Chapter 31: Reports
A month had passed and Charity and Sheridan were home with their kids. The house was crazy and Fox gave Pilar money to have the house extended.
Teresa was still seeing Noah every day and fooling around with him. Teresa still hadn't told Fox. Fox knew something was up though. One morning at work, Fox got the best Private Investigators (PI) in the state to track down Teresa through the day and he wanted a log on her every move and wanted he it in his hands each day at 5pm. He wanted to know why she was acting the way she was. They hadn't made love since that night he had to be really easy with her because he had hurt her the night before. That day, a PI turned a log into Fox. It read:
11am: Mrs. Crane leaves arm-in-arm with a man (identified as Noah Bennett).
12 noon: They arrive at lunch at the Skyline restaurant. 1:30 pm: Mr. Bennett kisses Mrs. Crane (lips w/tongue obviously) and places her in his car. 2pm: Arrival at an apartment complex (identified as his apt.) 4pm: Leave with smiles, handholding, and kissing. Mrs. Crane and Mr. Bennett have obviously changed clothes.
Fox's eyes filled up with tears. He flipped through some pictures of the scenes written down and stored everything in folder, placed it in a cabinet and locked it. He left to go home, to his "faithful and honest" wife.
**Next day**
The next report read the same thing.
**Weeks are going by**
As weeks go by, Fox gets more pictures, some with Noah and Teresa, Noah and the kids, all of them together, and more. Pictures and videos of Teresa and Noah together. It was making him sick. She was keeping it all from him and still sleeping in his bed every night. "What did I do to deserve this?"
**After dinner one night**
Fox and Teresa were watching a movie in their room and she was laying her head on his chest as normal. It went to a commercial and Fox said, "Sweetie, we don't go to lunch or doing anything together anymore. Are you okay?" She became anxious and quickly answered; "I'm fine you're just always at work." "I see. He kissed her forehead, "Well, let's go on a family vacation. You know, just the four of us. We can leave this weekend." "Um, I don't know. I'm not really sure I'd take the twins on a trip just yet." She laughed and kissed his stomach as the movie came back on. He was getting restless. The movie ended and he turned the TV off.
She turned her lamp off and resumed her normal position on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair. She yawned and said, "Good night." "Good night." He kissed her forehead and started to think about how many times Noah must have ran his fingers through her hair or how many times she laid her head on his chest. He was becoming angry and restless. He pulled Teresa up from his stomach and laid her down on her back. He kissed her. She was taken aback but kissed him back. They kept kissing and she started to breath heavy, unintentionally, and he though to himself 'I wonder if breathing heavy is her signal to him also.' She realized what she was doing (the breathing) and stopped. He wanted to love her but he every time he thought of something to do; he asked him self if Noah had done that before or if she had done that with him. He just eventually rolled over to his side again and she didn't think anything of it because he hadn't been "putting out" anyway for a while anyway.
Weeks past and Fox kept getting the same reports about his wife and another man. Fox was devastated. He decided to stay home with Teresa one day, but she made up some lie that she was going to pick Whitney up at the airport. He called in one of his PI's and found out that she was with Noah. He was so hurt. He wanted it all to be over so they could be happy but she wasn't saying a word to Fox about anything. A PI called Fox and said that another man was identified with his wife when she left Noah. The PI described him w/ brownish hair, brownish/dark blue eyes and wearing prep clothes. He instantly knew who it was: Ethan. "Now she's cheating on another cheat? This has gone far enough." He waited for her to get home. He was going to end this stupid charade once and for all.
**Boring? I hope not. R&R. ** Next Chapter: Fox confronts Teresa. Ethan "tries" to put his plan into action, plus surprises for Teresa about Noah.
