**Review of Chapter 1**
They both sat there looking each other in the eyes as they finished their last verse.
Eddie: "So is that a yes to the song?"
Loren smiled and shook her head yes. Eddie leaned in slowly as his lips started to touch hers, she happily moved in closer, the New Year's fireworks started going off so they pulled apart leaving just their foreheads touching as they both smiled at the sight in front of them, they sweetly said.
Eddie: "Happy New Year"
Loren: "Happy New Year"
Chapter 2- I'm just going to say it.
Loren' thoughts
Is this really happening? I can't believe it! I am kissing my best friend, is that weird? No, we like each other at least I think he likes me. Oh well I don't care I'm finally with the guy I've been crushing on forever and I'm not going to ruin this moment by wondering if he truly wants me or not.
Eddie' thoughts
Good job Ed you finally got the guts to kiss Loren, and I gotta admit a kiss at exactly 12pm on New Year' day was a genius plan and a pretty great way to start this off with us, Not that its 12 o'clock anymore its way past that but we still have yet to move our position.
Mmmm Amazing; that's the only word I can use to describe how it feels to finally kiss the girl I've been in love with for as long as I can remember. I fell for her fast and hard, I mean who wouldn't she's beautiful, smart, talented, down to earth, did I say beautiful? Because she is the most gorgeous girl I have ever met in my life. I can't believe I've been able to hide my feelings from her for so long. I mean yeah I've been trying to fill this gap in my heart that could only be filled with Loren' love for so many years with many different girls but none could even compare to how absolutely breathe taking she is. I still don't know if Lo even likes me or not but I had to at least show her I cared before I leave for my tour. I should have a long time ago but If she didn't like me back It would ruin our friendship. Now that I am with her I never want to even look at another girl, Loren Tate is to perfect to let slip through my fingers.
As much as I don't want to pull away I need air really bad and that's the only way to get it. I pull away slowly opening my eyes seeing the most beautiful sight in front of me, with a huge smile on my face because that was the best kiss I've ever experienced and also because I know that this is the only girl I ever want to kiss again, the only girl I will love, my soul mate, the girl I want and will marry someday.
Eddie: Slightly out of breath "Lo,"
Loren: Also trying to catch her breath "yeah"
I could feel Eddie' eyes on me so slowly I lifted my head, he was not staring at me with disgust, or regret, but with the same look I was giving him, warmth, happiness, and love. Is it really possible that he feels the same way? I got caught up in my thoughts again and drained out all of what Eddie had just said to me.
Loren: Snapping back into reality "Huh, What? Sorry!"
Eddie: Laughing "You always do that."
Loren: Smiling "do what?"
Eddie: "Get so distracted with your thoughts that you totally zone out."
Loren: "I do not!"
She knew he was right but fighting with Eddie was always fun.
Eddie: "Uh yeah you do! Remember last month when I was telling you all about my tour and you didn't hear anything I said because there was one word you didn't understand so you just had to figure it out."
Loren: "Well I wanted to know what it meant so I knew what the heck you were talking about and that doesn't count because it wasn't even a real word. What was it again?"
Eddie: "Funtastical"
Loren: "Yeah that! What the flip does it even mean?"
Eddie busted out laughing, to the point that there were tears in his eyes, he tried to talk but couldn't because he was so out of breath. Loren on the other hand had enough of Eddie' laughter and decided to walk away. After a while he finally got his composure back and quickly noticed Loren was gone. He walked over to the kitchen she wasn't there, so he went to her room and she wasn't there. "Where is she?" He thought to himself. Then it came to him, he knew exactly where she was, he slowly opened the sliding glass door to her balcony, making sure that she wouldn't hear him. When he successfully did he went behind her and screamed in her ear. Loren jumped out of her chair and started laughing.
Loren: "god Eddie what the heck?"
Eddie: Laughing "Sorry Lo, I had to."
Loren rolled her eyes and sat back down in the two person rocking chair. When Eddie didn't sit down Loren got nervous and looked towards him.
Loren: "Eddie what's wrong, are you ok?"
Eddie: A small smirk formed on his face "Yeah I'll be right back ok!"
Loren: Confused "K"
Loren was sitting there wondering why it was taking Eddie so long, when she was about to get up he appeared out of nowhere.
Eddie: "Going somewhere?"
Loren: "No just wondering where you were."
Eddie: Smiling "Well I'm right here."
Loren: Sarcastically "Thank you captain obvious!"
Eddie: Laughing "Sorry you're such an easy target today I can't help it."
Loren: "Yeah whatever."
Eddie: Trying to copy Loren' sass "Yeah whatever."
They both laughed and Eddie sat down next to Loren covering both of them with a blanket and handing her a cup of freshly made hot tea and a red rose. Loren couldn't help the smile and blush that creped on her face when he was being so sweet.
Loren: "What is this for?"
Eddie: "You"
Loren smiled once again.
Loren: "Who knew you could be such a gentleman?"
Eddie: "There's a lot you don't know about me Lo"
Loren: "That's surprising considering how much you talk about yourself."
They both let out a little laugh.
Loren: "But really, what don't I know about you Mr. Duran?"
Eddie: Setting his Tea on the table next to him "Well you should know that I absolutely HATE tea!"
Loren: Sarcastically "NO"
Eddie: Curiously"Why don't you look surprised?"
Loren: Laughing "Eddie I've known that for years."
Eddie: "What? How? Why didn't you tell me you knew?"
Loren: "One question at a time please!"
Eddie: Chuckling at her cuteness "ok my first question is, How?"
Loren: "I'm pretty sure your first question was "what?" but I think you heard me the first time so I'll skip that one." They both laughed lightly "It was pretty obvious Ed"
Eddie: "How I tried so hard to drink it all the time because I know it's your favorite."
Loren: "Yes you did and it was so sweet of you but I could tell by the look on your face when you took a sip."
Eddie: "Dang… why did you make me go through it then?"
Loren: Smiling "it was funny."
Eddie: "You know it's not nice to make someone suffer!"
Loren: Giggling "Suffer Eddie? It was just Tea."
Eddie: "Just tea? It is absolutely terrible, it is pretty much the worst thing that I have ever tasted in my life!"
Loren couldn't help the laugh that soon took over her entire body, it was uncontrollable. Eddie was trying not to laugh because he was dead serious; he hated tea with every bone in his body. But he couldn't help the little chuckle that escaped his lips; Loren was just to adorable when she laughed. She finally calmed down and started to breathe again when Eddie started to get back on track.
Eddie: "So where was I? Oh yeah ok stuff you don't know about me…"
Loren: Still trying to catch her breath "Yes please go on."
Eddie: "Ok well, did you know that for my photo shoots they make me wear make up?"
Loren: Laughing once again "What? No! Really?"
Eddie: Slightly embarrassed "Yup"
Loren: "Well that's probably why you look so perfect in all of them."
Eddie: "Mmm I don't know about that, I mean I'm pretty much always perfect."
Loren: "So full of yourself."
Eddie: Amused"What you're the one that said It first I was simply agreeing with you."
Loren: "I mean when you're in a picture and I'm not able to hear you're incredibly annoying and cocky voice."
Eddie: "Ouch that one hurt a little."
Loren: Smirking "Sorry but you know it's true, so what other things don't I know about you?"
Eddie: "Hmm Well, You see there's this girl…"
Loren: Blushing "Oh? And who is this girl?"
Eddie: "Um I don't know if you know her, she's the most talented, most sweet, smartest, and the most beautiful girl I've ever met, oh and she's my bestest friend ever!"
Loren: "Is that so?"
Eddie: "Yup every single part of it! And you probably didn't know that I have had the biggest crush on her since I was 11 years old."
Loren: "Really? You have?"
Eddie: "Mhm, ever since the first time I saw you get lost in your lyrics." Smiling "Loren Tate, I have so many feelings for you that I can't even understand you are what I've wanted for so long and every time I tried to tell you how I felt I couldn't get the right words out. I can't believe you don't know what your sweet smile does to me. I have never felt so much for one person in my life and now that I am able to tell you this I want to tell you everything I'm not going to hold back anymore I need to tell you what's been on my heart for so long."
Eddie took a deep breath getting ready to spill out all his feelings everything he has been wanting, needing, and desiring to tell her for so long. With tears in her eyes and a simple nod from Loren, Eddie continued.
Eddie: "Loren you mean the world to me, you inspire my music, you inspire me to be a better person, and a better friend because you are the most amazing friend anyone could ask for, and there are no words to describe how much I've been wanting to tell you this so I'm just going to say it, Loren Tate I…
