Thursday...
The next night Fox called Teresa. They had decided once again to meet at her apartment. Fox was bringing a movie and pizza. He arrived around seven that evening and as they enjoyed their pizza they discussed their day. Teresa smiled to herself as she thought about how it seemed her and Fox felt like two old married people. Both comfortable just being around each other even though they had only known each other for a few days now.
After pizza they snuggled on the sofa. "So what movie did you bring?" Teresa asked.
"I think you'll like my taste in movies. Has my favorite actress in it, Drew Barrymore. I hope you like it." He held up the box revealing the title Ever After. "From my own personal collection." (Just a little note, this happens to be my favorite movie.)
"Oh, I love that movie. I could watch it over and over."
"Thought you'd like it. Somehow I believed you'd appreciate a fairytale." Fox grinned.
"You think you know me so well, don't you?" She said glaring at him.
"Yeah, I have you pegged for the dreamer you are."
She hit him with a throw pillow, "I hate you, do you know that?"
He hit her back, "You love me and you know it. Admit it!"
"I will not admit such a thing. You don't think I already have you pegged...you, you manipulative little pervert." She pointed a finger at him.
Fox held his heart, "Oh, stop, you're breaking my heart."
"Oh, get over yourself." She said rolling her eyes and laughing.
Fox looked at her seriously, "Why do I feel like I've known you all my life?"
"I don't know, Fox. Maybe it's because we're so much alike."
"How do you mean?" He asked.
"Just how he always seek approval from everyone. Always wanting to be accepted for how we really are. Always being taken the wrong way. I don't know?" She shrugged. "Lots of reasons."
"I think you're right. Maybe we are a lot alike."
"Do you ever talk to your family, Fox?" Teresa asked.
"Oh, only when grandfather wants to yell at me for a bad business decision or lately they hassle me about shaping up and flying right since I am the new heir."
"You don't care about any of that stuff do you?"
"The Crane fortune?" He shook his head, "Not really. I mean, I won't lie. The money is nice, but there are things that mean so much more."
"Family and friends."
"Yeah, and when you're family doesn't care about you and most of your friends only want to be your friends because of the perks, the money just really seems to get in the way."
Teresa lay her head back on the sofa, "I always thought living in a mansion and having beautiful jewelry and clothes. You know, a fairytale, would be a dream come true. That was until I lived in the Crane mansion for a few months, then I realized thatoney can't buy you love or happiness. Everyone living in that place is miserable. Julian, Ivy, Gwen, Ethan. Rebecca seems to be the only content one and I think she could careless. The money is all that matters to her."
Fox rolled his eyes, "I don't think that woman even has a heart. Leave it to my father to attract another ice queen."
"Hey, watch it."
Fox looked at her and gave her his famous Fox grin, "You my little latin lover are anything but an ice queen. You definitely know how to keep a man warm between the sheets." He started to nibble on her neck.
Teresa moaned, "Do I?"
"Oh, yes. I think it's time we set the sheets on fire again."
"What about our movie?"
"Forget the movie. We have our own fairytale in the makings."
