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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKHwzaNRBC

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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSSbV3uNe6

“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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZRqDal0Rl

“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvXm19Emd
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKwFVqYARb
“For telling her?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTSmekoskH
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc4O5jdbt3
“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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ039mh2c5PY

“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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4VGL4Bzl
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0pzqr9JT3
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2d7dOT4Nn
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z1o9r88hJ
“Not for the support?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYL3VLcfq4
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxVUVODOWZ
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP4iVO5oil
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZbfXDHoC
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqdvCEZdJp

“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.”

“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.202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJSU79R16Q
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzyjJpNser
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk069xjCSmb
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNdhzXtuoa
“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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaHZTY3sF
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKG3a0cwd6
“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?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZV6vS6GvY
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwCNqX1HfZ
“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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEtGrWr1N5
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLenPYsGGM

“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. 202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmA7gUodTO
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nhxg03Rxj

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmNE4lYF8
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Pq9hO5AD
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpV21oP5IF
“...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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkHkyxD4D

“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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzU08G5HJ1
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZYT0JUdeB
“Thank you…”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgGrS9rGjU

She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9fQpu594P
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGlOYxSbBC
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBtmhE4ijo
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgYuYctf3X

202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt3VnRcfEe
“...If Faye is fine with it…”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2n0J020Q
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA6QLbiBPg
“Yes I am.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Jf6WZxO1
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNsEM2hSQU
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjerrF6OdN2
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOp6oRJow
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyIi4MQezI

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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3boz8Llt8
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxR9jkqj5
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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRevTtOKA
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbr0UN83tj
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzUPjoLE17
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCkT0kOpIU
“Shut up old man and hug me.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9pWLp4iqs
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ILvb5l6sx
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6TYCQfaSE
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.”202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEbj8mlov
