Summary: Chapter 8: Luis barges into Theresa's room and finds Fox there, while Ethan plans something romantic for Theresa.

Theresa and Fox froze. Uh-oh, this isn't good. Theresa didn't know what to do. Luis was outside and he was going to kill her if he knew about her and Fox.

"Theresa, if you don't open up, I'm going to kick the door open!" Luis shouted angrily.

"Coming!" Theresa replied, worried.

She quickly began collecting her clothing from around the room.

"You know, you look cute running around the room naked," Fox whispered loud enough so she could hear.

Theresa gave him a smile and went over to him and gave him a kiss.

"Theresa!" Luis yelled again, getting really impatient.

"I'll be there in a sec!"

She got her clothes on as quickly as she could and ran over to the door. Theresa then straightened her hair and motioned Fox to get out of the bed and into her wardrobe. As usual, he did as she requested.

"There-"

She opened the door and smiled innocently at her brother.

"What's up, Luis?"

"That's what I was going to ask you!" Luis said, looking around her room.

"I…I was just going to sleep when I heard you screaming and banging on my door," was all Theresa could come up with.

"Then why did I hear wild screams coming from your room, hey?" Luis interrogated.

"I don't know what you mean," Theresa replied, looking away.

"Well, I'll soon find out!" Luis said, pushing past Theresa and searching her room.

"Luis, stop it! This is my room and you should respect my privacy!"

"If I think there is potential danger in this room, I have the responsibility to search it! I am your brother and you are my little sister!"

"I'm not little any more, Luis!" Theresa shouted, glaring at Luis.

Just then, a sneeze came from the closet.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, I'm not going to give up without a fight! I love Theresa and we are meant to be together. I'll prove it to her. I promise you, Theresa that I'll make you the happiest woman in the world. Anyway, Fox is just using her; I'm the man she should spend the rest of her life with. I know! I'll set up a romantic date for the two of us…and I know exactly what to do.

So Ethan went to the phone and rang the florist. He ordered a huge bunch of multi-coloured roses and asked them to deliver them by today. He then got started on planning the picnic.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What was that?" Luis asked suspiciously.

"I didn't hear anything," Theresa replied, lying.

Luis strode over to the closet door. Theresa pulled his arm and stopped him.

"What are you doing? I have personal stuff in there!" Theresa complained, diverting his attention.

"More like you have someone hidden there!"

Luis pushed her hand away and opened the closet door, switching on the light. Luis stood there in amazement. He didn't know what he was expecting but he wasn't expecting a stranger in the house, especially in Theresa's room! Fox was smart; he had gotten one of the spare towels and wrapped it around his waist.

"Sorry, it was sorta dusty in here," Fox said, breaking the silence.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Fox Crane. Nice to meet you. Luis, right?"

"A Crane? Theresa, haven't you had enough with the Cranes?!"

"Luis, Fox is different!" Theresa pleaded.

"That's what you said about Ethan and look where it got you!"

"Luis!"

"What the heck are you doing here?" Luis yelled.

"Uh…well, Theresa and I were…kinda…" Fox trailed off.

"Oh, this can't be happening! Theresa, how could you do this?" Luis kept yelling.

"The same way you can do it with Sheridan and Beth!"

"Now that's a different story!"

"How is it, Luis? I love Fox and I'm not a little girl any more. I'm a woman and I can make my own decisions about what I do. If you love me, then you'd respect that."

Luis sighed and then took a deep breath. He turned to Fox. "Do you love my sister?"

"Absolutely," Fox answered confidently.

"'Cause I swear, I'd kill you if you hurt her!"

"I'll treat her like a princess." At that, Fox went over to Theresa and took her hand in his hand.

Luis still look a little unconvinced but then suddenly his pager beeped. After a few seconds, he looked up.

"I got to go back to the station."

"Ok," Theresa said, smiling now.

As Luis walked out the door, he turned around. "You better keep your word, Fox."

Fox gulped and Theresa laughed. You betcha I will!

When Theresa heard the front door close, she went over to the bedroom door, closed and locked it. She took off her top and lay on the bed.

She smiled at him seductively and slowly said, "Let's continue where we left off."

Fox went over to the bed and then lay on top of her. "I was hoping you'd say that!"

A/N What do you think? It's not finished yet! More in store and it's only gonna get better! Review!!!!
