"Are you ok?" Fox asked as he and Theresa got into his car.

"Yeah. I don't really want to talk about it right now." she said tensely.

"Fine with me.'' he said quietly.

"I would have slapped Gwen if it wasn't for the condition she's in." Theresa finally said.

"Oh." Fox said quietly.

"I mean, who does she think she is to tell me who is on and off limits to me? The only reason why Ethan married her in the first place was because she's pregnant, she's so dumb to not be able to see that! He wanted nothing to do with her until NOW." she said waving her hands in the air. "And Ethan. Ethan tried to put on this Mr. I'm-not-going-to-let-you-talk-to-my-wife-like-that act. I'm suprised she didn't rag him down because he didn't tell her about us. They act as if I'm the tin man from the Wizard of Oz. Like they can say anything and treat me any kind of way, but I have feelings! And it just...it just hurts so much." she said beginning to cry.

"Woah there." Fox said pulling into a parking lot. When he parked the car he took off his seat belt and put his arms around Theresa.

"Ethan looked so hurt when I told him I didn't want him anymore." she whispered.

"You shouldn't let that get to you, remember? You're Miss Independent here." he said.

"I know but its just so hard sometimes. I meet these really great guys but I'm too scared to start a relationship because I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt again. Ethan hurt me so much that I just can't help but hate men when I see them because they remind me of him."

"So you hate me?" Fox joked.

"No, you're different." Theresa laughed.

"I know something that can cheer you up." Fox said.

"What?" Theresa asked sitting up.

"Drink up." Fox said slamming down a mug of beer in front of Theresa.

"You...you aren't serious are you?" Theresa said staring at it.

"Yeah...whats wrong with a drink?" Fox asked grinning.

"I've never drunk before." she replied.

"Well, nows a good time to. It'll get your mind off of everything." Fox said pushing it closer to her.

"I don't think I can." she said as a wash of fear, nervousness, and excitement overtook her. "I mean, I want to, but I just can't."

"You said that about the motorcycle but you had fun." Fox said tempting her.

"This is different." she said biting the side of her lip.

"Yeah, its less dangerous."

"Ok, I'll try it." she finally said. "Here goes." she slowly lifted the mug to her lips and sipped it. "It has a weird taste." she said after a while.

"Oh come on! You sipped it, you have to take big gulps like this." Fox took his mug and took a huge gulp of the beer.

"Right." Theresa said as her eyes widened. She looked at the mug, "Big gulps." She took a deep breath and gulped down some of the beer.

"There you go!" Fox said hitting her on the back.

Theresa covered her mouth and finally swallowed it. "Fox! Why did you do that? I almost spit it back up!" she said hitting him.

"I do that to all my friends." he replied. "How are you feeling?"

"I don't feel anything yet." she answered.

"You will soon." he said handing her a mug.

Theresa sighed and took another gulp of the mug.

"Ooooh, you are one sexy SEXY man!" Theresa slurred to a man that sat down next to her.

"You're not too bad yourself." he said looking at her.

"Too bad that I hate men!" she said laughing. "I'm Miss Independent...ain't that right Fox?" she asked hitting Fox on the back.

"Yeah." Fox said amused at how Theresa acted when she was drunk. He then remembered the bet and said, "Tell him one of your insults."

"One of my insults..." she said thinking. "Oh! How about this one! You can want but you can't have!"

"That was so lame." Fox said covering his face.

"Do you want to know my secret?" she asked the man.

"Sure." he replied.

"Well," she said leaning in. "First you have to give the man eye contact. Then inside your mind you have to think 'Baby, I want you and you want me!' and it works! Men usually jump out of there seats!" she giggled.

"I should be going now." the man said quickly getting out of his seat.

"Wait!" Theresa yelled behind him. "I wasn't finished!"

"But you're finished now." Fox said getting up and putting his arm around her. "Let's get you home."

"But I don't wanna go hoooooome." she whined.

"Its not about what you want to do or not, now come on." he said dragging her out of the bar.

"Fox, can I spend the night with you?" she asked as she wobbled her way to the car.

"Why do you want to do that?" he asked.

"Because I'm feeling sexy tonight and I want to be with you!" she slurred.

"Nope. You're drunk." he said lowering her into the car.

"Please!" she begged as he got in the car. "Its just between me and you!" she giggled and reached across and gave Fox a giant kiss on the cheek. "Mwuah!"

"I always tell people I hate juicy kisses!" Fox said in disgust as he wiped the beer off of his cheek.

Theresa just laughed giddily and wiped her mouth. "What about this?" She suddenly grabbed Fox and kissed him passionately on the lips.

"Wow." Fox said after she pulled away.

"I knew you would like it." she laughed. "I'm a good kisser! Kiss kiss!"

"Ok, you can spend the night with me ONLY because I don't want your family finding out that you're drunk because of me. Nothing happens, got that?" he asked.

"Yeah. Thank you Fox." she said grinning.

______________________________________________________________________________

"Are you sleep-" Fox stopped in midsentence when he saw that Theresa wasn't in the guest room. "Oh man, where did she go?" he said to himself as he ran around looking for her like a lost puppy. "Theresa?" There was no answer so he went into his room. Theresa suddenly jumped out of the corner of his door onto him and kissed him. "There you are." he said pushing her away.

"Were you looking for me?" she asked pouting.

"Yeah, I thought I told you to go to bed." he said as if he were talking to a 5 year old.

"But I wanna sleep with YOU!" she whined.

"You can't, you're drunk." he answered as he tried to pull her out of the room but she pushed him and walked back into the room. Fox sighed and walked back into his room.

"Fox." Theresa said calling him.

"What?" he said looking at her.

When she realized that she had his attention she slowly unzipped her dress and slipped it off and stood in front of Fox with nothing but her underwear.

Fox eyes immediately popped open as he stared at her beautiful body. "Wow." he said after a few seconds.

Theresa slowly walked up to him and kissed him on the neck. "I don't want to sleep in an empty room by myself." she whispered.

Fox stood stiffly so that he wouldn't give into Theresa but he found it too hard so he finally gave in.
