Here it is Chapter 5 -1 of my LEDDIE FANFIC (Intrigued Since They First Met) I wasn't too sure about this one, so please let me know what you think!

I don't own Hollywood Heights, or any of its characters.

Loren decided she was not going to think about the breakup or Cam or anything that caused her pain because she already had made a fool out of herself in front of Eddie once that night so she pushed her emotions to the side and let go because when she was with Eddie, he made her forget all the bad things anyways. She felt at ease when he was around, like she didn't have a care in the world. They were very comfortable around each other, which was unusual to both of them since they had only known each other for a little less than three weeks and they both never usually get too comfortable around other people that fast. Loren decided on making roasted chicken, homemade mac n' cheese, and corn bread with some salad on the side and brownies for desert and Eddie was helping as well, which mostly consisted of Loren telling Eddie to get certain ingredients and making Eddie run back and forth to the fridge and the cabinets. Eddie had known Loren for a short amount of time but within that time he learned that Loren made the most amazing food he had ever had so he was excited and he also thought she looked hot in her apron.;)

Eddie: ok so what are we making here again?

Loren: Eddie I just told you what we are making; you were looking at me but I guess you weren't listening.

Eddie: Oh, my bad… (Eddie blushed because of what he was thinking about when Loren was talking)

Loren: (Loren saw him blush which made her curious) Sooo what were you thinking about that had you all dazed out like that?

Eddie: Uh, nothing (Eddie looked down, knowing Loren wouldn't let it go)

Loren: Come on Eddie… (She really wasn't going to let it go for some reason)

Eddie looked up at her then quickly looked down and mumbled really quickly: You look really hot in your apron…

Loren blushed because she heard exactly what he said and she thought it was adorable when he flirted with her so she flirted back.

Loren: Well you don't look so bad in one yourself ;)

Eddie was taken aback by how Loren flirted back with him, he thought what he said was inappropriate but when Loren flirted back. He always thought she was flirting with him but he was never sure of it until now and now that he knew, he couldn't help but have this undeniable grin on his face.

Loren: (Loren was now blushing and she felt it getting hot in that kitchen, but not literally so she changed the subject) Soooo… (she said turning back to her pot of mac n' cheese she was making) Eddie, we are making mac n' cheese as you could see here from scratch, roasted chicken which is already in the oven, salad, and homemade corn bread, with brownies for dessert.

Eddie: Oh my gosh Loren that sounds amazing!

Loren: Thank you now help me make the corn bread.

Eddie: I actually know a recipe for corn bread that my mom taught me when I was younger but if you want to use your own that's ok too (Eddie said looking down)

Loren: (She smiled and put her hand on Eddie's shoulder) I would love to learn it if you'll teach me?

Eddie looked up into her eyes when she touched his shoulder and he honestly just fell for her a little more. She is so kind (he thought to himself)

Eddie: (he smiled) I would be happy to Loren, but now it's your turn to get the ingredients missy.

Loren: At your service Mr. Duran… (she joked)

Eddie: (he gave Loren the most deviously flirty look and said) Mmmm, well if you're at my service then I have a couple more things I want you to do for me but we can save those for later. (he winked)

Loren: (she slapped his arm and smiled) Eddie! Why are you so annoying?

Eddie often joked like that with Loren, so she was used to it but now she was actually considering it secretly in her mind but she still found it embarrassing that he joked like that with her so she was blushing, a bright red.

Eddie: (Eddie rubbed his arm in fake pain as he smiled) ouch... well you could save the spankings for later too… (He smiled sexually then started laughing. He honestly loved messing with Loren so much)

Loren: Yeah, you may think it's funny but don't mess with me Duran! I am not as soft as I look!

Eddie smirked again (he thought) damn she is making this way too easy!

Eddie: ooohhh I would love to see you show me your dark side! (he said while nudging her and winking)

Loren: Oh shut up! Why is your mind always in that place? Now just tell me the ingredients for the corn bread! (still blushing)

Eddie: Ok ok... (still chuckling)

He told her the ingredients and Loren went to her pantry and the fridge to get them, when she came back, Eddie was sneaking mac n'cheese out of the pot.

Loren: Eddie! Not till dinner, ugh why are guys so impatient? Cam was the same wa- (she cut herself off and looked down)

Eddie: Loren it's ok. (He started to see the hurt come back to her eyes)

All of the sudden Loren felt a huge knot in her throat because when she said his name, memories started flowing back of what happened and how they were so in love and how he could possibly be cheating on her this whole time and just faked being in love with her. She had this over whelming feeling to cry until she felt Eddie's strong arms wrap around her. When he wrapped his arms around her, she didn't feel like crying any more, it was like he just scared all her sad thoughts away and she snapped back to reality after about 2 minutes in Eddie's embrace.

Loren let go of Eddie; looked at him and smiled

Loren: Thank you Eddie

Eddie: (He nodded and smiled) Ok now let me teach you how to make this corn bread that I fell in love with as a kid.

Loren: Ok, let's get going because after this we are making my chocolate chip brownies. (Eddie's eyes widened at the thought of brownies and Loren chuckled)

They started putting all the ingredients into a bowl and now all they had to do was mix it. Loren started to mix the bowl lightly to keep it fluffy when Eddie grabbed her hand.

Loren: um what are you doing?

Eddie: (still holding on her hand) Loren, the key to making this is to mix it really hard, I don't know why but that's how my mom did it. See…

Eddie went behind Loren, still holding on her hand and started to whisk the batter with both of their hand on each other's and on the whisk. Eddie actually didn't realize how close he and Loren were until she looked up at him and he realized they were only inches away from each other and their bodies were touching and his hand was still on her hand. And as of right now they were staring at each other too.

Loren on the other hand realized what Eddie did, the second he did it and started to blush immediately. Then she looked up at him, now they were just gazing at each other, so Loren decided to make it interesting…

Let me know where you want this part of the story to end up going! I hope you guys liked it!

By the way I am going to be splitting chapter 5 into parts because it's a lot and Loren originally planned to be there for a week!

Feedback please!

I hope you guys liked it!
