True Love Waits

Evelyn turned to look at the source of the voice. It was none other than Joshua, and the man standing right beside him was Sheffield, hands in his pockets. Peterson waved at them and said, "Sheffield, Joshua! Get over here. I'd like you to meet Miss Huo."

The two young men just stood there. "You sure that he doesn't know about you and Evelyn?" Joshua asked his buddy in a low voice.

"Yeah, he knows," replied Sheffield, staring at Evelyn.

'He knows everything about me. He's just pretending not to. I've been around Evelyn a lot. There's no way he couldn't know,' he thought to himself.

"Okay. So we just roll with it!" 'That's what I figured!' Joshua thought. 'There were a lot of people on Uncle Peterson's payroll. And some of them were sent to spy on Sheffield. And it's not like Evelyn and Sheffield were trying to hide their relationship. Yeah, Uncle Peterson knows all about it.'

Sheffield tilted his head. "Give me your glass!"

"What?" Joshua was about to head over to greet Peterson when he heard Sheffield's sudden request. He was taken aback.

"Your glass of red wine. Give it to me," he repeated.

Joshua took a glance at the contents of his glass. He'd already drunk some of it. "No way, dude. Flag down a waiter. What? You haven't become a complete lush on me, have you?"

Not in the mood to trade quips with his friend, Sheffield stopped a passing waiter and grabbed a glass of red wine from the tray. Then he started walking toward Peterson and Evelyn.

Joshua positioned himself in front of Peterson. This way, Sheffield had no choice but to confront Evelyn. Joshua wanted to see how the two were going to react.

Sheffield didn't let Joshua down. He took advantage of the situation and was near Evelyn. When he saw this, Joshua thought his friend was still not close enough to Evelyn, so he crowded Sheffield. Sheffield, his space invaded, instinctively moved closer to the love of his life.

The two buddies exchanged knowing looks. They gave each other a thumbs-up in their hearts.
