After few minutes she tried to get up but I tightened my hold and pulled her closer.
“Ry I need to go to the bathroom or else I will pee in your bed.” And that made me release who wouldn’t. She chuckled and got off the bed stretching and went to the bathroom. Whereas I laid back for more time, thinking of the past few hours before we slept.
Me from being nervous to relieved after saying everything and knowing about the Gardener family then to being scared of not knowing her answer to preparing myself for the worst and then to breaking down. With a deep yawn I got up from my bed and stretched.
“Ry I need a toothbrush.” Came a call from the bathroom.
I went inside and found her rampaging the entire bathroom and chuckled at her annoyed form. She can get annoyed very easily. I bent down to open the drawer under the sink and got the new brush I had stocked and gave it to her to which she puffed.
“Can’t you keep it somewhere where it can be found.” She said irritatingly and went to open the drawers searching for the paste and the paste she found was empty.
“Ry for once can you throw the empty things in dustbin?” She said puffing and went back to searching for the paste. Well I do have the habit of forgetting to throw off the empty things, be it paste or shampoo bottles.
I bent down to help her get the new paste. After giving that to her, she started brushing her teeth after putting the paste on her brush. I went to take my brush and after taking the paste from her, putting paste on the brush and brushed along with her. I didn’t know these moments together were something I missed a lot until I met her again. Thank god that she kept appearing in front of me unintentionally.
After we were done with our morning things, we both got down the stairs and turned to left to go to the kitchen that had dining room attached to it and saw Aunt Jennifer, my housekeeper. She has been there as our housekeeper from the time I was 4 year till now. She is like a mother-like figure to me not only because she is 52-year-old, but because she used to scold me but still took care of me when I had hangovers from the alcohol. Always advised me not to go on the wrong path that I was going. I just never paid any heed to it. I do regret it but I can’t say I do regret it very much because it was what made me what I am today. I am not too regretful but not too happy for my decisions in past.
But one thing I am sure that I am very happy is to see Kat checking what was for breakfast and almost drooling over the tasty pancake Aunt J was making to which the latter laughed seeing Kat’s impatience. I chuckled and went around the kitchen to put my arms around Kat’s waist after saying Aunt J good morning and picked Kat up and walked around the counter to much of hers protests like a 4-year-old kid and put her on one of the seats and before she could jump back down, I pecked her lips. She blushed and covered her cheeks in her palms and leaned to me, which made me chuckle she was such a cutie pie, my cute kitty Kat. When I looked up, I saw Aunt J smile at me warmly knowing the meaning behind her smile and I returned my smile to confirm her thoughts on the new me, the happy one.
