Chapter 4
SURPRISE!
Teresa followed Dylan across the street and he held the door for her as they entered into Crane Studios. Teresa walked in with her head held proud this time. That little twit receptionist couldn't turn her away this time.
"Patty, I'm here to see Fox. Will you let him know I'm here?" He asked.
She looked up to see Dylan. "Sure thing Mr. Banning."
Dylan motioned for Teresa to step closer. "Will you let him know that a Ms. Teresa Lopez-Fitzgerald is here to see him also?"
"Oh, no, no Dylan. I wanted it to be a surprise. They don't know I'm here." She begged.
"Okay, then strike that. Just let him know I'm here will you?"
The receptionist looked at Teresa with anger in her eyes. "Right away, Mr. Banning." She picked up her phone, "Yes, Mr. Crane, Mr. Banning is here to see you. I'll send him right up." She looked up at Dylan, "He's waiting in his office for you."
"Thank you. Come on Teresa." He took Teresa's hand in his. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of excitement at his touch. She wondered if he felt it too. He was an absolutely gorgeous man. He was tall and muscular. He had dark curly hair, tan skin and ice blue eyes. His blue eyes reminded her of...now what was his name again? Oh, yeah, Ethan. They made their way over to the elevator and Dylan pushed the up button.
"So, Fox doesn't know you're here, huh?" He asked curiously looking at her out of the corner of his eye.
"No." She turned to face him. "He and a couple of my other friends are here and I wanted to surprise them. You probably know them too. Chad Harris and his girlfriend Whitney Russell?"
"I know them." He nodded his head. "Chad's a cool guy. Not really got to know Whitney all that well. She's kinda quite."
The elevator opened and they stepped in.
"Oh, you'll love her once you get to know here. She's wonderful. Whitney's like my sister. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. Her and Fox tried to talk me into coming out here, but I had my reasons for staying at the time."
"Ethan?" Dylan asked.
"How did you know?"
"Fox & I have been friends for almost as long as you and Whitney. He tells me everything."
"Hmm, I always knew guys were just as big at gossiping as us women are. He's not told you who that mystery woman is has he?" She asked slyly.
"Nope, sure hasn't. Wouldn't tell if he had though." He smiled down at her.
"You and Fox are like two peas in a pod. I bet you two have drove a lot of people crazy, huh?"
"You probably don't know the half of it. So, you still head over heels in love with Ethan?"
"Not anymore. That part of my life is over. I'm tired of fighting for a man that refuses to fight for me." She said confidently.
"Involved with anyone?" He hoped not.
"Not currently. You?" 'I'm sure he is. All the good one's are taken.'
"Actually, just got out of a relationship."
At that moment the elevator jerked and the lights flickered. Teresa lost her balance and feel into Dylan's arms.
"Oh, my god, what was that?" She asked frantically.
Dylan rubbed her back. "I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe the power just went out temporarily."
It jerked again slamming them against the wall of the elevator. Teresa was pinned against the wall, Dylan up against her closely. Both looking into each others eyes, their lips just inches apart.
"Are you okay?" He breathed heavily, never taking his eyes off hers.
"Yeah, you?" She whispered.
"Fine." His lips came down on hers. He kissed Teresa passionately. She kissed him back with just as much force. Both of them so caught up in the moment they never noticed that the elevator door had now opened.
"What the...Dylan is that you?" Fox asked.
Dylan broke away from Teresa and turned around to face Fox. Teresa was still hiden behind him. "Fox, hey, um I guess you ready for lunch." He said running his fingers through his hair.
Fox grinned mischeviously. "Looks like you have other plans already, Dylan. Care to introduce me to the mystery woman? Oh and by the way nice shade of lipstick."
Dylan grinned and whiped off his mouth with the back of his hand.
Teresa panicked. Oh my god. I can't let him see me like this. Before she could react Dylan stepped aside revealing Teresa standing there with swollen red lips and a guilty look on her face. She tried to speak but she couldn't find the words and she just laughed awkwardly. Fox looked at her stunned. "What the hell! Teresa, what are you doing here?"
"Surprise!" She waved and giggled.
Hope you like! Read and Review. I love to read your comments. If you have any suggestions let me know. I'm open to any with the exception of Fox and Whitney getting together that is! YUCK!
