Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Twenty Four

I ran out of the house with my heart beating out of my chest. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think.
As I ran out I bumped into someone by the front door.

"I'm sorry", I whispered in my crying voice.

"Linda?", he grabbed my arm to stop me from running.
I looked up and noticed that its Bruno, along with his friends.

"What's wrong?", he asked staring at me with concern.

"I ne-need to-t-to go home plea-", I chocked out. Tears ran down my cheeks since I was no longer able to hold them back.

"Hey hey...", he pleaded but I managed to loosen his grip and rushed home.

I got to my room and threw myself on the bed. All last night's memories came back rushing through my mind.
Maybe it's all a lie.
He would have told me if she was pregnant right?
I cried my eyes out debating on whether I wanted to believe it or not, then decided it'll be easier if I ask him, if he tells me what the truth is.
I let my tears fall down my cheeks, I didn't wipe them and I had no power to cry out loud.
A few minutes later after I've calmed myself  down, my phone rang.

"Hello", I answered with my voice chocked by all the crying.

"Could you please come out and tell me what's happening", Bruno pleaded sounding worried.

"Alright", I replied.
I want answers and to get them I need to ask him.

I got up from bed, fixed my hair and then wipe off all the makeup I had on. I won't blame him if he got tired of waiting and left.
After making him wait I went outside and found him still standing by the bushes before the front door.

"Oh my, you took forever", he said the moment I stepped out.
I didn't reply though and that made him frown.

"Come here", he opened his arms then motioned with his hands for me to hug him.
I shook my head denying the invitation.

"Linda what's wrong?", he asked sounding serious.

"Your fiance told me you going to have a baby", I said after gathering all the strength that I lost from crying. I didn't want to break into tears in front of him.
I don't want him to see how venerable I am.

"And I wasn't lying", Lelo said appearing from around the corner unexpectedly.
I just wondered who's left at the party to entertain the guests if both the bride and groom are here.

"What are you doing here Lelo?", Bruno asked looking pissed.

"I should ask you the same thing", she rolled her eyes as she folded her arms.
Seriously now? I don't feel like dealing with both of them.

"Would you leave us alone please", Bruno asked Lelo but she didn't seem like somebody who would agree to move.

"I'm 3 weeks pregnant, you can guess for yourself when we had sex",
And there goes my strength...
I sighed as I held my tears back. I couldn't think, I shouldn't think. This can't be real.
Bruno lied. He fuckn' lied and I believed him.
I'm such an idiot.

I was facing down when Lelo said all that. I turned slowly, my eyes landing on Bruno. I didn't have to say or ask anything, his body language said it all.
Son of a bitch!
This asshole!

"Sweetheart don't get upset, you know how black guys are like", she smiled rubbing her belly.
"They don't do romance, unless they're seducing you", she continued as she rubbed her belly.
