True Love Waits

Dollie felt ignored by everyone at the table. Losing her appetite and patience, she whispered to Sheffield, "I'm full. I have classes to attend in the afternoon. Shall we leave?" Sheffield didn't refuse. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth. Feigning a casual look, he said to the other three, "Enjoy your meal. I have to drop Dollie back at school."

"Bye bye, handsome," Terilynn sang playfully with a smile.

Sheffield returned the smile, and then looked at Evelyn. "I got to go. Bye."

Evelyn froze, but she remained silent.

Joshua stood up and told Evelyn, "I'll see them off. Will be back soon."

"Okay," Terilynn replied instead, waving her hand at him.

The three of them left the table together. On their way to Sheffield's car, the men slowed down their pace and walked further away from Dollie. Joshua whispered, "Buddy, I really had no idea who she was or that she was your woman."

"I know." Sheffield could tell.

Joshua had done nothing wrong. If it weren't him, there would have been another man on a blind date with Evelyn.

"Cheer up, man. Don't be so crestfallen. And if you want to win her heart, you should keep your distance from Dollie. If I were Evelyn, I wouldn't choose to date you either if you were with another woman," Joshua said in all earnestness.

"I know what I'm doing," Sheffield nodded.

"All right, just saying. Anyway, you gotta work harder than ever to buy the best gemstone in the world." 'A girl like Evelyn indeed deserves the best,' Joshua thought, remembering their conversation from the other day.

With a sneer on his face, Sheffield muttered, "Let's hope she'll accept it."

Joshua patted him on the shoulder. "She likes you."

"How do you know that?"

Joshua flashed the gloomy doctor a mysterious smile. "Trust me. Now off you go. I need to get back to Evelyn. I'll take care of her for you. Don't worry."

"Fine. But remember, she's mine. Know your boundaries," Sheffield reminded his friend in a serious tone.
