I'm sorry for taking this long to update, and I'm trying my best to update more often. Thanks for all the support and reviews. You guys motivate me to write more. Thank you so much now enjoy!

Previously on "Meant to be with you": Loren's out of the hospital and she went back to her old home. The one she grew up in that's in the Valley. Loren and Mel are friends again but Loren still wants to make it up to Mel for the way she treated her. Eddie offered to take Mel and Loren out for lunch.


(Continuation)

Eddie's POV:

Loren, Mel and I entered Rumors and as soon as we entered a waiter walked us to my usual table. Which was way in the back for privacy. I pulled Loren and Mel's chair out for them and then sat down. I know I'm a gentlemen.

Loren: "This place is amazing and they have my favorite food!" She was so happy which was weird because I never seen a girl excited about food. Then again the only girl's that I have been around were models who chowed on carrot sticks and salad.

Eddie: "What's your favorite food?" I wanted to know for future purposes because I was determine to make Loren mines one day. I was willing to wait until she was ready to be in a relationship because there was something about her that was pulling me towards her. I mean after everything that she's been through I still see a smile on her face. She's just so beautiful and that husband of hers was stupid for hurting Loren.

Mel: "This is going to be good!" Mel pulled out her phone out and went on her cam-recorder. I noticed Loren shot Mel a glare and I was curious as to what the glare meant.

Eddie: "What's going to be good?"

Mel: "You asked her what her favorite food is" vaguely she said. I was confused.

Eddie: "Okay . . . so Loren you didn't my question." I looked at Loren and she blush. So cute when she blushes.

Loren: "Fine, but don't laugh at me."

Eddie: "I make no promises."

Mel: "Wait . . . okay now!" She press record on her phone and Loren covered her face with her hand but then remove her hands and started talking.

Loren: "My favorite food is La-sa-g-na. Happy now!" She put her hands back over her face and her face turned red. "See I told you not to laugh. I can't pronounce it right."

Mel: "Finally, now I get to play this all the time when I need a laugh. Maybe post this on my blog . . . I'll sent it to you Eddie.

Eddie: Trying to control my laughter I was finally able to get some words out. "Hey it's okay. Lots of people pronounce the 'G' in lasagna." I started laughing again. When I finally calmed down I said "I think it's cute."

She blushed a dark shade of red. She removed her hands from her face and looked at me. Still blushing we locked eyes. I feel like Loren and I were meant to be. I know it's too soon to be feeling this way but I can't help it. For the past 24 hours that I've known Loren there's this strong connection between us. As usual we were interrupted from our little staring contest. The waiter came and took our orders. About hour later we were ready to go. I was going to drop Mel home first then take Loren home. On our way out I bumped into someone. At first I thought it was a waiter ready to take another tables order but it was someone I thought I told to stay away from me. I really didn't want to do this right now especially in front of Loren and her friend.

Person: "Oh, Hey Eddie! I was hoping I'd run into you here. Why are you around these kids? You should be with me picking out a new house to raise our baby." I gave her a 'get out of my face look' but she brushed it off.

Eddie: "Chloe, I don't have time for you as you can see I got somewhere to go." You could kind of see her belly bump now, but that didn't stop her from wearing a tight pink sparkly long sleeve shirt with beige skinny jeans. From the corner of my eyes I glanced at Loren. All I saw was pure hatred towards Chloe. "Oh, and for the last time that's not my baby. Instead of stalking me you should go try and find out who your baby daddy is."

Loren: "Yeah, that's a good idea Eddie. Maybe she should try Brian Smith first." Loren took a step towards Chloe and said. She was so angry and Mel and I were in the background with the expression 'what the hell is going on', on our faces.

Eddie: "Who's Brian Smith?" I gave Chloe a questioning look.

Loren: "Brian, is my ex-husband and also the father of this women's child. I'll meet you by the car." She ran out the restaurant with Mel closely behind.

Mel: "Yeah, I'm going to go too." Mel said trying to avoid an awkward situation.

Eddie: "So during our whole relationship you've been cheating on me. Wow Chloe, thank God I'm done with you."

I walked out the door and headed to the car. I heard calling my name but I didn't care. I'm officially over her and I've moved on to someone else. I just hope she'll give me a chance. So that time when I walked in on Chloe and some dude, it wasn't Tyler it was that ass I had beat up. We got in the car and I dropped Mel home and was on my way to Loren's mom house.

Loren: "Do you want to come inside? My mom's not home, she's still at work and it gets kind of Lonely." I wanted to talk to her about what she planned on doing about Brian.

Eddie: "Sure." I pulled up in the drive way and walked to the passenger's side to open the door for her. Then we walked to her door. She lifted the mat that was on the floor and took the key and opened the door.

Loren: "My mom is still the same." She walked to the living and sat down on the couch so I followed her. I could tell something was bothering her. I mean of course something is bothering her but after that little Chloe confrontation she just seemed different from earlier when we were eating lunch. She was smiling, laughing at Mel's jokes and we all even shared childhood stories. "So what do you want to do?"

Eddie: "Loren I know something's bothering you. Talk to me." I turned my body and attention to Loren.

Loren: "You're right something is bothering me. I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to believe that Brian's going to change but the other part of me knows he isn't. I'm thinking about getting a divorce . . . I just don't know what to do." She buried her face in her hands. "I'm so done with men, they are all the same." That wounded me. She thinks all men are the same.

Eddie: "Not all men are the same. Some are caring and loving. You just haven't found your soul mate, but if it helps that douchebag doesn't deserve a beautiful girl like you." I lifted her chin up so she could look me in the eye. "You got to let him and don't give up on love yet his out there somewhere." Or right in front of you, you just got to give him a chance.

Loren: "Thank you Eddie. Your right but I'm taking a break from love. You're a good friend." That killed me. She hugged me and the turned on the TV.

We watch movies all day then I left to go home. When I got home I was inspired to write a song. Every time I'm around Loren I'm inspired. I sat on the couch with my guitar in my hand and let the melody flow in me. Finally I came up with the words. I really hope this song helps Loren out because it's true.

(Everybody Knows- Dustin Tavella) *Check it out*

Do you really wanna be with him, girl?
When all he ever does is make you cry
And do you think that you can handle the truth girl
When all he ever does is tell you lies
You know what..

He kisses you but he don't mean it
And he don't look into your eyes
And he don't see the things I see girl
So somebody tell me why..

Your boyfriend is a douchebag
And everybody knows
Your boyfriend is a douchebag
Your momma told you so.

You know he's got somebody on the side, girl
And the way he talks to us is a sin
He just keep sinnin' on..
I really think it's time girl
You quit defending him

You keep telling me things are gonna change
yeah, okay.
Will you could never change my mind.

Your boyfriend still a douchebag
And everybody knows
Your boyfriend is a douchebag
Your momma told you so.
And everybody knows
Your boyfriend is..
You got to let him go!
Your boyfriend is a douchebag
Even his momma thinks so.

There ain't no way around it
you really gotta know
that cover up is sweet but phony got that candy coat
You try to make the truth
Look like it's something good
and you perform like he's a star reppin' Hollywood
I know he said he's sorry
But I see nothin real
And yet his mouth keep runnin' track and field.
SO maybe you can help me
understand why you do do do do that!

And tell me why your boyfriend's a douchebag
Girl, everybody knows
your boyfriend's such a douchebag
Your momma told you so,
you know what she said..

You gotta let it go, go! Go! Go!
Gotta let him go! Go! Go!

That night I went to sleep dreaming about Loren. I will do all that I can to her and make her give me a chance.
