**Review of Chapter 6**

Loren: "Well yeah I can't argue with that they are pretty good looking."

Eddie and Ian had walked over to the girls table just in time to over-hear Loren say "They are pretty good looking" Eddie wanted to know who so he spoke up, scaring both Loren and Melissa out of their chairs.

Eddie: Curiously "Who's good looking?"

Chapter 7- How should I do this?

As Loren and Melissa started to get their composure back they took a quick glance towards each other and slapped Eddies arms simultaneously.

Eddie: "Ouch what the hell?"

Melissa: Angry "Eddie why would you do that to us?"

Eddie: "Believe me I didn't mean to! But I gotta say it was a pretty good bonus, right Ian!?"

Eddie went to give Ian a high five but Ian rejected.

Ian: Shaking his head "Nope mate you're on your own with this one."

Eddie: "Really, I didn't mean to guys it's not my fault you get scared easily."

Melissa and Loren: "We were NOT scared."

Eddie: Laughing "Ok keep telling yourselves that girls."

Loren: Sarcastically "Shut up Eddie, we weren't we just got caught off guard."

Eddie: "Alright whatever, now can we sit down or should we find another table?"

Loren and Melissa smile as they thought of the same answer and said in unison "Find another table"

Both Ian and Eddie sat down anyway and gave each other a mischievous look.

Eddie and Ian: "Nah"

Everyone laughed just letting it go, but the whole time all Eddie could think about was "who did Loren think was good looking."

Eddie: "So back to my question from earlier, whose good looking?"

Now that Melissa and Loren thought about it again they busted out laughing, whereas Eddie and Ian were more lost than before.

Ian: "Uh so are you guys gonna tell us or make us wait?"

Melissa thought about it for a second then said "We'll make you wait."

Eddie: "Can't you just tell us, Please."

Loren: Curious "Why do you want to know so badly?"

Melissa: "He's Jealous Lo, duh."

Ian: "Yup so jealous."

Loren: Kind of shocked "Is that true Eddie?"

Eddie: Trying to hide the blush with his hands "I mean yeah a little, but I won't be if you just tell me who it is."

Loren: "Well I would but seeing you like this is so cute, plus there's really nothing to be jealous about, believe me!"

Melissa: "She's right there isn't."

Eddie: "Oh yeah? Is that because of how handsome, smart, talented, and charming I am?"

Loren: "Well yeah that and the fact that …" she couldn't finish her sentence because of the huge laughter that took over her.

Melissa soon joined Loren in her uncontrollable laughter.

Eddie: Aggravated "Can you just tell me already this is really starting to piss me off."

Loren: Breathing heavily "Eddie really it's not a big deal."

Melissa: Amused "Yeah Ed, you have nothing to worry about."

Eddie: "If I don't have anything to worry about then just tell me so I won't anymore."

Loren: "Alright well Eddie we think both…" Loren took a quick breath acting as if it's so dramatic but then she got nervous. "Ugh do I have to say this It's really awkward."

Melissa: "Fine I'll say it we think both your Mom and Loren' Mom are attractive, happy now?"

Eddie: "Are you serious? That's who you were talking about?"

Loren letting out a sigh shook her head "yes"

Eddie: Taking a much needed breath "Oh thank god I thought I would have to kill some guy."

Loren: Laughing "You sure don't, like I said there's no need to worry, I like you and only you Mr. Duran."

Eddie leaned in slowly and gave Loren a much awaited kiss which she happily returned. Thinking it would cut their kiss short Melissa and Ian made puking sounds, but when they didn't stop Melissa spoke up.

Melissa: "Alright we know you love kissing each other and all but seriously this is grossing me out."

Ian: "Yeah really, give us some time to get used to you guys together."

Eddie and Loren reluctantly pulled away due to their friends orders but kept hold of each other's hand.

Eddie: Annoyed "You guys are such party poopers."

Ian: "Sorry mate it's just a little weird."

Loren: Giving Eddie a look "It's ok Ian we understand, we can take it down a notch, right Eddie?"

Eddie: Sarcastically "Right"

Melissa: "As much as I want to continue this conversation because it is so intriguing yet very uncomfortable, I need to head out."

Ian: "What why?"

Melissa: "I just want to go for a drive, clear my head; I'll catch up with you guys later though."

Ian sat in Melissa' way for a bit as she tried anyway possible of getting out, he finally thought of a plan turned his head and gave her a flirty smile, he got up out of his seat and then stuck out his hand for her to take.

Melissa: Confused "Um, what are you doing?"

Ian: "I thought you'd like to go for a walk instead."

Melissa: Laughing "Where Ian all that's around is a parking lot and some woods."

Ian: "I know, let's go."

Melissa took Ian' hand cautiously and slid out of her seat.

Ian: "We'll see you guys later?"

Eddie: "Ok bud."

Loren: "Bye guys, have fun"

Ian and Melissa started walking towards the door hand in hand, taking a quick look back at Loren all Melissa could see was her best friends' overly excited expression for what is to come.

Melissa' Thoughts

Alright Melissa stay calm all you're doing is walking with Ian, he probably just wanted to let the two love birds have time alone, no big deal right? Yeah it's not like he's going to take me on a romantic walk through the forest sit me down and confess his undying love for me that kind of stuff only happens in fairytales. Stay strong and realistic he doesn't like you.

Ian' thoughts

God this is scary, how should I do this? Should I just come out and say it, or like make her wait? Maybe make it fun? Man I should've thought of this earlier and made it all romantic but it's too late we're already in the woods. Maybe I could like sit her down and confess my love for her? Nope, I can't do this. If I don't Eddie will kill me, but if Melissa says that she doesn't feel the same way that would be a thousand times more painful than whatever he could do. Alright yeah I'm not doing it, I mean it's not like she likes me back anyway!

Eddies' POV

As Ian and Melissa walked out of the café, Eddie jumped out of the booth and stuck his hand out for Loren she eagerly took it and followed Eddies lead through the café.

Loren: Still not knowing exactly where they were headed "Uh Eddie where are we going?"

Eddie stayed silent as him and Loren walked over to a shut door, he opened it and stepped inside Loren followed still not knowing what was going on, as soon as she shut the door Eddie swiftly turned her around and whispered "I've been waiting all day to do this" then kissed her with every ounce of passion and desire he had. Loren surprised by this stood there for a second but soon returned the same amount of force. Minutes had passed and Loren broke away not wanting to but needing to breathe again.

Loren: "Wow" was all she could get out.

Eddie: "Yeah."

Loren smiled then kissed him on the cheek; she turned around and started to head back to the front of the café. Eddie closely behind but still a little shell shocked from the kiss watched as Loren completely passed their earlier table and headed straight for the door. Eddie questionably followed her out and was completely surprised by Loren who jumped into his arms knocking him to the ground.

Loren: Giggling of embarrassed "That's not how it usually ends up in the movies."

Eddie: Smiling at the girl who's laying on top of him "I don't think any of the guys in those movies have ever attempted to catch the girl after a kiss like that."

Loren leaned in and kissed him sweetly on the lips but pulled away a lot sooner than Eddie would've liked, he didn't know why until he opened his eyes and saw a girl hovering over both of them.

Ian' Thoughts

Melissa and I are on this beautiful hill top looking down upon our tiny valley, yet all I can think about is how gorgeous she looks right now, I keep glancing over at her and every time my heart stops beating and I can't breathe. She is so perfect and right here next to me, why can't I just do it?

Ian' thoughts are cut off when he hears Melissa breaking the silence.

Melissa: "Hey Ian can I ask you something?"

Ian: Smiling "Sure love anything."

Melissa: "Why did you want to go on a walk with me? Did you just do it so Loren and Eddie could be alone?"

Ian: Nervous "Not at all, you were leaving either way so why not spend it with me."

Melissa: Curious "But why?"

Ian: "Do you want the truth?"

Melissa: "Of course Ian."

Ian' Thoughts

Alright Ian this is it, it's now or never just tell her how you feel, her rejecting can't be as painful as not telling her and holding these feelings in every day. You can do this.

Ian took a much needed breath before he started to confess all he's been hiding.

Ian: "Melissa how would you feel if I told you that I don't want to be friends with you anymore?"

Melissa: Confused "I'd be hurt and wonder what I did wrong."

Ian: Letting out a light laugh "No, ok hold on let me re-word that. How would you feel if I said I didn't want to just be friends with you, but more?"

Melissa: "You want to be more then friends?"

Ian: "Yeah I do, I like you a lot Melissa!"

Melissa: Shocked "You do?"

Ian: "A LOT! I've never felt this way towards anyone else. It's something that is very confusing and at times annoying because when I see you I just want to kiss and hold you in my arms but at the same time I still know we're just friends. Honestly Melissa you're the only girl I could ever see myself with."

Melissa: "How long?"

Ian: "Huh?"

Melissa: "How long have you felt this way?"

Ian: "Do you remember when we met at Eddies' pool party?"

***Flashback***

Melissa: "Omg Loren I'm so excited for this party."

Loren: "I know me too; hopefully there will be some hot guys there."

Melissa: "You've got Eddie the other guys are mine."

Loren: "I don't 'Have' Eddie; he thinks of me as a little sister nothing more."

Melissa: "He will Lo, we're freshman in high-school now he's going to see you as a women not just his little best friend anymore."

Loren: "I hope your right."

Melissa: "Trust me Lo I am."

Melissa and Loren step out of their dressing rooms they were in at the same time and stare at how each look.

Melissa: Wide eyed "Especially in that."

Loren blushed then looked into the mirror and smiled at the dark blue bikini that was showing off all the right places on her very petite form. Melissa was also pleased with her reflection as she saw the bright yellow bikini with just enough pink polka dots on her body.

Loren and Melissa bought the bikinis then headed to Eddies'. They walked straight for the backyard because they knew they were early and wanted to help Eddie and his parents set up, when they stepped into the gate they were very surprised to see everything already finished. Eddie glanced over and saw both of the girls standing just inside the backyard waiting for some kind of direction. He walked towards them and smiled.

Eddie: "Hey guys glad you could make it."

Loren: "Hi, Thanks for inviting us. We thought we'd come by to help set up but by the looks of it you guys are already done."

Eddie: "Yeah well you know my Mom she doesn't like to procrastinate so she started getting everything ready hours ago."

Loren: "I do the same thing when I have a party. Where is your Mom I want to say hi?"

Eddie: "She's in the kitchen putting the last touches on her homemade cake."

Loren: "Awesome I'll be right back, Is that ok Mel?"

Melissa: "Sure Lo, I'll just hang here with Eddie."

Guy: "And me."

Melissa turned around to see a very attractive guy standing next to Eddie.

Melissa: "Right sorry, and him!?"

Loren: "Ok."

Loren headed inside.

Melissa: "Um"

Eddie: "Oh right, sorry. Melissa this is Ian my best friend, Ian this is Melissa, Loren's' best friend."

Melissa: "So that's all I am to you Loren's Best friend? Wow Eddie I thought we had a better relationship then that."

Eddie: Laughing "We do I'm sorry, Ian this is my friend Melissa, Better?"

Melissa: "Much, Hi Ian nice to meet you."

Ian: "No, the pleasure is all mine love."

Melissa gave him a shy smile that made his heart race for the first time.

**End of flashback**

Melissa: Smiling "Yeah I remember."

Ian: "Well that's when."

Melissa: "Wow"

Ian: "What? Am I making a complete fool of myself? Do you not like me back 'cause if you don't just tell me, please."

Melissa: "No, I do like you Ian and that's when I started too."

Ian: "So wait you're telling me you've liked me as long as I've liked you yet we have been just friends this whole time."

Melissa: "Seems that way."

Ian: "Well that's a huge waste of time."

Melissa: Laughing "It really was."

Ian: "So now that we said all that, how would you feel if I said I wanted us to be more then friends?"

Melissa: "I don't know you haven't asked me yet but I'll be sure to tell you my answer when you do."

Ian: "You're really going to make me say it?"

Melissa: Smiling "Yup I am British boy"

Ian: "Alright fine, Melissa Sanders will you be my girlfriend?!"

Thanks for reading guys. Sorry for such a short flashback but I didn't want it to be too long, and I know in the show both Melissa and Ian are overly confident in their feelings and in who they are but I thought it'd be cool to show their more fragile and confused side. So I hope you guys liked it please let me know what you thought I love all feedback. Also follow or favorite my story so I know you like it. :) Thanks again I love you all.

XOXO
