Amanda smiled as she opened her eyes to feel the warm rays of the sun shinning down on her face. From what she could see through the opening, it was a beautiful day out. All the leaves had fallen outside by then. They now laid on the ground, each in a different color than the other, crushed and smashed by people's feet who had walked by sometime earlier. Through town a crisp, fall breeze swept through, sweeping the fallen leaves around where the wind pleased creating a beautiful fall scene that should've been a painter's inspiration.
As she sighed a smile crept suddenly on her face. She smiled at the sight of her brother all cramped into the little red chair beside her bed. His head was titled far back, his mouth was hanging wide open with a little bit of drool escaping the corner of his mouth. Amanda found this hysterical and began to laugh uncontrolably at this sight. Never before had she seen her brother sleeping in such fashion. Slowly Fox started to stir a bit, and after rubbing his eyes he opened them to see his sister dying of laughter.
"Do you find something funny?" he asked not knowing why she was laughing. He stood up and tried to remove some of the wrinkles in his clothes. He hadn't changed when he came back last night. He went straight into Amanda's room and stayed there until she had fell asleep. Feeling sorry for his sister, he decided to stay in her room and make sure that she didn't have anymore nightmares. She was able to sleep well for the rest of the night. No more nightmares came to her surprise. The nightmare that Fox had woken her up from usually appeared to her a couple of times a night. She wondered why this night was different.
"Well," she said trying to hold back her laughter, "you were sleeping. And your mouth was opened wide and you were drooling!" She laughed for once in a long time.
"And that's what was so funny?" He said looking at her dead in the eyes as he slowly started approaching her. Amanda slowly took a few steps backwards until she hit the wall. Fox smiled devilishly as he jumped forward and started tickling her. As Fox tickled her, Amanda cried out in pain from laughing to much. She begged and pleaded with him to stop, but Fox went on tickling her until they were interrupted.
Fox looked up and saw her standing there before him. She took his breathe away each time she walked into a room. "Hi," he said a little speechless. She walked slowly over to the chair that he had spent last night in and smiled as looked on. "I was going to call you and tell you..." he began but was cut off.
"It's okay, Fox. Theresa told me that your sister was back in town." Whitney said as she smiled sweetly and knowing that his eyes were gazing up and down her body. "It's hot in here isn't it?" She said removing her jean jacket to reveal her bare shoulders, driving Fox insane at the same time. She knew exactly what she was doing. Fox was crazy about her and she had kept him under her little finger for quiet some time now. She kept stringing him along on a line that was occupied already by Chad.
Did she care that she was playing with two men's hearts? No, not at all. She loved what she was doing and as long as she didn't get hurt everything was fine.
Amanda stood there rolling her eyes at Whitney. She couldn't believe this was the girl that Fox had fallen in love with. She knew the game that Whitney was playing. She had seen the same exact game being played at all of her schools by girls who tried to manipulate guys that they wanted for a good night. Amanda herself had played the game herself a couple times, but that was in the past. She could hardly believe that she had used those tactics to try and get a man. It was pathetic and that's exactly what she thought of Whitney.
"I'm Whitney," Whitney said as she offered Amanda her hand.
"Amanda, nice to meet you," she said as she shook her hand not really by choice. She didn't want to hurt her brother who was watching them both interact. He wanted Whitney and Amanda to get along with each other because he was thinking that Whitney would marry him sometime in the near future...at least he hoped for that. "Well, you you'll excuse me I have to get ready. Fox, you are going to introduce me to your friend, Chad, right?" She said looking at him once she said Chad's name.
Whitney became uncomfortable once she heard Chad's name, as did Fox. Fox noticed that Whitney was now in a different mood as he said, "Yeah, just give me a chance to take a shower. I'll take you by then."
"Great!" She smiled as Fox and Whitney left her room.
[i]I see I have some work to do[/i]
************************************************************
Fox stood by his door with a visibly shakened Whitney. He knew that she was confused with her feelings. She had told him that once not that long ago. "Do you want to come inside for a minute?" He said to her. She nodded her heard as tears welled up in her eyes. Fox lead in her his room and had her take a seat on his bed. Fox sat next to her leaving a little space between them. Fox knew that things could get out of control if he was closer to her. He left the door ajar in case something went on between them. Having the door open would remind him that someone could see them so it would change his mind instantly if they would get carried away.
"Fox," she sobbed, "why am I so confused? I thought I loved Chad, but I'm starting to have very strong feelings for you."
"Whitney," he said taking her hands and placing them on his chest, "do you feel that? Can you feel how fast my heart is beating right now?" She nodded with a smile forming on her face. "No one else makes my heart beat like this. Only you make me feel this way, Whitney. I'm not sure how I make you feel compared to Chad, but I know in my heart you are the only one for me." Whitney stared at him for a moment before sliding closer to her and locking her lips with his.
************************************************************
Amanda rushed downstairs with her hair all wet to answer the door. Breathlessly she opened the door and found Theresa before her tapping impatiently on an envelope in her hands. "Hi Theresa!" She smiled.
"Is Fox home?" she asked as she looked past Amanda for him. "I need to speak with him right now."
"Yeah," she said knowing why Theresa was here. "He's up in his room taking a shower. He should be out by now."
As Theresa stepped inside Amanda squeezed her hand a little to let her know that things were going to be okay. "He loves you, not her," she said surprising Theresa. Theresa smiled wishing that Amanda was right. She wished that she could go upstairs and spend the rest of her life with him, raise their child together, and grown old together, but she had been through so much heartach in her life that she wasn't as optimistic as she once was. "Go to him," Amanda laughed quietly as she gave Theresa a nudge.
As Theresa began walking upstairs she started to imagine what would happen. How would Fox react to this news? She hoped with all hope that he would be happy and would want to be a family, but she felt that he wouldn't see it that way. She knew something would prevent them from becoming a family. Theresa smiled as she stood outside his door and took a deep breath. Amanda stood in the distant smiling, watching Theresa slowly open the door. Both were horrified as they watched Fox and Whitney kissing. As tears filled her eyes, Theresa ran down the stairs ripping the letter into a million pieces. She slammed the door behind her, causing everyone in the house to come down and see what was happening. Amanda stood downstairs picking up the fragments of the torn up letter. Fox was confused at what was going on, but once he looked at Amanda he knew Theresa had seen him with Whitney.
