Twist of Fate
……………………………………………
Suspicious Mind
"Fox?" Theresa asked again. "Are you going to tell me who she is?"
"Let's just head on home first and I'll tell you once we get there." Fox said.
"You better," She said, getting into the car.
We'll just see…
(Back at their luxurious apartment)
"What are the possibilities that Ethan and Gwen wound up being in the same restaurant as us??" Theresa asked as Fox unlocked the front door.
"Aw Theresa, please don't begin with that whole Fate stuff. At least lay off the subject on Ethan. I've had enough of him tonight," Fox groaned.
"You're right. I'm sorry. I'll just save all this up for Whitney later," Theresa gently patting his back.
"Whitney??" Fox said in alarmed as he noticed her sitting on the couch.
"I thought you were at the studio Whit," Theresa said.
"You were right Fox. I should've just came with you tonight," Whitney said, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"You could've called me. I told you, you could." Fox said.
"Come with us?" Theresa asked herself. That doesn't make any sense…, Theresa thought. Fox was suppose to bring his mystery woman so I could meet her tonight…he didn't say anything about bringing Whitney…
'What's wrong?" Fox asked, concerned for his dear love. He inadvertently ignored Theresa's question.
"It's nothing really. I'm just overreacting."
"NO honey, what's the matter? You seem a bit down," Theresa said, gently putting her hand on her shoulder.
"Vivian, Chad's boss, made him stay for a couple more hours so I figured I should just go home. I realize there was no point of me hanging around at the studio." Whitney said.
"Why didn't you call me?" Fox asked, now rubbing her back. I'm here for you Whitney. Theresa watched his gesture with a suspicious mind.
"I didn't want to interrupt your dinner."
"Oh someone did that for us, Whit," Theresa said.
"I wouldn't have mind coming over to the studio. I told you I'd be more than happy," Fox reminded her.
"I know."
"So what do you mean, Theresa?" Whitney asked.
"Guess who we bumped into at the restaurant…" Theresa told her they bumped into Gwen and Ethan.
"Fate's working her charm again." Theresa said.
There goes the crazy one, ready to babble inconsistently about Ethan and Fate…I don't want to hear this.
"Before you go any further Theresa, I'm going to leave." Fox interrupted.
"Fine fine," Theresa waited for him to leave to resume. After he left, Theresa explained the whole scene at the restaurant to Whitney.
"I'm just glad they didn't get into a fight," Whitney said
"Verbally they did. But Whitney, can't you see? Fate has done it again. She has brought me and Ethan together…I mean what could explain that fact that we ended up in the same restaurant?? It's not just coincidence." Theresa said happily.
"Theresa…you've got to let go."
"Whitney how can I when every time I try, Fate works her magic…"
"No Theresa. Sweetie, I don't want you to raise your hopes up. You've just got to deal with the fact that Ethan and Gwen are going to be together for a very long time." Whitney told her.
"Whitney, you are wrong. I believe Ethan still loves me and one day we will be together." Theresa said confidently.
"Theresa, you are my best friend and I hate seeing you always getting hurt. Let him go. To be completely truthful and I'm saying this because I care about you, you deserve someone who will love you as much as you love Ethan right now. A man who's willing to give you his heart."
Theresa smiled and embraced Whitney in a friendly hug.
"That meant a lot coming from you, Whit. But I can't give up now. I just can't. But for your benefit, I'll try. No more me getting worked up over Ethan." Theresa said.
"Thank you." Whitney smiled. Hopefully she keeps her promise, she thought. Theresa deserves a much better man. I mean every time she sees Ethan, she gets overjoyed and starts back to where she was. Constantly thinking she will be with Ethan but the problem is, Ethan and Gwen are together now and it looks as if they're staying together for a while.
"Fox invited you to dinner?" Theresa asked, after a few moments.
"Hmm?" Whitney asked, not hearing her.
"Tonight, Fox wanted you to come to dinner with us?" Theresa repeated.
"Yeah…But I told him I'd stay at the studio until Chad finishes up."
"I guess he wanted you to meet the mystery woman too," Theresa said.
"Mystery woman? She was at dinner?"
"Well that was the original plan but Fox said that something came up and she couldn't make it." Theresa explained.
"Oh. Yeah I've been wanting to meet her."
"Fox didn't mention you were coming along," Theresa said. He specifically said, it was just going to be him, his mystery woman, and me.
"Well maybe it's because he found out I wasn't coming and it never came up." Whitney said.
"Maybe…" That still doesn't justify why Fox never told me about Whitney joining us…but why am I thinking too much about this? It's not like it's a possibility that maybe…but Fox denied that…
"I don't know why Fox is keeping her from us. I mean all we want to know is her name." Whitney said, breaking Theresa's chain of thoughts.
"Yeah…I'm not sure either. You know what, Whit, I'm feeling a little tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow morning. You should get some sleep too," Theresa said. I'm going to go talk to that sly man. He promised a little something tonight and he better not break that.
"Yeah but I'll probably end up waiting for Chad. Good night Theresa," Whitney said as she walked off to her room. Theresa on the other hand, headed down to Fox's room.
