Chapter 16

Oh My Gosh!!!

The rain was pouring Theresa lay there , she couldn't very well sleep it was almost 1 and there was no sign of Fox and Whitney hadn't called her either. "God, please let them be ok."

She got up she knew there was no since in lying there she'd be awake till Fox came in, it was like every time he was away her heart ached till he returned by her side. "Fox, you'll never love me, will you ?", she asked aloud.

She crept in the kitchen hoping and praying no one was up. She felt like being alone-- alone to think.

Looking up at the clock she became even more restless. She remembered Whitney mentioning the Hillsboro Motel and decided to call it, was late but, if she explain her situation maybe-just maybe they'd let her talk to Whitney and perhaps she'd find out what room she'd checked into.

She picked up the receiver not quite sure what she'd say.

"Hello?", a man asked. "Hillsboro Hotel, This is Craig how may I help you ?"

"Hello.", Theresa repeated. "I'm looking for a Whitney Russell, can you please tell me what rooms she's in ?"

"Hold on a sec.", Craig replied leaving her on hold for what seemed like eternity.

"Room 376.", he read.

"Ok, Thank you.", Theresa replied.

"Uh-hmm.", he replied. "Is there anything else you need?"

"Uh, Yeah, were is the hotel located at ?"

"Two Block South of The Hospital. You should see a purple sign saying Hillsboro Hotel.", Craig replied.

"Ok, thank you very much.", she replied.

"You're welcome.", he replied then hung-up.

Room three seventy-six two blocks south of the hospital she jotted down.

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

"Damn it.", Whitney exclaimed.

"What's wrong?", Fox asked.

"The phone's dead.", Whitney replied.

"Mine's back at the beach house.", he stated.

"Shoot, I really need to call Theresa, she'll be worried sick."

"I know, she'll probily thank something's wrong because I haven't got back yet."

"Yeah, Resa a worrywart."

"Resa ?"

"Yeah, growing up everyone called her "Resa", mostly to aggravate her."

"That's cute."

Whitney smiled. "I guess."

"I guess, we better be getting to bed.", he suggested.

"Yep, but, I'm not too tired.", she replied.

"Me either, but I've got to get back over to the beach house in the morning."

"Me too."

"Good Night."

"Night."

Whitney reached over and cut off the light.

Theresa arrived at the hotel at about 2:15am she'd decided to go downstairs and get the other key to Whitney's room just to make sure she was ok.

"Hello, how may I help you ?", Craig asked.

"Hello, I'm Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, I called earlier about Whitney Russell, I was wondering if I could use the other key, I was support to have meet her here but, my flight go delayed, so she must have checked in without me.", Theresa lied.

"Ok, Miss, here's the key be sure to return it.", Craig replied handing her the key with a smile.

"Thank you.", Theresa replied noticing how the man seemed attracted to her.

Theresa practically ran up the stairs, she was on a mission, she had to make sure Whitney was ok.

"Fox.", Whitney exclaimed. "Quit it."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Roll over.", Whitney commanded.

He rolled over towards her.

The door was cracked , whoever locked was in a hurry, she through.

She stood there watching there was some man in bed with Whitney but, it was to dark to see who.

"Fox, I'm not playing, roll over get off of me.", Whitney replied giving him a shove.

"You weren't complaining earlier.", he teased.

"Whatever, just roll over.", Whitney replied rolling her eyes.

"Earlier ?", Theresa whispered. "Oh, MY GOSH Fox and Whitney- they-they sleep together.", tear streamed down her face. 'Fox has finally won Whitney over.'

"God, this can't be happening.", Theresa replied taking one last look in the room before leaving.

"Here's your key back.", Theresa replied trying to seem calm.

"Ok, thank you.", Craig replied eyeing her again.

"Ok, I'll be going bye.", Theresa said running to her car and pulling out just as fast as she could.

She pulled in the beach house parking lot Ethan was there sitting on a rock. 'Oh Good, like life couldn't get worse.'

"Hey, where have you been ?", Ethan asked.

"Out.", she replied dryly.

"What's wrong ?", Ethan asked notcing her tear streaked face.

"Life."

"What happen ?"

"Something I wasn't ready for."

"And, What was that ?"

"Fox slept with Whitney!!!", Theresa exclaimed.

"What ?"

"Fox, your brother slept with Whitney my best friend."

"Why, do you care ?"

"I don't."

"Oh, really, Theresa you've been crying."

"So."

"So, I-- You care."

"It doesn't matter if I care, it happened he--he slept with her."

"Yeah."

"So, what's wrong with you ?"

"Gwen, threw me out ?"

"Why ?"

"She saw me looking at your picture."

"Oh."

"Theresa, I still love you."

"I know."

"I want you back, I've never stopped wanting you."

"I know."

"Theresa, please take me back. I won't mess up this time."

'Honey, you're not never going to get me back, I belong to Fox. No matter what. My heart is his.'

"Theresa, please, give me another chance."

"Ok.", Theresa replied. 'Might as wells, I'm never going to have Fox.'

"Good, Theresa, I promise to make things up to you.", Ethan said kissing her forehead.
