Twisted Love 74 Path To Heaven 3

His answer was only but a single word.

"Yes"

Not understanding the context of the conversation, Johnathan came to his own conclusion. Sofia was leaving him.

Not being able to take anything else apart from the point where Sofia was leaving, He bawled his eyes out. It was the type of crying that even the person not in the hallway could hear him.

A door slammed open just as Johnathan was 3 seconds into crying. A half dressed Sofia burst out of her room startled, looking around for the source of crying.

Seeing the cause of his dilemma, Johnathan got louder. It was. .h.i.tting him harder. She was really leaving.

Having no indication of stopping, Vincent signaled Sofia to go on back inside her room and continue getting ready. As she was not moving from her position, he voiced out, "I'll take care of him. Go on in."

Taking Johnathan into his arms, Vincent made his way into Johnathan's room. Setting him down on his bed, Vincent got down to his level and looked him in the eyes.

"What is wrong?" He was not a very wordy person and his son knew that.

Taking a while to get himself calm enough to talk, Johnathan said while hiccuping "Auntie not love me anymore. She leaving me." Just as saying the last few words, it hit him harder to admit it himself. The water works started allover again.

Finally getting the point, Vincent could only sigh and take the weeping child in a gentle hold. "She is not leaving forever." making Johnathan look him in the eyes, Vincent continued "Only for a day. Auntie is meeting a friend. She will be back."

The water works ended just as Johnathan understood the different meanings of leaving. Just to double check the point he asked "Auntie not leaving me? Coming back?"

Just a nod of conformation from Vincent was all it took for the kid to calm down and fall asleep in peace after his crying episode.

Exiting Johnathan's room after putting the child in bed, Vincent saw Sofia coming out of her room all ready for the night. A short white dress, white heels and a cream handbag and an over night bag. She was ready to go.

Seeing Vincent in the hallway, Sofia asked about Johnathan the minute she opened her mouth in concern "Why was Johnathan crying? Is he ok?"

"He just thought you were leaving forever." looking from Johnathan's room to Sofia, "He has become dependent on you. Dont know what I will do when you actually leave forever."

"Why would he think I was leaving forever?" Sofia inquired in confusion.

"When he asked why you were not the one getting him ready for bed, I said you where going out." Shaking his head with a sigh, "He took you leaving as not loving him anymore. But I got rid of this confusion. Dont worry. Now you better be on your way. It is getting late."

Vincent walked towards Sofia slowly and reached out to her as he got closer. Taking her overnight bag from her hand, he made his way downstairs with her.

Reaching the front door, he turned towards Sofia "I will have the driver drop you off at Ben's place, with a few bodyguards around the place."

"Why do I need bodyguards?" She inquired.

"I like being careful. And as you have been staying with us for awhile now, it is always good to be safe then sorry. And don't worry, they will be out of your way. But if You need anything, just let them know."

And so Sofia was on her way to Ben's Surprise with a security detail fit for a queen unknowingly.
