Chapter 3 – Teasing

Eddie's POV

The moment I heard the time they will be away for I swear I felt my heart skipping a beat. Not only am I going to be Loren Tate's new bodyguard, but I'm also gonna spend the next two months with her in this huge mansion, alone. I don't know if I should be flattered or not. It all does sound amazing, but knowing that the hottest pop star lives under the same roof as you and the fact that you can't go anywhere near her make things worse than they look like.

Loren's POV

The guy is just standing in front of us with shocked look on his face. Ohh this is hilarious. I know I wasn't the biggest fan of whole bodyguard thing and I've never thought this could turn out to be this good, but now I'm really excited about it. I hope he takes the job, because he does I'm going to make sure that these next the months are gonna be one hell of a fun time.

Trent: So Eddie what do you say?

Eddie: I'm in.

Oh boy, you don't know what you have just signed up for.

Trent: Well then we'll see you tomorrow and we'll talk about the details of you moving in.

Eddie: All right. Have a good afternoon!

He gathered all his belongings and with my dad escorting him out he left.

After Eddie left Loren's place he went home directly to update his parents about this new job. As he expected they weren't so thrilled about it, but after some convincing and telling them that he's not a kid anymore, they eventually bowed to it.

The next day Nora and Trent had Eddie's stuff brought over to Tate mansion and showed him his new room which was directly opposite of Loren's. When Eddie walked into his future room he was amazed. It was huge with a big bathroom and a king sized bed. There was also a big couch with a big screen TV and a walk-in closet as well. It has a high ceiling with a big terrace along and all the windows are from floor to roof.

After Eddie took everything all in he decided to call Ian over and just unfold him every great things that have happened to him since they last saw each other.

When Ian arrived to location that Eddie gave him he was surprised. Eddie told him that he's not living with his parents anymore, but never would he think that he's moved to a place like that. Parking his car he walked up to the front door and pressed the knob of the doorbell. As he was waiting he spun around a few times just to take a proper look at everything. While he was looking around, the door has been opened and someone cleared their throat. This made him turn around and his eyes got widened when he saw the person standing on the doorway.

Ian: You're… you are… Loren Tate!

Loren: Yes, I am. And you?

Ian: My name is Ian. I am Eddie's best friend. Wait is he living here?!

Loren: Yes, he is. He's upstairs in his room.

Ian: In his room?! I don't understand…

Loren: It was a condition of the job.

Ian: What job?

Loren: Look Ian no matter how much I'd like to continue this, I have no time to chat so just follow me and I'm sure Eddie will enlighten you about everything.

After taking him upstairs to Eddie's bedroom Loren walked back to her own room leaving Ian alone on the hallway. He knocked on Eddie's door and then enter the room. He found Eddie lying on his bed playing with his guitar.

Eddie: Hey Ian. – He said standing up from the bed and pulled Ian into a bro hug.

Ian: Mate you told me that you moved away from the Valley, but at least you could've mentioned that you are living with Loren Tate now.

Eddie: Sorry. I wanted it to be a surprise and by the look on your face it worked. – He said chuckling.

Ian: Well what do you expect me to do after finding out that my best mate moved in with Loren Tate.

Eddie: It is not as amazing as it sounds like.

Ian: Man how could you say that? You're living with freaking Loren Tate!

Eddie: Yes, but you forget the fact that I am her new bodyguard and I suppose to protect her from the guys who only want that and not start hitting on her.

Ian: Well yeah, but it is still awesome!

Eddie: I know right. – He said with a pleased smile.

They talked about random stuffs and just hung out for a little while until it was time for Ian to go. Eddie walked him out to his car and waited till he drove off. He made his way back and walking through the door he saw Loren sitting on the couch with her parents next to her in the living room. As they got a sight of Eddie's present being in the room they called him over there and told him and Loren that they wanted to talk something out with them.

Loren: So what up?

Nora: We just wanted to talk to you about our trip to Europe.

Eddie: OK.

Trent: There has been some changes in the plan. Till now we weren't supposed to leave just in few weeks, but the negotiators called and said that the date isn't good for them so we had to move it from then to tomorrow.

Eddie: What?!

Nora: Yes. We're off to London tomorrow with the first plane.

After being given some more details of Nora and Trent's trip to Europe Eddie and Loren went to bed. Eddie wasn't so pleased about their sudden leaving cause he thought he would have some more time to get used to this situation. Tomorrow is the day when Nora and Trent leave to London and he will be stuck here with Loren.

The next day

Once she said goodbye to her parents Loren went back to her bed to get some more rest. After sleeping for a couple of hours she was just now lying and trying to think of something to do today. She decided to call Mel over and then plan something out together.

Loren: Hey Mel! Do you want to hang out today?

Mel: Of course? Meet up at my or your house.

Loren: Mine. See you in an hour. Bye!

Mel: Bye!

After hanging up the phone she jumped out of her bed and made her way to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and then get dressed. She walked downstairs to prepare some breakfast, but somebody has already stolen her thunder. Eddie was making pancake with some sausage. The best thing of it was that he did it without a shirt on.

Loren: Good morning there! What are you making? It smells amazing.

She said walking up to him placing her hand on his bare back. He felt him tensing up under her touch and her lips turned into a big grin.

Eddie: Just breakfast. It is enough for two. Wanna join me?

Loren: Of course.

They ate the food together and by the time they were done Mel's arrived. They told Eddie the plan and afterwards the three of them took off to the mall.

Mel: Lo you could've told me about your sexy new bodyguard!

Loren: He's hot isn't he?

Mel: Yes! He's gorgeous!

Loren: How about teasing him a little bit?

Mel: What do you mean?

Loren: What would you say about shopping some lingerie? – She smirking deviously.

Mel: Ohh Loren Tate you're a very bad girl.

Loren: I know…

They waited for Eddie who was walking near behind them to approach and then made their way to closest Victoria's Secret shop. When Eddie saw the sign above the doors he was in awe. He's starting to think that Loren's doing this on purpose.

Loren and Mel picked some bras, panties and lingerie on and now it was time to try them on. They walked over to the dressing rooms and both the girls got inside and started trying them on, while Eddie waited outside patiently.

Loren: Eddie?

Eddie: Yeah?

Loren: Could you help me a little bit?

Eddie: Of course. What is the problem?

After the curtains has been pulled away Loren stepped out of the fitting room, holding a red laced bra against her breasts, preventing it from falling down. She turned back around leaving Eddie standing there paralyzed. His gaze traveled down to Loren's butt which was covered only by a small tong.

Loren: Can you please buckle it up?

Eddie managed to take his eyes off of her and walked closer. He brushed Loren's long hair over her shoulder so now her entire back was visible. Eddie grabbed the two straps and buckled them together. His hands fell down next to his sides and this was the moment when he got the picture together. Loren's really doing this on purpose and want nothing more just to make him uncomfortable by teasing him. So you wanna play Tate? Game on!

He stepped back to his earlier spot and placed his hands on her bare waist. He leaned closer to his ear and softly whispered into it.

Eddie: You look very sexy.

He brought his head a little lower and placed a little kiss on her neck. He let his lips lingering for a few moments and then pulled back exiting the room.
