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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIqcuGbbl4

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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO4aNKMPaq

“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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkran9XbQqH
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvblTm9f2k
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPc8HgWgJm
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA77uOHlqwF
“For telling her?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMuUwkfO2d
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SXI0acWtp
“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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFAqx2uce4
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedTSLP3MYu
“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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7jVayzalH
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80gaWLMhuY
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe82CATKQm0
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AlC1rZQl
“Not for the support?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetr9bfeIJc
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpUGdynFOg
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHquj4mljFG
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIttdZFqP9
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzV5lwDYNX
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoZK4NWx9m
“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.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYxWKz0GlG
“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.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqf6lB2Rgz
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrW34Ppqqb
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEAHv94sL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcfEDMUzVU
“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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbtn7qPQP
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCIrUclFbJ
“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?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLCanQSgDu
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXc9s3aKCZ
“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.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdINSiAiw
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYXmhdUQj

“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.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3JO8bOx1
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. 244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyW2tWjDs
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cevE0z7D0
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo0QFcrMnW

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ997eViw2KS
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g7btPyVRM
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxN7ImtdRd
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGoVImOjt0
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3baHNhlgcr
“...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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBjliOcUGF
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dC6vO33lz
“You have gotten better, yes?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU6CHqv7uG
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcPKRw3spB
“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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDI2Qn50rJ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2tnPv9j4k
“Thank you…”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzNcIp3TIq
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHe8IfAobA
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX2a6Kl633
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLByUBKEDo2
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmPxyomYne
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmWqUTPAJ3

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLTkLyba9
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM3hJmldux
“...If Faye is fine with it…”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNuJsA2uFe
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFrmAuSJaX
“Yes I am.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxfnrLCeXI
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiStDOmYgiu
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3F9wKgKq2
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqSPGhwIKq
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHB9BdXtwt
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufl8c26ij
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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Yj2kaXGL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfYpc04C68
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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9piVPiVAHF
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7Rhoqmos
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeioMFwbnm
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFKeGJJCvo
“Shut up old man and hug me.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPhA3QdN8Y
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgQzMrLUU7
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8hyWOyMU8
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.”244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqepa5zRol

“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.”
