Chapter 26

Eddie is standing there in shock. No one else had seen what Eddie was holding but they all followed Melissa out from where they were hiding to see a really embarrassed Eddie. Eddie quickly puts what he is holding into his pocket and starts talking.

Eddie: Melissa where did you come from?

Melissa: From behind the dumb wall you idiot, really what are you thinking? And why did you send Ian to get it?

Eddie: Mel, please calm down its not what you think I promise I can exlain.

Melissa: Really you were holding a diamond ring in an engagement box and you are telling me its not what it looks like?

Max: You bought Loren a ring, why didn't you talk to Nora or I before you did this?

Eddie: I didn't buy Loren a ring.

Melissa: So you are going to tell me that I did not just see you holding a diamond ring in a small black box.

Eddie: You did see that, but

Melissa: But nothing, you might be ready for this but Loren is not.

Nora: Mel, why don't you calm down for a minute here.

Max: Why don't you all leave and let us talk to Eddie alone please.

Jake and Kelly walk out together and start talking.

Kelly: I actually like the idea of Loren and Eddie together.

Jake: Boyfriend girlfriend yeah it makes for great pr but as a married couple, I don't know.

Kelly: Why not?

Jake: Well ever since he met Loren he has been making less and less time for his career if he is actually married to the kid imagine what he would do then.

Kelly: She is his whole world and that doesn't look like it will change so fast so why not take their relationship to the next level?

Jake: Because he is only 22 and she is 18 neither of them is ready for this.

Kelly: Eddie was engaged before.

Jake: Yeah but that was different.

Kelly: How so?

Jake: Well now I think we can all see that he wasn't really in love with Chloe, he always put his career first when it came to her.

Kelly: And that's what is scaring you so much, you see that he is seriously in love with Loren, that this time its real.

Jake: When you say it like that I sound like I don't care about him.

Kelly: Well you care more about his career than you do about him

Jake: It's my job to care about his career

Kelly: And its mine to take care of Loren. Look whatever happens with this we both have to be their for our client,

Jake: That's why I don't think Eddie should do this.

Kelly: Neither do I, but we both know Eddie, once he has his mind set on something it's hard to change it.

Jake: That's what makes me so scared about this.

Kelly: Me too, but the bottom line is they will do what we want whether we like it or not, we might as well get on bored.

Jake: I guess lets see what they end up doing.

Kelly: Good idea, I'm going to the bus I am assuming it will be a really long ride to Orlando after this.
