Perfect Match 24

Another Side of Jessica
--
The white dress that Kay had bought yesterday looked really nice on her, but she decided that perhaps she'd look better in just some jeans, and a Yankee tee shirt. She smiled at her reflection of the mirror that hung in the bathroom. Fox had been dressed for an hour already but she had to hatch everything out in her mind, figure out how things might go today.
Would things go bad? Would Sam be mad about his daughter being married? How would he feel about Fox as his son in law? Would he be happy? Of course there was the ever-pending thought about if he would like her present. She'd had it made the week she'd gotten Fox's credit card to herself.
"I'm ready" Kay announced as she made her way into the living room. Fox turned at her voice, and smiled.
"You look-"he didn't know what to say.
"Not very rich" she finished for him. "I know with the Cranes its all about money and looking good, but I don't want to be glamorous all the time." she kissed him on the lips as he stood up.
"You look sexy all the same."
"Thanks, but when your around my dad, lets not be all touchy feely. I'm pretty sure he has a bullet with your name on it." Kay locked the door behind her on their way out.

Jessica and Simone began to sit up the table with food and presents for Sam's birthday party. Placing things respectively they began to talk about Kay.
"Do you think Fox really loves her?" asked Jessica nervously.
"I hope so"Simone replied wondering also.
"I know him and Theresa fooled around with each other while Ethan was away, I haven't told anyone, but I'm pretty sure Kay knows." Jessica swept her reddish hair out of her face. "But Theresa needs to tell Ethan before I spill my guts really bad."
"Well here they come now, keep cool" they both glanced towards the door Ethan and Theresa had walked through. The couple walked over to Jessica and Simone to say hi.
"Hey sis' Ethan hugged Jess in a brotherly fashion while Theresa smiled and said hi to both girls. "I'm going to go see if Grace needs any help with anything, Theresa I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Okay honey" he kissed her forehead and walked briskly away. "So Sam is going to have a really nice party, huh?"
Simone nodded,"Yeah me and Jess have been here all morning working."
"Yeah, where is Sam?" Theresa asked sitting down on the couch and crossing her legs.
"He's at the police station. Some crazy lady called saying that her daughter was trying to kill her. Or something." Jessica laughed, trying to keep cool.
Simone's cell phone went off and she left the room. She gave a 'sorry' glance towards Jessica and hurried from the room leaving the two behind. They smiled at each other, and Jessica turned her back to keep her hands busy. She had never really been left alone in a room with Theresa before so the experience was new to her.
"So, when are Kay and Fox getting here?" Theresa asked finally.
"Soon I guess." Jessica rolled her eyes to herself before turning to meet her sister in law's face.
"Oh, well I guess since they're newly weds it might take a while. I still can't believe Fox married her. After all do they really seem like an obvious couple?" Theresa chuckled lightly, and Jessica was getting more and more disgusted with her brother's wife.
"Why would you say that, Theresa? I mean I'm glad that Kay finally found someone that loves her back. Unlike Miguel, and pasides Fox can make her happy. I'm sure he's had countless women after him, but I'm sure they meant nothing to him" Jessica raised her eyebrows.
"Jessica are you insinuating that me and Fox are involved in some way?" Theresa stood up, her heels making her at least a foot taller than Jessica.
"No, but is there something you need to tell Ethan?'
"Of course not. Why?' Theresa felt worried, but looked cool.
"Just wondering, but if you hurt Kay, or Ethan you'll be sorry."
"Little girl I've been playing the game of blackmail a lot longer than you have, so know who your messing with, before you make threats." Theresa smiled down on her.
"But I do know you, Theresa" Jessica glared.
"If your going to make threats, at least have something to back them up with," Theresa smirked.
Jessica rolled her eyes. "I never said I didn't have anything, any way don't you have someone's bed to keep warm."
"You little-"Theresa stopped as the front door opened and Kay's head peered inside. Followed behind her were Whitney, Chad and Fox.
"Hey guys!" Kay greeted, looking form Jessica to Theresa, and back again. What was going on? she wondered.
"Hey, Kay." Jessica came over leaving Theresa to compose herself.
"What was going on in here?" Kay asked.
"Oh, me and Theresa were having a lil chat," Jessica glanced over her shoulder at Theresa who was talking to Whitney, Chad, and Fox.
"About what? She looks pissed off." Kay observed as she sat Sam's present on the table.
"Don't worry about it. "Jessica quirked her eyebrows.
"So where is dad?" Kay wondered as Simone came back into the room.
"He's down at the police station, but he'll be back in a while" Jessica stated.

Whitney, and Theresa made their way over to the stairs. Putting distance between them and the other people in the room. Theresa didn't know what she was going to do about Jessica and she needed to talk to someone.
"So what's wrong Theresa?" asked Whitney.
Running her hands through her hair and sighing, she replied." She knows about me and Fox."
"Who? Kay?" Confusion clouded her face as she glanced towards Fox's wife.
"No. Jessica Bennet knows. God, Whitney, if she tells. Things with Ethan are going to go all to hell." Fear pulsed through Theresa.
*
"So......... how did things go with Theresa?"Simone asked as she glanced at the woman who was talking to her sister at the moment. For a second she wondered what they were talking about, but at the same time she didn't care because she hated Whitney, and Chad for that matter.
"Oh, they went great' Jessica smiled deviously.
"She looked pretty pissed when I got here" Kay wondered what Jessica was smiling about.
"Yeah, she looks upset now"Simone made and observation.
