Way Back Into Love (Essie)

She turned around and saw Jim walking out of the yard with a plate in his hand. On the plate lay a lobster. The bright red color seemed to be waving at her warmly.

She drooled.

Jim didn't eat immediately. As soon as he entered the house, another delicious dish was served.

Wow, it was a big pineapple, filled with ham with the fragrance of meat.

Eva kept sucking, smelling the fragrance to stop her desire.

Seeing the undisguised greedy look on her face, Jim smiled mischievously and said, "Heaven pepper, I have cooked a lot for dinner. Would you like to come over and have some?"

The woman on the other side didn't answer. When he was about to see if the woman was fainted because of her desire to eat, a voice came from the side, "Scum Jim, since we are so familiar with each other, then I won't be refuse."

When Jim turned around, he saw a woman sitting on a chair. She rushed over at a speed close to the ultra sound.

Jim smiled. It was really easy to satisfy a foodie.

Eva cut a lobster and put it into her mouth.

Oh, God! It's so delicious that she wanted to scream!

Then she ate a spoonful of pineapple ham.

It was unbelievably delicious!

Jim knew that she was really hungry. She hadn't eaten well in the past two months.

She wolfed down the food as if she had forgotten all the pain and sadness, and her face was full of satisfaction.

In the end, she licked all the soup residue on the plate, and then touched her round belly and sighed, "It's so delicious. I'm really full."

Jim looked at her belly and said, "Heaven pepper, have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? Is it true that you have a baby?"

Eva was choked by his words. "Yes, I have seen it, the doctor prescribed some pill."

Jim didn't know much about this kind of gynecological stuff, but from the name, it should be used for prevention of miscarriage. It seemed that he had to prepare more dishes in the future. The baby of a foodie must be a foodie, and the appetite of two foodies should be doubled.

After dinner, the two sat on the carpet to play Monopoly.

"Heaven pepper, I didn't expect you to like such a childish game," Jim sneered.

"Don't say it is so childish. Maybe you won't be able to defeat me." Eva glared at him.

"Have you ever defeated me in anything?" Jim raised his eyebrows proudly.

Looking at him, Eva couldn't help recalling what he had said when he was drunk that day. "I won everything, but lost my heart to you." The more she listened, the more she felt that the heroine in his script was like her?

Damn it!

Illusion, illusion!

It was impossible. The stars in the sky would never like the gorilla on the ground.

She shook her head hard.

"What are you doing? Are you lost in some wonderland while daydreaming at this moment?" Jim sneered.

"No, I didn't." Eva's face turned a little red. Fortunately, the light concealed everything. After a short silence, she lowered her voice slightly. "Scum Jim, you told me a secret after you got drunk that day." "Formalize it," before she finished her words, Jim gave orders quickly.

"You don't ask what secret it is?" Eva pouted.

"Do you know how to say the words 'murder to keep your mouth shut'?" Jim suddenly leaned over, his handsome face almost touching hers. She stepped back immediately to keep a safe distance from him. "I'm just curious. I want to know if it's true," Eva stammered.

"What secret do you know about me?" A fierce look appeared on Jim's face.

Eva felt the cold wind blowing, "Well... You said you have never had a woman. You are still a virgin." The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. She was afraid that Jim would kill her on the spot. "Do you have a problem with that?" Jim's brown eyes twinkled in the light.

"No, I just want to ask if it's true." Eva stuck out her tongue.

"It's none of your business," Jim snorted.

"I'm just a little curious." Eva smiled awkwardly.

"Curiosity Kills the cat." A sharp and cold light flashed through Jim's eyes.

Looking at his expression, Eva thought what he said was true. 'Alcohol talks.'

"Scum Jim, are you obsessed with cleanliness or do you want to keep your integrity for Janice?" Eva asked.

Jim couldn't kiss her, so he picked up a grape to cover her annoying mouth.

"Cut the crap, or I'll throw you out."

"Well, well, I will stop talking." Eva pouted. Looking at his fierce look, she'd better shut up in case of being killed.

Jim picked up the juice on the tea table and took a sip. "Heaven pepper, should I congratulate you for finally giving yourself to your man and became a true woman?"

Eva choked hard and coughed several times before she came to her senses. What he said was like rubbing salt on her wound.

She regretted not giving herself to Vinton earlier. There was no regret medicine in the world. If Vinton didn't come back, she could only regret for the rest of her life. "Scum Jim, do you have any wine? I want to drink," she said.

Jim went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured her a glass.

"Three glasses are limited. Don't drink too much."

"I know." Eva raised her head and drank up the glass. "Alcohol is really a good thing. The heart hurts. After drinking it, it doesn't feel pain anymore."

"Drink to drown your sorrows, and there will be more sorrows." Jim sighed.

"Will you feel better when you are drunk last time?" Eva asked, with a layer of mist rising in her eyes.

"No, it's painful. It will be more painful after the anesthesia." A bitter smile slowly flowed out from the corner of Jim's mouth.

Eva's eyes fell on the dark night outside the window. "I used to like night very much, because I could see Vinton at night. We had dinner together, went shopping and watched movies together. Before going to bed, he sang a lullaby to lull me to sleep. Now I'm so afraid of the night. When it's dark, the house is so quiet, as if I'm the only one left in the world." As she spoke, a drop of tear fell down.

"You are not alone. I live next door to you, right?" Jim held her shoulder.

"It's different." Eva shook his head, "You have your own life. I don't want to bother you."

"I'm alone tonight." Jim shrugged.

"Your new girlfriend and old lover are all around you. You are busy." Eva glanced at him.

"Recently, I just want to be alone. Otherwise, why did I move here?" Jim said slowly.

"Are you going to hide from the two of them?" Eva was slightly stunned.

"Calm down and you will know what you really want." Jim shook the glass in his hand and took a sip of the wine.

"I hope you can figure it out as soon as possible." Eva sighed.

It was already ten o'clock after she finished the game Monopoly. Eva finally went bankrupt. It seemed that she couldn't win Jim in anything.

As soon as she returned to the villa, she began to feel depressed.

She used to live alone and never felt uncomfortable, but now she was particularly empty, bored and lonely, because she was a really alone now.

Lying in the bathtub, she cried for a long time, and the phone outside rang for a long time.

When she came out, she found it was a call from Jim. She didn't have anything left with him.

"What are you doing, scum Jim?" she asked with a heavy nasal voice.

Jim was already at the door of her house and was about to break in, fearing that something went wrong with her. He didn't put down his foot until he received her call.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"I was taking a shower," Eva replied in a low voice.

"Are you going to bed?" Jim asked.

"Yes," she answered. In fact, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Put your phone on speaker." After saying that, Jim turned around and went back to his own house.

Eva didn't know what he was going to do, but she did as he said and put the phone on the bedside table.

Jim's song came from the microphone.

She was startled. Was he singing a lullaby for her to lull her to sleep?

But why did the stars in the sky take care of the gorilla on the ground? Was it because she had lost the tree, the home she could rely on and inhabit, so he sympathized with her? She lay on the bed and listened quietly without saying anything.

His voice was really pleasant to hear, extremely magnetic, like the sound of nature.

Slowly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. In her dream, her Vinton came back, turned into an angel, came back to her side, and they would be together forever and ever.

The second morning, when Jim went to knock at the door, Eva frowned with a sad expression.

"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?" he asked in a hurry.

"Nothing. I just have a stomachache." Eva waved her hand.

Damn it! Jim tensed up. He lifted her up and ran out, which made her confused. "What are you doing, scum Jim? Let go of me."

"I'll take you to the hospital," Jim said as he got to the car door.

"It's just physical pain," Eva said awkwardly.

"Heaven pepper, maybe you haven't taken good care of yourself recently and have signs of miscarriage," Jim said seriously.

Eva was speechless. Miscarriage? Oh God! Did he still think she was pregnant?

"No, I'm not pregnant. How could I have a miscarriage? I only have my period!" Eva explained immediately.

Jim was shocked. "You... are not pregnant?"

"No, I don't have anything in my belly." Eva made a strange face.

Jim breathed a sigh of relief and his nerves suddenly relaxed. He didn't know if it was because she didn't have an abortion or because she wasn't pregnant.

After returning to the villa, he made a cup of brown sugar water for her.

Eva gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Scum Jim, in fact, I have one thing to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Jim asked.

"Well... I suddenly find that I don't have any sanitary towel. Can you buy me some?"
