Leaving the kitchen and into the living room I pushed Mia’s feet off the couch to sit next to her. The baffled look she gave me almost made me burst out laughing but I held it in, “Want some?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7xgHp6phIt
139Please respect copyright.PENANALmPLY7dvVO
She groaned and crossed her arms, obviously annoyed with me, “Why can’t you just leave me alone. I got the stupid measurements for the stupid dress. I was even cordial whenever you talked to me.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAxEQJGn9MEp
139Please respect copyright.PENANAdIhuKKPHip
“Saying only yes or no isn’t being cordial. I don’t want you to be a robot but you shouldn’t be a little asshole either.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAsci4Hj2TKP
“Why are you even doing all of this? We are not related at all.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAsJTD4Xd6vp
139Please respect copyright.PENANAs0PWlUQkC7
“Doesn’t mean we can’t get along. Plus I know this is all a facade. You genuinely are nice and especially because of your dad.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAzLkqcsz1zg
139Please respect copyright.PENANA9XBYzsv0uG
“What does that mean? I’m my own person.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7B67OVpNnK
139Please respect copyright.PENANANiOXp6vNnf
I sighed and put down my plate, sad that I didn't make more. I mean who doesn’t like midday waffles, “Yes but we get most of our traits from our parents whether we like it or not. You are kind. Even though you don’t want my mom to see and act like a little shit to me, I notice the nice little gestures you do after only being here for a day.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAHJOPKVAoKF
“So your stalking?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAixiNJGaNyu
139Please respect copyright.PENANAvSjI8jnMyZ
“No, just observant. People who are hiding something from a certain someone only look out for them and not the other people who may see what they're doing.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAOTASVpdv6z
“Yea yea I need a lecture right now. They don’t even notice it.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA0qVjlgZuBQ
139Please respect copyright.PENANAMz3a0VR7Hl
“Because you don’t want them to. I grew up without my parents. Even though I was fine it was tough. Don’t push them away just because Mia,” She pushed herself further into the couch and quietly pondered to herself. I wasn’t sure how long she’d continue keeping to herself, “So are we on equal playing fields now?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAXyddpH87G6
139Please respect copyright.PENANAjChDunxezS
“Sure you can say that.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAh6KRdGfBiJ
139Please respect copyright.PENANANWjVMfFJ53
“I’m glad doing this worked. I had another plan that wouldn’t lead to you being happy.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAF5tJIUHKNV
139Please respect copyright.PENANASjDyfObX1j
“Do I even want to know?”
139Please respect copyright.PENANA0pO8M0YvUf
“Nope but it had a lot more lectures involved,” I got up and stretched then bent over to pick my plate up, “I’m gonna go find Faye and see what she’s been up to.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAwZMjS1rolB
139Please respect copyright.PENANAM1eIVkOfiA
I was walking off to the kitchen and stopped when I heard her say, “Are you gonna go dress shopping while your here too?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAy97kpD70KM
139Please respect copyright.PENANARwd7bKkixh
A smile formed on my lips, not one that was smug or anything, “I don’t see why not. You wanna come with me and mom?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAfDGEtSOk3h
139Please respect copyright.PENANAZmzNQwgzrc
“Yea,” And that right there is progress.

I huddled closer to Faye feeling wind tickle up under the length of my dress. She placed an arm around me as we both looked into the distance. We sat in comfortable silence only watching the sunset after having walked to and around the park, “The view is so nice. Wouldn’t mind waking up to this and a naked woman beside me.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1QkwIJS9e
139Please respect copyright.PENANAUfoK5GfQQa
“Oh and just who is the naked woman going to be?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAiG7F2tVjpj
139Please respect copyright.PENANAMsIpRO73QY
“Hmmm well she’s a bit stern but nice when your on her good side. She’s the same height as me but wears heels so often that she sees herself as the tallest one.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAIQRdU6BZ9M
139Please respect copyright.PENANAOwmS3cyxpn
“I have no idea what your talking about.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAlICo1Jv9wo
139Please respect copyright.PENANAbcWfJAerWe
“Yes right she also won’t admit to things even when most of the time I'm right. She likes gardening and forcing me to bring all the plants back out when winter ends and when it begins. She likes to continuously watch me struggle at yoga.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAyIj9PqxUIY
139Please respect copyright.PENANASUj0uLeaao
“Only because it's adorable.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAyCT9CuxvG6
139Please respect copyright.PENANArw0ojo2CgV
“Mhm. Her hair gets really curly when it’s wet so she gets mad whenever i throw her into the pool or after i seduced her into shower sex.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAYidOCqoaxZ
139Please respect copyright.PENANAOYwQvBi0Hv
“It’s very annoying to deal with.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAdldH4Rtlew
139Please respect copyright.PENANARbgkNhsFgy
“But like you said, it's ‘adorable’. She likes reading in the little spare time I give her and endlessly talking about the philosophy she studies just for fun.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAMwJfHndoJ1
“Which is what I was trying to do earlier but someone just had too much energy to leave me be.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANA0GRlz8mGzi
“It’s your fault for looking like you wanted to be bothered. And anyway, under the naked eye my woman has two tattoos. They’re fun things to trace after a night of fun activities.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAXUtq5OEcVj
139Please respect copyright.PENANASyPzp7Wwyp
“Oh? And what are they? I might’ve seen them before.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANA1mse6DT8SM
“One is a sword with roses surrounding it on the side of her stomach. And the others are just thorns on the side of the upper right thigh. What are your favorite flowers in case I need to lighten up your day.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAXcQ8bN1tld
139Please respect copyright.PENANAYORmNfQVqd
“Ghost Orchids or any orchid maybe.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAVBqobKfqka
I looked down at my phone, noting it to be almost nine. And with the sunset ending soon we’d be submerged in darkness since the park somehow doesn’t have lamps or anything, “Should we make our way back? I don’t want us to be here when it's dark out.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAqpb2lsTAvz
“Only after you tell me who this woman is.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAxKKvazJWtX
139Please respect copyright.PENANAALmcOwakux
I tried getting up but she pulled me back down and I was surprised she did so so easily. I scoffed and just laughed it off knowing the little things like this is why I love to bother her so much, “It’s just the amazing and intelligent Faye Candice Hart.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANA3vZSFKysOV
“Just?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAeoGxrqNgop
139Please respect copyright.PENANA5EuAlox4AZ
“Oh will you just please.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAk8vub9JOWx
“Should I get up and curtsey?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAE1R3jfI2jT
139Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZLAIw4G6F
“Whatever helps you sleep better at night honey.”
139Please respect copyright.PENANAdnHB2kwU6u
She snickered and pulled me in tighter, “I love you so much.”139Please respect copyright.PENANABQ3YLlrmKP
139Please respect copyright.PENANAwoH2WhX4Vq
“I love you too.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAew2FhlhKd5
139Please respect copyright.PENANALU8uU3vR1G
We both whipped our heads around to a sound far off in the distance and we took that as our cue to leave, “Lets go before your new friend sends out a search party for you. You do know she questioned me like I was under investigation before we left, right?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA9qwBsuHcuZ
139Please respect copyright.PENANAhTgCYzUfgN
“Yes and it was absolutely hilarious.”
