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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpX7JZfy9B

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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TzcQOd8qA

“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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JV8Hnnsua

“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrFzRjhRHW
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7f7fC79xa
“For telling her?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaUO48nKen
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4dBK9iR2
“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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OEO42ycuI

“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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDoRfKF8bK
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFwxdd0Ceg
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBdT0xXP3q
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbghbbjTix
“Not for the support?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlMx5bKYjO
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknyr1asqpz
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzUMj36Oig
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYAPqMxIJy
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChhGQwYaeh

“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.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKraa20pK3
“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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3LOjuxSv4
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7OTol1I1k
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD6kVAbuBc

“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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuoAkrwSRo
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYdg7SR6np
“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?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ic7kk5ltT
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN9SOcIg6c
“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.”

“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JmnTxjBgz

“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.”

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. 207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2koVMlFOv
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7hhpFWKtS

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDYSMPV9KK
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3UENBxCC

“...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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYNxt7U8sb

“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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDY6frMvP1
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmllOEAqDbD
“Thank you…”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSIyXbh9Nj

She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWrUZ1NB3o
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34eT3PUL2
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LPIepUCmF
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7dQNShGak

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57ArReNMQ
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJdyQU4ICP
“...If Faye is fine with it…”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aCkBpxv9L
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB7kjgo0Z4
“Yes I am.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAQMHoOWn

“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9zu4GylIQ
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJV5dWjb3
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfBPPBlEGS

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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvHdPgjRX
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpuEt7WJMq
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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYJfYo0mY
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8aqAlyAZh
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLylC0QWkA
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Xf8odR7z
“Shut up old man and hug me.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ws3vbst6
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDXfbud9Z
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SptOFRGJR
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.”207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AuHxnHB7R
