True Love Waits

Evelyn was quite surprised and she wondered, 'What is Sheffield doing here? And why did he run away when he saw me? Is he mad at me?

But the expression on his face didn't look like he was angry at all.'

Evelyn walked into the ladies' room, still tangled up in her thoughts.

Just as she turned a corner and was about to go into a stall, someone grabbed her hand from behind. Somehow the man knew how she was going to react, so he stretched out his other hand and quickly covered her mouth before she could scream. "It's me!"

Sheffield pulled her into the cubicle and locked the door, lovingly wrapping his arms around her waist.

Evelyn heaved a long sigh of relief because she thought that he was angry and was trying to avoid her. However, it turned out to be another one of his tricks. He was just secretly waiting for her to walk into the bathroom.

"It's quite bold of you to walk into the ladies' room like that. Aren't you afraid that I am going to cry out for help and get you kicked out for being a pervert?" Evelyn glared at him angrily, but she lowered her voice to avoid being heard by someone else.

With a playful smile, Sheffield gave her a kiss on the cheek and said, "You wouldn't do that."

Evelyn rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you here?"

"I was just passing by!" Sheffield came in right away when he saw Evelyn. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to find the person he was looking for after just a few minutes of looking around the floor. Nonetheless, Evelyn found it difficult to believe his words. "Don't you have a fever? Have you already recovered?"

Sheffield giggled, having understood what she was insinuating, and he decided to come clean. "To be honest, I didn't have a fever, I was just feeling feverish. Perhaps I was hot to trot!"

Evelyn's face went red in an instant. She wanted to hit him, but the man had her pressed up against the wall like a helpless prey. "Let go of me first!"

"Okay, but..." Sheffield's words faded and he sounded sad. "My woman is having dinner with another man. To make it up to me, tonight, either you will go home with me or I will go with you." He was always good at finding an excuse to sleep with her. Evelyn's heart softened. "Of course, you can come with me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Finish your dinner quickly! I don't want you to be with another man for too long." Sheffield would have gladly dragged Evelyn out if Debbie and Carlos weren't there. "Okay... Shh! I can hear someone talking outside!" Evelyn covered his mouth, all of a sudden.
