Chapter 2: Club Night

Fox walked up to Teresa's house and knocked on the door. Luis answered, "What do you want Crane?" "Um, to see my best friend." "Where are you two going tonight?" Teresa ran up to the door and pushed Luis out of the way, "We are going out Luis and that's all we're saying." Fox just stared at Teresa. She was in black knee high boots with a short black dress on. Her hair was down and she had make-up on, which was different. Luis sighed and walked back into the house as Teresa closed the door. She laughed when she saw Fox staring and said, "Fox? Are you there?" Fox came out of trance and said, "Um, yeah. Right here." "Good." She linked arms with him and they walked to the car. Fox went to open the car door for her when she said, "Shoot! I forgot my purse! Be right back." She started to run back to the house when Fox grabbed her arm, "Teresa, don't worry about, there isn't much to buy at a club and whatever you get I'll pay for, I mean, it's only a couple of bucks right?" She smiled, "Thanks so much, Fox." "Don't mention it." He opened the car door and she slipped in the car. He closed the door and went to the driver's seat.
They started to drive towards the club when Teresa spoke up, "By the way, Whitney couldn't come, she had a major game tomorrow so she had practice." "That's okay. We'll be just fine." After Teresa flicked the radio off when she couldn't find any good music she spoke up, "So? Do you like the outfit?" Fox started to laugh and he glanced at her, "I'm not saying." "Come on! You're my best guy friend and I expect guy advice from you just like you expect girl advice from me so spill!" He laughed and said, "I think you look hot, to be honest." She blushed, "I knew you'd like it." She laughed and looked out the window for the rest of the drive.
Once they arrived at the club Fox and Teresa linked arms again and searched the line for his friends, Dylan and Shawn and Shawn's girl, Tiffany. They all found each other and Fox said, "Come on. Let's get in." Everyone hopped out of line and Teresa looked at Fox as they cut the line, "How are we going to get in when everyone else is waiting?" Fox looked at her while they were walking to the doors and said, "Being a Crane has its advantages." He smiled and moments later they were in the club.
A song started to play that Fox liked so he pulled Teresa on the dance floor, "Come on. Let's dance." "Fox, I can't dance." "Now, that's a lie if I ever heard one." She laughed and started to dance with him. After a couple of songs she had eventually moved closer to Fox. A woman came up behind Fox and tapped him on the shoulder; "Want to dance with me, now?" Fox laughed and said, "I've got all I need right here," and pulled Teresa closer to show the woman that they were together. She instantly brushed it off and went to next guy. Teresa and Fox laughed at what had happened. Teresa said, "Let's get something to drink." "Okay." He held her hand with their fingers laced and all and walked up to the bar. "What do you want?" he asked Teresa. "Um, water I guess." He looked at her, "Would you live a little?" "What do you mean?" "You're at a club with Fox not at the park with Ethan." She laughed and said, "Okay, okay. Um, I want a beer." "Wow a beer. You sound so grown up." She hit his arm playfully as they laughed. Fox paid for the drinks and found Shawn and Tiffany making out in one of the chairs in the club. Moments later, Dylan found them and they scheduled a time and place to meet before leaving.
Fox and Teresa ended up back on the dance floor together for almost every song that night. Fox held her close and she liked it. Ethan never held her like that and Fox wasn't a serious all the time when Ethan was. But whom was she kidding right? She was dating Ethan, not Fox. A guy made a pass at Teresa and Fox nearly had a shit fit about it. He didn't want anyone to even touch her and Teresa asked, "Why'd you get so mad?" "Because, I have to return you to your Prince Ethan remember?" She sighed, "Is that all?" "No. I have other reasons, but it doesn't matter. You're my best bud, and I don't want anything to happen to you." Teresa thought to herself, 'best bud? I'm only his bud? Ugh! Guys!' The night carried on and eventually everyone had to leave the club. During the ride home Fox asked, "You want to get something to eat?" "Yeah, but it's 2am. Where could we get food from?" Fox smiled and took off down the freeway to the wharf. Once they arrived Fox held her hand as they walked to the spot that they used to hang out at as kids. It was their special place. Fox said, "I knew you'd be hungry and I knew you would like a picnic so, I packed one, not a maid, I did it." She laughed as they sat down to eat under the wharf. "Do you come here often Fox?" "Only when I have a lot of things on my mind or need to be alone. Which seems like a lot these days." "So, this is where you come when you're not at the mansion." "Exactly." He looked at Teresa and started to laugh. "What's so funny?" she asked. "You have mayonnaise from the sandwich on the sides of your mouth. You look like you just sucked a-" She cut him off, "Don't even say it." He laughed, "Here let me help." He wiped it off and they continued to eat. When they finished, Fox was leaned against a piece of the wharf with his legs wide open staring at the water. Teresa saw this and went directly in between his legs and laid her back against his chest and he held her around her waist. He put his chin on her head and he just held her while they looked at the stars. "Fox?" "Huh?" "Do you ever wonder if the someone you love is looking at the stars or the ocean or something at the same time you are?" "You know, Teresa, I do wonder about that." "Really?" "Yeah, but I don't know about it though. I mean it seems so dreamy and I like to be a realist." She turned her head around to face him and said, "Are you calling me a dreamer?" He smiled, "That's exactly what I'm saying."
