Chapter 6—A long, overdue discussion

After Fox leaves the cabin, Theresa heads to the veranda to reflect on her life.

"How is it that just when I thought I was over Ethan, he's back in my life, and my feelings for him are so powerful? Is this a sign, God? Am I really meant to be with Ethan?"

"Well, I think you are..." A voice suddenly says.

Theresa turns around, and stares into the most bluest eyes ever seen. "Ethan." She says on a whisper.

"God, let me prove to Theresa how much I love her." Ethan thinks to himself as he approaches Theresa.

"We need to talk, Ethan." Theresa says.

"I agree. Come on, let's get breakfast ready, and we'll have our talk."

While the two make breakfast in the kitchen, Theresa flashes back to the messes they used to make at Pilar's house when baking cookies.

"What are you smiling about?" Ethan asks.

"Just thinking about the time we tried baking cookies, do you remember?" Theresa asks, with a glint in her eye as she holds up some flour she was using to make pancakes.

While Ethan is laughing, he says, "You wouldn't dare, Theresa!" Before he knows it, Theresa splatters flour all over him. "That's it, you asked for it!" The two then proceed to chase each other around the room, trying to get the other.

Finally, they collide together, Theresa on top of Ethan, who is lying in a puddle of flour.

"Got you." Theresa says as she stares at Ethan's face.

"Yeah, Theresa, you definitely have me." Ethan then pulls Theresa's face close to his, and begins to kiss her slowly.

"Oh, God, this is heaven!" Ethan thinks to himself.

"Should I even be kissing Ethan? It feels so right...and yet, we have so much to discuss..." Thinking this, Theresa slowly pulls away, allowing her and Ethan to catch their breath. "Can we skip eating and talk right now?" "Yeah, Theresa, let's go to the veranda."

Once the two are sitting, Ethan goes first. "Theresa, the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was giving you up. I fell for Rebecca and Gwen's twisted game of revenge on you. I don't know what to really say to get you to forgive me. I know I don't even deserve your forgiveness for being a jackass, but at the same time, I realize that you are the only, ONLY woman I want to be with. I hope with all your heart that you will forgive me, and give us another chance."

Theresa takes a deep breath after listening to Ethan's confession, "You know, when I got here to LA, I was so hurt. I mean, you chose Gwen over me, when we both knew that you wanted me to spend the rest of your life with. It hurt so much, you know? When Fox came here, I thought, "This is some sign that I need to move on. And even while I was with him...you were still in the back of my mind. It's almost crazy, you know? We have this drawn connection every time we see each other."

"I feel it too, Theresa. I do..."

"I know, Ethan. I'm just so afraid that you'll hurt me, again. I need to be in a relationship with stability, not just a fling."

"I promise you, Theresa, I will do everything in my power to make you see that we belong together." Ethan promises as he holds Theresa's face in his hands, and kisses her gently.

"Please, God, let Ethan and I have a second chance." Theresa thinks as she kisses Ethan.

"Please God, let me show Theresa how much she means to me." Ethan thinks to himself, as he pulls Theresa closer to him, never wanting to let go.
