Chapter 5

The guys had all left for their 2 week road trip. All of the girls assembled at Theresa's house to watch the team's first away game. Belle, Mimi, Whitney, Cassie, Kay, Nicole, Beth, and Abby were there. Belle and Mimi were used to their boyfriends being away for periods at a time.

Before the game started

"Belle, Brady called me today and told me that your father is offering me a position at Basic Black. We are going to be working together every day!" Theresa was so grateful that Brady talked to his father for her.

"Brady told me that he is going to let Fox pursue you. Fox told Brady that he really likes you. You must have left quite an impression on him!" Belle said elbowing Theresa in her side.

"I hardly know Fox but I really do like him. I am hoping that he is going to call me after the game. I am so excited that he is pitching tonight's game." Theresa was really excited to see Fox on tv.

"I love watching Shawn play. He just loves the game so much. And those uniforms really flatter him." Belle said thinking of Shawn and the goodbye they shared several times last night.

"I am really excited to see Ethan play first base and watch him squat in those tight pants." Nicole said practically drooling.'

"What happened between you and Ethan anyway?" Beth asked Nicole.

"I think you can all imagine!" Nicole was thinking that she could actually settle down with him. She only hoped that he felt the same way.

"I have good news. Chad and I are a couple!" Whitney was practically shouting.

"Beth, do you like Luis?" Belle asked.

"Yes, he is so great. He told me to make sure I watch tonight's game." Beth liked Luis and she knew that she had very strong feelings for him.

Cassie and Abby were both hoping that Philip liked them.

"Girls, lets get ready to watch the game!"

THE LOCKER ROOM

"Fox, what do you think of Theresa?" Shawn asked Fox. Shawn already knew that Fox liked her a lot and Shawn knew that Theresa liked him because Belle had already told him several times.

"Theresa is so amazing. I think that she could be the one for me. I actually have a surprise planned for her and the other girls. I think that everyone will be really happy." Fox said thinking of his surprise.

"Bro, tell us what you have planned! Whatever it is, I hope it involves Nicole!" Ethan said.

"I am not telling anyone until I tell Theresa and the other girls after the game." Fox said

"Fox, lets go get ready for the game. You are pitching tonight! Try to remember that while you are dreaming about Theresa." Shawn and Fox left to go to the bullpen.

AFTER THE GAME

"What an amazing game!" Belle shouted.

The guys had played a great game. Fox pitched a complete game. Shawn hit a homerun. Ethan made some great plays at first. Chad hit a triple. All of the other men made some great plays. The team had won 9-0.

BELLE AND SHAWN'S CONVERSATION

"Hey babe I miss you so much." Shawn wished that Belle was there.

"I miss you too, Shawn but it is only the first night so lets not try to focus on the fact that we can only talk on the phone for the next 2 weeks." Belle really did miss her boyfriend.

"Actually Fox said that he has a surprise for you girls. But he will not tell us what it is until he tells Theresa. Fox really does like her! I hope that everything works out for them two." Shawn was wondering what Fox's surprise was.

"Where is Fox? When should he be calling?" Belle loved surprises.

"Fox is actually in the hot tub. He is trying to relax his arm. He pitched a really great game tonight and I know that he is in a lot of pain. He should be calling within the hour. But don't tell Theresa let him surprise her."

"Shawn, that is so evil. She is going to think that Fox does not like her. All of the girls are on the phone with their guys except for Theresa" Belle was hoping that Fox was not playing games with Theresa but she knew that he was not that type of guy.

Belle and Shawn talked for another few minutes. Then Shawn, had to leave because he wanted to get in the shower before leaving the field.

THERESA'S HOUSE

"Belle, did Shawn say where Fox was? Maybe he is out with some other girl." Theresa was hoping that she was overreacting.

"Shawn said that he was in the hot tub because his arm really hurt from pitching the entire game."

"Wasn't it a great game? Shawn can really hit a ball." Theresa was amazed by the entire game.

Just then Theresa heard her cell phone ringing. She looked at the phone and noticed that the caller was F. Crane. She was so excited she actually forgot that the phone was ringing. She picked it up on the 5th ring.

"Fox, I miss you!" Theresa told him sweetly.

"Gorgeous, I miss you too!" Fox was back in his penthouse at the hotel.

"I thought maybe you were out with some other guy because you did not answer your phone right away."

"No, I watched your entire game. I did not move from my seat once. Did I ever tell you that you look great in your uniform?' Theresa thought of the way that he looked in it earlier during the game.

"Thank you! So what did you think of the game?" Fox was getting ready to tell her what he had planned.

"You pitched a wonderful game. How does your arm feel Shawn told Belle that you said it hurt a little. Please be careful. I know that I have only known you for 2 days but I do not want anything to happen to you." Theresa was genuinely concerned for him.

"Actually, it is really sore but there is something you can help me with. You could give me a massage." Fox was smiling from ear to ear.

"Hun, how could I do that. I mean I am in Harmony and you and the other guys are in Los Angeles." Theresa was confused.

"Call the girls into your room and I will tell you!" All of the girls came into Theresa's bedroom.

"I am sending the Crane jet to pick up you and all the girls in Harmony and fly to LA You need to be at the airport in twenty minutes." All of the girls screamed they were so excited. They all rushed home to pack and look nice for their men. Theresa was still on the phone with Fox.

"Fox, I need to go and pack my things."

"Don't worry, Theresa everything is set. There is no need to pack your bags. Just hang up now and get to the airport." Fox was dying to see her.

"Oh and one more thing, I will be waiting up for you tonight so that I can get my massage. When you get to the hotel, just ask them at the desk for your key to my room and I will be waiting. Bye Gorgeous I can't wait to see you." Fox hung up the phone.

Theresa was in her room wondering how she could get so lucky. Fox Crane was the best thing to ever happen to her.
