4.
Loren was so nervous. Her best friend chose the most fabulous outfit and she looked in the mirror and was happy. She felt good. The best part of all of this was she was going to get to meet her idol, Eddie Duran. She has sang for him in her room so many times, she was just worried that she wouldn't be able to sing in public. She never has before besides around her friends.
"Come on Loren, we need to go or we will be late." she heard her mom call out.
"I'm coming." she said and after picking up her bag she walked out to meet them.
"What are you doing with that camera?" she asked Melissa.
"I am going to record you becoming a star Loren Tate."
Loren giggled, "well let's hope they like me as much as you do."
"Oh never fear, they are going to love you."
Then they all headed out.
Eddie was dressed and was ready to leave his penthouse when he heard a knock on the door.
"Chloe, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Please Eddie, let me explain."
"What's there to explain? I caught you having sex with Tyler Rourke. You know it would have been bad enough if it had been any man, but for it to be Tyler Rourke, well that's something you can never explain. We are done Chloe. Stay out of my life." he yells and slams the door in her face. He then decides to go out the back way so he doesn't have to see her.
He walks into the club and he sees his best friend Ian. "Hey you, what brings you to town?"
"You. Your dad called and said you needed me so I'm here."
"Thank you. I think I need to listen to my dad more often. So where is she?"
"Who?"
"Whoever you have on your arm tonight."
"Don't have one. Decided to do this solo mate." Ian said laughing.
"You without a woman on your arm. That is so surprising."
"Yeah, well I'm getting tired of the same old shit."
"Wow, I don't know if I can keep up with all these shocks in my life." Eddie says laughing.
"I'm sorry about the Chloe disaster. But you are well rid of her."
"That I am. I think I finally understand why you always had your one nighters. I think that is what I need to do for awhile."
"No man, that's just not you."
"We'll see. Look man I have to go for now but I will be back. Enjoy the show."
"Thanks mate." he says as he takes a sip of his drink.
The girls walk into the club and the excitement in the air is thrilling. They see Max and go over in that direction.
"Hey ladies. Welcome."
"I just want to thank you."
"For?"
"For getting him to listen to her song." Nora says blushing.
"She deserved it. When we heard it we were in awe."
"How can I thank you?"
"Well maybe we can discuss that blush some day." Max says flirting with her.
Nora turned beet red once again.
Max turns to Loren, "Are you Loren?"
"Yes."
"You need to go see that man right there." he says pointing to Jake.
"Thank you."
Max turns back to the others. "Would you like a drink?"
"Sure a glass of red wine." Nora says
Adrian asks for white wine. Melissa spots a very sexy man at the bar and decides the get her drink.
"So, I'm Melissa and I will allow you to buy me a drink but remember it is not going to lead to your bed tonight."
"Um.. so why would I buy you a drink?" Ian asks amused and interested in this beautiful woman.
"Because I know that you like me and think I'm interesting so how about it?"
Ian nods to the barmaid and allows Melissa to order a drink on him.
"So you said your name is Melissa?"
"Yeah, but my friends call me Mel."
"So since I bought you a drink can I too call you Mel?"
"Maybe after the second drink. So what's your name?"
"Ian."
"Ian? So a sexy name for a very sexy man." she says flirting outrageously with him.
"You think I'm sexy?" he asks flirting right back.
"Yeah, and you know it. Just like I know I am."
"You definitely are Melissa."
"You know I think you should call me Mel, or any other sexy name you would like to call me."
"Sprite."
"That's not sexy."
"It is when you are thinking what I mean by it."
"Oh do tell."
"I think I will wait on the second drink."
Melissa looked up at this mans eyes and got lost in them.
Ian felt like something just slammed into him, but he loved it. He wanted to find out all about this girl.
