CHAPTER 5
Fox and Theresa continued to grow closer as friends. They hung out all the time even if it was just to sit in either of their rooms and talk. They talked about their childhood's, which Theresa felt sorry for the way Fox had to be brought up away from home and without a family. The subject of relationships was short for both of them because Theresa had only really been with Ethan and Fox never considered himself to be in a relationship. She liked to listen to him talk, as he did with her. It had been about a week since Fox had been home and he asked Theresa if she'd like to go dancing with him.
" Dancing huh?" Theresa asked.
"Yeah...why? Don't tell me you don't dance." He said looking her up and down.
"No, no, of course I dance...I just didn't know if you did." She said giggling.
"Oh, I see, because I'm white you think I can't dance. Well, in that case we are definitely going so I can show you I've got some moves! Get dressed, I'll be back in an hour!" He said walking out the door and into his room.
Theresa quickly jumped in the shower and got dressed. She wore a tube top dress that stopped at the knee. It was a peachy color and made her skin look amazing. She curled all of her hair into tiny ringlets and put on a little bit of makeup. She was putting her shoes on when she heard Fox coming to her door.
"It's open!" She yelled. He walked in just as she was strapping up her shoe and looked up at him.
"Woah." Fox said staring at her. "You look amazing." He said as she stood up off the bed.
"Thank you Fox. I thought you'd like it." She said winking at him grabbing her purse.
"Oh yeah, I like it. Are you ready for a night of dancing?"
"You bet I am." She responded. He opened the door for her and she walked out where they ran into Ethan in the hall.
"Theresa..." He said speechless looking at her. "Fox." He said in a frustrated tone. "Where are you two off to looking that like?" He asked Theresa.
"Not that it's any of your business but we are going dancing." She answered
"Dancing? Don't you think you should put a little more on? You know, to cover up...what if you get cold?"
"Ethan, this was actually one of your favorite dresses of mine. And if I get cold..."
"Then she's got me." Fox said interrupting. "Don't worry half bro...I'll take good care of her." He said wrapping his arm around her waist.
"See, I'm in good hands." She said touching his hand with hers.
"Theresa, being with Fox isn't being in good hands. It's being in dirty, disgusting womanizing hands." He started to get angry and Theresa could see it in his eyes.
"Ethan that's enough. Maybe that's the Fox you once knew, but if you even gave him half a chance, you'd see he wasn't like that anymore." She said defending Fox. "Come on Fox, let's go dancing." She said linking her fingers through his and leading the way down the stairs and out the door. Ethan stood in the hallway for a few seconds until he heard Gwen, "Ethan? Are you coming to bed?"
-----
Fox and Theresa arrived at the nightclub 'Deja Vu' around 11pm. They got out of the limo and walked directly into the club.
"Wow, I feel so special. Did you see all those people waiting on line? They must be so pissed at us for walking right in." Theresa said as they made their way through the entrance.
"Well, you are with a Crane my dear." He grinned. " Would you like to get a drink?"
"Sure." They made their way over to the bar. It was a beautiful nightclub. Lots of lights, mostly blues and purples. The bar had blue lights under it so it was lit up all the way around. They managed to find two seats available next to each other and sat down.
"Can I have one whiskey and..." He turned and looked at Theresa.
"Sex on the Beach please." She said politely.
"Later...what would you like to drink?" Fox asked jokingly.
"Fox." Theresa said looking around to see who heard a little embarrassed.
"Are you embarrassed to let people think we could be having sex on the beach later?"
"No...but hey, you get me the drink along with a few others and you just may be having sex on the beach later." She laughed.
Fox ordered her drink and the bartender quickly got the beer and made the drink and served it to them. Theresa took a sip and looked over at Fox. The song "Yeah" by Usher came on. "Ooh! I love this song...want to dance?" She asked jumping off her seat.
"How could I ever say no to you?" Fox responded as he followed her to the dance floor. It was very crowded but they found their way to the middle and started dancing. It wasn't the kind of song you could dance too sexually to but they still rubbed against each other every now and then. Theresa noticed what a good dancer Fox was.
"I'm sorry I thought you couldn't dance." She yelled in his ear. "You're very good. Where did you learn?"
"Thank you. I didn't have much else to do while in boarding school so a lot of kids would meet up after school and dance. I guess I picked up on a few things." They continued to dance for the rest of the song as well as a few other fast ones. Then the song "This Woman Needs" by SheDaisy came on and they looked at each other for a moment, not knowing what to do, and then Fox pulled her closer to him.
"I love this song." She said quietly.
"Then enjoy it." He told her while looking down at her. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked into his. She was absolutely stunning tonight. Fox wished he could tell her so badly without her taking it in a friendship way but he knew she wouldn't take it any other way. He held her close, breathing her in for the rest of the song. When it ended, neither of them let go right away until the fast beats of another song came on.
"You want to go sit back down?" Theresa asked.
"Yeah, I'll meet you over there, I'm going to use the men's room."
"She walked back over to the bar and grabbed her drink while looking around. She walked towards the entrance of the club and looked out the door.
-----
Fox splashed come cold water on his face and looked at himself in the mirror."Can't have her can you?" A man asked from behind him. He walked up to the sinks and washed his hands.
"Excuse me?" Fox asked.
"You must have a hot date?"
"Yeah, actually I do...how did you know that?"
"Because no man splashes water on his face in the men's room of a nightclub unless he has a hot date he can't have." The man laughed and walked out of the restroom.
"Well I hope to have her one day..."Fox thought to himself before exiting. "My my my, look at you. You are one hot little number." A strange mans voice came from behind Theresa. Just as she was about to turn around she felt a hand on her lower back.
"Excuse me?" She asked shifting her body to get his hand off of her. As Fox was walking out of the bathroom he noticed this and quickly sped up.
"Let's go to my car." The man said pushing her forward and out the door.
"Hey buddy, is there a problem here? It doesn't look like this beautiful lady wants to go with you." Fox said catching up to them.
"Back off pal, I saw her first, go find another tramp for yourself." The man, obviously drunk, said as he punched Fox in the jaw causing him to stumble back a bit.
"Fox!" Theresa yelled.
