Lashing Out

As Ethan stares at a picture of Theresa and Little Ethan, he sighs. "Oh, Theresa, what are you doing to me...to your son?"

"Is it ALWAYS about Theresa?" A voice suddenly says.

"Gwen.."

"No, Ethan, don't even bother explaining. I can't believe you! You're still in love with her, aren't you? We're married, Ethan, or did you happen to forget that?!"

"Gwen, stop. You know I love you. I'm committed to you and our marriage."

"Really? Is that why I saw you on the TV in LA making out with Theresa on the beach?"

"When will you forget that, Gwen? I told you it was an accident, you said you forgave me."

"And you said you would stay away from Theresa, yet every time I look around, you're still with her or thinking of her!"

"Gwen, it was your idea to have her come here."

"Yeah, stupid me! What the hell was I thinking bringing your former lover here."

"Gwen, please, let's talk."

"Talk? We can't "talk" about Theresa because all it leads to is arguing. Face it, Ethan. She wants you back. I wouldn't be surprised if that baby she carried isn't even mine!"

As Gwen says this, Ethan thinks back on the night he made love in his bed with what he thought was Gwen.

Flashback

"I love you so much. I'm so glad you're home." Ethan says as he kisses Theresa's neck, thinking she is Gwen."

"Uh-huh." Theresa replies.

"You want me as much as I want you." Ethan says.

"Yes."

Present

"Gwen, of course that baby is ours! I mean don't you remember the night we made love when you came back from your trip?"

"The night we...Ethan, what are you talking about?"

"Gwen, you came home early from your trip. You came to our bed, and we made love. I remember it so well."

"Ethan, you're crazy. When I came home, you were fast asleep."

"No, that's impossible!"

"Ethan, I'm serious. If I didn't make love to you..then were you dreaming?"

"Maybe I was...it just felt like it was you and me..."

"Well, Ethan, it wasn't."

As Gwen leaves the living room, Ethan reflects on what she said. "No, it's not possible. Why can't I get making love to Theresa out of my mind? There's no way that Theresa and I made love to each other when Gwen left...is there?"

Coming Up
