Chapter 1
It was on an ordinary afternoon and Theresa, Fox, Chad and Whitney had gotten together to have a swim at the Crane mansion. Fox was secretly in love with Whitney ever since the night at the Blue Note but he knew that she didn't feel the same but he vowed to himself that one day, she would be his.
'Ugh' he thought looking at the way Chad and Whitney were snuggling and kissing. He wanted to go and punch Chad but he knew that would cause a lot of problems. Whitney giggled at the way Chad kissed her neck and Fox looked away, this was definitely not a good day for him.
Oh well, if he couldn't get close to Whitney today, at least he could go and pester his gorgeous stepmother, Theresa, he looked around for her and saw her slip into the sauna. He took one last glance at Whitney and Chad and decided that they wouldn't even notice that he was gone.
He got up and quietly slipped into the room, he saw Theresa huddled up into the corner weeping. He made his way over to her and gently touched her shoulder. Her head lifted up to look at him in the eyes with tears streaming down her face.
"Theresa? Are you alright?" he said as he sat down beside her.
"He doesn't love me anymore."
Fox sighed; he knew that she was crying over Ethan, he didn't understand what was that appealing to people about him, he was just a spoiled brat that took advantage of women. 'Ha' he thought, people though he was a playboy, well look at Ethan; he kept breaking women's hearts by not deciding which one he wanted; Gwen or Theresa.
"Oh Theresa.. this is about Ethan isn't it?"
"How come he doesn't love me anymore, did I do something wrong? All I did was love him. I didn't lie to him on purpose, is there something wrong with me?" she said between sobs.
"Theresa, look there is nothing wrong with you, Ethan is just a fool for letting you go."
Just hearing his name made her break down in tears. There was nothing much Fox could offer at the moment, so he just pulled her into an embrace. Theresa buried her face into the crook of his name sobbing. He gently caressed her hair saying gentle words to her.
He desperately wanted to see if Whitney and Chad has stopped acting all childish, but he knew that if he left Theresa right now, it would look like Fox was such a cold-hearted person.
A few minutes passed and Theresa calmed down, she pulled away from fox and gave him a small smile. She stood up so he did the same.
"We should go back out now, shouldn't we?" she asked
"Yeah, Whitney and Chad are probably wondering where we are." 'Not' he thought.
Just before he walked out of the room, she stood up and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you for comforting me." Theresa said
"Hey, it was no problem, I'm always willing to help a gorgeous woman."
She gave him a small laugh, which made him smile as well.
"Its nice to see you're feeling better now." Fox said
Outside at the pool, Whitney and Chad hadn't noticed that Fox and Theresa had ever left, finally the both of them looked up at Fox and Theresa to see them staring at the oddly.
"Sorry, Chad and I just got too caught up in the moment." Whitney giggled while blushing.
"Yeah, sorry you guys." Chad said
"Its alright, it's nice to see at least one couple working out nicely" Theresa said
Fox took a glance at her and noticed the pain in her eyes, he didn't say anything though, for the rest of the afternoon, they just talked and swam, but Theresa just sat there limp, with a far away look in her eyes.
