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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAeqlkV3Odb5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZEygM9XhHb
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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA7kt6VPCAdq

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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANArdagP6okeY

“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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANATBBUpLNAiN
310Please respect copyright.PENANA7yO4Kd3xBR
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA3S6cDPKGL0
310Please respect copyright.PENANARXC3oJ0DB1
“For telling her?”310Please respect copyright.PENANAYvlziZMERg
310Please respect copyright.PENANATTvTqdzol2
“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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANALILKev4I8w
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWF3DaoMmAx
“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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANACptmmRaNIq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHGe9oaPtxv
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA4GnMuqnemd
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0gESnpMgmZ
“Not for the support?”310Please respect copyright.PENANApgL134rQcM
310Please respect copyright.PENANArKwES31pCJ
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”310Please respect copyright.PENANA6j1wAZRaY4
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzWhrRHkugX
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAtYIrqaAiRX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuwUj1Xq7hD
“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.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAA5KcjmpKru
“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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3YsxXqn4jV
“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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAKpmCgKdVBS
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjMPEzYZBWq
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAWRdGtamDcZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANACJ2pIV9j0a
“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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA6mfYtmSrpZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1o57NIOcFU
“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?”310Please respect copyright.PENANANuKHgif3XJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAexlfz4YuHU
“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.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkoeL0Iaehd
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAm8jIo0NnPI
310Please respect copyright.PENANA7u6LSOzOfx
“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.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3aD5TYPhkJ
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. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAjoZR1ZHARr
310Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Rl8Dmy6o
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”310Please respect copyright.PENANArGR9Cn7udh

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”310Please respect copyright.PENANA9skcxxJZsC
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeO3MHk8Zug
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjwZvFemqfp
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”310Please respect copyright.PENANAeSNHGgiJ8J
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEsmptK6Ayx
“...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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANALpoBKh5eyb
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5GXua62RHB
“You have gotten better, yes?”310Please respect copyright.PENANAojy6KO48tU
310Please respect copyright.PENANARmhDYsZ5hF
“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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAsMDAomix4Q
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoWGajxg1e9
“Thank you…”310Please respect copyright.PENANAibP5g59BY7
310Please respect copyright.PENANAl5UylxEoRf
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”310Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUFf5Ummu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjnBx78iG0a
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWTfvbHsM
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAYaOWvAukNO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKpVbjSXaWz
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAXEf2S9EJkf
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOzA7WxpynM
“...If Faye is fine with it…”310Please respect copyright.PENANA37oVtPg8EP
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfFbqBCrc5J
“Yes I am.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAO96JTXaLVx
310Please respect copyright.PENANASA3uPIaH8Y
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAzkoDK8DhdL
310Please respect copyright.PENANAy0LQt3jxpT
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z20W8uuP5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOY36xE6icY
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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANARa79JVWv1a
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEZSuEglmln
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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAHoE3T8x1Wg
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGdzDIP4r1n
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA3fv4UROVUD
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzjHBCwRgcq
“Shut up old man and hug me.”310Please respect copyright.PENANA7ayxzN5Kn1
310Please respect copyright.PENANACvayNLGmZA
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.
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbh2yNzZbNV
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.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAzN6XUu164g
310Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ToXSNHhX
“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”310Please respect copyright.PENANAbhID8ekfvE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkskdr0aoIj
“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.”
