Chapter 25
Where Do We Go From Here?
A/N: I just got back from R&A and read where Lindsey pregnant congrats Lindsey and Justin. :D
Fox had been out all night all he could think about what had happened earlier, it was almost 4:15 now, three hours since he'd left Theresa. He didn't know what in the world was going on it seemed as like what he wanted to do, he id the exact opposite, he wanted to reason with her, but he made that stupid comment before leaving. What if Theresa thought he was playing sort of game, he wanted to be sincere but, everything he said came out with a cocky, irrigate behavior, he hadn't actually lied he didn't want more nights like tonight.
Sighing he picked up his phone a decided to call the only person he knew he could trust, Whitney.
"Hello?", Whitney asked.
"Whitney, hey it's me.", Fox replied. "I hope I didn't wake you."
"No, in fact I was talking with Chad.", Whitney replied.
"When'd he get back ?", Fox asked.
"Tonight, at the party.", Whitney replied.
"Oh, that's great, listen Whitney, you know Theresa, pretty good, right ?", Fox asked.
"Yeah, why?", Whitney asked.
"Do, you think she loves me?", Fox asked.
"Loves you?", Whitney asked. "Why you asking, what happened tonight?", Whitney asked, dreading his answer, they'd slept together and she knew it all the signs where there, they both loved each other and neither had showed up at the party.
"Nothing, does she or doesn't she love me ?", Fox asked again, he didn't have time for this, he had to know if Theresa cared for him, then after he got a absolute yes or no, he'd sort out his feelings.
"I don't know.", she lied, Theresa had made her promise not, to say a word to Fox and she didn't as much as she wanted to.
"Uh.", Fox began, sighing with frustration. "Whit, what is love?", he finally asked.
Whitney was stumped. "I-uh- I c-can't explain it, it's like a-an addiction, you've got to be with that person every moment of everyday and when you're apart you feel like you could die."
"Ok, what's the difference between love and attraction?", Fox asked.
"Attraction is physical, sex, all you want is to hook up with that person no fellings are involved, that sort of thing, love is, love is knowing and excepting, she you can be attracted to someone and not really know them.", Whitney explained.
"Ok, Whitney, thanks.", Fox replied.
"No, problem.", Whitney replied, then hung up as did he.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theresa lay there all she could think about was what had happened right on that very bed she lay on, they'd made love, how could this be happening, how could she'd slept with him, knowing he loved Whitney. "God, why do I always mess up everything?"
"Theresa?", Pilar asked knocking on the door.
"Mama, come in, I'm up.", Theresa replied.
"You haven't been asleep, all night have you?", Pilar asked.
"No, I can't sleep.", Theresa replied.
"Fox?", Pilar questioned. "Something happened here tonight didn't it?"
"Yeah, something happened all right.", Theresa replied.
"Theresa, please don't tell me you didn't…", Pilar began.
"Yes, mama, I slept with him.", Theresa admitted.
"Oh, My God, Theresita, what was you thinking?"
"Mama, I don't know, I knew he loved Whitney, but yet I couldn't help it, mama I love him so much.", Theresa replied tears rolling down her cheek.
"Theresa…", Pilar began, there was really nothing she could say, Theresa had to be patient and hopefully things would turn out for the best.
"Fox is so confused mama, he says he don't want to lose me. But I don't see how we can only be friends, everything is so messed up.", Theresa replied.
"Have you tried talking with him?", Pilar asked.
"Yeah, but, he made no sense, when I asked him if he loved he said, he didn't know and then proceeded to tell me that he couldn't lose me, I was his everything.", Theresa replied. "Mama, men are so confusing."
"I know.", Pilar replied. "But, honey Fox has no experience when it comes to love, so it'll take time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God, I'm late, I was suppose to have been here at 11:30 and it's…", the woman began. "4:45, God I'm late."

"Who could that be at this hour?", Pilar asked.
"I don't know.", Theresa replied, secretly hoping it was Fox., Pilar got up and walked down stairs with Theresa at her heels.
"Just a second.", Pilar replied, walking over to the door.
"Oh, My Goodness, Paloma?", Pilar replied. "What are you doing here?"
"Paloma?", Theresa replied hugging her sister.
"Theresa, mama, it's so good to see you.", Paloma replied. "Where's Luis and Miguel?:"
"Luis is with Sheridan at the cottage and Miguel is at the Bennett's with Charity.", Pilar explained.
"Come on, Paloma, let's take these up stairs to my room.", Theresa replied.
"Ok, mama, we'll be right back down.",. Paloma replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, what brings you back?', Theresa asked.
"I quit school.", Paloma admitted. "I'm kind of in a jam."
"What sort of jam ?", Theresa asked.
"I'm pregnant.", Paloma admitted.
"Oh, My God, Loma, mama's gonna freak.", Theresa replied.
"I know, that's why I came here, I'm getting an abortion.", Paloma replied.
"Loma, that's against everything, you were taught.", Theresa replied.
"So, is a baby out of wedlock.", Paloma replied.
"Still. Loma, it's a part of you.", Theresa reasoned.
"Theresa, I can't afford a kid.", Paloma replied.
"Well, they're always adoption.", Theresa offered.
"We'll talk about this later.", Paloma replied. 'Much later.'
"Ok, Paloma, but, don't make no irrational decision.", Theresa replied. "Promise."
"Promise.", Paloma replied. "So, what's new, in you're life."
Theresa sighed. "I'm over Ethan.", Theresa replied.
"Good.", Paloma replied. "And who's the new guy?"
"New Guy?", Theresa asked.
"Come on, Resa it's written all over ya face.", Paloma replied. "So, tell me is he a hottie?"
"Loma?", Theresa began.
"Don't try to deign it Theresa you're in love, and I wanna know who." ,Paloma replied. "So, spill."
"Fox Crane.", Theresa confessed.
"Crane, Resa, no.", Paloma began.
"No, Loma, he's wonderful, he's everything I ever wanted, he except me flaws and all.", Theresa replied, with a glee in her eye. "He's charming, witty, funny, good-looking, intelligent.", Theresa continued.
"So, why isn't he with you?", Paloma asked. "He's defiantly heaven sent from the way you describe him."
"He's kind of with someone.", Theresa replied tears forming in her eyes.
"Who, who could he possible choose over my wonderful, big sister.", Paloma asked.
"Whit.", Theresa replied. "He's in love with Whitney Russel, my best friend."
"Oh, Resa, I'm so sorry.", Paloma replied.
"It gets better, we kind of slept together last night.", Theresa replied.
"Oh, My Goodness, I'm gonna kill him.", Paloma replied.
"Loma…", Theresa began.
"He's not gonna use you as his whore.", Paloma replied.
"Loma, I could have said no.", Theresa defended.
"Oh, come on, Theresa, he took advange of you.", Paloma defended.
"Loma, no he didn't.", Theresa argued.
"Yes, he if he knew you cared for him.", Paloma replied.
"Loma, he don't, Fox isn't too familiar when it comes to the whole love thing.", Theresa defended.
"Well, he sure is familiar when comes to putting his…", Paloma began.
"Loma!!", Theresa exclaimed.
"What, I'm pissed off at men, thinking they can use woman like door mates.", Paloma replied.
