Chapter 18. Do You Like Her?

Loren woke to a pair of arms wrapped around her but didn't remember Eddie coming to bed last night. She slowly got up because she didn't want to wake him. She put on a pair of Eddies sweatpants knowing Ian had slept over. She walked into the front room seeing a sleeping Ian on the sofa. Loren tip-toed over to the piano where she had left her phone the night. When she checked her phone she saw she had a missed call from her mom and a text from Mel. When she went to check the text she dropped her phone on the piano keys, waking up Ian.

Ian: Well good morning to you too, Loren. –He said sarcastically-

Loren: I'm so sorry Ian I didn't mean to wake you, I was just reading my text from Mel and…

She noticed him smiling when she said Mel's name

Loren: Why are you smiling so hard?

Ian: -Starting to smile- What are you talking about?

Loren: When I said Mel's name you started to get all giddy –She said laughing- you like her, don't you?

Ian never talked to anyone about "how he felt", especially about a girl. Loren was Mel's best friend and he really didn't want to tell her, but then he started to think. Maybe Mel told Loren about how she feels about me. Maybe she can help me figure out what I should do.

Ian: If were going to talk about this, this has to stay between me and you. You can't even tell Eddie.

Loren: -Sitting down on the sofa with Ian- Promise!

Ian: Mel and I started talking awhile back and I guess you can say I…like her…a lot but I'm not sure if she likes me too.

Loren: Ian Touching him on the shoulder- If you like Mel go for it. She is an amazing girl, and from what I know about you you're an awesome guy.

Ian: Do you think she likes me?

Loren: How am I supposed to know, ask her!

Ian: You're her best mate you should know…

Loren: Even if I did know, it's still up to you to find out. Don't miss out on a chance of happiness because you're unsure what the outcome may be.

Ian: Who would have ever thought the valley girl would be giving me advice. –He said laughing-

Loren: I'm pretty wise –She smiled at him-

Eddie woke up realizing Loren wasn't in the bed with him. He looked around and didn't see her so he called for her.

Eddie: Lo? –He said calling from the room-

Loren: I'm in the front with Ian…

Ian: Remember, don't tell Eddie.

Loren: I won't –She said smiling-

Eddie walked in the front room to find Loren and Ian sitting on the sofa talking.

Eddie: What did I miss? –He said as he walked over to the sofa by Loren and Ian-

Ian: Nothing at all mate…the Mrs. Just woke me up is all –He said laughing-

Eddie: Oh really? –He walked over to Loren and kissed her- Well why didn't you wake me up?

Loren: I didn't mean to wake Ian up, I was just coming to get my phone and it fell on the piano.

Eddie: Ok…Well since were all up how about we get out the house and go get some lunch later? –He said as he sat on the arm of the sofa wrapping his arms around Loren-

Loren: Sounds good…And since Ian is going how about I invite Mel…you know so I won't be the only girl.

Ian: The more the merrier. –He said trying not to sound to excited that Loren was inviting Mel-

Eddie was a little suspicious about why Ian was so on bored for Mel to come to lunch too, but he brushed it off. Ian went to take a shower while Loren and were in there room talking.

Eddie: I was kind of bummed I didn't wake up to that beautiful face this morning.

Loren: I'm sorry…I was coming back to bed after I checked my phone.

Eddie: And you just so happened to wake Ian?

Loren: Oh…is someone a little jealous? –She said smiling seductively-

Eddie: No… I guess I have a little competition now. –He said smiling-

Loren: What are you talking about? –She said walking over to Eddie wrapping her arms around his waist-

Eddie: Ian gets a wake up call and I didn't? –He said making a puppy dog face-

Loren: Oh so you want a wake up call do you? –She smiled and then leaned in to kiss him-

This was the wake up call Eddie truly wanted. As Loren started to kiss him, he leaned in go deeper making the kiss so much more passionate. Never breaking there kiss, Loren walked backwards to the bed lying down and Eddie was on top of her. He pulled his shirt off, and then started to kiss her neck. Loren let out small moans as Eddie's hands went up her sides to take her shirt off. Loren started to pull Eddie's shorts off, leaving him in only his boxers. Just as things were taking off, they got interrupted once again.

Ian: Thought we were having lunch not desert mate? –He said standing in the door seal laughing-

Eddie: Really dude? –He said as he was pulling his pants back up-

Ian: Close the door next time –Laughing as he was walking away-

Loren: Well I guess we can finish this later… -She said disappointed-

Eddie walked over to the door, closing and locking it this time.

Eddie: Or we can finish now… -Waling back to the bed, starting to kiss Loren-

Loren: No objections from me –Continuing to kiss him-

While Loren and Eddie were "busy in the room", there was a knock at the door. Ian got up to answer it and to his surprise it was Mel. Before she could say anything he quickly gave her a hug. She returned the hug smiling from ear to ear.

Ian: Well hello beautiful!

Mel: Long time no see, how have things been? –She was nervously asking-

Ian: Everything's been really good…even better now that I can see you. I've really missed you Mel. –Grabbing her hands holding them-

Mel: I missed you too…I couldn't stop thinking about you after you left…I just didn't know if you felt the same way.

Ian: Trust me…you are always on my mind…I wish we wasn't so far apart.

*Random Moans*

Mel: Is that… -Pointing to Eddie and Loren's room-

Ian: Yep… -He said laughing-

-Loren and Eddie's room-

They just finished and were laying next to each other wrapped up in one in others arms.

Loren: Was that a good enough wake up call for you Mr. Duran? –She said smiling

And kissing him-

Eddie: That was an amazing wake up call –He pulled her in closer to him and kissed her deeper-

Loren: -Pulling back from the kiss- Okay…we need to start getting ready for lunch!

Eddie: Do we have to?

Loren: Yes we do, so get up.

Eddie and Loren both got up and took a quick shower together, Loren was trying her hardest to resist Eddie as he was trying for a round two. They got out the shower and got dressed. When they walked in the front room they found Ian and Mel having a intence make out session.

Eddie: Well, well, well…

Loren: How cute! –She said smiling-

Eddie: What's going on in here? –He said folding him arms-

Ian: What was going on in there mate? –He said as he and Mel stud from off the sofa-

Eddie: How about we start heading out to get lunch? –He said avoiding answering Ian-

Ian: That's what I thought –He said laughing-

Eddie and Loren walked out hand-in-hand, and so did Ian and Mel. This lunch outing just turned into a double date. This was going to be a good day.
