Chapter 8

20 minutes later Theresa came out of the bathroom and noticed Fox sleeping. She smiled and reflected on today's events. It seemed so unreal, like a dream. God finallly answered her prayers, she could be with the man she loved. Everyone would be surprised when she told them that Fox and her were a couple, she hoped no one would disaprove. She hated to wake up Fox but she needed to sleep as well. She gently shook him by the shoulder.

"Fox?"

He groaned and mumbled. He was having the best dream, he had asked Theresa to marry him, and she happily accepted. Now they were on their honeymoon and was just getting to the good part when she woke him up. He rolled over so he wouldn't have to look at her, he wanted to get back to sleep.

"Fox, wake up."

"No..."

"Fine, you stay here for the night and I'll sleep in your room."

Theresa walked and opened the door to her room was about to proceed to his bed chamber. Fox grumbled once more.

"No....I'm up, I'm up. You can sleep here in your room....with me." he grinned sheepishly.

She gave him a knowing smile. She closed the door and slid into bed.

"Go change."

"I will...dont worry...if you wanna see my body...just ask."

Theresa groaned.

"Go away."

Fox chuckled and stripped his clothes off down to his boxers, leaving them on a nearby chair. He climbed into bed , and Theresa snuggled up to him instantly. He slid his arm around her and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Theresa? Are we going to tell anyone about..us?"

"Yes...why? Are you ashamed?"

"What?! Of course not, I have the most amazing and beautiful woman all for myself, and I wouldn't tell anyone? I'd go tell it to world."

"Good, we'll tell them soon."

"How do you think they'll react?"

"Surprised of course, but hey, its their problem, as long as I'm happy."

"And you are Theresa?..you are happy with me?"

She leaned up and kissed him.

"Yes, I am happy...for the first time in so long

Fox sighed in relief.

"Alright, Theresa, we should get to sleep, it's late and we have to go work early."

"Yeah, I'm getting tired anyways."

She leaned up to give him one last kiss for the night.

"Goodnight Fox."

"G'Night Gorgeous, sweet dreams."

Theresa closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep with Fox in her thoughts, Fox spent a few minutes just looking at her, she was so beautiful and she was actually his. Unbelievable. Eventually he drifted off as well.

The next morning.

Theresa had woken up first and had her breakfast, she came back into her room and Fox will still sleeping. If he didn't get up they would be late for work. She opened the curtains letting the sun shine in.

She went over to him and shook his shoulder.

"Fox! Wake up!"

He didn't budge.

"Fox! We have to go to work soon and you're not even ready."

He groaned a bit and rolled over to the side.

She slapped his arm lightly.

"This is the last warning."

Fox took a nearby pillow and put it over his head hoping to drown out her voice but it didn't work. He muttered a few words and finally got up.

"It's so early Theresa!.let me sleep 10 more minutes." He fell back onto the bed.

"Alistair called and said that we had a new worker and we had to show her around and teach her the rules and everything."

"Can't someone else teach him or her?"

"No, Alistair personally asked for us."

"Aww."

"Fine, I'll go myself, you can meet me there later."

Fox protested, " No, I'm going with you, what if this new worker is a guy. I don't want him to be hitting on you."

She smiled, "Alright, then get up." She tried to pull him up but he was heavy and ended up on top of Fox.

He caressed her face. " We can stay here for a while, this new person can wait." He captured her lips in a deep passionate kiss.

She pulled away " As much as I want this, Crane Industries is one of my priorities so I can't just go and leave whenever I please."

"Alright, I'll go change."

"Good, I'll wait downstairs for you."

"Okay."

After a bit Fox came down in a clean shirt and pants with a happy looking expression.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah."

Fox walked over to the side of the car and opened the door for her.

"Thank you, my, what a gentleman you're being today."

"What? Just today?"

"Ok.all the time."

He drove while holding Theresa's hand the whole time.

"Don't you think all this seems so unreal?" he asked

"What does?"

"You know..us..a couple."

"To be honest, yes a bit, but I'm still very happy, I love you and only you."

"I love you too."

He leaned in and brushes his lips against hers

* BEEP *

"Fox! Keep your eye on the road." She giggled

"Oh ya..sorry, too busy noticing a gorgeous woman beside me."

She blushed. They arrived to work and walked into Theresa's office. Someone knocked on her door.

"That must be the new worker."

"Please don't be a guy..please don't be a guy. If yes, please not better looking then me." Fox was looking at the ceiling praying.

Theresa laughed and opened the door, a slim blonde wearing an outfit that showed a lot of her skin walked in.

"DANIELLE?!!?!!"
