CHAPTER 11

SLIP OF THE TONGUE

Dylan and Teresa carried Fox into their apartment. He was totally wasted. Dylan had never seen Fox this drunk before.

"Geez, Fox, what have you been eating. You're like a ton of bricks." Teresa laughed.

"Ha, Ha, Teresa, you're so funny." He slurred and touched the tip of her nose. "Such a cute little nose. I wuv your nose, Resa. Resa. My Resa. My bestest friend."

Teresa looked at Dylan. Dylan shook his head, "I swear, Teresa, I've never seen him this bad before. Fox normally holds his liquor well. He must've downed the whole damn bar."

They threw Fox down on his bed. Teresa pulled off Fox's shoes and slid him out of his shirt. She then pulled a blanket up over him. "We'll see you in the morning, Fox. Sleep well." Teresa kissed Fox lightly on the forehead. She looked down and smiled at him. He was already asleep.

Teresa and Dylan walked quitely out of Fox's bedroom. "I guess I should be getting back to the hotel. It'll be a long day tomorrow. I need to do some packing before I move in tomorrow."

"Yeah, I guess so. Come on I'll drive you. I don't want you riding around with some crazy cab driver."

Teresa thought about the cab driver she had been honored enough to be chauffered around by here in LA. She shuddered at the thought of how he had looked her up and down. "Thanks, Dylan. I appreciate that."

They rode back to the hotel in silence and Dylan accompanied Teresa back up to her room.

"You get lonely staying here by yourself, I imagine." Dylan said looking around the small hotel room.

"You can say that again! Growing up with so many brothers and sisters I was never at a lack for company." She smiled thinking of her family back in Harmony.

"Want me stay?" Dylan asked. Teresa didn't know what to say, but before she could open her mouth Dylan's had descended down on hers.

Fox was awoken from his sleep by a knock on the apartment door. He growled as he rolled out of bed. 'God what had he drank tonight?' he thought to himself rubbing his head. "I swear that Dylan. If he locks himself out one more time."

Fox made his way to the front door of the apartment and was stunned to see the person standing in front of him. "Whitney!"

She stood there looking somewhat intimidated. "Hey, Fox. I guess you're wondering what I'm doing here at such a late hour."

"Well you could say that again. Come on in." He opened the door wider and allowed Whitney to walk in.

"Chad and I sort of had an arguement. He called saying that he was just going to stay the night at the office. He didn't want to have to disturb me when he came in late. Said he still had a lot of work to do. I just thought it would be nice to talk to someone." She smiled.

"Yeah, sometimes it is nice to talk to someone." He thought back to all the late night talks him and Teresa had shared. "Are you going to be okay?" Foxed asked as they took a seat on the couch.

"I'll be fine. You on the other hand don't look so great."

"Geez, do I look that bad?"

"You look smashed. Did you have a lot to drink after I left?" Whitney asked.

"I guess. Usually I can hold my booze pretty well though."

"Got a lot on your mind?" Whitney inched closer to Fox.

Fox rubbed his head, "You could say that."

"I could help you with that you know." Fox looked at Whitney curiously. Whitney inched closer to Fox and placed her lips on his.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dylan's lips crushed down on Teresa's. They moved slightly into her hotel room and Dylan shut the door behind them. He pulled her so close to him that he could almost feel the blood rushing through her veins. Teresa groaned as Dylan ran his hands down her back massaging her tired muscles. Teresa ran her fingers through Dylan's curly black hair. Dylan inched her closer to the bed.

"Teresa, I want you so bad." He managed to get out between kisses.

"Don't stop please. Don't stop." She lay herself back on the bed and pulled Dylan down on top of her.

"I don't think I could if I tried, Teresa." He groaned.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fox didn't know what to think. Was this really happening? The woman he had been wanting for so long was returning his feelings. Wasn't this what he wanted? Fox finally gave in and started kissing her back. He was never going to sort out his feelings for Teresa and Whitney if he didn't act on them. He had to know if his feelings for Whitney were true.

Fox pushed Whitney away slightly, "Whitney, come on. You don't know what you're doing."

"I know exactly what I'm doing, Fox." She leaned back in to kiss him.

Fox put up his hands, "Wait, wait a minute. I don't want you to do something you might regret."

"Let me worry about that, Fox." She leaned in and kissed him again. Fox didn't resist this time. He leaned himself and Whitney back on the couch and kissed her intimately.

Whitney broke away from the kiss and looked deeper into Fox's eyes. "Make love to me Fox. Make love to me now." Fox kissed her once again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dylan lay gently down on Teresa. Teresa started working on the buttons of his shirt and in time she pushed his shirt off and it fell to the floor. Dylan sat Teresa up and unzipped the back of her dress. He let the straps of her dress fall gently down. He kissed Teresa on her neck and trailed slowly down to where the curve of her breast meet her dress.

"Teresa, you're beautiful." Dylan said as he helped Teresa slip out of her red dress. It also hit the floor. Dylan starred at her for a few seconds, "Better than I imagined." He said.

Dylan's mouth once again came down onto Teresa's lips. "Hmmm, you kiss so good. I never knew kissing you would be this good, Fox."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fox had never turned down a woman before and he sure wasn't about to start tonight. He kissed Whitney ever more passionately. Whitney stroked Fox's bare chest as he slowly unbottened her blouse.

"Do you know how long I've waited to do this?" Fox growled between kisses.

Whitney slid herself out of her blouse. "Not half as long as I've wanted you." Whitney undid the clasp of her bra boldly and starred into Fox's eyes.

Fox kissed Whitney with even more passion. He inched up her skirt she was wearing and carressed her thigh. "I love you. God how I love you, Teresa."
