, their biggest client is 24 year old Eddie Duran, Son of the well-known Max and Katy Duran.
"Kelly did you call the agency again?"
"No I gave up on them, I want a college girl, and these two have the energy only a college student can handle. I called the offices at UCLA and left a message with the director. I think there are plenty of girls who will apply for the job."
"I hope so, trying to get work done while these two run back and forth isn't going too well. Eddie is due very soon to sign some endorsement contracts, so when he walks in, take them upstairs."
Kelly smiles. "I will honey I promise."
At UCLA the day has come to an end for several of the students exiting the school. One of them is Loren Tate, 21 year old junior student majoring in law. She's headed to her car with her two best friends Melissa Sanders and Adam Miller.
"Lo you headed to the coffee shop?"
"No, they cut my hours, I need to work Mel, I need to earn more money, and my mom is already working enough hours to get me through school."
"You did get the scholarships."
"I'm grateful for those, but I have other expenses Mel and I can't expect my mother to cover them all."
Adam was listening and took a piece of paper out of his pocket. "Here Loren I think you could use this more than my sister can."
Loren took the paper from his hand. "What is it?"
"I was in the office and overheard someone needs a nanny or babysitter, maybe it will work for you.'
Mel laughed. "Loren babysitting? Yeah right!"
"Hey I'm very good with kids, what makes you think I can't handle this?"
"I can't picture you doing it Loren."
"Why because I'm an only child?"
Mel rolled her eyes as she hugged her best friend. "Oh come on Lo, kids are a handful, look for something else."
She smiled looking at Adam. "Thank you if the pay is good, you're looking at the next best nanny or babysitter there is."
"I'm sure you could handle it Loren, don't listen to Mel." Adam smiled as Mel punched him.
All three walked towards the coffee shop, coffee would be good before they had to start on their assignments.
"Mel did you see if there are any available tickets left for Eddie Duran's concert?"
"No Lo, only the front row and they're expensive."
Loren took a sip of her coffee. "I guess it's back to listening to his music on my IPod then, I will never get to see him up close or even meet him."
"Have you seen how gorgeous he looked in his latest photo shoot?"
Adam smiled. "Oh boy here we go with the two of you talking non-stop about Eddie Duran."
"Adam you know I've loved him the moment I heard his first song on the radio." Loren sighed.
Mel danced as she walked on the sidewalk. "He was 18, remember Lo?"
"Ok guys, see you later, got to head home and start on that essay and call this number to see what the job consists of." Loren headed to her car.
Mel and Adam crossed the street as they waved to Loren. "Lo tell me all about it the moment you know something, Adam is driving me home!"
"I will Mel, I promise."
Loren arrived home, her mom was still at work so she headed to her room, and she took the piece of paper out of her pocket and took her cell phone out. She made the call and waited for someone to answer.
"Madsen agency Kelly speaking."
"Hi I'm Loren Tate, calling about the babysitting job."
"Omg I'm so glad to hear that, when can you come to interview?"
"I don't have classes tomorrow."
"Great, I'll see you here at noon."
"Can I have the address?" asked Loren.
"It's 2900 Sunset Blvd."
"OK I'll see you there at noon, who should I ask for?"
"You can ask for me, Kelly Madsen we're on the 10th floor."
"Great see you then." Loren hit the end button, she smiled. Maybe just maybe this would pay enough so she could drop the coffee shop job, anything to help her mom with her college expenses. Loren's computer buzzed, she smiled she was sure it was Mel wondering about the job.
Loren opened her computer. "Hey Mel."
"So did you call? What happened?"
"I have an interview at noon tomorrow."
"How far do you have to go?"
"Kelly said she's on Sunset Blvd."
Mel furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait Sunset Blvd, what's the address Lo?"
"She said 2900."
Mel fell back on her bed. "Omg Lo, that's Jake Madsen's office building."
"Wait you mean, Eddie Duran's manager?"
"Yes it is…omg Lo, you might see Eddie."
Loren pulled her hair behind her ears. "Oh I didn't recognized the name."
"Lo can I come with you?"
"No Mel, I have to go alone, why so you could see Eddie and flip out?"
"I'll wait somewhere in the building, please let me come Lo."
Loren rolled her eyes. "Ok but you better not embarrass me."
Mel squealed. "I love you Lo, ok, got to go, pick me up at 11:00."
Loren smiled shaking her head. She closed her laptop and heard her mom calling. "Loren I'm home."
Loren ran out of her room to hug her. "Hi mom, how was your day?"
"Busy which is good, how was your day?"
"Good I have a job interview tomorrow."
Nora put her things down and turned towards her daughter. "Really where at?"
"It's either a nanny job or babysitting, don't know yet, it's for Jake Madsen."
Nora narrowed her eyes. "Why does that sound familiar and why are you smiling?"
"Mom its Eddie Duran's manager!"
Nora rolled her eyes laughing. "Oh boy, does this mean you might meet the one and only Eddie Duran?"
"I might, I'm so excited mom."
"Sweetie back to reality, this is Eddie Duran Huge Rock star, he's dating remember?"
"Mom don't burst my bubble, I know who he is, I know he's in love, just the thought of seeing him gives me butterflies, I've been a fan since he sang his first hit 6 years ago, I haven't been able to attend any of his concerts, maybe a smile from him is all I'll need."
Nora noticed how much Loren loved Eddie Duran; she walked over to hug her. "I'm sorry sweetie; I didn't mean to burst your bubble."
Loren hugged her back. "Thanks mom."
It was morning and Loren had fallen asleep in her bed with her books and notebooks opened. Nora peeked in and smiled. "Sweetie you're asleep again surrounded by all of your books."
Loren got up pushing her books to the side. "I'm going to shower; I have to be at my interview by noon."
"Ok I have oatmeal with fruit ready for you."
"Thanks mom." Loren closed the door to the bathroom behind her.
A few hours later.
Loren drove and parked a block away. "Lo why so far?"
"There aren't any meters here and who knows how long I'll have to wait."
Mel held Loren's arm. "Come on its 11:45 you have to be on time, maybe there are more interviewing."
They walked as fast as they could until they found the address; both girls went in taking the elevator to the 10th floor.
Jake was in his office. "Eduardo these should have been signed yesterday."
"I know, rehearsals ran late and I was too tired, but I'm here now Jake."
Kelly walked in. "Jake the girl is here for the job to babysit our boys, do you want to meet her?"
"Is she the only one that called?"
"Yes so I guess she has the job, I desperately need help with the boys."
"Ok I'll be there as soon as Eddie here is done signing the papers." Eddie smiled holding his pen and signing where Jake had indicated.
Kelly stepped out of the office and smiled when she saw Loren. "You must be Loren?"
"Yes, nice to meet you, here's my resume."
She handed it to Kelly. "Wow a high academic achiever, I'm very impressed."
Loren smiled. "Thank you."
"Well the job consists of you watching my twin boys, I'll need you between 1 and 6, I'll stay with them during the morning and when you arrive I'll come to work, all you have to do is read to them, take them to the park, give them dinner, they're very good about playing together, my chef will prepare their meals. It pays $300.00 a week."
Loren's eyes widen. "Oh great, does this mean I have the job?"
"Yes, we live upstairs in the penthouse, so I'll be around if there's any problems."
"Great, thank you so much." Loren couldn't stop smiling.
"I want you to meet my husband, he's busy with a client, so could you hold on?"
Loren sat back down. "Sure."
Mel walked in. "Did you get the job?"
"Mel I told you to wait outside!"
Kelly smiled when she turned to see Mel peeking through the door. "It's ok Loren, she can wait with you."
"She's my ride home, sorry didn't mean to intrude." Mel responded biting her lower lip.
The door swung open with Jake talking to Eddie as Kelly interrupted him. "Honey I want you to meet Loren, she's the boys nanny."
Loren stood, her long wavy hair hung down to her shoulders. She tried to breathe at the sight of Eddie Duran standing next to Jake.
Jake extended his hand. "Hi Loren, it's good to meet you."
Loren smiled back; her eyes went from Jake's to Eddie's. "Nice to meet you too."
"You are both very lucky, I'm sure you know Eddie Duran?"
"I know who he is, Hi Eddie I'm a huge fan, nice to meet you."
Loren thought her hand would not stop shaking as she extended it towards Eddie.
"Nice to meet you too Loren." He shook her hand, Loren felt butterflies.
Mel stood up immediately. "I'm Melissa, but you can call me Mel, nice to meet you too."
Eddie smiled and noticed Loren blushing as she looked away. "You girls going to my concert this weekend?"
"No we couldn't get tickets." Replied Mel.
Kelly knew why he was asking, he was amazing to his fans.
Kelly opened her drawer and handed Eddie as envelope. "Here these are for you both."
Loren took the envelope and opened it to find tickets for the front row. Her eyes lit up as she looked at him. "Thank you Eddie, that's very sweet."
He walked towards the door and winked at them. "See you there on Saturday."
Mel squeezed Loren's hand. Kelly smiled; she knew this had made their day. "So Loren see you here tomorrow at 1? You can meet my boys then, they're with my mom right now at the park."
"Yes and thank you again nice meeting you Mr. Madsen."
"Thank you Loren, nice meeting you too."
Both girls left. Mel couldn't stop jumping. "Loren it's our first concert!"
"Did you see how beautiful he is Mel?" Loren hugged the tickets.
Mel shrugged her shoulders she knew Loren would never be the same!
