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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE61yXiA4tt

“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. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQ8V89Yil
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpc7u4IDhx
“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ6tK1ZLr0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaVU8FlpEf
Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Gfu1kGT7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM0FaaC6Z4
“What do you mean?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbczMu02Eee

“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gEJixYkm

“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4CKmHb77i
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkEBSlibF
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73zb2EPPr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKhK2R9Nxc
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqfEv3mr7
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TjtgBaxhI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMAah3bblD
“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRCjI7M7KS

“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh4FyMIAKI

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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDXHqTTHQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRJtFBA1s
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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqE0E4Knjy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoZmWuveDl
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ1XIynqQV
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozCGf22SqK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITttfM9HV
“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nl4Ter8SR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQeu6QJem
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a5sh17OAK
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNonGGh6Y
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JrNFb1qW
“Can I ask who this is?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwl70HKyv3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8cr69hF86
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI9m9YdTtl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx3vbmtkvW
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?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVTW29dSB4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby7MQA6YyN
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?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPbpZFLYOR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3N2xt6YlL
“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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYYoijjXPb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AlohEEitW
“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?”
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3d0UC8yd6
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.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLSS8WJ7JR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZDv8XOREb
“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.”
