Love Story6 - Chapter 7
I was taken aback for a moment: "Wasn't there always a girl by your side in college? I think you two were childhood sweethearts who grew up together."
"You mean Cordelia Fairchild?" Darius chuckled, "We did grow up together, that's true, but I never dated her. I didn't like her that way, at most I saw her as a sister."
"Then you haven't dated anyone all these years?"
Darius slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves: "I've been set up on some blind dates, had brief encounters, but when it wasn't suitable, we parted ways."
"Oh.. so there hasn't been anyone since then?"
I lowered my eyes, thinking of his initial performance that night.
It seemed the credibility of his words had increased several fold.
"Everly, I won't do it again next time."
Darius's sudden statement left me confused: "Won't do what again?"
He turned his face away, coughing lightly, his ears turning alarmingly red.
"You'll know later."
It wasn't until after dinner when he carried me back to the hotel room from the bathroom.
