"Rayn! Rayn get downstairs! Now!" She yelled while pacing in that small dining area with her hands on her hip. Seriously this has become a routine now! The rays hitting through the glass door irritated her but instead she focused her stare on the stairway with hope of seeing her son coming out of his room. She sighed as the oven beeped. She was sure that she was going to be late.

Again. Shaking her head she walked inside the kitchen and switched off the oven.

Hearing no footsteps she did not even bother taking out their breakfast out of oven instead decided to take the matters in her own hand. Her loose stands of hair were irking so she tucked them behind her ear while walking towards the stairs.

As she was climbing the stairs the huge clock caught her attention and she huffed. Her boy was surely in a lot of trouble. Pushing open the door she walked inside spotting her son still in bed.

She observed his features. He looked so peaceful and angelic while he was in a deep slumber but once he wakes up he is exact opposite of that. As much as she would prefer him a little less hyper and excited, calm like this she couldn't help but scoot closer to the bed.

"Rayn! Honey it's time to wake up" She whispered as she slumped her behind beside his sleeping form. She patted his arm while whispering the same but there was no response from him. She grinned as she knew the only trick left to wake him. She mentally patted herself for the idea. Carefully she pulled his duvet away which he was holding on pretty tightly. It was a task that he did not wake by the pull but he did scrunch his nose and his eyebrows twitched at the moment.


As soon as the duvet was lying away from his she clutched his leg and slowly raised it and her fingers lightly grazed his feet. She was sure she felt him squirm at the action but he did not blink his eyes. That little minx! Two can play this game she thought.


Without hesitation she started moving her fingers on his feet, creating the tickle. She laughed as he squealed while kicking his little feet. In an instant the room was filled with laughter.

"Mum stop! Stop it! Please I'll pee" He let out a loud squeak while  giggling softly. She smiled looking at him.

Huffing he got a few inches away from her ticklish fingers and she almost let out a laugh at his attempt. His face always made her think about his father. He looked so much like his father that it was difficult for her to look at him at times. With his soft dark brown feathery locks and plum like cheeks along with those hazel browns he sure was going to be a heartbreaker. He was so notorious and sly, all the time creating trouble that she couldn't help but associate him with her ex husband.

"Good morning mum" He whispered, his rasp soft voice interrupting her thoughts. She focused back on him. He slid closer to her on his knees as he preferred not to be tickled on his feet again.

"Good morning Rayn." Laughing she pressed a kiss on his hair while rested his head on her shoulder.

"Did you sleep well baby?" She asked, picking him up and placing him on his lap. At age five, he was smaller compared to others. The doctor said it was just his growth spurt and also he got that from her. She was small for her age as well. As long as he was getting proper nutrition he was healthy.

"Yes." he replied while yawning. His hair were mess and he had drool at the corner of his lips.

"Good. Now hun how about you get up and get ready? We need to get to school." He groaned while shaking his head and let his head fall back on her chest. She found it amusing.

"Now come on sweetheart." She gave him one last kiss and stood up. He clung on her like a koala bear. She knew he was being difficult so instead she walked with him, still in her arms till the bathroom and deposited him on the counter of wash basin.
