Chapter 19:

Seeing Red

"Hey.", Rachel greeted walking in.

"Rachel?", Theresa asked, giving her a confused look.

"Theresa, hey can we talk?', Rachel asked.

"Why?', Theresa asked. "Why do you suddenly want to be friends?"

"Theresa, we're family, you are my brother's wife. Our children will be cousins.", Rachel replied.

"You don't have children, Rachel.", Theresa replied.

"One day, I will.", Rachel replied.

"Rachel, what are you up to? Whose life are you trying to destroy now?", Theresa asked. "Kathelina's , Dylan's , Fox's , mine?"

"No, I just thought we could be friends, hey you get along with Kat, don't you?", Rachel asked.

"Yeah, well Kathelina, hasn't been nothing but, nice and supportive to me.", Theresa replied. "As where you have been mean, rude and well you've made it no secret that you hate me."

"Well, looks can be deceiving, I was apart of your and Foxworth's wedding, right?", Rachel asked.

"Only, for your own benefit.", Theresa replied.

"No, I love my brother and want him to be happy and well if you apparently make him happy.", Rachel replied.

"Well, duh, Rachel he married me, not once but, twice. Rachel, that should tell you something.", Theresa replied.

"Well, if you want to stay married, I'd keep him away from Samantha.", Rachel replied. "There is way to much friendliness going on between them."

"What are you insinuating that Fox is cheating on me?" Theresa asked.

"Not, yet, but, yeah I think that eventually Sam will seduce your husband and he will be so bewitched by her that he'll give in.", Rachel replied.

"You obviously don't know your brother, he would never let anyone come between us.", Theresa replied. "No, matter how turned on he may become."

"Nice, to know you believe in Foxworth, but he really hasn't changed. He still chases after the girls, particularly Samantha Jenkins.", Rachel replied.

"Rachel, I'm not Kathelina, I will not be manipulated by you and I will not let you have power over me.", Theresa replied.

"Okay, but, I just thought I'd give you some friendly little advise.", Rachel replied. "Watch, your husband.", with that Rachel turned and left.

Sam lie there watching Ethan sleep, 'what did we do? Where do things go from? Does Ethan regret this? Does he think I'm a slut a no good whore who opens her legs to any man walking. But, Ethan isn't just any man he was more than that I trust him, I haven't known him long, but yet I trust him and Fox. Fox? Why do I have to hurt him? Alistair is a monster, hiring her and Ethan to break up his grandson's marriage.'

"Samantha?", Ethan asked, stirring from his sleep.

"Right here, my love.", Sam whispered.

"Your, love? Samantha are you felling okay?", Ethan asked.

"I'm perfectly fine.", Sam replied. " Actually, I'm more than fine, I'm so happy."

"Really, why?", Ethan asked.

"Because, of this wonderful man, who is nothing but, loving, kind and caring who treats me like I'm special and choose to see the good in me, even though there isn't much good to see.", Samantha replied.

Ethan laughed. "Well, apparently you don't regret last night or hate me and think I took advantage of you?"

"No, I was hoping last night was a start of something new and good. Cause, I really like waking up in your arms and felling your skin upon mine.", Sam replied.

"Really, Ms. Jenkins?", Ethan asked.

"Really.", Sam replied, kissing him passionately.

"Fox, hey Julian's in his room.", they heard Phyllis tell him.

"Shit!", Sam exclaimed. "Fox can't catch us."

"He won't just follow my lead.", Ethan whispered. "And, trust me.", he got up, and put on a boxers and a tee shirt.

"Okay.", Sam replied.

"Samantha, why are you freaking out it was just sex.", Ethan replied loud enough for Fox to hear him.

Sam looked at him, confused. "It isn't like you were a virgin, and you seemed to like it last night when you were scream my name as I…"

"Ethan, God, you are disgusting.", Sam exclaimed, playing along.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that you think that doll, because, I find you luscious.", Ethan replied, running her hands over her naked body.

"ETHAN, GET OFF OF HER!", Fox exclaimed.

"Why don't you mind your business and go fuck your wife.", Ethan replied. "Or are you too busy try to get this in bed, but wouldn't much blame you though, she's really a spite fire between the sheets."

"Fox, it's not what you think, I don't know how I got here.", Sam told him, glancing at Ethan while she spoke.

"I believe you, Sam.", Fox replied. "YOU, ARE DISPICABLE.", he told Ethan.

"Why, do you care, what goes on between Samantha and me?", Ethan asked. "Don't tell me you want both Theresa and Samantha in your bed? Three on a mattress?"

"YOU, Bastard!", Fox exclaimed, coming towards, Ethan, Sam looked at Fox, he was furious and Ethan poor man didn't know what he'd got himself into.

"Theresa is in deed sexy, but Samantha so beautiful, and boy Fox you ought to see her in bed, she does all the naughty things Theresa would never.", Ethan continued knowing Fox was already mad.

"Ethan?", Sam warned, as Fox grabbed him connecting his fist with Ethan's face.

"EEETHAN, FOX, QUIT!!!!", Sam exclaimed as both men began to fight.

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

"Theresa, hey.", Kathelina greeted totally ignoring Dylan. "Where's Nick?"

"Upstairs, he went to go see Julian.", Dylan replied.

"Oh.", Kathelina replied, staring at Dylan.

"I got to go find Phyllis.", Theresa replied.

"Theresa…", Kathelina began in a stern tone.

"Kat, be nice, he is a guest in your home after all.", Theresa replied, Dylan smirked at Kathelina, as to say ha ha.

"Correction, this is my father's home.", Kathelina replied.

"Same difference.", Theresa replied. "I'll leave you two…"

"FOX, GET OFF OF HIM! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!", they heard Sam exclaimed.

"Fox!!", Theresa exclaimed in complete shock.

"ETHAN, DAMNIT, SHUT UP DO YOU WANT HIM TO KILL YOU?", Sam continued.

"Ethan?", Kathelina exclaimed.

"Fox'll kill him for sure.", Theresa replied.

"If he hasn't already.", Kathelina replied.

"Well, come we can't just stand here and let Fox waste his life on the worthless bastard.", Dylan told them, heading up the steps Theresa and Kathelina at his heels.

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

"FOX, COME ON GET OFF!!!", Sam exclaimed.

"No, he ought to have died, but you know what they say if once you don't succeed try, try again.", Fox told them.

"Fox, come on, I can't breath, you can't kill me.", Ethan told him in between gasps for breath.

"Give me one reason, you deserve to die, hell they won't punish me, they'll give me a metal, for taking you out of the world.", Fox told him.

"NICHOLAS, PLEASE GET OFF HIM!!!!", Kathelina exclaimed as she walked in.

"What's going on here?", Julian asked.

"Fox is going to kill him.", Kathelina told him.

"FOX, COME ON YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT GET OFF HIM!", Julian replied, trying to reason with his son.

"Not, quite yet, I want him dead.", Fox replied.

"FOX, MAN HE DESRVES IT BUT, THINK OF WHAT YOU'LL BE LOSING?", Dylan told him.

"Fox, please, don't kill him, don't let Ethan win.", Kathelina told him.

"She's Right, I'll get my wish you'll be in jail and she'll be far, far away from you and your kids, Nichole and Little Ethan will suffer.", Ethan told him between gasps.

"You know, what Ethan I don't care.", Fox told him.

"Fox, damnit, listen to her.", Dylan told him. "Ethan would say or do anything to get what he wants."

"Fox, You heard him, he wants us apart and if you kill him he'll have his wish, you'll be in jail away from me and the kids.", Theresa told him, she tried to sound as calm as she could even though she felt as if her world was crumbling.

"She's right, I'm not going to let you win.", Fox told Ethan.

"Fox, come on let's get out of here.", Kathelina told him, jerking him away from Ethan.

"Good, you leave, but know I'm pressing charges.", Ethan told him.

"Grow up Ethan.", Kathelina yelled back to him.

"He attacked me.", Ethan continued.

"Be thankful he didn't kill you.", Dylan told him.

"What's going on….", Rachel began, looking over at Sam who was only clothed with a sheet. "Oh, never mind, you're here, that explains everything."

"What's that suppose to mean?", Theresa and Dylan asked.

"She's using Ethan to get Fox's attention.", Rachel explained.

"No, I'm not and I'm tired of you always judging me.", Sam replied. "You don't know me."

"Rachel, get out.", Ethan told her. "All of you get out, this isn't a family get together."

"Okay, as you wish.", Rachel replied.

"No, problem.", Dylan replied.

"I got to go find Fox, anyhow.", Theresa replied.

With that they all left leaving Sam and Ethan alone together.

"Oh My God, he could have killed you.", Sam replied, taking her hand to his swollen eyelid.

"I'm fine, really, Sam.", Ethan told her.

"No, Ethan if Theresa and the others did walk in when they did Fox would have killed you.", Sam told him.

"But, they did and I'm fine.", Ethan told her lifting her other hand to his lips.

"But, still….", Sam began.

"But, nothing.", Ethan replied. "Sam, you got to stop living by the what ifs and what might have beens.",

"Ethan, I can't help it, I couldn't bear it if I lost you.", Sam replied.

"But, you won't, Sam I'm not going no where.", Ethan told her.

"Ethan, don't say that, everyone leaves me in the end.", Sam told him.

"No, Samantha, you are stuck with me.", Ethan told her.

"What about, Alistair what if he doesn't approve of last night of us.", Sam replied.

"From, where I'm standing Samantha, I don't see Why not, he hired us to tire apart Fox and Theresa and that's what we'll do.", Ethan told her.

"What, then?', Sam asked.

"Are you going to leave me-leave me for Theresa?", Sam asked.

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

"Now, do you see what I'm talking about?", Rachel asked Theresa, with a satisfying smirk.

"Why do you always, got to do that?", Dylan asked. "Get pleasure out of other peoples pain?"

"Well, I know another way you can give me pleasure, Dylan.", Rachel replied, smirking at him, undressing him with her eyes.

"No, thank you, I'm not that dispirit.", Dylan replied.

"Hey, you haven't lived till you had this.", Rachel replied, smirking at him as to say come and get it.

"No, Rachel, I think the correct term is you won't be living long after you have this.", Dylan told her smirking at Theresa, who laughed at Dylan's comment.

"You find that funny, hon.?', Rachel asked. "I know something three times as funny."

"What would that be ? Your tacky little get ups you happen to call clothes?", Dylan replied.

"Ummm, no.", Rachel replied. "Actually, I was thinking more of on the lines of Theresa's face when she catches Nicholas in the bed with the hired help, namely Samantha."

"God, do you really, love to hear yourself talk that much?', Dylan asked.

"Uh, yeah, do you, love?', Rachel asked. "Back, to what I was saying, how could anyone want to be with someone with that low of a social static."

"Watch it, Rachel.", Theresa warned.

"Ops, sorry, that's right Pilar is a maid.", Rachel continued. "And, you aren't exactly Foxworth's class?"

"Rachel, I swear if you say one more word about me or my family I'll…", Theresa began.

"Rachel, just shut up and go, fuck yourself.", Dylan told her interrupting Theresa.

"Now, Dylan, that's not no fun, now if you want to go do me.", Rachel replied.

"I'm not despite.", Dylan replied.

"Eww, eww, let me guess you want Theresa?", Rachel asked. "What can't have Janet so figured you'd settle for a look alike?"

"Just shut up and go find someone else to go torment.", Dylan told her.

"Very well, you see Theresa he doesn't deny it.", Rachel replied.

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

"Fox, do you realize you were ready to kill your brother over a girl you haven't know 2 months?", Kathelina asked.

"How'd you know it involved Sam?', Fox asked.

"Well, first off she was screaming at you telling you to stop and she was half dress, I rephrase that she was only wearing a sheet and Ethan was barely dressed and lastly, you happen to like her and think Ethan equals trouble."

"Oh."

"Yeah, well what happened with Sam and Ethan that drove you in a fit of rage?"

"He raped her."

"Raped?"

"Yeah, he got her drunk and took advantage of her."

"My, Jesus!!!"

"Yeah."

"If that was the case though, why was she so freaking hysterical when she thought you was gong to kill Ethan?"

"I don't know."

"Me either, cause I know this much, if a man raped me I'd want him dead. Hell any woman would."

"True, but Sam isn't just any woman, she's kind, caring and above all else she's forgiving."

"Careful, brother, you're starting to sound as if you love her, Do you?"

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

"Samantha, you wanted to see me?", Alistair asked.

"How'd….", Sam began.

"I know everything, my dear."

"Oh, okay, what I wanted to talk to you about was-Ethan and I sleep together last night and well neither of us plan on making it a one time thing."

"Really?"

"Yes, sir, you see we were talking and we really don't see how it would hurt the plan."

"Hurt the plan? Samantha you were this close to getting caught by Fox. If not for Phyllis's big mouth you might not have had time to cover your behinds."

"True, but, next time…"

"They'll be no next time Samantha, I can't have your and Ethan's sexual needs destroying my plan."

"But, Alistair."

"I said they'd be no next time."

"Alistair we'll be careful."

"Samantha, they'll be no next time."

"Yes, sir.", Sam replied tears in her eyes.

"I don't care how much you or Ethan cry they'll be no more sex romps, between you two."

"Yes, sir."

"And, don't try to play on my conscience I have none."

"I've noticed."

"Good, all I care about is the future of this family and that means the termination of Fox's marriage to Theresa."

A/N: God, I've wrote this 5 times my computers acting up and won't save nothing, but after 3 days I finally got it to save. So, Plz, Review and Tell Me Do you want Sam with Ethan, I'm not so sure yet, mind is drifting back and forward. N-e way, hope you enjoy.
