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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadHwXzJRer

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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuOGNCl8w7

“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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4VpIrUn5Y

“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb6xnjLL0b
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqMTbQvJx5
“For telling her?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghSQauqJpU
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR60mF4Uda
“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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys56KiALWp

“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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVOvNlH8PM
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBI8dHsyXu
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSbBdERP3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj3iDRMJUP
“Not for the support?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEcDaC9ut
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxuF9ZYEUC
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi0RrIc57I
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwT938cjWz
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhyXK1hT2d
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtrNbpx7IM
“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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNWVoR1mmV
“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.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyFjfRls7K
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBoPw4tZM
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFlrRIrpEF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAEd3vMIr
“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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJWgneTpWv
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXcKfawesT
“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?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QjUwlyqQP
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj8bbd7Aiy
“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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mD0rC4vJr
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7JNZeaH5v

“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. 203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7f3fDEx7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti5AKX0Qki
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1tTChPs49

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGNKuHA9Ki
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZwFkOXDDn
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRpc3WGMzG
“...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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwbgmxH1m

“You have gotten better, yes?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk1h3ShmbC

“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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVpYGF47G
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIMCqiV0o
“Thank you…”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHWpEh0eqD
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV04g2JWFq
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8nakBMjgj
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xhRxJtPbj
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ81Al6CHq6
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Bt3raTis

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCjW8HgHEJ
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzM452ZKpd
“...If Faye is fine with it…”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRQQHac7su
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHURAwBCPPt
“Yes I am.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMevaruD7mT
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKI7Yzhcl
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlsdvji4wE
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQPzI2r2m
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJTVcoEER
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTks4ktaWn
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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmZckIoYV
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSEBAaNXW
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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0nytygqB7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwaQLGoHyF
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7eQpLuyYF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2qts4Ne9V
“Shut up old man and hug me.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhOKnohhD7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovdjza8ITg
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu84VSWdUZ
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.”203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvLNzYS5tU
