Theresa finished her cappuccino. She was utterly determined not to let Fox ruin Whitney and Chad's relationship. Theresa decided to return to the apartment. She wanted to speak to Fox as soon as possible. Theresa sincerely hoped that her best friend would not return Fox's love. "But what if she does?" Theresa whispered. What will I do then?
Theresa shook her head, trying to get rid of the horrible scenarios plaguing her mind. She walked quickly- almost breaking into a run. Once she got into the courtyard of the apartments, Theresa stopped to catch her breath. She sat down to collect her thoughts. She tried rehearsing the conversation she would have with Fox.
"Hey there, beautiful" a deep male voice said behind Theresa.
Not recognizing the voice, Theresa quickly turned around. "Do I know you?" she asked the handsome stranger.
"Not yet." The man replied flashing his perfect grin. "Is it hot in here, or is it just you."
Theresa almost laughed. What a cheap line, she thought to herself. "Hello? Anybody there?" The stranger asked waving his hand in front of her.
"Sorry about that." Theresa apologized.
"No problemo. You are one fine looking lady," The stranger continued. He eyed Theresa up and down and lingered on places that made Theresa feel uncomfortable. She hugged her arms close to her. "What do you say me and you take a little rendezvous upstairs?" the man suggested.
Ugh. Theresa thought to herself. He's got the looks, but absolutely no charm. Not like Fox. Fox definitely has both. Theresa froze. Why did I just think that?
"Hey, you all right?" the man asked.
"I have to go." Theresa said. She ran up the stairs, leaving a baffled man behind. "Was it something I said?" he asked aloud, scratching his head.
