Chapter 19

Heart To Heart

Fox had went to the place he'd called home for the time being he didn't expect no one to be there.

He went to the refrigerator and pulled out his best bottle of vodka.

"To Ethan and Theresa.", he said in a slurred tone, he'd just been kicked out of The Syyxer, the bar tender had flatly refused to sale him enough drink.

"What's going on ?", Kathelina greeted.

"Life Sucks, Then You Die.", he replied.

"What happened to you ?", she asked.

"Theresa, turned to prince charming to wipe away her tears and Ethan being the airhead he is welcomed her with open arms.", he replied.

"Are you sure, there isn't more to the story ?", she asked.

"No, I saw it with my own to eyes, she and Ethan were kissing like there was no one else in the world.", he replied.

"I just find it hard to believe Theresa would berate you like that, she obviously is in love with you. ", she replied.

"Well, she apparently loves Prince Ethan more, I mean who wouldn't Ethan has got it all, looks, brains and a good job and now he has Theresa's heart.", he replied.

"Don't say that, Fox you're my best brother, In my book Ethan don't hold a light to you. Ethan is stuck up and well he's not that fun to be around.", she replied.

"Thanks Kat, you really have away with words.", he replied.

"Ok, so no more drinking, ok. You're starting to smell like Julian minus the cigars.", Kathelina replied with a smile.

Fox smiled weakly at her. "See, I made you smile. I really ought to get the sister of the year award.", Kathelina replied.

"More like the pest of the year award.", he replied.

"Now, you are acting like father.", she committed.

"And you act like mother, minus the love obsession of a man who doesn't give a rats ass about her. Opps, that's how Miguel fells about you.", he replied.

"Foxworth, now you done it.", Kathelina said pick up a pillow and hitting him in the head.

"Why did you do that, my head was already throbbing.", Fox said rubbing his head.

"Well, that's what you get for acting and smelling like Julian.", she replied with a giggle.

"You're not funny, brutally attacking a injured man isn't one bit funny.", he replied.

"Injured ?", Kathelina asked. "You mean drunk.", she said answering her own question.

"I'm not, drunk. Drunk is when you stagger and talk all slurred.", he replied.

"Like, you're talking now ?", Kathelina asked. "Drunk, Drunk, Drunk.", She sang.

"I'm not drunk, Kat. Yes, I'm bit lit but, I'm not drunk. I can handle my liquor, unlike you.", he replied.

"I don't drank, I'm under age, bro. Remember ?", she asked.

"Nah, the reason you don't drink is because you get drunk fast.", he replied.

"No, I don't.", she replied. "Julian Junior.", she added. "You know momma ought to have called you Julian Junior it would have fit you perfectly." she said get up and pours self a glass of lemonade.

"And she ought to have named you Godzilla.", he replied.

"Nah, it would have sounded right. Godzilla Joanna Crane.", she replied. "Now, Julian Crane Jr. , does sound good.", she replied.

"Ha ha very funny.", Fox replied.

"I know.", she replied. "Do you want some ?", she asked holding up the pitcher of lemonade. "It sure bets what you've been drinking.", she added.

"Sure, but can I have an ibuprofen too.", he replied. "My heads killing me.", he replied.

"Nope, you're just going to suffer it out, Julian Junior.", she replied.

"Please.", he replied.

"Nicholas Foxworth Crane said "Please' what's going to happen ?", she teased.

"You're going wind up, unconscious if you don't give me one of those damn ibuprofens.", he replied.

"You're heads hurting that bad ?", Kathelina asked.

"Yep, so hand over the pills.", Fox said.

"Ok, but, promise me you won't drink no more tonight.", she replied.

"Ok, ok I promise.", he replied.

"Here, ya go.", she replied handing him the pill bottle. "Julian, use to do the same thing when he got drunk, I saw him drink 3 pints of vogue and then take Advil, Ibuprofens, anything he could get his hands on.", she replied.

"Good for him.", he replied, "Speaking of father have you spoken to him or mother?", he asked.

"Yep, last night. Mother dearest is so thrilled to have her baby girl back in her life; she even offered to cook a four-course meal.", Kathelina replied.

"Now, I know your lying. Mother would never be caught dead in an apprehend.", he replied.

"Well, not technical if she thought it would snag her points with Chief Bennett, she'd kill herself trying to make a replica of Grace's terrible Tomato Soup Cake.", Kathelina replied.

Fox laughed at the thought of mother in kitchen.

"So, enough about Momsy, what about you ? Are you going to try to win Miguel Lopez- Fitzgerald over ?", he asked.

"I don't know? Miguel, has got a lot of stuff going on right now, with Kay's pregnancy and Charity's permeations.", she replied. "Can she really predict the future ?", Kathelina added.

"They say she can and has.", he replied.

"Who's they ?", she asked.

"Ethan, Gwen, Luis, Sheridan, Theresa….", he trailed off.

"I'm sorry, I know how it feels to have your heart broken'", Kathelina replied rapping her arms around him.

"Why does it always got to be Ethan ? Ethan, has stole everything from me, mother, father, grandfather, and now Theresa.", he replied.

"I know, I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better.", she replied. 'Maybe there is, Ethan you set this up, I'd almost guarantee it.'

"Theresa, honey what's wrong ?", Whitney asked it was obvious she has been crying.

"Whit, I've lost him, I've really lost him.", Theresa said not making no sense.

"Lost whom? Theresa, what's going on ?", Whitney asked confused.

"Fox, he's gone. He thinks I'm in love with Ethan, he thinks I don't love him.", Theresa said in sobs.

"What happened to make him think that ?", Whitney asked.

"He walked in on Ethan kissing me , he assumed that I kissed Ethan and that it was my plea to get Ethan back.", Theresa explained.

"Did you tell him other wise ?", Whitney asked.

"He didn't give me time to explain, he was really upset.", Theresa replied.

"Theresa, do you know where he went ?", Whitney asked.

"No, for all I know he could be on his way to New Zealand.", she replied.

"I seriously doubt that, Theresa he loves you. When he found out you were sick he was ballistic. He said he had to be here.", she replied.

"That was before tonight. Whit, he will always think I love Ethan.", she replied.

"No, he won't, call him Theresa, tell him exactly what happened. Tell him what he means to you.", Whitney replied. "Tell him that you're over Ethan and you only love him.", she added.

"What if he don't fell the same about me…", Theresa began.

"Theresa, he wouldn't be this upset if he didn't love you.", she interrupted.

"Whit, I can't…I'm afraid that he don't love me. Dylan, says Fox is a user and that he will only hurt me. What if Dylan's right ? Dylan is Fox's best friend after all, maybe he knows more than we do about him.", she replied.

"No, it looks to me like Dylan is after you. He and Ethan are working you to get you to give up on you and Fox.", Whitney replied. " Theresa, you love him and he loves you that's all that matters.", she added.

"No, Whit you're wrong, Dylan has been a good friend and he cares about me and Fox. He just don't want to me hurt.", Theresa replied.

"I hope your right Theresa, because it sounds to like Dylan is after you.", Whitney replied.

"I'm going to go I got to me Chad later to record my album.", Whitney added.

"Chad, finally convinced you to record your album, yes. Whit, I'm so happy for you.", Theresa exclaimed.

"Yeah, I went home and thought, this is my dream why not do it.", Whitney replied.

"Well, go. You don't need to be late.", Theresa replied.

"Ok, bye, Theresa.", Whitney replied.

"Bye, good luck.", Theresa replied.

Whitney walked outside and headed for the elevators.
