Chapter 6 – THE FINAL ROSE PART II

===FOREVER MY GIRL===

EDDIE'S POV:

"What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me

Everything you do is beautiful

Love you give shines right through me

Everything you do is beautiful

Oh, you're beautiful to me "

When I was finished with my song, I pulled my girl up from the chair and held her close in my arms again while holding a single red rose between us and whispered softly,

"Loren Tate will you accept my final Rose?"

She looked directly into my eyes as tears began to fill up, slowly falling down her angelic face. There was a look of hope mixed with pain reflecting in those beautiful brown eyes of hers. And suddenly, all these thoughts of panic and doubt become of me. I was so confident of her yes, but I did not expect the possibility of saying no. OH NO! What is going on in that pretty head of hers? I have to know. NO. I need to know. So I took a deep breath, feeling my heart race like crazy, palms beyond sweaty. Is a nervous breakdown coming my way? OH GOD! I am literally freaking here! So I broke the uncomfortable silence between us.

"Lo? Babe? Are you OK?" I asked with curiosity and concern in my voice.

"Please tell me what's going on?"

Loren: "Eddie. Please don't hate me..." as she looked down at the ground, about to break down in tears. Believe me so was I.

"I …I don't …I don't know if I can...I mean I. I'm just…" she stuttered with hesitation.

Me: (worried, like my heart is about to break), "you don't know about what?"

Loren: (taking a deep breath, looking up at me, avoiding eye contact), "I don't know. I mean, if I can...Accept... I mean, I want to with all my heart and soul you know? And all day today, I was excited and looking forward to this moment, but now that it is happening I'm… I am afraid.."

Me: "tell me how you feel Loren, what are you afraid about?"

I took another deep breath with the rose in one hand, leading us to the bench under a tree and we sat down, as she leaned in the crook of my shoulder and started to speak. Meanwhile, I am holding back my tears because it is her decision if she says no. God I hope that is not the case!

Loren: "I'm afraid that I am falling for you Eddie and knowing that means I am vulnerable to my feelings for you, it is a huge risk for me but at the same time, I want to take this leap of faith with you. It is just that, every time I think I'm ready, I freak out in panic because my crazy insecurities get in the way"

awwww..Is that what my baby girl is afraid of? She has absolutely nothing to worry about. I got this.

Me: "Shhhhh….hey…look at me (I said as I turned myself towards her while cupping her face in between my hands), "I am head over heels crazy in love with you and every time we're together, I fall deeper and deeper into you. I know we've only known each other for a short time, but Loren, this is just the beginning of our love story."

Because all see is Loren in my future with. Someday she'll be my wife and the mother of our children and we'll have great grandchildren together too.

Loren: "I know Eddie and I feel the same way about you believe me I do. But I can't help that my greatest fear is going through the pain of a broken heart again. This emotional damage my Father has left on me, considering that my ex-boyfriend history isn't exactly…well. You know. It always leaves me abandoned and alone."

Me: "Loren, I know how you feel about starting over again. It was one of the main reasons I agreed to do this 'dating contest'; to meet someone in the hopes of finding true love. I know we've had this talk before and that we've had our share of broken hearts along the way and I am glad you were honest with me about that jerk of an ex-boyfriend of yours. But the last woman standing in front of me is the one I've been waiting for all of my life".

you, Miss Tate, are the woman of my dreams who walked into my life.

Loren: (still a little hesitant), "but how do you that I am the one for you and what if you…what if you decide to change your mind and lea—"

Me: "There is no way that I am going to leave you, not now or ever. I'm not going anywhere without you in my life. Out of 25 girls, you're the one that captured my heart and my soul. You know how I know?"

Loren looked up facing me with curiosity and love in her eyes. Nodding her head with a smile.

Oh man I love that smile. so Beautiful.

Me: "because there were times throughout this entire 'dating experience' that you remind me I am a regular guy. A guy who loves watching sports in a bar with a beer in hand, hitting on the cute bartender or playing ball with the guys. And it's funny because sometimes I forget that I am Rock star whenever I am with you and I love knowing that the simple life is being with you."

Loren: "what about us in the public eye. I mean, I just feel like the media and all these Hollywood big wigs were disappointed that you chose me over Chloe. She even said that she was expected to be chosen."

Me: "I don't give a hoot about Hollywood and their bull crap gossip because that is exactly what it is, bull to the crap. I am not the kind of person who would choice to give in the pressure of who they want me to pick just to satisfy the rumors and all the crappy gossip shows. My decision is completely made from the bottom of my heart. I chose you for a reason Loren; you were my missing song along and now its complete"

And now she was smiling with through her beautiful teary eyed brown eyes.

Me: "and Miss Tate?"

As we were both standing up from the bench, with the rose in between us.

Loren: "yes?"

Me; "Did you not listen to my song at all?" as I began singing to her again, "What makes you different, makes you beautiful
What's there inside you, shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need
You're all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me"

And once I was finished singing the verse, I whispered softly,

"Please be my girl and accept my final rose"

This time she looked into my eyes and our gaze locked for a few hot moments as our lips leaned into a sweet kiss turned fiery passionate French kissing make out session. There was so much want mixed in with fire and desire; a scorching hidden yearning for each other unleashed in this kiss.

After a few minutes of tongue wrestling and caressing up and down along her neckline and all the way down between her breasts. I know she's enjoying every moment of this as I am because of the soft little moans escaping from her mouth. God! my Girlfriend is hot and sexy and mmmm…I wonder if she is like this in bed?

We pulled away breathlessly with smiling and whispering softly.

Loren: "Yes I'll be your girl and yes. I'll accept your rose."

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHH! As I jumped in the air. MY BABE SAID YES! MY BABE SAID YES! This is the happiest night of my life. I am so happy I just want to…

She took my rose and I slipped her with a surprise promise ring (and not just any kind of ring, but one that can pass as an engagement ring, in scripted LEDDE 637)

And then lifted her up in my arms as she wrapped her legs around my torso; arms around my neck. I could not help but to have this dopey smile on my face. Loren Tate and I are official together.

Loren: "promise me you'll never leave me?"

*in between kisses*

Me: "I promise you baby, I'll never leave you never ever. You are forever my girl."

On timing, our lips crashed into another making out session in that position for another few minutes until I let her down, walking hand in hand to the limo.


LOREN'S POV:

So my boyfriend Eddie and I…hold up wait a minute? Is this moment in time for real? Eddie Duran is my boyfriend?! OMG! EDDIE IS MY BOYFRIEND! I cannot believe it. This is surreal. I am all kinds of overwhelmed. I am stunned and speechless and EEEEEEEE! EDDIE IS MY BOYFRIEND! AND I AM SO HAPPY FOR OUR LOVE ADVENTURES AHEAD! Not to mention this humungous smile on my face.

As I was saying, Eddie and I were walking up the driveway, hand in hand, being all mushy cutesy couple. I swear on our limo ride on the way to the MK mansion, we would talk about the random as always in between our heated make out sessions. OMG! Eddie is one hell of a amazing kisser, I just want to hit the bed,pounce on him and rock n roll all night with him. Ooooooh yeah. is it a crime to think these thoughts about my …OMG! MY MAN?! But I have to keep myself in control and continue this game of hard-to-get you know what or something close to it. Then again, I don't want rush or expect anything that might happen or not. The sexual tension between us in the last forty five minutes feels like volcano waiting to explode.

So anyhow, Eddie and I entered the kitchen greeted by Max and Katy who had this indescribable happy smile on their faces.

Eddie: "Ma, Pops, I want to introduce you my gorgeous and very beautiful girlfriend, Loren." He took me by the hand, kissing the top of it, then kissed me on my cheek.

Daymmm! My boyfriend is amazing and such a sweetheart. Did I mention that to you?

And naturally, I smiled, waved and gave them both a hug. "Hi Max and Katy is great to see you again."

Max: "And its awesome to see you again, Loren. It seems that I have taught my son well when it comes to choosing the best kind of women. I should know."

Me: "And I can see where Eddie gets his sweet loving charm from"

Max: "didn't I say he learned from the best"

We all laughed.

Katy: (happy and proud), "oh Loren, I knew it was going to be you! I felt that in my heart that you and Eddie were going to be together."

Me: (blushing), "Thanks Katy. That means so much hearing it from you"

Katy: "And you are welcome to our house, anytime, if you want to talk or hang out. Just come and I promise there is always food ready for you too."

Me: (smiling), "Again, thank you Katy. Does that also include complaints about your son here"

Katy: "like I said, anytime this also includes an afternoon session of baby stories, embarrassing photos albums to share with you. Just ask and boom! Your wish is my command!"

Eddie: (pouting with sarcasm), "Thanks Ma"

Katy: (with sass), "anytime sweetie"

And then Eddie nodding at me with this goofball smirk on his mom just embarrassed him in front of me. It was CLASIC. Hahahaha!Duran!

So I turned to him and kissed him on the cheek. "And what are you thinking about Duran?"

Eddie's thoughts: how much I want to go back to my place, throw you on the bed and do you all night! My girlfriend drives me crazy.

And then he wraps his arms around me and kisses me all over my neck, good freakin lord, it feels good.

Eddie: "you have no idea babe. " he replied with a perverted smirk on his face adding a wink and a smile whispering sweetly in my ear. "just happy you're my girl."

I smirked right back at him raising a brow with a flirty smirk and gave him a quick but hot kiss on the lips.

Just as I was about to say something. Katy started to talk about dinner.

Katy: "Alright my favorite couple of the year, let's eat shall we?"

Me: "oh yum. I can't wait to get my grub on and what are we having for dinner Katy?"

Katy: "your favorite. Lasagna."

Me:" I wlll not say the word but I am excited to eat.. "

=====TWO HOURS LATER ====

After the most amazing home cooked oven baked beef Lasagna, it was followed by Mocha Chocolate Chip ice cream for dessert reminding me of a unfinished conversation with a certain handsome person. I could not help it, but I just have to ask.

Me: "what a coincidence to have Mocha Chocolate chip ice cream for dessert"

It was Eddie's idea to share a huge bowl with two spoons while feeding each other and of course, the mini-make out sessions in between.

Eddie: "and now you know what my favorite flavor always remains the last one standing." He said this as he scooped a spoonful of ice cream about to eat it then looked at me with a evil smirk, by smearing it in my face.

Me: "OH MY GOSH EDDIE! YOU FREAKIN PUNK!"

I screamed at the ice coldness on my face, it was dripping on my chin and onto my chest, while Eddie just sat there, laughing his a$$ off. Well. Two can play at this game. I took the chocolate syrup aiming directly at his face.

Eddie of course, was startled at the same time, his eyes read: WARNING! PLEASE DON'T RUIN MY BEAUTIFUL ROCK STAR FACE!

Eddie: "DON'T YOU DARE BABE!" as I saw him grab the whip cream, hiding it behind his back. "I GOT A FRESH CAN OF WHIP CREAM"

Me: "I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU! "

Eddie: "YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT TATE!

Me: "BRING IT ON DURAN!"

And then while catching him off guard READY! AIM! FIRE! I squeezed the bottle of chocolate syrup right smack on his face and running out of the kitchen into the patio, laughing my a$$ like crazy hiding behind the nearest tree.

A few seconds later, Eddie came out with like a chocolate faced monster and was not pleased of what I did, I swear I could not help but laugh as I fell down on the ground,clutching my stomach until it hurts, then out of nowhere, I was face to face with the chocolate monster aiming the can of whip cream in my face.

Eddie: "THIS MEANS WAR!"

At first I thought he was going to fire at me but instead he tickled the life out of me.

Me: (bursting out in multiple squeals of giggles), "EEEEEDDDDDIIIEEEE! STTOOOOOPPPP*in between screaming giggles*! PLEEEEEEEEEEASSSE! STOOOOOP IIIIIITTTT!" I screamed and shouted helplessly, trying to fight him off.

And then he finally stopped, his gorgeous Spanish brown eyes staring directly in mine. There was this indescribable yearning hidden scorching between us and the next thing you know our lips lingered into an intensifying make out session on the grass.

Eddie: "daymmmm.. baby you are so hot right now"

*breathing in between kisses*

Me: "back at you babe"

Our passionate make out session continued in a rolling motion, there was a lot of touching and licking the ice cream and chocolate syrup off our faces and Eddie on my chest area. We were so lost in each other that we were not paying attention to where we were going then suddenly…

======S*P*L*A*S*H*!=======

HAHAHA! We rolled into the pool, soaking in our now wet clothing, walking towards the shallow side of the pool. And just when I was about to get out of the pool, Eddie pulls me back into his arms, slowly stripping me out of my dress and throwing it on the cement somewhere. It did not take that long to find ourselves passionately making out in our underwear in a swimming pool in middle of the night. Within 20 minutes time, we were in his bedroom, rockin and rollin between the sheets.


======SIX MONTHS LATER…=========…

EDDIE'S POV:

So this first weekend of October is my 6th month anniversary with my lovely Loren. I had arrange plans to fly over to Providence, Rhode Island for a surprise visit so we can celebrate together. You have no idea how much I miss my girlfriend. Yes. We have been keeping in touch twenty-four-seven. If it is not, by Skype in the evening, we text, email, twitter, Facebook and face time via my iPad during the day. But the past two months has been crazy torcher for me. I honestly just miss everything about her, especially holding her close in my arms and waking up next to her. Anyways, thanks to the girls, Adriana and Melissa, they have given the information I needed to get to her apartment complex before she gets back from her class. Right now it's a little after three in the afternoon and I'm in my limo, on the way to her apartment, punched in all security codes and then knocked on the door.

The door opened to a very familiar face. "CHLOE?"
