Chapter 5
He had been living with them for almost three months now. He thought about moving out because their physical attraction to each other was just way too much. She supposedly loved him so much, but why wouldn't she accept his proposal and spend the rest of her life with him. Fox didn't get some things. He slid out of bed carefully, he didn't want to wake Theresa or their daughter that had slept in between them. He thread his fingers through his blonde hair. This was it, tonight he'd ask Theresa to marry him, again. If she didn't accept he was moving out and he was going to move on with his life. Fox wanted more out of life than just a girlfriend. He wanted a wife, someone he could share the rest of his life with. He wanted lots of children. And to top it off he wants a dog, a Husky. Fox walked downstairs to get his clothes from the dryer. He opened the dryer and pulled out jeans, a shirt, boxers and socks.
Theresa woke up with her daughters head on her chest. Carefully and slowly, she lifted Katelyn little head off her chest and got out of bed. She walked out into the living room and noticed that Fox was no where to be found. He probably had to run some errands, Theresa thought. She put the coffee going and got a mug form the cabinet and the Hazelnut cream from the fridge. Theresa poured herself a cup of coffee, added cream and sugar, then went to watch tv. She changed the channel to HBO. The movie What A Girls Wants was on. Theresa loved that movie, so she decided to watch it.
An hour and a half later, Fox walked through the front door. "Hey beautiful, you're up, finally" He said grinning. He leaned down to kiss her lips. "Yes I'm up. Where did you go?" She asked, shutting off the tv. She stood up, and got herself another cup of coffee. "Is our little girl still sleeping?" He asked. "Yes, and it's already 11. She's so little, how can she sleep this late?" She said. "Hmm...I don't know. Look tonight I would like to take you out. Would you like to go?" He asked. "Yeah sure Fox. But we don't have a babysitter." "Ok. Oh and yes, we do have a babysitter. Your brother and my aunt. We drop Katelyn off at 6." Fox said. "Oh ok. Well I'm just going to call your aunt and see if she'd like to go shopping with me. Would you mind staying with Katelyn?" "Nope I wouldn't mind at all. Actually, see if Luis and Madison wants to come over and chill with Katelyn and me." "Alright." Theresa headed to her bedroom and shut the door behind her. She picked up the cordless phone and dialed Sheridan's number. While doing that she grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt from her closet. "Hello" "Hey Luis, is Sheridan home?"
She sat in her car waiting for Sheridan to get there. Her cell phone began to ring. "Hey, are you here?" "Yes, meet me at the main entrance" "Alright" Theresa closed her phone and placed it back in her light blue, Coach purse. "Hey Sher, glad you could come" She smiled and hugged her sister-in-law. "Well I'm glad you asked me to come. We needed a girls day out" Sheridan smiled warmly and the two entered Harmony Mall. "Theresa this dress is absolutely beautiful!" Sheridan exclaimed, holding up a short, black dress, that hung low at the top. "Yeah, that is beautiful. I'll go try that on" She said, taking the dress from Sheridan. Theresa tried the dress on. It fir her perfectly and hugged to her curves. "That's dress looks amazing on you hun" Sheridan said. "Thanks. I think tonight's the night. I think Fox is going to ask me to marry him, again." "What are you going to say if he does ask?" Sheridan asked.
Theresa walked through the front door. "Hello?" She called. She heard little footsteps running down the hallway. "Hey sweetheart. Where's daddy?" She asked. "Outside with uncle Luis. Madison and me are watching Strawberry Shortcake" Katelyn said smiling brightly. "Oh cool." Katelyn walked back to her room and Theresa walked to hers. She placed her bags on the floor and walked back out to the kitchen. She got poured her self a glass of ice tea and joined her boyfriend and her brother out on the deck. "Hey guys" "Hey Theresa" They said. Fox leaned down to give Theresa a kiss. "Did you girls fine anything good?" Luis asked. "Yes we did. Alright well I have to start getting ready. Luis when you leave your going to take Katelyn too, right?" "Yes. Have a great time tonight." Luis said. He placed a kiss on top of her head.
"Theresa are you almost ready?" Fox asked, tapping lightly on their bedroom door. "Yeah, hold on a minute" She said. Theresa check herself one more time before leaving the house. They entered the restaurant hand in hand. The happy couple was seated by the window that was facing the lovely sunset. Fox got a bottle of wine for them. They ordered their food and just enjoyed each others company. Fox reached across the table a threaded his fingers through hers. "Theresa you know I love you and I know you know why we are here tonight. Am I right?" "Yes you are" She smiled. "Resa I love you more than life it self. I want you to be my wife, I want to be your husband. I want to spend the rest of our lives together, as one. I want you to be mine's forever. And the only way to make sure that is going to happen is to marry you." He let go of her hand and slid out of his chair. He kneeled down before her, "Theresa will you marry me?"
