Surprise! Before Christmas! Te-he! Hope you like it.
"Eddie!" Loren yelled, when she woke up. Eddie ran up the stairs, skipping two every now and then. Finally, when he got to his room and saw Loren sat up.
"You okay?" He asked.
Loren pointed to the wall, "Kill it, kill it, kill it!"
Eddie's head turned to where she was pointing to and saw a spider on the wall. He smiled and shook his head. Loren had a small fear for spiders.
"Sure sweetie."
He got a piece of a paper towel and smashed the spider, killing it.
"See," Eddie said, getting it off the wall, "Dead."
Loren sighed of relief and relaxed into the bed.
"Thanks." Loren said, blushing.
Eddie chuckled and kissed her head.
"Welcome."
Just then, Loren's phone buzzed. Not thinking about who it could be, she grabbed it and saw a text from Mel.
"Hey, your mom and I –And Eddie- have a surprise for you c;"
Loren looked at her phone, then at Eddie.
"What?" Eddie asked, feeling uncomfortable under her stare.
"You, my mom, and Mel have a surprise for me?" She asked.
Eddie smiled brightly and got up and left the room, innocently.
"Eddie! Get back here!" Loren demanded, chasing after him. Eddie turned around and before she knew it, she was slung over Eddie's shoulder.
"Eddie! Put me down!" She whined, beating on his back. Eddie ignored it and kept walking.
"Nah, I'm good." He said, walking out of his penthouse and into the elevator.
"Eddie! Where are we going?! You're not kidnapping me, are you?" She asked. Eddie laughed.
"No. We're going to your mom's."
"But I'm not even ready!" She whined. Eddie waved off her excuse.
"Shut up Loren, you look beautiful."
Loren huffed, "Liar."
Eddie rolled his eyes and stepped out of the elevator when it came to a stop.
"Hey, Jeffrey." Eddie said as if he didn't have his girlfriend over his shoulder.
Jeffrey smirked, "Hello, Mr. Duran, and Ms. Tate." He said, laughing.
Loren lifted her head and glared at Jeffrey, "Shut up."
The men laughed.
"Oh quit your complaining, Loren. I'll put you down when we get to the car." Eddie said.
"No, now! The blood's rushing to my head." She whined.
Eddie rolled his eyes again, "Baby." He muttered.
"What did you say?" Loren asked, looking over at him.
"Nothing dear." He said quickly.
"That's what I thought."
Eddie set her down on the passenger side and she crossed her arms.
"My head hurts now."
Eddie laughed a kissed her head, "Better?"
Loren pouted with a small smile.
"A little."
Eddie chuckled and gave her a kiss before going to the driver's side.
Loren looked in the glove compartment and she –luckily- found a brush.
"Thank God." She muttered and brushed out her hair.
"Found a brush?" Eddie asked amused. Loren glared at him.
Eddie focused more the road.
Finally, they got to Nora's and when they did, Loren jumped out, exited for her surprise.
"Whoa, relax jumpy." Eddie chuckled.
"I can't! I'm excited!" Loren squealed.
Eddie laughed and slung her over his shoulder again, making her groan.
"Not this again!" She whined.
"Nope, too bad." Eddie laughed.
"I hate you." Loren muttered.
"Love you too, babe."
Loren huffed and just stayed still and Eddie rang the doorbell.
Seconds later, Nora opened the door.
"Hi Nora!" Eddie said cheerfully.
"Hi…Eddie. Now, why do you have my daughter over your shoulder?" Nora asked amused.
Eddie shrugged, "She was jumping."
Nora nodded and let them in.
"Hi mom." Loren said awkwardly. Nora laughed and crouched down.
"Hi sweetie. Having fun?" She asked amused.
"No. The blood's rushing to my head. Eddie! Put me down!" She whined. Eddie laughed.
"Fine."
Eddie gently set her down.
"Thank you." She said.
Eddie gave her a kiss and laughed.
"You're very welcome."
Loren rolled her eyes and sat down, "So what's my surprise?"
Nora shook her head, "No, we're waiting until Mel gets here."
Loren pouted.
"Hey guys." Max said, walking out of a room.
"Hey pop." Eddie said, giving his dad a hug.
"Hey Max." Loren said as Max walked over to give her a hug.
"So I'm guessing that Mel told you about or surprise for you, Loren?" Max asked, already knowing the answer.
"Of course. It's Mel, we're talking about."
Max laughed and nodded.
"I'm here!" Mel yelled as she walked in the house.
"Sure, come on in." Nora said sarcastically.
"Sorry, Nora." Mel said sheepishly.
Nora laughed, "It's okay Mel. You're practically family now."
Mel smiled.
"Hey Mel." Loren said. Mel looked over at Loren and her smile brightened.
"Hey Lo!" She said, giving her best friend a big hug.
"Okay, now can I have my surprise?" Loren asked as they broke away from the hug.
Everyone laughed.
"Sure. Well, let's have Eddie tell you." Nora said, gesturing to the young rock star.
Eddie smiled, "Loren, will you move in with me?"
Cliffhanger? I don't know. I'm pretty sure you'll know her answer. Hope you liked it!
'Till next time!
