Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Seventeen

We stood there without saying anything.
I was glad that JR didn't catch us kissing.

"We have to tell him", I chocked out feeling all kinds of emotions.

"Tell him what? You mean about our friendship?", he cocked his eyebrow up trying to smile but failing miserably.

"Yeah, why can't we tell him?", I asked trying so hard not to get upset.

"No not now Linda, I'm just not ready to lose him as a friend", he said sadly then moved towards the door.

"I'm gonna go", he said with his back at me. Then he walked out.

What just happened?
JR is slowly ruining my life!.
I started getting pissed. I don't butt in his relationship business now, do I?.
I have to find Bruno, he needs to know how I feel, that even JR can't change my feelings for him.
I ran to the door, as I turned the corner I bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry -", it was Bruno. What's he still doing here?

"I was turning back to tell you that", he sighed, covering his nerves with a smile.
"That that kiss we shared",
"oh no, please don't say it was a mistake. Please don't say it." I whispered closing my eyes tightly.

"No no, it was the best I've ever had. And it just ruined my friendly feelings for you.
I know what I said about JR, Linda please open your eyes", he placed his hands on each side of my cheeks.
I didn't even realise my eyes were still closed.
I slowly opened them and yep, his face was a few inches from mine. I swallowed hard as I looked at him.

"I know what I said about JR", he repeated. "But the thing is, as much as I wanna stay away from you for his sake, I also wanna be with you to make you happy". He stepped back looking all around, "I wanna be with you, I think I'm in love with you", he said looking straight into my eyes.

"I'm gonna punch you so hard if you keep staring at my sister like that", JR said moving slowly towards us.
Okay. He's furious.

"Well, I'm seriously going now", Bruno quickly walked past JR and I was left to deal with him on my own.

"He's not good for you, you do know that right?", he moved closer to me, making me more nervous.

"How would you know that?", I asked.

"I've seen him with girls, I know how he treats them", he sounded so sure.

"Right... so he's totally a heartbreaker?", I enquired hinting on sarcasm.
"And obviously you're not", I nodded pretending I get the whole thing.

"I'd stay away from him if I were you", he folded his arms looking all serious.

"That coming from his true best friend", I rolled my eyes at him folding my arms as well.

"Ahhh! Don't be such a brat",

"Don't treat me like one", I snapped at him, then walked passed him as he watched me silently.

"Linda! What's with you? Don't you get it, I'm looking out for you", he yelled at me.

I guess I won this battle.
I got to my room and closed the door.
And then suddenly it swung opened revealing a really pissed JR.
Gosh I guess I celebrated way too early.

"Now what?", I rolled my eyes turning my back at him as I got on my bed into my covers.

"Princess, why do you care so much about this guy?",
