Her Touch [Completed]

Forty Eight

Song ^ Mood Swings by Pop Smoke

Walking downstairs the next morning, I heard my mom singing happy birthday. I knew she was in the kitchen and it was currently ten in the morning, a little too early for my liking but my mom was purposely trying to wake me up.

When I walked in the kitchen, I saw her standing at the stove cooking something. I kept watching her as she was singing and moving around a little. She didn't see me yet, so I had the opportunity to scare her.

I walked to the counter then hopped on it before sitting down. I watch her for a moment until she turns around and yells when she sees me.

Chuckling, I held my arms out to her then saw her walk to me. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her as she did the same.

I wore a sweatshirt to bed last night, knowing I was going to wake up to my mom the next morning. I made sure that she still didn't know about my cuts.

I stopped for right now. I haven't had an urge to cut, so my recent cuts were going away and they were turning into scars.

When we pulled back, she smiled up at me. "Happy Birthday, sweetie." She cups my face, bringing my head down to her level before kissing my forehead. "Twenty years old today."

"It doesn't feel like it." I watch as she smiles, patting my legs before walking back to the stove.

"You never really feel like you're getting older." Mom kept cooking as she was talking to me. "Until you actually start getting older and experiencing backaches and body aches."

I watch as she turns to look at me before smiling. "I made you breakfast."

"Thanks." I smile, hopping off the counter and walking to the fridge. I grabbed the milk out before walking to the cabinet and looking for a cup.

"Dylan called earlier and said that she was making you a cake today. She said whenever you wake up and spend time with me, she has you a surprise over there."

I stopped pouring then looked over at her as she was standing in front of the stove. I felt my heart slowly beat in my chest then shook my head and continued to pour the milk.

Placing it back in the fridge, I grabbed the cup then stood next to my mom as she was cooking. I saw eggs and bacon in the pan, feeling my stomach start rumbling.

After it was done, I grabbed a plate and started placing some eggs and bacon on it. I went to the table and sat down, watching mom do the same as she had a plate in her hands.

We ate mostly in silence, talking a little about whatever came to mind.

"Caleb is coming over today. He said he wanted to give you a present also."

I smile as I sipped my milk before placing the cup on the table and looking at her. "Yeah, Kyndra said that she wanted us to do things later today."

I basically had a whole day planned out today.

After we were done eating, I helped her cleaned.

"You go ahead and go over to Dylan's. After you get back, we'll go do something together. Ok?" She smiled at me.

I nod then hugged her before walking out of the kitchen then upstairs to my room. I went through my clothes to find something to wear, not sure what though.

After settling for a regular shirt and shorts, I slid my shoes on before grabbing my phone. I didn't bother texting Dylan and telling her I was on my way over cause I wanted it to be a surprise.

I walked back downstairs, saying bye to my mom as I walked out the front door.

It was really hot outside today and I'm glad I wore shorts. I can't stand this heat and it's ridiculous.
