Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Twenty One

:Bruno

"Bruno! You having that engagement party on Friday whether you like it or not. I've already invited your friends so don't mess it up", Mum yelled standing on my doorway looking very angry.
"Oh... and Lelo is coming over tonight so be nice", she added before turning to walk away.

"Be nice?! Why should I be nice if she's your guest?", I charged all my anger up to win the battle.

"Sweetheart, I didn't send you to her house to sleep with her, you're the one her father caught you with in bed. If you controlled that thing in your pants you wouldn't be getting married to her, you know how traditional her family is and we work for them. This is all your doings, you shaped your own future", she turned back around and walked out leaving me powerless.
Yes it was all my fault. But I didn't know this was gonna happen, I just saw a beautiful girl who wanted to have sex with me as most guys would, I did. I had no idea she's a virgin and that I was signing up an agreement to spend the rest of my life with.

"You look excited", my cousin said as she walked in my room carrying a huge bag.

"I'm not in the mood Cece", I said dropping like a potato sach on my bed.

"Where should I crash?", she asked trying to cheer me up.

"Where you always crash", I snapped.

"Geez..", she turned dragging her bag with her.

Man I hate a full house when I feel like this.
I walked up to my window looking out to see if I'll spot Linda outside her house.
Seems like I'm in luck. There she is, talking to her brother on the drive way. Phila is with them looking all excited. This whole view bought a smile on my lips. Seeing Linda like that, smiling like that, bought joy in my life. But it hurts that I won't be able to share it with her.

"I'm going out for drinks with my friends, wanna come?", Cece asked. She was back on my bedroom doorway again.

"Anything to make this terrible feeling go away", I said and it came out as a sad whisper.
Damn I hate this feeling.

<><><><>

We got outside and I was disappointed that Linda was nolonger on her driveway.
As we drove to the Mall with my cousin Cece, and her friend Sne'Themba, a girl she always hangs out with whenever she's here. She doesn't have much friends here since she lives out of Nelspruit, I don't know how she got this one.
A few weeks ago, I kinda hanged out with Sne. We were at a party. She was with a guy I know so we all sat together.

"You look very pretty today Sne", I said smiling.

"Oh thank you", she replied blushing a little.

"So when did you guys get this close?", Cece asked as she noticed how freely and friendly Sne and I started talking.

"We once hanged out at a friend's party", she giggled. "It was the day of my blind date", she laughed shaking Cece's shoulders, well she laughed too.
I tried so hard to smile but it just slowly faded. It was getting to me that the only person who'll pull a smile on my face would only be Linda.

"Okay, what's up with you and that friend of yours Sne'Themba?", Cece asked. I guess she saw my reaction and changed the subject into a conversation they both knew. I couldn't stop thinking about Linda, good thing I wasn't driving.
Sometime a week ago I was headed to her house to check JR so he'll tell me his plans of making Phila fall for him. When I got there Mrs Kate called JR to let him know that I was in the living room. As we talked and laughed Linda walked in with headsets over her ears singing and dancing. She had her eyes closed as she enjoyed whatever she was listening to. Her voice, I had no idea she could sing, or dance. She wasn't giving it her all but she had moves hey. As JR talked, my eyes were on Linda watching her every step. She was really enjoying herself so much she didn't even open her eyes to see if anyone was watching.
Then JR decided to ruin my moment by hitting her with a couch's pillow. She gasped falling down landing on her butt. JR and I laughed so hard she had to join in, then it all turned into a pillow fight. It was perfect, she's the only one person that can make me laugh out of nowhere, I don't have to pretend like something is funny with her. She brings out my true laughter.
