Chapter 8
A couple of months later Fox walks into Theresa's room to find her in bed.
"Hey beautiful wake up."
"I am awake."
"Oh what are you doing?"
"Just thinking."
"Really about what?"
"About us. It's been 5 months Fox."
"Yes I know and its our anniversary today remember?"
"Of course. How could I forget?"
" I want to make it special."
"Oh really? How do you plan on doing this?"
"That's a surprise.
"Ok. Umm... Listen Fox. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Yeh, What is it?"
"I want everyone to know that we're intimately dating. I hate walking around and not being able to tell people about the wonderful man I have found. I want to tell them about you, how you gave my life back to me and how you made my world a better place. I want the world to know that Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald has found her light and soul mate, the one who stole my heart. I want them to share my joy."
Fox looked at her completely amazed that she felt that way about him. Never in his wildest dreams had he never expected Theresa to return his feelings so strongly. It made him feel so good to have such an impact on a person especially the one woman he had ever and ever would love. This was the first time Fox had ever been touched so deeply. All the emotion was caught up in his throat.
"Ok Theresa, we'll tell them tomorrow night."
"Alright." she said smiling brightly.
"Oh, by the way I have something for you."
"Ooh, what is it?"
"Take a look."
He handed her a box. She hadn't noticed he had been holding a box the entire time she had been talking to him. She looked at it and wondered what it was. As she opened it her eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh, Nicholas! It's beautiful!"
It was a dress and a golden locket on top of it.
"You're welcome. Did you just call me Nicholas?"
"Yes I think it suits you just as well as Fox. Do you mind?"
"Of course not."
"Besides since no one calls you Nicholas it could be my name for you."
"Why don't you go try on the dress?"
"Ok." she said as she headed for the bathroom.
When she came out she heard Fox's intake of breath. Fox looked very pleased. He knew the dress would fit her perfectly. It hugged every curve on her body.
"You know you take my breath away?"
"Thank you," she said as she planted a kiss on his lips.
"Shall we, my lady?" he asked offering his arm.
She took it and they made their way downstairs. As they were about to open the door and exit the mansion Ethan came up behind them.
"Where do you think you're going with her Fox?"
"It's none of your business Ethan." Theresa said dryly answering for Fox.
He turned his attention to her. His jaw dropped open. She looked beautiful. She was wearing a one-shoulder dress that hugged her every curve. It fluttered all the way down to her knees. It exposed most of her tanned skin. He hair was tied up in a bun and there were some that had escaped the bun and they formed a frame around her face that made her look dangerously angelic. Something else grabbed his attention. She was wearing a gold locket. It lay upon her chest. Ethan stared at it.
* I never gave that to her. Where did she get it? She must have gotten it from Fox. * Ethan thought to himself still staring at Theresa's chest.
"Ethan." Fox snapped him out of his thoughts.
"What do you want?"
"You're drooling Ethan. That's for dogs to do. I'd advise you to stop especially if it's Theresa you're drooling over. She is no longer yours so get over her."
"Come on Nicholas, let's go."
*Nicholas? Did she just call him Nicholas? *
Fox and Theresa didn't give Ethan a chance to answer. They weren't going to let him ruin this day for them. They walked out of the mansion hand in hand. While they were driving Fox pulled over to the side of the road.
"What are you doing?"
"I forgot to give you this," he said handing her a long piece of silk.
"I don't get it." Theresa said clearly confused.
"Put it on so you don't see where were going."
"Oh. That's not fair," But nonetheless she did as she was told.
They drove on for a couple more minutes until they stopped again.
"Are we there yet?" she asked dying to see where they were.
"We sure are. Let me help you out." he said as he went over to her side and helped her out of the car.
He helped her walk the few paces to the place. As they entered the place Theresa smelled one of her favorite smells.
"Yummy peaches."
Fox stood behind her and go ready to take off the blindfold.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
He took it off and heard her gasp. She looked around and she couldn't recognize where they were. Nonetheless it was beautiful. There were peach candles covering every inch of the walls around them. The floor was completely covered by rose petal and just above them were a couple of flying doves. Theresa's favorite birds.
"All this for me?" Theresa asked as tears streamed down her face. "It looks beautiful Nicholas."
"I tried. I'm glad to see you like it."
"Like it? I love it. I love you!" she said as she pulled him into a passionate kiss. After a while he pulled away.
"Theresa you don't know how much this is tempting but that's for later. How's about you show that little sexy dance?"
"You mean the tango?"
"Yeh. That one."
"Ok, but it would be better if we had music to dance to."
"As you wish." Fox said and with a snap of his fingers a young man came out with his guitar (A/N: I don't know what those kind of guitars are called.)
Theresa and Fox dance as if the man wasn't even there. It was their special time together and no one could take it away. After dancing Fox brought Theresa to another Identical to the one they were in before but this time there was a table in the middle. On the table were several meals that just happened to be Theresa's ultimate favorites.
"Dinner is served." Fox said trying to imitate a French accent.
Theresa laughed as Fox pulled out a chair for her and sat down himself. She was so amazed that Fox would have spent so much time and energy on her.
"How could I ever repay you Nicholas?"
"Well only the best for the woman of my dreams and you wouldn't have to repay me. Remember love doesn't take it gives, you told me that one day." he replied as he looked at here admiringly.
"Well let's eat!"
By the end of dinner Theresa and Fox were both full. They had laughed, talked and kissed, as they were old lovers separated for lifetimes.
"Let's go home Theresa."
So they did and they spent the rest of the night declaring their love for one another.

A/N: I thought I would get more reviews for the last chapter. Try and read it and this one too and review them both.
