THE CEO AND ME!-Chapter 204 - AVA...HER LITTLE ANGEL!
"How long??"
"Just a bit more, doll!"
She said, running the pencil tip over the white canvas. She was having a hard time, drawing even the outline as her object of drawing kept moving.
"Ava, you need to remain still, baby girl!"
Tinsley let out and the small girl stomped on her feet, not wanting to be staying put in one position.
"But my legs hurt, mummy!"
Little Ava complained to her mother. The sun was shining bright, over the head and Tinsley was trying to get that view on her canvas with her little girl, shining in between.
But having a jumpy girl like her, it was just not possible to complete one painting that had her as the object.
Ava squirmed, rubbing her eyes off, humming and looking else were wanting to run after the butterfly or the ladybug or just casually stroll around the field instead of standing in one place.
Tinsley gave up, dropping the pencil on the green grass. It was a failing case even to think to paint her.
"Fine! Let's go then!"
Tinsley said, wrapping her stuff back inside the satchel. And little Ava ran up to her mother.
"Now I get to have the ice cream right, mummy?"
She asked, very excitedly. Tinsley had promised her with a vanilla scoop of ice cream if she remained still and let her complete the painting yet it did not go the way it had been planned.
"Right, mummy?"
Ava pulled onto her mother's skirt, trying to grab her attention. Tinsley thought in her head and knew that if she did not oblige, her little angel would not hesitate to throw a tantrum in the middle of the park, in front of everyone.
"Yes, Ava! But only one scoop as said before!"
Tinsley remarked and Ava shook her head in positive, clapping her hands, jumping up and down.
Getting the things inside her satchel and wearing it over her shoulder, Tinsley forwarded her pinky finger for her daughter to hold onto.
"Common now! Hold mummy's pinky!"
Ava grabbed onto her mother's pinky and they both headed out of the park to the nearby ice cream parlour for one scoop vanilla cone.

"Mummy!!! Mummy!!"
Tinsley heard her daughter's scream and she dropped the phone to go find her from wherever she was screaming.
Her heart was racing, thinking if something had happened to bet little angel.
"Where is my Ava dolly??"
"In here, mummy!!"
Ava yelled out with her little voice. Tinsley followed the voice and saw her sitting down on the garden, in the mud.
"Baby!! What happened?"
Tinsley asked, putting a hand on her chest, sighing that nothing serious had happened as so she had been thinking.
"Boo boo!"
Ava answered,pointing to her forefinger. Tinsley joined her on the ground, sitting to her level.
She picked up her daughter's little right forefinger in her hands and so a little redness to the side. She must have got hurt playing around.
And being a drama queen, her little munchkin had to scream out about her nonexistent boo boo.
"Awww!! How did it happen??"
She questioned, rubbing the finger as Ava's eyes watered and it broke Tinsley's heart to see tears on her pure big eyes.
"My baby!! Hop into mummy's arm and the pain will go away!"
Ava jumped inside her mother's arm, wrapping her small arms around Tinsley's neck.
Tinsley hugged her daughter back tightly, pasting her small figure to her chest, smelling her faint baby smell.
"Mummy loves you so much and pain will go away right away!"
Tinsley murmured, rubbing her small back. Ava nodded, hugging her mother close to her. Google search 𝙛𝘳𝘦𝐞𝑤ℯ𝗯n𝗼ѵe𝑙. c૦𝑚
"Is it fading away??"
She nodded. It was always the cure. Whenever she would get hurt, Tinsley would hug her to her chest and she would explain to her little lady bird that how the power of love could evade away any kind of pain.
"Is my Ava Dolly feing better now?"
The little girl nodded and it delighted how much naive and innocent she was. It was the purity in her little heart that was so eye catching.
And it was this naiveity of the little heart that Tinsley wanted to protect at all cost, not wanting it to be corrupted by the means of this big cruel world.
She had promised herself that she would not let Ava to go through the same dark shit she had to go through, running her version of the existence of the happy world.
"Everything will be fine because..."
"...the magic of love can heal anything!"
Ava completed, clapping her hands and Tinsley smiled, kissing her baby girl on her forehead.
And just like that everything was forgotten, she started running around the garden as if she had not been crying out for help a while ago.
Tinsley watched her dance around the small backyard, her big eyes smiling at the sun, the wind, the tress...for her the world was so big and beautiful and Tinsley wanted to keep it that way...no matter whatever the kind of hardship would come to her way.
She could remember only a very few moments where she was playing, being so carefree out in the wind with her mother.
Marshally was not a bad mother...she was just too submissive and followed her husband's command of how to be a mother rather than listening to her heart...a mother's heart in parenting her daughter.
And it could have been there, where Tinsley craved that kind of attention...motherly attention from her mother who was busy being the shadow of her father.
It was this loneliness, the feeling of being left alone in the big mansion...the big greener field underneath that big blue sky or someday under the huge chandelier...it made her ache for freedom so much.
Anna Maria was there for her in all the way up...yet she was not her mother, she was just a nanny, paid to look after her.
Could have been why she ran after him, tried to get his attention in the fields and make him her friend to play with??
It could have been for so many reasons yet nothing mattered now that she had her daughter...her little ray of sunshine.
She vowed to do right by her...to be the mother she craved for...
________________________________________________
Being a parent was never going to be easy.
Getting pregnant with a child, pushing it out of your body, raising it from a baby to a toddler and then to a sensible person...was never easy.
Tinsley roamed around the house, barefoot, picking up all the scattered toys on the floor in the living room.
The kettle went off at six in the morning. She hurried to get the bread toasted and get the pie ready.
Her little girl was starting preschool today. It was a big day for both the mother and the daughter.
Getting the breakfast ready, packed her school bag, and then ran towards the bedroom to wake up her sleeping princes.
"Wakey, wakey! Princess!!"
Tinsley got on the bed, tickling her munchkin's sides. She squirmed, rolled to the other side, not liking what her mother was doing at all...hmm not even one bit.
"We will be late for your preschool baby!"
With so much struggle, lifting Ava up and getting her inside the bathroom for a quick bath.
Bathing a kid was like taking a bath yourself and it was how it happened here too. Tinsley was all wet by the time, they both got out of the bathroom.
She dried herself and Ava with the big towel. Picking out the clothes that her little highness had chosen the very other day, she dressed her up.
Her red hairs were as shiny as hers...a bit different from hers with the hazelnut texture, making it unique altogether.
She dropped a kiss on her head, after trying the ponytails. Ava ran down to the kitchen for her breakfast.
"Pie! pie!"
She exclaimed, clapping her hands. She loved pie. It was what Marshelly liked too.
Tinsley smiled, cutting a piece for her daughter. Feeding a kid was just as excruciating a job as leaving her in the preschool.
They both danced their way out of the house, Tinsley holding the barbie pink backpack.
________________________________________________
Leaving your only sweet child in the school was the hardest starting of the separation phase for a mother...and so many more were yet to come.
Not to start with full-time school, then growing up and staying up at a friend's house, jumping to high school and later leaving for college...
Tinsley closed her eyes, disheartened that it was what the future was going to be like. She did not like it one bit.
She wanted her Ava, close to her all the damn time. She was her soul, her light, her salvation.
As she waited outside the gate of the preschool, she saw her little Ava getting out, smiling...but in the opposite direction. Tinsley followed it through her eyes...
"Daddy!!!"
