Epilogue

Eddie Does Magic Mike 2

It's the night of the movie premier. Eddie and Loren just arrived and are getting out of their limo. They are walking the red carpet. The first interviewer is Lily Park, "Eddie, Loren thank you for stopping by to talk to me," Lily says shoving the microphone in their face.

Eddie and Loren plant a fake smile on their faces, "it's great to be here," they reply.

"Loren you look amazing for someone who just gave birth to a baby boy two months ago," Lily says.

"Thank you Lily," Loren replies.

"So tell me about your role Eddie," Lily says.

"I play Bad Boy Brad, a college student who strips at night to pay his way through school," Eddie replies.

"Is it true that your wife and co-star got into a fight after filming your big love scene?" Lily asks.

Eddie no longer found it necessary to keep the fake smile on his face. Loren squeezes his hand to keep him from losing his temper. "No it isn't true," Miley says walking up to Loren and Eddie giving them a hug. "Loren and I never fought on set; we became the best of friends."

Lily looks shocked, "we have it from a reliable source that you and Loren got into a physical altercation resulting in you breaking your finger and getting three stiches on your lip," she accuses.

"Your source isn't as reliable as you think they are," Loren begins, "Miley and I was rehearsing our roles for the third installment of Charlie's Angels. Jenna Dewan-Tatum is the executive producer."

"Loren is a first degree black belt and was showing me how to execute some moves, I tripped over my feet and fell, that's how I broke my finger and split my lip," Miley says smiling.

"I can't wait for that movie to hit the theaters," Lily says. "So Eddie, you and Channing were able to work out your differences after your physical altercation on the set of Loren's music video for Body Party?" It's Eddie's turn to squeeze Loren's hand to keep her from losing her temper.

"That is old news Lily," Eddie replies.

"Okay well here's some new news," Lily begins. "I understand you did this movie to help you get over a childhood nickname," Lily puts the microphone in Eddie's face.

"Lily," Loren begins, "how about I show you that tae kwon do move I showed Miley in her trailer," she says through her teeth.

"Well it was great talking to you Lily, we better move on to the next person," Miley says grabbing Loren's arm pulling her away.

"Thanks Miley," Eddie says catching up to Loren and Miley.

"No problem Eddie," Miley says. "Loren really is my good friend and I don't want her to get a bad girl rep like me. I'm still trying lose THAT title."

"I'm just happy that we were able to work out our differences so that we can work together on the Charlie's Angels movie," Loren says hugging Miley before she walks away.

Eddie wraps his arms around Loren and gives her a soft kiss on the lips, "thanks for taking up for me Lardy Dont-ran," he whispers.

"Anytime Fatty Dont-ran," Loren whispers. Lardy Dont-ran is the nickname they came up with when Loren was pregnant. They continue down the red carpet posing for pictures, giving interviews and signing autographs.

The premier after party is at MK club and it is a star studded event. When Eddie and Loren walk into the club, Ian immediately pulls Eddie to the side. "I finally caught up to that photographer who altered those pictures of you and Miley on the beach."

"Who is he?" Eddie asks.

"She," Ian says.

"Excuse me," Eddie replies

"She is someone you already know."

"Who is she?" Eddie asks.

Ian takes Eddie by the shoulders and turns him around and points. Eddie glares at the woman, then turns back to Ian, "do you have your camera with you?," Eddie asks.

"Yes, it's in the car," Ian replies.

"Go get it, I need you to take a picture of something," Eddie says with a devious smile then walks over to Loren. He whispers in her ear.

Loren walks over to the press stand, "hey Lily, I've got an exclusive for you."

"Oh really, what is it?" Lily asks.

Loren looks around to make sure no one is listening, "not here, follow me to the parking lot," she says walking towards the exit. Lily follows. As Loren walks to the parking lot she takes off her earrings, bracelets, and necklace. Once she reaches an area away from prying eyes, Loren stops and kicks off her heels and turns towards Lily.

"What's the exclusive?" Lily asks.

Loren glares at Lily, "I heard from a reliable source that you're responsible for those pictures showing up on the gossip sites."

Lily's freezes like a deer caught in the head lights, "I I I don't know what you're talking about," she stutters. "I'm not the one responsible for publishing those pictures of Eddie and Miley on the beach in Miami."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about," Loren says getting into stance. "I never said which pictures I'm referring too." Loren crosses her arms and lifts an eyebrow. "Look Lily, I don't know why you have it out for my husband, but consider this fair warning. Leave him alone."

Lily drops the innocent act, "you don't scare me Loren Tate. You will always be a nobody from the valley. My mission is to make you two miserable. Until he leaves you."

Loren smiles as she gives Lily a front kick to the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Lily falls to her knees trying to catch her breath. "You crazy bit…" Lily begins but Loren spin kicks and her foot make contact with Lily's cheek. Lily falls to the side.

"I don't ever what to have this discussion with you again, and by the way, my name is Loren Duran," Loren says bending down to pick up her shoes, and then walks back to the club entrance. She slips her feet into her heels, puts her jewelry back on and walks into the club.

"Did you get all of it?" Eddie asks Ian. Ian nods his head. He is speechless. Eddie turns and looks at him, "oh that's right you've never seen Loren in action," he says laughing.

Lily pulls out her phone and makes a phone call, "hello?"

"They know I'm responsible for those pictures of Eddie and Miley being on the gossip sites," Lily says.

"Did you tell them about me?"

"No, they have no idea you're the mastermind of this scheme."

"Good, keep it that way."

"Bye Chloe."
