Chapter 3:
"Mother? Your out of your wheelchair!"
"Yes. I got 2 of my Christmas wishes last year. Sam and being able to stand and walk again."
"I'm so happy for you!"
Fox walked over to his mother and hugged her.
"Fox... Did I hear you correct? Did you just say that you wern't in love with Theresa.?"
"Mother..."
"Oh my God! Your in love with Theresa!"
"Mother..."
"This fantastic! Theresa can go with you and Ethan and Gwen could hook up again!" she interrupted her son again.
"Mother, Theresa loves Ethan. Theres nothing I can do to change that!"
"Or is there?"
"No mother, I'm not attempting one of your ridiculous schemes."
"My you have grown up so much!"
"But yes, your right I do love Theresa."
"Didn't you only just meet her though?"
"Yes. It was love at first sight. But she doesn't love me! I'm not good enough for her."
"Nonsense!"
"You can win Theresa!"
"Mother, this is not a competition! Theresa is not the trophy."
"I know I know! But what are you going to do? The wedding is in two days."
"Just leave it be I guess."
"No! You can't do that! You love her!"
"Please don't make this any harder than it already is."
"I'm sorry darling. But if it's meant to be you'll end up together one day."
"Thanks mother."
"I shall be going now. If you need me I'm staying at Sam's okay?"
"Sure."
"Bye!"
Ivy leaves.
Next day:
Ethan is at work, Rebecca is shopping and Julian is at the country club bar. Theresa and Fox are the only ones in the house.
"Good morning Theresa!" Fox yelled out to her as she walked down the stairs still looking sleepy.
"Morning." she replied sitting on the couch.
They once again have a ackward silent moment.
Fox was nervous. He and Theresa alone in the house and they were having that silence again. Should he make a move on his brothers fiance? Or should he let Theresa be with Ethan? He decided to pull a few joks and put on the Fox charm to see if Theresa responded.
"Hey Theresa, heres a joke for ya: Why was number 10 scared?"
"I don't know!"
"Because 7 ate nine!"
Theresa laughs.
"Do you get it?" he asked.
"Yeah, 7 8 9, their all numbers in a row and that seven ate nine! Your such a funny man Fox! I know we'll get along great."
"Yeah we probably will."
Theresa stares into Fox's eyes. All of a sudden her world felt like it was changing.
"Fox..."
"Hush." he said before pulling her into a passionate kiss.
Theresa was in heaven. She never felt this way with Ethan. Her lips againist Fox's. It felt so real. That's because it is real!
