He sighed, feeling defeated.
“ALL right. Let's go and get you a lollipop."
To her surprise, he really did take her to a supermarket.
He grabbed a lollipop from the candy shelf and asked her, “Which flavor? Strawberry? Coconut? Do you like blueberry? What about mango?"
Evelyn looked at the candy aisle and then at the two kids near her.
"I don't want any of them."
"No, you must get one. You'll love it, trust me."
“Eating candies will destroy my teeth!" she argued.
“One Lollipop won't damage your teeth! Listen to the doctor!" he said, pointing smugly at himself.
"You Like mango, right?" He grabbed the whole box and led her to the cashier's counter.
“Didn't you say you were gonna buy one?"
“I said you should eat one," he corrected her.
“Then, why did you buy the whole box?"
“The rest is for me."
“The whole box?" He nodded with a naughty grin and she scoffed. He was not only coaxing her as a child, but pampered himself too.
As they stood in line to pay the bill, Sheffield picked up a box of condoms and asked Evelyn casually, “How about we go for this brand tonight?"
Besides the cashier, there were three other people around them. They stared at the box in his hand. Evelyn's face burned with embarrassment as she glared at him. She knew that he was doing it on purpose. She grabbed the box from his hand and put it back where it was.
"Shut up
“What? You don't want it?" he asked innocently. Then, he leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to know what it's Like without the condom?"
Evelyn pushed him towards the cashier's desk and demanded, "Pay the damn bill."
“Okay, okay!" He took out his wallet and asked Evelyn to wait for him outside while he cleared the bill.
She nodded and left the scene gratefully. The moment she left, he stepped back from the counter and grabbed three boxes before paying the bill.
When he walked out of the supermarket, his coat pockets were stuffed and had a huge bulge. Evelyn touched the pockets curiously and asked
“What's in there?"
As he unwrapped a lollipop for her, he replied, "Something that is gonna make me a happy man."
