Chapter 2
It had been a long night for Theresa, which was the reason that it didn't surprise Fox that she was still asleep. Asleep in his arms. He looked down at her sleeping on his chest. She looked like an angel.
*She must be hurting so badly after all the pain Ethan's put her through. Not only did he marry another woman but he had the never to invited Theresa so that she could have her heart broken all over again. How dumb is Ethan? Can't he see what he gave up? Can't he see how much she loves him? Of course not or else he would have never let her go. I wonder if he ever would of actually chosen between Gwen and Theresa. The only reason he made a choice in the first place is because Gwen was pregnant. If she hadn't been pregnant he would of played them both. *
Fox was snapped out of his thoughts as Theresa stirred in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and two warm brown eyes stared back at her.
"How are you feeling step-mommy?"Said Fox
"I'm fine thanks. How about you. Did you sleep well"?
"Oh, I slept like a baby."
"Good." She said smiling at him. He could see the pain in her eyes. The pain a single man had caused.
* I wonder what it feels like to be in love or if I'll ever fell It.* Fox thought to himself.
"Fox!" Theresa yelled
"Oh yeah, umm, I'm sorry. What were you saying?" he asked
"Are you alright? You looked so far away" she said
"Oh yeah, I'm fine."
***********Two Weeks Later***********
Gwen and Ethan enter the living room together. What Ethan saw made his blood boil. Theresa and Fox stood in the middle of the living room in each other's arms dancing.
"What the hell is going on?" Ethan yelled as the song ended.
Theresa and Fox both snapped out of the romantic trance they were in.
"Oh, Ethan, Gwen." Theresa said blushing.
"We were just having some fun." said fox."Is there something wrong with that Ethan?"
"Yeah Ethan, what's the matter with that? You're married remember?" Gwen said getting angry at the fact that Ethan always had to find some way to defend or protect Theresa.
"Nothing's wrong with it. It's just that.. That umm, well nothing." Ethan said
"Good" Gwen said before grabbing his hand and leading him to the couch.
"Why don't we all just relax." Fox said bringing Theresa to sit down on another couch with him.
Everything went silent except for the radio that was playing. Then a song that sounded sweet came on. Theresa sat back and listened to the lyrics of the song.
*~ This song is sung by Mariah Carey, Can't let Go ~*
Oooh
Can't let go
Oh baby
Oooh
O yeah
Mmh
O yeah
There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right?
Don't you know you were my life?
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in
My dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone
No
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in
My dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
Oh
Do you even realize the sorrow
I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in
My dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
No I just can't get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
'Cause every night
I see you in my dreams
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in
My dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
As the song ended Theresa realized it reflected exactly how she felt inside. She couldn't bear to see Ethan and Gwen together. To make even worse Gwen too had been listening to the lyrics and knew that Theresa must be dying inside. So she decided to rub the salt on the wound.
"Ethan!" she said loudly.
"What? What's wrong?" He asked worried.
"The baby's kicking!" she said knowing it wasn't true.
Ethan's face lit up with joy as he heard this news and placed his hand on Gwen's stomach. He couldn't feel anything but he was happy to know that the baby inside Gwen had been created in part by him.
At this point Theresa couldn't stand it anymore. She got up and walked away. Fox stood up gave a disgusted look to both Gwen and Ethan and left to follow Theresa. Ethan hadn't even noticed that they had left but Gwen sat there content with the fact that she had hurt Theresa.
***********
It was late at night and Theresa decided to go for a swim to drown her sorrows. She had been in the outdoor pool for a while when she heard someone coming up behind her. She already knew who it was. Fox. He joined her in the pool and after a while they got out and sat on the blanket that Fox had brought out. They sat in silence as they watched the sunrise together.
