I'm so very sorry for not updating for a long time. I've been super busy with school and life is just keeping me away but here is another chapter! Hopefully you like it especially after the long wait!

Loren POV

After I got off the phone with Eddie, I raced to pack. Since he said to pack a bathing suit I figured I would need some shorts and maybe a cute cover up dress. I packed two sexy bikinis and a Victoria Secret bathing suit cover up. I also threw in a pair of shorts, another cute dress, and some PJs.

"Hey mom." I called her.

When she got to my room, I went up to her and gave her a huge hug. "Thanks for letting me go."

"You're welcome, sweetie." She tightened her arms around me before she let go. "Now, I want you to be safe… in every way."

"MOM!"

"What?! You never know!" she exclaimed as she left.

What she said got me thinking though…what if… my mind trailed off. I walked to my dresser and pulled out the sexy bra and panty set Melissa bought me as a joke. May this will come in handy I say to myself.

I throw it into my suitcase and zip it up. Just then the doorbell rings.

I let out a full-fledged grin.

Eddie is here!

Eddie POV

I pull into the Tate driveway and I stall. I'm so nervous! This is really happening. After Chloe, I never thought I would love anyone other than her but when her truth came out, I realized that I loved the Chloe that I thought I knew not the gold-digger who tried to hurt Loren. The love we had was not real, but Loren and I, that was a whole different story.

The thought of seeing her gives me the strength to get out of the car.

I walk up to the house and ring the doorbell.

Nora opens it and pulls me into a motherly hug. It's nice. I can't remember that last time a felt a hug that reminded me of mom.

As we pull apart Loren walks out with her suitcase.

"Hey beautiful." I give her a peck on the lips.

She smiles brightly at me. "Hey rock star, you ready to go?"

I nod and grab her suitcase. "Bye, Nora! I'll take care of her don't worry!"

As we get settled in the car Loren turns to me and asks where we are going.

"That's a surprise, babe" I give her a quick kiss on the lips and we start driving. I turn the radio on and we start singing along to the tunes and I know that this is going to be the best weekend ever.

Chloe POV

UGH! That queen bitch would have been my easiest way to take down Loren, but I guess I'll just have to try this Cameron boy. I walk into the café that the teeny booper works in hoping that Cameron is lurking there trying to talk to Tate and sure enough I'm right.

Wow Chloe your just so smart. I thought to myself.

I tap him on the shoulder and he turns.

"Cameron, my name is Chloe Carter and I'm hoping we could help each other out."

"I know who you are. You cheated on Eddie." An irritated look passes on my face as he continues. "What can I possibly help you with?"

He says my name like it's poison. Whatevs, he's just a means to an end that I need to tolerate.

"I know that you are interested in Loren Tate and I know that I want Eddie back in my arms so how about we help each."

I see a dark look flash across his face and I know that maybe this will work.

"Are you going to hurt Loren?"

"No of course not!" I feign innocence. "I just want us both to be happy so maybe if we put our heads together we can come up with an idea!"

He looks at me as if he is calculating what I'm saying and finally the golden words are said.

"I'm in."

Cameron POV (first time ever! :)

After Chloe left I spent time thinking. I kept going over and over the entire conversation and it feels so wrong. I know that it would be the wrong way to get Loren to go out with me but in that moment the offer seemed so tempting!

The one thing that keeps bugging me is the why she innocently said she wouldn't hurt Loren. The way she said it was to innocent like she was acting and very badly might I add…doesn't she want to be an actress? Yeah she should reconsider that.

As much as I want to be with Loren I know that even if this does work, it would not be real. I won't really have her. I can't do this.

I pull out my phone and dial the one person who will protect Loren and keep this from happening.

Melissa POV!

I'm sitting in my room with Adam as he is painting my toes and I'm replaying the conversation I had with Loren an hour ago in my head.

It's so exciting!

Flashback

My phone rings and I know it's Loren since the song "You got a Friend in Me" went off. It's ,y ringtone so I know it's her calling.

"Hello Lo" I say in my sing-songy voive.

"Why hello best friend, just thought you should know that I will be on a romantic getaway with one Eddie Duran this weekend." She says with a smile. I could her her excitement and I let out a screech!

"AAAHHHH! No way, Lo! I can't believe your mom agreed to that! Lisa would lock me in a tower like Rapunzel except unlike her I don't have flowing locks of her to escape with!"

She lets out a huge laugh at my joke but she knows it's true.

"Do you need help packing. I can come over." She knows I'm a fashion goddess.

"No that's ok. Eddie is coming in a half hour so I need to pack quickly and by the time you get here I won't have much time but I promise it will be your packing checklist worthy."

"It better, Loren Tate!" I threaten lightly and I laugh. "Have a good time, Lo. I want details when you get back!"

"Anything for you, your majesty!" I laugh and hang up.

Flashback Over

"What are you smiling about" Adam breaks me out of my though.

"Oh nothing just happy and excited for Lo's romantic getaway. If only we could have one." I sigh.

"We will one day. It will be epic. I promise." Adam tells me with a smile. He leans over and kisses me.

As I go to give him another kiss, my phone rings.

"Don't move, mister. We shall resume this asap."

I look at my caller ID and it says Cam. I shrug and answer it.

"Hey Cam, what's up?"
