Chapter 3: Surprise babe!

Thanks for all amazing reviews guy! You really keep me going on my writing. 3 chapters in about 24 hours! I wont be able to write so much so fast later when I have school to, last term of gymnasiet (sort of high school) so you know how it can get. Anyway, read and enjoy!

Woman: "Hey Eddie, missed me?"

Eddie: What was she doing here? And why now? She knows I'm with Loren so why.. Oh god, Loren! He thought and looked down at Loren who just seemed really confused.

Loren: Who is this chick? and why would Eddie miss her? She looked up at Eddie, he looked a little worried. What the hell is going on?! She was so confused right now.

Jake: "Oh, right you guys know each other." He said as he looked up from the tablet for the first time since they all walked in. "Loren this is Leah, she will be shadowing you tonight to see how you work. She is a potential client so I thought you could show her the ropes."

Loren: Now everything was falling to place for Loren. "Hi, Leah. I'm Loren, nice to meet you" She said with a little hesitation and despite.

Leah: Dame, why does she have to be nice.. this just makes it so much harder.. "Hi" She said and shook Loren's hand and turned immediately to Eddie. "So how have you been Eddie?" She said with a big smile on her face and took a step forward.

Eddie: "I'm just so happy to be back with the love of my life, thanks for all your help by the way" He just want to get this over with so that he could talk to Loren alone about all of this. And Jake.. what was he thinking, but then again he doesn't know.

Loren: What is wrong with this girl and why was he thanking her? I just need to get out of here. "Was that it? because I have to get back to the suite and get ready" She said in a hurry so that Kelly would let her leave.

Kelly: You would need a knife to cut through the tension in here. "Yes, just be ready in forty-five minutes" Something must have happened when Eddie was missing, I know that Leah was the one who helped him and all but what's with all the tension if nothing happened.

Eddie: "Jake, I need to talk to you later!" He said with some anger in his voice. "I just need to talk with Loren first"

Leah: "But Eddie, I was hoping we could talk and catch up" She said and took Eddies hand.

Eddie: "Leah stop! I told you before, I'm with Loren." He said and stormed out and tried to catch up with Loren.


Loren was already locked in the bathroom when Eddie came in to the suite. How could everything go from the top of the world one second and fall all the way down the next. She thought as she heard Eddie knock on the door. She opened the door with a tear in her eye and Eddie just pulled her into his warm embrace and kissed her on the forehead.

Eddie: "Everything is okay babe, nothing happened and you know that I only love you" I could only imagine how Loren felt right now. She took the kiss almost to good and I guess seeing Leah here wasn't really helping her to process it right.

Loren: "I know, but.. I just can't believe she would come here.. after what she did" She said and buried her face in Eddies chest.

Eddie: "Neither do I, but I'm gonna talk to Jake about it later and see what we can do." He said and tightened his grip on Loren.

Loren looked up at Eddie and he leaned in for a kiss. The kiss turn into an intense make out session. Eddie went down and kissed Loren's neck as he pushed her against the bathroom wall. Loren pulled away knowing that if this didn't stop now there was no way that she was gonna make it to the show.

Loren: "Eddie.. if you don't stop we wont make the show" She giggled

Eddie: He kept kissing her as he said "I don't care"

Loren: "Later babe, later" She teased him as she pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door.

Eddie: There it was again, does words. "You so owe me for that ms Loren Tate" He said and walked over to the kitchen as he heard Loren singing in the shower.

He took out his phone and texted: "Are you here yet? She is in the shower, you know the place and time right? and Loren can't know"

Only a few seconds later his phone beeps. The texted said: "Just got here, checking in now. Yes! I can't wait to see the look on her face! See you there."


Loren was getting ready to head over to the festival so that she could get all dolled up. She had three costume changes during the night, two for the stage and one for the after party. On the ride there her nerves kicked in. Oh god, I can't do this. This step is way to big for me to be making.

Eddie:Eddie could see that Loren was starting to freak out, so he took her hand kissed it and said "You can do this Lo, just sing to me and remember that I will always love you"

She just smiled in return and cuddled up in Eddies arms for the rest of the ride.

He really know how to make me smile no matter what's holding me down. I love him and he loves me. Her thoughts make her blush a bit. Thank god for this guy.. no man. I hope he likes my new song


When they get to the festival Loren was taken to the dressing room with Kelly, Leah and the stylists close behind. Eddie and Jake was standing in the hallway on the other side of the door.

Eddie: "Jake, what were you thinking bringing Leah?"

Jake: "What? you were the one who told me to give them a chance. I just want to see if she can take the pressure of the business, her and her brother are really good but I'm just not sure it's their time so this is like a test to se how she would react."

Eddie: "Fine, but don't you have anybody else you can put her on. Loren shouldn't have to deal with her there, trust me it's not such good idea." He was just hoping that Jake wouldn't ask him about it but if that was what it would take..

Jake: "What is it that you're talking about? why isn't it a good idea?"

Eddie told Jake about it all and how Loren reacted and all of that in hopes that Jake could fix it.

Jake: "I see what you're getting at Eduardo, I can't promise anything but I'll see what I can do, okay?"

Eddie: "Thanks Jake, I just have a bad feeling that she might come after Loren to try to come between us and I just don't want that to happen."

Jake: "No worries, but she'll have to deal with her until we get back in L.A. though".

Eddie: "Fine, I have a surprise and some plans with Loren after the show so can you put her with Kelly until we leave tomorrow?"

Jake: "I'm sure I can handle that." Ha said and went back to his tablet. "Can you go and see if Nora and Max are here yet?, they need to be heading to their seats soon"

Eddie: "No problem and thanks Jake" He said as he went to find Nora and Pops.

He took out his phone and texted the same person as before: "Are you on your way? She will be ready soon and I need you here before she goes on"

The answer came fast: "yea, I'm outside now with Nora and Max now, we will be right there"


Meanwhile Loren was about to head out of the dressing room and get ready to perform when Leah started to put doubt in her head.

Leah: "So are you nervous about tonight? I mean I'm not sure that I could take the pressure. But I guess that's why I'm here, to get over my fears. Just knowing that Eddie believe in me makes it so much better, if he hadn't told Jake to give me and my brother a chance I... I guess I wouldn't be here right now"

Loren: I can't believe that she just said that and what is this about Eddie pushing for her and her music? Like he did with me.. I need to talk to Eddie NOW! "Look, I don't know what you think is between you and Eddie but it's non existing, okay! He just wanted to thank you for keeping him alive and out of jail. Don't over analyze any of it!" She said as she headed out the door. Where was Eddie.. I just need..

Eddie: "Hey beautiful, are you ready?" He said as he pulled her in for a kiss but she turned away. "What's wrong babe? He looked in her eyes.

Loren: "Nothing.. Leah just said some stuff.. I need to head to the stage now.." She said quietly and took a step away from Eddie.

Eddie: "What did she say? I'm sure I can explain everything."

Loren: "Eddie..." she doubted but continued "she said that you pushed for her and her music like you did with me. and that without you she would be here right now..!"

Eddie: "Babe, I told Jake to listen to them as a thank you for helping me out. That's it. And on that note I talked to Jake about it and he will try to put her with someone else when we get home. And she will be with Kelly tonight since I have made plans for us."

Loren: "Thanks Eddie, wait what plans? Am I missing something here?" She said just to tease Eddie a bit.

Eddie: "Yes, plans! and I have a surprise for you too."

Loren: "Surprise? tell me, tell me! I'll make it worth your while if you just tell me!"

Eddie: laughing, "I so will take you up on that, and don't worry it will be here any time now"

Loren: "Wait? it will come here? is it Ryan Gosling?" She said which teased Eddie even more.

Person: "I thought that I would be better than Ryan but I guess not..."

Who is the surprise? What will Leah do if Jake moves her..? Thanks for reading guys!

Peace
