True Love Waits

"You know I'm crazy for you. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Don't you trust me? Did you think I'd run away? I'm not like that. Evelyn, you must have been scared. Scared and hurting. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you. I wish I could have taken your pain. Please forgive me...

"

Sheffield whispered softly over her head. Evelyn couldn't hold back her tears anymore, letting them flow freely down her cheeks.

How could others think Sheffield wasn't worthy of her? He was a wonderful guy, loving her with all his heart and soul. Evelyn thought she wasn't worthy of him.

"I know I probably seem childish sometimes. And maybe Calvert acts a lot more mature than me. And you like that. I promise I'll be mature. I won't act like a kid anymore, okay?" He held her hand tightly and added affectionately, "Evelyn, I'll never give up on you. You're the only one I love."

Hot tears slid down her cheeks, and finally on Sheffield's hands.

One drop, then two, and more...

Sheffield sensed something was going on with her. He lifted her head and found she was crying.

Her face was covered in tears, which made his heart ache.

He immediately panicked and regained some sobriety. "Why are you crying, Eve? What did I do? Did I say something wrong? Evelyn, don't cry. I'll shut up if you want."

He lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears on her face, his lips caressing her eyelids, her cheeks, her lips. Evelyn cradled his neck and kissed him back.

The apartment fell quiet. The only sound that could be heard was them breathing.

A moment later, he pinned her onto the sofa, her long hair cascading down the side of the sofa.
