109- Shocking News

Sarah pov

"Why everything is so quiet here?" I said while coming inside, holding Keith’s hand.

Well! For some odd reason, my heart had this strange sinking feeling.

"I have always found this mansion deathly silent. Always quiet and ... so... boring. If Justin was not my friend, I would never have stepped here." Keith remarked while holding my hand.

Near the staircase, he took me by surprise by lifting me up. I squealed and bumped a fist at him playfully, "Put me down. I am good."

"I want to lift my daughter's mommy!" he said in a low whisper making me giggle. I was about to lean my head against his chest when I heard someone yelling at the top of his lungs.

"SARAH!"

"Who the fuck is this?” Keith mumbled stopping at the third stair, "Can't they call you in a decent way?"

I held his chin and looked into his eyes, "I think... it’s dad.” I explained and started wiggling in his arms, "Please put me down."

"Nah. I am not putting you down. The old man must have enjoyed his life when he was young. Now he should let us ..."

Before poor Keith couldn’t finish it, I again heard Dad shouting, "SARAH!"

Gosh! Dad was making me embarrassed in front of my dear man. We were not on talking terms but now my dad couldn’t seem to wait...

"Sarah! HAVE YOU GONE DEAF? GET HERE! NOW!"

"Your old man has gone mad. He needs to d...” Keith stopped in time, but I knew he was going to say, ’to die'. I didn't mind. Dad had been acting so crazy since I started dating Keith.

I never knew he had this worst side and unfortunately, Keith never witnessed his good side.

Turning around, Keith got down the steps and then put me down.

"You stay here and let me go to him,” I said but he had already started shaking his head at my suggestion.

"That's not happening." He said stubbornly, "I am not letting you go alone."

"Come on, baby. He is my father."

"And I am the father of the child inside you. I can't let the mommy of my baby go alone. He is mentally not ok." Keith said wrapping his arm around my shoulder and started walking beside me.

"Why is he coming here? I didn't invite him." Dad was standing in front of his bedroom door, placing his hand on his hip.
