Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Wayne looked a little upset.

The atmosphere between them was very cozy. However, Anna felt a shiver running down her spine shortly after Wayne asked this question.

Anna’s hand stopped, and the fork in her hand suspended in the air. She frowned at Wayne and said, “I already told you that person is just my friend. What’s the matter?”

Wayne’s tone softened a little, but he maintained his serious demeanor. He continued to ask, “Tell me, what’s the name of that person? Is he a man or a woman? I want to know about your friend.”

Anna looked at Wayne in confusion and then said seriously as she pretended to be joking, “Oh, no, you don’t know him. What’s the matter, Wayne? Are you jealous? I just had a phone call with my friend.”

Wayne silently clinched his hand into a fist beneath the dining table as he thought that Anna’s nonchalant attitude made him look like a fool. They were sitting so close, and he was so close to the truth. They were, however, concealing something from each other.

Wayne finally decided to back off. He pulled out his chair, sat down, and then said calmly, “I’m sorry, Anna, I simply wanted to know whether you have any friends other than Peace.”

Anna smiled and said frankly, “Oh, you know, I don’t have many friends. When I was in America, Peace was my only friend. The person who just called me is Jasper Thomas. He and I both went to the same college in Birmingham, but he was many years older than me. He started his business when I first arrived in the US, but he didn’t have any money. To be honest, I was pretty well off back then. Once I found out that he and I had gone to the same college, I helped him out.”

So, Anna and Jasper used to go through hard times together. Wayne thought to himself.

Wayne became increasingly depressed as he listened to Anna’s story. And he was having difficulty breathing.

After a few words, Anna finished recounting how she and Jasper met. She did, however, keep one important fact from him: they had been married.

“Hey, I think the fish you made tastes pretty good. But, you know, you can do better than that!” Anna complimented him, then ate another piece of cod.

After that, she said, “Hey, try some. But I still want to give you some advice.”

The white cod on the plate was covered in a brown sauce, which made it look quite appealing. Wayne wasn’t in the mood to eat, but he felt compelled to do so because Anna was staring at him with expectation. He then took a very large bite because he was still a little upset.

“Well?” Anna asked Wayne.
