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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9S0i4N9yA

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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgjtPKutTs

“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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMnjSBq1zj
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLy5riYpET
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8MTgHjNV
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOxAVCGLCT
“For telling her?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLYwVCSSIi
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd1MIyyDSh
“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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcWVvwuyfC

“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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OyPnbaNNp
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOgptnPHPV
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSGoVQnzP3
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN3Pj3dn95
“Not for the support?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSMnmFc5XL
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX5jMZxXy7
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwj7gl1KNq
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gtDmWYfRi
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJyqiq1cKX
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCG2OsDpxJ
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24RBlegeex
“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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlwdyNOdAU
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BNhei2zYd
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiqdRx1KcY
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOnh74ew4O
“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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGnbwtgUF
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNBZLpg8dB
“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?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1c1wOVo4y
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMofcl5gmfD
“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.”

“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiePLVH5iky

“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. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlf6MgzadH
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsSFVqGXD
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gvJwozG2d

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K6h0014WM
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkdUo6iiJC
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6g07sgjHI
“...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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdiAvmHH2N

“You have gotten better, yes?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7z732f6K5

“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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIFukOQz02
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPD27YNTzA
“Thank you…”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQOAIv2lw
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bzOWsVBv6
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFl7bpzCKt
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMZDVQM5K
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxeHqLQhZl
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ncRPgvFW

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1APbT1O4JS

“...If Faye is fine with it…”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvG41zhw5
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpkfrhC5LT
“Yes I am.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmfpreJJh
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjekBDbol
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kigtSh0FH
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2krbglgoDf
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNiI9J2m0I

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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYIl1pCjI
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLARYe86lr
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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmfzUrWyt
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lTMPrvwda
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVsFPEIp5C
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNAoD7xwTS
“Shut up old man and hug me.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JzNWrHncv
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HpIvPTXg6
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qmp6iyqS5
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.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz262zZEOg4
