Chapter 11
Their lips just touched softy at first. Fox felt like he was taking advantage of her. He was getting ready to end it when Theresa wrapped her hands around his neck, deepening the kiss. He began to suck on her lower lips, his tongue begging for an entrance till she finally opened her mouth letting him explore her.
Before the kiss got more intense Fox ended it. "I'm sorry Resa, I shouldn't have done that.
"No you shouldn't have said Ethan with his arms crossed over his chest. "I knew you would use this as a chance to take advantage of her. Have you no shame. This woman has amnesia."
"Fox did not take advantage of me Ethan said Theresa in a very annoyed voice. "I wanted him to kiss me as much as he did."
"Theresa, remember what we talked about."
Flashback
"Theresa stay away from Fox if you know what's good for you. Before you lost your memory we used to be happy together until Fox and Chuck came into our lives. I want us to be together again. When you go home tell Fox that you want to be with me."
"I'm not sure if I really want to be with you. I don't feel any feelings for you at all. I have feelings for Fox. I'm sorry Ethan but we can't be together." Ethan grabbed Theresa.
"Listen to me. You will tell Fox that you want to be with me. You will get back your feelings for me eventually when you get your memory back."
"Ethan, you're hurting me."
"Am I Theresa? You haven't felt anything yet. If you don't tell Fox you will be feeling worse than what I'm doing to you now."
"Ethan, please stop." Ethan held on to her tighter. "Let go of me. I will not tell Fox that I want to be with you."
"Then you will have to suffer the consequences."
"No please don't hurt me. I'll tell Fox."
"I knew you would." Ethan pulled Theresa too him and kissed her. He grabbed her hands so she will stop pounding on his chest. Then he let her go.
"Ugh! You are a sick man Ethan" Yelled Theresa.
"By the way if you tell anyone what we've just talked about that will be the last things you have ever said." And you will respect me and do as I please." Tears started to fall down Theresa's cheeks. Ethan wiped them from her cheek. "Don't cry Theresa, this is for the best. You'll get over Fox and we will get married, have children, and lead a wonderful life in Florida. '
"Florida? We're moving to Florida."
"Of course we are. I wouldn't like you living in the same town as Fox. He will try to win you back."
"You are one piece of work Ethan. If you love me so much shouldn't you want me to be happy even if it wasn't with you?" "I do love you and love me. You want to be with me, you just don't know it yet. Someday you will be thanking me."
"I don't think so Ethan. I have to go. Good bye." Theresa slammed the door.
End of Flashback
"Of course I remember Ethan. How would I forget?" Theresa said nervously and turned to Fox. "Look there is something I need to tell you Fox."
"What is it Theresa?"
"Look. When you kissed me, I remembered my feelings and love for Ethan," Theresa lied. "I just finally realised how much I love him and want to be with him. In fact, we both decided to move to Florida."
Fox felt like someone just tore out his heart. "Wow. To think that I actually thought that you would get over Ethan. You could never stop loving him can you? Even when you have amnesia you remember loving him. Have a great life with E-dumb." Fox turned away then turned back around. "Just to let you know Theresa, you wanted so much to be loved but if you run back to Ethan you will never be loved the way you always wanted to be." With that said Fox stormed off.
"He's wrong Theresa. I will be here to love you the way you want to be loved," said Ethan placing his hand on her shoulder. Theresa smiled sadly at him. "Come on, I'll help you pack your things." Ethan and Theresa went inside and went upstairs to Theresa's room. When Ethan and Theresa walked through the door they gasped.
"Chuck? What are you doing here?" Asked Ethan angrily.
"I came to tell Theresa that I was sorry what I have done to her and that I am leaving town." Chuck looked at Theresa one more time and walked out of her life wishing her the best.
"Looks like everything is working out for the best. Fox and Chuck are out of your life and we'll be together living in Florida. You can finally start you're career in fashion and I can open up my law firm."
"Maybe. Let's just start packing." Ethan and Theresa began to pack her clothing. When they finished Ethan loaded her luggage along with his and drove to the airport. He bought plane tickets and they both jumped on a plain.
"Don't worry Theresa I left a note for your family and Gwen. As soon as we get settled down we will tell them where we live and they'll come and visit us."
"Thanks Ethan. You know, maybe you're right. Maybe I will fall in love with you all over again and start a new happy life."
"I knew you understand." Ethan kissed her on her forehead.
5 months later Ethan and Theresa got married. Theresa turned out to be a very successful fashion designer. She is now one of the top designers in the country. Ethan's law firm is doing very well. They both wanted to go back home and tell everyone the great news so they decided they would return to Harmony.for good.
Gwen and Hank got married also and are expecting a baby girl.
"Hank! I just got a phone call from Theresa exclaimed Gwen happily. "She said that she's coming back for good and that she has very good news."
"That's great honey. I haven't seen Theresa for a while. She left all of a sudden and with Ethan. Who knew that would happen. I always thought she would end up with Fox. And poor Fox ever since Theresa left he has never moved on. All he does is work."
"I know, but who knows maybe this will give them another chance at love" said Gwen taking a seat on Hank's lap.
"I hope so."
"Wait a minute I have a great idea."
"What is it?"
"We will throw Theresa and Ethan a welcome home party."
"Great idea. When are they arriving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Great that give them lots of time," said Hank sarcastically.
"Well I have a little trick. Theresa gave me the address of their new house they will be staying at. If I can tell everyone tonight and set up everything this party will be a great success."
"One problem. Are you going to invite Fox?"
"Of course I am. He needs to deal with the fact that Theresa has moved on but I never really found out how it happened."
"Maybe we will." Gwen signed.
"Anyway I have to start calling everyone."
"You do that and I'll arrange the decorations and catering. "
"Thanks honey." Gwen gave Hank a quick kiss on the lips and they both started working.
Meanwhile.
Fox was sitting at his desk reading an article on Theresa. When he finished it he picked up a picture of her that was sitting on his desk. "5 moths later and that kiss still haunts me," said Fox to himself. The phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello? Hi Gwen. What? She's coming back.. to stay? Ok I will. Bye." Fox hung up the phone and reread the article.
In Florida
"Ethan have you finished packing?" Asked Theresa nervously.
"Yes honey I did. Don't worry it will be fine."
"I haven't seen my family in five months Ethan. I will not be fine. What if they don't forgive me? What if mama disowns me? What if they never talk to me again?"
"Don't worry. Everything will be all right. I bet they're excited to know that you're coming home."
"You're right Ethan. But how do I deal with Fox? I broke his heart." "No you didn't Theresa. He was just trying to get you in bed."
"I guess."
"Listen, we are moving back to Harmony tomorrow and no one will ruin it for us. It's getting late and we have a very busy day tomorrow so let's get some rest ok?"
"Ok Ethan." Theresa kissed Ethan goodnight and fell asleep.
Next Day
Theresa and Ethan were coming off the plane. Ethan spied hank waiting for them. Theresa and Ethan walked over to Hank. 'Hey Hank" greeted Ethan hugging Hank. Theresa hugged Hank after Ethan did.
"I think you guys should visit you're new house and drop off your luggage. Before you go and see you're family."
"Hank um our house is fully furnished and our luggage were sent already."
"Then just show me your new house."
"Alright then."
"Ethan why don't you and Theresa take a walk and then go home?"
"Ok. I'll just call a limo."
"See you later bye!" Hank drove off.
*:*:*:*:*:*
"Hank is everybody here yet?'
"Yes everybody is here but Fox."
"What! Where is he?"
"Right here answered Fox just walking in.
"Fox! Thank God you're here. Theresa is going to be here in five minutes."
"Chill Gwen it's just a surprise party."
Gwen rolled her eyes and arranged the presents from biggest to smallest.
"Um honey, shouldn't your present be second instead of first?" Gwen gave him a don't mess with me look. He backed away and went to go and talk to Luis and Charity.
Gwen looked out the window. "They're here! Hide everyone went into a place to hide but Fox. He just went into the kitchen.
As soon as the door opened everyone yelled surprise.
"OMG! Guys I can't believe you did this for me said Theresa happily. Gwen walked up to her and hugged her tightly.
God she looks more beautiful then the mast time I saw her thought Fox.
I've missed you so much said Gwen with tears starting to fall.
"Don't cry Gwen. I'm here to stay and you're going to have to get used to me." Gwen smiled and hugged her.
"Can we hug her now? asked Luis.
"Sure." Gwen let go of Theresa.
Luis, Miguel, Antonio, Sheridan, Beth, Charity, Sam, Ivy, and Julian hugged her and Ethan.
"Where's mama?"
"She went to go and visit Paloma at Aunt Maria's."
"When is she coming back?"
"She will be returning in a month answered Luis.
"Oh." Theresa trailed off. "I was just so excited to see her."
"Oh honey I'm so sorry but she didn't know you were coming" said Gwen putting her arm around her.
"It's ok. I'll just see her next month. So.you went through all this trouble just for Ethan and I?
"Duh"
"I heard that you and hank are expecting a girl."
"Yes we are.
"Congratulations."
"Ethan and I have great news. We got married." Fox turned pale and began to drink scotch.
"Congratulations you too. Everyone congratulated the two married couple.
After awhile Gwen went up to Theresa.
"Thank you. Theresa may you please do me a favour?"
"What is it?"
"Open you're presents. I'm just dying to tell you what I got you.
"All right."
"She's going to open the presents!" Gwen shouted across the room. All the ladies gathered around her as they sat on the couch.
"Here, this is from me."
"Theresa opened it. Gwen!" I was a short red nightgown that would expose a lot of skin.
"This is for you and Ethan. If you get what I mean. All the girls giggled. Fox over heard and drank more scotch.
After they finished opening presents they began to talk.
"I'll be right back said Theresa getting up and heading over to the men. Fox turned around and walked into the kitchen so she wouldn't see him. Luis noticed. "Hey Ethan. Theresa kissed him.
"Theresa we don't interrupt you're little girlie parties do we? Teased Luis.
"Very funny. Look Ethan the girls invited me to their girl's night out.
"Oh no said all the men who surrounded them."
"What's so bad about the girls night out?"
"They get together for a sleep over and talk about all these things while we sit around and do nothing answered Antonio.
"Oh. What time are you leaving?"
"Seven. The guys will fill you in. Bye." Theresa walked inside the kitchen to get something to drink.
"Fox?" Fox turned around. "I didn't know you came. Why didn't you come and say hi?"
"I was just too nervous" he answered quickly. Theresa hugged him tightly.
"I missed you so much Fox.
"I've missed you too."
"So how are things back in Harmony?
"Great."
"That's good."
"Why don't you come and join us girls instead of hanging around with guys wondering what we're doing."
"Only for girls."
"Oh right. Alister called me today. He offered me a job in the fashion department. For some reason he wanted me to ask you if that will be ok."
Fox knew why Alister told Theresa to ask him. "I don't know he lied. It's ok. Besides why wouldn't I want to work with the top fashion designer in the country?"
"Exactly." Theresa heard Gwen call for her. "I have to get going now. See you tomorrow." Theresa turned around and exited the kitchen.
"If you only knew how much I still love you Theresa. If you only knew." Fox went back outside to talk with Luis.
