Chapter 4
Fox looked at Theresa wide-eyed. "You...You can't marry me?!? Why the hell not?" He asked, the volume of his voice rising with each word that was spoken. "Fox don't be mad. Please. Look I'm just not ready for marriage. I thought I was, I thought I could marry you. But now I know I just can't. Fox we can't rush into this. I know we just made love and we told each other that we love each other. I meant what I said. But I think we should just take things slow. That means no more lovemaking. Yes we can tell each other we love each other and we can kiss, but that's as far as it goes. I don't want to get my heart broken again. I know that's a really dumb explanation, but I can't rush into this." Theresa explained. Fox fell back against the pillows. "Alright Theresa. I hear what you're saying. I'm so sorry for pushing this on you." He said in an apologetic voice.
"Fox, it's ok." She told him. Fox put the ring away. One day we'll be married Theresa, he thought as he juggled the ring box in his pocket. Both were startled by a light knock on the door. "Mommy can I come in?" The sweet little girl asked. "Yes Katelyn come on in" Theresa called. The little angel walked in and walked up to her father. Fox picked his little girl up and swung her around. "How was the movie, princess?" "It was nice daddy." Katelyn smiled. She knew something was going on, but she didn't no what. "Sweetie do you want to go to the park today?" Fox asked. The little girl's eyes lit up. "Yeah!" She exclaimed. "Ok, well let's get you dressed." Katelyn took her mother's hand and exited the bedroom.
They arrived at Harmony Park. Fox turned off the ignition and got out of the car. He went around to the other side and opened Theresa's door for her. "Thank you Fox. You're such a gentleman" She smiled at him and leaned up to kiss his cheek. Fox closed the door and went to open the trunk while Theresa got Katelyn. He pulled out the picnic basket and the blanket and shut the door to the trunk. "Come on daddy" The little girl called, as she ran ahead of him, along with her mother. Fox couldn't help but smile at the two women he loved. If only he and Theresa were married, Fox would've been so much happier. But he was fine with them just dating. For now.
"Come on Fox, come and push us" Theresa called. "Yeah, come on daddy" Katelyn said sweetly. He walked over to his two favorite girls. "Alright girls. Princess your first" Fox started to push Katelyn. Before she went to high, he stopped and started to push Theresa. After getting tired of swinging, the little girl decided she wanted to go on the slide. "Wee" Katelyn exclaimed, coming down the slide and landing in her father's arms. He picked up his daughter and brought her over to the blanket, where Theresa and their picnic awaited them. "Daddy loves you so much, princess." He whispered in her ear. "I love you too daddy!" They sat down, Katelyn in Fox's lap, the three began to eat their food. "Mmm...I love turkey" Katelyn said, mouth full of bread, turkey, mayo and lettuce. "Sweetheart, what did mommy say about talking with your mouth full? I said not to do it." Theresa said sternly. She swallowed the food that was in her mouth and apologized. "Sorry mommy" "It's ok baby. I'm not mad, but it's just impolite to talk with your mouth full"
"Fox can you take Katelyn to go feed the ducks while I clean up here?" "Yup, sure. Come on sweetie." Fox held out his hand and waited for his little girl to take it. She took it and they walked down to the pond to feed the ducks. "Like this daddy?" She asked tossing a slice of bread into the river. "No sweetie. Here take this slice of bread. Break a piece off of it and throw it into the river." She did as her father instructed and the ducks ate the bread. "Good job sweetheart" Fox smiled at his daughter. She was growing up so fast. It seemed like it was only yesterday she was in diapers. "Fox, Katelyn let's go" Theresa called. "Come on daddy. I'll race you" The little girl said and ran off. "I'm coming princess" Fox exclaimed coming up behind his little girl and scooping her up. The three walked back to Fox's Maxima and got in. They headed over to Blockbuster to rent some movies.
"Daddy let's get Brother Bear" She said, holding up the DVD box. "Ok sweetheart. Would you like any other movies?" Fox asked. "Nope. I'm all set" She replied. "Ok, well let's go find mommy" A few minutes later, after walking around Blockbuster, they finally found Theresa in the Horror section. "Hey there you are beautiful." He said, she turned her head and blushed. "Fox, if I rent Texas Chainsaw Massacre will you watch it with me?" She asked. "Yup, sure, I love that movie" "Cool. Alright, did you two find what you wanted?" She asked. "Yeah, Katelyn got Brother Bear and I got Gothika." Fox stated. "Ok, let's go pay." She said and the three headed up to the front to pay.
After Theresa and Fox watched Brother Bear with their daughter, they put Katelyn to bed. The little girl had fell asleep throughout the middle of the movie. Theresa slipped on her daughters Barbie nightgown and tucked her in. "Goodnight sweetie, mommy and daddy love you" She whispered and her and Fox left their child's room. "Fox, let's just go to our room to watch the movie. I'm pretty sure I'll fall asleep on the couch during the movie." "Alright. Well just go get ready for bed and I'll get the DVD from the living room. Then I'll get changed in the bathroom" He said. Fox slipped into the comfortable, cozy bed with his girlfriend and pushed PLAY on the remote. She crawled into his arms and draped her left arm around his waist. How was he suppose to keep his hands to himself tonight. By having her bare arm on his bare chest, she was making this whole situation very tough. They watched the movie, Theresa was scared as hell, jumping every few minutes. Finally the movie ended and the two fell asleep, their arms wrapped around each other, and both snuggled in each others arms.
Fox looked at Theresa wide-eyed. "You...You can't marry me?!? Why the hell not?" He asked, the volume of his voice rising with each word that was spoken. "Fox don't be mad. Please.
