***Review of Chapter 3***

I wonder what he wanted to tell me. Whatever it was he needs to tell me during something romantic, why? What is so important that he needs to tell me on a special occasion? Maybe… No he wouldn't! Would he? Would he actually tell me that? There is no way not now, but what if he was going to say it, would I be able to say it back? …Yeah of course I would, right it's not that hard all I have to do is say is 3 simple words. But what if I get nervous would I be able to?

Chapter 4- The song, the rose, the confessions, and her favorite the kisses.

Lorens POV-

Loren hopped out of bed faster than ever before with a smile that hasn't left her face since Eddie left the night before, she jumped in the shower taking her time day dreaming about all the upcoming things her and Eddie will be able to do now that there "together", After she was done she put on a cute pink short dress with a brown belt and brown ankle boots. She took a glance in the mirror and thought to herself "This is going to be a great day!" She grabbed her phone and saw a text from her overly colorful best friend Melissa and remembered she wasn't able to tell her all about what happened with Eddie. "Oh my Gosh Mel is going to have a field day with this one. She's always joked about something like this happening but I never thought it would actually happen, but now that it has I don't think she is even going to believe it." Loren shot Mel a text back telling her to meet at the Café in a half an hour, and headed into the kitchen for breakfast. When she arrived there was the always beautiful Nora Tate standing there cooking a sweet smelling breakfast of Pancakes and bacon. Loren walked up and gave her Mom a nice little kiss on the cheek.

Loren: "Mmm smells delicious Mom."

Nora: "Thanks sweetie, So how was your New Year's day?"

Before Loren could answer she got caught up in all the memories, the song, the rose, the confessions, and her favorite the kisses.

Nora: Staring at her daughter curiously "Wow, must've been some night."

Loren: Finally snapping out of her thoughts "Wait what did you say?"

Nora: Laughing lightly "I was just saying that it looks like you had a pretty great night with Eddie."

Loren: Pouring her-self some milk "Why would you say that?"

Nora: Taking a seat at the table "Well after I asked you about it, you zoned out. And when I got home last night both you and Eddie seemed pretty bummed to see me."

Loren: Sitting across from her Mom and slightly stuttering "No we were just talking, I mean it was a good night you know catching up but nothing really happened… I mean like nothing between us… Well you know nothing different than normal with us. " Loren quickly got up and started to grab her things to leave "Well I gotta go I told Mel I'd meet her at the Café."

Nora: Turning in her chair to watch Loren "But you haven't even touched your breakfast."

Loren: Opening the door "I'll just grab something there. Bye Mom Love you."

Nora- "Ok Honey love y…" And the door slammed shut.

Lorens thoughts

Wow that was so close, I almost slipped. I'm not sure if Eddie wants me to tell anyone about us or not but there's no way I can keep this from Melissa, she'll know something's up. I'll just tell her to keep it a secret till Eddie and I want to show off. Will she be able to keep the secret? Did Eddie tell anyone? Gosh why are relationships so hard! If that's what you can call this, I don't really know what to call it; a special friendship? a fluke? Nothing? Ugh Whatever, I'm sure Mel will know exactly what to say to make me feel better about all this at least I hope she will… Finally I'm here.

Loren shot out of her car and practically skipped through the parking lot and to the door she took a deep breath and opened it slowly. She scanned the café trying to find Melissa, "There she is colorful as always." Loren walked over to the table Mel was sitting at in her very bright neon yellow dress with a pink belt and high heels, she casually sat across from Melissa and smiled.

Melissa: Smirking "There's my sexy best friend."

Loren: Rolling her eyes but showing a hint of red "Yeah ok Mel, What's up?"

Melissa: "Well I've been waiting here for 10 minutes where have you been?"

Loren: "Sorry my Mom was asking me questions about my night last…"

Melissa: Cutting her off mid-sentence "Oh my god with Eddie Yes, How was it?"

Loren: "god you sound like my Mother."

Melissa: Shaking her head "Well we both want to know, so spill! And don't leave out a single detail. Got it?!"

Loren: Trying to hide her amused smile "Well It was mostly like any other night with Eddie and I, we laughed, we joked, we kissed, we talked, and he made fun of me."

Melissa let out a sigh then realization hit her that Loren just said "Kiss"

Melissa: Almost screaming "HE KISSED YOU?"

Loren: Smiling from ear to ear "Yes, but quiet down he didn't DTR." {DTR-define the relationship}

Melissa: In an overly excited voice "SO who cares…. he still kissed you. This is so amazing Lo! AHHHH omg this is gonna be so cool you guys are going to have the cutest kids. You're naming one after me just to let you know! Oh and …."

Loren: Cutting her off "Whoa Mel, I'm happy too but a kiss and a couple confessions does NOT mean kids."

Melissa: "In my eyes it does! And what did he confess? You never said anything about that."

Loren: "Because you didn't give me the chance."

Melissa: Trying to calm her-self down "Touché. Alright I'm calm lay it on me babe."

Loren: Smiling "Ok well it started out…"

Melissa: "Wait you never told me if you are going to name your kid after me or not."

Loren: In an annoyed voice "Mel!"

Melissa: "What I want to know!"

Loren: "Ugh fine if Eddie and I ever get married I'll name my daughter after you, but like Melody then I can call her Mel. Is that ok with you?"

Melissa: Smiling "Perfect, now you may continue your love story."

Loren: "I haven't even started it yet because I was so rudely interrupted."

Melissa: "Well now I'm letting you start it so, Go before I come up with another question!"

Loren: Not able to hide her excitement anymore "Ok, ok, so he first got there and we were talking like always then he asked me to sing a duet with him for his album."

Melissa: Shocked "No way! You can sing?"

Loren: Looking down "Well yeah I guess according to Eddie and My Mom"

Melissa: A little confused and hurt "Why haven't you ever told me?"

Loren- Sensing her friends pain "It's not you Mel, it's just something I don't really like to do in front of anyone even my Mom, the only way she hears me is through my door. Eddie is really the only one I let listen because when we were music partners we would have to practice together and that's why were so comfortable together now because of the music. And I promise I will let you hear one of my songs if I'm not to nervous."

Melissa: "You better. But you write your own songs too?"

Loren: "Yup."

Melissa: Curious "What are they about?"

Loren: "Well they're mostly about Eddie, some about my Dad. They started out as letters to him, and then turned into poems, which turned into lyrics, which I put to beats and bam a song."

Melissa: "Hmm any about me?"

Loren: "Actually, Yes I have it in my notebook if you want to read it."

Melissa: Letting out a breath and smiling "I'd love to Lo, but after your story I want to hear all about it."

Loren: Happily sighing "Ok, well where was I?"

Melissa: " Eddie asking you to be on his" singing "Album"

Loren: Giggling "Right! So at first I was a little apprehensive 'cause like it's an album you know? But then Eddie said how it's no different than all the other times we sang together, which I said was wrong because he's not Eddie anymore, well not for long, I mean he's going to be Eddie Duran the Rockstar soon. Anyway he changed my mind about that by saying how he was the same guy who hates scary movies and the same one who asked me out but chickened out 'cause he was so nervous."

Melissa: Laughing "So he was really asking you out?! Wow 2 years wasted of my life hearing you contemplate whether he was just kidding or not."

Loren: "What I did not…. ok yeah it was a waste." A little sarcastic "Sorry"

Melissa: Chuckling lightly "Its ok but you owe me." Loren nodded her head in agreement "Ok go on with the story."

Loren: "Alright well after that we sang the duet and it was so amazing, it was called "Just Friends" I'm not positive but I think it was about us."

Melissa: "Aww OMG he wrote a song about you that's so cute."

Loren: Blushing "Yeah I think so, it really was the sweetest song ever but that's not even the best part of the night."

Melissa: "Really? A song about you isn't the best part, god I need to hear this please continue."

Loren: "Ok So after we finished the last verse he kissed me, not like a boring kiss that all my past boyfriends have given me but like a full on passionate kiss, it was to die for. Anyway we heard the fireworks for the New Year pulled apart and said Happy New Year to each other than continued kissing."

Melissa: Shrieking "OH MY GOD LO THAT'S SO CUTE!"

Loren: Blushing "I know right, but let me finish!"

Melissa: Calming down "Ok, Ok go I'm ready."

Loren: Not able to wipe the smile off her face "Ok so after the second kiss which was more like a make out session we weren't able to breath anymore so we pulled apart, we started talking and I said something dumb to make him start dying with laughter; I didn't think it was funny though, so I just left the room and went onto the back porch."

Melissa: "What'd you say to make him not even notice you leave?"

Loren: Serious "It's not important"

Melissa: "Oh alright I see it was something REALLY stupid. Well you don't have to tell me I'll just ask Eddie when I see him, now you may keep going."

Loren: "Hell no you're not asking him, it's really not even worth it.Loren took a deep breath "Anyway I was sitting on the rocking chair and Eddie screams in my ear making me jump out of my skin. He said I was an easy target, so when I sat back down he didn't sit next to me."

Melissa: Sadly "Aww why how come?"

Loren: "I'm getting there just hold on."

Melissa: Rolling her eyes "Ok, but hurry."

Loren: "Well when I turned around he said hold on, a couple minutes later he came back out and sat down covering us both with a blanket. He handed me a fresh cup of tea and a red rose."

Melissa: Shocked "Who knew Eddie Duran was such a romantic?!"

Loren: "I know right, that's what I told him. So after that we started talking about things I didn't know about him and he told me some random stuff, and then he said that there was this girl he liked that was the sweetest, most beautiful, and talented girl he's ever met and who he's had a crush on for years."

Melissa: Shaking Loren "Oh my gosh he's talking about you, Lo he's talking about you!"

Loren: Laughing "I know Mel I was there."

Melissa: Letting go of Loren "Oh right, Just making sure you knew."

Loren: "Thanks, so after that he started confessing how he's liked me for so long but hasn't been able to get the right words to tell me, and that I'm who he's always wanted to be with."

Melissa: Almost crying "Awwww that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard."

Loren: "Yeah you should've been there, I was about to burst into tears."

Melissa: "No I shouldn't have that would've been really awkward."

Loren: Laughing "Yeah your right I'm glad you weren't."

Melissa: Also laughing "Yeah me to, anyways keep going I want to hear how it ends."

Loren: "Right, well after that he said that there's something he's been wanting to tell me for a long time but never could 'cause we weren't like "together" but now that we were or are he can finally say it."

Melissa: Curious "OMG what did he say?"

Loren: "Oh you're gonna love this right when he was about to say it my Mom started to call me because she just got home."

Melissa: Pouting "Are you serious? What a buzz kill! Did he ever tell you what he was going to say?"

Loren: "No, when I asked him all he said was that it wasn't romantic enough, what do you think he wanted to say?"

Melissa: "Do you think he was going to tell you he loved you?"

Loren: "I don't know that's what I was thinking but don't you think it's a little too soon?"

Melissa: "Maybe but I mean you guys have liked each other forever, one kiss could've been all he needed to see that he did in fact love you."

Loren: Blushing "Yeah maybe."

Melissa looked at Loren who was all kinds of red and a little flustered she thought for a second then asked her friend a serious question.

Melissa: "Wait Lo, do you love Eddie?"
