Chapter 5
"Phyliss, do you know where my red blouse is?"Theresa said moving around in her closet.
"No Mrs. Crane. I'll go check the laundry room for you."
"Thank you" she said walking out of the closet.
Sitting on her bed she sighed.
"Ugh today is the worst day for this. Oh wheres my briefcase?" she said jumping up. Running around the room she began to look for it. Throwing clothes everywhere, she didnt notice someone had walked in.
"Stepmommy, hasn't anyone ever told you that what your bedroom looks like, reflects on the person who lives in it?"
"Fox! What are you doing here?"
'Well I was going to come and see if you were ready, but obviously your not" he said as his eyes persed her langerie clad body.
"Hey, hey, is that anyway to talk to your stepmother?"
"Im sorry mommy, how would you like me to act?"
"Well, you could have some consideration toward the problem I'm having."
"Theresa whats wrong?"
"Im having the worst day ever" she cried.
"Why?"
"Well first of all, I woke up an hour late,then, I couldnt find what i wanted to wear, and now, I cant find the papers for the meeting today."
"Wow, you really are having a bad start."
"Thanks for rubbing it in."
"Well I can tell you, that the papers are in the library."
"Oh! Now I remember" she said laughing.
"Now just go get dressed so we can go" he said smiling.
"Oh alright, I'll just wear something else."
"Thats a good girl."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was quite a meeting."
"Theresa, you were amazing in there."
"Fox your making me blush" she said giggling.
"Well its the truth."
"Hmmm I'm in the mood for ice cream."
"Well theres a vendor up at the warf, lets go" he said grabbing her hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Fox dont you dare. Get that ice cream away from me!" she shrieked.
"Aww, come on Resa, just a little bite."
"No, no. no. Fox i swear if you throw that ice cream on me I'll........"
"You'll what? I could think of alot of things you could do to me.But, none of them are appropriate for outside."
"Fox!" she gasped.
"What? Its the truth."
"Hmm well I can think of some things too, but not right now."
"You know what I haven't done in ages Resa?"
"No, what?"
"Follow me, my lady."
"Fox where are you taking me?"
"You'll just have to wait and see" he said grinning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, close you eyes, no peeking."
"I'm not. I swear."
"Okay, just come a little closer. Yes, okay, now open your eyes."
"Oh my goodness! Fox! The carnival!"
"I havent been here since I was a little boy. I thought it would be fun. Do oyu like it?"
"Yes! I love it. I've missed it so much" she said smiling.
"Well then come on, lets have some fun."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Theresa, look a shooting star. Make a wish."
Closing her eyes, she made a wish that came straight from her heart. "I wish I could be this happy always."
Fox held her close and thought the same thing.
"So what did you wish for."
"You know I cant tell you silly. If I did, it wouldn't come true."
"Oh yes, right. Well the night is still young my darling, what do you want to do?"
"I want to go home."
"What? Why? Aren't yuo having fun?"
"Yes, I am. But, I'd like to just be alone with you now."
"Oh yes I see. Well then, lets go."
"Yes, lets."

He watched her as she slept. God she was so beautiful. Lately, he'd been having these strange feelings though. Everytime she walked into a room, his stomach did flip flops. He felt dizzy and very happy at the same time. Thinking about it these past few hours, he now knew what it was.
"I love Theresa" he said quietly to himself as he stroked her hair.
"But does she feel the same way? Could she really ever love a man like me?"
"Fox?" she whispered quietly.
"I'm right here."
"Dont leave yet, please stay with me for a little longer."
"Resa, if someone were to find me here......"
"Fox please, I need you."
"Then I'll stay" he whispered back.
"Just hold me, and never let go" she sighed.
"I promise Resa, I'll never let go."
But she was already asleep and hadn't heard what he said.
"God help me Resa, but I cant let you go" he said as he drifted off to the land of dreams.
"Phyliss, do you know where my red blouse is?"Theresa said moving around in her closet.
