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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAVvl8zF1C5e
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtJLItS654O
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.”

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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANARDwD1tE8V7
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2DCmV7qbBH
“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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAja5aXQgkbC
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1JodLJyNfK
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAHevnqgsfxT
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJo0U4FrHkM
“For telling her?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAZBkEHcQMhO
110Please respect copyright.PENANA99Eeb3XQ9i
“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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAujcAIeJBEn

“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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAxxOM78cbXb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvOylUZLQGp
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAAGOod3ZAZ4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgJRcCidE8G
“Not for the support?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAVWrX47LDiv
110Please respect copyright.PENANAh3pX4Vk6Gt
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAUIyZmclT8b
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqztlCofewn
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”110Please respect copyright.PENANA14FIXSaoce
110Please respect copyright.PENANABxGqGtjWvG
“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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVyjGQV0Zfy
“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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANATavMSzY8kS
“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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAqGFqydooz5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAc3RhBxDetv
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAE5VJqsZk35
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7PpcffKY4l
“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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAw0R7O20hfn
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnhXmNDfiGI
“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?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAZjKqjwF734
110Please respect copyright.PENANAhwzQLzhKxa
“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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI2mNHNzSiz
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAzsSx0mftmh
110Please respect copyright.PENANArXBy41LOMH
“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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAshOez6aNFm
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. 110Please respect copyright.PENANAVsNznzfhAs
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxX6y8tbW8k
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAUg0lCRJ52w

“Why’d you take advantage of him?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAQaAAfVFJpb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJDjP2AqJS9
“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ZstTMUCi
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAvk7qY2xfim
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7dsD45PpZh
“...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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANARt805rTSJL
110Please respect copyright.PENANAU77PRPvdSM
“You have gotten better, yes?”110Please respect copyright.PENANA6p0WQXMSCw
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwhs9CR5rT6
“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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAj6RDaMglMG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFM6djjU0D7
“Thank you…”110Please respect copyright.PENANA3C6NCYwZvU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Axg8mj3O
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”110Please respect copyright.PENANATQAQTvlXo6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAq3X8bGCvNG
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzWq08QMjp4
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ELw8p2eV
110Please respect copyright.PENANACgDJJiPHjh
“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAi8r3KXX7kl
110Please respect copyright.PENANAx3OGf977hX
“...If Faye is fine with it…”110Please respect copyright.PENANA2BVeKjdoDY
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYvgm0wHdYn
“Yes I am.”110Please respect copyright.PENANASpsJvX6uO4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ESGfHfzI
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAOQaaPs5zsB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWopFwpZI56
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXG4CWGCr
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8oDIBPml4a
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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAjM7RsNmbHO
110Please respect copyright.PENANALjMCfrlNHy
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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAVNGIxsdZbF
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7mXmpTqEuV
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAb62rradyH4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuMbs5IVTuu
“Shut up old man and hug me.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAyc5eZvbAZp
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ3LogitaJ
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWY3Jm4K7JG
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.”110Please respect copyright.PENANA5822VkDBMo
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPjAz6rC7MR
“Yea yea i’m getting a bottle then we're going home and i'm little spoon this time.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAqbt8iE1dEI

“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.”
