True Love Waits

"Who's that? The fourth guy from the left? How could anyone be so handsome? His voice is so pretty! Who is he?"

"Don't even be talking about my husband. He's mine!"

"Is the girl next to him his girlfriend? No! I'm gonna cry!"

"Oh my God! He's so handsome! I'm so in love!"

"I don't care if he's gorgeous; I just want his number. I want to buy him a Lambo, a Ferrari, a Rolls Royce and a Bentley too. Anyone have his number?"

The song hadn't even finished playing, and yet there were more than 500 comments already.

Evelyn didn't care about all that. She wasn't seeing the same thing everyone else was. All she could see was the girl next to Sheffield-it was Dollie. While Sheffield sang, Dollie fixed her eyes on him, as if he was the center of her attention.

Scrolling through all the comments, including the ones that were only hearts, Terilynn turned to her sister. "Sheffield's so amazing! You think Dollie is really his girlfriend? Maybe she is. Wherever he goes, she'll be there with him."

"I don't know." Evelyn stared at the pen in her hand, deep in thought.

"You know something, Eve? One day I saw Sheffield and Joshua kissing and laughing together, but Joshua kept explaining to me that it wasn't what I thought. But they were kissing. Do you think they're an item or not?"

"No!" Evelyn answered firmly.

"How do you know?"

Evelyn lowered her head and looked at the documents on the desk. After a short pause, she found an excuse and answered, "He's a playboy. Men like him don't like men."

"Oh... Joshua said Sheffield never got your number. You two know each other? Why did he want your number?" Terilynn asked Evelyn a lot of questions.

It occurred to Evelyn that Terilynn seemed to be crushing on Sheffield. She reminded her, "I'd stay away from him if I were you. He's a playboy. He'll break your heart."

"I know. He's totally not my type. Don't worry, Eve!"

"Good to know." Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.
