New Times Hollywood Heights S2

Prom Chapter 3

In was finally Prom day, Mel ran around trying to find the perfect shoes to go with her bright blue dress that sparkled vividly.

Eddie made sure Kelly found the perfect designer for Loren's dress. She called one of the best to do just that. Loren's hair was picked up and it cascaded with large curls to the side, her make-up was impeccable, slightly matching the beautiful peach dress she was wearing. It was long and hugged her curves perfectly; it was strapless with tiny roses surrounding the edges with perfect little crystals attached to each one of them.

She finally stepped in front of the mirror and gasped as she slightly turned around to get a good look. Kelly smiled; she knew Loren was happy with her look. "You look gorgeous." Kelly said.

Loren was still unsure. "I think it's too much, I don't want to look better than anyone else."

Kelly walked closer to her. "You are perfect, Eddie will love it, and he's going to be the envy of every guy."

"No way, I think it's the other way around, I'm sure any girl would kill to be in my place."

Kelly made sure everything was in its place as she checked Loren's dress. "Well you're just as famous as Eddie and believe me when I tell you that Chloe never looked this good."

"Kel you're too sweet."

"Hey I speak only the truth, I've seen pictures in Jake's archives and there's no comparing you to Chloe."

Loren bit her lower lip. "Well I have to admit I love the sound of that."

Nora walked in along with Mel: both women froze at the sight of Loren standing before them. "Omg Lo you look hot!"

Nora nudged her softly. "No Mel she looks exquisite, sweetie you're beautiful, and Eddie will not be able to take his eyes off of you."

"Thanks mom." She hugged her and smiled as she noticed Mel looking at her from head to toe. "Will you stop!"

"I can't, you look like a superstar." Mel responded still checking her best friend's look for that evening's prom.

"I'm just me, Loren the senior who's graduating in two weeks, Loren who's going to prom with her boyfriend and nothing else."

Mel shook her head. "Yeah well, say what you want, but you're walking into the prom holding hands with Eddie Duran."

"I love you Mel for always being so supportive, but Eddie is just a regular guy tonight, there is no Rock stars or celebrities, I want to enjoy prom with my boyfriend."

"Ohhh lalala.." Mel responded while she arched her eyes towards Loren.

Nora rolled her eyes. "There's none of that tonight Melissa."

Mel shrugged and slightly smiled at Nora. "Ok ok I know mama Tate, we will all be at our best behavior."

"Exactly now you both better get ready, Eddie and Adam will be arriving any moment now."

And as soon as Nora said that the doorbell rang. Mel was going to answer the door but Kelly stopped her.

"No you both wait here, I will let them in and then you both can make an entrance."

Kelly smiled when she opened the door and saw two very handsome men dressed in black tuxedos, both holding a see through box that held a corsage.

Kelly smiled; this brought back her own prom memories. "Tonight is a special night, you both look very spiffy."

Eddie furrowed his eyes. "Spiffy that's what you get with my tux?"

Adam smiled. "She old school Eddie."

"Ahhh ok." He looked around. "Are the girls ready?"

As soon as he said that Loren and Mel walked in. Eddie dropped the box he held when Loren came into the room.

"Wow babe, you look gorgeous and amazing."

Kelly laughed. "Duran stop drooling."

Loren blushed as she sighed. "Thanks and you look very handsome yourself."

"No way, you are gorgeous babe." He leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips. "I love you."

Loren felt the butterflies the moment their lips touched. "I love you too."

He held her hand. "Ready? Your limo waits." Loren smiled and both walked towards the door. Nora waved. "Don't forget to have fun."

Loren turned and waved back as she and Eddie headed to the limo. Mel looked at Adam. "So do I look good or what?"

Adam shook his head. "Of course you do, I didn't want to interrupt Eddie and Loren, and you look beautiful Mel."

"Ugh wish you had the look Duran has every time he sees Loren." Adam smiled. "I could try."

Mel's eyes widen. "Adam please stop, you need to practice a lot." She grabbed her purse and held his hand as they trailed behind Loren and Eddie. Nora smiled as she closed the door.

Kelly picked up her bag. "Ok my job is done, how about dinner Nora? My treat."

"Sure, let me get my bag."

The limo arrived at the Hilton Hotel; one by one the limo's stopped. Eddie exited the limo holding Loren's hand; she held her dress as she stepped out. Adam got off and looked around. "This is a beautiful place." He stated and Eddie coughed signaling him that Mel was waiting inside the limo. He finally extended his hand. "Ugh Adam you have to pay more attention." She muttered.

"Sorry Mel, I was admiring this place." She rolled her eyes walking ahead of him.

They walked into the banquet room; it was beautifully decorated, perfect for the theme of the night.

(The best is yet to come.) Eddie held Loren's hand tighter. "The theme fits you perfectly babe."

"It fit us both perfectly." She was quick to respond. Eddie held her close enough to kiss her. Mel nudged them softly. "Would you two love birds mind waiting until we find our table?"

Brenda the senior class president walked to where Loren and Eddie were looking for their table.

"Loren we have a table ready for both of you."

"Really?" She wasn't too pleased, she didn't want special treatments.

"Well we voted this morning, after we heard you and Eddie would be attending, and we decided to officially crown you both king and queen, the vote was unanimous."

"What an honor." Eddie responded and smiled as he held Loren's hand and they followed Brenda to the table they had prepared for them.

"Is this fair?" Loren was mortified.

"Of course it is, you're a celebrity now and it's an honor to have you and Eddie here tonight."

"Who else is sitting with us?"

"You can choose anyone you want."

Mel reached their table. "I guess being famous has its perks."

"Oh stop it Mel, you and Adam can join us, I refuse to sit here alone with Eddie, and I don't think it's fair to give us the title when so many were running for this."

"Babe this is only the beginning."

"I know it is but not this way, I want to get things just like everyone else."

He pecked her cheek. "And you will, you have to get used to having things handed to you."

Eddie felt a tug on his arm and turned to find Leah standing there. "Hey what are you doing here?"

She couldn't hide how she felt to be standing next to Eddie. "Hi." She arched her eye smiling without taking her eyes off of him.

Mel rolled her eyes and slightly turned towards Loren. "I don't trust this witch."

"Mel, shhhh she might hear you."

"No she can't, just look at her; she's swooning all over your man."

Eddie was still holding Loren's hand. "I heard you moved to L.A?"

"I did, Jeremy is registered at school, he's a senior this year and needs to finish."

Mel interrupted her. "This is the senior prom; I take it you're not a senior?"

"Well I repeat my brother is."

Mel snickered. "Of course, what else could possibly bring you here tonight?"

Loren nudged her signaling her to be quiet. Eddie turned his attention to Leah once more.

"Did you talk to Jake? He's going to be your manager if things work out."

She grabbed his arm, slowly pulling him towards her direction. "I did, he says Jeremy and I are opening for you in a few weeks."

Mel wouldn't give up. "So that's why you're here?"

Leah was upset with Mel's insistence. "It's Jeremy's prom, and he couldn't come alone."

"Ha! So you decided to join him? Well go back to his table; this is the queen and king table."

"I'm leaving ok?" She looked at Eddie. "I'll see you later."

Loren's eyes widen. "Mel!"

"You better keep your eyes open Loren, this witch has every intention of taking Eddie away from you."

"I'm not worried, my relationship with Eddie is safe, I know he loves me and I love him, neither one of us would ever do anything to hurt what we have."

"Ha! You don't but she does!"

Mel sat down and Adam sat next to her. "You don't like her do you?"

"No, she's trouble, if anyone thought Adrianna was the biggest problem we had, this one is definitely one to watch."

Adam smiled acknowledging prom's king and queen. "Look at Eddie, he's so into Loren there's no way anyone can get into that."

"I know Adam, I don't like what I see or trust Leah, look at her, she's at the table across from us and she won't take her eyes off of Eddie."

"How do you know its Eddie she's looking at?"

"Wake up Adam, look at her."

"All I see is a girl looking this way, so many other girls are looking this way as well, and I'm sure wishing it was them with Eddie."

"Yes I know others are looking at Eddie, but they don't have that look Leah has, I see a jealous and envious girl who will stop at nothing to get what she wants."

"Calm down, you're getting upset and we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves."

"I'd enjoy it more if she wasn't here!"

As everyone took their seats, Brenda announced dinner was being served, with music playing in the background, everyone chatted quietly and enjoyed their dinner. As soon as dinner was over, all the ladies made their way to the bathroom to touch up their make-up and make sure they were still looking beautiful, lot of the girls were complimenting Loren on her appearance. Adrianna joined in as well.

"You look gorgeous Loren."

"Thanks Adrianna and you look very beautiful, especially with the baby bump."

She touched it. "You think so?"

"Of course, and you and Phil look great tonight."

"Thanks Loren, that means a lot."

Leah touched up her lipstick; she was a few feet away from where Loren and Mel were. "If she comes anywhere near us I swear I'll drag her out of this room."

"Melissa I swear I don't know you anymore, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry Loren, I don't trust her, look at her, she hasn't stopped looking at you all evening, and she's up to no good."

"Mel you're going to make yourself sick, let's enjoy prom." She grabbed Mel's arm. "Let's go, the dance of the king and queen is about to start."

"Ok." Mel slowly turned and caught Leah smiling at her, she arched her eye. Mel scurried behind Loren. "I promise to stop saying anything else about that witch tonight, but I'll be watching her very closely."

"Come on Mel, let's join Eddie and Adam."

They stepped back into the room, Brenda stood at the podium and announced that the dance of the king and queen would be starting, both Eddie and Loren were asked to the dance floor and the music started. Eddie held his girl with so much love, Loren's arms wrapped around his neck and his hands fell holding her softly from the waist, their eyes met and for that moment, they were the only two in that room. Mel smiled and sighed, she knew it was true love for her best friend and Eddie, she noticed Leah making her way out of the ladies room and stood there watching them as they swayed across the dance floor, all the girls awed in unison. It was a very romantic moment.

As soon as the song ended, Brenda asked all couples to join them on the dance floor. Jeremy turned to his sister. "So do you want to dance?"

"Are you crazy? Go ask one of the many wall flowers standing over there."

"Why aren't you with them? It's obvious you're here with no date."

"You jerk! I plan on dancing, just giving Eddie Duran his space for now, he and I will be dancing tonight."

"Are you still on that?"

"On what? I told you he won't be with Loren that much longer."

"Open your eyes, he's so in love with Loren, there's no way he has eyes for any other girl in this room or anywhere else."

"Just wait and see I'm not giving up that easy."

Jeremy noticed her tone; this wasn't the Leah he knew. "Are you sure you're my sister?"

"Oh stop it, of course I am, but I'm tired of never getting anything I want, the night we found Eddie, my life changed, I knew we were destined to be together."

Jeremy shook his head. "Don't you dare hurt Loren!"

"Awww you still crushing on her?"

"She's beautiful and very sweet, I have two classes with her and she's always so willing to help when I ask."

"Then it's done, I keep Eddie and you can have Loren."

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Leah you can't be this mean, don't forget Eddie is willing to help us launch our careers, he was grateful for our help."

"I know he was grateful, you know I've been his number one fan, who knew he would end up at our farm, its fate, it was meant to happen and do you know why?"

Jeremy crossed his arms, rolling his eyes. "Let me guess, he was meant for you? You're crazy you know that, what about Larry?"

"Shut up, Larry is the past, it's your prom and if you won't enjoy it then I will be enjoying this night, watch me dance with Eddie." She smirked. "Miss Loren Tate isn't the only girl who gets to dance with him tonight." She smiled. "Plus we kissed."

"You mean you kissed him! And if I remember correctly he told you he was in love with Loren."

She ignored Jeremy and scanned the room and noticed Eddie was still dancing with Loren. She bit her lower lip. "Enjoy him Loren dear, he's not going to be yours much longer." And made her way towards them.

"Eddie may I have this dance?"

Loren looked at Leah and smiled, nudging Eddie to say yes. Mel rolled her eyes, why doesn't Loren believe her? Leah is trouble!

Chapter ends here! Ugh who wants to zap Leah? Kindly review!
