Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Twenty Two

As I watched Bruno leave with his cousin Cece, I just  couldn't stop smiling. I know I was so upset at him for whatever is happening between us but I got to a point where I had to accept his faults since he didn't plan the whole marriage thing, he made a mistake and now he's paying for it. Gosh, I don't understand some of our cultures.
Anyway, we could still be friends. We could hang out and maybe I might like his wife.
If it wasn't for my mother moving in with James I wouldn't have moved here, I wouldn't have got to know Bruno and I wouldn't have gone through what I'm going through. So I guess I have to accept things the way they've turned out to be and learn to live with it.

After our shopping at the Mall we hanged out a little and I got to know Phila a little more.
Apart from being pretty, she's smart.
She's into science and physics, she likes to question everything around her and she's got a good heart.
She grew up without a father but you'd never tell, cause she doesn't carry that on her shoulders. She makes the best out of everything she touches, that's how she got to turn JR into committing.
Probably the same reason he chose her, and I like her for him.

Later we went back home carrying bags filled with clothes and shoes.
When we got home Phila and I got to dress up creating a fashion show for JR, Kiddo and Kate. Kiddo kept on clapping while jumping up happily, he wanted to dress up too but JR told him it's only done by girls, and if he dresses up he'll turn into a girl. He was freaked out about the whole thing since he kept yelling "look at me, I'm not gonna change any of my clothes",
He was making it clear that he really didn't want to do it because he's scared of changing into a girl.

After the fashion show we created, I went upstairs to my room and got on my bed, and into my covers.
My plan was to rest my eyes but I ended up falling into a deep sleep.

<><><><>

My phone beeped waking me up from my deep sleep.
I growled rolling over to switch on my side lap. I then digged up my pillows for my phone.

"10pm? Fuck, I thought it was 1am", I said to myself as I viewed the message I just received.

Asshole: Wake up.
I rolled my eyes as if he could see me then got up to reply.

What the hell??

Asshole: I can't sleep.

Is that the reason you waking me up?
He better have something real important to say for him to disturb my sleep like this.

Asshole: I can't sleep at my house.
What the hell does he want me to do?
What if we were still not on talking terms, who was he gonna cry to?

Asshole: I'm at your door. Open up I'm really tired.
Is he kidding me?

I ran to my window but couldn't see any movement on the lawn. I guess he really is at the door.
I put on my sleeper shoes then rushed downstairs but being careful not to wake anybody up.

"What are you doing here?", I whispered to him after opening the door.
Instead of answering my question he walked passed me.
I locked up and followed him to my bedroom.

"Just because I talk to you doesn't mean we best friends", I whisper yelled at him as I closed my bedroom door.

"Really? I thought we more than that", he smirked then took off his shoes to lay on my bed.

"Why are you here?", I asked as I lay right beside him.

"I told you didn't I?", he snuggled with one of my pillows to get comfortable.
