Chapter 214: Bad person

  "I am very sorry mum, but actually I am not happy with the way you often barge into my room, just see the way you woke me up, I know you have your reasons for waking me up like that, but do you really have to do that this way? Don't you think that I deserve a little privacy?"

 I asked. She stared at me Intently, more like, she doesn't like the way I was interrogating her, I then heaved a heavy sigh, before taking steady strides towards the door, I stop to stare at her, she was still sitting on the bed, more like one who was shocked to the marrow. But I just can't go on keeping malice with my sweet mom during the Christmas celebration.

  "Are you walking out on me?"

She asked, having that shocked expression, this was when I realized that I had acted disrespectful towards her, but I couldn't help it, she just woke me up from a sweet dream, for goodness sake I was kissing Cynthia. I had to get a grip on myself, I knew that I might have gone too far this time, I had to make a correction and put things right. I then took a deep breath before walking back to her.

  "I am sorry mum...but I am a grown-up for crying out loud, and I need to be given some privacy sometimes"

So I said, I saw her nod her head, before cupping my cheeks, just like she often does.

  "My love, you need to be patient and careful with your youthful age, because this is the age that is always full an anxiety, desperation to rebel and explores, to go out there and experience the world. But what my advice to you is that you should not let your youthful age deceive you, son, this is the period that many teens especially the ones your age often commit themselves to acts that will cause them to have regrets, you must never allow it to take charge of your mind and thoughts, the moment you allow this, it will take over your life."

She said soothingly, she was right, I know shouldn't have acted the way I did, she has done nothing but be a Caring Mother, she is my mother the one I'll always cherish and love, I immediately hug her, portraying all my emotions through that hug. She had been there for me all my life, judging from the circumstances surrounding my conception, she would have chosen to drop me at the mother's baby home, but she didn't, she kept, took care and loved me even more than any mother could love a normal child, there was never a time that she saw me as a stress or a barrier to her success even though I knew that it was because of me that she chose to be single till date, of course, she wouldn't like to remain single her whole life, but for the sake of my happiness she was ready to die single, she definitely does not deserve any form of disrespect from me. 

And when she spoke to me about my teenage life, I knew she also referred to the incident with Cynthia, the one that she found us in a compromising situation, yeah, she was also referring to it, but she just did not want to go too deep because of the atmospheric condition of our mood

  "Thank you very much for being my mum, I wouldn't have asked for anyone better, I love you mom, I love you." 

I said, as she ruffled my humdinger gold straight hair, I giggled because of the way that she did it, she wore that smile on her face, that smile that make her look even more beautiful and younger than her age.

  "I will love to tell you something son"

 She said making me give her my utmost attention, because the moment she spoke about telling me something, I knew it was a surprise, and that surprise could be a long-anticipated one.

 "okay mum, I am listening, tell me mom." 

I replied inquisitively, now, that is me being anxious, maybe because we were both gossip partners, This is one of the characteristics, that we both shared which made our bond to see even stronger and unbreakable, I believe it was rather an amazing quality. Sometimes mom and I even behave like couples, we could just sit down together discussing other people from her workplace or neighbors, I know it was a bad habit, but I love it because it brought us closer.

  "I am sure that you know that today is Boxing Day, and I was thinking if we can repeat these things we had yesterday tomorrow, I will like to know your take on us going to the zoo, I'll like to have some quality time with you, and Mr. Matt will also want a chat with you too." 

She explained carefully trying not to offend me.

"That was only what I came to ask you when I found you coddling and kissing the pillow, I felt you were having a dream so I have to wake you."

Mom explained very politely, I actually felt bad about the way I behaved towards her this morning, she had been here only to yell me this and I have made her feel bad, I am a bad person, so, she only came to give me a piece of news that only make me feel so excited, I really love party, even though I do not go out of the house. now I have deemed her mood, and reduced her joy, at the moment I felt like an ungrateful son, I just didn't know what to do to correct my wrongs.
