Ch. 23
The music blared throughout the entire house, causing Fox to be surprised that the law enforcers haven't stopped the after party. Then again, the host of the party, Terry's best friend and co-cheerleader's parents made substantial contributions to the police department each year. If it weren't for this, the party surly would have been busted by now. Fox acknowledged the people at the party who attempted to grab his attention, many whom he didn't know. With a smile plastered on his face, and a nod, he tried to acknowledge each person. Somehow all the attention he use to love getting didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was getting Theresa to talk to him and getting revenge for himself and Michael, but more importantly, for the sweetest person in the world. With this in mind, he looked around for Terry.
He walked into the kitchen, knowing the type of person she is. Upon seeing her, he shook his head as he saw her doing what he thought she would be doing. She was belittling the help. 'It's no wonder everyone hates her' thought Fox. He felt a ping of pity for her, but that vanished quickly as he saw her fling a tray off the hands of an elderly maid. Fox had to force himself to not say anything to ruin his plans.
Fox walked up behind Terry, wrapping his arms around her waist, moving close to her until his body was pressed against her back. He felt Terry's body tense up by his action. Sensing she was about the reprimand the 'intruder', he whispered in her ear, "Hey babe," in a deep, husky voice.
Terry instantly recognized his voice but was confused by it's owner. 'Doesn't he hate me?' She slowly turned around, holding her breath in hopes that she wasn't wrong about who was behind her.
"Well hey there yourself." Terry pulled out her signature move – putting a finger on his chest. "Here I thought you were mad at me for what happened earlier, not that I'm complaining."
"Actually, I finally decided to be honest with you."
"What do you mean?"
"I have been playing hard to get."
"Oh really?" A huge smile began to form on her face.
"Yeah. The thing is, I'm not usual a one girl kind of guy. I was trying to deny my feelings for you and at the same time, trying to make you jealous. I know it doesn't make that much sense, but what can I say? You drive me crazy, but in a good way." Fox grabbed Terry's hand and kissed it gently, trying to be as believable as possible. He almost felt like he was going to hurl after kissing even her hand. He hoped that she didn't try to place a kiss on his lips.
"Not that I'm questioning your motives, but what did you see in Nerd-resa? How did she fall into your master plan?" Terry was relieved that Fox was responding to her. Actually, she wasn't too surprised, because what man in his right mind would reject her? None of course! Even blind men were able to see her beauty.
"Nerd-resa played a big part of my plan." Fox tried to imagine Theresa's face instead of Terry's so he would seem sincere. "I knew that the moment I pretended to like her, the more interested you would be in me. I guess love does make you do crazy things."
Terry was taken back by his revelation. Fox, the player of the school, was IN LOVE with her. The day couldn't have gotten better for her. "Can you say that again?"
"What? That I love you." Terry nodded her head. "I love you Terry. No other woman in this world can hold a candle to you." Terry began to blush, obviously happy from the words Fox just spoken. She knew that Fox couldn't possibility be in love with Theresa. 'I mean, what did she have that I didn't? Nothing!' And with that thought and before Fox knew it, Terry grabbed Fox's shirt, pulling him into a deep kiss.
