Ch.8
"Fox, are we there yet?"
"Almost Resa…I swear you are the most impatient person I know."
"Oh shut up and just tell me where we're going!"
Fox stopped walking.
"Ok…you ready?"
"YES! Just take this blindfold off of me!" she laughed. She loved when Fox surprised her like this.
"Ok here we go…" he walked behind her.
"Uno…"
"Fox!"
"Dos…."
"Oh brother" she laughed.
"Tres!" he reached up and took the blindfold off.
Teresa's eyes squinted in the sun as she adjusted her eyes. When they were in focus, she looked around.
"Oh Fox." She whispered.
They were in the gardens at the Crane estate. There, on the ground, right by the lake, was a blanket. The blanket was covered in red rose petals. Beside it was a basket of food and bucket of ice with a bottle of wine.
"You made me a picnic?"
"Is it too cheesy? We don't have to stay-"
She grabbed him, pulling him close and kissing him.
They pulled away for air.
"So I take it you like it?"
She smiled.
"I love it!"
She ran over to the blanket and sat down. She patted beside her.
"Well come her handsome."
Fox ran over tackling her. She laughed as she fell backwards.
Fox looked down into her eyes, softly stroking her cheek.
"You are so beautiful" he whispered.
She wiped away a piece of hair that had fallen over his eyes.
"Thank you Fox."
He leaned in, gently kissing her nose.
"Anytime Resa."
They lay there for a moment.
Teresa closed her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Fox asked.
"I cant breath." She choked out.
Panic struck Fox's face.
"What? You cant breath? Oh my god, are you ok? Why cant you breath?"
She smiled.
"I think it's because you're still on top of me."
He looked at her.
She broke out into a fit of laugher.
"Ohhh that's cruel Teresa, really cruel."
He sat up.
She got up, trying to quit laughing.
"Aw I'm sorry Fox I was just kidding around."
"Pretending that you cant breath isn't very fun Resa."
She made a pouty face.
"Don't be mad Fox…please?"
He looked at her.
"Damn it Resa not the eyes…"
She crawled over to him, sitting on his lap.
She began kissing his neck.
He chuckled.
"Well I guess I can forgive you." He moaned.
She smiled.
"Good." She said in between kisses.
"Teresa shouldn't we eat first? I brought all of this food."
"I'd rather just get straight to dessert."
He laughed.
"That can be arranged," he said, kissing her.
They stayed out there for a few hours, talking, kissing, and eating. It was the most fun they had had in a long time.
Their fun was quickly interrupted however by the sound of an ambulance.
They looked towards the mansion.
"We better go check that out." Fox said. He grabbed Teresa's hand and they ran towards the house anxious to see what had happened.
They were shocked to see Ethan being led into the back of the ambulance, Gwen close behind.
"Oh my god!" Teresa ran towards them.
"Gwen what happened?"
"I'll explain at the hospital," she said hopping into the ambulance.
"We'll meet you there." Fox said. Him and Teresa ran to their car and drove off.
