Chapter 2 – Things I've never thought I'd be doing

Duran's house in the Valley

Eddie has been woken up by the annoying sound of his alarm clock. After a wrathful groan left his mouth, he made the clock stop by hitting the top of it. He knows it is an important day, because today he is going to the audition for the job, but right now all he wants to do is sleeping. He had an amazing dream and he didn't want it to stop. The only thing of the dream he remembers is a drop gorgeous, sexy girl making out with him. As the picture appeared before his eyes, he felt 'his friend' popping up between his legs. Yes, now he should definitely wake up… and start off the day with a cold shower.

As he was done with the shower he picked up a V-neck blue T-shirt and black jeans along with black sneakers to wear. He looked in the mirror one more time just to make sure everything on him looks perfect. Stepping out of his room into the hallway the delicious scent of his mother's home-made waffels hit his nose. He quickly run downstairs to the kitchen only to find his parents laughing and making breakfast together.

Eddie: Morning guys!

K&M: Good morning Eddie!

Eddie: What kind of delicious food are you making? It smells amazing.

He said walking between them then gave his mother a kiss on her cheek.

Katy: We made all your favorite. We know it is an important day for you and we just want you to take off with a good mood.

Eddie: I will!

Katy and Max finished up the rest of the food while Eddie set the table. They seated themselves around it and started eating. During the meal they talked about random stuffs and everytime the topic of the new job Eddie avoid his parents' questions by telling them he wants it to be a suprise. He doesn't want them to know that he has no information about what the work will be.

Katy: Eddie, at least just tell us what you will have to do!

Eddie: No ma. Like I said I want it to be a suprise.

She put a sad look on her face, trying to drag something out of him, but Eddie won't let it happen.

Eddie: Mom I promise you I will tell you everything afterwards OK?

She simply nodded accepting that she can't get anything out of Eddie.

After getting through with the breakfast Eddie grabbed the rest of his things and drove off to the detonation of the job interview. When he arrived he was amazed by the building in front of him. The house looks beautiful and it's huge. It is not far away from the beach and it has a big pool in the backyard. After checking the hous Eddie walked to the front door and knocked. Within a few minutes he heard some noise inside and a middle-aged man opened. After introducing himself he told him to follow and led him into a big room, that Eddie believed was the living room. He saw two brunette sitting on the couch, but he didn't see their faces cause they were sitting with their back to him. The man cleared his throat in attempt of making their presence known. The two ladies standing up turned around to them.

Eddie's POV

We walked into the living room and the two brunettes stood up and turned around. When I got the sight of the younger one I gasped for breath and my jaw dropped. I felt my heartbeating speed up and I swear I look ridiculous right now, but after all it is LOREN TATE standing in front of me. After few minutes of staring I finally managed to take my eyes off of her and waited for someone to speak up.

Nora: Hello! My name is Nora Tate. I'm Loren's manager and mother at the same time. – She said extending her hand.

I grabbed it and after shaking hands I introduced myself as well.

Eddie: Nice to meet you Miss Tate! My name is Eddie Duran.

Nora: Ohh you can call me Nora. I'm not that old.

Eddie: OK. – I said laughing.

Loren: Hey Eddie! My name is Loren Tate! – She said maybe a little too happy.

She put her hand out smiling crazy. I took a hold on it and we gently shaked each other's hands. On my God her skin is really smooth.

Eddie: I know. Haha. It is a pleasure to meet you Loren! I love your music.

I shot my best smile at her and she did something I would've never expected. Her eyes traveled down to my arms and she was looking at my muscles while biting her bottom lip.

Loren: I'm glad to hear that!

Awkward silence.

Nora: So I assume you've brought resume.

Eddie: Yeah. Here. – I said handing over my portfolio.

Trent and Nora started to look through it and me not knowing what to do just simply looked around the room for a few times, until I felt that somebody's looking at my direction. My gaze traveled around only to find Loren staring at me with crossed legs. She had this weird look on her face and I felt like she was undressing me with her eyes. It was a little bit uncomfortable and I swear I could feel a blush spreading on my cheeks. Just to my like her parents finished reading and called after me.

Nora: I'm impressed. Your high school results are amazing and as I've read you have just gratuated from UCLA haven't you?

Eddie: Yes I have, and thank you! This means a lot to me.

Trent: So I think it is time to tell you what the job is really about.

I nodded letting them know they can continue.

Nora: You obviously know how popular Loren is. Well the more famous she gets the crazier her fans become.

Trent: There has been some kind of attacks by fans lately and we don't want Loren to get hurt.

Nora: This is where you came in. We need someone who protects her while we're not around. Just to say it out loud we're looking for a bodyguard for her and we think you would be perfect.

A bodyguard? Seriously, me as a bodyguard? I don't if I should do this. A part of me is telling to say no, because that is not really the job of my dreams. But there's the other part, that is telling me to say yes because I get a lot of money and damn it I can be around Loren Tate for hours. Now all I need to decide which one should I let win.

Eddie: I'm in!

Nora: Great!

Eddie: So when can I start?

Nora: Tomorrow. Is this OK with you?

Eddie: Yes it is. Well then see you tomorrow!

I stood up and started heading to the door, wanting to leave.

Trent: Eddie!

Eddie: Yeah?

Nora: One more thing.

Eddie: What is it?

Nora: Like we said we can't be around Loren 24/7 and we don't wanna take any risks.

Trent: Tomorrow we're leaving the country. We're heading to Europe to attend some business.

Nora: We want Loren to be safe while we're abroad and we were wondering if you would move in here?

Eddie: What?! I am sorry I heard you asking me to move in here. What were you saying?

Nora: You heard me.

Eddie: So you want me to move in here?

Nora: Yes, we do. Do you have a problem with that?

Eddie: I just don't think Loren would want some strange guy to bother her in her own home.

Loren: I've got no problem with it.

She said simply with a naughty smile on her face. Ohh this girl drives me crazy.

Nora: Loren is OK with you moving in here. What do you say now?

Eddie: OK. I will move in here… Just one question.

Nora: Shoot.

Eddie: How long will you be away?

Nora: Two months.

Eddie: What?!
