CHAPTER 44
Back to Bermuda
Fox got up and gave Teresa one of his shirts to wear. He put a pair of pants on and sat beside her. He looked at her face and took her hand in his.
"What happened. I have to know."
She put her head down.
"It's kind of blurry in my head. But I do remember the feeling of been with you."
"No, Teresa. You said you remembered what happened in Bermuda."
She nodded.
"I remember vaguely when Dylan carried me to your suite."
**********************
Teresa felt someone picking her up from the bed. She opened her eyes a little but didn't recognize the man. Her head was so heavy and her body was numb.
"Where are we going?"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Ok."
She heard a door open then close behind them. He laid her down, then put covers on top of her. She heard the door open and close again.
"Where am I?"
"Who are you?"
She lifted her head and saw a man in her room.
"What are you doing in my room?"
"No, this is my room."
"Oh God, I don't feel so good!"
She got up from the couch and stumbled all the way to the bathroom where he heard her throwing up. Fox got up from his bed and walked with difficulty all the way to the bathroom.
"Are you alright?"
"No, too much alcohol."
He sat beside her on the floor.
"Tell me about it. I don't think I drank this much in my life."
They both started laughing. Teresa got up and went to the sink where she washed her mouth. Then both her and Fox leaned on each other as they walked back in the room. They sat on the bed.
"I came here to help someone and now..."
"I came here because...I don't know why I came here. I guess I just felt like it."
He laid down on his back and stared at her. She somewhat seemed familiar.
"Do I know you?"
"No. Do I know you?"
"If I don't know you then you can't know me."
Teresa looked at him with he eyes half closed. She started laughing again.
"Hey, that actually makes sense."
He laughed and she leaned next to him. He rolled on top of her.
"You beautiful..or at least, I think you are."
She ran her fingers in his hair.
"You think?"
"Well everything that I had to drink is impairing my judgment right now. I know that I want something though."
"And what is that?"
"You?"
"Was that a question or an answer."
He rolled back on his back.
"A little bit of this and a little bit of that."
She seemed to be thinking for a moment.
"You know, when I left home I thought that I could change something that people think I did. But it wasn't me. I don't think he loves me as much as I love him. I don't think he ever did."
"Well maybe he doesn't deserve you then."
She looked at him and he saw that she was crying.
"Maybe you're right. I mean he said the meanest things to me when I didn't do anything to him. I should have told him the truth."
"Well I think he's an idiot."
She laughed in the middle of her tears.
"I think he is too."
They were silent for a moment. She turned to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. A few seconds later it turned into something more.
"If I'm to this, you have to tell me your name."
"Huh, Nicholas. And you?"
"Resa."
They started kissing and soon after the clothes came off.
*********************
Fox seemed somewhat relieved after hearing what Teresa had today about what happened between them.
"I was really worried that I might have taken advantage of you."
"I was as drunk as you were. Doesn't matter now. All I know is that I'm happy to know how our son was conceived."
Fox and Teresa looked at each other and smiled. Something had just happened between them. It was like a new level of comfort. A new closeness. Suddenly, some of the heartache and agony they both felt was gone.
"I think we can really start focusing on other things."
"I think so too."
"So Teresa, what do say we go back to my birthday present?"
She giggled.
"I think we can do that. Where were we?"
"Here, I think."
He kissed her on the neck and soon after they were one.
Fox got up and gave Teresa one of his shirts to wear. He put a pair of pants on and sat beside her. He looked at her face and took her hand in his.
