A Blessing in Disguise Ch. 4

As Fox and Theresa stepped outside, Theresa stopped at the amazing sight before her. A wide grin spread to her face as she claps her hands in front of her mouth at the surprise.

A gorgeous and enchanting horse draw carriage was parked in front of the house. "Oh my gosh! Fox, I can't believe you did this for me," breathed Theresa. She turned around and gave him the biggest and tightest hug he ever received. In return, Fox wrapped his arms around her small waist. 'This feels perfect' thought Fox and Theresa at the same time. They held on to one another for a full minute. As they let go of one another, there was an awkward silence.

"Um...I'm sorry to interrupt, but your reservation is in 15 minutes," smiled the driver. He knew that there was something special between the two young couple. "May I help your lovely date into the carriage?"

"No thank you," Fox said as he helped Theresa in like a true gentleman. Fox and Theresa didn't want to tell the driver that it wasn't exactly a date. They both pretended that they were a couple in their own minds. "Thank you sir," Theresa said as she sat down.

Mr. Scott, I would like you to meet my lovely friend, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. I know that all eyes are on her and I am just lucky to be escorting her tonight," Fox said with all honesty. "Fox, your making me blush," gushed Theresa. Her face turned as bright red as she was grinning from ear to ear.

"Right this way. There is no wait for our guest of honor," said Mr. Scott as he led the way to the best table in the restaurant.

Fox was just about to pull out a chair for Theresa as a familiar face said, "Allow me to do the honors for such an exquisite lady." Fox couldn't believe the nerve of the person. Actually he could. He knew the person who stood before him and what he's capable of. After all, he is...
