Royally In Love

Chapter 6: Do I Tell Her?

The next day I was pacing on how to tell Brooke about Isaac. If I tell her she will say that I'm overreacting. And if I don't tell her, she will say that I was a bad friend for not telling her.

"Ryan, a little help would be appreciated here." I sighed. we had a break before our next class.

"I think you should let things happen. I get that you want to protect her, but they are adults. Who knows, maybe Isaac will like her and not just as a friend." He told me.

"I guess you're right, I just hope she doesn't get hurt. I don't trust Isaac." I replied.

"It will be alright."

"If you say so." I shrugged.

After classes were over, I went home to visit my parents. As soon as I opened the door I was pulled into a hug by my dad.

"I missed you too, Dad." I chuckled as I hugged him. I haven't visit in two weeks.

"Visit more often. We miss you a lot."

"I will. And I'll be staying here the weekend cause I miss you two." I told them.

"And we miss you more, little princess." My other dad said as he joined the hug.

Oh yeah, I have two fathers who I love very much. They adopted me when I was 2 years old. I never wanted to know who my birth parents were. Never got curious. I mean why search for someone who gave me up. But I was glad they did. I got adopted by two amazing people.

"So, is there any food?" I asked as the chuckled. we went to the kitchen and ate.

"So Jace, did you get promoted?" My dad Luke asked him.

"No, they gave it to someone who just entered the company, cause he's young and has fresh ideas," He sighed.

"I'm sure you will get that promotion, have faith." I told him as I grabbed his hand. he just smiled at us. "I can get a job, I don't mind."

"Absolutely not. Your studies come first. We do well enough to support this family." 

"Fine, but if you need me to find a job just say the word." I pouted with crossed arms, they just chuckled.

After spending a few hours with them, I left the house and went to the apartment. I just let Brooke go out with Isaac and not tell her about it. I'm a bad friend. I sighed as I plopped on the couch.

Brooke

I was with Isaac at this cool restaurant. We were waiting for our food to come. So far, everything is going well. Though I did noticed him on his phone a lot. I had no idea who he was texting.

"So, how's chef school going?"

"It's ok." He replied while still texting. Okay, I was becoming annoyed by this.

"Why did you asked me on a date if you're going to be on your phone?"

"Date? I thought it was just two friends hanging out?"

Ouch, was not expecting that answer, "Right, my bad."

"I think you're a great girl, but-"

"Yeah I know, My skin color is a problem for you. I guess that's the way it will always be. I have to go." With that said I left. He ran after me but I managed to hide. I know we met what, three days ago, but I thought we clicked. I might have read the signs wrong.

I ended up in a park. I sat on a bench and cried. I guess it's time to accept the fact that no one will ever like me because of my skin. Maybe I should do a treatment that will make my skin lighter.

A few minutes passed and I felt someone sat next to me. "It's a good thing I can track your phone, Isaac called me and asked if you were with me. I yelled at him said some colorful things." Liz said causing me to laugh.

"Brooke, I should've warned you about Isaac, he said he didn't want a relationship. But I figured maybe with this date he would've changed his mind. I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I was stupid to think that someone could actually be interest in me. I know silly to get a crush on someone I just met 3 days ago." I sobbed.

"It's not silly. And Isaac just wasn't the one for you. the right guy will come."

"Maybe I should do a treatment to make my skin lighter."

"Are you insane! you're perfect. You're beautiful and if we were lesbians, I would so date you." I just laughed at her craziness. 

"Thanks for cheering me up, you're the best, I love you." I said as we both hugged.

"Now, let's go home, I got a pizza with our names on it." She grinned. I love this little person.

Later that night Isaac called me a lot text me like crazy. I turned my phone off. I didn't need to hear his excuses. He made me feel like I didn't matter when he ignored me at the restaurant. I got crushed.
