True Love Waits

Evelyn closed the door behind her and walked up to the man who sat very comfortably on the couch, with one leg resting on top of the other. "I've been worried about you lately," she said, standing across him. Sheffield took another sip from his glass. "Oh! Thank you for your concern, Miss Huo." His words were dripping with sarcasm.

His haughtiness triggered Evelyn's anger. She snapped at him, gritting her teeth in anger, "Since you don't want to talk to me, then there's no point to this. We're done! I will no longer interfere with your life from now on!"

Evelyn turned around on her heel and started walking towards the door.

Just as she had taken a few steps, Sheffield sprang up to his feet and wrapped his arms around her waist. Grinning from ear to ear, he said, "Evelyn, I was just kidding."

"Kidding?" Evelyn turned around to look at him, who had changed his face faster than the speed of light.

"Yes!" Sheffield nodded and cocked his head to the side, giving the effect of rakishness. "How could it be possible that I don't want to talk to you?"

Evelyn's face settled back into her emotionless, cold expression, and she stepped forward, forcing Sheffield to take a step back. "What did you call Dollie? Baby? Huh?"

"No, no, no. You must have misheard me. Why would I call her 'baby'?" If he had known things would go this way, he wouldn't have treated Evelyn like that.

"Oh, so I must have misheard you?" Evelyn took another step forward, Sheffield responded aptly with another step backwards. "I can hear just fine. I heard you call her 'baby.' How dare you invite her to a threesome with me? Since you think that I would be into something like that, we should just break up now!"

Having run out of space to retreat to, Sheffield fell on the sofa, but he kept smiling at his queen. "You've misunderstood me. I was just joking!" He realized what a big mistake he had made by teasing Evelyn like that.

Evelyn squeezed his cheeks harder and harder.

Before long, the pitiful expression on his face changed to a bitter one. "Evelyn, sweetie... please..."

"I just wanted to have a word with you, but I can see that you're very busy. It must be a lot of fun being surrounded by all these women."

"No, not at all," he replied meekly, eyes lowered to the floor. As his face was still in Evelyn's hands, he had no choice but to give in.
