CHAPTER SIX
Theresa walked around the park until she finally found Ethan sitting on a bench under a tree. She paused as she remembered how they had once kissed under that tree. She smiled to herself, hoping it would happen again and ran over to him. "Ethan!" she yelled.
Ethan looked up from the ground and smiled when he saw Theresa running over to him. She was so beautiful, he loved her so much. He wanted to be with her. He stood up on his feet as she approached him.
"Hey." she said softly.
"Hey." he responded.
There was an ackward silence until Theresa broke the ice. "Ethan, I've been thinking and I think there is hope for us. I want to give you a second chance, that is if you still want one." she said looking anxiously at Ethan.
"Yes! I still do!" Ethan pratically shouted. He picked Theresa up and twirled her around in his arms. He put her back down on the ground and looked intently into her eyes. "I love you Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald."
Theresa shivered, she hadn't heard those words in so long and it felt so good to hear them from Ethan. "And I love you Ethan Winthrop." she replied. Ethan slowly closed the space between their faces and kissed her. The kiss started out gentle and soft and then became strong and longing.
Ethan and Theresa were too caught up in their kiss that they didn't see Fox watching them from behind another tree. His heart ached. He hated seeing Theresa back in Ethan's arms, expecially when he was just about to show her his true feelings for her. Even though he hated Ethan, he had a weird feeling about Ethan and Theresa getting back together. He didn't want to see Theresa hurt all over again. It would kill him to see her hurt. He would kill Ethan if he hurt Theresa over again. Fox sighed, turned around, and walked away.
Ethan and Theresa finally pulled away from their kiss to catch some air. Ethan held Theresa in his arms, "I've been waiting so long to do that again." he whispered into her hair.
"I have too." she whispered back. Tears of happiness began to roll down her cheek.
Ethan pulled her away from him, "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked with concern on his face.
"Nothing," she said wiping away her tears, "it's just I wished so long for this to happen but I gave up thinking I lost you forever and now..."
"Shh." Ethan said pulling her back into his arms. "I promise you will be together forever. I love you."
Theresa sighed, "I love you too." she closed her eyes and was lost in eternal bliss.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Fox said groggily, wiping his eyes. Who would be knocking on his door at 10 o'clock in the morning? He opened the door and there stood Theresa. She looked so bright wearing a huge grin on her face. And she looked so beautiful-
"Well, aren't you going to let me in?" Theresa said interuppting his train of thought.
"Oh, yeah. Come in." he said, moving out the way so she could come in. He closed the door and turned around towards her. "So, what's goin' on?" he asked grabbing a chair.
"Lets just say I had the best time of my life last night! Ethan took me to dinner, and it was so romantic! And then we walked along the beach! I'm so glad he's back in my life again!" Theresa said excitedly.
Fox looked down trying not to let Theresa see the disappointment on his face. She was too happy right now and he didn't want to ruin it by telling her that he didn't think that getting back with Ethan was a good idea.
"Earth to Fox!" she said.
Fox snapped his head up, "Yeah?"
"Dude, you were just like out of it. Is everything ok?" Theresa asked.
No, everything's not okay, Fox thought. "Yeah, I guess its because its so EARLY in the morning!" he said tickling Theresa.
Theresa laughed. "Well, you should get used to it by now."
"Meaning?" Fox flirted.
"Meaning, now that Ethan and I are back together, I made need a little guy advice at times, you know?" Theresa said happily.
Fox rolled his eyes. Screw the idea about not telling her that getting back with Ethan is a crappy idea he thought. "Well let me give you a 'little guy advice' right now, T. I don't think that you should get back with Ethan, period." he snapped.
"Excuse me? WHY?" Theresa asked looking hurt.
Fox felt a sudden pang of guilt as he saw the hurt in her eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap on you like that." he apologized. Theresa nodded. "The reason is because I just don't want to see Ethan hurt you all over again." Fox said half truthly, and also because I'm in love with you, he added to himself.
Theresa smiled and stood up from her seat. "Aww, how sweet of you! That's good that you're looking out for me Fox but Ethan's not going to hurt me all over agian. I KNOW it. I think our relationship is going to last this time."
Fox swallowed. What if she was right? What if Ethan and Theresa's relationship DID last? He couldn't let that happen, he couldn't even let the chance come up. You've got to tell her Fox, he thought. He was about to tell the real reason why he didn't want her back with Ethan, but she was already at the door.
"Well, I'll see you later Fox! Bye!" she said and quickly ran out of the house.
"Bye." Fox silently added.
Theresa sighed as she sunk into the seat of her car. She knew Fox wasn't telling her the whole truth about why he didn't think getting back with Ethan was a good idea, and she was going to find out.
