A Blessing in Disguise Ch. 5

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 his cousin. Fox despises this cousin more than any of his other spoiled and selfish cousins. This person's reputation precedes Fox, which is practically impossible according to Julian, Alistair and Ivy. Compared to him, Fox seems like a choir boy. Giving Victor a dirty look that said, you better leave now, Fox took his seat. Victor blatantly ignored the glare and pulled a chair from another table and sat down. "You don't mind if I join you two?" Victor flashed one of his killer smiles. Slicking back his blond hair, Victor didn't seem to have a care in the world. His massive 6 feet 6 inches statue set him apart from many men.

'I can sense the tension between the two. I wonder how Fox knows this gentlemen' wondered Theresa. She couldn't help noticing how attractive his individual was. He was wearing a black Armani suit and polo cologne. He bares a remarkable resemblance to Chad Michael Murray, but more muscular and manly. He definitely had a confidence to him that all the Cranes had.

"Since my cousin has such bad manners, let me introduce myself. My name is Victor Rich III. But you can call me Handsome," Victor said as he gave Theresa a wink. Theresa began to feel uncomfortable. 'I'm flattered by all the compliments, but Fox seemed like he wanted to kill Victor at this moment. Besides that, I'm sure Victor used those lines millions of times. At least Fox appears to be sincere when he flirts with people. In her gut, she knew that she had to watch out for Victor. He seems like the type of guy everyone mistakes Fox for.'

"I guess you're oblivious to things because I didn't introduce you for a reason. Didn't you see me give you a dirty look," stated Fox bluntly. His hands rolled into fists. "My, my cousin, I have never seen you so upset. Could it possibly be that you are actually showing some feelings," teased Victor. "I remember the last time you were so upset you cried in front of the whole country club. I'm sure your friend here would be interested in why a Crane heir would show his raw emotions for the public to gossip about." It took all of Fox's strength not to rip the horrible mouth off his cousin. "If you even think about mentioning that to Theresa, you're a dead man," fumed Fox.

Theresa stood there in a state of shock. 'How did this all happen? One moment she was having a wondering time with Fox and the next, this occurred. I have to put an end to this somehow, but how?'

As Theresa was about to speak, a punch was thrown. Hearing a hard thug, she came back to reality and away from her train of thought. "Oh my gosh. Someone please help him!"
