In Denial Ch. 7
When they reached their table, two young women and one man were sitting there.
"Hey gang. Theresa, I would like you to meet my best friend, Dylan. These two ladies are my good friends, Sharon and Daisy."
"It's nice to meet all of you," greeted Theresa politely as she and Fox sat down. Dylan shook Theresa's hands. Sharon and Daisy gave Theresa the once over with their fake smiles and continued their previous conversation.
"So Theresa, you must be one amazing woman to be able to work with Fox?" teased Dylan. "I pity you, but I must say, Fox is lucky to be working with someone as beautiful as you." Sharon and Daisy began to whisper at this remark, making sure that Fox and Dylan were unaware of their little comments.
Theresa blushed at the compliment. "You know, I ask myself the same question every day. I guess I have to keep thinking about the happy day when I get to say goodbye to Fox."
Fox just smiled smugly, not making any smart comebacks. He was too interested in seeing how Theresa will get along with his group of friends.
"Fox, Theresa will definitely fit in with us. You see Theresa, it's our jobs as Fox's friends to make fun of him."
"Actually, that's a lie," stated Fox, matter-of-factly.
"He doesn't realize that we're doing this for his own good. As much as it pains us to bash on our friend, we have to make sure that his head doesn't get any bigger than it already is. I'm surprised that he's able to walk with the size it is now. Isn't that right Sharon? Daisy?"
"Yup," Sharon and Daisy replied in unison.
"But you have to admit Dylan, you don't have a valid excuse like Fox here for having an enormous head. At least he's famous. What's your excuse?" asked Daisy.
Theresa smiled at the circle of friends making jokes at one another. She could easily see why Fox was friends with Dylan, but she wasn't so sure about Daisy and Sharon yet.
"Hello! I'm Dylan. What more can I say!"
"Theresa, can you see what we put up with. I mean, you thought that you had it bad when you met Fox, but let me tell you that Daisy and I had to put up with Fox and Dylan since we were in diapers."
"You two can be my mentors in how to deal with Fox and put him in his place. God knows he needs it."
"Theresa, you're the only one who I'll let put me in place," replied Fox with a smirk, with the full intention of seeing Theresa swarm.
Theresa could feel the heat rising to her face. Theresa swatted Fox's leg.
Dylan, Daisy and Sharon exchanged knowing looks at their little exchange.

After they finished eating dinner, Daisy and Sharon talked to Theresa while Dylan talked to Fox. "So Theresa, Daisy and I think that you and Fox would make such a cute couple," said Sharon.
"Ex-excuse me?" Theresa asked, shocked.
"We thought so the minute we saw you and Fox walking in together," explained Daisy. "We were trying so hard not to smile too big when we saw you two together. We didn't want to scare the you off."
Theresa thought back to the fake smile she remembered them giving her earlier. It wasn't a fake smile after all, but one of happiness for their friend. They must have been talking about Fox and me after they smiled at us thought Theresa. "Look, Fox and I are co-workers. Of course we have chemistry."
"So you admit you have chemistry," smiled Sharon devilishly.
"I meant, we wouldn't be hired to make the movie if we didn't. That natural chemistry appears in front of and behind the cameras. That's what makes onscreen couples work on the big screen."
"Uh-huh," Daisy commented.

"So Fox..." began Dylan.
"Don't Fox me. Just say what you have to say. I can tell you're dying to tell me something."
"So what's going on between you and Theresa? Anything I should know about?" asked Dylan with a boyish grin.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about how you like Theresa."
"Dylan, look..."
"Don't give me that Fox. I've known you forever and I've never seen the sparks fly like I did tonight."
"We're just..."
"Friends?" finished Dylan.
"Will you at least let me finish a sentence?"
"Nah...I think you're going to continue to deny it."
"I'm not denying anything. I mean Theresa is one of the most gorgeous women I've ever met or seen inside as well as out, but our relationship is strictly professional."
"Do you always take your co-workers out?" asked Dylan.
"We went out as friends. But you never had to work so you don't know how co-workers can be friends."
"Okay Fox. I'm not going to push this any further, but I want you to know that I better be your best man at your wedding."
"Dylan, I'm leaving now." Fox walked over to Theresa. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yes." Theresa said goodbye to her new friends.
