Chapter 22:

What In The World Is Wrong With You?

Kathelina drove as fast as she could, she had to see Fox she had to make sure he didn't do anything he might regret later, she arrived at the mansion in record time, 10 minutes, it usually took a good 30 minutes to drive, because of traffic, but tonight there wasn't no traffic and she thank God for it. She ran as fast as she could to the door and used her key to let herself in.

"Foxworth, are you here? Samantha?", she yelled, her voice could be heard throughout the mansion, she ran to the study and threw the door open.

"Katherine..", Julian began.

"Father, Doctor Russell, what in the hell?", she asked.

"Katherine it's not what you think.", Julian told her.

"Really, she's naked and on top of you. I'm sorry but, where I come from, it looks to me like you're doing the nasty."

"Katherine, please, it's not what you think.", Eve Russell told her.

"The names Kathelina and uh- if it's not what I think please enlighten me doctor."

"Katherine, please don't be …"

"Rude, how else would anybody react walking in on you and your booty call?"

"Katherine, she's not…"

"I don't really, care father, just tell me if you've seen Foxworth and I'll be on my merry little way."

"No.", Julian told her.

"He's at the cottage.", eve told her.

"Thank you. "Kathelina replied. "Oh and you two kids have fun now."

Kathelina closed the door and laughed. "What kind of people are my family."

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

Ethan walked up to the cottage, Samantha wasn't in the mansion and he figured she'd be here with Fox. Fox. Why did she have to seduce him, why did Alistair have to be so cruel? He walked up to the window shocked by what he saw Sam was topless straddling Fox. Then seen drove him crazy, less then 24 hours ago, she was with him. He walked up to the door and opened it letting himself in, he was standing merely 4 feet from them.

"Uh-hmm.", he cleared his throat cause Sam to jump to her feet. "Nice to see how sad you are without Theresa. Hell, she hasn't even moved out and here you are bedding this whore.", Ethan looked at them both with disgust. "Put your clothes on.", he told Sam, she didn't dare look at him, he was furious with her.

"Fox, I'll be…", Sam began, buttoning her blouse.

"No, don't let me stop you.", Ethan told her. "Go ahead, fuck him all night long.. Just know that he'll be imagining Theresa and not you."

"Eth, that's enough.", Fox told him.

"I haven't even got started.", Ethan told him. "Do, you know what she's done?"

Sam looked at him, her eyes pleading with him. 'Please, no, God Ethan don't do this, don't do this.'

"Ethan, what are you talking about?", Fox asked, glancing from Sam to Ethan, he could tell she was worried.

"She came here to ruin your marriage.", Ethan told him, not caring what happened to Sam. "From day one she want you, you idiot."

"Ethan, what are you talking about?", Fox asked, he noticed Sam glaring at Ethan.

"She had the hots for you from the first time she lay eyes on you.", Ethan told him.

"How'd you know, you wasn't…"

"Oh, I was there in the garden."

"What?"

"I spied on her.", Ethan told him. "Remember the day she first came here you fond her outside well I was there I watched her, she heard me and then well she walked outside, but I disappeared before you or her could see me."

Sam looked at him, he'd saved her, he hadn't told Fox.

"I'll be going now, hope you too kiddies have fun. Share all the STDs you want, lord knows she's got every decease possible considering her profession.", Ethan told them walking out the same way he came in mad as hell.

"Fox, I'll go.", Sam told him following Ethan.

"Ethan!!!", Sam yelled, he didn't turn around. "ETHAN, DAMNIT turn around."

"What?", Ethan asked. "Why aren't you in there.", he motioned to the cottage.

"Because, I hurt you, Ethan, you got to understand I never wanted to hurt you, I never wanted to hurt anybody."

"Well, you did, Theresa and Fox are over, he's in to you, just like Alistair wanted. Sam, I'm sorry I should have never got involved with you, cause now I don't want to let you go."

"Ethan…"

"I'm sorry, Sam, I'm sorry, my main goal is Theresa, I need to remember that, go on. Go back to Fox. GO on, finish what we started."

Sam looked at him. "Samantha, damnit don't look at me like that, do you know how bad I yearn for you Samantha. How bad, I want to throw you don't on this ground and make love to you till I draw my last breath."

"Ethan, It can't happen, Alistair gave me orders to - to stay away from you. Ethan, in another circumstance I'd say to hell with Alistair but, my father and brother's lives…"

"I know, babe, I know."

"Ethan, I'm sorry."

"SO am I."

"Sorry about what?", Kathelina asked.

Ethan sighed, why didn't Kathelina mind her own business or at least stay out of his.

"About the rape, you're brother is a complete asshole.", Sam told her, looking at Ethan with sympathy.

"Why don't you press charges?", Kathelina asked.

"I don't want to make a seen.", Sam relied. 'And, how in the hell can I possibly put this wonderful man in jail?'

"I see.", Kathelina replied, looking from Sam to Ethan,. "Is Nicholas home?"

"Yeah, he is.", Ethan told her. "Theresa left him."

"And, I'm sure that's right up your alley, the both of yours."

"Kathelina, I never meant them any harm.", Sam replied.

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe a damn word of that."

"Well, it's the truth weather you believe me or not."

"I hope it's the truth.", Kathelina replied, walking up to the cottage, looking back to where Samantha and Ethan stood.

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

Rachel picked up the key Kathelina had to Dylan's apartment. "Time I visited my good buddy Dylan."

She walked down the hall five doors down and opened his door and let herself in.

"Howdy, neighbor.", Rachel told him, he was lying on the couch.

"How'd you…", Dylan began, Rachel waved the key in the air.

"My sister had a copy, member?"

"That's her key not…", Dylan began.

"Dylan, who is that?", Theresa asked, walking out of the bedroom.

"Theresa? What are you doing here?", Rachel asked. "Get any yet Dyl?"

"Shut up. Rachel, you are despicable.", Dylan told her.

"I take it that means she keep her legs closed."

"God, what are you doing here, what do you want, how'd you get in?"

"Keys, duh, Kathelina had a copy of the apartment key."

"What do you want?", Theresa asked.

"To visit."

"At this hour?"

"Hey, I'm a night owl, didn't interrupt your sex game did I?"

"What?", Theresa asked. "I was in the bedroom, Dylan was on the couch."

"So, you might was going to come in here and rip at his clothes, you know, since the kids are no doubly in the bedroom."

"Rachel…"

"What would Ethan think, walking on you doing uncle Dylan?"

"God, you're…"

"How'd you explain it, Theresa oh, mommy, is just keep em' him satisfied?"
"God."

"Theresa, I hate to leave you hear but, this- this woman, is getting on my nervous.", Dylan told them walking out the door.

"Truth hurts don't it baby?", Rachel called after him.

"So, who's better Fox or Dylan?", Rachel asked, smirking.

"I didn't…", Theresa replied.

"Then you're crazy.", Rachel told her. "Dylan, is your solution to everything honey, he's hot, Fox's best friend and well lets just say he's no bore between the sheets."

"Rachel, I love my husband."

"And, he apparently loves you too. So much that he was getting in on with Samantha earlier."

"How do you…"

"Trust me, I have sources.", Rachel told her. "And they are most certainly never wrong."

"Fox slept with Sam?"

"Was going to, Ethan interrupted."

"Oh."

"But, eventually, he'll have his little chamber maid friend in the bed, doing her magic somewhere else but, around the house."

"Oh God, why do you get so much pleasure out of others pain?"

"Theresa, I'm trying to help honey. Let me give you a little bit of advise, make Fox jealous and use his best friend, the only person who knows him, the real him, to do it."

"You mean Dylan?"

"Yeah, look at the plus of it, you can get some side actions while you wait for Fox to make up his mind."

"Rachel…"

"I'll be going.", Rachel replied. "Member what I said and just look at the boy hop his bone while you can."

Rachel left and Dylan walked in.

"She's gone, finally.", Dylan exclaimed. "she's insane."

"I know."
"Good night, buddy."

"Good night."

"Sweet Dreams, Theresa."

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

"Hey, Fox, just thought I'd stop by."., Kathelina told him walking in.

"Kat, hey, Samantha still outside?", Fox asked.

"Yeah, her and Ethan."

"Ethan, God why doesn't he leave her alone?"

"I don't know, but I wouldn't much blame him, with all the attention she gives him. She's got it bad for Ethan real bad."

"No, Samantha hates him."

"I seriously doubt it, she was outside earlier in deep conversation."

"OH MY GOD, I'll kill him, he's going to leave her alone or I'll…"

"Sam was here tonight wasn't she, how could you, Theresa's things aren't even out yet and here you are moving that home wrecking…"

"Katherine, there is no need for name calling, you don't know her."

"No, but, Fox she has no morals, she's here with you a married man."

"Samantha, is my friend."

"Who are you now Angelina Jolie? Fox, most people don't bed there friends."

"Sam, is a good person ."

"Fox, what? You don't sleep with a person because they're nice."

"That's not, what I meant Katherine."

"I know, but Fox you loved Theresa."

"She left me and went home with your boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend."

"Yeah, whatever, she betrayed me."

"Fox, she left because of what you said, why do you think I left Dylan, because I didn't want to come second best to another woman. I'm sorry, but I see Theresa's point."

"Get out, I don't need you here up holding Theresa, she left me."

"Fox, damn it you act like you haven't done nothing wrong, you're the one with another woman, you're the one who is lusting after Samantha, Theresa hasn't done a thing."

"SHE LEFT WITH DYLAN!"

"I KNOW!"

"Well, what does that tell you Kathelina? She wants to fuck him?"

"What? Uh-uh no."

"Well, why else would she moved in, no doubly she's sleeping in his bed."

"Fox? You're children are there she'd never ever caring on like that in front of her kids."

"She cared on with me in front of Ethan."

"That was different, Theresa would never sleep with Dylan, Little Ethan thinks of you as his father, she'd never let her kids suffer because of her sexual needs."

"Well, she'll just send them away."

"Fox, come on you know her, she isn't interested in Dylan. Besides she knows that if she gets involved with Dylan, it would crush me."

"Hell hath no fury, like Theresa's scorn. I've seen her in action and she will stop at nothing to get her revenge."

"Honey, I think you have her confused with Samantha , she did everything she could to get you."

"Samantha, is…"

"A home wrecker, a bed hopper, a slut?", Kathelina offered. "Pick one, cause Fox open up your eyes she was never your friend."

"NEITHER WAS Dylan."

"Dylan hasn't done anything to you or Theresa. Sam, is the source of your problems."

"No, Dylan used you to get to Theresa."

"NO. Sam, used her past to get you to feel sympathetic towards her."

"No, Samantha is a pitiful person, her life hasn't been a bed of roses."

"Neither has yours or mine or Theresa, no one has it made in life."

"No, Kathelna you have been pampered all your life you've never seen the real world, Ethan, Rachel and I took care of you all your lives, making sure you didn't get hurt."

"Nick, I'm not fragile, I know more about the "real world" then you think. I can read people and Samantha isn't what you think, she's just liked Audrey, Amanda, Kasha, and all the others only wanting what they can get from you and then leaving you. "

"Sam, doesn't want my money, okay, Samantha isn't after money."

"How do you know?"

"I can tell, she likes me."

"Wow! She's likes you,. Big deal? Theresa loves you, she married you, you two have a family, Fox wake up from the dream world you created. Samantha isn't what you want."

"How do you know?"

"I just do."

"No."

"Fox I watched you, you were lost when you came to Europe that night, you acted as if a part you was dead and when I called Whit and she said Theresa was sick, you- you were a wreck, you just had to be there for her. Then you all over came so much, Ethan, the explosion, Dylan, everything and now you're willing to give that up, why? What does Samantha have that makes you so fascinated by her?"

"I don't have to answer this, it's my life so Katherine butt out. "

"Fine.", Kathelina told him. "When, you lose her don't come crying to me. Theresa didn't wait on Ethan and no how much she loves you she isn't going to wait forever on you, Nicholas don't throw what you two have away. Whores come and go, but true love comes once in a life time.", she walked out leaving Fox to ponder her words.
