Theresa hummed to herself as she mopped the floor. The kiss that she had shared with Fox last night was perfect, but she didn't want to jump into a new relationship yet. She needed to watch her back for Tony and she was only 98.9% over Ethan. She had just finished the floor and was about to leave the room when someone said,
"What song are you humming?"
Theresa jumped, and turned around to see Fox grinning at her. She smiled back, "You just love to sneak up on people, don't you?"
"I guess you can call it that." he said. He walked a little closer to her, "What's your name? I don't think you ever told me."
Theresa put the mop in the bucket and then looked at him, "Its Theresa."
"Theresa." he repeated, it was such a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman.
Just then, Ivy entered the room. "Hello Theresa!" she then turned to Fox, "Fox."
Theresa said hello and Fox just muttered something under his breath.
"Can I speak to you for a second?" Ivy asked.
Theresa nodded and followed Ivy into another room.
"You did such a wonderful job with helping me last night, Theresa."
"Thank you." Theresa replied.
"That's what I want to talk to you about." Ivy began, "How would you like to work with me? Like become my assistant? I could pay you well, and you could get good benefits, and you could start right away."
Theresa had to contain herself from grabbing Ivy into a hug. She was getting tired of being a maid and she would love to be her assistant. "I'd love to!"
"Great!" Ivy said smiling, "When would you like to start?"
"Well," Theresa paused to think, "I think I can on the beginning of next week because this weekend I'm moving into my own place."
"Ohh. A house?"
"Condo." Theresa said grinning. "I need the room, I don't want to take up Mama's house because have Ethan and everything."
Ivy nodded, "I'll see you Monday then!"
"Monday!" Theresa said after her. When Ivy was out of sight she clapped her hands together in excitement.
"What are you so happy about?" Fox asked interrupting her.
Theresa was startled again, "Gosh! You scared me again!" she said putting her hand over her heart.
"You should get used to it by now." he said flirting with her.
"Meaning?" she flirted back.
Fox opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted by Pilar.
"Theresa, I'm leaving. Are you coming? You have to get everything moved into the condo."
"Oh! Yes! The condo!" she said remembering she was going to start moving in today.
"You're moving?" Fox asked.
"Yes, into my own condo." she said excitedly.
"Who's moving you? Cause if you need help, I can help." he offered.
Theresa's eyes lit up, "Really! Yeah! That would be great, I could move in sooner...maybe tonight...Thank you! I could just kiss you!" she said, but then stopped at her last phrase.
Fox blushed and looked down at the ground thinking of the kiss they had last night.
Pilar looked at both of them and broke the silence, "So are you two coming? We have work to do."
They both nodded and followed Pilar out the door.

Theresa closed the door and flopped down on the sofa in her new condo. "Ah! It feels so good to have my own place again!" she exclaimed to Fox. Everyone had left except for them.
He sat down on the couch next to her. "Wish I could say the same thing."
"You have a whole mansion...shared with other people, but its probably the same as having your own place."
"Nah, its hard to go to sleep at night with everything going on."
Theresa giggled, "You mean with Julian and Rebecca?"
Fox nodded and then shuddered. "I don't even want to think about it."
Theresa smiled and an akward silence filled the room.
"Theresa?"
"Hmm?"
"Can I ask you something?" Fox asked.
"Sure." she said turning to look at Fox.
"Did you feel anything in that kiss last night...I'm just wondering."
Theresa tried to find the words to answer his question, "If I said no I would be lying, but if I said yes then I'd be scared."
"Scared?" Fox said shifting his position on the sofa. "Why would you be scared?"
"Because, I don't know. Its just weird to feel that feeling when I'm still trying to get over someone. I don't even know if I can call my relationship with Tony something to get over."
"Oh." Fox replied, "Well I want you to know that the kiss doesn't mean anything. It just...happened. So we can stay friends right?" he kicked himself at saying that they would stay friends.
"Yeah. Friends." Theresa said a little disappointed.
"Well." Fox said standing up. "I should go now."
Theresa stood up and gave him a quick hug. "Thanks so much for helping me with moving! You don't know how much it means to me."
"And you don't know how much you mean to me." he whispered under his breath. "No problem." he said, he pointed to the door and rushed to get out before he had the urge to kiss her, "Bye."
And with that he was gone. Theresa leaned against the door, "Bye Fox. I hope we can be more then friends." she whispered. She sighed and then went into Ethan's room to check on him.
"What song are you humming?"
Theresa jumped, and turned around to see Fox grinning at her. She smiled back, "You just love to sneak up on people, don't you?"
"I guess you can call it that." he said. He walked a little closer to her, "What's your name? I don't think you ever told me."
