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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0TLev1NG7

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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHxy1NxX4v

“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy7sapvGgh
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJSurpZcaR
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggQfkKoS3
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRF3DBHVaa
“For telling her?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wQQWgB88w
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH6BDZbhob
“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeoai7ngi
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Q8t2xV1q
“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQa9OZdBGo
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYrA8fAk2
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFWi7VAog
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBToGQVQcL
“Not for the support?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ZFviBZxz
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPEAQntLfF
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhCeyb9Xw3
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ6nVE870t
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Q80oLanR
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtyutngWVO
“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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcej1sJvjvX
“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.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VaYj1g2Gc
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40vkHPt89
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMqVC8pkx
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNCqKHcG8O
“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUFtLQii2
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFmgqtKgO
“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?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3D5aUKGF6
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqLpHcx3HY
“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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4jCblUJM
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HCInklJO

“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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHw7zye42j
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUgDVC4frk
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsHrrMubWQ

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiu1XSScZK
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1emJuCS7N
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ac5EDEkL
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswXOoWdSDI
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2euVPpkrN
“...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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOSjkNVpwb
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8BCuY7GMf
“You have gotten better, yes?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSro5SweIP
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxZyWI4oX7
“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fjs8pMKCY
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHoaNCF3Io
“Thank you…”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqBG8sbpY
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4l2qBOZb
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrAGUa5B8P
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94MVvJtgmd
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw9yH7F1kp
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Roe4Eo0lu

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmstxPNz7A
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0bR9arVF
“...If Faye is fine with it…”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cHLZ7dW28
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LBVGwrnp
“Yes I am.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIRG64G0yp
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UwYj5kikS
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ZpdVexAl
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH9OXjcaok
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HHvwjZh38
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivqZmXfS0
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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxSeqPgcUP
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoziM5V5yz
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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrgJhqSBDC
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRe6f3G2Bp
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnPhHWJ27
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PA46JwMJ1
“Shut up old man and hug me.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5rt7107A
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3lNyyz0C
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE7eKJEsha
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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaZNTgQO8f
