Choices We Cant Make

twentytwo: desert

Violet and I are pretty tired after my confrontation regarding my past last night.

I can hear Violet's internal battles fighting whether or not to spill me her past.

I honestly did not tell her my past with any expectations of her telling me hers.

I already know her past and I am sure whenever she feels right, she will tell me about it. Wont she?

Anyways, I need to lighten the mood.

"There is this ice cream shop nearby that opens at 6"

It is 5:30 AM right now and the tears that stained my face the previous night have dried up.

"Ice cream at 6AM? What is wrong with you?" Violet opposes.

"We have a big day ahead of us and also, the ice cream shop is known for breakfast ice cream. They make ice cream from all types of fruits and they also give waffles and crepes. We could have a full blown breakfast!"

"But 6 am?" she growls.

"Come on! It closes at 10 and it becomes really crowded so lets go!" I assure her that the owner of the ice cream store is sane enough to sell ice cream in the morning.

-.-

Violet took 45 minutes to get dressed and thus its 7AM and we are at the back of the customer line.

Great.

But, on the bright side Violet looks very happy and clean.

I hug her and kiss her forehead. She smiles and turns her back to the side and her eyes explode from her sockets.

I turn my head and a loud voice pinches my ears-

"AUNT ARMA?!" She yells. Everyone eyes my Violet but she doesn't care.

"Oh! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" She yells with joy beaming through her plump lips.

"Oh my my Violet! You know I travel around the world. Im surprised to see you here! " her aunt states- with the biggest bite of zen.

Her aunt Arma is something.

I have heard so much about her from Violet and, Aunt Arma does match all my expectations if not more.

"Im here with my boyfriend Blue." She looks towards me and blushes. I smile.

"oh so you are Blue. Nice to meet you. I have heard all sorts of wonderful things about you." Ms. Arma extends her hand and I shake them.

"Nice to meet you too," I nod and Ms. Arma eyes me and my entire body in one shot. She smiles and looks at her dear dear Violet.

Ms. Arma is a very typical romantic. She is wearing a long white gown with a big yellow beaded necklace. Her hair is slightly curly just like Violet's and she seems to be someone who has read Jane eyre at least 11 times.

"I did tell you about going to Hawaii!" Violet exclaims to Ms. Arma.

"fiddlesticks you said were going to Hawaii in 4 days."

"I meant 4 hours, not days. Ah! Anyways why didn't you mention coming here?" Violet charges.

"Honey,I came here last night and I did try calling you but you were busy I guess. Anyways my best friend Daisy's son owns a hotel here and they have their inauguration party tonight."

Wait.... Daisy?

"Oh please tell me his name is Drew!" Violet presses with hope.

"No but his boyfriends name is Krew or something. His name is David." Violet jumps with excitement.

This lady.

"Oh! I know a David! Two Davids! Both Davids! I cant believe we both are going to the same party!"

Violet exclaims. My expression on the other hand is completely poker.

Wait. So, Daisy is David's mother? The same Daisy who is dating Greg- my father?

"Aunt Arma you Never told me about a Daisy?"

"Oh honey whenever we talk it's just you who blabbers the entire time. But do you remember after your birthday I said I was heading to London? I was heading to my friend Daisy. I met her boyfriend there-"

"Greg? You met Greg didn't you?" I barge in. Violet grows confused.

"Why yes I did. Is he your father?" Aunt Arma presses.

I nod.

"I wasn't expecting it, but I am not even surprised. You look just like him."

I take a deep breathe and pull Violet towards me.

"Perhaps we should leave." I whisper and Violet nods and we both leave without any breakfast.

Violet quickly texts her aunt about our schedule.

The entire way back Violet just says something about the world being a small place.

Yet I never ran into Beyonce.
