Leaving the kitchen and into the living room I pushed Mia’s feet off the couch to sit next to her. The baffled look she gave me almost made me burst out laughing but I held it in, “Want some?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAl2DAO3Fi5p
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvpB70j3IRK
She groaned and crossed her arms, obviously annoyed with me, “Why can’t you just leave me alone. I got the stupid measurements for the stupid dress. I was even cordial whenever you talked to me.”282Please respect copyright.PENANANpashb9PPD
282Please respect copyright.PENANAzWOolzNMYi
“Saying only yes or no isn’t being cordial. I don’t want you to be a robot but you shouldn’t be a little asshole either.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Vhb8zj9e
“Why are you even doing all of this? We are not related at all.”282Please respect copyright.PENANABiGffGBOxO
282Please respect copyright.PENANARN6qh9GlG1
“Doesn’t mean we can’t get along. Plus I know this is all a facade. You genuinely are nice and especially because of your dad.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAZiHQnizKEV
282Please respect copyright.PENANALVPPbx1C1K
“What does that mean? I’m my own person.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAr7FMIGgWjy
282Please respect copyright.PENANATwM2X0wEgf
I sighed and put down my plate, sad that I didn't make more. I mean who doesn’t like midday waffles, “Yes but we get most of our traits from our parents whether we like it or not. You are kind. Even though you don’t want my mom to see and act like a little shit to me, I notice the nice little gestures you do after only being here for a day.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANApMqRSMpZD3
“So your stalking?”282Please respect copyright.PENANA4G4v8QJgYY
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYZftqA8HHV
“No, just observant. People who are hiding something from a certain someone only look out for them and not the other people who may see what they're doing.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqgn5zNAPyd
“Yea yea I need a lecture right now. They don’t even notice it.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAxcDPYt1wLo
282Please respect copyright.PENANAXaSiUm3Z8m
“Because you don’t want them to. I grew up without my parents. Even though I was fine it was tough. Don’t push them away just because Mia,” She pushed herself further into the couch and quietly pondered to herself. I wasn’t sure how long she’d continue keeping to herself, “So are we on equal playing fields now?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAjD5XW4TbuJ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAzAeQrjP3HR
“Sure you can say that.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAX2KeckRalQ
282Please respect copyright.PENANATfvYxBLbeE
“I’m glad doing this worked. I had another plan that wouldn’t lead to you being happy.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAQij2TxqJ5u
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1p0FTej81P
“Do I even want to know?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAhvO9ZrXquU
“Nope but it had a lot more lectures involved,” I got up and stretched then bent over to pick my plate up, “I’m gonna go find Faye and see what she’s been up to.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAjiKLXCVxhE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAaHwyBmMcrK
I was walking off to the kitchen and stopped when I heard her say, “Are you gonna go dress shopping while your here too?”282Please respect copyright.PENANArleYfHvKxd
282Please respect copyright.PENANAjsnWwmBiBC
A smile formed on my lips, not one that was smug or anything, “I don’t see why not. You wanna come with me and mom?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAOaRVG86J5t
282Please respect copyright.PENANAszBNCVtrhc
“Yea,” And that right there is progress.

I huddled closer to Faye feeling wind tickle up under the length of my dress. She placed an arm around me as we both looked into the distance. We sat in comfortable silence only watching the sunset after having walked to and around the park, “The view is so nice. Wouldn’t mind waking up to this and a naked woman beside me.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAsVryScwFIk
282Please respect copyright.PENANAM5e39M3iXC
“Oh and just who is the naked woman going to be?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAr51dLcSQu5
282Please respect copyright.PENANAGJg9D10rkO
“Hmmm well she’s a bit stern but nice when your on her good side. She’s the same height as me but wears heels so often that she sees herself as the tallest one.”282Please respect copyright.PENANA3ir333Ucst
282Please respect copyright.PENANAIne0MOq9HY
“I have no idea what your talking about.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAqeymzIV2cV
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zl8zfjGJx
“Yes right she also won’t admit to things even when most of the time I'm right. She likes gardening and forcing me to bring all the plants back out when winter ends and when it begins. She likes to continuously watch me struggle at yoga.”282Please respect copyright.PENANADUrSLNKMnt
282Please respect copyright.PENANAD5dktd4Phq
“Only because it's adorable.”282Please respect copyright.PENANArFasu4yXVy
282Please respect copyright.PENANAAiInLrjDMX
“Mhm. Her hair gets really curly when it’s wet so she gets mad whenever i throw her into the pool or after i seduced her into shower sex.”282Please respect copyright.PENANADpgStrfIRK
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4NPhkSmZ1Q
“It’s very annoying to deal with.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAeUJHvqIc0W
282Please respect copyright.PENANAp5Z7zSilHZ
“But like you said, it's ‘adorable’. She likes reading in the little spare time I give her and endlessly talking about the philosophy she studies just for fun.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAOYDWblnzzn
“Which is what I was trying to do earlier but someone just had too much energy to leave me be.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAXGxKNj6Yvb
“It’s your fault for looking like you wanted to be bothered. And anyway, under the naked eye my woman has two tattoos. They’re fun things to trace after a night of fun activities.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAMzg635vgDh
282Please respect copyright.PENANAMxzactctiJ
“Oh? And what are they? I might’ve seen them before.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqYCMf9TdsL
“One is a sword with roses surrounding it on the side of her stomach. And the others are just thorns on the side of the upper right thigh. What are your favorite flowers in case I need to lighten up your day.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAteAbFOnGc5
282Please respect copyright.PENANAiZBmWEgABp
“Ghost Orchids or any orchid maybe.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwC5Ol4GGkX
I looked down at my phone, noting it to be almost nine. And with the sunset ending soon we’d be submerged in darkness since the park somehow doesn’t have lamps or anything, “Should we make our way back? I don’t want us to be here when it's dark out.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvqeu5c144u
“Only after you tell me who this woman is.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAH4slZCYypF
282Please respect copyright.PENANA7NvxsUlbhl
I tried getting up but she pulled me back down and I was surprised she did so so easily. I scoffed and just laughed it off knowing the little things like this is why I love to bother her so much, “It’s just the amazing and intelligent Faye Candice Hart.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAEmSlVRWWKl
“Just?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAZFQhy5NFnv
282Please respect copyright.PENANAk2glsdy0ZA
“Oh will you just please.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4OlflixMgb
“Should I get up and curtsey?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAgfhGmnLWlK
282Please respect copyright.PENANAei6PBlhL6G
“Whatever helps you sleep better at night honey.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAAMq0XHP9wW
She snickered and pulled me in tighter, “I love you so much.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAfMVy9nQwqD
282Please respect copyright.PENANAPgrFb25sng
“I love you too.”282Please respect copyright.PENANAUu3mqDBlxy
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqDIH5gkn8O
We both whipped our heads around to a sound far off in the distance and we took that as our cue to leave, “Lets go before your new friend sends out a search party for you. You do know she questioned me like I was under investigation before we left, right?”282Please respect copyright.PENANAnM8KLHT8fb
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4EwW4kzOKZ
“Yes and it was absolutely hilarious.”
