You have a beautiful family, this one Tyler, I met him in a brief, but I have not met him (pointing to Eddie) but he looks familiar.
Yeah, he is in all the magazines in LA.
Ladies, we are ready so whenever you are ready let us know. Max said.
But the boys are not here yet.
Oh yeah, we are here. Eddie said.
Loren turned around to look at who was talking and she fainted.
Katy was quick to catch Loren before she hit the floor and Eddie, Tyler, Max and Jake ran towards Katy and helped her puts Loren in the sofa.
What just happen to her, Eddie asked looking to everyone's face.
Loren please wake up, Max do something. Katy said while shaking Loren to wake her up.
Did she complain about not feeling good today? Max asked Jake
No she didn't, but I could see she wasn't her usual self today, it seems like something was bothering her. You know, maybe family problems. Jake answered.
Tyler, call doctor Masters, Katy said.
He travelled last week, he will not be here till Friday. Tyler said
Call somebody, anybody at the office and ask what we can do. Katy said worried.
Eddie came with a wet washcloth and put it on Loren's forehand, held her hand and started rubbing it and said, it is all my fault, Loren please wake and I will explain everything to you. They all looked at Eddie like he has three heads.
What are you talking about Eddie? Loren doesn't even know you. Katy said lifting Loren's head, sit and put Loren's head on her lap.
Eddie lifted his head slowly and look at his mom, she don't know me as Eddie Duran.
What are you talking about, Katy asked
It's a long story; Loren and I have met but not like Eddie Duran the rich guy. Just forget it, I will tell you later. Let's find a way of waking her up first. Eddie continued messaging Loren's hands and what seems like 20 minutes later, she begun to wake up.
Thank God you wake up Loren, Katy said helping Loren to sit up.
What happen? Did I faint?
Yes you did, are you hungry or something, there anything I can offer you? Katy asked
No, I am ok, just embarrassed.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about; some situations you can't prevent it.
But I could have prevented this one.
What do you mean by that? Is there something you are telling us? Jake said.
Loren shakes her head no and said it is just family problem. I will get through it. Please Mr. Madison, don't fire me, I need this job.
Loren dear, he will not fire you, but if you wonna talk about it maybe we could help.
Thanks Mrs. Duran, but I can handle it myself. Can we please continue with the meeting?
No Loren, I think you need to take the day off and take some rest and come to work tomorrow you look so tired. Jake said.
No, Mr. Madison I am fine.
All this time Eddie was standing there quietly just looking at Loren who was also trying very hard not to look at Eddie.
Eddie went closer to Loren and asked, her if she was ok.
Loren, Eddie called
Yes Mr. Duran,
Please call me Eddie, even my dad don't want people to call him Mr. Duran.
What are you talking about? Are you tying to say I am an old man?
No pop, Eddie said and both Tyler and Eddie started laughing. Putting all jokes aside Loren; can I talk to you privately?
I don't think it's a good idea Mr. Duran, we are here for a meeting and if there is anything you want to talk about, we are all here to put ideas together.
Loren, can you please stop calling me Mr. Duran? Eddie said and then looked at his parents then Jake. Is it ok if I talk to Loren in private please?
It is ok son, go ahead take all the time you want, and we can reschedule the meeting for another time.
Then I think our work here is done Mr. Madison, Loren said looking at Jake. Can we go now?
What do you want to talk to her about in private; we all here as a family and looking at things, you two haven't met.
Hi Tyler,
Hi Loren, what happen the last time I saw you, I was hoping to see you again. Still beautiful, I wishing to have diner with you, when are we going to have diner?
I will think about it.
Hey we are still here. Eddie said in an annoying tone.
Do you think we are blind that we can't you see you guys? I am trying to go out with this beautiful lady and you are here interrupting.
Loren, we need to talk and I want us to talk right now. Eddie said and pulls Loren with him into the inner room.
What is wrong you? First you insulted my boyfriend and then you made my sister threw me out of her house. Now you want me to lose my job? Mr. Eddie Duran.
What? Your sister threw you out of her house and you didn't tell me? Where are you living right now?
That is none of your business.
Yes it is my business and you are going to tell me where you are living or whom you are living with other wise I will go with you to see where you live.
Ha-ha, so all of a sudden you have become a caring gentleman wanted to about where I live? You know my sister right? Go and ask her. Loren started to leave the room but Eddie got hold of her arm and pulled her back.
Where do you think you are going?
Back to the office so I can finish what I started that is what is going pay my bills.
I will pay the bills for you; just tell me where you are now staying please. He said with a sad face and touched Loren's face with the other free hand.
Oh, so now you are the caring Eddie Duran who was a jerk on the phone harassing my life. You've got what you looking for so please let me go. I can take care of myself and even if Mr. Madison fire me, I don't care I will not fall in love with a two faces guy. Loren said with tears in her eyes.
I am sorry Loren, if you can give me time to explain, I will do so please.
Tears running down her chin she shakes her head, no, there are no time for you to explain anything. You had three months to tell me who you are but no, you chose to keep lying to me. For three good months, I suffered in the hands of my friend and sister because of you. Now I am homeless because of you and I am going to lose my job because of you. Please stay away from me and never try following me anywhere because I will not hesitant in filing restrain order or sue you for harassment. Loren said and left the room leaving Eddie speechless.
When she opens the door, all the three men including Katy rushed into the room, meaning they were ear dropping. With embarrassment on their faces, Loren looked at Jake and said do you still want me to take the rest of the day off?
Yes Loren, you can and don't hesitant to call me if you need anything.
Katy went and hugged her and whispered into her ear, please give him time to explain because I also want to know what happen and if you want anyone to talk to, I will be there. She then gave Loren her complemented card.
Thanks Mrs. Duran
Please call me Katy as I told already, Mrs. Duran makes me look old.
Ok Katy. Bye everyone, and nice to meet you Mr. Duran.
Bye Loren, hope to see you soon.
Ten minutes after Loren left, Eddie came out to meet a pair of eight eyes looking at him.
What are you standing here for, go after her. Jake said
What? She is already gone.
No, she is not,
How do you know?
Because I drove her here and she don't have a ride home, she would be still standing out there waiting for a carb to pick her up. Now is your chance to explain everything to her. Jake said
And remember you need to explain it to us too. Max added.
Where did you meet her? She did not seem to know you. Tyler asked.
I will tell you all after I settle this situation.
Go get her son, Katy said with a big smile on her face. She is a good girl.
How did you know mom? Tyler asked
There are something's that women know about that men don't.
Loren left the office and run as quickly as possible to the parking lot. There she remembered that she came with Jake and she doesn't have any money to take a carb.
Oh yeah, now is the time to call Andre. Loren picked up her phone and about to call Andre when someone touched her shoulder. Loren turned only to see Eddie standing there.
Don't bother calling for a carb, I will drop you to wherever you want to go.
No I am ok, my boyfriend the carb driver will come and pick me up.
Why are you doing this Loren?
What am I doing? I don't want to my boyfriend to think that I am cheating on him with you so please stay away from me. Loren dialed Andre's number and Eddie's phone started ringing. Eddie picks it up.
Hello
Andre, this is Loren, can you come and pick me up.
I am right here Eddie said and hanged up the phone. Loren please doesn't let us do this.
While they were talking, Tyler came out and see Loren and Eddie still standing by Eddie's car talking.
Hey Loren, do you need a ride home?
Yes Tyler, can you offer me one?
I will be honored to take such a beautiful lady home. I hope you don't mind if I pass by my house before taking you home.
That would not be a problem at all. Bye Eddie, it is nice meeting you and thank you for offering to give me a ride maybe another time.
Loren went and get into Tyler's car and they drove off leaving Eddie standing and looking behind them.
What the hell just happened? Did I just let Tyler took my girlfriend from me? Eddie said and took his phone out and dialed Loren's number.
Where are you Loren? Please tell me where you are so we can talk. I am begging you.
Oh if you want to know, I am with Tyler having diner. Your brother is so caring and honest.
What? Are you nut? Loren, I am your boyfriend and
Hahahaha, you are not my boyfriend, Andre is and he is nowhere to be found so please leave me alone.
Please Loren don't do this to me. Please just let me explain it to you. Tell me where you are and I will come so we can talk.
Not now Mr. playboy, I am busy having diner with your brother and who knows what will happen afterwards. Bye Eddie your brother is coming back and I don't you to disturb our lovely diner. Have a nice evening.
Is that Eddie? Tyler asked.
Loren, where are you? I need you to tell me right now. Eddie said angrily.
You can't tell me what to do. With that Loren hanged up the phone.
I am going to kill the good for nothing brother of mine. Eddie said and head to his parents mansion.
What are you doing here Eddie? I thought you are with Loren. Katy asked Eddie who foaming with angry.
That stupid son of yours is out with the love of my life and she is refusing to talk to me. Mom, I am hurting and angry. Eddie said with tears in his eyes.
Do you love her that much?
Yes I do mom, I just want her to give me a little of her time so I can explain why I did not introduce myself to her as Eddie Duran, but she is being stubborn.
Give her sometime to claim down and she will be ok to talk to. I can see that she loves you too. She is just hurting.
Thanks mom. Eddie left and went to look for Loren but couldn't find either Tyler or Loren. They were not even in Tyler's house. Tyler was not picking up his phone when Eddie tries to call him. Loren was not picking hers either. Eddie went home and comforted himself with a bottle of whiskey.
He called Loren again and she did not picked up. Where the hell is she? Eddie said throwing his phone to the wall, which scattered in several pieces.
Tyler and Loren have just finished having dinner and are in Tyler's car.
Loren, I really like you and want us to start a healthy relationship, I can provide everything that you want for you. You can even stay home and will provide for you. What do you say?
TYLER! I was going out with your brother, we just had our first fight and here you are trying to take me away from him. No I can't go out with two brothers.
He lied to you Loren, I will never do such thing to a beautiful lady like you.
I don't think it is a good idea Tyler.
To tell you the truth, my brother has a fiancé that they are going to marry pretty soon.
Is that the reason he did not tell me his real name? Loren tried so hard to hold the tears that are fight their way out. Are you telling me the truth or because you want me you are lying about your brother.
Loren, I will never lie to you.
The tears just run freely on Loren's face and she never bother to wipe it off. Thanks Tyler, you can stop here.
I'm sorry if telling you the truth hurt, but I don't want you to regret falling in love with someone who already has a wife. Call me when you need me.
Thanks Tyler.
