In Denial Ch. 8
The next day at work
"So how do you like my friends?" asked Fox. He was curious to see what Theresa thought about his friends.
"Oh, they're wonderful. They were so nice to me. I'm kind of surprise that such nice people like them would be your friends." Theresa couldn't help but smirk when she saw Fox frown at her comment. Her smirk quickly vanished when Fox wrapped his arms around Theresa and pulled her close to him.
"Oh is that so?" asked Fox, smiling at how surprised Theresa looked when he grabbed her. He then pulled her into a closer embraced.
Theresa couldn't breathe. She could feel Fox's intoxicating cologne and his hot breath on her. Getting a hold of herself, she pulled herself away from him. "Yup, that's so," she said as she walked out the trailer. She needed to get out of there before something happened between them. She didn't know what would have happened if she stayed there a minute longer, but she didn't want to find out either. She didn't want to complicate their friendship. After all, there must be some truth to the saying that one should not date their co-workers, thought Theresa. Besides, they were just friends.
--------------------------------------------------
Fox stood still for a minute before being able to move. He couldn't help but feel the intense sparks between him and Theresa. He never knew what people were talking about when they mentions that sparks fly, but he now knew firsthand. He decided to follow Theresa to talk about what just happened or almost happened. As he walked out the door, he stopped in his tracks.
A handsome man with jet black hair was spinning Theresa around as she laughed. Fox could feel jealousy raise to his very veins. He wanted to walk up to the stranger and pull Theresa away from him, and then punch him in the face. Knowing that that would not solve the problem, he forced himself to walk away, as hard as it was to do.

Fox was grabbing some lunch from the buffet table when someone started talking to him.
"Hi Fox," greeted the gentleman kindly.
"Hey," responded Fox, as he gritted his teeth. Great thought Fox. Just what I needed. "How do you know my name?"
"Theresa pointed you out to me earlier," explained the stranger. "So how do you like working on the set with Theresa? She's great isn't she?"
"Umm...yeah, she's terrific. Any guy will be lucky to have her."
"I agree."
"So where are you from?" asked Fox curiously.
"I'm from Theresa's hometown, Harmony."
"Wow, you've traveled a long way to get here. Where are you staying?" Fox was embarrassed to be pumping the fellow for information, but he had to find out as much as he can about the guy.
"Theresa is letting me crash at her place."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah. Well it's nice talking to you. Maybe I'll see you around."
"Bye," smiled Fox, trying to keep up this happy facade.
