She stared gawking at me as i continued to write down our regulars for Ms. Wren, “Did your aunt not have the bees and bird talk with you?”415Please respect copyright.PENANAHRrZ4A0jWY
415Please respect copyright.PENANAX2GicmVYOe
I crunched my nose looking back to the screen to see the name again before focusing on her question, “What does that have to do with what I told you?”415Please respect copyright.PENANASVxdkDdTlK

“Cleo, honey, you innocent little chick. That sounded like a date.”415Please respect copyright.PENANA22UhRAotCG

I stopped myself from writing , not recognizing what happened on Thursday, to sound like, “But it wasn't.”415Please respect copyright.PENANA8z7RZu177V

“Maybe not in your eyes but out of the few times i’ve had nice dates. I can surely recognize one better than when I was a virgin like yourself.”415Please respect copyright.PENANACUtQw33l3q

I swat Cherry knowing i wasn’t the only one who heard that even with her unpractised silent screaming, “Hey! I’m not a virgin and keep your voice down dammit.”415Please respect copyright.PENANAFHJ2paqaRz

“Jenny was just some fling for you. I even tried to talk you out of it but noooo. Someone just reeeeally wanted to get such a honorable aspect out the way of their life,” How can she remember that woman's name more than me? Oh right that's because she remembers things just to throw them back in my face later.

“It has been exactly two weeks. Cherry, all I did was take her to the moon spot after paying for my pizza.”415Please respect copyright.PENANACjJF5VgZXe

“Ah ah ah you left out something. First you gave her your jacket under the night sky and got on one knee putting your boots onto her,” I just didn’t want her to accidentally break her ankle or complain about how cold it was which she still did, “ And time never matters Cleo. People have fallen in love in less than a day.”415Please respect copyright.PENANAKwt1d2xZKc
415Please respect copyright.PENANASCyUx8Nl2K
I was about to retaliate having just finished some listings but Cherry shushes me, “I’m not saying this is a bad thing. I would love to see you happy. But you need to see it first with your oh so young eyes,” I groan truly not seeing any context in what i’ve done; all she’s done is confuse the things i’ve felt even more, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have managerial things to do.”

“Please don’t be, the bitch was with me for my money. But i made sure she got nothing out of our settlement,” Ok lady why are you telling me this. What am I supposed to say after that? Oh god please Cherry bring your butt back over here.

“That my dear can only be answered if you say yes,” Ok so this woman should just be painted red just to alarm anyone in passing, “ I’d hate for you to lose your talented sister but it would be a major gain for me,” She walks past Ms. Wren bumps her slightly.

“No problem. I could smell her fake ass perfume from the doorway. And if she does not immediately come to my office, then that must mean she’s torturing someone. Though i will say you should ask her about what she does. She may have a few fake things but the money she does make is really as shady as that sounds.”
