Title of Story: "Because There is Someone Like You Ch. 2"
Author: PiNaYrAcH1434@aol.com

She drove back to the building to get her paycheck after she finished her work for Mrs. Crane. She was so steamed up about what happened between him and that guy, "Andrew", that she had forgotten all about her paycheck. This whole week she was trying to reach him, but his secretary said that he wasn't there. Her next stop was her job at the hospital.

As she was about to leave, she saw "Andrew". She followed him to his office like a prey waiting to attack its victim. He didn't notice at first but he soon realized it. Once he did, he began to walk away which just made Theresa even angrier. Ethan opened a door and went in. Theresa went in seconds after. "Hey, Andrew Winthdrop!" she called out.

"Yes," he answered calmly.

"Andrew Winthdrop, how dare you try and walk away from this?" She holds up an envelope that she just happened to have.

"Yes? Is there a problem miss?" he questioned.

"Yea, actually there is. You see this?" still holding up the envelope, "I got this from your insurance company yesterday."

"I only filed a claim concerning the accident."

"Yea, and it's claiming me! I am not going to pay for the damages because it wasn't my fault! You know that I had the right of way! Don't you remember, I was backing up and you kept going straight? Remember, I was going this way and you were still going straight." She tried to make hand gestures of what happened that day of the accident. "If you weren't so stupid and a half, you would've known that I was backing up! And just because I'm a woman don't you dare think that you can get away with this so easily. There's nowhere in hell that I'm going let anyone treat me like this! Not you or any on else!"

"Okay, then I guess the insurance company got it all wrong. I'll drop the charges."

"That's right, you better just do that!" There came a short pause between the two and the men in the bathroom. She began looking around and had just brought about that she was in the men's restroom and that they were all looking at her. "Tell them…" her voice quivered as she was looking down at the floor. "Tell them that I didn't mean to go in here. I thought that this was your office! I only came here because of you!" Ethan gave a little snicker. "Will that be all, Ms-?" he smiled. "Yea, that would be all. Thank you. Please, continue." When she had turned around to walk away, she bumps into a wall. "Ow!" She cried to herself. Everyone in the restroom gave a little snicker. She grabbed her long black hair to cover her red face from embarrassment.

"I was actually hoping for a name," Ethan whispered to himself.

Back in New York, Ethan had gone back to double check the wedding plans. It was just about two days since that incident in the bathroom. They entered a shop around the corner of Fifth Avenue to buy the dresses and order the food for the wedding. "You seem so tense, Ethan," said Gwen.

"Yea, well that's what happens if you have encounters with a psychopath," replied Ethan.

"Oh, dear, what happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Ethan! Gwen!" A man greeted the two couple. "Welcome! Would you like some coffee?"

"No, thanks," replied Gwen politely.

"Uh-uh."

"So what do you think Gwen? How do you want your wedding dress to be like?"

"Uumm…I haven't really decided yet. I was hoping that you can help me."

"I was thinking a cream dress with a dash of lavender roses as your bouquet, can you just imagine? And your hair could be shaped like a bird cage-"

"I want it simple," replied Ethan.

"Yes, yes, simple. That's just what I was going for."

It was late night in Harmony. Theresa had packed her things for tomorrow's event. She was to be invited to stay with Ivy Crane and Ethan whom she hasn't supposedly met. It was to be a formal banquet for a charity. Theresa had just left for home.

"Pilar!" Ethan exclaimed while hugging her.

"Ethan!" Pilar said with excitement. "How are things with you and Gwen?"

"Fine, just fine. And you?"

"Don't worry about little old me."

"Why shouldn't I be worried?"

"No reason," smiled Pilar.

"I'm here to see your daughter. We're suppose to go to the banquet tomorrow and I wanted to go over a few things with her since, well, she's not experienced with this sort of things. Where is she by the way?"

"Oh, you just missed her. It's really too bad. She wanted to meet you to."

"Like wise," he paused, "Pilar, your daughter knows the people in this town pretty well, right?" Pilar looked worried for while because of Ethan's tone of voice, but it soon past.

"Umm, yes. She's lived here for almost all her life, so I'm sure she knows the people here pretty well.

"Oh, okay. Thanks Pilar. We'll talk more tomorrow." "Is there anything the matter Mr. Crane?"

"Oh no, nothing at all."

"Well, it's still good to see you. I'm so glad you're back." Pilar gave another hug to Ethan before she left.

"Yeah…me to." He tried to give a smile.

It was a bright Sunday morning. She was running late so she went to the Crane Mansion right after church. The servants greeted her as usual, and her mom.

"Where can I get my things for tonight mama?"

"How many times do I have to tell you to watch for your things. Your things are in Ethan's room."

"I'm sorry mom, I just…forgot."

"Hmm, well just don't make a habit of it Theresa."

"I won't mama," she replied.

Theresa ran up the stairs like a kid who was waiting on Christmas Day to open her present. It was her first real formal place to be in considering her class. The banquet was to be held at the Sea Scape. It was known as the most popular and expensive restaurant on the town. She was so excited about this night because she believes that tonight would change everything for her for good.

"Is anyone here?" she called.

"Oh, no. I forgot to tell Theresa that Ethan is home. Oh, well. They'll I'm sure that they'll get along just fine." No one seemed to have answered so she went in. She went to make sure that the doors were locked, but there was one that was already locked from the inside so that didn't really bother her as much. Right when she was unzipping her dress, Ethan walks in. He had just come out of the shower wet.

"YOU!" they both call out at the same time. Ethan so shocked that when he tried to approach her, he slipped and fell headfirst to the ground. He tried to get up as soon as possible trying to cover up his pain.
