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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r8j3o3Ejl

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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqQZOJYp1A

“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12slSs3xND
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nnIBBxU9i
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmaEUi8cNL
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq2Xwy73By
“For telling her?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyRrhwTL6F
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokkFeiooM
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaFKSGpmK

“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvwZItsQlj
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxzuOMWVJm
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmvj1Km0Bo
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYXJHiETw
“Not for the support?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiWgU2Amtz
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8hQzMjFiM
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHdWemWyZH
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghtqcAeS1i
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeWhLraFDx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R7uayuEUH
“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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrguurEVO
“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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQvQEJXY5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsjbg4dT8U
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJnC1ZZm2u
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf9GfhIKdt
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJUCU33KHy
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8EODIr9Ci
“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?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgKC9pDsY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JQuzrEo6
“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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSaCtnzvGR
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Dav3MWhJ

“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. 227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSHf5wMbZe
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IWl7SkW8V
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ay95dHL9F

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBFK1djdq
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVDmaaiQud
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJ8xqeQID
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZfD87gvKa
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvudGE2fyE6
“...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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwb6cacuY1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkU7dP7ab2
“You have gotten better, yes?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXL3jJ7kPP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUIsR7uxZ
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUPgSOGmfr
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwPmXtMUgu
“Thank you…”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlOzxjG0wB
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z5YhhBRF4
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4uDy1kAqN
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zKkppTMX
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwCk30Bvtc
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXv6n1pqFd
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdqfAie6g2
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5nSMwyJhM
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPJ5iyKhy4
“...If Faye is fine with it…”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVQdNESpr
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OE3sZY15Z
“Yes I am.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLYRNdUdi5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxau6cp1Kz
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTueSNisMfe
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YnPSAwn8c
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNUr4TfwL2
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfR4sWBhxT
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMUUeJnhP3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p19xLu7VW
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR1mOotf8w
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4YQ8wt8OX
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2h0JHgylE
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipUIsMaZ7R
“Shut up old man and hug me.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5GHlA1xu9
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYMfiDy0Qk
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO04dMTUa9o
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sA4YPBljz
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdIBnO7vX
“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBZwuLu3bj
