Hollywood heights Love story

Jake, Slumber Parties, & Tabloids

Eddie POV

My date with Loren was amazing. Even though the pap caught us, I didn't care. I just love how she took control and planned what happened to be one of the best dates I've been on. What scares me though is how I feel around her. I feel like it is so easy to fall for her and I don't know if I can trust my heart for that.

I know that Loren isn't anything like Chloe, but being hurt like that again isn't something I could handle. I cant think like that though. I trust Loren and that's all that matters.

Since Loren is at school today I have to get work done. Right now though, I have to focus on getting Jake to mind his own damn business because I know the reason he called me into his office is to discuss the photos that are all over the tabloids. I'm going to get this whole big lecture on how I shouldn't be dating Loren and how I need to focus on my career and last but not least how it is, plain and simple, not a good idea.

I parked my car and headed up to Jake's office. I see Steven at his desk and give him a give hey and "bro shake" as my mom always called it. Just the thought of my mom makes me smile which in turn reminds me of Loren. I shake my thoughts away.

"Jake, how's it going?" I give him a man hug and pop a squat.

"Eduardo, nothing just busy making you look good as always." He barks out a laugh. "But the main thing I want to talk to you about is -…"

"Loren." I finished the sentence for him. Predictable.

"Look, Eddie, I don't think it's a good idea for you two to see each other. With everything you have going on; it's not the right choice. I-"

"Jake! Look, to be honest I already know what you're going to say and frankly I don't give a shit. I really care about Loren and I'm not going to stop seeing her because you don't approve. You manage my career and I manage my personal. Ok? Good. Now do we have any business to discuss about my career?"

Jake looked taken aback from my speech for a second, but he quickly recovered. "Fine, fine. I won't butt in. I gave you my two cents and that's that. Now I do have business to discuss. You need to start getting into the studio."

I lean back and listen. That's how the next hour goes.

Loren POV

Ugh. I have school today. After having such a great night with Eddie, I just want to stay in with Mel and tell her about everything. We are in much need of girl time so I think I'll convince my mom to let her stay over tonight and the three of us could have a good old fashion slumber party.

Another problem is that people are going to be all over me when I get to school. I break out of my thoughts when my mom puts our breakfast down.

"Hey sweetie, you're awfully quiet."

"Sorry mom, just thinking about yesterday and stuff" I smile. Falling for Eddie this fast is not a good thing but I cant help it.

"Ohh thinking about Eddie, huh? Where did you take him again?"

"I took him to our Indian place. Jai was so happy to see me. the reminds me I promised him we would go back soon. He misses us." I take a sip of my orange juice as I finish my sentence.

"Oh! That's a good idea. I feel awful for missing our monthly dinner there. We should go next week or something. Well I'm glad you had a good night. Sounds like everything went perfectly"

"It did. Oh and just a heads up, we might be on the cover of some magazines. The paparazzi finally caught us together so everything is out in the open. Another thing, I was thinking of having a good ole fashion slumber party that me, you, and Mel have all the time. I think we could all use it since Mel has her stuff going as well as just spending time together."

Just as I finish my sentence I hear Mel honk her horn.

"Oh that's Mel! I got to go! Bye mom; love you!"

"Bye, Lo and thanks for the heads up and yes to the slumber party!"

I grab my bag and head out the door. Right when I sit down, Mel throw like three different magazines on my lap.

"You're all over the magazines! Eddie Duran's new girl! This is crazy, Lo!"

"Haha you're telling me! Luckily, we both were expecting this since we saw the photos being taken, but we thought it was time to get it all out in the open."

"Wait! You put a definition on it? Finally?!"

I blush a little and nod my head. "Yeah, he called me his girlfriend so technically the papers are right."

"This is insane! My best friend is dating EDDIE freakin DURAN! Who would have thought this would happen two months ago?!"

"I know. It's really unbelievable but I'm falling for Eddie Duran the guy, you know, not the rock star. He is just undeniably sweet and amazing.

"You're falling for him fast, Lo.'

"I know and that scares me because I don't want to get hurt. Forget about that; I'm worried about what's going to happen at school. There are going to be so many questions not to mention –"

"ADRIANA" we both said at the same time. We just broke out laughing. I knew that things wouldn't be as bad since I had Mel with me.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that we are having a slumber party at me house; me, you, and my mom. Just like before."

"Oh yay! It's been so long since we had one of those. Plus I need to catch you up on the Aunt Lisa and Beth drama."

"Yeah." Just as we pull into school and park, I get a text from Eddie. I smile as I read it and get out of the car.

One new Text Message

"Hey gorgeous, I just letting you know that I'm picking you up after school. Have a great day, girlfriend."

I blush as I txt him back. "thanks handsome and back at ya."

I slide my phone into my pocket and walk into the quad just in time to see everyone looking at me.

This is going to be a long day.
