"Ethan, why don't you go to the living room and watch the tapes mama bought you?", Paloma suggested watching as the little boy trotted off.
"What's up?", Theresa asked turning to her sister.
"Theresa, I need to tell you something.", Paloma replied hesitantly. "Whitney, told you about what happened at the Book Café', right?"
"Yeah, about Fox, and someone attacking him..", Theresa began, remembering, her and Whitney's conversation from earlier.
*~*Flashback*~*
"What, What happened?", Theresa asked.
"This woman, just came up to Fox and I and began cussing and hitting him.", Whitney replied.
"Why?", Theresa asked. "Who was she?"
"I don't know, she said something about him using her sister.", Whitney replied.
"When?", Theresa asked.
"Honey, that isn't important.", Whitney replied, she knew the truth would break her heart.
"When, Whitney?", Theresa repeated.
"Last Night.", Whitney replied seeing the pain flash in her eyes.
"Last Night.", Theresa replied, no he couldn't have, he couldn't have slept with a woman last night he couldn't have left her bed and went into another woman's bed'
*~*End of Flashback*~*
"Paloma, You didn't?", Theresa questioned.
"Sorry, Resa, I over exaggerate, sometimes.:" Paloma began.
"Over exaggerate, Loma you ruined his any chance he had at getting Whitney.", Theresa replied.
"What? Resa, don't tell me you're not going to fight for what's yours?", Paloma replied.
"He's not mind, Loma.", Theresa replied. "He loves Whitney."
"Yeah, right.", Paloma replied sarcastically. "Theresa, that boy's face light up with the slightest mention of you."
"We're friends.", Theresa defended. "Fox doesn't want to nothing more than friends."
"Well, maybe if you'd just go to him and tell him.", Paloma suggested. "Come on, Resa, everyone knows you're in love with him, and he's in love with you."
"And, I know he loves Whitney, I knew from day one.", Theresa replied. "I'm such a fool."
"Amen!", Paloma replied.
Theresa gave her a question look.
"Theresa, he's totally into you and if you haven't noticed he's totally hot.", Paloma replied. "Oh, well, I'll just go after him myself, you're loss sissy."
"Over my dead body.", Theresa vowed. "Loma, you'll not go know where near him."
"Why, not?", Paloma asked. "Whitney, apparently isn't interest and you gave up on him….", Paloma replied.
"Loma?", Theresa questioned.
"You know, why don't I just call him up now?", Paloma said picking up the phone.
"Paloma, give me the damn thing.", Theresa replied, grabbing at the phone.
"Hello?", Paloma replied. "Yeah, Fox, I was thinking maybe we could go out, catch a movie, have a nice romantic dinner. You'd love to, 7 tomorrow….", Paloma began before getting the phone snatched out of her hand. "Fox?", Theresa asked. "Loma, God I hate you.", Theresa replied slamming the phone down, Paloma had actually faked this whole calling Fox thing.
Paloma let out a laugh. "You ought to have saw your face, sissy.", Paloma replied, turning to Theresa. "Is lover boy, that good in between the sheets or do you really love him that much.?"
"Paloma, I'm crazy in love with him, God, I didn't think it was possible but, I love Fox way more then I ever loved Ethan. With Ethan I had to pretend to be all pure and saint like, as with Fox I could be myself and he excepts me."

"Fox?", Ethan yelled knocking on Fox's bedroom.
"Hold on a minute.", Fox replied. "What's wrong with you, Gwen finally find a replacement?"
"What did you do to Theresa?", Ethan replied full of anger.
"Nothing, I haven't even saw her today, why?", Fox replied.
"You're lying.", Ethan accused.
"Why, would I even want to waste my time lying to you, I don't care what you think and wither or not my actions please you.", Fox replied.
"You, are using Theresa to get back at me, you've always been jealous of me.", Ethan accused.
"Yeah, maybe I use to be, but you see I'm far great in Theresa's eyes than you'll ever be.", Fox bragged. "Ethan, Theresa been with a real man, why in the hell would she want a poor mama's boy like you?"
"You slept with her?", Ethan asked. "I'll KILL YOU!!"
"Why, Theresa's moving on, just like you told her to.", Fox replied. "But, I guess you never guessed it'd be with your half- brother.:"
"You'll just hurt her, you'll taint her.", Ethan defended.
"No, un-like you, I love her, respect her, accept her, but most importantly, I won't give up on us no matter what.", Fox replied.
"You aren't capable of those things.", Ethan replied turning his heel and left.
"Well, see.", Fox replied, secretly vowing to do all those things.
"Does, that mean you've gave up on Whitney?", Julian asked walking out from behind the door
"What, now we've result to snooping?", Fox asked.
"Foxworth, I'm try to be a father to my children. I've changed.", Julian replied.
"Oh, really?", Fox asked. "So, let me guess you're going come in give me some speech about how Whitney's too good for me and that Theresa's well, to trashy for me is that it?:"
"No.", Julian replied, causing him to gain Fox's attention.
"Then, enlighten me, what are you hear to say?", Fox replied.
"To, fall your heart.", Julian replied. "Not you're brain or your uh- reproducing organ.", Julian advised.
"Easier, said then done.", Fox replied with a bit of a chuckle.
"Tell me about it.", Julian replied with a laugh.
"Seriously, though, I don't know what I'm felling for neither Resa or Whit.", Fox confessed.
"What do you mean?", Julian questioned.
"I don't know what love is, much less how to express it.", Fox admitted. "All, I know is I want Theresa around ans when she's not around I miss her and I count the hours till I see her again.", Fox admitted.
"And, what about Whitney, how do you fell about her?", Julian questioned.
"She's really been there for me, no matter what she's had my back, as does Theresa, father, is it possible that I love both Whitney and Theresa?", Fox asked.
"No, I don't think so.", Julian replied. "Listen, Fox, I can sit here all day and talk about love and what's like, but you'll know it if it's real, you'll feel it, you'll be swept away by her, not only by her outer beauty but, inner as well.", Fox just stared at him, not really sure what to say or do. "But, whatever you do, don't mess it up, don't sacrifice her in order to please no one, including me or father."
