Chapter 5 – Brazil

Loren's POV

OK this is really awkward. We're sitting in the car and the rain is pouring hard outside. I still can't believe what happaned up there. Was Eddie really going to kiss me? I mean I really want him to or I don't know. This is still so unbelievable. I've been dreaming about meeting Eddie Duran and becoming his girlfriend ever since I was 16 but now this daydream became reality. Me and Eddie are like best friends and I don't if I really want to throw that friendship away and jump into something else. While thinking I haven't noticed that Eddie has already took off and now we're back at his house.

Eddie: Are you OK?

Loren: Yeah. Why?

Eddie: You've just been quiet since we left.

Loren: Everything's fine, just thinking about stuffs.

Eddie: OK… So since the fun time plans failed. What do we do now?

Loren: I don't know. What would you like to do?

Eddie: Well, I haven't seen my mom a lot this week so how about we suprise her with a visit.

Loren: Great idea! Haven't seen Mama Katy in a while.

Eddie: You know she loves you.

Loren: Really?

Eddie: Yeah. She always talks about you. I think she thinks of you as her own daughter.

Loren: Yes. She's pretty like a second mother to me too… I'm just so happy with my life now. I mean I have everything I've ever wanted. A loving family and friends, great career and fans… and I'm able to share my music with the rest of the world. Everything's great.

Eddie smiled and put his hands above mine. We arrived to the Duran mansion and Eddie parked the car on the driveway. Another car was there and it wasn't Max. I looked at it better and realized it's my mother's. She didn't tell me she was coming over here.

Eddie: Is that your mom's car?

Loren: Yes it is.

Eddie: Then it looks like we'll have a mother-son and daughter time.

Loren: Yeah.

Eddie stepped out of the car and walked over to my side. He opened the door for me and offered his hand to help me out. We walked to the door hand in hand and went inside. We heard noises from the kitchen so we walked there. My mom was setting the table and Katy was talking about us. We stepped aside and eavesdropped the conversation.

Katy: Yes. They became very good friends… and maybe even more.

Nora: What do you mean?

Katy: I mean that, I've talked to my son many times since then and his eyes always lighten up if she gets involved into the subject, his lips turned into a smile and etc. I just wanna say the way they look at each other shows me that there's more between them than a friendship.

Nora: I know. Loren's the same, but I think it will take more time for Loren to open up.

Katy: Why?

Nora: Cause ever since she first saw him, when she was I think 16, she's been dreaming about meeting him and other stuffs – Smiling. – Even when she became an international rockstar, she was the same fangirl over him and now they're like best friends. This entire thing is new for her and she doesn't want to ruin it with a relationship.

Katy: I understand, but you can understand me too. My son has been through so much and I just want him to be happy. With all the fame and us it is way more hard for him to find his true love.

Nora: Katy. – She walked up to Katy and puts her arms around her. – They will get together. I'm sure of that. We just have to wait till they realize they belong together.

Katy: I hope so.

My face was like a tomato after they stopped talking. I looked up and saw that Eddie was blushing too. OMG this will make things more awkward than it is now. I walked into the room and our parents pulled away.

Nora: Hey guys! What are you doing here?

Katy: Yeah. We thought you spend the evening together.

Eddie: Well we planned on it. But the rain got into the picture, so we thought we visit our amazing moms.

Katy ran over to Eddie and hugged him. He picked her up and spun her around.

Loren: Mommy.

I walked over to her and pulled her into an embrace.

Nora: I love you honey.

Loren: Me too.

Katy So we were just about to start dinner. Do you wanna join us?

Eddie: Of course. I missed your cook so much.

We all sat down at the table. Eddie besides me and Katy and mom oppisite us.

Eddie's POV

Eddie: So what are we eating?

Katy: Lasanga.

Eddie: Oh delicious, but I think I didn't hear you correctly mom. Loren do you wanna tell me what are we having for dinner?

Nora started laughing cause she knew where I'm going with the subject. I looked at Loren's face and she was blushing and smiling. I just love teasing her. She's so cute when she's blushing.

Loren: No, I don't. Ask someone else.

Katy: OK. What is going on here? I don't understand.

Nora: When Loren was little she loved lasagna…

Loren: … but I didn't know how to say it correctly.

Nora: She still does.

Loren: Mom!

Nora: What?

Katy: OK, now I have to hear it.

Loren: No.

Katy: Please Loren. Do it for me not for them! Please!

Loren: OK… I would like an other serve of las-ag-na.

We all laughed and Loren's face instantly turned into red.

Katy: That was so cute.

Eddie: I heard it second time and it's still the cutest thing I've ever heard.

I said and put my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me with a smile on her face and it was still red like krabs. I love that I have this effect on her, but she's got the same on me. We talked about other stuffs and had a great time. I'm gonna miss this family dinners while we'll in Brazil, but at least I'll have Loren with me.


The following two days have gone fast. The next day they had dinner together with their families and friends. Everyone said goodbye to them and they were ready to leave. On the day before they'd took off for the show Loren spent the night at Eddie's place so it'll be way more easier to get to the airport.


Loren's POV

This is the day we leave for the show. I'm so exicted and at the same time very sad cause I'm gonna miss my family and my friends. Now I'm standing besides the car while Eddie putting our luggages to the truck. We got into the car and the driver drove off to the airport. The private jet and our family were waiting for us. We said one last goodbye to each other and then went up to the plane.

Eddie's POV

We arrived safely and a limo was waiting for us there. It drove us to a hotel and two men led us to our room. There were two backpacks on one bed. There was only one bed they must have given the wrong room to us. Not that I'm complaining. I tried to convince Loren that I'll sleep on the couch, but she said it was OK if I sleep with her. So we changed into our PJs and climbed into the bed. Loren was laying on her side and I wrapped my arms around her. She snuggled closer and we fell asleep in each other's arms.
