My Love, Enlighten me

Kenny Clarke lifted up Tina Clarke the way he lifted up Gloria Taylor which was a bridal style.

She felt uncomfortable feeling her small body being carried with that style. It was no different with lying down.

She lifted her small legs and Kenny Clarke held her upright.

He held her with one hand, turned around and opened the study room.

He went in, looked at the mess in the room, and stared at it for a moment. He put Tina Clarke aside, crouched down and began to pick up things.

Tina Clarke was probably thinking that the room was too messy. She tiptoed to the edge of the sofa and climbed it. She rubbed her tiger doll while looking at Kenny Clarke going around.

After a few seconds, she asked Kenny Clarke curiously, “Dad, what are you doing?”

He said without looking up, “I’m picking up stuff from the floor.”

“Oh. I’ll give you hand.” she excitedly slid down from the sofa, ran to Kenny Clarke and began to help him picking up stuff from the floor.

However, she didn’t pick it up and fold it neatly like Kenny Clarke. She just stuff it in her arms and crumpled it up. Finally, she brought it to Kenny Clarke looking proud, “I’m pick these all up!”

Kenny Clarke took it and rubbed her head, “You’d better go and play.”

“Okay.” she curled he lips.

She didn’t think that picking up stuff was fun either.

At her age, she liked colorful and lovely toys. She had no interest in these white papers.

After Kenny Clarke done picking up stuff from the floor and put them back on the table, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

“Who is it?” he asked coldly.

“It’s me. Is Tina still here? I heated a cup of milk for her. She should take a bath and sleep.” said Gloria Taylor.

Kenny Clarke didn’t notice that it was almost ten o’clock.

He turned to Tina Clarke and found that she was listening the voice at the door with her ears erect.

She was sitting on the sofa with head tilted sideways and eyes moving around. She was apparently attracted by the voice outside the door.
