Chapter 2:
The handsome stranger approaces the Crane mansion front door and knocks.
"Hello miss."
"Oh.. Come in Mr Crane." Phyllis, Rebecca's maid said.
"Wheres Father dearest?"
"Mr Crane is in the library."
"Thank you."
He makes his way to the library.
"Father!" he said sarcastically opening the door.
"Oh I'm sorry for interrupting snack time." he said walking in on Julian and Rebecca playing one of their 'special games'.
"Julian who is this?" Rebecca said covering up.
"Ahhh, this must be the awfully popular Rebecca."
"And you are?"
"Fox. Julian and Ivy's son."
"Please don't remind me son."
"Julian!" Rebecca said getting her handbag and starting to hit him.
"Rebecca please! Let me talk to Fox alone for a moment."
"Okay Pookie. I'll be back in a minute for round 2."
"Gross." Fox said quietly.
Rebecca leaves. Fox takes a seat.
"Well Fox I haven't seen you in... when was the last time we met?"
"A long time ago. Well Father, looks like you haven't changed one bit."
"Yes I have for your information, Fox."
"How?"
"Well I'm in love."
"With who? Rebecca? Because I don't call that love."
"Oh and what would you call love? You've been through millions of girls. Who was there... Lets see.. Melissa, Jasmine, the lovely and foxy Denise, hmmm Joanne, Claire and oh lets not forget your longest relationship to that virgin... what was her name again?"
"Emily."
"Yes Emily. And that ended when she told you that she was saving herself until marriage."
"You don't know the full story paps."
Theresa slams the door open with anger in her eyes. Narrowly missing Fox.
"Julian you pig!"
"Oh Theresa... how are you dear?"
"Don't you dear me you scum bag! I know about your so called fling with Dr Russell! I've just been to the Russells and they are falling to pieces because of you!"
"What was that about you changing father?" Fox interrupted.
Theresa turns around to see the handsome Fox sitting on the chair looking too damn hot that Theresa couldn't take her eyes of him.
"Excuse me? Who are you?" she asked.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Fox Crane. Julian and Ivy's son."
"Well hi Fox. I'm Theresa. I'm engaged to your brother, Ethan."
"Yeah thats why I'm here. I'm here for the wedding."
"I'm glad your here."
"Well, excuse me you two but I have a company to run here." Julian butted in.
"I'm not finished with you yet Julian!"
"What on Earth is going on?" Rebecca came in.
"Rebecca, just the person I wanted to see."
"Why? You don't like me and I don't like you so what could you possibly want?"
"I thought I would let you know of your...'Pookie's' little games here he calls love!"
"Theresa there you are!" Ethan rushed in and kissed her on the cheek.
"Well well, well Fox buddy! How are you?"
"I'm fine Ethan. Just getting to know your fiance"
"She's great isn't she?"
"Your a lucky man Eth's"
"Theresa! What were you about to tell me about Julian?" asked Rebecca.
Theresa looks at Julian then at Rebecca then at Fox then to Ethan.
"Nothing. It's nothing. It was just about Crane Industries."
"Fine. Now I would appreciate it if you all left."
"I'm gone." Theresa stormed out of the library followed by Ethan and Fox.
"I would hate to think what their doing now." smiled Fox.
"Same."
"Hey Resa..."
The phone rings.
"I'll get that. Excuse me one moment." Ethan went to answer the phone leaving Theresa and Fox talking.
"So Theresa. Why didn't you tell Rebecca about Julian?"
"I couldn't Fox. It would tear Rebecca apart."
"Since when did you start caring about Rebecca?"
"I don't know. I just know that being separated from a lover is terrible. I have experienced that pain you know?"
"So have I. Many times."
"It's terrible isn't it?"
"Yes it is."
They have a moment of silence staring at each other.
"We have a lot in common don't we?" said Fox breaking the uncomfortale silence.
"Yes we do."
"Hey Theresa, I need to go to the country club to confirm the place." Ethan interrupted.
"Why?"
"Because... we're having our reception there!"
"Oh my God! Ethan! That's what I've always wanted!"
"I'm happy for you guys. I wish I had a fiance to love and make happy."
Theresa couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She felt a bond with her future brother in-law.
"You know Ethan, I might come with you!" said Theresa.
"Okay... But there's only need for one of us to go."
"I just wanna spend some time with you!" she said hugging him.
"Well I'll go and un pack." Fox said making his way upstairs.
"Okay buddy! See you at dinner!"
Fox's bedroom....
"I can't be. Don't be stupid Fox, she's your brothers love."
Fox kept on wondering why he and Theresa shared a bond. Was he in love with her? No he can't be. It's his brothers fiance he's talking about. She doesn't love him. She loves Ethan. Ethan is so lucky. -Fox thought.
"I'm not in love with Theresa!" he said out loud.
"Fox?"
Fox turned around and got a shock at who he saw.
