Chap 64

Theo

He can feel Sarah turmoil because it was the exact feeling he was felling for himself, he was terrified too...it was really a prison the way Becca defined it and the things he read but he deserves this...there was a time he put Sarah into a prison and it's his time to go. He knows it's not enough but still he will do anything to take out Sarah inner fear, he really wants her forgiveness.

It was almost night when he saw sarah sitting in the balcony of their room...she was aimlessly looking at the sky...he walk slowly and called her name 'sarah what you are thinking'

She shrugs like it doesn't matter 'how would you explain to dad and especially to Ava...you do know she is crazy about you...if you are gone for two months with no contact with her. She will be miserable...how can you do this to her'

Theo closes his eyes this was the most difficult. Yes, the same thoughts were in his mind...his little Ava will be so sad and confused.

He tiredly put his head on the chair he is sitting 'honestly I don't know anything right now. I know it is difficult but its very important too, very important Sarah... I need this ... I will think about something, what to tell dad and Ava but we both are tired so can be put this topic aside and sleep'

Sarah sighs 'ok but Theo are you really sure?'

Theo stand and walk Sarah towards the room 'you have no idea how sure I'm...now come don't think tonight about this'

But he knows this is the only topic that both will thing in the night

Theo walk towards his father office after two days later...he can see his father conditions improving ...his speech are almost normal, he is even getting out of the wheelchair and using a wooden stick to walk with.

'Mr grey this is great a few more steps and you can rest' the nurse encourage him

Mr grey huff 'young lady you are really tiring me...you know my daughter Sarah and my granddaughter will be coming at this time...'

The Nurse shake her head 'I told Mrs grey to come later you are behind your walking routine.....and no more argument on this just few more minutes and your done'

Theo coughed and said 'good morning. I hope I'm not disturbing you guys'

Mr grey never looked theo properly ...that always made theo ache and sad...he knew he lost his father love and respect a year ago in Miami ...'of course you are the disturbance for everyone' Mr grey hate for him, made theo flinched in grieve.

Nurse made Mr Grey sit down and excuse both of the

Mr Grey turned his back and said 'what you want. Why you are here'

Theo deserves this he knew it but damn it stings when his father talk to him like that when he clearly disgust his father.

Theo sit down on the couch next to Mr grey 'dad, I came here to talk about something...actually you know about how Sarah and I are using a therapist for months...and it works out great for us especially for Sarah but still they are things that are left to be done and solved which is only in our hand'

Mr. Grey ignored him and don't say a word...theo continue 'but dad...Becca our therapist told me to go away from here at least for 8 weeks at some place more likely a rehab on anger management, so I have decided to do that'

Mr Grey become tense he slowly turned his head 'you are going? for two months? (theo nodes) no..no I know you-you will run from there too...like you did in your teens... it's not in you to accept your mistakes and let other people live in peace'

Theo winced 'no dad I'm dead serious. I know I shouldn't have run from such places in my teen but now I have too many reasons to do this... I just came here to tell you I love you and I know you hate me and probably never gonna forgive me.....but please give me a chance to be your son again..please dad I will prove it to you in really changing....but till then I'm gone please took care of my family...especially Ava....(theo choked with emotions) she will need you more after me'

Mr Grey eyes become different too but he masked it 'Don't worry about Ava and Sarah they are always taken care by me even you are here or not'

Theo smile a little 'thank you so much, dad'

Mr grey don't answer him....leaving theo too sad

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'ok Ava ..don't pull this frock too much..you will tear it and be nice to your uncle mark' Theo saw how Sarah was making Ava sit at one place but his daughter want to take out those pink shiny shoes from her foot

'Mama I'm always good and I meet uncle mark before...right daddy' Ava confirmed from Theo

Theo replied 'wow you remember ...yes you did'

Ava takes off the shoes and tries to run.Theo laughed at his pro-active daughter

But Sarah caught her on time 'Ava Grey right now wear those shoes' she said in mom's voice

Ava pout, Sarah looked at theo 'why you are laughing at least come to make her wear these shoes and tell her not to take them off' Sarah walk towards the washroom

Theo smirked 'ok boss....come princess run to daddy and let wear your mom favorite colorful shoes'

Sarah glared at him and shakes her head...Ava who has already put the end of her frock on her mouth and was chewing it badly

'oh baby stop doing that otherwise your mama will shout at both of us'

Theo redo her dress and made her wear her shoes and pinched her cheeks. Theo saw how beautiful and adorable Ava is, she looks super cute....how he will live without her in 8 weeks...he shakes his head

He playfully spanked her butt 'now run to dada and show him you dress'

Ava 'okay dokay' and then she run like she is in a race

Theo smiled in wonder, where she learns such words.

He enters the bathroom and saw Sarah combing her hair. He was totally awestruck by her beauty...he always did but today she looked exceptionally beautiful with the red and black dress and open hair

He can't stop himself 'you looked ravishing ...totally the most beautiful women i have ever known'

Sarah stop what she was doing and turn to him with the stunned face like she still can't believe what he said 'really I do? I look presentable enough?'

her hesitant voice was a sucker punch to his gut. He still can see the insecurity Sarah had because of her beauty and it's all because of him....he still can't believe how he openly lied to her in that worse time and called her ugly

He softly said 'of course you are not only presentable but so elegant and beautiful looking...especially this color suits you so much.... I love anything you wore but today I'm mesmerized by your beauty' he lightly kissed her cheeks that made Sarah blushed so much

She timidly smiles 'thank you...you should get ready too...mark will be here... I will take out your clothes'

He smiled 'ok but no need to do my stuff I can do it'

Sarah replied while going out 'well I want to and since it's a casual dinner I don't want you to wear your stiff suits ' she lightly said

Theo laughed while taking out his shirt and opening the shower 'wow I never expect you criticizing my clothing'

Sarah enter the washroom but stop when she saw theo tone and fit body ',God! theo ...at least close the door' she turned her back

Theo smirked 'well I thought we are quite used to it now'

Sarah turned her face and shyly ogled him 'I'm going out and your clothes are outside'

Theo laughed loudly at her action ...but stops when he realized after tonight he will miss all this.

Theo shakes hands with Mark in a very manly and professional manner. He can still see how Mark was super tense and have anger in his eyes when he greets him but they both put a show for Sarah.

'Good to have you here Mark' Theo kindly said

Mark nodes and look away 'yeah I'm here for Sarah 'he tightly replied

Sarah came with a big smile 'come on every one dinner is ready and look at this (she pointed at all the gifts) Mark you don't have to bring this all'

Mark side hugged her sister 'its nothing and half of them are for my niece Ava...im making it for lost years' he kneel down and hugged Ava

Ava looks for the approval of her parents 'Thank you uncle Mark' Ava said

Mark picked her 'no problem sweet girl

In the dining table ...mark kept the conversation light even Sarah try to make the silence less awkward but it was all sorted when Mr Grey starts asking mark about his work and business...Theo shakes his head...thank god he doesn't have to talk to him because from his past experience they talk less and fight more.

He can saw how Sarah gives a nervous glance to mark and theo ...when they both will bust up but theo gives her an understanding node that comforts her enough

Mark then said 'so sarah how come you start working....i mean i always know you are talented but why now? did theo decided that he need a helping hand in office too' he baited everyone on the table
