Chapter 14: Leave me alone
Fox, Teresa, Ally, and Dylan arrived home on a Saturday morning and ate breakfast together at the Book Café. They were so jetlagged it was awful. Ethan walked in looking for Gwen but he had no luck. He spotted Teresa and went and sat down by her, taking Fox's seat. Fox just casually pulled up another seat pulling Teresa close to show Ethan that she was with him.
"So, Ally, how was trip? See any places you liked?" "No, not quite Ethan. We may just get married at the main house." She sighed. Dylan looked at Fox and then at Ally, "We'll get married any place you like sweetie." Ally jumped up and slapped Dylan, "I hate you, Dylan!" and she stormed off to the bathroom. Teresa hopped up from Fox and he covered his face, "No, silly, I'm not going to hit you," she laughed, "I'm going to check on Ally. I'll be back."
"Dude, what the hell did you do?" "I don't know, she's just been weird these past couple of days." "I swear if she calls this wedding off I'm blaming you Dylan." "Shut up Ethan. At least I love the woman I'm with." Teresa came out of the bathroom with Ally crying and she grabbed her purse and kissed Fox's cheek, "I'll see you at home. I'm taking Ally back to the estate. Bye." "Bye, sweetie." Before she left though he pulled her in for a passionate kiss and when he finally let go he stared at Ethan to make sure he got the message. Ethan got up a bit after they left and said, "All right Fox, I got the message, and now I'm leaving. Alistair has me working on this project for Crane Industries, bye." ** 1 hour later **
Ethan walked into Teresa room and she was sitting there flipping through papers on her desk. "Oh hey Ethan." "Hey Teresa. Can we talk?" "Um, yea. Sit down." He sat down. He began to talk to her about how messy Fox was and how he probably didn't really care for her. She went to slap him, but he grabbed her arm and kissed her. At first she fought it, but she eventually gave in. She didn't know why. After awhile, Ethan had seduced her and "bedded her". They fell asleep later and he kissed her cheek and left a note to meet him later in the gazebo. She woke up and started to go crazy. "Oh my God! I cheated on him! I cheated on him! With his half- brother! Oh! This is isn't good!"

**2 Hours later **
Fox walked into Teresa's room and she started throwing a fit. She was yelling at him about him not picking up his clothes or not caring about her. She was going crazy. After an hour of yelling at Fox she grabbed her purse and stormed out of the room leaving Fox stunned sitting on the bed. She said that she had to go to the gazebo and be by herself. He hadn't said a word all hour. He just stared at her in awe. He didn't know what he did wrong. "Maybe Ally's hormones passed onto her when she took her home." Fox just brushed it off and wasn't offended. He cleaned their room and then cleaned the entire house and bought special flowers for her for when she came back.
Teresa walked back into the room madder than ever. She saw the flowers and candles and sighed. Fox came up behind her and kissed her neck. She turned around and slapped his arm. "You think flowers and candles and sex makes it all better? Well you know what Fox! Not this time!" Fox just looked at her. "Oh so now you have nothing to say?" "Teresa, just tell me what's wrong and I promise I'll fix it. Just tell me." "You can't fix it because its YOU!" "Me?" "Did I stutter? Yes, its you." "What did I do?" "Fox. Just leave me alone for a while okay? Go out with Dylan for the night or something, I need to be by myself." "Dime, mi amor, por favor. (This means: Tell me my love, please.)" "NICK! Stop the stupid Spanish stuff! Just go out for the night and sleep at the main house, I can't look at you right now." "But, Teresa," "JUST GO. Leave me alone!"
And with that she walked to the bathroom. He could hear her crying. "I wish she would just tell me what's wrong." He went up the main house and stayed in his room that night. He hadn't slept there since the first night they made love. He couldn't sleep all night he just wondered and wondered about why Teresa was acting this way. He tried to ask Ally, but she blew up on him too and Dylan stayed in a guest room recently because of their problems. He didn't know what was going on. *** Ethan walked down the hall and heard music in Fox's room. He peeked in and saw Fox sitting on the floor thinking really hard. He left the house and walked to Teresa's. She let him in and cried to him about how Fox thought sleeping together would make things better. She was a wreck and Ethan loved being the shoulder to cry on. He kissed her cheek and said, "I know something that will make this better." "What?" "Let's go to the wharf together, you know, take a walk, get some fresh air, talk a bit." She smiled and agreed and so they went off to the wharf. Teresa wanted to stop off at a grocery store and pick up something so Ethan waited outside. She came out and smiled and he wrapped his arm around her and they continued to walk. They stopped to look at the stars and saw Sheridan and Luis walking hand-in-hand. They talked a bit and later left because Luis insisted that Sheridan and he had a rough day since they got back from Bermuda on a vacation. Ethan walked Teresa home and kissed her and waited to see that she got in safely. Walking back to the estate he said, "All right. Phase 1: complete. I bedded Teresa and nothing is right with her and Fox. Just keep it up Ethan and you'll bed her every night."
