Chapter 10
One night, Fox found himself in his room, sprawled out on his bed waiting for Theresa to come home. She was at mother's for dinner. She had invited him to come along with her but he had declined. It felt a bit strange sitting there with everyone considering that they didn't even know that they were in love. So decided to stay home, at first she protested and begged him to come along with her. But in the end, she finally gave him. Now he realized that he did want to go with her. But had no choice then to stay here and wait for her.
His door opened and in walked Danielle wearing a skimpy dress. He quickly stood up.
"Danielle?How did you get in?"
"With the same key that you gave to me years ago." she said as she waved it in the air. Fox tried to snatch it away from her but she slipped it down the front of her dress. He immediately pulled back.
"Er, I don't think that it's a good idea that you're here. Besides you came here with no permission."
"Why? Is Theresa here?"
"No, she's at her mother's."
"I see, you must be lonely, why don't I stay here and keep you company." she closed the door.
"No, Theresa will be home any minute."
"So are you saying that if Theresa wasn't to come home for hours, you would be want me to stay with you then?"
'No, either way, it's not a good idea that you're even here."
"Admitt it, you missed me."
"No, alright, Danielle, just--" Before he could continue, Danielle pushed him back onto the bed agressively, placing her lips on his. He struggled at first, but eventually relaxed. Fox remembered all the times he had longed to kiss and touch her again. And now, here she was, making the first move. He let his hands travel to her back rubbing it. In return, Danielle went lower and began placing kisses on his neck, making him groan softly.
But then, Theresa's smiling face came into his mind. He opened his eyes seeing the woman before him, Danielle. What was he doing? How could be this unfaithful to Theresa. He shoved Danielle off him shocking her. She looked confused, while Fox was shaking his head fearfully.
"Honey-bear, what's wrong. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that."
"No, that was wrong, what was I doing? It was a mistake." he stood up and started pacing.
"Liar, you kissed me back, you wanted that as much as I did."
"Look, I love Theresa. Just forget about it! It didn't mean anything."
"No, you still have feelings for me, I can see it in your eyes."
"Just get out!" he opened the door for her. But she stayed in her spot. He walked over to her, and pushed her out the door.
"I know you don't mean that Nicky!" she called.
Fox slammed the door shut fidgeting nervously. How could do that to Theresa, he would feel awfully guilty everytime he saw Danielle. Should he tell Theresa about their past? Not yet, it would hurt her too much. He sighed and laid back onto his bed.
45 minutes later his door opened again. He groaned and rolled over concealing his face from the person. He swore, if it was Danielle again, he would have to make some desperate measures.
"Baby? Are you alright?" Theresa called. She shut the door and sat down on the bed beside him.
Fox sighed, thank god is was Theresa. He got up gave her a quick kiss.
"Hey Theresa, I was missing you. That dinner was long."
Theresa pushed himself back down onto the bed giving him soft kisses on his neck. "Yeah, Mama kept saying that she wanted me to move back with her." she barely looked up.
But Fox wasn't thinking straightly, he kept going back to the image of Danielle kissing him. This was so confusing, he was over Danielle, wasn't he? Yes, he was fully committed to Theresa and only her. He began to get nervous and couldn't concentrate on Theresa. He was supposed to be enjoying this moment with her. He couldn't take it anymore, he shot up knocking Theresa onto the floor.
"Ouch!.." she called from the floor.
Fox turned a deep shade of red. He hadn't meant to do that. He offered his hand to Theresa and pulled her back onto the bed.
"Sorry..." he gently touched her head seeing if she was hurt.
"It's alright, Fox, are you okay? You seem....different."
"No, I'm fine. So are you hurt anywhere?" he wanted to change the subject as soon as possible.
"I'm good." but she could already feel a bump forming at the back of her head and it hurt.
He noticed her wince in pain.
"You sure?" He looked her over.
"I'm fine...actually....my head kind of hurts."
He softly touched the back of head and could feel the bump. He flinched shamefully because he caused it.
"Sorry.." he muttered again.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." she reassured him with a smile. "Lay down on your stomach."
"Why?" he asked.
"Just do it."
He obeyed and he felt her hands gently massaging him. He sighed happily.
"You seemed kind of tense...I just wanted to do something to keep your mind off things."
"M-hmmmm."
"Fox?"
"Yes?" he mumbled into the pillow.
"Am I your first true love?"
Damn, he thought. Why was she asking? Did she know something about Danielle. No, it couldn't be. What could he say? lie? Or tell the truth? For now, he would have to lie.
"...Yes.. Whitney didn't exactly count."
"I see."
"Why are you asking?"
"Just curious."
"Theresa..what would you do if I had to leave you for another woman?" he wanted to know how she would react.
Theresa became very alert, she stopped massaging him and got up from the bed and started pacing with a million thoughts going through her head.
"Fox....Don't tell me, you have another woman. Don't leave me, if you want me to change , I will. I promise. I love you too much." her eyes began to tear up, she sat back onto the bed next to him, tugging his shirt.
Woah, he didn't expect her to be like this. This was just a question. Imagine that he really did leave her, how would she react? Take drugs? He couldn't possibly tell her about Danielle now.
Fox took her hand and rubbed her fingers. "Sweetie, I'm not leaving you, it was just a question. Don't worry, I would never leave you. I love you..." He pulled her to him for an embrace. Theresa buried her face into his chest still awfully worried.
"You promise?"
"Yes."
She looked at him, trying to see if she could make out anything from his eyes but he seemed to have put up some kind of barrier so she couldn't see anything beyond his expressions. She gently kissed his nose.
"Don't ever scare me like that again."
Fox chuckled. "Don't worry. I won't, considering I know how you'll react." Suddenly he got up and walked out of the room leaving Theresa by herself shocked.
Where was he going? Luckily he came back quick and was holding a silver box. Theresa looked curious. He sat by her side.
"A present? For me?" she said with a big grin.
"No, it's for me." he joked.
"I got you something today." he passed the box to her. "Hey, I'm not good at shopping for women so don't expect something great."
"I know I'll love it." she said as she kissed him for his thoughtfulness.
She opened the box eagerly and gasped when she looked at the gift.
"Fox....It's beautiful." she held up the diamond necklace with a heart shaped locket in the middle.
"Open it."
So she did, in it was engraved the words 'Always loving you...-Fox". She was touched, this was the best gift she had ever gotten.
"Fox, I don't know what to say....thank you so much."
"Hey, it's no problem if it makes you happy."
She lowered her lips on his kissing him passionately. He fell back onto the bed with her on top. Her hands roaming around his chest. He deepened the kiss, running his fingers through her delicate hair. She let her hands slip underneath his shirt softly touching his skin. He moaned by the feeling of her soft skin touching him.
"Fox...can I have a car next?"
