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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGzj31Ib7I

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0zDU7XQ4k
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShLtTVjKlv
“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcE4Vw837O
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WizrJM7md
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QAEhNwKHX
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c5nZmUGmK
“For telling her?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DSTIA8ie
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOS9pPB00
“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUIo8NBXb
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCl1sNy2AX
“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqtiRdEYMC
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQSz8LFlVc
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHlBq6AXm0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS5fqxrJep
“Not for the support?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxfpWmyZJ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yVeNrncw
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpU6EaYk6I
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMXVJbYFE4
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqY12GbO5H
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMd5IArTP
“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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3a78TY3xX
“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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A7MMGvYBF
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIhKUIqlnx
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxg1BkSN3n
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHCxZmJGm
“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY8RsC0Dvj
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74SKAvo0Hq
“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?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSIhstMt5N
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7esy8T5bi
“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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3evBBuaPb
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVhNqvlc7o
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMVg4EGBiB
“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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOQ05tVb4D
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. 161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5631NByUNg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dm4c92Mu0
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSn6smwNVu

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0znYIfou
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUNptw5ffI
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBQRBmuELI
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01JUNghM4r
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0k87o6PS
“...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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ6rxsWZE0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QrYNbbCiL
“You have gotten better, yes?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wySOrFQGG
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUr3j9MPoi
“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq0ouf8mlh
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sD1kLjRl9
“Thank you…”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4GKrA2Ety
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrWHUu77o
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEho3HfNGna
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0TFWXgvbu
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGs4q4qYTR
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5HkkdCO3V
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DQqhiUmK
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxDCchHjOl
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWWubqNhhj
“...If Faye is fine with it…”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqxSKOsPIV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN8Wm55361
“Yes I am.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAQkdMhAeB
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AhBc8bQXe
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9ksIM3VH
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5UHRMX012
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3p77NhNM
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKNVn1oDW6
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvl3RG3goH
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I5OtUW942
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZISEgHCs5e
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBR2KiLc3U
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IRpEEOta6
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq5dZXAGfN
“Shut up old man and hug me.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FbtbNf2Ru
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OCWbD99ci
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYPXsGixuB
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNfnOy9zLy

“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.”
