"You sure you don't want me to come in with you?"
"I'm positive, I have to do this on my own."
"Aight, well call me when you're ready for me to pick you up."
"Got you." My right hand reaches for the door before Foreign quickly locks the door. "Bae."
"I know you don't think you're leaving without giving me a kiss."
"Oh my bad."
"Yeah, your bad."
"Shut up." I lean in and grab his chin to bring his lips to mine.
"Mhmm."
"Love you."
"Kai egó se agapó."(Love you too.)
"Alright, let me go see what has to be said."
"Bye, Soul."
"Bye, Megalos."
Getting out, I wave bye before I walk into the coffee shop. My eyes roam over the crowd of faces before they land on the familiar one. I walk over and take a seat getting comfortable.
"Thank you for meeting with me." Von greets me while I join her at the table.
"I just want to get this settled."
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything. I want to know the truth on why you felt like it was cool to listen to daddy and give Foreign's case away."
"I told you that your father didn't feel like it was safe for me to be there."
"If I am going to hear you out, you're going to be honest with me. I'm not that little kid that you could just tell me anything and I'll believe you." I'm here for the truth and if she doesn't want to give it to me then I can easily tell Foreign to turn around and pick me up.
"You're right, I do owe you the truth."
"Thank you."
"First off, I want to apologize for how everything went with me and Foreign's case. I know that I should've been the one to plead his case, but at the end of the day I chose to go the route that your father wanted me to go."
"I appreciate you acknowledging that." That's the least that can be done.
"I know you think that it's a load of crap that your father wanted me to give up the case because of someone in the jail with Foreign. It's true though and as much as I regret it, I can only move forward and prove to you guys that I am here for both of you."
"Von, you know that I have always came to you no matter what issues we had, but to know that I couldn't come to you when I needed you the most hurt me. It took me a long time to get comfortable with you. I told you secrets that I have never told anyone else and now I feel like we're back at square one."
"I'm sorry that you feel that way."
"I want to us to be cool but I don't know where to go from here."
"Do you remember when you were so fed up with me that you ignored me for a week?"
"Yeah."
"Do you remember what I told you?" I stick my hand out and shake it indicating that I somewhat remember what she told me.
"Sort of."
"I told you that you can be mad at me for however long you want to. I will still be there for you. I'm not trying to replace the relationship that you had with your mom, I just want you to know that I am here. No matter how minor the problem is I do not mind coming to your rescue. Blood or not you are my daughter and I love you. So you can take however long you want to be pissed at me, just know when that anger subsides I will still be here."
