Meet me in Paris Hollywood Heights
Happy, again? C-4
Cam smiles. "That's great Loren, I am very happy for you."
Loren doesn't even know how to respond. "Thanks." She grabs Eddie's hand. "Excuse us." She looks at Eddie. "We need to talk."
Mel and Katy trail behind them. "What is Eddie talking about?" Mel wonders while she looks at Katy.
"What is going on, why did you lie to them?" Loren asks.
"I couldn't help it, my cousin was going on and on about her pregnancy, I had to stop her from hurting you."
"We are not dating and not even close to being engaged, they will eventually figure it out, what are you going to do when they realize this isn't true?" Loren questions.
"They won't figure anything out, we hardly see them, I had to stop my cousin from gloating, I don't want them to hurt you ever again." Eddie sighs.
Katy and Mel stop right behind them. "What's going on Eddie?" Katy questions.
"Nothing at all Mom." He looks at Mel. "Don't worry Mel, I know what I'm doing."
Mel sighs. "I hope so."
The party continues, it's close to midnight when everyone is exiting MK, Cam stops by Loren.
"I am very happy for you." He adds.
"Thanks Cam." She avoids making eye contact. "Congratulations to you and Ella."
Cam sighs. "Listen, I am sorry for everything that happened between us, I know I hurt you and that's the least thing I wanted to do."
"I appreciate that Cam; I am doing much better now." She looks at him. "I understand things happen for a reason, enjoy your life Cam."
Loren turns around and walks towards Mel. "I am ready to go."
"You can't leave now; did you forget your dating Eddie Duran?" Mel asks.
"What am I supposed to do?" Loren questions.
"Wait for him, I don't know if you've noticed but Ella hasn't stopped looking this way, if you leave without Eddie, she will figure it out, and we can't have that." Mel insists
"But, Eddie and I are not even dating." Loren wonders.
"I don't like Ella, I know Eddie didn't want her to hurt you again, that's why Loren, wake up girl." Mel adds.
"Wake up from what?" Loren questions.
"He's falling for you!" Mel is quick to say.
"Omg Melissa, you are crazy!" Loren says.
"Of course you don't believe me, just watch and see where this is going." Mel adds.
Loren sighs. "We're friends Mel."
A few days later,
Loren is in one of the buildings Jake owns and looks through the pictures he left for her to see, he wants Loren to redo some of the offices in the buildings he and the Duran's own.
"It looks like an easy fix." Mel adds.
"I think most of those offices will need a new paint job, maybe change a few of the furnishings and add several art pieces." Loren adds.
Mel points to the windows. "Those windows will need new shades and that huge picture window will drape beautifully in that color, that will definitely change the look of that conference room."
"You're right, I like that idea." Loren adds.
There's a knock on the door. "Come in."
A young man walks in. "Are you Loren Tate?"
Loren looks at him. "I am; how can I help you?"
The young man looks back towards the door. "She's in here guys."
Loren and Mel stand up. "What do you want? Do you have an appointment to see Ms. Tate?" Mel questions.
"We are part of Eddie's team and we know he's dating. We are curious to meet you because we honestly thought he'd never date after the mess with Chloe Carter." He adds.
"I really don't have the time to talk." Loren is quick to say.
"My name is Pete, Eddie is super nice and we appreciate what he does for our team, we wanted to meet the young lady that made him believe in love again." He says.
Loren semi smiles. "Thanks Pete, I am really busy but." She looks at Mel. "I will be happy to answer one or two questions."
"That's all I ask." Pete smiles and stands in front of Loren. "How did you meet?"
"We attended the same high school." Loren adds.
"Awesome, I know you're genuine Loren, you are nothing compared to his ex-girlfriend, I know you're helping mend his broken heart, can't wait for you two to be engaged, we are very excited for that to happen." Pete stops. "We know our guy Eddie is happy thanks to you, so tell me, does he make you happy?"
Loren furrows her eyes. "Yes, he does." He continues to ask more questions.
Pete types several things in his iPad and he gets ready to leave. "Well, I am thankful for your time, you will see a lot more of us."
"Of course, thanks guys." Loren walks them to the door. She walks back to her desk.
"I wonder what Chloe did?" Mel asks.
"I've never kept up with his career, I guess he knows how it feels to have your heart broken." Loren sighs.
"I'm sure he understands Lo, did you hear what Pete said?" Mel questions.
"He said too much, what did he say?" Loren asks.
"He said Eddie was happy again." Mel walks closer to Loren. "I've noticed how he looks at you, that means you make him happy."
"Don't start Mel, I loved once and my heart was broken." Loren sighs.
"That doesn't mean Eddie will break your heart too." Mel says.
A few hours later, Loren is getting ready to leave, she's adding some pictures onto her laptop. Jake's been sharing pictures of the stage area.
"Hey beautiful, Jake told me you were here." Eddie smiles.
Loren semi smiles. "Hi Eddie, glad you're here, we need to talk."
"Sure, what's up?" Eddie hops onto the table.
"Pete was here." Loren looks at him for a reaction.
"My pal Pete, he's amazing and trustworthy." Eddie says.
Loren stands in front of him. "He asked about us dating, how did the word get out so fast? You and I dating isn't real Eddie, plus he mentioned Chloe and our soon to be engagement, what have you been telling him?"
"Well, he's been around since I started, he was there when Chloe and I broke up, I told him I wasn't going to get serious anytime soon." He says.
"That's why he was here, now what?" Loren questions.
Eddie jumps off the table and stands in front of Loren. "I think we're officially dating Loren, I didn't think I could do this again, but, I want this to work."
Loren furrows her eyes. "Wait, I thought you made this up to stop Ella."
"I did, but, it's very real for me." Eddie sighs and leans in placing a kiss on Loren's lips.
"Eddie.." He holds her closer and kisses her again.
Loren sighs while looking at his lips, she slowly leans in and allows the kiss to deepen.
Yikes! Kindly review.
