Chapter 5

A Confrontation

Fox couldn't help himself but he couldn't stop flirting with Theresa. The dinner was going great there wasn't a moment of silence between the two of them. Their laughter could be heard all the way into the public room.

**********************

A middle aged red headed woman looked up from her menu and scowled. "What the hell do you think those people are doing in there?" Asked the red headed woman. "I don't know and I don't think I want to know." Said the handsome but vastly graying man. "I mean... don't they realize how rude they're being?" "It's Thanksgiving dear I'm sure their celebrating." He said turning his attention back to his menu.

"Are you kidding me what could they possibly be celebrating." She said turning to see if she could spot the couple who were making such a racket.

The man sighed this Thanksgiving was pure hell. "Pookie why is it that we couldn't get the private room." Rebecca asked with a pout. Rebecca had begged Julian to take her back to LA so she could give Gwen and Ethan some time to patch up there relationship and when he had refused she had threatened to tell TC about the love he had for Eve.

"Someone has reserved the room already." He said massaging his temples. He had a headache the size of a small country. "Well can't you kick them out I mean it's not just that their making so much noise but I don't like sitting around with all these... these common people." Rebecca squealed. 'Oh how did I ever get involved with her?' Julian thought.

"I'm not going to kick out whoever is in that room so please...Rebecca can we enjoy our dinner without you complaining." Rebecca shifted her wait in her seat and pouted as she looked back at the menu. In truth Julian knew exactly who was in that room and he didn't want to bother them. All he was told was that his good for nothing son had requested the private room and had brought some broad with him. 'Well good for him at least he's not brooding over Whitney, I ruined her mother's life and I wasn't going to let that boy ruin hers.'

*Laughing hysterically*

"Fox... you know... just how to make any girl laugh." Theresa said in between fits of laughter. Fox had so many comments for that but none of them seemed appropriate at the moment. "Well I'm glad you're having a good time Theresa."

"Of course I'm having a good time I'm with you aren't I." Fox wore a look of shock for a moment before regaining his composer. "So... Theresa what do you want to do after dinner?" He asked. "Well I don't know Fox what ever you want to do." Theresa said.

Fox looked at Theresa, he was immersed in thought. "Fox?" "...." "Fox?" Theresa asked again wondering what he could possibly be thinking. "Hmm.... this is a hard decision..." "Fox!!" Theresa said punching Fox's arm playfully. Fox rubbed his shoulder in mock hurt giving Theresa a puppy dog look.

"Well... why don't we go dancing?" "You don't even have to ask I'd love to." Theresa said excitement shinning in her eyes. "All right let's go." Fox said getting up helping Theresa in the process.

Theresa and Fox left the room, walking towards the front of the restaurant. Theresa looked up at Fox. 'He can be so sweet at times and I bet he doesn't even realize it. It's a shame that Ivy is his mother.' "Oh shoot!" Theresa exclaimed.

"What?" Asked Fox. "I forgot my purse in the booth." Theresa said aggravated. "Well let's go back and get it." Fox said ready to turn back. "No you go ahead and get the car I'll just be a minute." "Are you sure?" "Of course, now go." Theresa said gently shoving him.

Fox turned and left. She walked quickly back to the booth, grabbing her purse. Just as she was about to turn to leave she was roughly grabbed and spun around. "What the.... REBECCA! What are you doing here? I thought you went back to Harmony."

"Not that it's any of your business but Julian and I decided to come back for Thanksgiving, Gwen and Ethan are making up so we decided to give them some time alone." Rebecca said smugly. The news hit Theresa like a ton of bricks.

'Ethan and Gwen are getting back together. No Ethan you can't... you can't abandon me.' Theresa thought hysterically. Images of her father flashed before her eyes. 'He can't abandon me like he did.' she thought tears brimming her eyes.

"Oh... is the little chalupa not happy." Rebecca said with a sneer. Theresa felt so dizzy... "Well Theresa this is my advice to you, stay away from Ethan, you've done enough, you've ruined his marriage, you've killed his baby, what other harm and pain are you going to cause him. 'I need to sit down... I feel so... so dizzy.'

"You look pale Theresa... Was it something I said?" "Theresa what's taking you so... Rebecca.... what are you doing here?" Fox asked his attitude immediately changing when he saw her.

"Oh... isn't this rich now that Theresa lost her chance with Ethan she immediately moves on to the next victim... if I were you Fox I'd watch myself around this one... She can KILL!" Rebecca said spitting out the last word with such venom that it shook Theresa to her very core.

Fox looked over at Theresa she was as white as a ghost. "Theresa..." Fox said slowly walking towards her. Theresa looked up at Fox but it was like she was looking right through him.

Fox's heart jumped into his throat when he saw Theresa's eyes role back into her head and just like Theresa, she floated to the ground like a flower petal floating gently in the breeze.
