Chapter 5- The Day After
It was morning and Theresa woke up. She felt a man's strong arms holding her and smiled. Then, Fox woke up.
"Good morning, Beautiful." Fox said
"Good morning, Handsome." Theresa said back. "It feels good waking up next to you."
He smiled, leaned over and kissed her.
After taking showers and getting dressed, they went downstairs. That's where they saw Ivy.
"You look tired, Theresa." Ivy said. "Were you up late last night thinking of ways to steal Ethan from Gwen?"
"Don't start with my, Ivy." Theresa said. "I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now."
"That's to bad because I've got a few things I want to say to you." Ivy said.
"Mother, leave Theresa alone." Fox said.
"It's okay, Fox. I can handle her." Theresa whispered to him. "What do you want now, Ivy?" she said to Ivy.
"I want you to know you better not try anything to break up Ethan and Gwen. Ethan doesn't love you, he loves Gwen. They are expecting a child together. So, you better leave them alone you little tramp, or I'll-" Ivy started to say.
"Or you'll what, Ivy? Run me down with your wheelchair?" Theresa said.
Fox let out a little laugh.
Theresa continued, "I am not scared of you, Ivy! And it doesn't matter anyways because I'm not planning anything to get Ethan back. I don't love him anymore. I've moved on."
"Yeah, right." Ivy said.
"I don't want Ethan anymore! To tell you the truth, I don't know why I wanted him in the first place! As far as I'm concerned, Gwen can have him!" Theresa said and stormed out of the room with Fox following her.
They went upstairs and walked into Theresa's room. Fox said "That was pretty good down there."
Theresa smiled and said "thanks." Fox could tell she seemed a bit distant.
"Hey," he said, lifting her chin with his hand gently. "What's wrong?"
Theresa said, "It's just that, I hate that for the longest time I let my whole world revolve around Ethan. That's why Ivy thinks I still want him. She thinks I can't just get over him this quickly because for a long time, he was my main focus. Do you understand or am I just rambling on?"
Fox pulled Theresa towards him and held her in his arms. "I understand."
Meanwhile, Ethan was standing outside of Theresa's room. I've got to talk to her. He thought to himself. I've got to tell her how I really feel. I love her.
He knocked on Theresa's door. When he didn't hear anything, he walked in. He could feel his blood boil when he saw Fox holding Theresa in his arms. "Get the hell away from her!" Ethan yelled.
Ethan pulled Fox off of Theresa and punched him. Fox fell to the ground.
"Ethan! Stop!" Theresa yelled as she helped Fox get up.
When he was up, Fox punched Ethan. Ethan fell to the ground and before he could hit Fox again, Theresa pushed him away.
"What is the matter with you?" Theresa yelled at Ethan. "Where do you think you can get off barging in here trying to start a fight with Fox?"
"Theresa, I told you to stay away from him. He's bad news." Ethan said.
"You have the nerve to call me bad news when you're the one who came in here like a maniac trying to start a fight with me!" Fox yelled at Ethan.
"This doesn't concern you, Fox." Ethan said.
"When you come in here yelling and fighting with me, I think it concerns me." Fox said.
"You didn't answer my question, Ethan! What is your problem?" Theresa asked.
"I was trying to get him off of you. I told you, you need to stay away from him." Ethan said.
"And I told you before to back off! Don't you remember? We're not together anymore. So, go back to your wife." Theresa said.
"But, you love me, Theresa." Ethan said.
"You know, Ethan, for someone who's supposed to be a well-educated lawyer, you're very slow. I don't love you anymore! Just get out of my room now." Theresa said.
Hurt, Ethan did as Theresa asked. Outside of her room, Ethan thought to himself. I'll get you back, Theresa. I know you still love me.
Inside Theresa's room, Theresa was tending to a wound on Fox's cheek.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Theresa asked.
"No, it's fine." He answered. "Thanks for sticking up for me, Theresa."
"Well, I wasn't going to let him punch the man I love." Theresa smiled at Fox. He smiled back. Fox felt good to be referred to as the man she loves.
"I'm hosting a party here for work tonight. Would you like to be my date?" Theresa asked.
Fox leaned in and kissed Theresa. She felt tingles throughout her whole body.
"I'll take that as a yes." She said.
"Yes." Fox said.
Then, they looked into each other's eyes and Fox said, "I love you, Theresa."
"And, I love you, Fox." She said back.
