Chapter 3
Over the next few months, Fox and Theresa became much closer friends, she often told him things that she would never dare tell anyone. It was a strong relationship, but most of the time Fox treated her as if Theresa was her little sister. But she wanted to be more then just friends. He was always there for her when she was sad, he made her laugh and smile and made her happy. Lots of times she wanted to tell him how she felt, but she scared of rejection, it didn't seem like he felt the same way. Oh ya, often he hit on her, but he did that to all women so it wasn't a big surprise to her.
She was over Ethan and it showed, she never cried and she was always smiling and laughing. Gwen and Theresa became close friends and often had long and friendly chats. Sometimes she would get depressed over losing Ethan but that was rarely, she knew that she had to move on.
One time she snuck into Fox's room and noticed a bunch of roses on his night table. At first she thought that they might be for her but she looked at the card, the girl's name was scratched out but all she make out was an ' i ' She was heart broken, how could she think that Fox would fall in love with her?
On the other hand, Fox had a slight feeling that something was up with Theresa, he didn't want to pry and ask her so he would just wait until she told him. Yes, he loved Theresa, but as a friend. She helped him through many hard times just by talking with him and giving advice. Ever since the time Theresa had kissed him, things had been a little awkward but they never talked about it. There were occasional pecks on the cheek and hugs but there was nothing more then that.
Things between Whitney and him were alright, he still wanted her but it would take some time, whenever they got a chance to talk, all they talked about was Chad. What was with women? They always talked about other men around him. He had tried to make some moves on Whitney but she never seemed to notice.

Theresa sighed "How am I ever going to tell him...? He must think I'm still in love with Ethan but I'm not."
She walked around the room pacing nervously.
"I should tell him...right? ...yes I should. He told me that he would be at the book cafe and if I wanted I could go there, and meet him later, alright, Im going to tell him I love him."
Theresa made up her mind and decided to tell him her true feelings, hopefully she wouldn't freak him out. She grabbed her purse and keys and walked out the door.

Fox was in the book cafe doing some paper work on Crane Industries when he heard someone weeping, he turned around and noticed Whitney sitting in a table alone crying. He quickly rushed up to her.
"Whitney?? Are you alright" he said awfully concerned
"Oh Fox, Chad has to stay in L.A for another 6 months, but he promised me that he would come back next week, this is horrible. I miss him so much.."
"Oh no, Im so sorry " 'great! More time for him to plan and get whitney for myself' he thought
Fox hugged her while she cried.
"It seems like things aren't working out for us, he's always busy and we barely see each other now."
"I know how you feel, but don't worry, just remember that you love each other." he said while he smoothed her hair.
Whitney gazed up at him and her face slowly inched toward his and he did the same, and then her lips were on his, Fox wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss. 'Finally, all my work payed off' he thought

Theresa opened the door to the book cafe and looked around for him, he didn't seem to be anywhere, she saw two people making out and she chuckled.
"How can people kiss in public? So disrespectful"
She eyed the room once more and decided to call out his name.
"Fo---"
She suddenly felt weak in the knees and her head was throbbing. She walked closer to the couple kissing on the couch.....that was fox.!? Who was that girl with him?
"Oh my god!" she said loud enough for the both of them to hear . She could see cleary now, that woman was Whitney, her supposed best friend.
Whitney and Fox pulled away from each other and stared at Theresa, there was silence. Fox was the first to say something.
"Um, hi Theresa..What are you doing here?"
"Ha! What am I doing here? You asked me if I wanted I could come but I see that you're busy at the moment."
Whitney who hasn't said a word through all this finally did.
"Oh my god! What have I done?? I thought Fox was Chad....I never meant...how could this happen?" She cried and ran out the door.
'Damn, i guess that i wasnt that lucky' he thought
Fox and Theresa just stared at each other.
"Theresa, that wasn't what you think"
"I may have been blind once, but I'm sure not stupid. I have eyes and i know how to use them." she said with tears running down her face.
Fox stood up and touched her arm.
"Listen to me.."
"No! Leave me alone, I hate you!"
With that she ran out the door.
