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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03t5YouSWG

“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylgdELJ9d4

“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEn9kELAHh

Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7iBmmPe4x
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIArk1vPRm
“What do you mean?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifHE5nCclc

“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-”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB07fBfsCjX
I sighed, smacking her shoulder, “Stay on track blabbermouth.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxxo41uynd

“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkYG1T9vKW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0euADuh4
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZAX5wOSBM
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuwkEmbZpm
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChNklzBxw
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dwm87EfyV

“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkaH5o2jB8

“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajGDQEJ3R7

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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLq1BfBdXo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfieZU1p0O
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliqodCTKSl
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFduA5wAJxv
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnHQIc9CMs
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcAsYtRMey

“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJS07SGsq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqak1IJni9b
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDkdlgXTsN
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLTyhGyse
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I1B8Xakza
“Can I ask who this is?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihKZSYYGG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZeTjEbG9d
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOTcc1VDki
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmi6YU9i8S
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?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQoEIzZ5I4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl40YIkTj3
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?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAZ5tqpvq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ694hqhuN
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkIdsTnNZT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXTNjy4ncS
“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?”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorOVBCQmsp
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SFgpvNLiv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwJrmJ2ukx
“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.”
