Leaving the kitchen and into the living room I pushed Mia’s feet off the couch to sit next to her. The baffled look she gave me almost made me burst out laughing but I held it in, “Want some?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAukhNbqrUxz
259Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uulud1Dgy
She groaned and crossed her arms, obviously annoyed with me, “Why can’t you just leave me alone. I got the stupid measurements for the stupid dress. I was even cordial whenever you talked to me.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAL9cXjA1iQD
259Please respect copyright.PENANAwZvC6KQglm
“Saying only yes or no isn’t being cordial. I don’t want you to be a robot but you shouldn’t be a little asshole either.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAzvJXm8aDyt
“Why are you even doing all of this? We are not related at all.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAljAbXiHoLr
259Please respect copyright.PENANAo9VpB7ZGrU
“Doesn’t mean we can’t get along. Plus I know this is all a facade. You genuinely are nice and especially because of your dad.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAJGeKBsixIU
259Please respect copyright.PENANAcs5O89k1TD
“What does that mean? I’m my own person.”259Please respect copyright.PENANASTvr4G180t
259Please respect copyright.PENANAiTsCHPnRsz
I sighed and put down my plate, sad that I didn't make more. I mean who doesn’t like midday waffles, “Yes but we get most of our traits from our parents whether we like it or not. You are kind. Even though you don’t want my mom to see and act like a little shit to me, I notice the nice little gestures you do after only being here for a day.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANA8hclwyTdtE
“So your stalking?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAuHQB8iMWeC
259Please respect copyright.PENANA8yzM37vRRu
“No, just observant. People who are hiding something from a certain someone only look out for them and not the other people who may see what they're doing.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANApforuaNt52
“Yea yea I need a lecture right now. They don’t even notice it.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7HQe0BMbt
259Please respect copyright.PENANAFIBBKxQn2Z
“Because you don’t want them to. I grew up without my parents. Even though I was fine it was tough. Don’t push them away just because Mia,” She pushed herself further into the couch and quietly pondered to herself. I wasn’t sure how long she’d continue keeping to herself, “So are we on equal playing fields now?”259Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y8htd7WuD
259Please respect copyright.PENANA70AL49mWG1
“Sure you can say that.”259Please respect copyright.PENANA6SHWGOFFzg
259Please respect copyright.PENANAmQsQkUAjqy
“I’m glad doing this worked. I had another plan that wouldn’t lead to you being happy.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAuaIdnyqsvH
259Please respect copyright.PENANAEHMyzfCVQE
“Do I even want to know?”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAyxak0vbhZx
“Nope but it had a lot more lectures involved,” I got up and stretched then bent over to pick my plate up, “I’m gonna go find Faye and see what she’s been up to.”259Please respect copyright.PENANA1tf7Iw90c4
259Please respect copyright.PENANAk6ykYGYSTs
I was walking off to the kitchen and stopped when I heard her say, “Are you gonna go dress shopping while your here too?”259Please respect copyright.PENANA2MRoWpJmXZ
259Please respect copyright.PENANABrzNLIJ7jM
A smile formed on my lips, not one that was smug or anything, “I don’t see why not. You wanna come with me and mom?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAi7r4lwmkaZ
259Please respect copyright.PENANAgzMBrrfLNH
“Yea,” And that right there is progress.

I huddled closer to Faye feeling wind tickle up under the length of my dress. She placed an arm around me as we both looked into the distance. We sat in comfortable silence only watching the sunset after having walked to and around the park, “The view is so nice. Wouldn’t mind waking up to this and a naked woman beside me.”259Please respect copyright.PENANA0AHd1wrUt6
259Please respect copyright.PENANALdcRMFNOAj
“Oh and just who is the naked woman going to be?”259Please respect copyright.PENANA3CHup7zJDr
259Please respect copyright.PENANAboyVhx8jqh
“Hmmm well she’s a bit stern but nice when your on her good side. She’s the same height as me but wears heels so often that she sees herself as the tallest one.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAt1c5eg5Vc2
259Please respect copyright.PENANAUNVIgekJPo
“I have no idea what your talking about.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAQTAVaYmYqk
259Please respect copyright.PENANAItlQzgUQKI
“Yes right she also won’t admit to things even when most of the time I'm right. She likes gardening and forcing me to bring all the plants back out when winter ends and when it begins. She likes to continuously watch me struggle at yoga.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAa931ty8gn8
259Please respect copyright.PENANAXYIdekfyXs
“Only because it's adorable.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAW3WlEVKuZd
259Please respect copyright.PENANAK4tv7aittN
“Mhm. Her hair gets really curly when it’s wet so she gets mad whenever i throw her into the pool or after i seduced her into shower sex.”259Please respect copyright.PENANABNGledoQv8
259Please respect copyright.PENANANj1A4vQAab
“It’s very annoying to deal with.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAyO8Zx3oZzP
259Please respect copyright.PENANAIf3QsqGWBs
“But like you said, it's ‘adorable’. She likes reading in the little spare time I give her and endlessly talking about the philosophy she studies just for fun.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANArO7KwatPMe
“Which is what I was trying to do earlier but someone just had too much energy to leave me be.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANACgbctVadYK
“It’s your fault for looking like you wanted to be bothered. And anyway, under the naked eye my woman has two tattoos. They’re fun things to trace after a night of fun activities.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAIo15k6H01q
259Please respect copyright.PENANARNVgZJrOsE
“Oh? And what are they? I might’ve seen them before.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAyl4v7hQOlq
“One is a sword with roses surrounding it on the side of her stomach. And the others are just thorns on the side of the upper right thigh. What are your favorite flowers in case I need to lighten up your day.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAYqQa4YDptx
259Please respect copyright.PENANAOFRmUbdCfk
“Ghost Orchids or any orchid maybe.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAf6liCdjUbd
I looked down at my phone, noting it to be almost nine. And with the sunset ending soon we’d be submerged in darkness since the park somehow doesn’t have lamps or anything, “Should we make our way back? I don’t want us to be here when it's dark out.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANA8WlhTtPFkw
“Only after you tell me who this woman is.”259Please respect copyright.PENANARP5tSWtXnW
259Please respect copyright.PENANAR1i5UKnQk9
I tried getting up but she pulled me back down and I was surprised she did so so easily. I scoffed and just laughed it off knowing the little things like this is why I love to bother her so much, “It’s just the amazing and intelligent Faye Candice Hart.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANABCIxdYbAo7
“Just?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAg7bTQrpDx5
259Please respect copyright.PENANAFU7uOoMOwm
“Oh will you just please.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAgbobTrWLVS
“Should I get up and curtsey?”259Please respect copyright.PENANASwzNvFoRu6
259Please respect copyright.PENANAVevEL9lnSL
“Whatever helps you sleep better at night honey.”
259Please respect copyright.PENANAPDDvZxvF6F
She snickered and pulled me in tighter, “I love you so much.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAUHYyFNajqo
259Please respect copyright.PENANA7a4C1BAcCf
“I love you too.”259Please respect copyright.PENANANULCicU3qN
259Please respect copyright.PENANAuRvu4MUT0Q
We both whipped our heads around to a sound far off in the distance and we took that as our cue to leave, “Lets go before your new friend sends out a search party for you. You do know she questioned me like I was under investigation before we left, right?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAblZc0PjntC
259Please respect copyright.PENANA0lbm6f82Bh
“Yes and it was absolutely hilarious.”
