* I might pull a "psycho" w/ Ethan so Ethan fans beware!
Chapter 29: Making Plans
Ethan was walking on the Crane grounds and heard Teresa's voice. He followed her voice and heard her talking to someone. Ethan recognized the voice; it was Noah Bennett's. Ethan listened in to hear the conversation:
**Conversation b/w Teresa and Noah **
"So he hit you?"
"Yea, but I didn't hurt." Noah stood up.
"I'm going kill him." Teresa grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Please Noah. Sit. I need to talk with someone."
"Fine."
"He was drunk and I know that's not an excuse, but-"
"Damn right it's not an excuse."
Noah pulled her close to hug her and said, "We should go out to lunch or something, you know, a friend thing, so I'll be in good distance from Fox when I get the details." She laughed. "Okay, where?" "How about The Skyline Restaurant? It's right outside of Harmony." "Okay. Sounds nice. Stay here while I go grab my purse okay?" "Okay."
** Ethan **
"He hit her? I'm going to kill him. How dare he put his hands on her! Ugh! You know what, tonight is the night, I'm going to kill Fox."
**Gazebo**
"Okay, let's go.
"Okay."
They walked to Noah's car and he opened and closed the door for her. He got into the driver's seat and drove to the Skyline. Once they arrived, he genuinely opened the door for her and linked arms with her as they walked in. They were seated and waited on and started to talk again. "So tell me, in full detail, what happened exactly."
"Okay. You sure you can handle it?" She laughed. "Yea, I'm sure." He laughed back. She got serious when she started the story though.
"Okay, he walked into the room and didn't say anything at first and you know, claims that he loves me yadda yadda and we start to fool around. I noticed that he was more aggressive than usual so I told him to slow down but he kept going and going faster and harder and he wasn't listening to me. So I slapped him. Twice. Then he said he was going to make me regret it and flipped out so I eventually got away from him. That's when Dylan called and told me he had been drinking."
"Wait. Who's Dylan?"
"Oh, his best friend. I like him a lot and he really likes me, we get along great."
"Okay."
"Well, that's it. I mean, he woke the next morning and didn't know what happened and I told him and we spent the whole day cuddling and kissing, and we had sex at the end of the day, but he was really gentle."
"Did he force it?"
"No. Stop worrying. I just wanted to talk to someone."
She could see he was pissed and then their lunch came and she was glad. She didn't want to say anymore. After lunch, she and Noah stayed in Salem (town outside of "Harmony") and did what Teresa loved: shopping. It was about 7pm when Teresa said that she better get home. Noah took her home and they talked about the past the whole way home. He let her out and kissed her cheek. "Thanks for a great day, Noah." "Anytime, Teresa, anytime." She kissed him back and went inside with her bags.
She walked in and Miguel and Charity and Trinity and Nikki were watching a movie. She asked Charity if Fox was home and when she said 'no' she asked if she wanted to see all the clothes Noah and her bought. Charity obliged and they ran into Charity's room just incase Fox came home. She left the bags in Charity's closet so Fox wouldn't ask anything and went and watched the movie.
Fox came home and went straight to his room. Teresa looked at Charity and she signaled to go in the room so Teresa did. She walked in and Fox was sitting at the desk with piles of papers and manila folders in front of him. She walked over to him and moved his arm like before he said, "Teresa, sweetie, I'd love to talk right now, but Julian shortened the deadline on the Flinch case and I have to get a move on things." "Okay. Can I sit with you?" "I guess so." "Okay." She sat on his lap. He laughed, "Not here, in another chair." "Aw, but that's no fun!" She laughed and kissed his cheek. "Teresa, really, not right now." "Okay. Fine." She got up and walked around the room. She asked, "Do you mind if I turn the TV on?" "Actually, sweetheart I do." 'Oh. Okay." She got to leave when he said, "Come here!" She walked over to him and he signaled for her to sit on his lap. She sat down and he held her, "Look babe, I'm sorry, but I really have to work right now. I love you, you know." She nodded. He kissed her and said, "Ok. Get out of here." She got up to leave to go back to watch the movie and he grabbed her hand and pulled her in and kissed her again. She smiled and left. He noticed there was something different in her kiss and he was bound to find out why.
**Noah's bedroom**
"I want to call her." He sat there debating whether he should call Teresa for about an hour now.
"I'm going to call her." He picked up his phone and called Pilar's house, praying that Fox wouldn't answer because he knew Teresa would be mad if he gave Fox a piece of his mind.
"Hello?"
"Hey Miguel, is Teresa there?"
"Yeah. Hang on." He handed the phone to Teresa.
"Hello."
"Hey Beautiful."
"Hey, yourself."
"What's up?" "Nothing really." "Is Fox home?" "Yeah." "How are things going with him?" "Okay. He's plastered with work and I left him in the room to work." "Good. Don't put yourself in harms way." "Ugh. Don't say that. That would never happen again."
Miguel looked at Teresa and asked her to take the call somewhere else. She stuck her tongue out at him and he flicked her forehead, "OW!"
"What did he hit you?"
"What. No. Miguel flicked me."
"Oh."
"Hold on, I have to take this call somewhere else."
She got up and switched phones. "There. Okay."
"So, I wanted to know, if you wanted to go and lunch at some other place tomorrow." "Um. I guess so. Let me ask Charity if she can watch the twins again, hold on."
She asked Charity and she agreed to so Teresa told Noah, "Yea, I can go." "Great. I'll pick you up at 11 then?" "Perfect. Bye." "Wait! Teresa! Take care of yourself and be careful." "I will, don't worry." "Okay. Bye." "Bye." She hung up and joined Miguel and Charity on the couch again for the movie.
**Next Chapter: Takes place 5 months ahead. Sheridan and Charity have their babies. The Teresa and Noah storyline gets heated up. Ethan starts tries to work his stupid plans and there may be a fight or two between the other couples in the story. R&R please.
