Chapter 3- Three simple words

Theresa and Fox walked into the book café. They got a table towards the back, ordered their drinks and started talking.

"I was really proud of the way you stood up to Ethan, earlier." Fox told her. "Kind of surprised, too".

"Thanks. Honestly, I was kind of surprised too." Theresa told him. "I mean, just last week I got upset every time I saw him and Gwen together. Now, I'm telling him to basically back off."

"That's something I was wondering about too." Fox started to say. "Is this for real? I mean, are you really over Ethan? It seems so sudden."

"I know. But, this is for real. I am really over Ethan. This is something I should've done a long time ago. Like I said before, there's another guy out there for me." Theresa said.

"He may be closer than you think." Fox said.

"What?" Theresa asked.

"Oh, nothing."

"Come on, what did you say?" Theresa smiled.

"I don't think it's something you're going to want to hear now. It may not be the best time." Fox answered.

"Please!"

Fox looked into Theresa's eyes. God she's beautiful. He thought. This isn't the best time to tell her this, but if she wants to know.

"Ok." Fox answered. "Theresa, lately I've been having these feelings for you. Feelings I've never felt before. At first, it scared me because I didn't know what to do with these feelings. Every time I see you, it seems like all of my problems just go away. My stomach does flips every time you walk into the room. When you would go on and on about how much you loved Ethan and when I saw the way you looked at him, it hurt me. You're the only person who's ever cared about the way I feel. Ever since I've been home, you've been there to listen to my problems. Before you came along, I thought this would never happen to me. I didn't even think this existed. I guess what I'm trying to say is.I love you, Theresa."
