Author: Cry Me A River
Summary: They say that love conquers all. But what if the person you love
is married???
Chapter 7
Lies
I emerged from the den just as Gwen walked out the door. I can't help but
panick so i follow her. What if she knew that I was really thinking of
Theresa when i made love to her.Or that I didn't love her and that the
baby was the only reason that I was with her.
I couldn't let her to divorce me. She would take me for everything I had,
which wasn't much. But still, I had to stay with her for a while, at least
until after the baby was born and she was able to go back to work.
Then maybe, just maybe, I coould be with Theresa.
So i followed her out to her car. "Gwen darling, where are you going?"
Gwen looked surprised as she gave me a fake smile. "I just wanted to get out."
I needed to fake concern. My only real concern was that she was going to
try to find a lawyer to file for a divorce. "Do you want some company?"
Gwen smiled at me and this time it was genuine. "No thanks honey. I will
be back later. I want to buy something we both can enjoy."
I tried my best not to sigh. I knew that she was going to buy more sexy nighties
and I pretended to be excited. But I wasn't. I didn't like having to pretend
that my wife was someone else. What I wanted was to be with the other person.
Instead of being honest with Her, i lied and said "I can't wait."
Sometimes I wonder if Gwen thinks of someone else when we make love. I know
that she had another lover when she was in college. she still wasn't aware
that I knew, but I would have to be a fool not too. The only thing I didn't
know was with who that was with.
Gwen was so happy then, and I was too being with Theresa. But our parents
pushed us to get back together, and finally we had, thanks in part to her
pregnancy. And what did it get us but misery?
"Well, give me a kiss Ethan so I can be on my way!" Gwen said, playfully
swatting me, which brought me back to reality.
I gave her a kiss and headed inside as she pulled out of the driveway.
Now I can finally talk to Theresa, I reasoned and went inside. Then I climbed
the stairs and headed to Theresa's room. I was humming as I went along.I
was always happy when I got to see her without Gwen watching me like a hawk.
I was about to knock on the door when I heard muffled laughter from the other
side of the door. What bothered me was that the other voice was male.I waited
for a moment, straining my ears. Maybe it was one of her brothers, Luis or perhaps
Miguel.
"Theresa, you're a beautiful woman. Move on and forget Ethan. After all I am
still available."
"But you're my stepson." Came Theresa's answer.
I was absolutely furious! How dare Fox hit on her? I thought that I had made
it clear that he was to stay away from her! Theresa was much to innocent
and sweet to be corrupted by that fool. But I knew losing my head was not the
answer. I had to play it cool so I waited until they stopped talking for a'
moment and then knocked on the door.
"Theresa, it's Ethan. Are you awake?"
"Yes. Did little Ethan wake up?"
"No, I just wanted to know if you wanted to have breakfast with me. Gwen
went out and you know that i hate to eat alone."
There was some scuffling on the other side of the door, and then she emerged
looking sweet and gorgeous. She was wearing slacks and a colorful peasant
shirt, and flats.
"Ok, I'm coming." she states smiling at me. Then she turns to Fox who has
finally came out of her room. "WE'll talk later, ok?"
"Sure step mommy." He answers, openly flirting with her.
"Theresa, If you don't mind, I would like to have a word with my brother."
I said, touching her face."I'll be down in a moment."
Theresa rolled her beautiful brown eyes, but walked down the stairs alone.
I was thankful that she did. I didn't want her to know, not yet at least,
that I was jealous of Fox.
"What the hell were you doing in Theresa's room?" I demand, slamming him
into the wall.
But Fox being the prick that was still smiling. "Don't worry about it bro,"
he smirked, "Theresa's fair game. you're married. Besides we are getting
closer. Does that bother you EThan?"
I raised my fist to punch him. I wanted to give him a taste of what would
happen if he didn't stay away from Theresa, but Rebecca emerged from Julian's
room at the moment so I dropped my hand.
"This is not over Fox."
He smiled. "No I guess not!"
