No More Mrs.Nice girl

You Really Know How To Put The U- In Soul

                              I KID YOU NOT MEGHAN MARKLE IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!

After getting over the fact that John secretly knew who I was. I decided to enjoy the rest of my day with him, If it wasn't for John, I probably wouldn't have seen my aunt today. It's been quite a while since I've seen her. Not that my aunt and I aren't close.

She's the only family that I, metaphorically speaking, have. Auntie D has been there for my father, my sister and myself all of my life. She is my mother and she was the one who practically raised me.

When my father decided to take his own life.. Deanna stood up to the plate and raised me. My mother became a drunk. She became mentally and Physically abusive to me. I guess she ran out of others to abuse.

"What's on your mind Viv?..." I stop chewing, as I notice I've tuned out the entire restaurant. John waits for the reassuring eye contact. 

"I apologize sincerely. I tend to do that a lot." He chuckles without so much as blinking. Noticing that John has leaned forward and will not dart his eyes for a mili-second, I look and him and laugh.

"I was just thinking about how appreciative I am of you... Really."

This brings a toothy grin from his lips. My heart stops, but then continues as I remember the sight of James smiling at me the same way.

"I haven't seen my Auntie D in years. I've just been so busy and I feel terrible about it." I say raising a piece of cooked sausage toward my lips. I take a bite and with every blistful flavor, I'm reminded of home. My Auntie D allowed me to cook with her in the kitchen at times. Honestly it makes me even more sad then before. I feel my eyes start to bubble with tears.

"Viv... I brought you here.." I raise my hand. I know why he brought me here...

"It's okay. I know I haven't seen my Aunt in quite some time. The thing is I've just been so busy with work. Now with James added on to the mix, my life has been crazy. I still feel guilty though...." He patiently waits for me to finish.. I appreciate this so much.

"Seeing my D made all of my worries away. It's why I feel so guilty. She's always been here for me.... And I can't even bother to visit." This time he frowns. Stopping me in the middle of my scentence, he raises his hands.

"Viv... Deanna loves you.. More than you know. She speaks so highly of you. Always telling me how proud she is of you. Your like her child with all the appraisals she talks about.Trust me when I say... Deanna isn't bothered by you not seeing her..." I smile to myself, but also frown as well. I know my Auntie. She's definitely upset about me not visiting her more often.

I should have a friendly talk with her

"Mr. Heinz, I appreciate you. You've done a fair amount for me in the past few days... I'd like to formally thank you.." He looks at me with a straight face for a while...

"Pardon. Do I have something on my face...?" He finally reveals his breath taking smile.

"Why are you being so formal with me. Aren't we friends." I manage to make out as he's mid chew.

"We are..?" The only 'Friend' I've got is my assistant Natalia....

"You don't think that we are? After two days ago you'd think that that situation would've brought us closer..." He says with a confused look on his face...

Now that he mentions it, it has been a tad bit weird but oddly comfortable with him since that situation happened. Almost as if he entered my life at the right time. I shove my last piece of Jambalaya between my lips, while still thinking about what he just confessed.
