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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2xtj001bP

“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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeOuf9Ucqg

“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETAdS5PuzF
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLeTOmhYgN
Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKTUlH2bMN
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYP7VOJIjM
“What do you mean?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhlhiyyP0

“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-”

I sighed, smacking her shoulder, “Stay on track blabbermouth.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWS5Ftl9vg

“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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXA4obb1vK
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW0b0ibmRM
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk560VjfJ3v
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpuhgnBkub
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvdGRdHxEw
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgn2lFJOQK
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjACQfmqmj
“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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwLl0WDSUD

“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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAlOYGccpx

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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBLmwMK1mj
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOVfSHd2Pf
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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQuFHMCsOB
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2emVVHUF
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4NbF4MDEp
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7abUJ30rv
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4EEmHRBY
“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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPUPx2faw8
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC11vSDFb5
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr3uBVSRsa
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HswLWTTq5
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwwDBZawi
“Can I ask who this is?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFVVgc5EOx
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aFeh9C8Ub
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOWUaVi8T0
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKBf4foKee
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?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmzkB3kzwR
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N9GDJDPyd
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?”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3uRE36B9Z
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eiJMZko3t
“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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAC6CO1Sy
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LqL162DCo
“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?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEureFRa4pa
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.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe8w5JRojY
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY38zhmB15
“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.”
