In Denial Ch. 6
Twenty minutes later, Fox pulled up in front of the Hyatt hotel.
"Fox, are you suggesting something?" flirted Theresa.
"No, but are you?"
"I guess you'll just have to wait and find out," she said with a wink.
Two valet drivers opened the doors for Fox and Theresa. "Good evening Sir and Madam," said one of the valet drivers. Fox left the keys in the ignition and stepped out of the black jaguar. The other valet driver handed Fox a car slip as he stepped into the convertible.
"Please be careful with my baby," instructed Fox.
"We always are sir."
"Baby huh? Why do guys always find the need to give their cars a name?"
"It's a secret that only guys know, but maybe one day, if you're real nice, I'll let you in on it." Fox began leading Theresa to where they were going for dinner.
"Oh...I can't wait," said Theresa sarcastically.
"Since we're talking about nicknames, what's the nickname you're going to give me?"
"Why would I want to give you a nickname? Isn't Fox your nickname?"
"Not to me. I consider it my first name. I think I deserve a great nickname since I gave you a spectacular one."
"Umm...yeah. I always wanted to be called Shorty."
"I think it's cute."
"According to you. I think it's awful," commented Theresa as they stepped into an elevator.
"Well let me see you come up with a nickname for me."
"Let me see..."
"How about DDG?"
"What does DDG stand for?"
"Drop dead gorgeous," answered Fox.
"Now that's funny. You? Drop dead gorgeous?" Theresa giggled loudly. "Whose been shoving this BS to you your whole life until you got to his point?"
"Everyone. According to People, I'm one of the fifty most beautiful people of 2004."
"Hmm...maybe they got you confused with someone like Prince William, but I don't see how."
"What are you talking about? I'm way better looking than him."
"You see, that's where you're mistaken. Prince William is hot. You-you my friend are okay to look at, but you're no William."
"Well I would have believed you when you said that, but I saw you checking me out back in the trailer about twenty minutes ago?" grinned Fox once he saw Theresa's cheeks turn scarlet. "Don't think that turning away from me will cause me to not see you blush because you and I both know that you were totally checking me out."
"You wish!" lied Theresa. "I was totally thinking about how funny your hair looked." She reached up and tousled his hair.
"Hey. Watch it." Fox grabbed Theresa's hand before she could do any more damage.
"It doesn't look any worse than it did before." Just then, the elevator opened.
"Just be glad that we're in public, otherwise I would..."
"Otherwise what?" challenged Theresa.
"Hello Mr. Crane," greeted the matre'd.
"Good evening Richard."
"May I ask who your lovely guest is?"
"This is Ms. Theresa Lopez-fitzgerald. She's one of my co-workers."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Lopez-fitzgerald." He bowed. "Your other guests has already arrived and are seated at the table you requested."
Other guests thought Theresa. He never did say it was a date. He was just asking her out as a friend. She was disappointed, but put on her happy face. She rationalize that it's actually a good thing because after they finish filming the movie, they will go their separate ways. She only want to be Fox's friend anyways, but he introduced her as his co-worker, not his friend. Theresa couldn't help but feel a little hurt by that one word.
