***Review of Chapter 9***
I knew I caught her off guard when I saw a blush and smile creep up on her face. She averted my gaze and got out of my grip not wanting me to see her embarrassed; but I found it to be even cuter.
Chapter 10- Lots of Leddie
I laughed at Lorens reaction and followed behind her grabbing her arm and spinning her back to face me, I then said in a quiet voice "I'm trying to figure out which time was hotter the time I first saw you in a bikini or now." I couldn't help myself I had to make her embarrassed again and from the slap on my arm and the blush on her face I could tell I succeeded.
Loren turned around walking behind the café to the woods. She looked all kinds of hot as her hips swayed side to side; it was then that my inner guy came out whistling after her. I was amused at my "Guy" reaction to just the sight of Lorens body. I thought for a second about how insecure Loren was about her appearance and I still can't believe she doesn't see how beautiful she is.
I then remembered a song I wrote about her a couple years ago; this is the perfect time to share it with her. Moving fast I ran in the direction of my car trying to take my keys out of my pocket at the same time but dropping them in the process. I need to hurry or I'll lose Loren.
I picked up my keys from the pavement then hit the unlock button, I sprinted to the driver's side opening the door and popping my trunk, I closed the door then headed to the rear of the car; I grabbed my guitar case clicking the buckles open and picked up my acoustic from inside it. I shut the case again throwing it back into my car and closed the trunk door.
Finally I was on my way back to the woods entering where Loren did. I followed the trail she took still not slowing down my speed. As I came up behind her quietly I gave her a tap on the back making her turn around scared, when she noticed it was me she smiled, glancing down she saw the guitar in my hands and slanted her head wondering why I had it, I didn't answer knowing I'd explain everything in a few moments, I took her hand and led her to a nearby stump sitting her down then started my confessions.
Loren's POV
Eddie took a deep breath as he began and simply said "Loren." I looked at him confused at why he said my name, but I could tell he was thinking about something not really paying attention to what I was doing. He focused his eyes on me again and finally spoke a few more words "For some reason I can't come up with the right words so I hope this song will tell you exactly what I want to say."
He took another deep inhale and exhale as he started to strum his guitar, his fingers going every which way and my mind getting lost watching them. He started to sing and I then was speechless as well.
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
So come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Eddie's POV
I examined Lorens face as I started to play the chords on my guitar and right then she was lost, so focused, and fascinated by my fingers movements that I could've stayed there strumming all day and she still would be mesmerized. As I began to sing her eyes immediately went from my hands to my lips listening and taking in every word that came out.
I was moved by the tears I saw start to well up in her eyes, she liked the song. I finished up the last verse finally able to take in a deep breath but it started to hitch when Loren jumped into my arms, my heart was beating out of my chest as I thought to myself "Here goes nothing."
I slightly pushed Loren away from me letting her know I needed to talk she watched me as I started walking back and forth trying to think of the right words to say I stopped and averted her eyes as I asked "Is that what I am?" She looked at me really confused as I slapped myself in the head realizing that what I just said made no sense at all, I looked at her apologetically and spoke again "What I meant was you said I was your boyfriend back there, is that what I am?"
She nervously sighed finally understanding the question, she looked up into my eyes then back down trying to hide her insecurity, I smiled and said "I want to be." She shot her head up and said in a shocked voice "What?" I said again "I want to be your boyfriend." Loren shook her head not believing what I had just admitted to her. I walked closer taking one of her hands in my own and moved a strand of hair from her face with the other. She not breaking our intimate stare questioned me again saying "Really?" my smile growing bigger as I leaned in giving her a sweet kiss on her left cheek.
As I pulled away I shook my head yes then stated "That is of course if you want to be my girlfriend." She imitated my previous reply by leaning in and giving me a kiss on the cheek. When she moved away she shook her head yes and said "Of course Eddie I would love to be your girlfriend." I wasn't too surprised but I was still extremely happy to have that weight lifted off my shoulders. Finally the girl of my dreams is all Mine.
I scooped her up twirling her around a few times as she giggled in my arms. When I put her down she escaped my grasp running further into the forest and up the hill, of course I started to follow her not realizing where she was headed. As I came up next to a still Loren I looked out into the place that hasn't changed a bit, the wood still intact, the lights still hung, and the pond still as beautiful as ever. I then watched as Loren ran out to the wooden gazebo as memories started to flood back.
What memories? Still no sign of Melissa and Ian where'd they go? Are you ready for more LEDDIE?
Song Eddie sang was "What makes you beautiful by One Direction"
