I sat down with my plate happily about to devour the food until a certain someone nudged me from behind, “Can’t I have a peaceful break? I’m hungry and Steven was not busy enough to make my supreme nachos and cheese.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Te8ch6ee

“We work at such an expensive restaurant and the one thing you get to eat isn’t even on the menu. Like really? All he did was put it in the microwave,” She was all smiles while sitting down next to me. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZzDdkEWZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimzu0R6ix6
“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLW4X815Hf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqcOIs1Tj
Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6uTTmyh6R
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxphO1uu5D
“What do you mean?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeHMZED9QI

“Don’t worry, I didn't see it either. But Janice, the new girl, said this girl has brunette hair and ‘gorgeous’ green eyes. Her hetero was showing and it was god awful that she started and convo like that. She was nice and respectful though when I mentioned my preferen-”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQY8ppqou
I sighed, smacking her shoulder, “Stay on track blabbermouth.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWH3YEfl6x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXliYMNfAe
“Well excuuuuuse me. Damn. So anyways he was just staring at you wherever and whenever you went. You were so damn oblivious. However, since I didn't like my best friend being ogled at, I was gonna confront him. Weird thing is when he saw me coming at him, he slammed money on the table and just left. He better be glad it was over what he paid, otherwise I would've chased him.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk4lfHdys8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvrrVDOAkD
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwxki0ZxZ7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQNRpP2vg
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkzZcl0xSb
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibqJrriafB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIBXYebTw
“Alright then well I'll let you be alone and finally eat. Be ready when you get your shift so we can just head out.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAtH9nwIeB

“No problem with that boss,” I saluted her on her way out and clasped my hands and rubbed them together for my great meal. I want my work pants to feel tight, that’s when I'll know to stop.

“I in no way can convince you of your decision to do this. But I know you want to call them and if you just do it now, you’ll get everything you want to say out and be done with it. And if you choose not to, we can continue with our night like this didn’t happen.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRMipQEjif
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwV8cls6j
We both predicted this might be emotional with tissues and hot cocoa on the nightstand of her bed. She’d never push me not once and I'm already feeling the need to cry, “I love you so much.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK78nAHcT4R
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrD2znip6Z
She hugged me quickly as I held the phone with my parents' house phone profile up and ready to be contacted, “Oh stop it, I love you too. But I know I'm going off this after you've practically been my therapist ever since we met.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjA0NK7yfa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYSxrVXQTY
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOERHS2GUj
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZYjie4Eu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz7L2Bw8wB
“Heck no stay for emotional support,” The other end rang like normal as if this was an ordinary call. I was all for cutting the call and that thought didn’t even last a second before the line picked up.

“King residence Ava speaking.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ntgHXps1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Rd9B4x9Z
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOEqqxP4DX
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N4GUkO6x4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEvtiP1P3Q
“Can I ask who this is?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlNQqEquhm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUfqLmokH
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHB6BbAJzj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor3033vlqy
Her side was quiet and I was about to say more before a bitter tone spoke to me now, “Why’d you bother to call now? Weren’t you doing so well alone?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjnPE6JqiY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrlOSmEpCe
I was questioning my own existence trying to figure out if this girl was a friend of the family or something, “Could you just hand the phone to my mom or even my dad?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7mjjJolW0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqTOAamUw
“Your dad’s moved out so no for him. Especially since she remarried to my dad. We're in a happy time of our lives and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn’t call back. Thanks and bye.”

Now for the second time today I looked at Cherry in disbelief of what just happened and her mouth hung open too. She was quick to speak, calling this ‘Ava’ outside of her name, “Call that bitch back and let me on the phone.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPeW14DmuU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd97STpiLJ
“No no I have my mom's cell phone, I'll call her that way. I just need to process this for a moment. …She remarried? And so soon?”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTa4x0Ahgt
I layed back in the bed hoping it could stop the oncoming headache. Cherry took her place beside me too which made this whole situation feel less sour, “Maybe this was in the works long before they even called to tell you.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR9YMg53eb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVSCVb224W
“I guess so…,” I felt around my phone this time going to my mom’s contact information, “Welp onwards to the source of this potential information.”
