Fox happily searched through his closet whistling as he went along. He was in happy spirits, his father seemed to FINALLY have matured, and most importantly, the woman he loved was coming back to him. He could feel it in his very bones. She was only pushing him away because she was afraid but he knew she still loved him.
Finally, he found his suit and began to dress. He stripped down to his boxers and was putting on his slacks when the door flung open.
"Hey, Fox... oh my God! I am so sorry, I didn't know you were still dressing, I'll just go." Theresa said, her cheeks flushed.
Fox finished zipping up his pants and wasn't the least bit fazed. He was taught long ago never to be embarrassed with women. It would just show weakness. He began putting on his shirt as Theresa tried turning away, embarrassed. She kept turning slightly to get a look at Fox.
Fox caught Theresa's eye and thought about Gwen. Maybe he should tell her to leave until he finished changing. He should have learned his lesson since the first time but since he was almost dressed, he shrugged it off. Theresa was after all, his stepmother. Incredibly gorgeous but that's all she'd ever be.
Fox was putting on his tie when he decided to see what Theresa wanted.
"So Theresa, was there something you wanted?"
"Yes, actually." Theresa sat on his bed and got comfortable.
Fox asked her again. "So what is it?"
"I think I know how to get Ethan back. But I'll need your help. Interested?"
"Maybe. But what do I get out of it?"
"I don't know just yet. But for now, would you do it as a favor to your step mommy?" Theresa winked at him.
Fox laughed and thought about it. He decided to find out what Theresa had in store for Ethan and Gwen before he would help her.
"Tell me the plan you have, and I'll let you know."
"Okay. Ethan and Gwen are not spending that much time together lately, I've noticed. And I figure that all Gwen needs is a little someone to take her mind off of Ethan, and I'll take care of him." Theresa licked her lips as she thought about winning Ethan and seeing the look on Gwen's face.
"That little someone should be you, Fox."
Fox was a little surprised at this but he was also a bit excited. He would get Gwen all to himself and Theresa would be happy with Ethan. Of course he would agree to this plan, it was perfect. But still, he couldn't arouse suspicion with Theresa so he decided to feign innocence.
"Me? Why me?" Fox looked at Theresa, with fake surprise.
"Well, actually, you have to pretend to be interested in me."
This time Fox was genuinely surprised.
"But why?"
"Because, silly... that will make Ethan jealous of you because I know he still loves me. It can't be any other guy because it would be so convenient what with all of us living in the same house. As he tries to 'warn' me about you, I will have him right where I want him. Away from Gwen. Which leaves you to seduce her."
"But wait... why do you want me to seduce Gwen, though? I mean, all I have to do is all very comfy with you and drive Ethan back to you. What does Gwen have to do with this?"
"I want her to suffer. She took Ethan right from under my feet. This is the last time, she won't stand in my way anymore."
Fox was completely bewildered and was kind of nervous about the way Theresa looked excited.
She smiled wickedly and said, "You will treat her with all the utmost respect and even better than Ethan. Sweep her off her feet. Make her fall in love with you. Then you will drive her away from Harmony. She will never want to come back. As soon as you get her to admit her love for you, you will break her heart."
