Ok this is a little different! Loren is not fangirling over Eddie in this story yet! She could care less, and Eddie is the one who will show interest! This amazing song (Title of the new story) reminds me of our couple, leddie, I was inspired by the song and this story was born, so I hope you will like it and it will have chapters, how many, not sure yet. This is will always be Leddie's song! I hope you enjoy it! R&R
You've got this hold on me. Chapter 1
Eddie sat in the terrace of his penthouse, he had been there for several hours, Ian and Max were worried, he had been quiet and pensive, after all finding out that the woman he was going to marry was just arrested for driving the car that drove Max and Katy Duran off the road 2 years ago killing Katy Duran.
Ian finally walked outside to the terrace. "Eddie it's been almost 4 hours, you have to come in and eat something."
Eddie was probably still in shock, how could this happen and how could Chloe even come near him and flirt and say she loved him when she knew all along what she had done, Eddie finally realized Ian was standing there. "For a moment I thought Tyler did this to get back at Chloe, to get back at me, I thought it was a lie but with all the proof he presented the police, it was her Ian, she did this."
Ian heard pain in Eddie's voice. "Come inside and eat something."
Max watched, he knew the moment he met Chloe she was bad news, but never imagined she was to blame for his wife's death.
After a few minutes, Eddie got up and went inside. He finally sat down to eat. He had to leave and just get away, he drove to his parents bungalow and stayed there, he was grieving his mom's death again, knowing who did this to her was more painful than he thought.
After a couple of months, he finally returned to LA and went to see Jake and Kelly.
"Hey Eduardo, I'm glad to see you."
Kelly offered a hug. "I'm so sorry Eddie, I didn't get to see you before you left."
"Thanks Kelly." He turned towards Jake.
"I know Jake, my mom wouldn't want me to sit around and do nothing, I love my career and my fans and I love what I do, after getting away for a few months I think I am back on track."
"That's what I want to hear, let the law handle Chloe."
"I'm just glad this is all over."
"You do know Chloe is headed to trial, how do you feel about that?"
Eddie was looking out the windows and sighed. "Honestly? At first confused, mad and I wanted the worst for her, but for some reason I felt relieved."
Jake furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"I can't explain it Jake, for weeks I had this feeling Chloe was lying about something."
"Well as long as you get back to work." Jake handed Eddie a pen. " Let's sign some of these contracts and then I'll treat you to lunch at Rumor."
" Best idea you've had so far Jake."
Meanwhile….
Melissa Sanders and Loren Tate had just parked at Rumor.
"Lo I think you will like this job, Mr. Rumor said the job consists of taking customers to their seats, I think he said hostess, something like that!"
Loren smiled, actually relieved to have some income on summer break.
"Thanks Mel for thinking of me, I need to work, I need to cover some school expenses."
"You got that scholarship which is really helping you pay for school."
"I know Mel and I'm thankful for that, but at 21 I can't rely on my mom anymore."
"Lo your mom wouldn't mind helping you, but let's go inside and see what Mr. Rumor has to say."
They walked in and Mel spotted Mr. Rumor nearby. "Hi, remember me?"
"Of course Melissa, how can I forget the girl who hit my car."
Loren looked at Mel. "You hit his car?"
"No biggie, anyway Mr. Rumor this is Loren, I told you about her."
Mr. Rumor turned to see Loren looking at her from head to toe. "You were right Melissa, she's beautiful."
Loren furrowed her look both towards Mel and Mr. Rumor. "Ok is this is a hostess job right?"
"I told you it is, you sit the customers and bring them a drink and then just tell them the waitress will be with them shortly." Replied a proud Melissa.
Mr. Rumor smiled. "Not to worry Loren, I need a beautiful hostess and you my dear are very beautiful."
Loren blushed and took a deep breath. "Thank you, but am I paying for what Mel did to your car?"
"Oh no my dear, part of our agreement after she hit my car was to help me find a beautiful hostess and she came through."
Loren looked at Mel.
" I thought you said you found this job for me?" Loren was at awe at how Mel wasn't even worried about what she did to Mr. Rumor.
"I did, when I hit or should we say Mr. Rumor, I bumped your car."
Mr. Rumor laughed. "I really like you Melissa, otherwise I would have sued you for millions."
"Oh Mr. Rumor, you couldn't resist my offer when you told me I would have to work to pay for the small damage."
Loren looked at Mel shocked. "Mel this job was for you?"
"Well you look better in that tiny black skirt and the cute tank top, not for me Lo."
Loren needed reassurance. "So wait, am I paying for what you did?"
Mr. Rumor smiled. "No Loren, she will do something else, but seeing you today, well that helps her, please go try the skirt and top and come back."
Loren looked at the tiny skirt and top. She looked at Mel. "Ok where can I change?"
"There's a powder room in the back." Replied Mr. Rumor.
Loren walked towards the room with Mel is tow. "Lo it's a great job, tons of celebrities come into this place, you never know who you might meet."
Loren went into the huge powder room. "Wow this is a beautiful room."
"See I knew you'd love it Lo."
"This doesn't change the fact that you tricked me, you hit his car? Can you imagine what kind of car the owner of this place has?"
"I think it was a BMW, are they expensive?"
"Omg Mel, I don't believe you!"
"I know I know Lo, so go and try on the top and skirt." Mel sat at the nearest chair, she played with her hair waiting for Loren to come out of the dressing room.
Loren put on the tank top that hugged her tiny top beautifully and the skirt wrapped around her tiny waist and curvy hips perfectly. She had heels on so she looked amazing as she turned around to see herself on the huge mirror on the wall.
"Hurry Lo!"
"Hold your horses Mel!"
Loren came out and Mel's jaw dropped. "Oh Lo, you look hot girl. Look at your butt, it looks good, I see tips in your future."
"Oh shut up Mel, I don't know about this!"
Mel held her hand and made Loren turn around. "Lo you seriously look hot in that outfit, I mean you'll make a ton on tips alone by sitting the customers and bringing them drinks."
Loren kept checking herself in the mirror. "I don't know Mel, I'm not use to wearing stuff this tight."
"Come on, Mr. Rumor wanted to see you in this, let's go see if he'll hire you." She grabbed Loren's hand and practically dragged her out. "Mel will you slow down, I'm trying to pll this skirt down, it's too short, I can barely bend down."
"Lo it's spandex material, it will adjust to your body, give it time girl!"
Jake and Eddie were walking into Rumor and they ran into Max. "Pops you coming for lunch?"
"No I'm at MK with Nora and she's fixing the mess the other accountant left, it's been a week and she's still at it, so I ordered take out."
They walked in as Mr. Rumor arranged some seating charts. "Hey Ray!"
Mr. Rumor turned and smiled. "Oh my favorite customers good to see you."
Jake pointed to Eddie. "When we're hungry, Eddie and I know where to come for lunch or dinner."
Max smiled. "I'm picking up to for takeout Ray."
Loren and Mel arrived and stopped behind Mr. Rumor, who was still talking to Eddie, Jake and Max.
Mel coughed trying to get his attention. "She's ready Mr. Rumor, what do you think?"
Mr. Rumor turned. "Loren you look amazing, the job is yours if you want it."
Max turned and recognized Loren. "Loren what are you doing here?"
" Hi Max, I need a job now that I'm on summer break."
Mr. Rumor was surprised. "Max you know this beautiful child?"
"Yes, her mom is my accountant, so please Ray be good to her."
"She has the job, she's my new hostess."
Max turned to his son. "Oh Eddie this is Loren, she's Nora's daughter."
Eddie smiled but couldn't stop himself as his eyes glanced at Loren from top to bottom. "Nora's daughter, nice to meet you Loren." Max turned to Jake. "This is Jake, Eddie's manager."
Loren simply smiled and nodded. "Nice meeting you both." She was still pulling at the skirt.
Jake smiled and turned towards Ray. " We're hungry."
Mel stepped in. "In case anybody is interested, I'm Mel." She extended her hand towards Eddie. "I'm a huge fan by the way." "Thanks." Replied a smiling Eddie and his eyes went back to where Loren stood. Mr. Rumor turned towards Loren. " Loren if you want the job you're hired, take these gentleman to their seats, the corner table is always reserved for them. "Yes Mr. Rumor." She grabbed some Menu's and looked at Jake and Eddie. "Follow me please."
Eddie looked at Jake. "I think I'll step ahead of you."
They arrived at their table and Loren placed a menu by each of them. "Can I get you a drink?"
Eddie couldn't keep his eyes off this beautiful brunette. "I'll have a beer." "Same for me." replied Jake. "So Loren, would you like some tickets for Eddie's concert at the Avalon?"
Loren smiled. "No thanks, Your waitress will be here shortly." She walked away, not even acknowledging the fact that Eddie Duran was there.
Jake was stunned and turned towards Eddie. "Did she just say no?"
