Loren just stood there, she had never seen Richard like this, she had seen him upset, but never like this.

"Richard please calm down, I will explain everything, but not until you lower your voice," Loren said.

Richard didn't realize how loud he was, Loren looked scared, though all he could do was wonder, what was going on.

Loren noticed Richard was calm, there was no turning back she had to tell him, she didn't know what was going to happen, but he deserved the truth.

"I drove him home yesterday, we had a conversation and then we kissed," Loren said she couldn't look at Richard she knew she hurt him.

RIchard didn't know what to think, was it just a kiss, did something else happened, in order to sleep well tonight he had to know, though hearing Loren saying those words "kisses" just made him want to get out of the house and look for Eddie.

"Did anything beyond a kiss happen?" Richard asked, oh how he was hoping for a no.

"I stopped before anything happened, I didn't want to hurt you, but I already did, and I don't think I would ever do anything with him he broke my heart six years ago, that is why I was so hesitant to be with you I was afraid of everything, but then you taught me it was okay, and I ruined it, I am not going to ask for forgiveness because I don't deserve it." Loren knew it, it was over, she just couldn't look at him, she knew she hurt him so she grabbed her keys and headed towards the door.

Richard just felt crush, but at least she wasn't trying to keep it a secret, she was going to tell him, he was in love with her, love makes you do crazy things, he couldn't let her go he thought.

Richard grabbed for Loren, though he saw Loren wasn't making eye contact, he got his hand, put them on her chin and gently brought her face up. Richard thought he was the only one who was crushed, but Loren looked crushed too, her eyes watery and she couldn't even contain a smile anymore.

"Do you really love me?" Richard asked.

"Love you, yes with all my heart," Loren said glazing into his eyes.

"Well, than I need you to answer me one more question," Richard said.

"What is that?" she asked, but she new very well what it was.

"Will you marry me?"

Loren didn't even have to say a word, she just kissed him, and as she slowly pulled away from the kiss, "Yes," she said.

Richard was happy, it wasn't the way he planned for everything to happen, but he knew she was his. Richard expected crying like all the movies when the girls cried, but then again he didn't care.

Richard grabbed Loren and brought her into the bedroom like a newly wed.

Loren and Richard kissed, and everything began to get more intense. Loren all she could think of was, no she couldn't do this and she had told him before.

"Please stop," she said.

Richard than realized, he had promised her to wait until they were married, but all he wanted was her and only her, but he respected her.

"I'm sorry, I just forgot," he replied.

"It's fine," she replied, the truth is she never had done it, and she said she would wait, wait for the right person. Though even though she was engaged, it still didn't feel right.

The next morning Richard and Loren were happier than ever, though they needed to plan when the wedding was but the most important thing was telling Mel and Nora.

"So when do you want to have this wedding?" Loren asked.

"How about next week?" Richard suggested.

"Next week? I don't have a dress, we haven't found a place, and what about the food?"

"What if I told you I already have the place and food all you need is the dress."

"How long have you exactly been planning this?"

"Ever since we left I've been wanting to ask, but I thought it would be better you know if I asked you and got permission first," Loren was impressed.

"Well than next week is perfect" Loren responded. "Now to call Mel and mom to come with me to a fitting, I have to look for one now."

—

Loren arrived to her mom's place Mel and Nora were there and so was Max.

Loren couldn't wait any longer. She just showed the ring to everyone. Everyone just stood there, what had Loren done they thought.

Max left the room, and into the kitchen. He grabbed his phone and called soemone who needed to know this information more than anyone else.

"Hello," Eddie said.

"Son I need to tell you something." Max replied.

Eddie didn't like the sound of his tone, something worried him. "Whats wrong pops?"

"Loren, she is engaged."
