True Love Waits

"I'm relieved to know that. I thought the whole world knew about it. That would have been too embarrassing." Terilynn covered her face with both hands in embarrassment.

Joshua felt sorry for her. Although she was upset, she still pretended not to care. "You know what? You are an amazing woman. It doesn't matter if he doesn't like you. You will meet someone more suitable for you." 'Like me, for example.'

"Thank you. I don't want to talk about him right now."

"Okay, let's not. Do you have classes this afternoon?" He was elated to know that she was single.

"Yes, I have been really busy with my studies lately."

"Do you already have plans for the future?"

"Hmm... I will study further to get my doctorate, and then become a lawyer," she replied after a short pause.

"Have you ever considered being a court judge?" Maybe she could work in the same institution he did.

"I haven't given that much thought. I'm sort of like my mother. I am not fit to be a judge." She was easy-going and free-spirited, and had never been a stately person.

Joshua nodded thoughtfully. "Being a lawyer is awesome. Keep going. I have faith in you."

"Thank you," she said with a soft smile.

After lunch, Joshua drove her to Y City University and didn't leave until she disappeared from his sight.

He had gained all that information from her about Evelyn for Sheffield.

That night, he went to see his best friend. "So, your sister-in-law said that Evelyn has a cute nickname. Her mom calls her Piggy!" He didn't think it was funny when Terilynn had said it. But now, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

But he swore to himself that he would never make fun of Evelyn. He just thought the name was incredibly funny. Sheffield smiled too when he heard the nickname. He thought it was lovely.

He laughed for a while, and then gave a good beating to Joshua. "How dare you laugh at my woman! Fuck off!" Joshua punched him back playfully and said, "I'm laughing at my girlfriend! It's none of your business." Sheffield declared, "You have one day to break up with her. Otherwise, I will carve your heart out with my scalpel." "I better dump her quickly then. But it doesn't feel right, you know. I think I should wait for her to dump me."
