Chapter 18

You Can't Do This

"Theresa.", Fox began. "Can we talk ?", he asked catching a breath.

"Sure.", Theresa replied. "Come in."

Fox followed her inside.

"What do you want to talk about ?", she asked sitting beside him on the bed.

"You.", he replied. "And Ethan.", he added dryly.

"What about us ?", she asked.

"Are you seriously going to date a married man.", he asked.

"Yeah, I don't see nothing wrong with it.", she replied.

"Nothing wrong ?", he repeated. "I'm sorry but, where I come from marriage is suppose to be sacred."

"So, is love, but you don't give a rat's ass about love as long as your happy, right ?", she asked.

"I do care about love and yes it's great if it's with the right person, it can also be hell if it's not.", he replied.

"What are you saying, that Whitney is living in hell, because she's not with you ?", she exclaimed. "Well, guess again, she seemed perfectly happy this morning when I stopped by.", she replied. "They made back up, so much for you and Whit, right.', she taunted

"What are you talking about ?", he asked.

"Whit and Chad made up and you're back at square one.", she replied. "You ought to have hear them, lovey duvey as ever."

She saw the hurt flash in his eyes and she liked it, she was making him hurt and it some how gave her justice to see him in as much pain as he caused her the night before.

"I don't care, what happen one day Whitney will be mine.", he vowed.

"Not in this lifetime.", she replied. "She doesn't love you, get it through your head, she loves Chad always has and always will.", she continued.

"Well, I love her and always will.", he replied.

"Good, for you, but too bad your wasting your time on a woman who doesn't hardly know you exist.", she replied.

"How do you know that ?", he asked. "How do you know that she doesn't dream about me, doesn't fantasize about me ?", he continued.

"Because, Whitney told me that you where just friends, nothing more.", she replied.

"So, that can change.", he replied.

"No, Whitney isn't going to change her mind, you're only a friend to her and will never be nothing else.", she replied.

"Chad, I'm sorry about last night, I shouldn't have left.", Whitney stated.

"Whit, You had ever right.", he replied. "I was selfish, only thinking of myself."

"No, Chad I should have stayed here and talked it out like an adult.", she replied.

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

"You have the nerve tell me to back off and leave Whitney and Chad alone when you jump at the first you get to shack up with prince Ethan.", Fox exclaimed.

"No, I don't…", Theresa began.

"Oh, you don't prove it, cancel the date.", he dared.

"And, let you get the satisfaction of me doing what you want, never.", she replied.

"Fine, you just proved you are exactly what Rebecca says you are a home wrecking tramp.", he replied.

"I hate you, get out!!!.", she replied. 'How could he say that, how could he hurt me like that.'

"Fine, but it's the truth, there is a lot worst I I could have called you.", he replied.

"What, money grubbing bitch, Crane whore, Harmony slut, I've been called it all, and I don't care.", she replied. "I may be a whore but, like they say whore's get more.", she replied. "But, even whore's have there breaking point."

"Now, you're bragging.", he replied.

"Yeah, I'm, bragging that I have never ever let you touch me.", she replied.

"Well, that makes two of us, lord knows what you got and who you've had, from the looks of it you aren't particular whom you let in your bed.", he replied.

"Get out, now.", she screamed pushing him out the door. "And stay out I never want to speak to you again."

"That went well.", Whitney commented.

"I'd say.", Fox replied.

"What happened ?", Whitney asked.

"I screwed things up, big time.", he replied.

"What, what'd you say ?", she asked.

"It's not important, I just basically pissed her off.", he replied.

"Oh, do you think she meant what she said, you know about her never wanting to speak to you again ?", Whitney asked.

"I don't know, I don't know how serious she is this time.", he replied.
