~ Previously on Unexpected ~

LOREN'S POV

Loren (crying): I don't want you to love me.

Melissa: She's scared, you know that. You have to win her trust back.

Eddie: How the hell am I going to do that?

Melissa: I only want Loren to be happy. If you make her happy then I want her to be with you.

Eddie: Pops really wants to see his granddaughter. Can I invite my dad for dinner with you and Amy tonight?

Loren (sighs): Yeah sure. I don't want to talk about the heavy stuff tonight okay?

Eddie starts leaning in and I also want to so soon I'm leaning in too but I stop myself when our lips are an inch away from each other.

Loren (whispering): I can't. I don't think I'm ready.

He's looking at me so intense that my heartbeat quickens. The moment feels so intimate.

LOREN'S POV

It's interrupted though by Melissa and Amy walking in. I'm not sure if I'm happy or not about that. Every second I spend with Eddie I get more confused about our relationship. Eddie and I immediately take a few steps back.

Melissa: Ehm...are we interrupting something?

Loren: NO!

Amy (sarcastic): Well, that sounds like we're not interrupting anything.

Loren: Amy, shut your mouth.

Then the doorbell rings. It's probably Max.

Loren: Amy, why don't you finish making the table while Eddie and I open the door.

That's what we do and it's indeed Max. When he sees me his mouth opens a little and he looks shocked but happy to see me. He's much older than the last time I've seen him but he looks good. He looks handsome. When Eddie and I broke up Max and my mom kept dating for a while but eventually it got complicated because of Eddie and I. I hate myself for being the reason they broke up.

Loren (soft): Hey Max, good to see you.

Small tears appear in his eyes. He rushes up to me and brings me into a huge hug. He wraps his arms around me as tight as he can.

Max (holding back the tears): Gosh Loren, I missed you so much.

I feel tears appear in my eyes too and soon I'm crying. I now realise how much I missed him. Max was like a dad to me. No, scrap that. Max WAS my father. We slowly pull back and I'm still crying and there are still tears in Max's eyes.

Loren (crying): I missed you too Max.

Max: You've become a beautiful woman Loren.

Loren (crying): Thank you Max.

I finally stop crying and lead Max into the kitchen. There he immediately stops when he sees Amy. I look at him and see that now he's crying. The last time I saw him cry was when we thought Eddie was dead.

Loren: Amy. This is your grandfather Max.

Amy looks up and she looks amazed. She slowly walks towards Max.

Amy (shy): Hey, nice to meet you.

Max wraps his arms around her while he continues to cry. After a little while he pulls back and wipes his tears away.

Max: You can call me Max, Amy. I can't tell you how glad I am to finally meet you.

After Melissa and Max reunited we sat down to eat. I sit down next to Amy. Eddie sit down next to me and that feels kind of good. Max sits down next to Eddie and Melissa sits down next to Max. I look around and decide that it's time to tell my mom that Amy is Eddie's daughter. She should be here. I just don't know if Max is fine with it since he and my mom have a past.

Loren: Max, is it okay if I call my mom? She should be here but I never told her that Eddie's the father.

Max: Of course it's okay Loren.

EDDIE'S POV

Loren walks away to call Nora and I immediately miss the warmth of her body next to mine. That moment on the couch meant a lot to me. I saw that she wanted to kiss me too but just couldn't. And then that moment in the kitchen. My body was burning with passion and love for her. I now know for sure that there is still hope left. Not that I was going to give up. Loren is the best thing that ever happened to me and I want it back. I was so happy with her. Since she left I've never been that happy. The last part of our relationship I was distant, I know that. That was because I woke up in Chloe's appartment one day with no clue what happened and I had no idea how to tell her. I didn't even know if I should tell her. Now I wish I had. I look at my dad to see if he's really okay with Loren inviting Nora. It looks like he is. He's talking to Amy and they seem to get along. I'm glad they finally met. He and Nora didn't exactly leave their relationship in a good way. Max was always asking Nora to tell him where Loren lived so he could tell me. It was my fault for pushing him to ask her. I was just so desperate to talk to Loren. So desperate to explain. It led to arguments between my dad and Nora about Loren breaking up with me. Nora was on Loren's side of course and my dad defended me most of the time but I think he was on Loren's side too. Loren was like a daughter to him and I could see that when they reunited just now. I feel responsible for the break up between my dad and Nora. I wish I could take it back. I wish I could just scrap the part of my life where I was with Chloe. When Loren takes too long to come back I stand up to go look what's taking so long.

Eddie (standing up): I'm just going to check up on Loren.

I walk out of the kitchen and see Loren pacing around in the hallway. She looks cute when she's nervous. I walk up to her and put a hand on her shoulder making her turn around.

Eddie: You okay?

Loren: Yeah. Just nervous about how she's going to react.

Eddie: Why didn't you tell her back then that I was the father?

Loren: I know she would have made me tell you or she would have told you herself. I didn't want that. I didn't want any contact with you. So I told her it was some dude. She asked me if I told him and I told her I did but that he didn't want anything to do with it. She got really angry about that. That's when I knew for sure I didn't want her to know it was yours.

She then looks up and into my eyes. I guess she sees the hurt in then cause yeah, it hurts that she was so desperate to keep me away. She slowly wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me. I softly wrap my arms around her frame. It feels so right. It's like she belongs in my arms.

Loren: I'm sorry Eddie. I was just really hurt.

Eddie (soft): I know.

The ringing of the doorbell forces us to pull away and I immediately miss the feeling of her body against mine. She takes a deep breath before opening the door.

Nora (walking in): Hey sweetie...and Eddie? What's Eddie doing here?

Loren: Mom, there's something I haven't been honest about.

Nora: Why wouldn't you be honest about something? What could be so important to lie?

Loren: Eddie is Amy's father.

Nora (really shocked): WHAT?! LOREN ELISABETH TATE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Loren: I'm sorry mom. I just didn't want to tell Eddie so I knew I couldn't tell you.

Nora: Loren! Eddie had the right to know. And why is he here right now if he doesn't know?

Loren: He found out a couple of days ago.

Nora: So you took his daughter away from him for 16 years?!

Loren: Yeah, I did.

Nora: Sweetie, that was not your place. I know you were hurt when he cheated on you but he deserved to know he had a daughter.

Loren: I figured he wouldn't mind since he was too busy with his career anyway.

Nora: I'm just glad he finally found out. Does Max know?

Loren: Since a few days yeah. He's actually here right now to meet Amy. We're having dinner and I figured you should be here. Do you want Max to go?

Nora: No, I think it's time to face him.

We all walk into the kitchen. My dad turns around and he and Nora lock eyes. That's when he stands up.

Max: Hey Nora. It's good to see you. You look great.

Nora: I look old.

Max: No you don't. Older but not old.

LOREN'S POV

My mom sits down next to Max and Eddie and I sit down too. My mom, Amy, Melissa and Max start talking leaving me and Eddie listening to them.

Loren: Are you still angry at me for keeping Amy away from you?

Eddie: No, I'm not angry anymore. I'm just disappointed that I missed such a big part of Amy's life. Look, I know I promised not to talk about the heavy stuff today but we have to talk about it some day. So can I come by tomorrow so that we can talk? And not just about this but about everything? I think it's good for us to talk everything through.

Loren: Okay, I think you're right.

The rest of the diner is okay. My mom and Max seem to get along again. Maybe they'll give their relationship another shot. I hope so. Amy and Max also get along. Everyone except Eddie leaves and I send Amy to bed. Eddie helps me clean up the kitchen and after that I'm exhausted. Then I walk him to the door. He gives me a kiss on the head.

Eddie (walking away): Bye. See you tomorrow.

Loren: Bye.

I lean against the side of the door until he drives away and feel butterflies in my stomach. It's like every good moment we have together erases a little bit of my anger towards him and it scares me.

It's 5 o'clock. Amy just went to Lily to get ready for the party. I told her to be careful, I know she will be. She isn't planning on having sex with somebody there because she would have told me. She would have told me right? Eddie's going to be here in an hour. I've been stressing myself out all day. I keep telling myself that this is a good thing but I have a hard time believing myself. He's making me so confused. It was so much easier to hate him when he wasn't around. Now I just don't know. Tyler has called me a few times today but I've ignored him. I don't know why.

AMY'S POV

Lily and I just parked our car at Austin's house. This party is going to be epic! Underneath my clothes I'm wearing a red two piece bikini. We walk inside and are shocked by how everything looks. People are dancing everywhere and the music is blasting through the speakers. Lily and I look at each other and squeal a little. Then we walk in.

LOREN'S POV

Eddie is going to be here in a few minutes. I've changed at least 10 times. I finally decided on white skinny jeans and a pink chiffon crop top with pink pumps. My make-up is light pink shadow-eye and my hair is wavy. I'm even wearing sexy underwear. Why? It's not like I'm going to have sex with him. I feel like a teenager again. Back then I used to want look good for Eddie. That never went away. I still want to look good for him. At the concert I wanted to look good for him too. I don't know why, I really don't know. Suddenly there's a knock at the door and I walk over to it to open it. When I open it Eddie's standing in front of it looking gorgeous like always. I take a step back so he can come inside.

Loren: Hi

Eddie: Hey, you look beautiful.

Loren: Really?

Eddie: Yes of course.

Loren: Ehm...maybe we should sit down?

Eddie: Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

We walk into the living room and sit down. But I soon jump up again.

Loren: Do you want something to drink?

Eddie: No thanks, I'm fine.

Loren: I'll go get you something to drink. Do you want cake? I have cake. If you don't want cake I always have cookies. Do you want cookies? I-

Eddie grabs my hand and pulls me down on the couch.

Eddie: I don't want anything to eat or drink. I just want to talk to you. Why are you so nervous?

Loren: I don't know. It just feels like this conversation will change everything.

Eddie: I hope it does.

Loren: ...

Eddie: Were you jealous at Linsey?

So, the moment of truth. Was Loren jealous at Linsey? Let me know what you guys think. So, I'll say it again. Only three chapters left of this story.
