"Mama, I didn't…", Theresa stop in mid sentence and looked at Fox. "What are you doing here ?"
"Thought I'd bring you, your Christmas gift.", Fox replied. "Now, Ms. Lopez- Fitzgerald, what do you get a girl who has everything, including my heart."
Theresa looked at him wide eyed. "Really ?"
Fox pulled Theresa to him. "I'm yours, to do as you please."
Theresa laughed, nervously. "Are you serious."
"Dead.", Fox replied, nibbling on her neck.
"Fox, this ain't funny, not one bit.", Theresa replied, back up against the couch.
"Who's laughing ?", Fox asked.
"Fox..", Theresa began.
"Theresa, I want you and I know you want me just as much.", Fox replied. "I can see it in your eyes.", he whispered causing her to shiver with delight.
"Theresa, tell me what you want.", Fox replied, hoping to get a reaction act of her.
"Fox ?", Theresa question, he was making her nervous and it was apparent.
"Theresa, don't fight this.", Fox told her coaxing her into giving in. "Now, What do you want ?", Fox asked.
"Do you want me to leave or do you want me to stay and do the most natural thing for me, to love you in love you in every possible way."
Theresa looked at him, was he serious ? Was she dreaming ? "Your choice, Resa, do I stay or do I go ?"
"Stay.", Theresa blurted out. "Stay and love me the way you were born to."
She watched as he step towards her taking her hand in his hands he gently kissed it. "And I will.", gently he lay her own the couch.
~*~End Of Flashback~*~
Why'd he done this ? He loved Whitney didn't he? If he loved Whitney then why was he here in her bed and why'd he come there last night and made love to her, no doubt he'd planned this he'd came there knowing they'd make love.
"Theresa ?", Fox asked shifting under the covers.
"Huh ?', she asked.
"Just checking to see if you where awake.", Fox replied rapping his arms around her.
Theresa rose up taking his arms off of her. "What are you doing ?"
"Must you ask ?", he replied.
"Fox, quite it, quite playing games.", she exclaimed. "Cause, this game really sucks."
"What are you talking about ?', he asked sitting up as well.
"You, say you love Whit, but here you are in bed with me.", she replied.
"Theresa…", he began.
"Fox do you love Whitney ?", she asked simply.
"Resa?", he began.
"Yes or no, do you love Whitney ?', she yelled getting up and rapping a robe around herself.
"I don't know.", he replied. "all I know is when I'm with you, I fell alive, like I could do anything."
"What ?", she replied. "You're not making no sense."
Fox took and pulled her on the bed on top of him and kissed her with all his might.
"What in the hell are you doing ?", she asked pushing him off her.
"Being with my lover.", he replied simply.
"I'm NOT your lover!", she yelled.
"Do you love me ?', he asked.
"What does it matter, Fox ? YOU, Love Whitney!", she replied.
"Answer me, Theresa do you love me?", he replied grabbing her wrist meeting her eyes.
"Get you're hands off me!", she replied jerking from him.
"Resa, do you love ,me ?", he repeated.
"Why do you care, hmm? You got what you wanted, you slept with me.", she replied. " You must really be proud of yourself."
"Theresa, I'm not like that! I care about you.", he replied.
"Really ?", she questioned. "Fox, you slept with me, you came here slept with me. Knowing I was Whitney's best friend, knowing that one day Whitney and you would be together and I'd be all lone and I'd relive last night and want you, ache for you, long to fell your skin upon my skin, your lips on mine."
"Theresa, I…",he replied.
"Don't it's to late, I knew what I was getting myself into. Don't apologies.", she said interrupting him. "Don't worry about me, I'm a big girl I'll deal with this, I'll deal with you're loving Whitney and you and her being together in time.", she replied. "Don't let love pass you by, because you fell obligated to me. I could have pushed you away last night but, I chose not to."
"No, Theresa you felt what you've always felt when you're with me, need.", Fox replied cupping her face in his hands. "You need me in order to breathe, just like I need you. I can't live without you, I know what life was like before I met you and believe me it wasn't fun. You gave me a purpose for living and I can't lose you not, now not ever."
"Fox…", she began.
"Theresa, please don't.", he replied.
"Please don't, what ?", she asked. "Don't let you hurt me? What do you want from me? Do you want me to confess my love you so ? Do you want me to be your spare in case Whitney won't have you or when you get tired of her boring ways of seduction ?"
"Theresa, of course not.", he replied.
"Really?", she asked "then why don't explain to me just what the fucks going on ?", she yelled. "cause, I'm clueless, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do and most importantly I don't know where things go from here. I don't know what we are anymore. Friends, lovers, enemies, strangers."
"I don't either, I thought that once I gave into these feelings I had, still have things would be easier, but it's worst. Now, they're stronger, so strong- overwhelming.", he confessed. "Theresa, I've never felt nothing this strong, all I want is to make you to you over and over and over, till I die."
"What about Whitney ?", she asked. "Where does she fit into you're equation ?"
"I don't know.', he admitted. "I don't know what I fell for her, infatuation, love, obsession? But, I know one thing it doesn't compare to the way I fell when I'm with you."
"Fox…", she began.
"Resa, please, you've got to believe me.", he interrupted.
"Fox. Go.", she told him. "I need to be alone. I need time to think.", she rushed down the steps collecting his clothes.
"Fox followed behind her with a sheet rapped around himself.
"Here!", she told him handing him his clothes. "You can use the bathroom, cause, I'm sure you don't wanna go home like this."
Fox nodded and headed to the bathroom. 'There's no sense trying to talk to her she's pissed at me and wouldn't want to listen to me babble about how confused I am.'
He quickly put on his clothes he needed to talk to someone, but how could he, Julian, well he didn't know a thing about the word love, Ivy, thought love was a obsession, you , sought, fought, and when possible killed for the person you loved. He heard all this talk about, love, but to tell the truth he didn't know what love fells like, he'd never scene love from his parents hell, Julian and Ivy despised each other and Julian was always bring home mistress, so his parents where defiantly not his choice of people to disuse love with. Then, there was Ethan and his sisters. Ethan was so confused, hell he had no idea when it came to love either, look at how he had treat Gwen and Theresa, no way would he hurt Theresa and Whitney like Ethan had Gwen and Theresa. Theresa meant the world to him, and so did Whitney. Then, there was Dylan, Dylan didn't know the slightest thing about love, his meaning of love was bedding as many woman as he could?
"Fox?", Theresa asked.
"Hmm?", Fox asked being broken from his thoughts.
"Mama, in the drive way, hurry.", Theresa continued.
"Ok!", he replied opening the door walking out with a pair of black jeans and his shirt unbuttoned.
"Theresa?!", Pilar exclaimed from the door. "You here?"
"Just a minute mama.", Theresa replied. "Fox, button your shirt, I don't want mama too..."
"Think we made love ?", Fox offered.
'Had, sex.", she corrected. "We can't make love, we're not in love."
Fox nodded, "Well, if you want it buttoned you do it."
"Fox!", she exclaimed getting mad, "button, the damn shirt and quite playin' games."
"Theresa, Fox ? ", Pilar asked walking in. "What's going on ?"
"Fox uh-Fox…", Theresa stampeded.\
"I spilt coffee on my shirt and Resa volunteered to wash it, cause she said, 'it was too cold to go out with a wet
shirt.' ", Fox lied, he was almost sure Theresa didn't want no one to know they'd slept together.
"Oh!", Pilar replied. "Why wasn't you at the party, Nicholas ?"
"Didn't think it was nothing to celebrate, seeing as I hate Rebecca and me and pops ain't too close.", Fox replied. "Besides, Theresa couldn't go, and well, it wouldn't have been much fun without her."
Theresa studied him for a minute then turned to Pilar. "Where's Ethan ?"
"He's in his room, he's exhausted.", Pilar replied.
"I'd say.", Fox replied. "Party at the mansion can be right out boring."
"Yeah, I think Ethan would agree.", Pilar replied. "He was ready to leave after everyone stop arriving."
Fox laughed. "Well, I'm ready to leave when I arrive."
"Well, I'm sorry to be so rude Fox, but I'm tired myself , so I'm going to head up for the night.", Pilar replied. 'Theresa lock up, whenever you're ready."
"Ok, mama.", Theresa replied, watching as Pilar walked up the stairs.
"Theresa…", Fox began once he thought Pilar was from hearing distance. "I hope you don't regret tonight, cause I know I don't.", he continued. "In fact I hope they'll be more nights like this in the near future."
"Fox…", Theresa replied her breath coming in a gasp.
"I'll show myself out.", he told her turning his heel and exiting the house.
Theresa just stood there what exactly was going on ? Was Fox playing some sort of game of cat and mouse, would she ever have him all too herself.
