Ch.15
Teresa walked Luis to his car, hidden behind the warehouse.
"I have to leave town for a few days…I cant let them suspect I was here."
"Will I hear from you soon?"
"I'll call in a few days…until then, don't mention this to anyone."
"I wont."
Luis hopped in his car and drove and turned it on.
"Hey Teresa, do me a favor will ya?"
"Sure…what is it?"
"Give Sheridan a kiss for me?"
She laughed.
"I'll see what I can do."
She watched as he drove away into the night, not knowing where he was going. It worried her. It was like she had lost him all over again.
As she walked back towards her house, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Where have you been????"
"Fox?"
"Teresa I have been trying to call you for the past 2 hours! You had me worried sick."
She laughed.
"I'm sorry sweetie…I've just been out. I had my phone turned off."
"Are you ok? You sound a little upset."
"Me?" she asked. "I'm fine…actually, I'm doing great."
"Are you sure?"
"Fox, please stop worrying…I'm fine. How was your meeting?"
"Long and boring, as usual. But hey, a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do."
Teresa stopped dead in her tracks.
"What did you just say?"
"Ummm a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do?"
She smiled, soaking in his words.
"You know what Fox, you're right…you gotta do what you gotta do…"
~And I have to make Rebecca pay ~ she thought.
"Teresa, are you feeling ok?"
She snapped out of her daze.
"Yea, I'm just sleepy. I'm going to go to bed I think. I'll see ya tomorrow Fox…Love ya!" she hung up the phone.
Fox sat there.
"Hello?"
No answer.
"Ok that was weird," he said to himself.
"Something's not right…"
He fell back on to his bed.
"I guess I'll find out tomorrow…"
Back in Harmony, Teresa went to Sheridan's cottage.
She knocked on the door.
A few moments later, Sheridan appeared, rubbing her eyes.
"Teresa? It's almost 2 in the morning…what's wrong?"
She smiled.
"Nothing is wrong Sher…I just wanted to say hi."
Sheridan raised an eyebrow.
"And this couldn't wait until tomorrow?"
Teresa was beaming. She knew that when Sheridan knew the truth about Luis, it would be the happiest moment in her life.
Without thinking, Teresa leaned in and kissed Sheridan's cheek."
"Teresa? What are you doing? What was that?"
"Let's just call it a gift from someone that loves you…" she said, before turning around and walking away.
Sheridan stood there dumbfounded.
"Poor Teresa," she said.
"I think she's finally gone crazy!"
She closed the door, shaking her head.
Teresa laughed as she walked away.
"I wish I could tell you that was from Luis Sheridan."
"But you'll know it soon enough."
