IT GETS BETTER WITH TIME. <NOT EDITED>

Chapter Thirty Five-reunite

My mom keeps appearing in my dreams and it's not one of those sad or dramatic dreams but it's just calming and happy ones. They weirdly give me peace.

This one time, I dreamt of her plaiting my hair, while we sat comfortably at the front yard of our old house. My legs were crossed and I really enjoyed the feel of the blanket on my skin while my mom was on her knees, behind me.

"Are you happy sthandwa sam?" she asked and a smile reached my eyes while I nodded my head gradually.

"You know mama will always protect and love you, right?"

I nod again, enjoying her soothing sweet voice.

Speaking was hard hence I enjoyed the feel of her fingertips on my scalp. This is what she used to do, when she was still alive and healthy and making sense of it, Nathi does the exact same thing. I've missed that from her alot.

"And this man better treat you like a queen," her voice held authority and protectiveness.

"Trust me, ma, he treats me that way everyday."

"I can tell. Your smile shows how fond you are of him, I like that," she uttered with a full blown smile.

These dreams tell me very well how much happy she is for me. And I know that she'll always protect me, even though she is a star up above, she'll forever be with me.

It's raining outside but I don't get why this man is playing basketball outside.

It's very cold and Nathi drives me insane lately. Always clingy and whining. He behaves like a teenage boy, and I'm the mother who has to scold him all the damn time.

I never thought moving back in with him would've turned out like this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy but Nathi is tiring.

"Nathi, what the hell is wrong with you?"

I immdiately regret stepping my foot outside the house with no robe on and no umbrella protecting my structure. Now I stand half naked at the basketball court, shouting at an old ass man.

He ignores me and continues bouncing the ball, tossing and turning then shoots.

If this was another day, I'd be admiring his greek body but right now I'm just feeling cold and very wet.

"Nathi," I yell again.
But still he ignores me.

I do the unthinkable. I run to him and attack his back by jumping on it.

Damn I'm so glad he manages to steady himself but either way, I fall on my butt in the process and I swear the pain stings.

He turns around and looks down at me with pure shockness on his face before he decides to help me up.

I swear this guy is holding in a laugh and I'm about to Naruto his ass.

"Busi," he smiles and takes his headphones off.

This explains it.

"It's raining. Why the hell are you outside?"
I quiver because of the cold.

"Are you okay?" he ignores me and reaches for my butt then he rubs it.

"Can we please go back inside the house. You'll be sick," I pout.

It's funny how I keep mentioning his health as if mine is just not that important.

"You'll take care of me. I love the feel of the rain right now," he smirks.

Oh he's testing my patience.
