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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMruNaX99c

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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0PZJsQEI7

“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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvikSjUDTc
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Cw4oviFt
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iEoKBGL1L
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRGWvCdOyV
“For telling her?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33PFb6mqSt
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXLin2xEhf
“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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jjj1l1CVb
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh9s0MErc8
“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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCbhXP65DX
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aSLEwZJtF
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TeqS6COI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EnGdVQhB
“Not for the support?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZNmYQ29I
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5A64f7zC3
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B4h8FOZJf
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOwNP4X0ZL
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv7bvsDTXK
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWptSDqFyqj
“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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7Xa9uup9
“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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr8hwEOBKG
“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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPsGgF5Tzm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaSPvs1kYk
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJodSmO741s
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflt9V9lopX
“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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IzPszrctE
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkB9YnQLE
“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?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFtTiUVB1A
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxbFCGxV5J
“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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gLlnC8Rw
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfCRaH7Ojy
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQGpDBN3v
“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.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaFULgDgjk
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. 282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2Yf9f4Sq
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEk7zwVl5E
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBswsDsHfvl

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT1w8mi7g7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBwhwYZ1YK
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbY9rmwkiD
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGVBoErxS9
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCerfQ5lIUJ
“...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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwSH6y3Dzz
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUyUijybVS
“You have gotten better, yes?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVLclbDSNS
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zENgog6g
“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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jl6ialnx4
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusYa8Oftbr
“Thank you…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRSDUqmH8F
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UIQ0f9bDn
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W2NXNwbam
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlr2QSyyZx
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QpqvmM9WG
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo6oDak84t
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9iaDwy0Bs
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWG0tK6W4e
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr5woqxLdY
“...If Faye is fine with it…”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAomTDzmrX
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz9gU9GAUd
“Yes I am.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAKFk3bJF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwk9Ncqgqi
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7y9vTYsmV
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqOosKrgKx
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjxBHMiRG0
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS67TZIbYua
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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQTD1aqEe7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LiAHeOFIh
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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcufZ70TUO
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIXSUt2rpR
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfoy6CvFsu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SxjQh95y
“Shut up old man and hug me.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f6XZpTP3H
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP6uHyCMqc
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8XsgRwnEz
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.”282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkyHXfbGVw
