My Biggest Case Chapter 3
Eddie's pov.
I don't know what has happened to me. After Loren gave that lecture about her Dad I don't know I just had the urge to go and hug her. It's not me at all, but I just had a feeling like I had to protect her. I'm glad she hugged me back because it just proves to me that no matter how strong she thinks she is, she is just a broken girl inside, and I am going to fix her.
Loren's pov.
I don't know what has come over me. First I'm yelling at Eddie because of how rude he was to me then next thing I know I'm crying uncontrollably in his arms. Great now he thinks I'm weak. Well guess what I'm not.
Loren (pulling apart from the hug): thanks for that I guess. Anyway let's get back to work.
Eddie: are you sure that is a good idea? I mean you found out your dad-
Loren: I know he almost killed someone let's just drop the subject.
All of a sudden Jake comes up to us.
Jake: Is there a problem you two?
Loren: no Jake why would there be a problem?
Jake: oh no reason I just heard a bunch of screaming from across the room but other than that nope.
Eddie: sorry Sir it's just-
Loren (cutting him off): we had a small disagreement about something that's all.
Jake: didn't sound like it to me.
Eddie: that's because it wasn't Loren needs to go home for the day.
Jake: why is she sick?
Loren: no I'm feeling just fine thank you.
Eddie: no she's not fine. She just arrested her dad.
Jake: what? Are you talking about the hostage situation on 5th? That was your Dad?
Loren: if you must know yes that was my Dad but it's no big deal I don't have to come home because of it.
Jake: Loren don't do this again
Loren: Jake if I were you I would stop talking
Eddie: what's going on?
Loren: it's nothing Eddie
Jake: no it's not Loren you can't keep avoiding your feelings
Loren: Jake I'm not avoiding my feelings. I'm just distracting myself.
Jake: exactly. Go home Loren. You need to talk to your mom. You and I both know you don't want what happened last time to happen again.
Loren (tearing up): Jake if I were you I would drop the subject
Jake: only if you go home.
Loren: fine. But only to talk to my mom.
Eddie: wait I'm confused what happened last time?
Loren: it's not important I'm going to leave now.
Jake: and just to make sure you go home, I'm sending Eddie with you.
Loren: why can't Mel come with me?
Jake: because she and Ian are on the field helping with a bank robbery.
Eddie: oh come on Tate it will be fun!
Loren: fine let's go Duran.
As soon as Eddie and I left the station we decided to go get food. On the way there Eddie decides to ask me all these weird questions about me.
Loren (laughing): why do you care so much about how I pronounce my food?
Eddie: I don't I just care about how you pronounce a certain Italian food that you won't tell me about.
Loren: well if we ever go to an Italian restaurant you will find out because my favorite food is there.
Eddie: really?
And with that we make one of the sharpest u turns ever. I bump my head on the window and scream in pain.
Loren: WHAT THE HELL EDDIE?
Eddie: oops sorry about that.
Loren: first you hit me in the face with a door then again on the window what are you going to hit me with next?
Eddie: you'll never know until it happens Mrs.- I mean Ms. Tate
Loren: did you called me Mrs.?
Eddie: sorry it's a force of habit
Loren: you think I'm married?
Eddie: I know you aren't it's just really astonishing.
Loren: astonishing? How is that astonishing?
Eddie: because you are beautiful
Loren: please I bet you've said that to every girl
Eddie: actually no I'm not a player
Loren: that surprises me
Eddie: no I'm serious I have had only one relationship in my life
Loren: really? How long were you guys together?
Eddie: we were together for two years then got married for five.
Loren: wait you were married?
Eddie: Legally I still am, but we haven't really talked in 2 years
Loren: why don't you just get a divorce?
Eddie: someone's a little nosy aren't they?
Loren: oh my god I had no idea you are so right I don't know what I was thinking I-
Eddie: Loren it's alright I was joking.
Loren: oh I knew that
Eddie: sureeee and to answer your question the reason we didn't get divorced is because we think it's best if we were separated without having to deal with all the paperwork and stuff.
Loren: but what if you happen to get engaged
Eddie: then we would do the paperwork and stuff.
Loren: what's her name?
Eddie: Kim
Loren: that's a pretty name
Eddie: yeah it is but I think Loren is way prettier.
Loren (flirting): you know for someone who says they aren't a player sure likes to flirt for a married man.
Eddie: the only thing I'm married to is that signature on a piece of paper. Enough about me how about you?
Loren: what about me?
Eddie: any past boyfriends husbands fiancés?
Loren: well I have only had one boyfriend who turned into my fiancé.
Eddie: who's the lucky guy?
Loren: his name is Cameron and he didn't really get lucky with me
Eddie: what do you mean?
Loren: he cheated on me
Eddie: no way did you know her?
Loren: actually yes I did. She was the woman held hostage by my dad.
Eddie: HER? What was her name Ariana?
Loren: Adrianna
Eddie: wow today is just not your day is it?
Loren: well it wasn't all bad I got to meet you didn't I?
Eddie: Ms. Tate are you flirting with me?
Loren: what? No god get your head in check Duran
Eddie: you were totally flirting with me
Loren: was not
Eddie: was too
Loren: you are just like my brother
Eddie: ew don't say that
Loren: why?
Eddie: because I don't want to think of you as my sister
Loren: well what would you like to think of me as?
Eddie (you have no idea): um well friends colleagues, etc. anyways we are here!
Loren: Eddie no!
Eddie: why what's your problem don't you like Italian? (Smirking)
Loren: ughhh I hate you
Eddie: come on it's my treat I sorta owe you from this morning
Loren: fine let's go
As me and Eddie walked into the restaurant I couldn't help but notice how attractive he is. He was walking in front of me so I had a good view of his butt and let me tell you it was not a bad sighting. Why would his wife ever want to let him go?
Eddie (talking to the hostess): hi can we have a table for two?
Hostess: of course follow me please
Eddie pov.
As the hostess was taking us to our table I couldn't help but stare at Loren like she is so beautiful, smart, funny, and feisty I can't stand it. And she was totally flirting with me today.
Hostess: well here you are
Loren: thank you so much
Eddie (pulling out Loren's chair): here you go mam
Loren: Eddie it's not like we are on a date or anything so you don't have to pull out my chair or anything like that
Eddie: I know it's just that my mom and dad raised me to be a gentleman and I intend to live up to that.
Loren: well that's very sweet of you to say. So what are you getting?
Eddie: I'm thinking of getting the lasagna what about you?
Loren: I'll get that too it's my absolute favorite
Eddie: didn't you say that you can't pronounce your favorite food?
Loren: pshhh no I said no such thing
Eddie: oh my god you can't say lasagna!
Loren: I can totally say it!
Waitress: hi guys would you like anything to drink?
Loren: I'll just have water please.
Waitress: okay and for you sir?
Eddie? Can I have a water too please?
Waitress: sure thing I will be right back with your drinks and I will get your orders in a sec.
Eddie: oh we know what we are getting now if that's okay
Waitress: okay what would you like?
Eddie (smirking): Loren I think you should go first?
Loren: no Eddie I insist you go first
Eddie: no Loren ladies first
Waitress: would you like me to come back?
Eddie: no it's just that my friend here can't pronounce what she wants to eat
Waitress: mam what would like to order?
Loren (sighing): fine I would like to have that please (pointing at the menu)
Waitress: and what would that be mam?
Loren: please don't make me say it
Eddie: mam if she can say what she is ordering I will tip you extra
Loren: Eddie you can't bribe her!
Eddie: it's a free country isn't it?
Waitress: it sure is! Now mam what would you like to eat?
Loren: fine! I would like to have the Lasa-g-n-a please
Eddie (bursting out laughing): oh my god that is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.
Loren: happy now?
Eddie: very.
Waitress: and you sir?
Eddie: I will have the LASAGNA too please.
Waitress (laughing): coming right up Mr. Duran
Eddie: thank you
Loren: she knows your name?
Eddie: yeah I used to come here a lot with Kim
Loren: wow do they know her name too?
Eddie: yep we were like their best customers
Loren: so what are your parents like?
Eddie: well my dad is just the coolest guy you will ever met. He is so funny, sweet, and he will give you the best advice in the world.
Loren: and your mom?
Eddie: she was a great woman. She was beautiful, smart and I could come and talk to her about anything.
Loren: was?
Eddie: yeah she was killed in a car accident about 2 years ago some idiot ran her off the road and she died on impact.
Loren: oh my god I'm sorry I had no idea.
Eddie: no you are fine I just miss her you know?
Loren: did they ever catch the guy who did it?
Eddie: nope they closed the investigation
Loren: well that's not fair you and your dad both deserve answers.
Eddie: you are right. We do but they said that it's dangerous.
Loren: so we are cops that's what we do
Eddie: I know let's just drop the subject please.
Loren: okay
After a while mine and Loren's food came and we just sat there in silence.
Flashback
I was sitting at the restaurant with my wife and she and I were just staring at the food in front of us. We barely got to see each other that week so we decided to go to out to enjoy each other's company.
Eddie: I have an idea. Let's do the thing where we get code names so if anyone tries to hit on you and someone tries to hit on me we have code names. Mine should be Josh. What about yours?
Woman: I like Kimberly
Eddie: well it is very nice to meet you Kimberly Duran
Kim: likewise Josh Duran.
That's it guys for this chapter! So Eddie's wife's name wasn't Kim?! Who is Eddie's mystery wife? Keep reviewing your ideas because I will try my best to use them in my story. I am really excited about this story! I have big plans guys so don't get bored! Love you guys so much!
