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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGCQuXc9q

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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHi1OPeBox

“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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWxfjW9HF
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4J5NH7WPN
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfM1MFlnWa
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VmoJMOKzG
“For telling her?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWX125D3k
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pd9RJMzI0
“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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8N93kikN
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoQDmO6PFg
“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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5xe8vn6lW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbN7Iu0zw4
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJR0wMGUfQ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCfOyxOVN
“Not for the support?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIZ8arfCWa
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrY8Fb099L
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BHlkHX7ce
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhexgWMTSQH
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef1dvd8qH7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJadFvwkM3
“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.”
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemyzOgAP7r
“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.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEZeH0F4qA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh71Re2786
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrTa6dHuX
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgbDtufvmM
“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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKnlOBrYy9
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeqn2HirHw
“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?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpZnAX3r4A
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMyPFvtzZH
“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.”
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0tO6QKqnz
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV68Bj3r5xK
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2rrwjAc8K
“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.”
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN4dtw0PjY
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. 245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdtpGUngt
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtX6bwpSGS
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAPIInTdXR

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35atB8Z7w5
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZykrMQPQcs
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf4G94HCSU
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIEi0iRuID
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfWkzT5re6
“...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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wtvinDwV
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFG4EgwO1J
“You have gotten better, yes?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZjSpL5f7M
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbpgsuzmj
“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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZe25Invt7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAbub3Is7s
“Thank you…”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEhUSm5Uwc
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbUuSFO9uU
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWIa6sCWJW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1UfIrYmFn
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPfUOCTrNz
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaaSHCl3BU

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW1OO5WMXk
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0bZDgjPF
“...If Faye is fine with it…”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDcHaTqL6F
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nQuW3dKsw
“Yes I am.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t7CMnl4Zz
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ1Sv36ymm
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauPGAGdJKC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1owitqtmjD
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxa2MTlX2M
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWQmukfbJs
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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w7qlRV8Si
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5AiWSj7e
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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKpAki3li
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjT8RYVrO
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Gd8u5szE
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5T4qDWRgH
“Shut up old man and hug me.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRAlEaY6ey
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEuvdUY81P
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.
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1mUdGjNfc
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.”245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2RBdushuv

“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.”
