Ch.3

Teresa's eyes filled with tears.

This movie is so sad, she thought to herself. As promised, Fox had taken her to see "The Notebook." Noah and Allie, the two characters from the movie, had just been reunited.

Why cant true love like this exist? She thought. She looked over at Fox. Earlier, when she had glanced his way he seemed bored out of his mind. Now, if she didn't know any better, she thought she saw a tear in the corner of his eye. She laughed quietly to herself and turned back to the movie. An hour later, when the credits began to roll, Teresa wiped her eyes, her makeup smearing everywhere.

"That was so amazing," she said through her tears, her voice shaky and unsteady. Fox didn't say anything. She looked at him.

"Are you crying Fox?"

He looked at her suddenly, and then looked away, wiping his eyes.

"Who me? No, I uhh...I think I just have something in my eye."

She laughed. "You are crying!"

He sighed.

"Well what can I say, that was a killer of an ending."

She gave him a sympathetic smile.

"I think its cute that you liked it Fox."

"I didn't like it," he said defensively. "It just wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be."

"Ok," she said with a smirk, amused by how easy it was to get him agitated.

He looked around. "I guess we better go...we're the only ones left."

They stood up and slowly walked out of the theater, When they got outside, they stopped.

"Thank you for taking me Fox," Teresa said. "I had a really good time."

"So did i. But I always have a good time when I'm with you."

She blushed. "I better go."

"Wait," Fox said. "Are you hungry? If you want, we could go get a bite to eat somewhere."

She smiled. "I'm starved."

"Good." He said, relieved that their date wasn't ending. "Where would you like to go?"

"You pick. I picked the movie and made you suffer through that awful chick flick that you hated so much...even though it made you cry..."

"Ha ha," he said. "That's not the point....but if you want me to pick, I do know a really cool place we could go."

"Hmm," she said uncerntainly. "That look of yours makes me a little nervous."

"Hey now, I'm offended."

"Oh I'm sorry," she said grabbing his arm, teasing him.

"That's better," he said with a smile. "Now, if you are ready, we can be on our way...it's only about a 20 minute walk. Is that alright?"

"Fine with me. It's a nice night out."

They began walking, both of them enjoying the silence. Fox looked over at her, her dark hair blowing in the breeze, her skin glowing in the moonlight. His heart sped up.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked quietly.

She smiled. "I was thinking about the movie...it was just so sweet and romantic...do you think love like that really exists?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well." She began. "I mean real love....dancing in the street, reuniting after all those years apart, growing old together kind of love."

"Do I think it's real?"

"Yea."

"Of course."

She looked at him surprised. "Really? How can you be so sure?"

He stopped walking, grabbing her hand. "Well I can prove it to you."

She looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

He smiled as he looked over his shoulder, then led her out to the middle of the street.

"You wanna dance with me?"

"What?"

"Do you wanna dance with me?"

She stared at him, a huge smile forming on her lips, her eyes filling with fresh tears. "We don't have any music," she said quoting the movie.

He smiled as he reached for her, pulling her close. He wrapped his arms around her tiny frame and began to sway back and forth, slowly closing his eyes.

"Who needs music?" he whispered into her neck, his hands gently tracing up and down her back.

She closed her eyes, savoring the moment, the feel of his hands on her back, his breath on her neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck. It was at this moment that she knew she never wanted to let go.

Time passed. They continued dancing. It wasn't until Teresa's cell phone rang that they pulled apart. Flustered, she answered it.

"Hello?"

Fox ran his fingers through his hair as she talked, unable to believe the night he was having. It was like he had died and gone to heaven. Moments later, she hung up.

"Everything ok?" he asked.

"That was Whitney...her and Chad had a fight."

"What about?"

She looked at him, her eyes saying everything. "He knows Fox."

"Knows what?" he asked already knowing the answer.

Chad knew that Fox had feelings for Whitney.

His best friend knew of his betrayal.

"He's looking for you." Teresa said sadly, the magic of the night quickly fading away with the realization of what had happened.

Chad knew the truth.

He knew everything.

And now he was coming for Fox...

Fox shut his eyes and wondered how his perfect night had suddenly gone to hell.

A/N: Hey people! I had to include "The Notebook" in my story somewhere because I am obsessed with that movie! If you've seen it, then you know the dancing in the street scene I was talking about...if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?! It's great! Keep reviewing! Thanks!
