True Love Waits

"You learned that from me, so stop it! Whatever! That's not the point. Joshua, get up! Tell me why my girl has become your girlfriend!" That was why Sheffield was at Joshua's place. Joshua was fully awake now. "It was her idea."

"And you agreed?"

"Yes. Evelyn's really attractive. I finally understood why you couldn't resist her, neither could I. I too want to snuggle up in her arms—"

Sheffield jumped on the bed, pinned him down and rained blows all over his body. "Asshole! Break up with her! Right now!"

"Woah! Stop it. Be careful, man! My grandma will beat you to death with her walking stick!" Joshua whined in pain. That successfully froze Sheffield.

He got goose bumps all over his body as he stole a glance around Joshua's room. "Sorry Grandma, I won't hit him anymore. Please rest in peace and don't come for me," Sheffield murmured. When Joshua's grandmother was still alive, the old lady would always threaten to beat the naughty boys up with her crutch.

Joshua laughed at his friend's reaction and then said, "Don't worry. I'm more interested in the younger sister." He pulled the thin quilt up to his chest and took a cigarette from the night stand. "The younger one? But you're dating Evelyn now. Aren't you afraid that their father will break your leg?"

Sheffield and Joshua were still ignorant of who Evelyn's father was. They had a hunch that he was someone with incredible power; probably some sort of legend.

Sheffield never looked deep into Evelyn's background even after knowing her true identity.

Joshua didn't know because his mother never filled him in about his blind date's family background.

"I'm not afraid. I'll just sit and watch what happens. After you successfully win Evelyn over, I will go after Terilynn." 'You wish.' Sheffield rolled his eyes at Joshua.

He lit a cigarette. Taking a drag, he said, "It's not gonna be as simple as you think. What if Terilynn already has someone she loves?"

Joshua nodded, "She does. Evelyn's bodyguard."

"Are you serious?" Sheffield asked, as he imagined the tough, no-bullshit Tayson falling in love with someone. "So, knowing that she loves another man, you still want her?"

"Do you think I'm no match for a bodyguard?" Joshua cast him a sidelong glance.
