Be Eaten Up with Love

Wayne Gilbert was silent for a while, and then stood up, looking for the waiter to
pay for the bill. When I thought he was going to leave me here alone, he picked
me up like picking a chick...
“I’ll take you somewhere to vent your feelings.”
Along the way, he did not say a word, and I cried intermittently. Perhaps because
I drank two bottles of beer before, and I felt dizzy. My heart felt wronged,
repulsive and uncomfortable, one after another.
He drove the car as fast as he could. I sat in the passenger seat and felt the thrill
of drifting instantly.
His driving skills were very good, so I fully enjoyed the tension of life and death in
the speed and passion.
I clenched my seat belt, screaming every time when he made a hair-raising turn,
and my heart pounding in my throat...
Finally, before my heart was almost collapsed, he slowed down.
When the car stopped, I found that he drove in a large circle around Liang city,
and he took me to the riverside.
“Every time when I’m in a bad mood, I would come here for a walk and relax
myself.” He stopped the car, untied his seat belt and got out.
Because of the speed of the previous car drift, my legs were weak, and I relaxed
for a while before I getting out of the car.
He was leaning against the car, holding a half-burnt cigarette in his hand. His
face was indifferent, but I felt a sense of loneliness from his calm face.
I suddenly realized that I may be really drunk, as I even felt that Wayne Gilbert
was lonely! The power people sought, the money and the status they wanted by

all means, Wayne Gilbert had all these things. He was so superior that he had
more than I could lose...
I chuckled, rolled up the car door, and walked over to him in a daze.
“Don’t you think the river scenery is beautiful?” I leaned against the railing,
watching the fiery lights across the river.
The colorful world was so close to me, yet I felt so far away. There was no place
for me in such a big city as Liang city. I strived to live, and told myself all the time
that one day I would be able to stand on both sides of Liang city, overlooking the
colorful riverside scenery!
“When I was young, my parents used to take me here to see the river! Later, my
parents died. When I came here to see the river scenery by myself, I dreamed
that I would be rich and could buy a house in Fanghua scenery of Liang city on
the other side of the river. Later, then I knew that I had to face the reality!"
I relied on Wayne Gilbert, took over his cigarette, smoked and puffed slowly.
The smoke drifting away slowly, I looked sad. Wayne Gilbert took away the
cigarette, threw on the ground, and stamped out.
“How could a girl smoke?”
I ignored him, climbing to sit on the railing. The river wind blowing and blowing
my messy hair, I was happy like a child and danced for joy.
Wayne Gilbert held on round my waist tightly, for fear that I fell into the river
accidentally. I did not even care. If I fell into the river and drowned, I would be
free. This world had nothing to bother me anymore!
“Wayne Gilbert, for a man like you, you have met with varieties of women and
you could have any women as long as you like. why do you like me? Do I

possess a dazzling sexual power? It makes you abandon yourself to pleasures,
and want to have sex with me again and again?”
I was very curious suddenly. For a man like Wayne Gilbert, even Sara Grant was
attracted by him. Why he was interested in me!
To tell the truth, I wasn’t very beautiful at first sight, and at best I was good-
looking.
For so many years, besides Geoffrey, very few men have chased me. Thus, for
Wayne Gilbert, he never lacked various beautiful women as a golden bachelor,
and why did he like me?
Did he want to change his taste of women since he had a lot of beautiful women
and he tried to date the average-looking women like me?
“Well, Lydia, you feel too good about yourself. You look like a dead fish when we
have sex. You make me almost lose interest and how can you boast too much?”
Wayne Gilbert’s big palm pinched my waist after sneering at me.
“You have no interest? Why do you make love with me for three times a night?
You are shameless!” My voice was very light, and the wind blew it away. But it
was very weird that Wayne Gilbert heard every word.
