Chapter 8
The next week flew past quickly. Teresa would spend the day going to school; she would come home complete her homework and then go up to the mansion to do work for Mrs. Crane. Before she left she would always spend about an hour talking to Ethan, asking him how his day was and if he was coping.
She was pretty sure that he was doing okay. But she wasn't completely sure. He was always happy when she was around but as soon as it came time for her to leave she noticed that he was always upset and according to Ivy he was always in the house never venturing outside.
When Saturday came Teresa decided that Ethan needed to get out. So getting up at 5:00am she quietly dressed in hipster jeans and a red halter neck top. She wore her black leather boots and wore her hair up in a high ponytail. Grabbing her jacket and purse she was out of the house by 5:10am. Hurrying up to the mansion she crept up the back stairs and into Ethan's room.
Walking quietly over to the bed she shook his shoulders in an attempt to wake him up. 'Ethan wake up. Come on we have to go' she whispered.
'What?' he rolled over and saw Teresa standing above him. 'Teresa? What are you doing here?' he asked trying to calm his body down from the sight of this goddess so early in the morning.
'We are going to spend the day together. Ivy told me you haven't left the house all week. So get up and dressed we have to go. Meet me downstairs in five minutes' she said smiling at the sight of Ethan who just woke up and was trying to push the sleep from his eyes.
'Give me ten minutes' he replied looking at the clock shocked he asked, 'Teresa it's only 5:20am. Why am I up so early?'
'We're going to watch the sunrise now hurry up or you'll miss it.'
Ethan quickly jumped into the shower and then put on his jeans white single and a turquoise shirt over the top. Grabbing his jacket he raced downstairs.
Teresa had Ethan drive to the beach. As soon as he pulled up she jumped out of the car with a blanket and ran down the beach. When she got there she sat down and waited for the sun to rise.
Ethan watched as Teresa raced down the beach. She had been trying to cheer him up but it was only killing him inside. They were at this gorgeous beach, the sun was about to rise and at any other time he would consider this an extremely romantic situation. But Teresa was his best friend not his lover. He silently walked over and sat next to her admiring her face and the way the suns rays reflected off her face giving it an extra glow, god how he loved this woman. She turned and looked at him and smiled.
'You're missing the view' he returned the smile
'Its okay I just wanted to thank you.'
'What for?' she asked confused
'For cheering me up, I know I haven't been the most pleasant person to be around lately'
'Its nothing Ethan, that's what friends are for'
she said hugging him
'Yeah' he sighed reveling in the sensations that were taking over his body, he released her and turned to watch the sunrise, still keeping his arm around her shoulders. Her head was resting on his shoulder. 'You won't have to cheer me up for much longer though'
'What are you talking about?' She pulled away from confused.
'Well I have decided to take some action and cheer myself up'
'How?'
'Not too sure yet but I'm working on it. You'll just have to wait and see'
'You are a strange man Ethan' she said laughing
'I know but you still love me anyway right?' he said raising an eyebrow and giving her a devilish grin.
'Yeah I still love ya' she said hugging him again 'if only you knew how much' she thought.
