True Love Waits

Sheffield was always trying to get closer to her. Evelyn wasn't about to drop her guard.

"Evelina," Sheffield paused and muttered. "What a pretty name."

Then he started singing. "Like a lonely meteor traveling a light year, shooting across the vast, dark sky, in tireless pursuit... Who could change a heart committed for eternity? After the ups and downs, will you still love me..."

Evelyn listened as he sang. The look in her eyes, like the feelings in her heart, was complicated.

Sheffield was the first person to ever sing for her, other than her parents, of course.

He was also the first person who helped her apply bug spray. Although she had grown up surrounded by servants and bodyguards, Evelyn was always a do-it-herself kind of girl.

What she didn't know was that this was the first time Sheffield had ever sung for a girl he liked.

He had finished applying the spray, but he was still singing. He stopped singing and asked her with a smile, "You ever heard that one?"

Evelyn shook her head. She only listened to her mom's songs. She was somewhat sheltered.

Slowly, he released her foot. Then he lifted his own foot and put it on the seat in front of him to spray himself. "It's called Evelina. You like how I sing? I don't suck, huh?" He looked at her expectantly.

Evelyn blushed a little under his gaze. She looked down and pretended to dust her pants. "Sort of. You're not as good as my mom."

In truth, Sheffield was a natural singer with an expressive voice and a handsome face.

But Evelyn wasn't going to tell him that.

"Your mom? What singers does she like?" Sheffield asked, still busy applying the repellent to himself.

Despite being flattered all the time, he could deal with a setback or two.
