I noticed that Eddie became easily distracted with watching the waves around him, and the boats that floated farther out in the water, and i decided to use this fact to my advantage. I took a few steps back and jogged as quietly as I could in the water. I then hopped onto his back and wrapped my legs around his chest and my arms around his neck.
"Oh my god, Loren!" He exclaimed as he leaned forward slightly with my weight now on him, and I just laughed and held on tighter. Eddie suddenly began to spin around in a circle, fast, trying to throw me off. Yeah, buddy, it's not going to be that easy. He did this for about a minute before he gave up with that plan. I laughed once again and smiled victoriously.
"You can't toss me off, I'm a lot stronger than I look." I stated and turned my head slightly to left so I could see his face, and he just chuckled and I loosened my legs a small amount. But after a few moments he smirked slightly and I grew somewhat confused and before I could react he bent forward and flipped me head first into the water.
Well that back fired.
I once again came up gasping for air, moved my hair out of the way and looked at him sternly, and he mimicked my every move. I placed my hand on my hips, and he followed, I crossed my arms in front of my chest and he also did. I began walking back to our towels, but Eddie's hand stopped me. "Alright, alright I'm done now." He admitted. "Good." I stated.
We stayed in the water for a while longer before agreeing to grab some food that Eddie had packed. I let Eddie walk faster than me once we reached to sand, I wanted to enjoy this feeling. I stopped in my tracks and curled my toes slightly, feeling the sand surrounding my feet. I'm enjoying my self, in the first time in a long time I have been able to let myself go completely and just enjoy the moments as they come. I began to walk forward once more and with the more steps that I took the closer I came to Eddie. He had grabbed some sandwiches and two bottles of water out of the blue and white cooler. We began to eat and silence fell upon us.
I had just finished my sandwich and began looking up at the blue sky, watching the few clouds float by as Eddie spoke. "So how are you?" He asked, and my attention focused in on him as I turned my head to look at him. "Fine." I stated, but Eddie peered at me, he knows me too well. "Alright, I have been better."
"So have I." He admitted. "What's going on with you?" I asked and he squinted his eyes at me slightly. "No, no, no, you are not going to get off that easily. I asked you first."I groaned and pressed my lips together slightly, thinking about what is really bothering me.
It's not Melissa, I know that she isn't mad at me or anything any more. So what is wrong? Oh yeah, that's right, my mother. I closed my eyes trying to decided the best way to put this into words. "It's just me mom." I stated and Eddie nodded for me to continue. "Ever since she lost one of her jobs I see her less then I did before, and when I do I can see how stressed she is about everything. I know that she knows how tight money has been for us, for our whole life, and I know that she hates that I stay up at night worrying if we can pay our bills or not."
Eddie just looked at me for awhile before he spoke. "I'm sorry, I can imagine that that must be hard and not to mention stressful."
That's the one problem with talking Eddie about this; he has never had to struggle at all, with his famous parents and all. He has never known what its like to worry that your power will turn off because your boss didn't pay you on time. I have though, for what it seems like my entire life, but over the past five years it has become worse and worse. I looked down to my lay and rubbed my right hand on my left forearms, anxiously. "Yeah, you could say that." I added, that is all the time I wanted to spend on this subject after all i want to enjoy the day and forget about everything and not dwell on it for too long. "So what about you?" I asked and i noticed eddies happy demeanor faulted slightly as he looked down at his green towel. "Chloe came to see me." He stated. "Again?" I asked, recalling that she has attempted to speaker with him about three times this past week. "Yep."
I looked back at him and noticed how his body language had changed. "Anything good?" I asked and he raised he head to make eye contact with me. "Nope just the usual crap." He murmured.
"I'm sorry, I wish that she would just leave you alone."
"That makes two of us."
For about the next hour Eddie and I talked briefly, but we mostly just laid out in the sun, and I took this to my advantage to receive a tan. I closed my eyes and just took in the rays. I stayed like this for a while before I thought of something. I opened my eyes and sat up, I turned my head to the left slightly, it looked like he was sleeping, so I quietly got up, grabbed the cooler and walked to the edge of the water. I opened up the cooler and found that it was empty, good.I scooped up some ocean water, until it was full. I smiled to my self as I walked up the sand. I stood next to Eddie and opened the cooler and dumped it on his head.
Eddie's eyes shot opened and he sat up very quickly. "What the hell?" He exclaimed, and I smiled triumphantly. "Pay backs a bitch." I stated sweetly and walked over to my spot and sat down and pressed my legs into my chest and I rested my chin on my knees . Eddie stood up and shook his head like a dog, causing water to fly everywhere. I put my hand in front of my face to block the flying water. Once it stopped I looked over at Eddie and noticed the water slowly dripping down his bare stomach. He bent down and grabbed he towel and slowly whipped off the water and I looked down and bit my lower lip. He has a very nice looking stomach.
"So what did you want to show me?" I asked in my attempt to stay distracted and not look at him. "Nope, you don't get to hear it now." He stated definitely. I opened my mouth, being some what over dramatic with my expression. "Why not?" I asked as I moved my legs out straight in front of me and crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"That's so not fair!"
"Well too bad, plus I can't show you here anyways."
"Why not?"
"Because I need a piano." He stated and I unfolded my arms and smirked slightly. "So it's a song?" I asked, and he failed to answer. Yeah, it's definitely a song. I wonder what one though i know that he has been writing a lot more lately.
Soon after that Eddie and I returned to the water and of course Eddie started a splashing contest like we were ten. We then walked back to our stuff, I picked up my towel and attempted to wipe the water off with out becoming covered in sand. I leaned forward and began drying my legs when Eddie coughed. I looked up and eyes his curiously. "What?" I asked. "That's a cute swim suit." He stated. I looked down at the sand and felt a redness forming on my cheeks. "Thanks." I muttered.
Eddie and I left soon after that, I probably should check in with my mom, considering I have barely seen her in the past few days. Eddie drove me home, allowing me to control the music, I suddenly got a temptation to roll the windows down and jam out like an idiot, how I sometimes do with Mel. I looked over at the little back switch just a few centimeters away from my fingers, I then looked at Eddie. I guessed he saw that I was doing because he rolled down both out our windows and I leaned forward slightly.
This is something that I am not used to, at all. Sure, with Melissa I am able to be myself, but that took years to build up our strong relationship, but with Eddie it's been less than five months and he has already broke though so many of my emotional walls that I have built up. It's crazy that we have only known each other for such a short amount of time.
The song ended and we both listened to the brief chatter coming off of the radio waves, and soon another song came on. I recognized it right away and I knew that Eddie did to, I turned to him and laughed at the same time he did as well. He didn't attempt to change the station though, he just let his voice boom through the speakers surrounding the car. Listening to this song made me think about the night at the concert as the lyrics seemed through the sound waves, the same as he sang directly to me, months ago. I leaned forward slightly again a turned down the music a bit. "Did you know?" I asked, turning my head slightly to look at Eddie.
"I thought that it was you." He admitted, giving me a few side glances before turning his attention back on the road. "But I wasn't sure until i saw you later that night in the grave yard." He added and I just nodded. "I tried to talk to you, but you went straight to your car and left." He continued.
I looked down at my lap and scrunched my nose up slightly. "Sorry about that, I wasn't in the mood to talk." I stated and the car slowed down to a stop at one of the lights close to my house. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Eddie turned to look at me. "It was the two year anniversary of Kaleigh's death." I added and he nodded, understanding where I was coming from. Silence fell upon us as Something In the Air came to an end on the radio.
In the next five minutes we were at my house. I opened the door and stepped out after refusing to have him walk me to the door. I gently closed the shiny door and took a few steps so I was on the other side of the car, making my way to the front door. "Hey Loren!" I heard Eddie yell, I looked over my shoulder and saw Eddie smiling. "Nice dance moves by the way."
My mouth fell open in realization that Eddie wasn't just focused on me for that one song, but for the whole concert and I was too busy in my own little world to notice anything around me. Wow, that's extremely embarrassing. I eyed the pavement slightly and blushed. I then scoffed and turned on my heal to continue my path to the front door.I heard Eddie burst out laughing, once again, and yelled a quick goodbye before I entered my house and shut the door.
I guess that I shouldn't over react with this. I mean what was I expecting, I should have guessed that he saw me before and not just at that one specific moment. Oh, well there is nothing that I can do about it now.
"Loren, how was you day, well I guess week?" My mother asked me, and I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at her sheepishly. "Good." I answered truthfully. "How about you?" I asked. She looked at me and tried to keep a pleasant face. "Okay, still looking for another job, I had an interview yesterday and i think that it went well, so we can only hope." I placed my hands on the kitchen table, picked up my fork ,and began to swirl spaghetti around my plate. "Loren?" My mom asked and i looked up at her. "That's good." I added just a little bit to late. My mother tilted her head to the left slightly and eyed me. "Your not telling me something" She stated after a few moments. I looked down at my lap and bit my lip.
I might as well tell her. I can't keep this from her any longer. I know that she wont freak out, I just hope she isn't mad. she never has liked secrets, and I'm sure that's still the same.
So I decided to tell her everything.
I opened my mouth and I was just about to speak, as Melissa came barging through my front door. Her curls bounced on her shoulder and she wore heels, with an outfit that only she could pull off. "Mel, what are you doing here?" I asked. "I need to show you something." She stated with a hint of excitement in her voice. "Hello Melissa." My mother added and smiled at her. "Hi Nora!" Melissa exclaimed. She took a few steps closer to me then grabbed my hand and pulled me in the direction of my room. "You don;t have to kidnap me." I stated and she laughed. "You not doing a very good job." My mother added from the kitchen, laughing.
Once we were in my room she closed the door, pushed me onto my bed and grabbed my laptop. She then plopped on the bed, opened it up and searched something. After a few minutes she turned the screen to face me, and I noticed that he was on Perez Hilton's website.
I read it in utter disbelief.
Eddie Duran was spotted with an unknown brown hair beauty. The two of them were seen at the beach yesterday enjoying at little fun in the sun, as seen in the pictures above. Not much is known about this girl, but doesn't she look adorable? If you recall, a few pictures were taken of these two a few weeks ago at rumor, for a lunch date. Is there a possible new hollywood romance beginning? I'll just say that I approve, she looks like a sweet girl, and from what Eddie's record label is saying, it seems like that he has been inspired recently. Is this mystery girl the reason why? Let us know in the comment section below! Hugs and kisses!
I scrolled up to look at the pictures that were posted. There were a few of him and I rumor and mostly they were at the beach. The few that stood out was the ones where I was on Eddie's back, had my legs around him and rested my head on his shoulder.
"So Lo, did anything happen with you and Eddie?"
Wow, this doesn't look good
