Chapter 13
Jealousy
"Hey, Theresa.", Whitney greeted as Theresa walked in the living room area.
"Hey, Whit. You're up early ?", Theresa replied.
"Yep, well I'm suppose to meet Fox for breakfast.", Whitney replied.
"Fox ?", Theresa asked trying not to hide her disappointment.
"Yeah, Chad had to leave early so, Fox volunteered to take me out for breakfast.", she replied.
"Oh, well I'm just going to go make self busy were you can get ready for your and Fox's breakfast date.", with that Theresa was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Theresa!!!", Fox called after her.
"WHAT!!!", She yelled not caring how upset she sounded.
"What's wrong, with you ? Did Ethan do something to upset you …", he began.
"NO.", She yelled. "ETHAN HASN'T DONE A DAMN THING."
Fox looked at her puzzled what was going on.
"Theresa, what's wrong and don't tell me nothing ?", he replied.
"WHY DO YOU CARE ?", she snapped.
"Theresa, I'm sorry for whatever it is I've done.", Fox began.
"NO, YOUR NOT…If you are tell Whitney you can't take her to breakfast.", Theresa replied.
"Theresa…", Fox began.
"DON'T.", she exclaimed. "You just proved how much you cared for me.", with that Theresa left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
"Whitney ?", Fox asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Hmm?", Whitney asked.
"What's Wrong with Theresa ?", he asked.
"I don't know she seemed fine earlier when we talked.", she replied.
"Really, well I just saw her and well lets put this way if looks could kill I'd be dead.", he replied.
"And you have no idea why ?", she asked.
"None whatsoever.", he replied.
"Maybe she's mad over the breakfast luncheon.", Whitney offered.
"Who told Theresa of our breakfast date ?", Fox asked.
"Me. Why ?", she asked.
"I ought to have known…", he began.
"About the luncheon., Fox I'm sorry but, Chad called a couple a minutes ago…turns out he's going to have a 30 minute break so, I'm going to swing by and uh, see him. I hope you don't mine ?", Whitney lied. 'Fox, you and Theresa are perfect together.'
"Of course not.", Fox replied.
"Good !!!!", she replied. "Well I'm going head out now…try to talk to Theresa.", Whitney advised.
"Ok, bye.", he replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"GO AWAY!!!", Theresa yelled.
"No, Theresa we need to talk.", Fox replied.
"There's nothing to talk about…You love Whitney and when you had to chose between us, you chose her.", Theresa replied.
"Theresa…Open up. I don't like talking to doors.", Fox replied.
"To Bad, I do.", she replied.
"Theresa open the damn door.", he demanded.
Theresa opened the door.
"Come in.", she replied sarcastically.
Fox walked in noticing there was broken glass everywhere.
"Don't you have a date with your precious Whitney ?", she asked.
"No…she couldn't make it.", he replied.
"And let me guess you wanted your door mat to accompany you…Guess again. I'm no bodies door mat.", she huffed.
"No, actually I wanted to say I'm sorry…Theresa I shouldn't use you like I do. I don't mean to but, I do. You're special to me and I guess I take advantage of you and of our friendship.", Fox replied.
"Yeah, well I shouldn't obsess over who you ask out.", she reasoned.
"Well, if that's the case, Theresa Lopez- Fitzgerald…would you accompany me to breakfast.", he asked.
"I don't know I'll have to think about it.", she replied.
"Please…", he added.
"Please, hmm ?", Theresa teased.
"Theresa Lopez- Fitzgerald…", he began.
"Ok, but on one condition… you buy.", she replied.
"Ms. Lopez- Fitzgerald I'm insulted.", he replied.
Theresa looked up at him with a smile. "Right, it goes along with your prince charming route."
"Yeah, well having the most beautiful woman also cosponsor with the routine.", he flirted.
"Nicholas Foxworth Crane, you really know what to say to make me smile, don't you ?", she asked.
"Yeah and what a smile you have…Theresa one smile from you could bring a man to his knees.", he replied.
"Really ?", she replied. 'Even You ?'
"What happened to this ?", he asked picking up the picture of them off the floor.
"I throw it against the door.", she replied simply.
"You hate me that much ?", he joked.
"No, but at the time I couldn't stand you or Whitney.", she replied.
"Really ?", he replied.
"Yep…childish ,hmm?", she asked.
"You said it not me.", he replied.
She looked at him she was falling for him and fast…and it killed her to think his heart lie elsewhere's with her best friend of all people.
A/N: Whatch'u think ? And do you like the plot thus far ?
