Eddie:

Ok so Loren's here, I cannot believe how nervous I am right now. It's Loren; it's the girl I love and the one who can always brighten up my day. She's the one that mom always told me to look out for the one I know mom would approve of in an instant if she was still here. I hope she likes the mixed CD I made; I kept feeling like something was missing but in reality the only thing missing is Loren. I should probably open the door; before she thinks I fell asleep or something.

Eddie: "Hey beautiful, I've missed you."

Loren: "Hey, I've missed you too, that was the longest hour of my life! I can't wait to relax in here with you, speaking of in here why are we standing in the hall?"

Eddie: "Because before you come in you have to close your eyes, I want to show you something."

Loren didn't know what Eddie had up his sleeve but she knew that whatever it was it had to be pretty special. So she did just what he asked. But before he led her into the room he quick put a kiss on her cheek.

Loren: "Ok so if that was the surprise then…"

Eddie: "Will you just be patient for two seconds haha its pretty epic surprise if I say so."

As Eddie said that he opened the door and both were hit hard with the smells coming from the room. Eddie couldn't wait until Loren opened her eyes and saw what he was seeing.

Eddie: "Ok open your eyes."

As Loren opened her eyes she could not believe what she was seeing. Inside Eddie had fully decorated the room with pink, red, and white rose petals and had candles lighting a path from the door to a spot in the middle of the room where he had set up a lovely dinner, but before she could say anything she heard the music; the duet that Eddie and Loren had sung that night at MK was playing she couldn't help but cry as she realized how true the lyrics were for her and Eddie; without music they wouldn't have gotten to know each other or find out that they were meant to be.

Loren: "Eddie, this is…. perfect. How did you plan all of this?"

Eddie: "Well I had some help in that department only a little though. I had your mom make sure you were busy long enough for me to get everything ready. I know it's not your moms delicious cooking but it was the best I could do on short notice."

Loren: "I don't care about the food; all I care about is being able to spend time with you. I love you Eddie."

Eddie knew that Loren truly appreciated everything he did for her; he realized that no matter what happened she would always be there beside him. And he wanted to show her how much he loved her. He couldn't stay away any longer he had to hold her, he had to wipe away the single tear that fell down her cheek as she listened to the song that was playing as well as the other songs that followed. He made sure the songs reflected their relationship. As he wiped away her tear he found his thumb lingering on her cheek as he bent down to express how much she truly meant to him, a feeling that words could not even describe; as they kissed he couldn't have been happier than in that moment.

As they pulled apart Eddie couldn't help the smile that came across his face. He looked down at Loren and saw that same look in her eyes; one of pure happiness and for once he felt complete; as if he could stay in this moment forever. And in order for the night to go completely perfect he pulled out his cell phone and looked at Loren as he shut it off. There was no way he would let anyone ruin this night.

Loren:

I can't believe he did all this for me. I never thought I could love someone so much but Eddie is proving me wrong. I have always been afraid of getting hurt but now I know more than anything that Eddie will never hurt me. I love him so much, and the music he picked for our night; it is truly beautiful it describes our relationship to a tee. I couldn't help but shed a few tears as I listened when I first walked in I heard our duet, a song that holds so much truth for us, and then as I continued to listen I heard songs that kept explaining our relationship he even put "Mars" on there.

Eddie: "So are you ready to eat because I've had to smell this food for the past 25 minutes and it's driving me crazy!"

Loren: "Yea let's eat. I am so hungry who knew you could work up an appetite from running around a stage!" She couldn't help but to laugh as she said the last part because Eddie knew exactly how much energy it took.

While the two lovebirds ate the room was filled with conversation and laughter. It seemed like they never ran out of things to talk about. Loren realized how much she truly missed Eddie. She was able to be herself with him and she knew she could tell him anything and he would listen; it wasn't the same with Mel or her mom even it was a relationship she couldn't even put into words.

Loren: "Eddie this meal is perfect!"

Eddie: "I'm glad you like it, personally I think the company is way better than the food."

With that said he leaned over and kissed Loren, He loved sharing kisses with her and could taste the lasagna on her lips still. As the broke away he said the three little words that always caused Loren's heart to beat faster and make the butterflies in her stomach soar even higher, "I love you."

Loren: "I love you too Eddie. And this definitely makes my top 10 list of favorite evenings."

Eddie: "Oh so you have a list now?"

Loren: "Yep and everyone of them was with you."

Eddie: "Oh really and can I know what they are? Or is it a top secret list that nobody can know about?"

Loren: "Of course you can hear them. 1. Is the night after my concert when you first said I love you. 2. Is tonight, and it isn't even over yet. 3. Is when we first kissed at my house after your birthday dinner. 4. That night on Mulholland. 5. The intense make out session over pastrami sandwiches. 6. Our concert at MK. 7. You holding my hand at your concert. 8. Winning the contest and fainting. 9. Spending the night up at the bungalow. 10. Staying up all night long talking in your penthouse. Of course they may not be in order because not one night trumps the other with you but there they are."

Eddie couldn't believe how happy he was, he kept telling himself that nothing could get better than that moment but every time he told himself that Loren kept proving him wrong. And he was glad that she kept proving him wrong it just made him realize that there wasn't a thing Loren couldn't do.

Eddie: "Wow Loren, I don't know what to say right now; except that you make me happier than any person I have ever been with. And you know I have been in relationships since I was nine." The thought made Eddie laugh as he remembered sitting in his penthouse talking about relationships with Loren. "You Miss Loren Tate are definitely something different; and I am glad you are all mine. Come here I want to show you something."

Loren didn't know what Eddie meant but she was happy that Eddie chose her over anybody else, she loved being able to call him, hers. So she got up and took Eddies hand as he lead her out to the balcony. And stood astonished as she took in the sight unfolding before her. She definitely was not in LA anymore.

Loren: "Eddie, this is unbelievable. And I thought LA was huge!"

Eddie chuckled as he pulled her tight to him. Not allowing even air to get through. He wanted to be able to hold her like this forever, and he could see it too; them in their house looking out on the deck holding hands and laughing as they relived all their memories. He held tighter onto Loren as he placed his chin on her shoulders, he could smell her vanilla shampoo and loved it. He looked at Loren and knew this was where he belonged, forever. But before he could kiss her he heard a light knock on the door.

Eddie: "Loren are you expecting anyone?"

Loren: "No, everyone knows where I am. Are you expecting someone?"

Eddie: "No. But I should probably go see who it is. I'll be right back ok?"

Once Eddie opened the door he immediately wished he hadn't. He wished he could have gone back in time and never had left Loren's side out on the balcony. The one person he hoped he would be able to forget was standing in his doorway.

Eddie: "Lia."
