Chapter 22. Vacation

Eddie had just told Loren that he wanted to do something special for her, so he decided he is going to take her on a surprise trip. He really did start to think about he and Loren's future and where this relationship was going. He loves Loren and knows that she will be by his side through what ever may come there way. When they got back to the penthouse Ian and Mel had already left. Eddie pulled the suite cases out of the hall closet and told Loren to pack weeks worth of clothes. Loren tried he hardest to get a hint out of him to tell her where they were going, but he wasn't breaking. It didn't take Eddie very long to pack, but Loren on the other seemed liked she was packing for a life time. Eddie sat on the bed watching Loren franticly run back and forth from the closet to the suite case. His eyes kept focusing on her body. He loved the way her hair flipped every time she turned around, the way her hips swayed from side to side. To Eddie she was the sexiest thing on this planet. After Loren's third trip or so the closet she started to notice Eddie staring at her butt.

Loren: You know instead of stirring at my butt you could help me out. –She said smiling-

Eddie: What? I am not… -Loren shot him a look- Ok I was but I can't help it your just so sexy –He started to kiss her neck-

Loren: Thank you but I have a lot of packing to do! –She said pulling away from Eddie-

Eddie: Fine…I'm going to go call pop and tell him were leaving tonight. –He said walking out of the room-

Loren: Ok… -Loren went back to packing-

*Eddie walked in the living room and called Max*

Eddie: Hey pop!

Max: Pop who is this pop you speak off? I haven't talked to my son in so long I started to forget I had one!

Eddie: Sorry…I've just been really busy lately

Max: Yea with Loren –He said laughing-

Eddie: Well I just called to tell you I'm taking her on a trip…you know to get her out of the city for a while.

Max: You both could use a vacation…just please take good care of her Eddie

Eddie: Iam Pop…I just hope she has a good time.

Max: Well don't have to much fun that you wont want to come home!

Eddie: I'll try not too…

*Eddie heard a women's voice in the back round*

Eddie: Seems like you have some company?

Max: It's not like that it's just Nora…

Eddie: When did you and Nora start hanging out?

Max: When our kids disowned us!

Eddie: -Laughing- You too better not be having to much fun!

Max: Bye son…have fun.

Eddie: Alright pop…I call you when we make it there.

Eddie walked back in the room to find Loren finally done packing. He gave Loren a small but loving kiss and grabbed there bag bringing them downstairs. Eddie had a car waiting for them that brought them to his privet jet. When getting on the jet, Loren spotted a bouquet of one dozen red roses with a card attached. Eddie looked at her smiling, giving her the go head to read the card. Loren opened the card and it read:

Loren,

You mean more to me then you will ever know. When I felt like love didn't exist, you came out of nowhere and proved me wrong. You are my inspiration and if I would give you the world I would because you deserve it. Our lives have changed in so many ways the last few months and will only continue too. You are about to make a huge name for yourself Loren Tate, but I just want you to know I will be hear for you every step of the way. I love you so much Loren I could write a million songs about it and still not fully express my love for you. This much needed get away hopefully will be the best vacation you have ever had. After you read this letter look under your seat.

— Love, Eddie

Loren looked under her seat and found a flat blue jewelry box with silver ribbon tied around it. When she opened it, it was a silver heart shaped necklace with the words You Have My Heartin scripted on the back. Loren started to tear up as Eddie placed the necklace around her neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him soft as he pulled her in closer returning the kiss. The flight to there secret destination was fun and productive. Eddie had fallen asleep, so Loren picked up his guitar and started to write some songs. Just as she was Eddie's muse he was hers. She didn't have her song book, but saw Eddie's sticking out of his bag. She figured he wouldn't mind if she wrote in it. When she opened the book she saw the songs she wrote when she first gave it to him. That really made her smile. Then she saw the songs she saw he had been working on. All of the songs she saw in the book she recognized them from him singing them, all except one. On the last page he wrote in the heading said and the words that followed touched her heart.

"My Loren"

I'm here for you no matter the time of place,

Can't stand waking up and not seeing your face.

Fight for you in the storming rain,

risk myself getting hurt just to save you from the pain.

I want you here with me for the rest of my life,

With the hopes of someday calling you my wife.

He didn't finish the song, but she could tell it was coming from his heart. Eddie started to wake up so she slid his song book back in his bag. She continued to play just as the pilot said the plane was landing. Loren looked outside the window and saw the beautiful blue sea and white sandy beach. She was shocked that Eddie had planed such an amazing trip to the Bahamas. Eddie and Loren arrived at the hotel, being greeted by tons of fans. Loren didn't realize people outside of California knew who she was. Eddie took Loren by the hand and took her up stairs to their room. As Loren expected the room was beautiful.

Loren: Eddie, this is amazing!

Eddie: Anything for you –He pulled her in close and kissed her soft-

Loren: Eddie I told you already, I'm happy with the way things are. Your way pass the point where you have to try and impress me –She said laughing-

Eddie: If I wanted to impress you a small trip to the Bahamas wouldn't be the way I would do it.

Loren: Well isn't someone being quite the showoff.

Eddie: Just saying –He started laughing-

Loren: Eddie?

Eddie: Yea?

Loren: This is perfect…everything you do for me is perfect…why?

Eddie: What do you mean why?

Loren: Why do you do the things you do?

Eddie: Easy…because I love you Loren! –He said looking into her eyes-

Loren: Out of all the beautiful women in this world…you chose to fall for me? I'm just Loren Tate like this kind of stuff doesn't happen to me. It just seems like something that would happen in a fair tale…is this to good to be true?

Eddie: Loren, I could say the same thing…you had the chance to be with someone at your school, who you would be able to go to the movies with…eat out at a regular resterant with out worrying about being trampled over by fans and paparazzi. Yea I'm "Eddie Duran" but I know for a fact if my career would be over tomorrow you would still be there for me. That's why I love you.

Loren: I know all that Eddie but…

Eddie: No buts…-He said sitting her down on sofa closest to the window- Loren when I first met you I knew there was something special about you. The night you won the concert, when you were performing, I saw this spark in you that lit something in me. All the times we just "hung out" I always wished you would make the first move because honestly I was scared too. You gave me a notebook for my birthday Loren and that was the best gift I felt like I got because of the thought behind it. You make me see the same things in life that I feel like I've missed out on. You give me a reason to want to branch out and continue to find myself. I love you Loren because you are you!

Loren: Do you mean all of that?

Eddie: More then you will ever know…so I don't want to ever hear you question our relationship Lo. Ok?

Loren: Ok…and Eddie?

Eddie: Yes?

Loren: I love you too!

Eddie: Well I have a lot planed for you Ms. Tate and we have no time to waist so if you will, go in the room and you will find something waiting for you. –He said smiling leading her to the room-

Loren: What is all this?

Eddie had dresses from different designers sent over to the hotel for Loren. He wanted her to feel special and knew just the ways to do it. He had a amazing evening planed for them, and couldn't wait for it to get started.
