Eddie was the first to wake up that morning, and he saw that Loren was still lying in his arms fast asleep. He couldn't imagine a different way to wake up, and he truly felt at peace knowing that nothing could come between them now. Eddie was careful as he got up out of the bed to not wake Loren; he wanted to take her out for lunch before they had to leave so as he got up he grabbed a change of clothes and headed to take a shower, careful not to make too much noise as to wake Loren up.

Loren woke up and found herself alone in the bed; she didn't worry though she could hear the shower running so she already knew where Eddie was. What she didn't know is who was knocking at the door. So she decided that she would get up and see who could be knocking at 7 in the morning; she knew it had to be important if they were there that early. So as she opened it she wasn't surprised to find Kelly standing there.

Loren: "Hey Kelly whats up? I thought you said the flight doesn't leave until 2?"

Kelly: "Good morning super star, yea the flight is still scheduled to leave at 2 I just want to run a few things with you before then, and I figured we could get a head start just in case you and Eddie want to do something before we leave."

Loren: "Oh ok sounds good, yea I would like to walk around I've never been here before so it would be really cool if I could see all the sights I can before we leave."

Kelly walks in and places her tablet down on the table and goes into the mini fridge to take out two waters for her and Loren. When she comes to sit down she notices how nervous Loren seems.

Kelly: "Loren don't get all tense on me, we just have to schedule times for you to hit the recording studio and start planning your tour stuff like that."

Loren: "And it has to be done at 7? Whatever you say you're the manager."

Kelly: "Ok so first off have you gotten any other songs written?"

Loren: "I have a few started just they aren't even close to being done; all I have written is the chorus and that still isn't finished. I have to tweak a couple words here and there."

Kelly: "Ok but you've started them that's all I care about. We do have to schedule time for you in the studio to finalize Mars and I'm Alive. Then we can hopefully work on the other songs, that is if you have them written by then, which I'm not going to rush you; just keep me informed on how far you've gotten ok?"

Loren: "Kelly you will always remain in the loop. Do you need me there to finalize the music? Or not, because the only arrangements I have for those songs is on keyboard and guitar. I liked the way we had it arranged for the concert, so just go from there."

Kelly: "Well that was the plan, we already had the band come in and work on it. So the first time I want you to sing it without the music, well maybe just acoustic guitar and then we can re-do it all with the music. Sound good?"

Loren: "Yea it sounds great to me, are we going to do that with just that song?"

Kelly: "Well it depends on what else you have by the end of it. We don't want to overdo it quite yet with the acoustic sound. Then if we want we can still release an acoustic album if that's the direction you want to go in."

Loren: "I definitely have no idea what I want right now. That is too far in the future for me to decide on. Anyways what else did you want to discuss?"

Kelly: "Well I would like for you to have more exposure so I was thinking you could do a talk show with whoever you want and then maybe give a performance if you want. Just so you can talk about your exciting life!"

Kelly laughed as she said the last part, she knew just how much work Loren would have to do in order to live this life but she never doubted for a second that Loren couldn't do it.

As soon as Kelly left the room Loren felt different; it was like all the work she would have to do was finally hitting her. She didn't realize how long she had been thinking until she felt Eddie's arms snake around her waist.

Eddie: "Hey beautiful, you ok?"

Loren: "Hey to you, yea I'm ok just thinking. Kelly just left we had a nice little chat about my career but I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. She said she wasn't going to rush me to get new songs out but I know she wants them ASAP and she was talking about planning an interview. Eddie this is all hitting me at once. I really won't have time for my old life will I?"

Eddie: "You will just not all parts of it. The privacy is completely shot so don't be surprised if you see a picture of you eating chips or something like that. But don't worry I'll be by your side the whole time."

And she knew he meant it; having Eddie there with her every step of the way made it easier to go along with this. She also knew that she had Mel, Max, Kelly, Jake and her mom with her the entire way; there was nothing she wouldn't be able to accomplish.

Loren: "So now that I have my meeting out of the way, I'm going to go get dressed unless we aren't going out on the town. If that's the case I'm gonna slum it in pajama pants all day long."

Eddie: "Well we are going out, I want you to have fun today so I've arranged a car to come pick us up at 10 so we can sight see for a little bit and then go to lunch. We should have plenty of time to get back. So no worries there, I do want to take you somewhere though. But you're going to have to wait and find out."

Loren: "Fine, but I really dislike surprises. I'm going to go get ready, if you want the room service menu is on the counter. I want a tea please!"

Eddie laughed at Loren's face, he knew she was never a fan of surprises but he felt like this was one he needed to keep to himself. He knew she would love it immediately; it was definitely one of his favorite places to go. He just had to make a few calls to make sure that nobody would be there. He wanted to be alone with Loren today, especially for what he wanted to show her.


Loren:

Ok so I have no idea what this surprise is going to be, I've been trying to figure out what it could be but I'm at a disadvantage I've never been in New York before so I could be just about anything I guess. Hmm but if I know Eddie it will be something that has some importance in his life. I just wish he would've given me a hint, not that it would have helped anyways. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient and wait. I still can't believe the talk I had with Kelly this morning it's not that I didn't expect it to come up so soon but why didn't she just bring it up when we got back to LA. Oh well the only thing I can do now is allow myself to fully surrender to Eddie and his surprise.

Eddie: "Hey you ok? You look distraught."

Loren: "Yea I'm fine just replaying everything in my head again. I'm really trying to figure out what your surprise is but I'm not having any luck with it, of course I'm at a disadvantage I've never been here before. So not fair!"

Eddie: "Mwahahaha that's why you love me, I never play fair."

Eddie leaned into kiss her and as he did so he tied a bandana around her eyes so she couldn't see anything, as they were approaching their destination.

Loren: "Is this like the movies where the bad guys kidnap someone and when they find a phone they have no idea where they are, so the cops can't find them?"

Eddie laughed at Loren's assumption.

Eddie: "Why would I have to kidnap you Miss Loren Tate? I already have you. And I don't see that changing any time soon do you?"

Loren: "Nope, you won't be getting rid of me that easy Duran. You're stuck with me."

Eddie: "And that's exactly how I want it. Now you can't see anything right?"

Loren: "This is definitely just like the movies. And no I can't see anything."

Eddie: "Good."

5 minutes later they pulled up in front of the surprise Eddie had. He called while Loren was getting ready to make sure the place would be empty and that nobody would be around, what he was about to do was not something he wanted everyone to know about.

Eddie: "Ok Loren you can take your blindfold off now."

Loren did as she was told and couldn't believe what she was seeing. It made sense as to why Eddie wanted it to be a surprise. She knew The Victory Theater had to have some important significance in Eddie's life and she thought that it probably was something he and Katy did.

Loren: "Eddie this is amazing! Can we go inside now?"

Eddie: "Yea sure thing this is only part one of the surprise."

Loren: "You mean there's more!"

Eddie chuckled as he said, "Of course there's more. I wouldn't just bring you to an empty theater for nothing."

Loren: "Is it a new song?"

Eddie: "Yea I want you to hear it, c'mon let's head inside before paparazzi catch us chilling outside."

Eddie had told the driver to come back in an hour so him and Loren could just relax and be with each other without worrying about someone finding them. As he lead her inside he knew was taking it all in as they went. He let go of her hand to make sure everything was set up on the stage. He got up and saw Loren looking at all the seats in the theater, he remembered coming here with his mom to see a play when he was 6.

Loren: "Eddie this place is huge! But it's so beautiful, did you come here with your parents?"

Eddie: "Mom brought me here when I was 6. We came to see a play that I had never heard of before, and honestly I still don't remember what it's called. All I cared about was I finally got time to be with my mom all by myself. Dad didn't want to come he was tired from earlier in the day so he told us to go. I'm not quite sure if he was actually tired or if he just wanted me to be able to hang out with mom before their concert the next day."

Loren: "Well either way, you got to have fun with your mom. I really wish I could have met her Eddie."

Eddie: "I wish you could have met her too. She really would have liked you, you kind of remind me of her; she always worked hard for what she wanted in life."

Loren: "Yea, but Eddie you know she loved you so much."

Eddie: "She would always tell me she loved me, and I would always say it back. Anyways let's not talk about that; I want to play you something I was working on before; I never thought of playing it for you; I never fully understood what was going on with us but now I'm glad we are where we are."

Loren: "So am I."

Eddie grabbed a hold of Loren's hand and led her up to the stage where the piano was set up. As he pulled her up she took a quick look out and gasped at how many seats there were and exactly how big the theater was.

Eddie: "So I finished this a while ago like I told you but it just took meaning to me just recently. But I already told you that; I don't think I've ever been so nervous to play a song before."

Loren: "I'm sure it's a great song, you shouldn't be nervous it's just me."

Eddie: "You Miss Loren Tate make me nervous all the time. And I have no clue how or why."

Eddie sat down at the piano bench and motioned for Loren to join him, she flashbacked to that day in Eddie's apartment where they worked on Mars together.

Eddie: "Ok so here we go."

As Eddie played the intro and Loren was hooked from the beginning.

I've been jumping from the tops of buildings.

For the thrill of the fall.

Ignoring sound advice.

And any thought of consequence.

My bones are shattered.

My pride is shattered.

And in the midst of this self-inflicted pain.

I can see my beautiful rescue.

Eddie looked at Loren as he sang the chorus and saw the bright smile on her face that he never wanted to leave.

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word I withhold.

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word you say.

I'm falling head-over-heels for you.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings.

At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song.

Don't you leave me alone.

My bones were shattered.

My pride lays shattered.

Well I'll trample my pride and tell the whole world.

To dance with me.

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word I withhold.

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word you say.

I'm falling head-over-heels for you again.

I'm crying out.

"Wash my hands, these bloody hands Lord. Open my mouth and I'll sing."

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word I withhold.

I'm falling more in love.

With every single word you say.

I'm falling head-over-heels for you.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings.

With you.


Eddie: "So what did you think?"

Loren: "Eddie; that song was…words can't even describe what that song was."

Eddie: "So is that a good thing?"

Loren: "It's a great thing. Are you going to record that song?"

Eddie: "I'm not sure, I don't know where I stand right now in the label."

Loren: "Well I want a copy of that song. So you have to record it even if you don't put it on your CD."

Eddie: "Well then, I guess I'm recording it."

Loren: "What's the name of the song?"

Eddie: "My Beautiful Rescue."

Eddie looked at Loren and hoped she got the hint. When he called it off with Chloe his heart was shattered so was his pride; she truly stripped him of everything but when he met Loren and started to hang out with her more often he knew that he would be ok. He never thought he would fall in love again so quickly but she proved him wrong.

Loren smiled at Eddie and fully understood why he played that song for her. It was about him and what Chloe had done to him and how she came and helped him get back to where he wanted to be.

As they leaned in to kiss Eddie's phone went off.

Eddie grumbled: "This had better be important to ruin a moment like this."

Loren couldn't help but laugh at how frustrated Eddie was.

Eddie looked at his phone and saw that it was his dad.

Eddie: "Hey pops, there better be a damn good reason why you're calling me right now. Totally just ruined a moment for me."

Max: "Oh sorry how was I suppose to know? Anyways Jake wanted me to call you since he can't get a hold of you to tell you when we get back to LA the label wants to sit down with you and discuss what's going to happen next."

Eddie: "And Jake couldn't wait to tell me that on the plane?"

Max: "Well Jake isn't flying back with us today; he's going to fly out later today just not with us. He has other things to take care of if you know what I mean."

Eddie knew he was referring to Lia and Jeremy and honestly Eddie was happy they wanted to sign them in New York; he wouldn't have to worry about Lia randomly showing up.

Eddie: "Ok pops well I have to go, Loren and I need to head out so we can get a quick bite to eat."

Max: "Ok son be careful you know how crazy it is here."

Eddie: "Yea I do, see you soon bye pops."

Max: "Bye bud."

Eddie looked at Loren hopeful to resume what was going to happen before he answered his phone.

Loren: "C'mon rock star we have to get going; we can finish this later."

Eddie gave Loren the puppy dog eyes and realized it was working until Loren took off down the aisle.

Loren: "Last one to the car is a baby!"

Eddie jumped off the stage and sprinted to the door, but it was too late Loren had already beat him there.

Eddie: "Well it seems as if I'm the baby and you know what babies need right?"

Loren: "A diaper change hahahaha"

Eddie: "Haha no they need love and affection I guess you're stuck."

Eddie pulled Loren to him; Loren let out a squeal but then surrendered to Eddie.

Loren: "I don't mind being stuck anywhere as long as you're there too."

Eddie: "I love you."

Loren: "I love you too; now will you just shut up and kiss me already."

Eddie couldn't help but chuckle at Loren; he brushed a piece of hair from her face and cupped her cheek as he bent down to press his lips to hers. Loren brought her arms around Eddie's neck and pulled him closer to her, he never wanted to stop kissing her but he knew they needed to head out.

Eddie: "As much as I want to continue this we need to head out."

Loren: "Fine but we will definitely continue this later."

Eddie knew he was in trouble, he never wanted to stop his brain was telling him one thing and his heart was telling him other things. He was at war with himself to go slow with Loren. But when she was so close with him he never able to listen to what either said, he just wanted to do what he wanted to do.

Eddie: "I hope so."

And with that they got into the car and headed off for lunch.

I just love leddie
