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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ic6XVAs19

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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkXV2uevhh

“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvDSbAOyz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLajfmOj0Zb
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFTziuiRh8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskSMBMzGVw
“For telling her?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBjwFKAst
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J2imRfrGz
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdz3dCflSB

“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oBfLBPlLB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1nDI2ZkEG
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmJR2WykKL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJVFOVGmh8
“Not for the support?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHihNvWv9KO
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYNoM2gxe
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfkFpmCxh
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM8HwHQpfS
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIdNIta481
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXUkgfUBdF
“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.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1kzwJp4ap
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKjA9JvlyG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjlxiw4uBd
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyVFkdhQ5M
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW2s6RGD1d
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMUgYgWR5k
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLQJf7oS4t
“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?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5wD45taQL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp8VCZl6nV
“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.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rptsn0y4A
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ZAAhDK49

“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.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9TxCK5qLx
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. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP270psX42
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJj0wyd6QI
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E1K123jq1

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJtNYS1ig4
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztznb3SF1f
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI2Oq3PEZ4
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs12sSiYhnF
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVwmvBrQwp
“...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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpjPqqxGeE
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGSvCfvfzr
“You have gotten better, yes?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl5u6kVF5c
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbW2YEmJo5
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A4AhVmm81
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobd6qANTTs
“Thank you…”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMuUwmFwlg
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5b2PKjwbs
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6iIZRsX3O
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAydb8bntiS
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2k7iamuOw
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb92E4fyQlm
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7t6jjUNX1
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPN4XJVOpb
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0hUjMK2P
“...If Faye is fine with it…”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhtox8OM9r
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYEaQfnuK9
“Yes I am.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUUTWRjiL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqCdyRpKb
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7VZcMPz9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGcIR2Zasm
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjkHlonldi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GmR0f3z4U
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrPwNOb6h
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA6sHqCQfo
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkYc6mkhFs
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBgzHeVW3j
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIRwaNT6P5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhGFRz1BYr
“Shut up old man and hug me.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtmYoQp11T
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT9zuMOWI5
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgqLg5Cwas
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGGH1c3EJ3

“A nice movie night in? Let me order before we leave so you don’t starve. And get me something sweet. I don’t even know how you handle that stuff.”
