Two Dates
Theresa walked towards her house, after an exciting day at the Crane
Mansion. Ethan awhile ago had realized that something wasn't right
with is
relationship with Gwen Hotchkiss and he had told her, that they should
see
other people. Of Coarse she had tried to tell him otherwise but his
mind was
made up, and they went there separate ways After this, Ethan started
to
realize his roaming eye towards Theresa. The whole stalker business
had
been cleared away , after Frank had found out that Theresa really was
the
stalker, yet Theresa managed to explain things to Ethan, and him being
the
nice person he is, took it for truth (because it was the truth) and
all was
settled.
"Yikes!" Theresa exclaimed when she was off Crane property. "This is
it, the
bug leagues. Ethan asked me out on a date, well he said it was a dinner-
get
together, But in my mind, he might as well said date!" And She bounced
home
to tell the good news to Whitney, and her mother. No way would she
tell
Luis, he would probably march himself up to Ethan and tell him to 'get
the
hell away from my sister'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile:
'Well I actually did it, I asked Theresa out on a date, Why Ethan, are
you
such a chicken. You choked up at the word 'date' and said get together.
What
A schmuck I am. She probably thinks I'm some loser who she agreed to
go out
with because she saw how freaked I was to ask her to diner, wait what
am I
thinking, i'm Ethan Crane, of coarse she would want to go out with
me. Hello
Ethan!? anybody home!? You do want someone to go out with you because
of you
and not your Crane money? righT!? Theresa, not like that, I saw the
way her
face lit up when I asked her.' Ethan had this kind of argument
going on in
his head all day long! The 'date' wasn't until the next evening, Saturday
night.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surprisingly enough, Sheridan and Luis had started what some people
would
call a friendship. They always were laughing and joking and messing
around
with each other. Luis seemed to forget all the time that he was with
a
Crane. To him, she could've been Sheridan Smith, but she wasn't a Crane,
no-no. Her personality was sweet, Caring, understanding, and funny.
There
actions towards one another could be called 'Flirting'. Just the way
they
would brush the hair out of each others faces, or gently touch the
others
shoulder or smile to get the other one to smile.
In a way that everyone but themselves could realize, They were falling
in
love. They both kind of suspected that love was blooming for them,
but they
brushed it off, and went on flirting. Until one day......
Sheridan had been fooling around with Luis a but by tickling him in
his
stomach, his worst spot for tickling. After that was over, Luis realized
he
wasn't going to wait any longer.
"Hey Sheridan, can you come here for a moment?" Luis started to tense
up
'what if she laughs at me, no no worst, she comes up with a lame
excuse to
get out of it. Am I a fool for doing this?!' All these thoughts and
more
poured into Luis's head.
"Yeah sure Luis, what's up?" Sheridan started to walk in the direction
of
his office, where he was standing. 'Please God, lets this be the time
he
asks he out! Please, I don't ask for much, just let this relationship
be the
one, please!' Sheridan pleaded as she walking right into the office.
"Um, Yeah Sheridan, i was curious if you had plans tomorrow night?"
Luis
asked. 'yeah great opening, stupid' Luis shot at himself in his thoughts.
'Thank you Lord!! I owe you one!! Big time! I know he's going to ask
me out,
he has to!'
"No Luis, as of now, I am free" Sheridan said, proudly.
"Well, I was just wondering if you would like to join me for dinner?"
There, short and to the point, his head thought.
"Luis, I thought you would never ask!" Sheridan exclaimed. Outside,
she
remained smiling yet composed. Inside, her heart was screaming, jumping
with
happiness. ' Oh yeah, he asked me out, oh yeah!'
"Phew! I thought you might say no." He joked.
"Me say no!? I have been waiting for like a month for you to ask me
out, I
was going to do it myself. But I was too shy"
"Sheridan Crane...shy? never!" They both laughed at Luis last comment.
Luis leaned in and kissed Sheridan. It lasted longer than both Luis
and
Sheridan expected it too, but neither of them could pull away. It was
just
too hard. Finally they backed out for air.
"Pick you up at eight?" Luis said
"Don't be late" Sheridan added, as they kissed again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday was here. Theresa had been in the Bathroom all afternoon long,
getting ready for her date with Ethan that was at 7:30 p.m..
"Theresa, you are one wacko girl. It's 2:00 pm!! you have another 5
and a
half hours till Ethan picks you up. Don't you think your overdoing
it, just
a little bit?" Whitney asked as she placed curlers in Theresa hair.
"No Way Whitney. I have waited all of my life for Ethan to ask me out.
Its
finally here, There is no way I am going to go out with Ethan looking
like
some scrub. I need to look like a princess for him." Theresa exclaimed
she
was so excited she got only 4 hours of sleep that night, she was too
busy
thinking about her date with Ethan.
"Ok, whatever Theresa. You still haven't told Luis your going out with
Ethan. I don't care what you say about him liking Sheridan. He still
hates
Ethan. If he finds out you went out with him. He is going to be so
mad at
you." Whitney was always worrying for her friend Theresa.
"Whitney you worry too much!" was all Theresa said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Pilar, thank you so much for helping me get ready for my date. I
know I
said some pretty bad things about Luis earlier this month. BUt now
I realize
you were right. He is a pretty great guy." Sheridan said.
Pilar was helping Sheridan get ready for her date. She didn't mind at
all.
"Sheridan, There's nobody else I would want more, that for you to go
out
with Luis. I know your a great woman. You two are perfectly matched.
I am
happy to help you, anytime. You know that."
"Pilar, I know. I am just so excited right now, I feel like jumping
out of
this chair and screaming"
"Well can you please hold that off, until i've finished your hair, There,
its done!"
Sheridan arose from her chair and looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh
Pilar, you did such a wonderful job! Thank you so much!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
7:30pm:
:Knock Knock: Ethan waited outside the Lopez-Fitzgerald house. Theresa
opened
the door.
"Wow, Theresa, you look absolutely stunning. Here these are for you."
he
handed her a fresh bouquet of white roses.
"Ethan, Thank you so much. You look so handsome as always." Theresa
said and
walked inside to put the flowers in a vase and headed out the door
with
Ethan. Once the door was shut, and they were walking down the
walkway,
Ethan leaned over and kissed Theresa. It lingered.
"Sorry, I just couldn't wait to do that." He apologized.
"No need for an apology. Anytime Ethan, Anytime!" They both laughed
and
drove away in Ethan's car.
At the restaurant, where they had a table waiting. They sat and ordered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sheridan, geesh, you look absolutely wonderful!" Luis's eyes were
almost
hanging out of the sockets.
"Well thank you officer Fitzgerald, you look great also." They
kissed and
went on there way to the restaurant.
They went to there table where they had a reservation as well. Not knowing
that Ethan and Theresa were a right across the way.
Luis ordered the steak tips, and Sheridan had ordered the marinated Chicken.
Both dinners were going extraordinarily well with there occasional
touches, and the laughing, the few kisses that were passed from across
the
table.
Suddenly Luis looked across the aisle to see a couple laughing heartily
at
each other. He soon realized that was his sister and...who was that
with
her. ETHAN CRANE!! 'no way!' he thought.
"Theresa, what are you doing here with him!?" Luis said rather loudly
to his
sister. Making a fairly decent scene among the crowd.
'Oh no' Theresa though.
'oh geesh' Ethan's head said to him.
"Luis, c'mon, stop it." was Sheridan's gesture.
To Be Cont.......
