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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcxaTw4kOY

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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRX5HpgOXa

“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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoDxOInpBx
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQGk0lrw8K
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ezIZgZxd
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Md1Obbu7
“For telling her?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOYnNjenx
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5Z1jgOw0
“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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl13ZSTL5Jf
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuODiTFrlm
“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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg0XHM2ugL
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcS4zyObl9
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLr5rT1uhg
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGne6PQz6F
“Not for the support?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLOZWnpRUq
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQsYUViR0m
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94lGrTsTRS
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyRQrviAsM
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAMbiVRuYN
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00lOmYl8bz
“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AswIFJQ8E
“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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYmywbWoq6
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxcuba3uao
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbex8ZWORzs
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvSaH2Clcc
“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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4zPhDJHtU
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsUTkxeyYY
“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?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhdQKsso80
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtvy5DaHKf
“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybUxQ37bxm
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibZuLVS2vA

“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpaZhZTf1U
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. 243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZWepyM7B
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZD7TyCiMv
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvRvbIo0U

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5NbHZTd0d
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FB1pQdH2p
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2yr0qb1Jd
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kDRbPVNJ0
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ET6ckKePQ
“...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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1rT9o8Ll
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1E5w8TneB
“You have gotten better, yes?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VsmDRQavo
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh0BVhipb7
“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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZt8XHvET3
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUHn9NBpHi
“Thank you…”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS61QvgXZlL
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdWc3r4KK
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57J8pAAGP9
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IFHuTmtz
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rs1NqKChE
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZa3ecRBBg
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PHo8NCCkd
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTYGZAiSf7
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwmKLSoqLY
“...If Faye is fine with it…”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV0Dp324q9
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclY5i4pysU
“Yes I am.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PUZFg6s3
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqvkA28qDw
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6RKsWelFk
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdQ6LUGYTj
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WU3gQQNoc
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb9Ma0GdYL
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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDxkWXujgR
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ytL2v1Nxd
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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY0s3KBJBw
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuGNQTqser
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk3GeQd6Am
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBophivFY
“Shut up old man and hug me.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN4zBZ75hv
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NWPjqQcj0
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElk6eQ3I2h
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.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fPuH0OAql
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zBVIdDb9
“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eEtgbVMBs

“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.”
