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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAEO2T9tPEeY
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXrusxVMVZX
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.”

“We're only a short walk from the apartment so why not.”120Please respect copyright.PENANANVfYsnTsGF

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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAMijzxkpgDK
120Please respect copyright.PENANAh8dk10xnXT
“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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAIIvF5ixGEu
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwWIbvZtta8
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAYz2apXFb1s
120Please respect copyright.PENANA82FofVSDuP
“For telling her?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAvoIWRDUoQN
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3rRfmXTAtx
“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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAtafh8O6hZx
120Please respect copyright.PENANAazzARKd7aK
“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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA68I5FYBrWs
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVzRQLjCFdZ
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ruf76anZR
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2WVPGz7zi3
“Not for the support?”120Please respect copyright.PENANANmHAakJLn0
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4ACEYyrdDw
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAGkgJ4GS7ya
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZP7QKFQYAX
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAALPP4cDmXu
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYsIORgC04d
“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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAf0QI3RwQhi
“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.120Please respect copyright.PENANAED2bartOeB
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEkuFL2Wfd4
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAFSOLXGRbOH
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAiYA110TV6
“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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAIjqoFLSP9O
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgZwZChxhLs
“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?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAAiOx6ehPsW
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXBKCJpH1Z7
“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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANASPoBRot3YS
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA0AL4F5hRSf
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4fgp95phkx
“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.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAf8MGxPdnus
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. 120Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZlbZqBQ09
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYD3M2aVAaP
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”120Please respect copyright.PENANADKuRP4yV7v

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”120Please respect copyright.PENANANCSGSBXRmU
120Please respect copyright.PENANAj4enpukVuR
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANASxADxEVA1h
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAxIsBRlGD2P
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJTcKPzUXLV
“...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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAjCnXYRFE5P
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWmWp8tUSIK
“You have gotten better, yes?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAQJalfvGANE
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcoRrXdeKIi
“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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANACvDJ6CKtC9
120Please respect copyright.PENANALfPm9eKtkX
“Thank you…”120Please respect copyright.PENANArjXFjRzNMK
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0e8h34WFp9
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAmiIRLK6z4y
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4azPSxbEqK
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFNtmsCWBWK
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAWDm0nE280u
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4QlXdTjJMA
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAgiL5U4w9Q6
120Please respect copyright.PENANAufo0u9H2gS
“...If Faye is fine with it…”120Please respect copyright.PENANAECmydYSz1j
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmYfmXrMBVh
“Yes I am.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAbJdRHINMRk
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3KOIzxAKqK
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAwXDWy0o4bA
120Please respect copyright.PENANABnb2tfvS6t
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAtoQy9jNSJp
120Please respect copyright.PENANARkWHvrqUOe
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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAIajkjihHsS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUAJLw7Qvdh
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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAGnjeOrEAfY
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOLROEGvqSF
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAuDxSJKCxfa
120Please respect copyright.PENANAphYvgW4nyG
“Shut up old man and hug me.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAkDZaEX29YA
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKnqGWqOEke
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.
120Please respect copyright.PENANADNxmSaOm35
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.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA1sf3GYa9zv

“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAR2v7ljlNPN

“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.”
