Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Two

I woke up to my phone ringing.
I just didn't understand who's got so much balls to call me this early in the morning.
I rolled facing up then sighed after I yawned. My phone kept ringing.
I started searching for it under my pillows then felt like dying when I saw the caller ID.

"Hello?",

"Morning sweetheart, you still asleep?", dad asked through the phone.
What the hell? What will I be doing at this time?

"No dad, I'm painting the roof", I rolled my eyes and got out of bed.

"Who paints the roof at 4am in the morning?",
What the hell? Who calls others at 4am in the morning and expect them to be awake? Obviously I didn't ask him that.

"JR is picking you up with his friend and I want you all to get here early, since I'm making some kind of traditional celebration. And I'm glad you'll be part of it", he said stopping me from my attempts of making my bed at 4am.

"Ohkay", I replied. "Has JR left yet?",

"Yeah. He'll get there around past 5 I'm sure",
Oh boy, shoot me now. I guess there's no way of getting back to sleep now.

After my dad hanged up I decided to fix my bed not caring what time it is anymore, then went to the bathroom and took a long bath.
I could hear my mother making breakfast in the kitchen, guess dad told her about JR getting here around 5.

I finished with my bath, went back to my room and lotioned my body. I got dressed in black ripped jeans, red tank top with small white horizontal lines, black all-stars and a white bucket-hat. I like dressing up like a tomboy, it makes me feel more like myself instead of dressing up in dresses and heels looking like a wanna-be-babie.
I put on light make-up and applied a dark burgundy lipstick. No mascara or eyeliner since I get itchy eyes whenever I do.

As I was tying my hair into a bun, there was a light knock at my door.
Before I could say come in, the door was pushed ajar.

"May I come in sleepy head?", JR asked popping his head in.

"No, I'm naked", I smiled getting up from the chair infront of the mirror.
He pushed the door and walked in.

"I've missed you", he hugged me tightly messing up my hair with his hand, like I was his pat.

"Missed you too", I pushed him slowly, "now get away you messing up my hair",

"What's that I hear about dad making a celebration?", I asked sitting on the bed and brushing my hair where JR messed it.

"Some welcome festive for you princess", JR rolled his eyes taking a sit next to me.

It's kind of tradition, since my father never paid for the damages he made when he impregnated my mother. By damages I mean getting my mother pregnant without getting married to her first.
Now he has to pay it since I'm moving in with him, it's more like asking for permission from our ancestors to permanently live with me.
They'll be a animal slaughtered to the ancestors, I don't really know how it works or what happens if they don't do it. I just follow instructions since I'm still a child.

"Don't roll your eyes, I know you're excited that you'll finally get drunk", I playfully bumped his shoulder with mine.

"Whatever", he got up heading to the door.

"Im getting breakfast", he winked at me and I knew that meant he'll eat mine as well if I don't follow him to the kitchen.

Walking down the hallway I heard my mother's laugh and a voice that I didn't recognize.
I walked faster and stopped right at the kitchen's doorway.
