A/N: Hey, I'm new at writing Passions Fanfics. But I've been watching it since it first came on. And since James Stevenson will be playing Jared Casey as a new love interest for Theresa, I figured I would write this story, as the way I think it will start. I hope you like it.
Summary: Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald has struggled with love, and thinking that there's no one else for her, since Ethan married Gwen. But will a newcomer to Harmony come and sweep her off her feet?
Characters: Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, Jared Casey, Ethan Winthrop, Gwen Hotchkiss, Fancy Crane, Noah Bennett, and some others that will appear throughout the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone mentioned in this story, they belong to themselves.
I'll Show You: Part 1
"Theresa, not again." Ethan Winthrop groaned into the phone.
"Please, Ethan. This is the perfect job for you."
"No, it's the perfect opportunity for you to try to seduce me again."
"No it's not. Is it really that hard to believe that I actually want to give you a job at Crane Industries out of the goodness of my heart?" She asked looking over a job application in front of her, as she read it over she noticed the name Jared Casey.
"Yes." He replied simply.
"But Ethan…" Theresa was cut off by the secretary opening her office door.
"Um… excuse me Mrs. Crane, but Mr. Jared Casey is here."
"Ethan, I have to go. But we're not through talking about this. Bye." Theresa said hanging up the phone. "Send him in." She said sighing, as she ran a perfectly manicured hand through her hair in frustration.
Just then the door opened and in walked a man with short dark hair, dark eyes, and a beautiful smile. "Hi, I'm Jared Casey. I'm here about the job for an assistant, Mrs. Crane." He said extending his hand for Theresa to shake.
"Theresa." She corrected. "Not Mrs. Crane." She said shaking his hand.
"Okay, Theresa. It's nice to meet you." He said smiling.
Theresa couldn't help but smile back. She couldn't resist the twinkle in his eyes when he smiled.
"Um… okay, so let's get to the interview." She said breaking eyes contact with him.
"Okay." He said sitting down in the leather chair in front of Theresa's desk.
"Do you have any previous experience in being an assistant?" She asked.
"Well, when I was five I was an assistant to my friend Clyde." He said laughing a little.
Theresa giggled. "Clyde?"
"Yeah, he was an awesome boss, and imaginary friend." Theresa laughed even more. This guy was hilarious. "But, if you're talking seriously, then no, I don't have any previous experience."
Theresa calmed herself before speaking. "Okay." Suddenly the secretary walked in again.
"I'm sorry to interrupt Mrs. Crane, but Fancy is here, and she seems upset."
"Send her in." Theresa said standing up.
When Fancy walked in she was crying. "Theresa, I can't believe…" She stopped talking when she noticed Jared sitting in the room. "Oh, I'm sorry, I…I didn't know you were busy. I'll go." Fancy said as she turned to leave.
"Fancy, don't go. Stay." Theresa said stopping her. She turned to Jared and smiled. "Can you please come back later, around like 5:00, please?"
"Yeah, no problem." He said getting up and walking toward the door. "Nice to meet you, Theresa." He said smiling, as he walked out.
Theresa turned to Fancy and sat next to her on the leather couch. "What's wrong?"
Fancy wiped a few tears from her eyes, and spoke. "Noah… you know how me and him had gotten back together last month, right?" Theresa nodded her head and Fancy continued. "Well, I came home today and caught him in bed with Maya." Fancy said crying more.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Fancy. I can't believe he did that." Theresa said sympathetically. "How about we have a girls night tonight?" Theresa suggested.
"What?" Fancy asked.
"A girls night. It'll be me and you. And we can invite Kay, Jessica, and Paloma. We'll eat ice cream until we puke, we'll eat our way in potato chips, we'll rant about our sucky love lives, It'll be fun. I promise."
Fancy sighed. "Under one condition."
"Okay, what?"
"No male strippers." Fancy warned.
Theresa laughed and agreed. "I promise, no male strippers."
"Okay, then I'm in."
