Hey Everyone! Hope ya'll are well!
Previously: Loren and Eddie left to get food for their picnic. Mel and Ian stayed at the beach to wait for them. Ian and Mel make a date to hangout the following day. Ian leans in and kisses Mel.
Now to the story:
Ian pulled Mel in for another kiss. He pulled away just as Eddie and Loren pulled back up to the beach. Loren and Eddie grabbed the food and went down to join Mel and Ian.
Loren: Hey you two! *She notices the grin on Mel's face*
Mel: Hey Lo. What did you get to eat?
Loren: We got some sandwiches, chips, cookies and water.
Mel: Yum!
Loren: Mel, help me get the cooler out of the car.
Eddie: Hey Ian. *See's the expression on his face* what happened while we were gone?
Ian: *Grins* Nothing
Eddie: Yeah right. You look like a little kid on Christmas. What happened? Did you finally tell Mel how you feel?
Ian: *Chuckles* Nope but we have a date tomorrow and I kissed her.
Eddie: That's awesome man! I'm happy for you! But if you hurt Mel I will have to kill you!
Ian: if I hurt her, I give you permission to kill me!
Eddie:*Chuckles*
Loren and Mel are walking back to the car.
Loren: So Mel what happened while we were gone?
Mel: *Casually* Oh nothing
Loren: Yeah like I am going to believe that
Mel: Fine. Ian and I have a date tomorrow.
Loren: Is that all?
Mel: No, he kissed me, twice.
Loren: What? Mel, that is awesome. So that means he likes you.
Mel: I hope so.
Loren: I am so happy for you! You and Ian are great together!
Mel: I know!
Loren and Mel grab the cooler and head back to the guys on the beach.
Ian: Let's eat!
Loren and Eddie pass out the sandwiches. Everyone digs into the food.
Loren: I'm full!
Eddie: You barely ate anything!
Loren: It is too hot to eat!
Eddie: You always eat a lot, and I mean that in a good way. I like a girl that can eat.
Loren: *Laughs* Thank you?
Eddie: *chuckles* You're Welcome
Loren: So what do you guys want to do now?
Mel: hmm how about we dry off and get cleaned up? I have sand in places it shouldn't be.
Loren: * Laughing* I agree
Eddie: How about we all go and get cleaned up then we can go to MK and hangout?
Ian: Sounds good to me.
Loren: Me too!
Mel: Let's go.
They all pick up their things and pile back into the car. They go to Eddie's penthouse.
Loren: How about Mel and I go to my house and get ready while you two get ready here?
Eddie: Okay. I'll pick you guys up on our way to MK.
Loren: What time?
Eddie: What time is it now?
Loren: 5
Eddie: I will pick you up at 8?
Loren: Okay, bye I love you!
Eddie: I love you too.
Mel: *Hugs Ian* See you later. *Looks at Eddie* Later rock star!
Eddie: Bye Mel!
Loren: Come on let's go!
Loren and Mel leave to get ready at Loren's. Once they get there they both shower.
Loren: Mel I have nothing to wear!
Mel: What time is it?
Loren: 6. Why?
Mel: Let's go to the mall really fast and find cute outfits for tonight!
Loren: Alright but we have to hurry!
Mel: then let's go
Loren and Mel leave to go to the mall. They both find a cute outfit and return home to get ready. By the time they get home it is 6:30. Loren changes her clothes and Mel curls her hair. Mel changes her clothes and fixes her own hair. Loren puts on her shoes and make-up.
Loren: Mel! It is 7:50!
Mel: I'm trying!
Loren is wearing a high wasted pink lace skirt with a cream colored floral tank with brown wedges. Mel is wearing a bright pink strapless sun dress with tan heels. She puts on a blue necklace to give it the "Mel touch." Mel walks out to meet Loren.
Loren: You look pretty!
Mel: You look hot!
Loren: *chuckles* I love you Mel!
Mel: And I love you Miss Tate!
Loren: I am going to call the boys and tell them that we will just meet them there
Mel: Okay
*Loren dials Eddie's number*
Eddie: Hello Beautiful

Eddie: That's fine. Ian and I are running late anyways.

Max: Coming up!
Loren and Mel take a seat at a booth and wait on Eddie and Ian.
Max: Where are you kids going tonight?
Loren: I think we were just hanging out here. I have no idea what else we are doing.
Max: Oh I see.
Just then Ian and Eddie walk into the club and walk over to the girls.
Eddie: Hey Pop!
Max: hey son! What are you guys planning to do tonight?
Eddie: Well Ian and I have a surprise for the girls
Loren: You do?
Eddie: yes, we do!

Eddie escorts Loren to the car and Ian escorts Mel.
Ian: *Looks at Mel* you look beautiful
Mel: *Confidently* Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself.
Ian: Why thank you love.
Eddie: *Kisses Loren's cheek* did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?
Loren: No, but thank you.
Eddie: Well you look absolutely beautiful
Loren: *Blushes and kisses him* Where are we going?
Eddie: You will have to wait and find out.
Loren: Fine.
Eddie: *Kisses her*
They arrive at their surprise
Loren: Where are we?
Eddie: *Takes her hand* Follow me.
They walk for a few minutes before they reach their destination. Eddie and Ian ha set up blankets with lanterns around them.
Loren: What is this?
Eddie: We thought it would be nice if we could just sit under the stars tonight instead of being one.
Mel: Awe. It is so romantic!
Loren: I love it!
Eddie: I thought you would.
Loren and Eddie walk over to their blanket and sit down. Loren sits in-between Eddie's legs and rests against his body. Mel and Ian go over to their blanket. Mel and Ian sit side by side. Ian immediately grabs Mel's hand and rests it in his.
Mel: Thank you for doing this. It is beautiful.
Ian: I would do anything for you Mel. *kisses her cheek*
Back to Loren and Eddie
Loren begins to shiver.
Eddie: Are you cold?
Loren: A little. I didn't know we would be outside.
Eddie: *Takes off his jacket and wraps it around Loren*Lucky for you I did.
Loren: *leans back and kisses him* Thank you.
Eddie: *Kisses Loren* anything for my girl.
Loren: I love you
Eddie: I love you too. More than you will ever know.
Loren: *smiles and kisses him*
Eddie: You make everything seem better when I am with you. You make me forget that I am "Eddie Duran the rock star."
Loren: Is that a good or bad thing?
Eddie: *Kisses her* Good, very good.
Loren: then it is my pleasure. *Laughs*
Eddie pulls Loren close and kisses her. Loren pulls away after a few minutes.
Loren: Eddie will you play me a song?
Eddie: I don't have a guitar.
Loren: *Imitating Eddie* Lucky for you I do.
Eddie: *Laughs* Okay
Loren gets up and runs to get her guitar. She comes back a few minutes later.
Eddie takes the guitar from her and begins to play a song.
We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about
And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Morning comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her
'Cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
-Eddie finished singing and Loren pulled him into a passionate kiss.
Mel and Ian were sitting looking at the stars. They talked about their lives and got to know each other.
Ian: Mel?
Mel: Yeah? *Looks at Ian*
Ian: I have to tell you something
Mel: okay
Ian: Mel, I really like you. You are the only girl I have ever met who keeps me on my toes. You are different and witty. You say what is on your mind and I admire that. You are also the kindest person I have ever met, next to Loren. You are just an amazing person and I think I am falling for you.
Ian held his breath and waited for Mel to answer back. He was surprised when she pulled him to her and kissed him. After a few minutes Mel pulled back for air.
Ian: Wow. If I knew that is how you would respond I would have told you a long time ago.
Mel: *Laughs* I really like you too. I just wasn't sure you liked me back.
Ian: I would be crazy to not like you. You are amazing.
This time Ian pulls Mel in and kisses her. They remain that way for a while until they both need air. They break apart and look back at the stars. After about an hour Loren notices the time.
Loren: Eddie?
Eddie: Yeah babe?
Loren: As much as I don't want to we have to go soon. Mel and I have school in the morning.
Eddie: Can't you skip?
Loren: I wish. We have to turn in our books and what not.
Eddie: Okay. *Yells* Ian! Mel! We have to leave!
Mel and Ian get up and walk over to where Eddie and Loren are.
Ian: Why do we have to leave?
Eddie: The girls have school in the morning and it is getting pretty late.
Ian: Why don't we just stay here and take them home in the morning?
Loren: Because it is getting cold and none of us brought anything to keep warm with
Ian: Good point. Let's go
They gathered their things and filed into the car. They went back to Eddie's house to drop off their things.
Eddie: I will pick you up tomorrow after school okay?
Loren: Okay
Eddie: I love you
Loren: I love you too
Eddie: *Kisses her* Be careful driving home.
Ian: *Turns to Mel* I will pick you up tomorrow around noon okay?
Mel: okay *smiles*
Ian: *Leans in and kisses her*
Loren: AWE!
Mel and Ian break apart.
Mel:*Laughing* Bye Ian
Ian: *Blushes* Bye
Mel and Loren walk out and head back to Loren's house
Mel: Is it okay if I stay with you?
Loren: Of course it is. I figured you would anyway
Mel: I had so much fun tonight.
Loren: Me too!
Mel: We are pretty luck aren't we?
Loren: Yes, yes we are.
Loren and Mel arrive at Loren's house. Nora is already asleep. The girls change into their pajamas and go to bed.
