Desperate Desires
Chapter 3:
Theresa kept on running, even after she realized that Fox had not made an attempt to follow her. The cold night wind numbed her face and sent cold shivers down her spine. Her warm winter jacket failed to keep the loneliness from creeping into her mind. She finally slowed to a stop as she reached her house. The Lopez-Fitzgerald house looked the same as it always did, but now with the absence of the rest of her family, the inside of the house, was now only warm because of little Ethan. His child-like innocence light up Theresa's heart and kept her going each day.
"Thank God for my son" Theresa whispered.
She bowed her head and resumed her walk up to her front door. As she opened the front door, her son launched his body into her
un-expecting arms. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him tighter, never wanting to let him go. Theresa then gently let little Ethan slowly slide out of her warm embrace.
"Hey sport" Theresa cheerfully greeted her son.
Little Ethan smiled a toothy grin and with that greeting done, immediately started babbling about what a great time he and the babysitter had, had.
"Well mommy I beat Marcie at trucks and airplanes and …….." Ethan continued on and on about how he won everything but how Marcie really was the best at cho-cho trains, though.
Theresa smiled and nodded. Her son really had a lot of enthusiasm. She gave him a kiss, paid Marcie and sent Ethan off to bed. With a sigh Theresa too, went off to bed, unprepared at getting up again for the next day.
She walked slowly to the side of her bed and quietly peeled of her clothes. She got out her nightie and slipped it on, enjoying the feel of satin against her skin. She then crawled into bed letting Fox and her desires for him, creep into her dreams.
Meanwhile at Fox's apartment:
Whitney on the other hand, was not falling asleep so easily. She had to race home to get there ahead of Fox and it was very tiring running all that way for a pregnant woman.
"How dare he think about her or even talk to her!" she fumed.
"Pregnant with your brother's baby!" Whitney though bitterly. "After all I have done to protect my baby, Theresa has to come in and seduce Fox.
"I just can't afford her to be in the picture, after all I have sacrificed for my child, she could just ruin it all!" Whitney thought.
"I am going to get rid of her, no matter what it takes!" Whitney yelled out loud.
Just then Fox entered the room, looking dazed. He acknowledged Whitney with a nod of his head and then he took his pillow from the bed and then walked out of their bedroom into the guest room. Whitney grew red with anger. She knew that he was falling, falling in love with Theresa! And she had to prevent it!
