True Love Waits

After the waiter left, Sheffield winked at Evelyn. "Do you know what I ordered?"

Evelyn looked at him suspiciously. "You can choose not to tell me. I'm not interested." As long as it was edible, it was fine by her.

"The goat's pizzle in this place is good," Sheffield told her.

'The goat's pizzle?" "What's that?" 'Is it kidney?' she wondered to herself.

Sheffield smiled slyly and said, "You'll know when it's served!" He opened a can of beer and put it in front of her. "Don't drink too much."

Evelyn picked up the can of beer and took a sip. "Do you often come here?" she asked.

"Not really."

"Then how do you know this place?" Even though she had lived in Y City for more than twenty years, she didn't know the existence of this place.

"My friend brought me here first. I liked the food, so I brought Joshua here twice afterwards. He liked the food so much we'd often come back here." 'Joshua comes here too? Okay, I see,' she mused.

It took a while before all their orders were served. Luckily, Evelyn had already eaten earlier. When all the dishes had finally been served, she'd already downed her can of beer.

"Have a taste." He took a skewer of grilled meat and neared it toward her lips.

Looking at the strange shape of the food, Evelyn asked, "What kind of meat is this?" There was a hint of unpleasant odor.

"Oh, a piece of mutton!"

"Oh," Evelyn said as she took a small bite.

After she swallowed it, he stifled his smile and asked, "Was it delicious?"

"Not bad. It smells unpleasant but the odor is not very strong in the mouth. But it tastes a little funny..." The taste was very strange.
