Her Neonate

서른 넷 34

The two going girls shared a laugh, "Yeah I'm really,really, very sorry...I swear I didn-"

"It's alright I swear...hey you bought me lunch...I haven't had lunch in a long time" Hani said packing her mouth with the Cesar salad that was purchased for her, "Oh really? The job have you work overtime a lot?"

Hani took the time to swallow her before answering "Nah it's my little brother...he's in the hospital"

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry" Alani held her chest, she couldn't imagine that pain, "Yeah...he got into with a guy he claims was his boyfriend" Hani rolls her eyes.

Alani pauses, that story sounded really familiar, "Jeez there's so much domestic violence these days, my bo-...I mean someone I use to live with neighbor was in a situation like that"

Hani grins, "I definitely heard that...'my boyfriend' was what you were gonna say" she laughs, these two were hitting it off really well.
"Well he wasn't my boyfriend but...he acted like one and we lived together...he was so sweet to angel"

"Angel is your son right"

"Right..."
One of the reasons these two were able to click together so nicely was when Alani mentioned her having a son Hani didn't treat him as some burden or a fatal disease she just simply said 'Aw how old is?' Hani knew everybody had their situations and nobody should be judged for it.
"So what's stopping the two of you?...no wait...trust issues?...oh I completely get that, I can't even trust my own dad it's just me and my baby brother you know?"

Alani smiles, "Exactly..." She was really enjoying Hani's company.
"This salad is really good...did you want some?" Hani stabs some of the salad and hold it out for Alani who quickly shook her head.
"Nah that breakfast sandwich is holding me over for a bit"

Hani shrugs, "I could eat all day if I had the money" Alani chuckles, "I should go on a diet actually" Hani said patting her stomach before laughing loudly.
Alani smile fell slightly, she hated the thought that ran through her brain.

'This was the type of girl I would have bullied in school'

She shivered, Alani always found the girls that weren't the most posh, had loud laughs and worked part time jobs to be the best targets.
They couldn't afford the newest clothes, were always late on slangs and weren't very good at defending themselves, Alani felt herself tear up before she blinks them away.

Those were her worst years.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine...hehe why don't you tell me more about your brother?"

Hani claps, "Easy topic, hes gay obviously, he's my brother and he's obviously Korean like me" she jokes, "Ah you're Korean?....you know who was Korean too"

"Ahh my Korean men are the best huh?" Hani said raises her brows, Alani chews on her lip "Yeah in a sense...I have an inkling he was a bit of a womanizer before we met"

"Oh no!" Hani said as her eyes widened in interest, "Tell me, tell me" she bounces her shoulders, "Okay so I'm leaving room to greet him and there this girl all lover literally kissing him and I'm like 'did I interrupt something' and he's all 'uh, um um' and the girl looks at me as if I'm the intruder in this situation...Hani are you listening?"

Hani eyes were completely occupied on the person behind them, "I'm sorry but...I think that lady in the fur coat is watching us" she squints, Alani turns looking around for a lady in fur... "Oh hell no..."

She stood up and marched right over to her, "Can I help you? Me and my friend are trying to have lunch"

"You're friends with that? I assumed she was one of those bi curious experiments girls your age go through" the obviously rich lady grins at the fuming Alani, "You bitch...the last thing I said to you was that I hope you burn in Hell and it's clear you haven't made it yet"

"Well I've got a late season pass" she said casually shifting her head side to side, "Where's my sweet granddaughter?" Cynthia questioned.
"Don't tell me she's in foster care already" she gasped, Alani scowls, "He...he is doing just fine at school actually"

"He, she, they I guess those labels don't really matter in these modern times" she sips the cucumber water in front of her, Cynthia always knew how to get under her skin. She could drive Alani absolutely crazy.

"I think it's time for my only family to come back home"

Alani chuckles, "Excuse me?"

"Yes...I was so wrong for suggesting you live on your own" she sulks, "Me and your father should have been there...You know I tried telling him back then to let you back in the house but you know how stubborn your poor fathers was right?" Cynthia looks at Alani with wide eyes and a pout, Alani rolls her eyes.
"Fuck off you plastic face bitch"

For a moment you could see Cynthia smirk falter, she exhales slowly, "I see you're still the same rude hussy you were three years ago...but besides that you need to come with me" she stood and snaps her fingers.
And two men immediately grab onto Alani's arms, "Please lets make this easy Alani"
Alani sticks her tongue in her cheek.

This hasn't been the first time something like this happened. Alani turns back to Hani who was watching with the largest eyes, just as she stood to stop the men Alani shook her head.
"It's fine..." she turns to Cynthia "Pick up her check for me...as you can see my hands are tied" she glowered at the middle aged women.
The entire restaurant watched as the almost television-like situation spilled out in front of them.
Cynthia chuckles and walks over to Hani's table and places two hundred dollars on the table, "Bet this is your first time seeing these huh? Pay for your dinner and take the other half as hush money"
Cynthia walks out of the restaurant and Alani is forcibly right behind her.
