Chapter 10:
Girl Talk
Theresa
woke up the next day in an extremely good mood. It seemed that ever since Fox
came back to Harmony, she had been all smiles. Remembering that she and Whitney
were going shopping that day, Theresa quickly got out of bed and began to get
ready. Satisfied with the way she looked and opened her door and walked out
into the hallway and ran right into Ethan.
“Oops! Sorry
Ethan,” Theresa smiled cheerfully, “I wasn’t watching where I was going.”
“It’s alright
Theresa,” Ethan paused, “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
Still smiling
cheerfully, Theresa replied, “Sure, what’s up Ethan?”
“I just wanted
to talk to you about Fox.”
Upon hearing
those words, Theresa immediately frowned. What was with everybody? She was
willing to bet that Ethan was about to warn her to stay away from Fox.
“Okay,” she
casually answered, “What about Fox?”
“I don’t think
you should be hanging out with him.”
Theresa’s eyes
narrowed. Bingo! “And why not?”
“He always
causes trouble. Sooner or later he’ll hurt you,” Ethan said, “Trust me on this
Theresa, Fox is trouble. Stay away from him.”
Theresa felt
her temper flare up. She was sick of everyone trying to tell her what to do! As
calmly as she could, Theresa replied, “Ethan, you have no right telling me what
to do. What Fox and I do is my business, not yours.”
“But he’ll
hurt you!”
“If I get hurt
then it’s my own fault. But I won’t because I trust Fox.”
Ethan looked
dumbfounded. This was not the conversation he had imagined. “But Theresa-“
“Save it
Ethan,” she interrupted, “I have to get going. This conversation is over.” And
with those words, Theresa left.
Ethan stared
after her, shaking his head. ‘This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.’
As
Theresa rounded the corner, she sighed and leaned against the wall. It wasn’t
as hard yelling at Ethan as she thought it’d be. ‘Maybe I am getting over
him after all.’ It didn’t hurt her anymore whenever she heard sounds of
romantic music going on in Gwen’s and Ethan’s room. In fact, the moaning that
followed after disgusted her and she would escape to Fox’s room.
Once in awhile
though, Theresa would have urges to throw her arms around him and kiss him
senseless. But every time she got those urges, she would see Gwen walking
around the mansion, and she would be brought back to reality. Gwen was now 4
months pregnant and getting bigger everyday. She was a lot more tolerable now,
Theresa found.
Shaking her
head, Theresa pulled herself out of her thoughts. ‘No need to dwell on the
past,’ she thought, and with a bright smile on her face, she set off to
meet Whitney at the mall.
Hours
later, and tons of shopping bags in each hand, Theresa and Whitney headed into
the Book Café for a cup of coffee. After giving Beth their order, both girls
sat down at a table and unloaded their stuff. Smiling at her brother’s
girlfriend when the drinks were served, Theresa cheerfully started the
conversation between herself and Whitney. “So tell me, how are you and
“We’re doing
fine,” Whitney paused, “But we talk about me and
Looking a
little surprised, Theresa responded, “Me and Fox?”
“Don’t act all
surprised Theresa,” Whitney laughed, “You and Fox are like the talk of the
town!”
“We are?”
“Yeah! So are
you two an item or what?” Whitney leaned forward eagerly, waiting for her best
friend’s answer.
“No!” Theresa
laughed, “We’re just really good friends.”
Whitney fell
silent for a moment, just thinking, silently observing Theresa.
“What?” the
Hispanic beauty asked.
“Nothing…”
Whitney paused, “Just- ahh never mind.”
“No!” Theresa
protested, “You can’t just leave me hanging here! I wanna know!”
“Okay,”
Whitney hesitated before saying, “Well, it’s just that Chad and I ran into Gwen
the other day.”
“And…”
“Well, she was
very cheerful,” Whitney laughed, “We asked how you were and she said that she
hasn’t seen you around the mansion much.”
At Whitney’s
statement Theresa just shrugged.
“She also
mentioned that you fainted the first time you saw Fox.”
Theresa froze.
She looked up into the expectant gaze of Whitney’s and blush. “Yeah, w-well”
she stammered, “it’s sort of a long story.”
Whitney leaned
forward eagerly. “Do tell!”
Theresa took a
sip of her coffee before starting off. “Well, the only reason why I fainted
when I saw Fox was because I’ve met him before. Only… I didn’t meet him in
person.”
Whitney just
looked confused. “Huh?”
“Okay,”
Theresa paused, “you’re totally going to think I’m crazy, but I met Fox in my
dreams.”
“Okay now
that’s totally crazy.”
“It’s true!”
Theresa insisted, “remember that day.. when you, me and Chad were hanging out
at the Book Café and I was all distracted?”
“The day you
tripped and Ethan caught you?”
“Yeah, the
reason I was so distracted was because I had just had a dream of Fox the night
before. The weirdest thing was, in every dream I’ve had.. it was always me and
Fox in love.”
Whitney looked
at her best friend in disbelief. “Are you feeling sick Theresa?”
“No!”
“I’m sorry
Theresa, but it sounds kind of unbelievable to me.”
“Oh I know, I
found it really bizarre too,” Theresa responded, “but it’s funny, since Fox
came back to town, every time I saw Ethan, it didn’t hurt me. I mean last
night, when Fox and I went to go pick out a movie to watch, I actually
smiled at the sight of Ethan and Gwen cuddled up on the couch.”
“Wow
Theresa..” Whitney observed Theresa’s smiling face for a moment, “Does this
mean you’re over Ethan?”
Theresa
thought for a moment then smiled. “You know.. I think I am. I guess fate
brought Fox back to Harmony so I can be free and happy again.”
Whitney
snorted. “You and your fate, but you know.. in a way, you’re right. You’ve been
much happier and smiling more since Fox came back. Maybe fate really does
exist.”
Theresa just
smiled and took another sip of her coffee.
Of course fate
existed.
Review and make my day!!
