Chapter#2
~*~*~
I looked at the clock; it read 3:25 AM. My eyes were red and puffy, I couldn't sleep at all. I had stopped crying a little while ago. It felt like there were no more tears left to cry. I decided to go to the kitchen and make my self a warm glass of milk.
'Maybe that will help me sleep' I thought to myself. I walked into the living room when I noticed some one lying down on the couch. It was Fox. His arms and legs were scattered everywhere. Just a couple of inches further and his head would be on the floor. If you asked me, he didn't look too comfortable. I decided to wake him up. I walked up to the couch and sat down beside him.
"Fox sweetie, get up" I said shaking him gently. Nothing happened. He laid there as still as a rock.
"Fox!!! Sweetie you have to get up!" I said, but this time a little louder then before. I had to be careful not to wake up the others. This time he just stirred a little while mumbling something about sleeping in longer.
I was starting to get frustrated. I think the lack of sleep was getting me a little grumpy. "FOX! GET UP RIGHT NOW!" I yelled, shaking him vigorously. Next thing I knew there was a pillow in my face and I was on the ground.
"Let me sleep Pilar!" He said immediately falling back asleep. I remembered that mama would always be the one to get him out of bed when he slept in. "Man, I wonder how she put up with him. Oh well, time for plan 'B' " I said out loud to myself. I walked over to the kitchen and got a glass and filled it with icy cold water. I walked up behind the sofa and stood there holding the glass over his face. I smiled devilishly, knowing what kind of trouble I was getting my self into.
Slowly I tilted the glass downwards and the cold liquid poured all over his face. Immediately he jumped up and turned his head everywhere for any sign that would explain what had just happened.
I ducked behind the couch where he couldn't see me. Hopefully he wouldn't catch me otherwise I knew I was in for trouble. "What the hell?!?!" I heard him yell angrily. 'Uh ohh… he's angry now' I thought to myself. I was started to get scared at the thought of what he might do if he knew it was me who poured the water.
He got up off the couch with an angry expression on his face. Boy, when Fox was angry it wasn't pretty that's for sure. He slowly walked to the kitchen, but at the same time looking around incase he might happen to see the culprit. This was my chance to escape! Once I knew he was in the kitchen where he couldn't see me I ran to my room and shut the door quietly. I jumped into the bed and pulled the sheets over me. Next thing I knew I heard quick footsteps heading towards my room.
'Damn it, he heard me' I thought to myself. I heard the door
open slowly. "Theresa?" He whispered. "Theresa are you awake?" He whispered
again.
I had to bite my tongue to hold in my laughter. I couldn't take it anymore.
Just as I let it out he left the room. I started laughing like a mad woman.
"Thank God, I had perfect timing!" I said. Remembering the reason why I had left my room in first place, I waited until I thought the coast was clear. After a few minutes I walked up to the door and opened it slowly. I glanced towards Fox's room and saw that the door was shut. I assumed that he had gone to bed. I walked out of the room and headed my way back to the kitchen. I was just about to open the fridge door when all of a sudden a pair of arms grabbed me by surprise and I was lifted into the air.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed. "OH MY GOD!! AHHHHH PUT ME DOWN!!!" I yelled kicking and punching trying to escape from whoever's shoulder I was over. I was scared to death. "Shhhhhhh!!! Quiet Theresa! Your going to wake up the others with your uncontrollable screaming!"
I recognized the voice immediately. "FOX! YOU DIRTY RASCAL! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!" I shrieked; just on the verge or tears. "Let me go God damn it!!!"
"So dear step-mother, you're the reason why I'm awake at-" He looked at his watch "3:45 am in the morning huh… and all this time I was thinking a Rat some how got in and dumped the freezing water on me. Actually, I was right, a RAT DID dump the water on me!" he said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Fox, honey, sweetie, I would love to explain my inappropriate behavior towards you but first you're going to have to PUT ME DOWN!" I said annoyed. He dumped me on the sofa where he had been previously sleeping. He stood in front of me, arms crossed over his chest, foot tapping on the floor.
"I'm waiting," He said plainly. "Well you see… this is how it stared…" I looked around and noticed a nice big pillow right beside me. That little devil of mine that appeared many times too often when I would come up with a plan to get back Ethan appeared again.
"Well as I was saying Fox…" I slowly started to move my hand towards the pillow. He hadn't noticed though. I got up and stood in front of him. "I was in my room when I decided too…."
WHACK! I through the pillow straight in his face causing him to fall back on the sofa behind him. I ran into the kitchen for some unknown reason. Next thing I knew he was chasing me around the kitchen table in circles.
"I should have expected this from you, you little Rat" He said slowly following me around the table. "Well I didn't expect this from you!" I said jokingly and ran to the bedroom. I ended up being chased around the whole living room then got into my bedroom were I ran into a corner.
'Damn it… I'm trapped! What am I going to do now??' I thought panicking. He walked up to me slowly shaking his head. "Well well well… looks like your trapped," He said smirking. "Now, lets think of a way to punish you for your inappropriate behavior" continuing… "Any suggestions Theresa?"
I didn't know what I was going to do. But all of a sudden that little devil was back again. Boy, he really liked me. "Fox… I'm so sorry I poured the water on you! It was an accident! Honest!" I said, water starting to form in my eyes.
"I…I… I was trying to get a glass of water * sniffs* when I tripped and * sniffs* and dropped the water on youuu!!!" I said weeping. I rapped my arms around him and started to cry on his shirt. "I'm sorrryyyyyyyy!!" I said half whining and half crying.
I took a quick glance at his face and noticed guilt was plastered all over it. "Shhh…I'm sorry Theresa, please don't cry. I was only joking around. Its ok!! It was an accident. Shhh…" He said apologetically. He sat both of us down on the bed and hugged me until I stopped crying. I looked at him with a sad look on my face.
"Do you really mean it Fox?" I said instantly. "Of course Theresa" He said and gave me a warm smile. "Well then good, Cause I sure as hell don't!" I said, quickly grabbing another pillow and throwing it at his face. I ran out of the room in a fit of giggles. "Theresaaaaa!!!!!!!!" I heard him yell.
I ran all the way across the living room to the front door. I looked behind me
and noticed that he was coming after me. I opened the door, ran out and headed
downstairs. Every so often I would look behind me and see he was on my trail.
Finally, I couldn't see him anymore. I looked around for a place to hide and
saw a big plant in the corner of the room. "Perfect" I said.
I went and hid behind there. He finally entered the poolroom and looked around for any sight of me. "Theresa… where are you? Please come out, I promise I won't hurt you" He said mischievously. 'Yeah right, as if I was going to fall for that' I thought.
He walked towards the edge of the pool and bent down. He was playing with the water. The little devil of mine was back. 'I really should give him a name' I thought humorously. I creped up behind him, "Hi Fox!" I said loudly. He turned around swiftly; he started to shake his arms backwards wobbly. He lost his Balance and fell into the pool, but not before grabbing my dress and pulling me in with him!
"Ahhhh!!!" I screamed.
