True Love Waits

Sheffield only paused for a moment. That was all. Holding Evelyn's cold hands tightly, he pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her hair. "Anything else?" he asked in a soft voice. "Isn't that enough?" she asked in reply.

The man smiled. "Not nearly enough to scare me away from you."

He looked into her startled eyes. She had gone through so much pain in her life. No wonder she hardly smiled.

But now, he was with her. And he intended to be by her side and share all her woes.

Evelyn didn't know how to respond. She smiled weakly and asked, "Has anyone told you how stupid you are, Sheffield?"

"Yes," he chuckled. "You."

Evelyn scoffed. "Everybody else thinks otherwise?"

"Yes, obviously. I'm actually pretty smart, you know."

"Could you be any more condescending?" Evelyn had to try her best not to roll her eyes at him. Sheffield had earlier said that her father was just envious of his good looks, and now, he was bragging about how smart he was. This man had no limits to his self-admiration.

"I am just really confident about myself, babe. That's how you should face everything in life-boldly and without any doubts." Sheffield released her and put his arm around her shoulder. They walked towards the car together.

"Where do you get these ideas from?" she asked.

"It is Master Tang's motto in life. You're welcome. And remember to tell the others who said it when you quote Master Tang in the future."

Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. She shook off his arm and glared at him with a smile. "Stay away from me, Master Tang."

Ignoring her, he threw himself into her arms and gave her a bear hug. "I don't want to."

Feeling his weight, Evelyn sighed, "Ugh! You are such a kid!"

"Haven't you heard, Evelyn?"

"What?"
