Eddie Argues With Jake

Chapter 8: Eddie Argues With Jake

Eddie's Point Of View

Loren and I have a small breakfast this morning before we head back home. She slept the most of the ride, but as soon as I park my car and turn off the engine, her eyes open.

"Morning sleepy head."

She just groggily smiles at me before we exit the car and walk in to the lobby of the hotel I live in. As we walk, my hand stays on her lower back just to keep her close to me.

"Welcome back Mr. Duran and his always as beautiful Ms. Loren Tate." Jeffrey announces.

"Aw that's sweet." Loren shyly smiles.

Jeffrey's the guy that makes sure no unwanted guests get access to my apartment. He's a pretty nice guy, I've never understood why he's not married and has a family of his own.

"Thanks man." We do our manly handshake.

"How was the getaway or am I perhaps asking too close by asking so?" He winks at me.

Winking, I answer, "We had a great time thanks."

"What do you want for dinner babe?" I stand behind the sofa and bow my upper body forwards to kiss Loren's forehead.

"Pizza?"

"Pizza it is. Wanna maybe order and eat it at our parents's home?"

That sentence still sounds extremely weird to say, but it is what it is. Dad is dating Nora, and I am dating Loren. Dad and I are both in committed relationships and we see ourselves marrying these girls. Nothing actually wrong with that since it won't make Loren and I related by blood if our parents get married, but it's just weird.

Reality is that I am marrying Loren, hopefully soon, I'll just need the ring and an yes first.

"When you put it like that you make it sound like we're-"

"Oh please don't say it." We share a good laugh as we gather our things such as phones and keys.

In the second the front door opens, the amazing smell of pizza mentally slaps me in the face. Glad we didn't order pizza on our way over here, that would be awkward.

"Where are mom and Max?" Loren asks and looks around the room.

"I don't know, pizza's in the oven so at least they're in the house. Maybe they went for a walk." I suggest.

"Yeah maybe."

"Or they're spending some time together."

"You don't mean-" Loren stops herself when she sees the little smirk on my face. She grimaces and folds her arms across her chest. "Ew I didn't wanna know that." Laughing, I pull her down on to my lap as I sit on the armlean on the couch.

Speaking of the devil, I think to myself when Nora's bedroom door opens and pop walks out buttoning the last button on his dark grey shirt. That shirt suits him. He loves that shirt. He doesn't get startled when he sees us meaning he heard when we got here.

"Welcome back son." He says. I stand up and pop pulls me in to a hug where he claps my back a few times. "You too Loren." He hugs Loren as well.
