Naughty Valen

He gently poked her cheek, thinking his finger would pass through, but instead, her cheek dipped and the smooth soft texture of her face made his heart race. 

Is this real? Is my mum really back?!

He touched her nose and then played with her eyelashes. When he saw her eyes moving, Valen chuckled but didn't stop. He continued to play with her face before an idea struck him. 

He got down from the bed and hurried to his wardrobe where his school bag was. He brought out a marker and hurried back to the bed. 

Valen uncapped the marker and started drawing on his mother's face with soft laughter now and then.

Once he was done, he kept the marker on the top of the drawer beside the bed before he wrapped his hand around her and went to sleep again.

A few hours later, Jeslyn awakens to the delicious aroma of coffee. 

"Mum, you're awake."
