CHAPTER 16
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS
Fox walked Teresa into the restaurant. "Fox, there's no one here. Are you sure where at the right place?
Fox smiled, "Yes, Teresa, I rented out the entire restaurant. I wanted you to be top priority tonight."
Teresa reached up and planted a kiss on his cheek. "I never knew you were this romantic Fox. Why didn't you tell me before?"
"You know, Teresa, I never knew I had it in me either. I guess you brought it out in me." He took her arm. "Come on let's have a seat."
They took their seats and the waiters brought them their plates and served them only the best wine. They talked throughtout their dinner. Both told their hopes and dreams for the future. Both hoping that the other would be a part of their future. They both finished off their desserts when a spotlight coming shining down on the stage in front of them. The band members took their positions. The singer took his place behind the microphone. "Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald, Fox has requested this song for you."
Fox held out his hand, "Teresa, would you do me the honor?" Teresa smiled and took Fox's hand. They walked out onto the dance floor and Fox took Teresa into his arms.
Teresa looked up at Fox, "Seems we always end up on the dance floor together."
He smiled down at her. "Shh, just listen to the words."
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would you offer a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears.
I could hold you for a million years.
To make you feel my love.
Though you haven't made your mind up yet.
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we've met.
There's doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue.
I'd crawling down the avenue.
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do.
To make you feel my love.
Storms are raging on a rolling sea.
Down the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
but you ain't seen nothing like me yet.
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the earth for you.
Make you happy, make your dreams come true.
To make you feel my love.
Fox pulled Teresa even closer. "Teresa, I've never felt this way before."
Fox held Teresa so tight that she could barely breathe, but she wasn't about to break free from his embrace. This moment was perfect. This was the moment from all her dreams. "Me either, Fox. Me either."
Fox tilted up Teresa's chin to look her eye to eye. "But I thought..."
Tears came to Teresa's eyes, "He never made me feel like this, Fox. Never." Fox possessed Teresa's mouth with such passion that it took her breath away.

"Gwen, I can't wait for you to see this place. I'm sure the food there is magnificent." Ethan said as he drove himself and Gwen downtown.
"Oh, Ethan, I can't wait. I'm utterly tired of all the restaurant's in Harmony. There so...well, rustic."
Ethan rolled his eyes unnoticed by Gwen, "Here we are." He pulled their car into the parking lot.
"Looks desserted." Gwen whined.
"I'm sure it's just a slow night." Ethan got out and walked around to open the door for his wife. They were greeted by an older man at the door. "My wife and I would like a table please."
"I'm sorry sir. That will not be possible." The man said.
"What do you mean that won't be possible? Do you have any idea of who I am?" Gwen snorted.
"What matters more is who is inside. I'm sorry, I'll have to ask you to leave."
"I demand to know why you refuse to serve me and my husband." Gwen shouted.
"Someone has rented out the entire restaurant for the evening ma'am. Nice young man. Seems he landed him a beautiful young lady." The man turned and walked away.
Gwen huffed, "Well, I never. How dare he refuse us service."
Ethan practically dragged Gwen to the car. "I'm sorry, Gwen, let's find somewhere else to eat." Ethan said helping Gwen into the car and then rounding the car to take his seat behind the wheel.
"Well, what I want to know is who had enough money to rent out the whole damn restaurant for the night. Why the Crane's are the only people I know with money like that!"
Ethan sighed. 'The Crane's, huh? I hope Fox enjoys her while he has her. She'll be mine soon enough.' He thought to himself.
