Crazy little thing called love Chapter 14

Weeks later Vince's latest song was in first place in the billboards, he had written a song for the first time in English inspired by Loren, somehow Eddie Duran dropped to second place, first time any artist knocked Eddie out of first place. Loren was seen everywhere with Vince, everyone noticed the huge changes Vince was making, he was known as the Casanova of Hollywood, but now everyone was amazed how much Loren had changed his ways.

Loren sat in the audience while he appeared in talk shows. He always acknowledged his girl. Loren was looking more beautiful each time.

Katy and Max sat watching as Kelly and Michael interviewed Vince on TV.

"Kevin won't believe how happy Vince looks."

Max rolled his eyes. "Love tends to do that."

"Omg look at Loren sitting there, she's beautiful."

"She looks happy right?"

Katy turned towards Max. "Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering?"

"There might be a reason why you're asking?"

"I don't know, I thought she was good for Eddie, he needs someone like her in his life."

"Wow Honey, look at you."

"I must be getting old, I thought by now we would have a grandchildren running around the house, instead our son is so busy, he has no life, no wife and now no girl."

The door opened and Eddie walked in whistling. "What are you guys up too? Came from the hospital, Evan is still the same."

"I know I called this morning." Katy replied.

Eddie noticed the TV and recognized Vince. "It's him again?"

Katy walked to hug her son. "You know you're still our number 1?"

"Thanks mom, he just irks me!"

"I wonder why?" asked Katy as she walked away.

Max pulled a chair and signaled Eddie to sit. "What's up Pops?"

"You tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"Vince was your friend, and now?"

"Nah I could care less, he was Kevin's friend."

" What's up Eddie? Are you afraid he's going to knock you off the top five on the billboards?"

"No that will never happen, just because he wrote one English song doesn't mean he has it all."

Before Eddie could say another word, Max finally admitted. "He has Loren!"

Eddie sighed turning his attention towards his dad, his look was frigid, and he stood there quiet.

"Ok your silence says it all."

"What am I supposed to say pops?"

"The truth, tell me the truth?"

"What truth?"

"Loren told you how she felt."

"I guess it wasn't real, look at her now parading all over the place with Vince Vega."

"She's dating him Eddie, and it's Vince who takes her everywhere."

"You know she has to bring some dresses she designed for my dancers, I need them this week, I bet she will call to tell me she's running late with them!"

"Loren is very professional and you know it, I doubt she will let anything get in her way of having those ready for you."

Eddie sat leaning his head back on the chair. He ran his hands through his hair. Max tapped his arm to get his attention. "There's a crazy little thing we call love, could that be your problem?"

"I don't know pops, I feel confused, and then it just upsets me to see her with him."

Max pulled away laughing. "Son you're jealous!"

Katy walked in. she too had a smile on her face. "You're too funny sweetie."

"Ok I'm running a few errands and I'm going to see Jake, she had better delivered those dresses."

He walked out, Katy turned towards Max, she shook her head and he rolled his eyes. "Any excuse run into Loren."

"He's going to Jake's."

"Well if she doesn't deliver the dresses, I'm sure he'll find a way to let her know he's upset."

Katy smiled. "My poor baby."

"Baby? Why?"

"Never mind." She walked away.

Meanwhile

Loren and Vince were leaving the talk show they had attended. He held her hand softly and brought it up to his lips and kissed it softly.

"Vince you did an amazing job on your performance."

"It's all you babe, you keep me so inspired, I have lyric's running all over my head."

"Vince you're too sweet."

He leaned in and pulled Loren towards him and kissed her softly on the lips. As soon as he pulled away she down cast her look.

"Don't tell me my girl is blushing?"

She looked at him in the eyes. "Vince you're so sweet, when I'm with you I feel very special."

"You are special, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

She couldn't stop smiling, she cared for Vince, and you could say she loved him but she wasn't in love with him, he treated her so well, she picked up her bag.

"I have to stop at Jake's; I have to make sure their merchandise was delivered."

"I'll come with you."

They walked to Vince's car and drove to Jake's office. Vince parked. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"If you want too."

He smiled exiting the car and walked over to open the door for Loren, he held her hand as they took the elevator to Jake's office.

Loren walked in to find Kelly on the phone. She waved as she saw them both come into the room. She was off the phone.

"Loren I'm so glad you came, you must see the dresses, and the girls loved them."

Loren smiled and cringed. "Are you sure? They kept calling my office to make sure the buttons matched with the top part of the dress, I thought for sure they would have more complains."

"Well come and see."

Vince's phone rang, he picked it up as Kelly and Loren walked away. As soon as he was done, Eddie walked in.

"Hey what are you doing here? Looking for new management?"

Vince smiled. "No I'm here with Loren."

"Of course you are."

"She's here to check on the dresses, she's in the back with Kelly."

At that moment Loren walked back into the room with Kelly trailing behind her. She had no seen Eddie since the day she slapped him.

She smiled and too avoid any further problems, she acknowledged him. "Hi Eddie."

He nodded. "So Kelly, everything ok with the dresses?"

Vince turned his attention to Loren. "Babe I have to get to my managers', I'll come back to get you."

"That's fine Vince, I can take a cab, I just called Luann, she forgot to deliver the snapbacks that go with the dresses, she's sending them over and I want to make sure they're ok."

"No you wait for me." He leaned and kissed her softly on the lips.

He left, she didn't want to turn around, somehow she knew Eddie was just watching her every move. "Kelly I'll wait in the back."

"Don't be silly, stay here and wait, let me go and give Jake these papers." She turned to Eddie. "Are you going to be here?"

"No I wanted to make sure everything was delivered as promised."

Loren furrowed her eyebrows. "I haven't disappointed you yet!"

He finally looked at her. "That's why I came to make sure you're 10 for 10."

Loren rolled her eyes. Eddie turned towards Kelly. "Tell Jake I'll call him later, I have a date."

"Sure Eddie."

For a moment Loren thought he was going to bring up their previous encounter. She sat quietly fidgeting with her fingers.

"I'm very busy, I'm having dinner with Sally, you do remember her right?"

Loren knew who she was; she was the nurse taking care of Evan. "Yes of course."

"I think we might go dancing after dinner."

"Sounds like a fun."

"I have been on several dates with her already."

Loren smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Good for you Eddie, It must be love all over again for you."

He chuckled. "I don't know yet, I like to take my time."

"I'm happy for you, once that love bug bites be careful, it makes you crazy."

"Ahhh you mean crazy in Love?"

She pretended not to hear him and she walked towards Kelly's desk and sat down, Eddie looked through his phone. "I better get going; I hate to have Sally waiting."

"Oh of course, please go, don't let me hold you back."

Kelly walked in.

"Loren Luann just dropped the snapbacks, what do you think?"

"You should ask Eddie before he leaves for his hot date."

Kelly inched closer to Loren. "I'm sure if you approve them it will be ok with Eddie."

She turned to where Eddie stood, something about his phone kept him standing there. Kelly took the snapbacks out of the box, she handed it to Loren.

"I think they're perfect Loren."

"Then that's it, I approve, Vince just texted me, he's on his way."

Kelly was tired of watching Eddie just stand there. "Eddie you can leave now."

"It's my mom, she's had to rush to the hospital."

"I hope Evan is ok." Replied Kelly.

Loren cringed, she knew he was slightly improving but what now?

"Eddie did she tell you what happened?"

"No she said to get there now!"

"You're in no condition to drive Eddie, let me take you, I'll let Jake know."

Loren stopped her before she left the room.

"It's ok Kelly, I'll text Vince to meet me there, I'll drive you Eddie."

Eddie didn't say anything else, Loren grabbed her bag and they both left. The ride to the hospital was quiet, Eddie kept his focus on his phone, it's like he was waiting for it to ring any minute. Loren bit her lower lip; she didn't know what to say.

"We're almost there Eddie."

He nodded, Loren knew how he felt about Evan, what could have happened? She didn't want to even think about it being bad news.

She pulled into the parking lot area of the hospital. And parked closer to one of the entrances Eddie was allowed to come into.

Loren trailed behind him, she was afraid to see what awaited Eddie once he reached the floor where Evan was at.

Kevin was on his way up too. "I thought you were here with Evan?"

"Katy decided to stay with him, I had several errands." He turned and smiled as he saw Loren. "Loren thanks for coming."

Eddie spoke up. "She drove me here."

Loren noticed the tone in Eddie's voice, she was quiet. This wasn't the moment to say anything, Kevin waited for Loren to catch up.

"Who called Eddie?"

"Katy called, she wouldn't say what happened."

"Omg Kevin, I'm scared."

"Why?"

"I have this terrible feeling something isn't right, I fear for Eddie."

They finally reached the floor where Evan was. Loren's eyes widen when she saw Lucy standing there.

"Lucy? What are you doing here?"

Eddie walked pass them and entered the room. Lucy smiled. "Nothing, I thought I would come and see Evan, Katy wouldn't let me, the moment she saw it wasn't you she asked me to leave."

"So why are you still here?"

"I went in, I live in a free country, I wanted to check up on Evan."

Loren cringed at the thought, her gut never lied to her and right now it was screaming at her.

She slowly walked into the room, Katy was hugging Eddie. She stood there not knowing what to do or say.

The Dr. walked in. "I'm sorry Eddie, we've done all we can, he's in ICU, there is no activity in his brain cells."

Eddie was trying to breathe as he looked at the Dr. in horror. "What happened? He was doing so well yesterday!" Kevin held his nephew. "Calm down Eddie!"

"How can I calm down? "

He looked at Katy. "Mom what happened?"

Katy looked at Loren and then her eyes went towards the hall where Lucy stood looking through her phone.

"Lucy came in to see him; I left the room for a moment after I told her she wasn't allowed in the room, when I returned she was sitting by the side of his bed. Within minutes Evan had several seizures and.."

"And what?" Kevin could see Loren downcast her look expecting the worst.
