This is a sequel to 'Unrequited Love' but can be read as a stand alone.

"Seriously? An animal zoo?" I ask her incredulously.
"Why do you guys have to call it animal zoo? Of course, zoo consists of animals only." she replies in a 'duh' tone.
"You...

"Eli, why do you want me to switch schools all of a sudden?" I whine.
"Kukla, that's one of the best schools. I graduated from there, Zee graduated from there and the faculty is so nice." he tries to reason with me.

I huff into the phone and plop on my bed, "That's not the only reason. I know you, Eli."
"Princess, please. Stop arguing." he sighs from the other end.
I purse my lips and nod my head, "Okay." I agree.
"Good. I love you, you know that right?" he asks.
"Yeah. I love you, too. The most." I say with a small smile.
"I'll see you soon, take care of yourself." he says.
"You, too. Bye." I say and hang up.
Sighing heavily, I get up from the bed and make my way downstairs. I hear noises from the kitchen and walk inside to find mom cooking breakfast and dad playing with the twins.
"Good morning." I greet them.
Dad looks up with a smile and opens his arms for me. I hug him tightly and peck his cheek, "You look fresh today, old man." I tease.
Mom chuckles shaking her head and I quickly peck her cheek as well before dropping on the bar stool next to the twins' baby chair.
"I am still very young at heart. Your mom knows." he winks making me laugh.
I love them both so much. I wish to have a love like them, someday.
"So? Did Elijah convince you already?" dad asks.
My eyes widen in surprise, "You knew, too?"
"Of course, we did." mom chimes in.
"Mom, why are you guys doing this?" I ask with a frown.
"Baby, Eli thinks it's best if you go to RedWood High for your senior year. Besides, we obviously know how good of a school that is. Even your dad graduated from there." she says placing our breakfast plates in front of us.
"I agreed." I tell them.
"You won't regret it, princess." dad smiles at me in a reassuring manner.
I smile but it faints as soon as I see mom serving me my share of breakfast. An old memory hits me and a pout forms on my lips, involuntarily.
Did he forget about me?
"What's wrong?" mom asks.
I look up and see a small knowing smirk on her face making me shift uncomfortably in my seat.
"Nothing." I mumble and dig in.
After breakfast, mom and dad leaves to get groceries while I play with the twins in the backyard. Mrs. Cooper, our housemaid, retired last year and now her niece has replaced her. Dad doesn't allow any third person in the house on Sundays since it's a family day.
