I groan at the sun, most likely giving me an unwanted tan. I glared in a direction not caring who was on the other side since I could even see. I stopped taping my heel against the ground when Cleo’s hand snaked up my thigh. I turned to her fiddling with the cute flowery sundress she had on, wishing to just jump past the little fence and run back to the apartment, “I really don’t want to meet her.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAFEJuZQEoPY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAawtpurm63R
I sigh, going to take a swig of the wine I ordered only for it to be snatched by Cleo, “So you’ve said. And no drinking.”

“We're only a short walk from the apartment so why not.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAQEdSovS04F

She winced most likely off my strong taste and gathered my hand in hers, “Because I said so love. You can do it after having a level headed mind throughout this whole thing.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAg736tiuZxU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAk3aXpDvrx5
“Fine, you're right. I don’t know why dad is so adamant about this. Even after the fact of blackmailing and holding a secret like that.”308Please respect copyright.PENANALSc7wGvldq
308Please respect copyright.PENANAiSHRnC7QzR
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”308Please respect copyright.PENANA6LrFDLVQ67
308Please respect copyright.PENANAu3riSa6FC6
“For telling her?”308Please respect copyright.PENANAJqpkszqyUU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAESnZLFTtcc
“Yes. And since your father wasn’t there she must've been there as her support. Just think, babe, she lost her own child. She must’ve wanted someone to know at that moment.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAEgqwe8wRWe

“Maybe yea,” I smiled, fiddling with her engagement ring. When I looked at her again she was already watching and she laughed when I pulled her by her collar to place a kiss on my lips, “I’m glad your here.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAjBCFdxZKHt
308Please respect copyright.PENANALb8qljEshA
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAmC3Kz6iIqV
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqFuIe9Xr4A
“Not for the support?”308Please respect copyright.PENANACJ65T1oFEp
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOK4S2C0rip
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”308Please respect copyright.PENANAog2uCtiNs5
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcmqUtngwSt
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”308Please respect copyright.PENANARoV7GWJg3x
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6D0fJMPSRC
“You’ll be just fine. And if not we can just leave,” She looked away and smiled brightly when getting up and I followed suit, “Now put on your lovely fake smile and be nice.”
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkjcAcXUfNe
“I’m always nice,” I gasped when her palm connected with my butt grimacing in trying to laugh it off as my dad came up to us.

“Cleo! Nice to see you again. I hoped that this one didn’t run you off already,” He was beaming, looking unfazed at the situation at hand. He somehow looked even better than when I last saw him. They hugged each other and I crossed my arms unwilling to just act happy.308Please respect copyright.PENANArWaxmbJlV9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAnrR2DP3B6z
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAmw4jB2Aavl
308Please respect copyright.PENANAodg1YXssD1
“And really thank you for keeping me up to date. Other than when we speak on the phone I never know what's going on with her.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAfBpeqCBB8p
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPCaCRc9EXq
“It’s no problem. Just be glad your likable, otherwise I would've kept to myself. By the way, where is this woman of the hour?”308Please respect copyright.PENANAF7XsFbYupJ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAP5jafXACtr
“Popped into the restroom. But I'm keeping an eye out in case she's trying to escape. I even had to convince her when she came that you wouldn’t kill her.”
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7BB0IZIYz9
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”308Please respect copyright.PENANA5FZtnFyQIO
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaSNBu7oFWt
“Well it is my company. I just have someone being the face and acting the part. I phrased it wrong, sorry but that's the income earned that I gave her. I gave them a couple of ideas that worked and they I could use the extra money anyways. However, she needed it more than me.”
308Please respect copyright.PENANApY52cS6qFJ
A woman skin and bones came up to the table. I was taken aback as she looked starved and almost dead yet still alive and kicking, “Hello…,” Cleo and dad went quiet as I stared at my… aunt? She looked like a shell of what she could have been. 308Please respect copyright.PENANAd9IEoc36Q6
308Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ivfXpN4y
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”308Please respect copyright.PENANASnxHQgnDXd

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”308Please respect copyright.PENANAHpS659hhU9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkvD7AigBO6
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
308Please respect copyright.PENANASc5M9fyCbV
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”308Please respect copyright.PENANAPrN20PgWtf
308Please respect copyright.PENANAeTuOSYhp4u
“...Your father was mad at me. I only left your mom after a fight we had. And I never got to reconcile with her. He had every right to reject me and i made the stupid decision to hurt him. And for that I am sorry to both of you. Talia wanted me to take this to my grave.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAcs5apc3XFk
308Please respect copyright.PENANAl5ju2vE7dD
“You have gotten better, yes?”308Please respect copyright.PENANACHKC5edykj
308Please respect copyright.PENANAH7wpwtytiY
“I’m going through rehab. I’m a month clean with many years to come. And might I say your just like her. She was such a strong willed person and you obviously inherited that factor.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAeYL49SBFoR
308Please respect copyright.PENANAGTByOa2whb
“Thank you…”308Please respect copyright.PENANAPl4bhwSgRZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQxPXf1PJdG
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”308Please respect copyright.PENANANm52wLGDCQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAerA9kVdLpr
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
308Please respect copyright.PENANAV8BShPdGu9
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAKZeFHsvLzM
308Please respect copyright.PENANAseQY8sp3lM
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAwJlNWfMGRx
308Please respect copyright.PENANAt5G2gMupTM
“...If Faye is fine with it…”308Please respect copyright.PENANAbOdhTeMP9p
308Please respect copyright.PENANAuCVpOoYMGD
“Yes I am.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAOhSaSCqU45
308Please respect copyright.PENANAX9XDB2rie1
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”308Please respect copyright.PENANABSk8rVdIzG
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcSJ2BvdnxZ
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”308Please respect copyright.PENANA04gI6bP1g3
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgRBgBHDh7X
She nodded and came over to me to take a hold of my hand, “Hopefully I'll see more of you and really I'm sorry about this whole thing.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAEkqpEkS5dA
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvtAizTEWLY
Using the better half of me I pulled her into a hug albeit a short one in response, “I know that now. Have a great meeting.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAccHjSrBOUI
308Please respect copyright.PENANARISvJoZX8z
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAUyCCDWbWyw
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwGdtHo16b3
“Shut up old man and hug me.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAQvqooJN3rx
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3vT9lxpjj7
His laugh loud and boasted came in between Cleo and I to pull us into a group hug, “Love you and you too Cleo. I gotta go before someone calls me and hopefully you two will meet soon,” I double took him after that last sentence and he literally rushed away knowing I'd have something to say.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsupWWGacwl
Cleo was laughing at my expression and I bumped my hips with hers and had to grab her arm so she wouldn’t fully fall over after, “One issue at a time okay.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAkG6FWIzOEn

“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”308Please respect copyright.PENANAieq4ZKu8nU

“A nice movie night in? Let me order before we leave so you don’t starve. And get me something sweet. I don’t even know how you handle that stuff.”
