What Makes You Different Ch. 12 Theresa held her breath in anticipation as their eyes locked upon one another. She saw intensity and hunger sparkle in his deep blue eyes, which caused her heart to skip a beat. Fox traced Theresa's jaw line with his fingers, and then brought them to her red tinted cheeks, rubbing his thumb in small circles. Closing her eyes, and licking her lips, Theresa eagerly awaited for his next move. Her reaction to his touch sent sparks down his spine and his hunger to taste her lips was almost unbearable. He leaned towards Theresa's face, but stopped as he took one last glance at the angelic face. My was she beautiful and innocent! With that thought in his head, he once again pulled his face towards Theresa's, but instead of brushing his lips against hers, he whispered in her ears, "I always win. Didn't anyone every tell you that?" With that said, he got off the ground and help Theresa up. Disappointed and relieved at the same time, Theresa decided to forget about what almost happened. She didn't want to make a big deal of the entire situation just in case her ride didn't think much of it. It must be the hormones acting up when you are within close proximity of the opposite sex Theresa rationalized. Besides, why would a guy like Fox be interested in little old me, assuming I was even interested? He wouldn't be so get the thought out of your mind Theresa. Anyways, Michael is the one I want. Michael. But somewhere in the back of her mind, the entire image of what just happened kept replaying. After helping Theresa in her seat, Fox started the ignition and headed towards school. All he could think about was her soft, kissable lips. He wanted desperately to taste her lips, but he didn't want to take advantage of her. He didn't know what he felt towards her, and he didn't want to string her along like he did with all the other girls in his past. The last thing he wanted to do was to hurt her. Fox has never put others before himself, until now. She made him act differently whenever he was around her or thought about her. It was as if she was in control of him, and he did not like it one bit. OK Fox, just pretend that she is like any other girl. Damn, she wasn't like the other girls. She was definitely different from all the girls he's ever known.

Both lost in deep thought, they reached the school in what seemed like seconds. Acting as if nothing changed their relationship, they began their school day as normal as they could, given the circumstances. But normal was not what the day would hold for them.
