Chapter 12

I Bet You She Don't Love You…Like I Love You.

Theresa got up from her bed she couldn't sleep all she could think about was Fox and what exactly was going on between her and him.

*Flashback*

"Charming, aren't you.", Theresa asked flirtatiously.

"You bet.", Fox replied. "All woman love a man with charm, right ?"

"Yeah, no woman can't resist you.", Theresa replied.

"I know, that's why you have long conversations about me by yourself. Admit Theresa, you want me.", Fox replied.

Theresa looked at him speechless. 'Do I'

"Yeah, of course I do. You're all I dream about.", Theresa replied.

"You know I can always make them a reality.", with that he was gone leaving Theresa to ponder what exactly was going on with herself and them in general

*End Of Flashback.

"God, what is happening to me…I love Ethan. I have always and will always love Ethan. Fox, is just my friend.", Theresa said trying to convene herself what she was saying was true.

She looked up noticing the picture of Fox and her on the dresser. Whitney had took it one day at the pool, she remembered that day vividly. It was one of the lucky days down there Chad didn't have to work and all of them just sit by the pool talking and laughing. "Life was so simple then.", Theresa said looking away from the picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fox lay there thinking about Theresa. 'What is going on with us? Lately there is so much sexual tension between us, Why ? Where in love with different people.'

He got up noticing the kitchen light was on.

"Whitney ?", h asked walking into the kitchen.

"No, it's me…sorry to disappoint you.", she replied.

"It's not what you think…I thought you was Whitney because she usually wakes up around this time for a midnight snack.", he explained.

"Oh, you sure know a lot about her ? Then again why wouldn't you she's the woman you love, right ?"

"Why, do you got to act like that every time I mention Whitney ? Isn't she your best friend ?", he asked.

"Of course she is,. I love Whitney…but, I'm sorry if I don't see your undying love for her. Fox she knows not a handful of things about you.", Theresa lectured.

"And that's your business, how ?", Fox asked. "Theresa, you don't have to approve of us."

"Us ?", Theresa laughed. "Fox theirs is no 'us' when it comes to you and Whitney. There's a Fox and There's a Whitney but, no Fox and Whitney.", Theresa replied.

"Not yet anyhow, give it time…she'll learn to love me.", Fox replied.

"Learn ? Fox you can't teach a person to love you.", Theresa lectured.

"Ok, Whitney loves me she just doesn't know it yet.", Fox replied.

"Yeah, well sure, Whitney loves you so much.", Theresa mimicked.

"Why do you care, Theresa ?", Fox asked.

"You're my friend, I don't want to see you get hurt.", Theresa replied part of what she was saying was true…but, there was something about Fox loving another woman that drove her mad.

"Well, be happy for me. Theresa, I'm so close to get her all to myself. So close I can taste it.", Fox replied.

"Well, I'm sure you'll make her happy.", Theresa replied. "I just hope she'll make you happy."

"And, she will…Whitney's the only woman I've ever loved."

Theresa looked at him those words hurt but, she had no idea why.

"That's good.", was all she could manage.

"Yeah, so you have any break troughs with my half brother ?", Fox asked.

"No, I've gave up…I don't love Ethan like I use to…we can never be together.", Theresa replied.

"Theresa, you fell ok ? Cause normally you'd be saying how fate was going to bring you Ethan and how you'd never give up on him. And That you'd love him till the day you die."

"Well not, no more.", Theresa exclaimed.

"Come here.", Fox said placing his palm to her forehead. "No, fever."

Theresa laughed. "I'm not sick, Fox. I'm just finally realizing what's been there all alone. That Ethan and my love was no more than a fantasy that I created in an attempt to some how live the fairytale end that I always read about in storybooks.

"I'm proud of you, Theresa. I really am…I'm glad that your not going to let Ethan strange you along anymore."

"Thanks, Fox.", Theresa replied. 'I just hope you come to the same relation that I have. That Whitney and you are just like me and Ethan….PRETEND.'

A/N: Whatchu' think ? Do you think Theresa is falling in love with Fox ?
