"Ethan?"

"Huh?.Theresa?..I'm sorry..I sorta blanked out there."

"You were really in deep thought. What were you thinking about?"

"Um, nothing."

"Okay Ethan."

Theresa got more under the tree to get out of the rainfall. She closed her eyes. Ethan stared at her.

'What am I doing. I engaged. I am engaged to my future wife. Gwen. My childhood sweetheart. Why are these images of me and Theresa still in my head. I can't take it!!', he thought in his mind.

He suddenly got up and ran out in the rain.

"Ethan!!"

Theresa got up and ran after him. She found him sitting on a rock on the beach side. She walked towards him as he turned around.

"Theresa. I can't take this. I have to leave."

"Ethan. I know but it's dark outside and we can't leave yet."

"No Theresa. I need to leave now.", he said as images of his flack backs popped in his mind.

"Ethan calm down. We will ge---"

"I can't calm down. It's because of you!! Your all I can think about. Why? I am engaged to Gwen but I can't stop thinking about you. It's like you have a spell on me."

"I..Eth..I have to go".

She ran back to the tree, leaving Ethan there stunned by what he had just blurted out.
"Dammit!..Theresa!!!", he called as he ran after her.

He found her, crying, on a rock near the tree. He took off his jacket to cover her from getting more wet, but she pushed him away. She stood up, turned to Ethan and looked at him.

"How could you. I have tried to move on like you said and now this. You are messing me up. It's either you love me or you don't."

"Theresa....I...I love you. I always will. But I am marring Gwen."

"Ethan. How can you say that? You love me but you are marring Gwen. I always believed fate will bring us together. But with what you keep saying....fate is losing it's touch."

"Theresa how can you be saying that. You move on. You just forget about me. Like I said to."

"You can't do this to me. I love you Ethan. I love you still. Still with all my heart."

Ethan stopped what he was about to say.

"Theresa"

He kissed her. Kissed her with such a passion. Like on the wharf.

They were still kissing for about 10 mins.

"Ethan what was that for?"

"I love you Theresa. I love you."

"I love you too. But you are marring Gwe--"

"I don't care. I'm head over heels for you. I want to marry you. I love you so much."

He picked her up and carried her to the tree.
