Once outside, Ethan decided to wander the Crane grounds. As he stopped to look around at the darkness before him, he heard voices. It was then that he realized one of the voices belonged to Theresa. Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He strained to hear what she was saying. Curiously, Ethan followed her voice. Once he found where she was, he stopped dead in his tracks.
She's with Fox. He thought again sadly. Why am I not surprised.
Ethan saw Theresa sink into Fox's arms. He was jealous, for he wanted to hold Theresa himself. I've lost you. Ethan told Theresa silently. Ethan was about to walk away when Audrey made her appearance. Intrigued, Ethan decided to stay put.
"What are you doing?" Audrey asked again crossing her arms.
What's it look like I'm doing Audrey? Theresa thought angrily. I was going to tell Fox that I loved him, but no. You had to mess everything up. Theresa glared at Audrey.
"We're talking." Fox said plainly.
"Well, it didn't look like JUST talking to me." Audrey said.
"What does it matter to you anyway, Audrey?" Theresa asked.
"I was just curious." Audrey replied.
"Uh-yeah." Theresa smirked. Right.
Audrey walked up to Fox and stroked his arm. "I was looking for you," she cooed in his ear. "I had a very special surprise for you. In fact, it's right underneath this robe." Audrey whispered.
"Audrey- not now." Fox shrugged her off. "Theresa and I were talking and you interrupted us. I dunno about you Theresa, but I'd like to finish our conversation."
Theresa wanted to leap for joy. Haha Audrey. Theresa tossed her a look of victory.
"I would LOVE to finish our conversation, Fox. I had something very important to tell you, but we were interrupted."
All the while, Ethan watched Audrey, Fox, and Theresa. What is Audrey up to? He asked himself. Hmm..looks like she wants Fox for herself, but Theresa has proven to be a tough obstacle. "Interesting." Ethan mumbled aloud.
"Oh." Audrey replied stiffly. "Then I'll leave you two to talk." Audrey turned to walk away then stopped. "Oh Fox," she sang not turning around. "Don't be too long, I've got some thing I want to show you." She turned her head and gave Fox a seductive look. With a flip of her hair, she walked away. Ethan watched her and decided that he wanted to have a little talk with her. Maybe she'll be just the thing that will help me get Theresa back. He thought his hopes slowly rising again.
"Ugh." Theresa said as Audrey walked away. I've got something to show you too, Audrey. Theresa thought angrily. My fist in your face.
"So, where were we?" Fox asked interrupting Theresa's angry thoughts.
Theresa's anger was immediately replaced. "Well," Theresa put her arms around Fox's neck. "There was something I had to tell you." She smiled.
"And what would that be?" Fox asked softly leaning down. There lips were inches apart and Fox fought the urge to kiss her.
"Fox Crane," Theresa began. "I think I love you."
"You THINK you love me?" Fox asked frowning slightly.
"No, scratch that. I KNOW I love you Fox Crane." Theresa said staring deeply into his eyes.
"That's great." Fox said. "Because to put it frankly, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. I KNOW I love you too." Fox leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on Theresa's lips. Theresa sank back into his arms. She sighed happily. So this is love, Fox thought contentedly.
