Chapter 22
Loren woke up the next morning in her own bed, much to her dismay. She would rather be waking up next to Eddie. She got dressed and went to have some breakfast.
"Morning." She said walking into the kitchen.
"Morning." Eddie said turning
Loren jumped, "What…why…why are you here? And why are you in an apron?"
Eddie looked down then back up, "Well, I felt bad about rejecting you so I woke up early to come over and make you breakfast then take you to school."
"So you're playing mom." Loren smiled.
"Yeah, I didn't think that part through but, hey I'm trying to be a good boyfriend here!" he smiled.
"Thank you" she said kissing him, "By the way, you look quite sexy in that apron."
"Loren Tate, are you trying to take advantage of me?" Eddie said with a fake shocked look on his face.
"Oh absolutely." she said sitting down.
He placed the plate in front of her and he sat down to eat his breakfast. "Do you like it?"
"Yes, thank you." Loren said taking a sip of water, "Eddie?"
"Yes?"
"I don't mean to sound like a bitch here but, what's the real reason you're doing this?"
Eddie looked at Loren, "You said you wanted us to sleep together before we sleep together."
"Yeah…"
"And I just thought about our time in the bungalow. I was thinking you should experience the whole Eddie Duran. The cooking, cleaning, husband material Eddie, not just Eddie your pillow." He smiled.
Loren leaned up to kiss him. At first he was shocked but he had no objections. He picked her up and brought her over to the couch; she didn't reject that. She was on top this time, how that happened neither of them knew. She had her hands on his belt attempting to take it off. He had her shirt off in 3 seconds and kissed her neck; distracting her from his belt. She let out a soft moan as he moved down to her breasts.
Her doorbell rang and Mel walked in the door. "Hello-OH MY GOD!"
Loren rolled of Eddie and onto the floor. Eddie helped her up and she put on her shirt.
"Oh God, Lo, Eddie, I'm so sorry." Mel said turning to face them. "That's twice now!" she said angry with herself.
"Why are you here?" Loren said trying not to sound mean.
"You didn't answer my texts about a ride to school, but I can see you already have a ride." Mel said winking.
"Mel!" Loren said, embarrassed.
"I'm going to go now, have fun." Mel said rushing out the door. They could hear her laughing until her car pulled away.
"I'm sorry." Loren said turning to Eddie.
"It's fine. You have to get to school anyway." Eddie kissed her.
'One month.' She thought.

Eddie pulled up in front of Loren's school. He unbuckled and turned to her.
"Thank you for this morning." she said in a soft voice.
"Anytime, babe." He said kissing her.
"I wish I could stay." she said with her eyes closed.
"This week will be over soon."
"It better be."
"How about this. Friday, after school, you come over and spend all weekend at my place."
"All weekend?"
"Might as well. We'll have privacy, Mel can't interrupt us…" he said smiling.
"That sounds perfect." she smiled.
The warning bell rang, Loren kissed Eddie goodbye and got out of the car. He watched her walk into the school, wishing he could go with her, to spend the entire day together.

Loren counted down the minutes until the final bell. She couldn't concentrate on school anymore; she just wanted it all to be over.
"So, going home to Eddie?" Mel said at Loren's locker after school.
"Why do you want to interrupt?" Loren smiled.
"Should have put a sock on the door."
"Oh I'm sorry; I thought I was in my house alone."
"Loren your house is my house. You should know this by now." she smiled, "Seriously you two were…"
"I think it's going to happen this weekend."
"What!"
"Well, he invited me to stay all weekend so we can grow closer and I think I want to this weekend."
"This is exciting!"
"Problem is will my mom handle it well?"
"Oh you know she won't. Just do it anyway."
"Who said I was going to let her stop me?"
"Loren, I think I'm starting to rub off on you."
Loren walked outside to see Eddie leaning against his car across the street. People were taking pictures but he could care less. He grinned and waved. Loren said goodbye to Mel and walked up to him. He kissed her then helped her into the car.
"I can see the headlines now, 'Eddie Duran picked girlfriend up from school'" Loren laughed.
"In one month it won't matter."
"I don't think I can wait a month."
"Graduation will come sooner than you thi-"
"I didn't mean graduation." Loren said as Eddie pulled away.
"What do you mean?" Eddie said dryly.
"This weekend. I'm ready."
He turned his head slightly, "Are you sure?"
"So sure." Loren smiled.
"Well, than I can't wait till Friday."
"And it's only Tuesday."
"This week is going to be hell."
"Tell me about it." Loren said leaning back.
He reached over and squeezed her hand. They were in love and Loren couldn't wait to show him just how much she loved him.
Review please. Don't know when 23 will be up.
