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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWl2oPD3j

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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UllLB1j0W

“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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOkk22d8a
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPgT0zVRRc
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5adpHfoDJr
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj37bMTjkB
“For telling her?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct3bPnZ1Fr
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hp4MIkhwB
“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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRRaeYPE8N

“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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpHoQwXvlL
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7W2atqZ3G
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW9NRSQQAz
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE6Puk0wY4
“Not for the support?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbPyJ9NzOb
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc6dTjB9Jk
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxh3gCqbT5
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLliD3AFT
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtOs78dSN
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakq3Xh7xVN
“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.”
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BOXH5GRHY
“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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9A3Otp624
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ejMR8yul
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzVVVFQh1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4oRjAkgjx
“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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOQDSYOYAJ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV31x3aWyQE
“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?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb7ANaKWfK
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BqIUnjcqV
“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.”
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQimYaar1uh
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg4quElnQu

“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWabNLlxZ4Q
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow5nDlrpyB
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIvYIIJjET

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeAiSY5DqB
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vI0vdbAuf
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZJwoPPN1A
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSW2v5vHk
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzhVWmEceJ
“...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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn9T9FF8eH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5W38wwx73
“You have gotten better, yes?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uxT9liVl
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCkpj0r5o3
“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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5AxPVh5mb
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt07FAnJ5a
“Thank you…”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtvEAsjwQ3
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5npU52JSE
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi757yHKuY
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrtpQZDf6R
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGi33LQ6br
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfRu644TJX

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBVZwveRyt
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHU8jZ38Y
“...If Faye is fine with it…”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKirMRvDrGN
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTJGjU9H58
“Yes I am.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFtFpxrYw
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BFWZU0hX
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVWKjcycI
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nFFyhDItZ
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkrYtQjW6C
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77j9xKp3Cg
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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuSSFUpk2V
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMytcKf8T6
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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMpkPMyD8
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEI7KTSZza
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wSS6GHDdT
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdVKiZcYh
“Shut up old man and hug me.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgYCM7nTuK
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzcQETBuVT
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.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeB3q3CGnH
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.”287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3wEdaNKeM
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Yjup5DVI
