Chapter 3
"Chill out Gwen, all I did was state the truth. I'm sorry if the truth upset Theresa. You know I would never hurt her intentionally."
"And what truth would that be?" They all turned around to a very angry Fox.
"Fox where's my sister? I thought you went to go find her."
"Don't change the subject, Luis. What truth? Come on Mr. Honesty tell me what truth."
"Listen Fox, I was upset and I kind of bit her head off. I basically told her that she needs to figure out her feelings for you before she hurts you. Come on man don't be mad. It was so pathetic the way she has you wrapped around her finger."
"Let's get two things straight. One, if anything happened to Theresa, I'm going to kick your ass. Two, my relationship with your sister is none of your damn business. Now Whitney and Gwen will you please help me find Theresa?"
"I'm right here. Let's just go shopping before the stores close."
"Theresa are you sure you don't want to talk before we leave, I can tell you are upset."
"No come on Whit, let's hit the stores."
The whole trip to the mall Fox kept staring at Theresa trying to get her to open to him. Theresa kept shrugging him off and talking to the girls. So Fox asked Chad and Hank to take the girls in different stores so he could talk to Theresa alone.
After they were alone he led her over to the bench by the water fountain. "Theresa I know you are upset by what Luis said. But I know you would never hurt me, I'm your best friend. Theresa come on look at me, please."
"Fox, I hurt everyone I care about. Look at Ethan, I lied to him and schemed to keep him. I disgraced my family by marrying your father. And poor Little Ethan has to grow up with Julian as a father. Tell me Fox how are you so sure I won't hurt you."
"Theresa you have taught me so much. You have taught me how to trust. And most importantly you have showed me what it feels like to really care for someone. I know everyone thinks that you have me wrapped around your finger but that's okay, because I love spending time with you."
Fox was about to finally going to just tell her how he felt regardless of the consequences. But they were interrupted when the rest of the group found them.
"Come on guys let's hurry the mall closes in an hour." Whitney dragged Theresa out of the chair. "
"We'll catch up with you guys in a minute after we finish talking."
"No, its okay Fox, we'll talk on the way to Hawaii. I need to find a swimsuit before the mall closes." Theresa hurried to catch Whit and Gwen.
"Damn it Chad. I was so close to telling her how I feel."
Chad patted Fox on the back. "Sorry man I tried to keep her distracted but you know how girls can be. They love to shop."
"Come on Fox, I need your help picking out a swimsuit." Theresa turned and headed in Macy's to look at swimsuits.
"She is going to be the death of me."
"Oh but what a way to die." They both hurried to catch up with the ladies to hurry this shopping trip along.
