Chapter 39: A Diamond Necklace
Teresa picked up the hair tie from her dresser and put her hair in a ponytail. She stared at her face in the mirror. As she looked into the mirror she smiled as she remembered the day Fox gave her a diamond necklace . . .
** Flashback **
Teresa had put her hair into a ponytail and Fox had come up from behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek and she giggled, "You seem to be in a good mood."
"You put me in a good mood."
"Oh really?" she asked, "how so?"
"Last night . . ."
"No need to say more." She turned her body around in his arms and leaned against the dresser as she fixed his tie for work.
"What are you smiling at?" Teresa asked as she finished fixing his tie.
"You."
"Why me?"
"You seem like Mrs. Fox Crane already."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. Fixing my tie, giving me kisses as you do it," he kissed her, "you just seem like . . ."
"Like?"
"My wife."
"Wife? Fox Crane, you better get your stories straight."
"What? You don't want to be my wife?"
"I didn't say that. I just don't know yet."
"Well, I think I have something that could change your mind."
"And what's that?"
"This," he said as he pulled a diamond necklace from his pocket, "is for you."
"For me?" she asked with her mouth wide open at the huge diamonds.
"Only the best for you, my love."
"Fox, I can't take this."
"Why not?"
"I must have cost you thousands."
"So what? I wanted to get it for you. Now, I don't buy diamond necklaces for just anyone, so you have to accept it."
"I can't."
"Yes you can." He turned her body to face the mirror and slowly kissed her neck as he placed the necklace on it. Once he hooked it on, he wrapped his arms around her waist again. She ran her finger along the necklace in admiration.
"So, what do you think?" He asked her.
"About?"
"The necklace."
"What about it?"
"Do you like it?"
"You know it." She spun around to face him again and she kissed him. He ran his hands down to her hips and lifted her onto the dresser (like that scene in "The Fast & The Furious" with Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez).
"I have to get to work." He said while struggling to pull away from her.
"Ouch, Fox. That really hurts. You just leave me when we get started." She said while hopping off the dresser and walking towards him.
He turned to face her with his hand on the doorknob of their bedroom. He said, "I'll come home at lunch so we can finish what I started okay?"
"Not good enough." She replied with a smile.
"Not good enough huh?" He said with a smile. He let go of the doorknob and dropped his briefcase. He picked her up and carried her to their bed to make Teresa his.
** End of Flashback **
Dylan was watching Teresa rubbing her neck and smiling. He spoke to himself, "She's remembering him again. What is it with this girl and her infatuation with Fox? Is there nothing I can do to make her forget him?" Dylan walked down the hall and grabbed his keys and wrote Teresa a note, which he placed on the fridge for her to see. It read: Teresa, I've gone out to get something. Be back in about an hour or so. I have my cell if you need me. Dylan.
He posted the note and took off to a jewelry store to buy Teresa two things . . . a diamond necklace . . . and a ring.

Sorry it took so long for this chapter. I've been very busy, as you could have guessed. I'm hoping for good reviews with ideas, comments, concerns or questions.
NEXT CHAPTER: 1. Dylan gives the necklace to Teresa and the ring. How will she react? 2. Fox struggles to come back onto the scene. Will he? And at what cost? 3. Surprises for Teresa. What could it be? Who could it be? Why?
