Chapter Ten
	When Teresa bounded back into her apartment she was carrying more flowers. She set them on the table then sunk dreamily into her bed.. It took her a minute or so to realize J had not been on the couch and was no longer there. She shrugged, "Must've headed on home"                                             *~*~*~*~*                                               The Next Day   J had laid awake all night. He couldn't sleep. He wanted to go find Maxamillion and beat him down. He was a jerk. A spotlight lovin, girl using jerk. But what about Teresa? How could she just go out with him after what he did to her? J couldn't be mad at Teresa though. Sure , J really did hate Maxamillion for what he did to Teresa-and didn't care too much for him before, but there was more to it than that. There was a bigger reason for not wanting Teresa with Maxamillion-because J wanted Teresa with him. At 10:00 am when J had finally given up on the thought of sleep he jumped up and dressed quickly. Next thing you know, he was in his car, driving to the place he had last come from.    Yawning and rubbing her eyes, Teresa slid off her bed and stumbled into her living room. It was not even 10:00 am yet. I've got to work on how to sleep in she thought to herself. Loud voices blasted from the TV as Teresa turned it on. "Ahh, too loud!" she exclaimed as she frantically jabbed at the volume down button. Just as she'd found a good channel and gotten nice and comfy on the floor she heard the thump of a newspaper landing on her doormat outside the door. "Grr!" she said aloud as she forced herself up and to the door. Irritably swiping the newspaper from the floor she looked down the hallway, as if, if she saw the person who dropped it there, she'd go and give them a piece of her mind. She moaned at the site of the front page. There was a large picture of her, then next to it one of J. "Aww maann. When will the press leave me alone? Ah well, at least it's not pictures of me and Maxamillion" She felt a lot less easy going as she read the article which she hadnt at-first realized was titled "Buy Her Happiness" it was all about how on several accounts it had been speculated that J Brown was using Teresa. The article mentioned how J had been seen going into Teresa's flat at night, but not leaving until the next morning-wearing the same clothes. It even provided pictures. As Teresa read on, through all the examples pointing towards the theory of J using her for publicity she began to get angry. "He is using me! No wonder he forced me to go to that premiere and is always pushing me to go out in public with him. Helping me get over Maxamillion my ass!" Just then, there was a knock on the door. Still holding the paper, Teresa opened it. "Speak of the devil" she growled. J, who was standing in the doorway raised his eyebrows. 'Huh? No nevermind. I have to say this now or I'll back out. Rease I really-"    "Need me for promotion purposes?" Teresa cut in angrily.    "What? No I-"    "Save it. I thoght we were friends! Just go"    "But Teresa I don't know what you're talking about I.."    "Give me a break" she looked down at the paper in her hand, "here's the update" with that, she tossed the paper at his chest and slammed the door. J knocked on it, "Teresa, what are you going on about?" Turning the lock, Teresa yelled back, "J if you don't leave the building I'm calling secrurity!"    Defeated and still holding the unread paper that would've explained the outburst, J dragged himslef back to his car.
