I sat down with my plate happily about to devour the food until a certain someone nudged me from behind, “Can’t I have a peaceful break? I’m hungry and Steven was not busy enough to make my supreme nachos and cheese.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnETCsFy1cm

“We work at such an expensive restaurant and the one thing you get to eat isn’t even on the menu. Like really? All he did was put it in the microwave,” She was all smiles while sitting down next to me. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABH0kjyc2L
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ2uQkgkoG
“And I was gracious for thee not throwing it away after he did so.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SD4tBvZBU
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDys0K6wWJ
Her expression changed into something I didn't normally see, “Did you notice some dude staring at you?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDYdCF68u
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqcuWDDHW7
“What do you mean?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8nFULCwmR

“Don’t worry, I didn't see it either. But Janice, the new girl, said this girl has brunette hair and ‘gorgeous’ green eyes. Her hetero was showing and it was god awful that she started and convo like that. She was nice and respectful though when I mentioned my preferen-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyjL71rO33
I sighed, smacking her shoulder, “Stay on track blabbermouth.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJeOS6v7dL

“Well excuuuuuse me. Damn. So anyways he was just staring at you wherever and whenever you went. You were so damn oblivious. However, since I didn't like my best friend being ogled at, I was gonna confront him. Weird thing is when he saw me coming at him, he slammed money on the table and just left. He better be glad it was over what he paid, otherwise I would've chased him.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FprL4VmPU
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37aOl0LwIE
I sat back with my arms crossed staring in disbelief, “That’s really bizarre.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoaEFSgBRT
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2B9JV6dkT
“I know right? You think you attracted the attention of a male?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYsi6UNT97
“You say that so quirkily but I don't think so. It doesn't really concern me anymore anyways since he’s gone now.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZP0R6Blzq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQtdbAFMPJ
“Alright then well I'll let you be alone and finally eat. Be ready when you get your shift so we can just head out.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfUK61sQEP

“No problem with that boss,” I saluted her on her way out and clasped my hands and rubbed them together for my great meal. I want my work pants to feel tight, that’s when I'll know to stop.

“I in no way can convince you of your decision to do this. But I know you want to call them and if you just do it now, you’ll get everything you want to say out and be done with it. And if you choose not to, we can continue with our night like this didn’t happen.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkqpGQ60dK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW3c9LkLoP
We both predicted this might be emotional with tissues and hot cocoa on the nightstand of her bed. She’d never push me not once and I'm already feeling the need to cry, “I love you so much.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDze7kuc4
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTggMHXhZM
She hugged me quickly as I held the phone with my parents' house phone profile up and ready to be contacted, “Oh stop it, I love you too. But I know I'm going off this after you've practically been my therapist ever since we met.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYOiBf10C
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaxjzO9FXi
“Yea but still… Ok I’m gonna do it. It’s just the press of a button.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmufqLPhc
“You totally do. Do you want me to leave?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUnq5cIDvh

“Heck no stay for emotional support,” The other end rang like normal as if this was an ordinary call. I was all for cutting the call and that thought didn’t even last a second before the line picked up.

“King residence Ava speaking.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO338kNGfb7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGPtIfRlyi
Cherry whispered the same question I was thinking, “Who the hell is Ava?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCPBrsNkOj
I shrugged wondering who this woman was too, “Um I need to speak to Mrs. King please?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOLvzbcPol
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt10anjHm3x
“Can I ask who this is?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtlDaSjoML
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qnbBwBzxG
“I should be asking you that actually. But I’m her daughter Cleo King.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHksnl0UVw4
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHebdkBElN
Her side was quiet and I was about to say more before a bitter tone spoke to me now, “Why’d you bother to call now? Weren’t you doing so well alone?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63RS9emhkg
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFjNjQuHI
I was questioning my own existence trying to figure out if this girl was a friend of the family or something, “Could you just hand the phone to my mom or even my dad?”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s51toxyqV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qAUtRmOvm
“Your dad’s moved out so no for him. Especially since she remarried to my dad. We're in a happy time of our lives and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn’t call back. Thanks and bye.”

Now for the second time today I looked at Cherry in disbelief of what just happened and her mouth hung open too. She was quick to speak, calling this ‘Ava’ outside of her name, “Call that bitch back and let me on the phone.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEpHKUCMy
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYJpzLbag
“No no I have my mom's cell phone, I'll call her that way. I just need to process this for a moment. …She remarried? And so soon?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwO5UJYKQG
I layed back in the bed hoping it could stop the oncoming headache. Cherry took her place beside me too which made this whole situation feel less sour, “Maybe this was in the works long before they even called to tell you.”467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV2aL7yECQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGGgfHLuvo
“I guess so…,” I felt around my phone this time going to my mom’s contact information, “Welp onwards to the source of this potential information.”
