** I realized that this story is called a "sequel" but I just found out what I real sequel was, so I might change the title to: Secret Passions.

Chapter 4: During a Kiss
A day had past and Teresa had called Ethan and told him that she'd be up to the house soon. She walked in the front door and went into the parlor and saw a blond lady sitting on the couch. With a "hop in her step" she walked over and said, "Hi. I'm Teresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." The lady turned around, "Lopez-Fitzgerald? Why are you in a Crane home?" "Um, I'm Ethan Crane's girlfriend." "Oh, you're the hot tamale that Ivy warned me of." Teresa looked at her, "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name." "I didn't give it to you."
Ethan walked in and said, "Teresa, this is Gwen. Gwen Hotchkiss. We dated in nursery school." Teresa hugged Ethan, "Oh, that's nice." She kissed Ethan's cheek and whispered in his ear, "Can we talk?" "Sure. Excuse us Gwen." Gwen nodded and Ethan and Teresa walked out of the room into the gazebo.
"What was her problem Ethan?"
"She doesn't like you I guess."
"Why not?"
"I don't know," he started to pull her close, "but whatever the case I know I love you."
"I love you too." He leaned in and kissed her. They fooled around in the gazebo a bit and Ethan's cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"Yeah, I'll head up right now."
"Okay, bye."
Teresa asked, "Who was that?"
"Mother."
"Oh."
"Yeah, she wants me at the house."
"Okay. Let's go." She grabbed his hand and started to walk towards to main house when Ethan pulled her back, "She wants me only." "Oh. I see." She nodded. "Well, I'll head back to my house and you'll call me?" "You bet." He kissed her goodnight and she walked back to her house, alone. Her cell phone rang, "Hello." "Hey beautiful."
"Fox?" "Who else calls you that? Wait, don't answer that." They
laughed. "Anyway, Resa, have you checked your email today?"
"I was just going to."
"Okay, because I got bored and I emailed you like six times." She
laughed, "Okay."
"Talk to you tomorrow?"
"You bet."
"Bye."
"Bye." They kissed through the phone and Teresa went to check her
email.

*~*~*~*~*~*
A week had pasted and Fox was calling and emailing like expected. Ethan was a different story though. Ivy seemed to want Gwen and Ethan together and she wouldn't stop at anything. Ethan never spent any time with her anymore because he was always with Gwen.
Teresa was alone and sad. She wanted to go and spend time with Fox in L.A. but she knew Ethan would hate her for it. Teresa decided to go for a walk on the Crane grounds one day and heard Ethan and Gwen talking, in a lovey-dovey way. She crawled up behind some bushes and spied on them.

*~*~*~*~*~*
"Come on Ethan. Kiss me. You know you want to."
"I may want to, but I'm dating Teresa."
"That's nice, but I can be your "Latin lover" also, you know." She ran her fingers through Ethan's hair and Teresa, from behind the bush, wanted to choke her.
"Gwen, really, come on."
"Live a little Ethan." She kissed him and at first he fought it, but he eventually gave in. Teresa felt her heartbreak. Her eyes filled with tears. She watched intensely to see if anything else came from the kiss.
Gwen pushed Ethan against a wall in the gazebo and sat him down. She sat on him with her legs apart and she kept kissing him. Eventually, they were making out without knowing that Teresa was seeing everything. She didn't want to get up to stop what was happening. She just hid in the bushes, watching. She was stunned because the love of her life was cheating on her. She ran back a couple of feet to a gate and took out her cell phone and called Fox. She got his answering machine and refused to leave a message, she'd just tell him later. She hung the phone up and called Ethan's phone. He didn't answer.
She called again, but still no answer. She was getting mad. She walked back to the bushes near the gazebo and saw Ethan lying on top of Gwen in the middle of the gazebo. Teresa's eyes filled with tears. Ethan was all over Gwen and he didn't seem to have Teresa on his mind at all. She walked back to her house and sat on her bed. She crawled under the covers and started to cry. "What's wrong beautiful?"
"Who is that?" She sat straight up and looked in a corner in her room. Fox came out with flowers and sat on the bed, "Resa, what's up?" She smiled and touched Fox's face, "What are you doing here?" "I got away for a day or so and I'm glad I did, what's wrong babe?" "Oh Fox, it's horrible!" He pulled her close to hold her, "Tell me everything, Resa."

*~*~*~*~*~*
Ethan and Gwen were in the parlor of the Crane mansion when Fox and Teresa walked in, well, Fox was really dragging her in, but he had to tell Ethan off. Ethan saw Fox and how he was pulling Teresa, "Fox what the hell is your problem?" "YOU!" "Excuse me?" "Yeah. I come back to see my best friend for a day or so and I come back to her bawling her eyes out on my shoulder. Ethan! How dare you!" "What are you talking about? "Teresa saw you and Gwen earlier!" Ethan stared at Teresa who was crying, "Teresa, is that true?" Fox stood in Ethan's view of Teresa and said, "Yes it's true damn it. Don't you see how bad you hurt her?" Ethan went to hold Teresa but Fox pushed her back a couple of steps. "You'll never hurt again Ethan." Ethan quickly shot his cold eyes at Fox, "What do you mean?" "I mean exactly what I'm saying. Teresa will not be hurt by your selfish acts again. She's going to move to L.A. with me for a while." "Like hell she is! She is MY girlfriend Fox! Not yours!" "And you showed that SO WELL by your actions today!" Fox held Teresa and walked out the front door.
Gwen stood behind a shocked Ethan. She placed her hand on his shoulder and eventually put her hand on his face and turned him around. She looked him in his eyes and kissed him. He put his brandy down and gave in to her kiss. Gwen's kiss seemed to make all his troubles go away for some reason and as much as he hated to admit it: he had forgotten all about Teresa.

*~*~*~*~*
Fox was throwing clothes from Teresa's closet and bureau into a suitcase. He was pissed and Teresa just sat on the bed saying, "Fox, I can't just pack up and leave." He didn't answer her. He was so frustrated. He just kept packing her things. Eventually Teresa got up and held his face. He stopped moving and stared at her. She said, "Fox, thank you so much for your support, but I have to stay here." He looked at her and nodded. He kissed her cheek and she kissed his cheek back. He pulled her close and held her by her waist and they just stood there in the middle of the room. He stared into her eyes and she stared back into his, "Teresa, why does this have to be so difficult?" "I don't know Fox, but I know that I belong in Harmony and I belong with Ethan." He let go of her and walked around the room, "I guess this is good-bye?" "For now. I will visit you, you know." "I hope so." He went back to her in the middle of the room and held her again. He kissed her, but this time, on her lips. She melted. She tried to push him off but after a while, she realized that she had wanted that all along. She gave in and he loved it. She opened her mouth, hoping that he would keep going with her and he did. He slipped into her mouth and she was going crazy. No one ever kissed her that. Not even her "Prince Ethan". Just the way he held her drove her crazy. He knew all the right ways to hold a girl while standing and kissing at the same time. His hand was right under the back of her head and he held her so gently around the waist with his other hand.
He finally stopped kissing her and said, "I will see you soon, beautiful." She nodded and he left. She fell on the floor holding her mouth, "Wow. I've never felt like that during a kiss."
Fox sat in his car saying, "I've never felt like during a kiss. I hope I don't scare her away." He shrugged it off and left the Crane grounds and left for L.A., without his best friend, Teresa.
