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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjjuwNIUHJ

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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwxhLyEQst

“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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfu2o02CxX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK38ry9NSEB
“Your mom must’ve had her reasons.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡackf8J0OwQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSMrX9Qikb
“For telling her?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71MvPylYe7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFrKqDQ49z
“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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cFdnqZlWX

“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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNx8WXTe1r
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAl7rK5H4D
“I came because I don't want you to say or do something you’ll regret.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9ixL9EY0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrQw0NRsfr
“Not for the support?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcKNsSI7Ai
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgJdGLT38R
“That too as well. Will she look anything like you mom?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VnlGyziwB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4fl5BgnZ8
“I don’t know. It’s gonna be really weird if she does.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeASi9A6uVD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCmc20P5T7
“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.”

“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.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbvGQTIC1H
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8rOjXGQpk
“Oh not yet I guess I'm gonna be here long term then.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXgi6Y6vJo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCQRoEMDpZ
“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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpcCaKhkS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBHNEggDWg
“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?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuJcKfoLXs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqAJ3NWgcc
“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.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oFQpa4kYJ
“I just don’t get why you let it go on for so long.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkEgi8fGUo

“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.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXMDDFVn8g
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. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE7a2nGTOc
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4M0Mbabj
“I don’t feel comfortable with calling you aunt yet.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9HSIM92Lx

“I was in a bad place and needed help. I had no one else and it was my last resort.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Rn7p8RR7
“And bringing up the fact that I wasn't my mom was necessary?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKhnplm0J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gB4igpgaO
“...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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR0yfpGJIM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse9OcINjWk
“You have gotten better, yes?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1hLqa6JfY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVPIjFHgk5
“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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA3VfBA6pp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhv4uP2ylV
“Thank you…”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS3XY1Tkqg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ661VTifPxF
She looked over to Cleo smiling her way, “Your dad said you were engaged. Are you the lucky lady?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SNfYwpo6U
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3WchSHEs
“Yes, I’m Cleo. Nice to meet you.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPGnoTS3c3
“You as well. I’m glad I got to meet you as he hasn’t stopped boasting about you.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeE4eWxDS2

“Well I do have a very nice reputation. Will you attend? I would like for all of Faye’s family to be there.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwg7KuqywC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BBvMDBpng
“...If Faye is fine with it…”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYOuR8YnkB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZ6IGlSL1
“Yes I am.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyT0dF6qH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTUuGpYXCE
“Then your father will keep me up to date. Not to cut this short but I have a checkup meeting scheduled for today.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83a437rERE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqTidzeznf
Dad was the first to stand and everyone else stood after, “I’ll meet you by car.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNwnxQJcS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX3LHQ3tem
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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0tvS3hL1F
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60LZp9DRz
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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG1cKEoKAO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdangSKMRu
She said her goodbyes to me and Cleo this time and walked away, “Thank you for not cutting off her head.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefYld4aVe
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3demWNG6K4
“Shut up old man and hug me.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ6l5TErPS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFY6PKbVT
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.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkdZe8fgnb
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.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BbSuGsbeh
