The Trials of Love

New Information

Sheva and her father arrived at the small amusement park after a 20 minute drive of catching up. They got out of the car and made their way in.

After paying to get in they rode almost all of the rides in the park except the ones Sheva was afraid to go on. They went to the arcade and won a bunch of prizes, Jared even won Sheva a giant stuffed panda that stood as tall as her waist. Sheva couldn't remember a time she had this much fun with her father before he left.

When they left the arcade they bought funnel cakes and sodas. While they were eating they talked then Jared brought up a question that ruined the moment and changed the topic of everything.

"So how do you like Clyde?" Jared asked suspiciously, as he watched her expression change.

"He's cool, I guess..." Sheva told him quickly and simply then took a sip from her coke.

"What about Nia?"Jared asked in the same tone.

"...What about Nia?" Sheva asked as she took a quick break from drinking.

"How do you like her?"

"She's fine I guess. Why are you asking me this all of the sudden?" Sheva asked with concern in her voice.

"Well, because I found a woman who I think I want to settle down with soon. Her name is Dalila, she's a great woman and she has a son named Joshua, well he likes to be call Josh for short, he is 18 but such a nice young man." Jared finished with a smile.

"How long have you two been going out?" was all Sheva asked.

"For a few months now, but I knew her for about 3 or 4 years now..." he simply told her. He was very surprised how well she was taking all of it.

"Oh, do you have a picture of her... well them?"

"Yes I do." Jared told her as he pulled out his phone and pulled up a picture of the two and showed it to Sheva.

Sheva took the phone and observed the picture of a woman in a long blue dress with her hand on the shoulder of a young man in a blue dress shirt. Both were happily smiling at the camera.

Dalila was a tall, dark skinned, beautiful woman with long curly hair that looked like it went to her lower back. Her eyes were a beautiful blue that reminded Sheva of the ocean and the necklace she wore brought them out. She was very beautiful to say the least.

Sheva then observed the handsome young man. He had a lot of his mother's features except for her eyes; his were a nice dark brown. His hair was cut short and if fit him perfectly.

"They look lovely..." Sheva observed.

"Yeah, I told them all about you and they can't wait to talk to you. You're taking this a lot better than I thought you would." Jared told her.

"As long as they were not the reason you and mom broke up then I'm okay with it. I can tell how happy they make you." Sheva smiled then handed the phone back to him.

"I can assure you they had nothing to do with it." Jared said with a smile. Sheva smiled back and nodded with understanding. Just then Sheva's phone started to vibrate in her pocket. She pulled it out of her phone and answered it without even looking to see who it was.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sheva Bear." She immediately knew it was Chris.

"Oh, hi Chrissy-Poo!" She greeted with a giggle.

"Oh no, not again..." Chris chuckled then continued "did you get the message I sent you, it's my new car."

"Oh my gosh Chris, I am so sorry. I will look at it now if you want?"
