Loren, Eddie, Mel, and Ian went to rumor for a nice lunch. Of course Eddie wasn't going to let what he saw go on between Mel and Ian go that easy; he needed to get to the bottom of this. It was killing Mel not to bring up what she heard, but she was so happy to be with Ian, she slowly let it slip her mind for now. Loren was so happy for Mel and Ian even though she wasn't sure of the status of there relationship. Ian wasn't to sure yet either, but he was going to make sure that he found out.
*At Rumor*
Eddie: So…Mel…Ian
Them Both: Yes?
Eddie: What's up –He said smiling folding his arms-
Ian: Are you really getting back on the subject mate?
Eddie: Umm…yea!
Mel: What do you want to know Duran? –She said laughing at Eddie's enthusiasm-
Eddie: When did all of "this" start going on?
Ian: Last time I came in town I ran into Mel at electronics' store, I was looking for a lens for my new camera. She was staring at me like I was a pair of shoes on sale. To keep her from wetting herself we exchanged numbers, hit off, and here we are. –He said smiling-
Loren: How romantic –She said sarcastically-
Mel: It didn't happen like that –She said nudging Ian-
Loren: Well what did happen?
Mel: Well I did run into him at the store, well more like he ran into me. I was walking to the casher when some guy literally ran into me.
Ian: I was in a rush –He said smiling-
Mel: When I realized it was Ian I reminded him who I was because I'm pretty sure he didn't remember me from the house party.
Ian: How could I forget a beautiful face like yours –He said kissing her on the cheek-
Mel: -Blushing- Well after that he treated me to lunch, which was really nice, and then we took a walk on the beach for awhile. We talked for what seemed like hours, well I talked. After that he gave me his number and we just kept in touch.
Eddie: You kept in touch alright –He said smiling-
Loren: -Kicking Eddie under the table- It was a good story! I'm so happy for you guys…you are together now right?
Ian: That's up to your mate…are we? –He said looking at Mel-
Mel: Yea I guess we are together! –She said as she kissed Ian soft-
Eddie: Get a room!
Mel: So we could be doing whatever you and Lo were doing?
Loren: Mel!
Eddie: Maybe? –He said laughing-
Loren: Eddie!
Everyone was at the table laughing at how read in the face Loren was turning. There food came and for once they ate peacefully without the interruptions of the paparazzi, Chloe, or Tyler. It was perfect! The couples headed back to Eddie's place for a move night. Mel moved into her own apartment after graduation so she wouldn't have to deal with Lisa as much as she already did. She stopped over there to get some overnight cloths because Ian wanted her to stay the night with him. Eddie didn't have a problem with it because he loved seeing his friend happy. He had never seen Ian so head over hills for a girl in his life. Ian was the type of guy that would "smash and pass", but with Mel he could tell it was different. Loren and Mel talked the guys into watching The Note Book, promising it would be really good. Eddie and Loren cuddled on the sofa while Mel and Ian did the same on the floor. Just as the move was starting to get good, there was a knock at the door. Eddie got up first to get it, anything to get him away from the movie. Jake was at the door.
Eddie: Hey Jake, what's up? –Wondering why he was here-
Jake: Hey Ed…well the baby just came home yesterday and I wanted to introduce him to his uncle Eddie –He said bringing the baby inside-
Ian: Well hello Jake… -Ian was still pissed at the whole situation-
Jake: Sup Ian?
Mel: -Whispering to Loren- Isn't that Chloe's…
Loren: Yep…
Mel: Well where is she?
Just as she said that Chloe came walking in with the dipper bag.
Chloe: Jake you should have waited for me…Hey Eddie, Ian…Kids?
Mel: I'll show you kid! –She said under her breath-
Eddie: Chloe please don't start.
Chloe: Look Eddie, we just come here for you to see the baby…that's all.
Eddie could tell it would mean a lot to Jake if he took some interest in the baby. He was still a little upset with Jake, but Jake is like his brother, so he put his pride aside and started to hold that baby.
Eddie: -Picking up the baby- Hey little guy! I'm your uncle Ed… Jake his beautiful man.
Jake: Thank you…Loren, Mel…do you want to come see him.
Loren and Mel: Of Corse…
Loren and Mel walked over to Eddie as he was holding the baby. Loren loved that Eddie put all of this aside and was trying to fix his and Jakes friendship. She saw how Jake's face lit up when Eddie said "Uncle Ed", Loren couldn't help but smile. Eddie started to talk to the baby, saying how he was going to teach him how to play the guitar and piano, close out concerts, and get over on Jake. Loren could tell that if Eddie and her relationship made it to the point kids came into play, he would be the best dad he could possibly be. Chloe was happy her plan was starting to work. As long as she was with Jake and the baby, Eddie didn't seem to care that she would be around. This would play into her advantage very well.
Loren: Seems like someone is getting really attached –She said laughing at Eddie-
Ian: You better watch out Loren, at the rate things were going this morning, you two are going to have little rock stars running all around here. –He said laughing-
Eddie: Dude!
Mel: Well he does have a point Lo –She said smiling hard-
Loren: Mel! –She said embarrassed-
Chloe: Kids having kids? That wouldn't be such a bright idea…
Loren: Chloe no one was talking to you!
Chloe: But I'm talking to you little girl!
Ian: Ladies, Ladies relax!
Chloe: Why don't you kids go to sleep –Folding her arms, looking at Loren and Mel-its past your bedtime isn't it?
Eddie: Chloe you need to stop!
Chloe: I'm just looking out for her…she could use all the beauty sleep she can get.
Mel: That's it! You tall, cold hearted, blond headed bit… -Being cut off by Ian as he covered her mouth-
Ian: Ok this is getting out of hand…Chloe why do you have to be so bitchy? Mommy didn't hug you enough as a kid? –He said sarcastically-
Jake: Ian, don't talk to her like!
Ian: Come on mate…what the hell you see in her…she slept with half of L.A.
Jake: Don't you dare talk about my fiancé' like that Ian! You don't know a thing about her!
Eddie: Hold on! You're what?
Jake: That's the other reason I came over…I wanted to tell you I asked Chloe to marry me.
Chloe: And I said yes! –She said waving her hand in front of Eddies face trying to get a reaction out of him-
Eddie, Loren, Mel, and Ian were shocked at the news Jake just dropped on them. Ian walked over to Eddie's liquor cabinet and took a shot, Loren and Mel stud looking at Jake like he has lost his mind, and Eddie was surprisingly smiling.
Eddie: Congrats Man! –He said hugging Jake-
Chloe was in utter shocked…she didn't want Eddie to be happy; she wanted him to be furious! Without realizing it she screamed out…
Chloe: What!
