True Love Waits

"Why would your car suddenly flip?" Evelyn hit the nail on the head. Sheffield was an expert racer. An accident was out of the question. Her query surprised the men.

Joshua's admiration for Evelyn went up a notch. If it were any other woman, she would have gotten jealous after knowing that her man had gotten injured trying to save some girl. She would have jumped to conclusions and bombarded the man with questions about this new girl.

But Evelyn wasn't bothered at all.

Sheffield wasn't sure how to react to her indifference. He wanted his girlfriend to be a little jealous; that would mean that she cared for him. But, this was Evelyn Huo. He sighed. "Someone sabotaged my race car."

"Who was it?" she asked, meeting his eyes.

He smiled. "I can guess, but I don't have any proof yet." He had to investigate the incident first.

After a short pause, she asked, "Will you stop racing from now on?"

"Babe, can we please change the subject?" Sheffield begged. He loved racing. Staying away from the track would make him feel dead inside.

Joshua poked Sheffield's bandaged arm.

"Aw!" Sheffield yelled as he tried to kick Joshua off the bed. "Are you trying to kill me?"

Joshua jumped off the bed, grinning from ear to ear. He arched an eyebrow and said, "You deserve it. Evelyn is my girlfriend, and yet you call her 'babe' right in front of me. How dare you!"

Evelyn pinched her arching brows and thought, 'No wonder these two are best friends. Both of them are childish!'

"Fuck off! I don't need you here anymore. I want to talk to MY girlfriend alone. Get out!" Sheffield barked.
