Chapter 3

Ethan drove around all town for about 2 hours trying to figure out where Teresa might live. He couldn't find a place that seemed to be her home.

"Well, Teresa, let's go home." He told himself because Teresa had passed out.

Ethan had parked his car and carried Teresa inside. Ivy and Julian were waiting for them inside.

"Ethan!" Ivy said shocked when she saw Teresa passed out.

"Mother, let me explain."

"Son, you know that Teresa's mother has been calling here nonstop."

"Sorry, Father." Ethan said disappointed in himself. He knew that he shouldn't have given Teresa anything to drink.

"May I ask you why Teresa is passed out?" Ivy asked.

"She's drunk."

"Drunk!" Ivy and Julian said in unison.

"Ethan, how could you?" Ivy asked.

"Mother, can we deal with this later?" He asked.

"Yes. Well, I'll call Pilar and tell her that Teresa is spending the night because I want to get to know her more. Hopefully she'll allow it." Ivy said walking away.

"I'm going to bed." Julian announced. "We'll talk about this tomorrow young man." Julian said pointing a finger at Ethan.

"Yes, Father. I'll put Teresa in a spare room."

Ivy came back into the room once she was done with her phone call.

"Well, Pilar said that it was okay for her to spend the night."

"That's good." Ethan said. He was mad at himself for letting this happen. He should have been more responsible.

"Well, Ethan do you mind putting Teresa in a room?" Ivy asked while yawning.

"Not at all. Go get some rest." Ethan said before kissing his mother goodnight.

"Goodnight, Ethan."

"Let's see, Teresa where can we put you? I know. Follow me." Ethan said as though Teresa weren't passed out.

Teresa slept through the night like a baby. She was surprised when she woke up though.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" She screamed. She was sleeping in the same bed with Ethan. Ethan woke up after hearing her scream. He was in his boxers. Teresa looked to if she was wearing her clothes. She was shocked when she found herself in a woman's nightgown.

"Hi, Teresa." Ethan said getting up and reaching for his robe.

"Ethan, did we....?"

"Oh. No! No!"

"Oh good."

"Good?" He asked.

"Well, the thing is I'm saving myself for when I get married. I promised Mama."

"Oh I see. Teresa I have to ask you something. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Ethan." She said holding her head. She definitely had a hang over.

"Teresa, you know I'm engaged to Gwen right?"

Teresa nodded her head.

"Well, I need to know how you feel for me."

Teresa was flabbergasted. Should she tell him the truth? Or lie?

"Ethan, I'll admit that I find you attractive. And before I found out about you and Gwen, I thought you were my prince charming."

Teresa out her hand over her mouth. she couldn't believe that she had said that.

"I thought so." He said moving closer. "The first time I saw you, you took my breath away. I think I'm in love with you."

They were now standing only inches away. They could feel the energy between them. Ethan thought only about kissing her. Teresa couldn't believe that this was happening.
