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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw7mpoLQof

“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYF6ZRgPTA

“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmitNPQfD
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy549XhNJCV
Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFkQOrhxjg
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z5WMSZr47
“What do you mean?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOlwPQ6itL

“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcANzK9rVi

“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ReeNuM4a
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3kHwcnmnw
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYU3QnBkNb
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxxu4wojAD
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN81h6wwNIE
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEZrHfhz0

“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHSpfJ0EZ

“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJIMJFSgwG

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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhr6Vgu20P
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKOAG75FH6
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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2UHuE8jiO
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3MvcILYnb
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzgLvsBmy3
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLevmOBv8Pp

“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELgR3cpJ3z
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP4Uvr84NO
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiJUKPrWcq
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSsKGicXX
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWmXIlV1Va
“Can I ask who this is?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9RiPMSBYM
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN00HlJJJa
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtwyiFqxNx
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75R5yXGwdO
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?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk5Nj8DKnv
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1pfv6mPWO
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?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFPqlVaa4p
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoa6U7eKfK
“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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhYqCJQbQg
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbIVYF1twE
“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?”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC8kCE4Bbp
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.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE932RFdND
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuNT3JBMES
“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.”
