8.

"Here have a seat Loren." Jake said showing her a chair.

"Did you find the place okay?" Eddie asked softly.

"Yes, thank you, and thank you for the flowers. They were beautiful."

"You are very welcome Loren. It's the least I could do after treating you so horrible last night."

Loren didn't say anything because she felt like it wasn't her business on why he was that way the night before.

She looked up to see Jake sitting down at his desk.

"Okay Loren, this is the plan of what we are going to do. The song you wrote we will have Eddie record."

"I still can't believe you even want the song on your album Eddie."
"It is a beautiful song, but I do think we need to make one change." Eddie said.

"Anything you need to change feel free. It's your song now. I want you to feel comfortable singing it." Loren said.

"I want you to sing it with me."

"Excuse me? What?" Loren asked in disbelief.

"I want you to sing it with me. You have a beautiful voice and the people out there need to hear you."

"Eddie what are you talking about here? She doesn't even have representation to do that." Jake stated.

"You can represent her."

"No I can't. My plate is full right now." Jake answered.

"How about I represent her?" Kelly asks walking into the room.

They all turned to look at her.

"Why would you want to represent me?" Loren asks.

"Loren, from the first time I listen to your voice I knew you would be a star. I really would like the chance to show you I would be good for your career."

Loren looked to Eddie and he smiled and nodded his head.

"Well I'm new at all of this but if Eddy seems to think it would be my best option than what do I have to do to have you represent me." Loren said smiling.

Eddie looked at the smile that lit up Lorens face and he once again felt his heart clinch.

Once they were done filling out paperwork and signing over the rights to the song to Eddie they left to get some lunch before they head over to the MK to start on the video shoot. Eddie was glad that Kelly and Jake were with them, because he really didn't want to be alone with Loren. She made him feel things he wasn't ready to feel. This way he could keep it business like.

He was talking to Jake as Loren was talking to Kelly and this was good. Then when the table was ready Jake automatically escorted Kelly which left him to escort Loren. After he helped her into her seat they all heard a voice that he was definitely not ready to hear.

"Well that was fast Eddie. You treat me like I'm the one fooling around and look at you here with a child."

"Chloe leave now. No one wants you here." Jake said immediately.

"So little girl how long have you been with my fiancee?"

"Chloe, you were never my fiancee. You are only trying to make a scene here so just leave." Eddie said angrily.

"I wasn't talking to you Eddie, I was talking to your little jail bait here."

Standing up Loren said, "If that's the case then first I will inform you I am not jail bait. I am eighteen, thank you. Secondly I met Eddie for the first time last night for business, and lastly you right now are acting like the child, trying to create a scene just so you can light up the gossip magazines. If you were an adult you would ask for a private meeting with Eddie, not bellow everything out to the world."

Chloe was pissed at this girl making her a mockery. She stormed off in anger.

"That was magnificent Loren." Kelly said smiling.

"I just felt as if the truth needed to be said."

"You definitely did that. Thank you." Eddie said.

Loren blushed and sat down in the chair that Eddie was holding out for her. Eddie couldn't help but think how mature Loren was, much more than Chloe by far. As they looked at the menu he couldn't help but wonder how he could have fallen in love with Chloe and then he wondered if he really did or was it all just a mistake.
