Burn

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♡ Please Don't Stop the Music ♡

After about 2 hours, I have a rough choreograph for the latter part of the song so I decide to call it a day and clean up the room before heading back on my way to the apartment. It's now about 1pm so, on the way home I pop into the grocery store to pick up a few things for the apartment and also a sneaky snack for myself.

I reach my apartment, two bags in hand, and set them on the kitchen counter. My mum pops round the corner, almost shocked to see me home. "Oh hello honey, I didn't realise you were home today." It's only when she fully walks into the kitchen when I see that she's dressed up in a cute long flown dress adorned in colourful flowers, her best jewellery on and her hair done up.
"We don't have filming today so I just went to practice my routine alone. Where are you going?" I give her a quick look as if to tell her that I know that she looks extra special today.
"Well, I sort of have a lunch date." She sighs and I can see her fiddling with her necklace showing me she's nervous of my response.
"That's nice, I didn't realise you were hitting up the streets and catching everyone's eyes." I wink at her and seeing her chuckle at my gesture made me smile. My mum deserves to be happy. I know she used to be with my dad before she fell pregnant and he revealed he was already a married man. He decided to run, leaving her alone with me. I would never be upset with her dating again because I know that now she has the freedom of not taking care of me constantly, I want her to take this opportunity to find her own happiness. We exchange a couple more words about her mystery man and before she leaves I give out a few more compliments to boost her confidence to where she needs it to be.

Once the door shuts I'm left in a blissful silence to allow myself a deep breath. I put away the last bits of the food I bought and sit down with the dried mango I had bought myself while scrolling through TikTok for god knows how long. I check the time and notice it's now 7pm and I should be getting ready. I hop into the shower, scrubbing the sweat off of myself. I put my hair up into a towel and wear a bathrobe only to go and put my makeup on.
