I groan at the sun, most likely giving me an unwanted tan. I glared in a direction not caring who was on the other side since I could even see. I stopped taping my heel against the ground when Cleo’s hand snaked up my thigh. I turned to her fiddling with the cute flowery sundress she had on, wishing to just jump past the little fence and run back to the apartment, “I really don’t want to meet her.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzvsvAHrHx

I sigh, going to take a swig of the wine I ordered only for it to be snatched by Cleo, “So you’ve said. And no drinking.”

She winced most likely off my strong taste and gathered my hand in hers, “Because I said so love. You can do it after having a level headed mind throughout this whole thing.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBxwYia99Y

“Fine, you're right. I don’t know why dad is so adamant about this. Even after the fact of blackmailing and holding a secret like that.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QdC0p80oc
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoyQbJRcjf
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaALSl3NBI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6OlA0erN
“For telling her?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Boq3E4sv
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmqsWlxi4D
“Yes. And since your father wasn’t there she must've been there as her support. Just think, babe, she lost her own child. She must’ve wanted someone to know at that moment.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBtW8LuaoB
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7dBU4F3vJ
“Maybe yea,” I smiled, fiddling with her engagement ring. When I looked at her again she was already watching and she laughed when I pulled her by her collar to place a kiss on my lips, “I’m glad your here.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkmzz9s9eR
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMSyaVHO3Q
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi5RGzdLIi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhXxkAlrGi
“Not for the support?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jt1lDOHej
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBoZSawlqV
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MCXRbBtBs
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BtCu6LMW
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunf7PcnFo

“You’ll be just fine. And if not we can just leave,” She looked away and smiled brightly when getting up and I followed suit, “Now put on your lovely fake smile and be nice.”

“I’m always nice,” I gasped when her palm connected with my butt grimacing in trying to laugh it off as my dad came up to us.

“Cleo! Nice to see you again. I hoped that this one didn’t run you off already,” He was beaming, looking unfazed at the situation at hand. He somehow looked even better than when I last saw him. They hugged each other and I crossed my arms unwilling to just act happy.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLWagHrn8j

“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ICsxDDME
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCApphrHQvj
“And really thank you for keeping me up to date. Other than when we speak on the phone I never know what's going on with her.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrvPTIWvhH
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x6kvPL4f2
“It’s no problem. Just be glad your likable, otherwise I would've kept to myself. By the way, where is this woman of the hour?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOHZQ2qWJe
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjRDw4Nlvx
“Popped into the restroom. But I'm keeping an eye out in case she's trying to escape. I even had to convince her when she came that you wouldn’t kill her.”

“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSzyl7U3l8

“Well it is my company. I just have someone being the face and acting the part. I phrased it wrong, sorry but that's the income earned that I gave her. I gave them a couple of ideas that worked and they I could use the extra money anyways. However, she needed it more than me.”

A woman skin and bones came up to the table. I was taken aback as she looked starved and almost dead yet still alive and kicking, “Hello…,” Cleo and dad went quiet as I stared at my… aunt? She looked like a shell of what she could have been. 263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9olTbmjBr
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVd25rtxc2
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIIjy5vW5j

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyqiMxmkAZ
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9gF4cYPmK
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLdugVWT8J
“...Your father was mad at me. I only left your mom after a fight we had. And I never got to reconcile with her. He had every right to reject me and i made the stupid decision to hurt him. And for that I am sorry to both of you. Talia wanted me to take this to my grave.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuclColZQa

“You have gotten better, yes?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5DwnDDjvN

“I’m going through rehab. I’m a month clean with many years to come. And might I say your just like her. She was such a strong willed person and you obviously inherited that factor.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFbykbygwR
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3uPqnqG3
“Thank you…”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGHQEHKFzA
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJVhR6b2mj
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHiTL2yI8I
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuNynxENh8
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdB5xsTnmr
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsom2rdu66

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPEJBA9Kgy
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDMmY1Pvt2
“...If Faye is fine with it…”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF7Y2MEEkI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PO6gBoa5X
“Yes I am.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF2uqYJCMF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmO6YJRshy
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOO8Al2guF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXZxJU3r6T
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjERu7rLSl
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ176kuNpuId
She nodded and came over to me to take a hold of my hand, “Hopefully I'll see more of you and really I'm sorry about this whole thing.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUjhfJFIdE
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20D6Fy8lOL
Using the better half of me I pulled her into a hug albeit a short one in response, “I know that now. Have a great meeting.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmlIxK1fVf
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oAiYAIM5M
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZCO7J08kx
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91WwSqS49W
“Shut up old man and hug me.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMePcPyN6B
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLYSLz2sp
His laugh loud and boasted came in between Cleo and I to pull us into a group hug, “Love you and you too Cleo. I gotta go before someone calls me and hopefully you two will meet soon,” I double took him after that last sentence and he literally rushed away knowing I'd have something to say.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzN3kNyden
Cleo was laughing at my expression and I bumped my hips with hers and had to grab her arm so she wouldn’t fully fall over after, “One issue at a time okay.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpLPoYt4ij
