CHAPTER 6

He replies back with the following words, " I love you too in return, I will be returning to Casablanca tomorrow. 

 I made this promise because I missed you all a lot and I am dying to see you two mum and dad, but till then I  still remain your only and loyal son Nick". 

 Nick needs to be extra sure of the message he was to send to mom and dad. As he carefully looks at every detail in the message, re-reads the words from letters to words, even the punctuation marks, to be sure that he is conveying the right message. 

 Nick's parents are highly educated, and they will definitely get more disappointed and embarrassed if their son is not able to compose a message to them.

 I now feel more satisfied that the message, Mom or Dad or both, maybe reading has passed all the criteria of a good message, zero errors in forms of mistakes. My CHECK ERROR APP has just finished it's work on that.

  I just have this Confidence with my customised application, everything looks very okay, and the message is clear, understandable and straight to the point, no unnecessary beating around the bush. 

 After satisfying that the message met his criteria, he then forwards the message to his parents, by the press of the send button on his phone, he sees the message get delivered.

 "I hope Mom doesn't all of a sudden become too emotional with the text message I have just sent to her, because I would have myself to be blamed for the negative result or outcome of my actions.

 I just wished she saw the message from my exact viewpoint and the way that I have pictured and intended the message, anything aside from that will just be a big disaster.

 I love her so much that I wouldn't want her to get hurt. I also just hope that dad is close and next to her to hold her hands and give her an earnest embrace. So help me God, Amen" this time around Nick plays around with some poetic expressions.

 Mom's words seem to have lightened his hope and made it brighter again. All of a sudden, he had a rumble tummy. It is past 6pm, he has just been drinking and eating some junk that has entered his stomach, and no real solid food. 

 I may just order a good meal, but for the meantime I just need to quench this urgent hunger quest before they tear my tummy apart.

 He goes to his fridge, opens it up and picks at random what is left in his fridge, his hands could get a pack of yogurt, a milkshake and some sausage roll. 

 This was to prevent an early stage of stomach ulcer from occurring, since he dislikes drugs or even visiting the Hospital. 

 Lately he has not been consistent with his regular routine, like in eating the right kind of food, drinking the appropriate beverages and most important of them all a good exercise in the early past days.

 While I am gulping and sipping my yogurts and milkshake, I get a knock at my door, "please who is at the door" I ask.

"It is a member of the kitchen chef staffs,"

 In Nick's little palace, he easily gets interrupted with maybe a knock on his door, or a call on his intercom lines, or just some ugly wacko dude or some cute chick having one message or another to tell him.

 Sir, you are forgetting something", it is a female voice that sounds soft and angelic.

 "Please come in", replied Nick, anxious to know what he was forgetting.

 Honestly, confessing these words in his mind "I have never set my eyes on her before, she is damn beautiful too". Caught in between the lines of being distracted and daydreaming.

 Chef Salome called him back, to his happening reality. "Yea" replied Nick.

"Here is your cute and adorable Hercules. He really misses you alot" replied the chef, who handed over his dog back to him.

"Oh, thank you. I told chef Salome "Cutie, Cutie" to respond to the call and backing of the dog. I have missed you very much" he gives his dog the warmest cuddling ever.

I was filled with the rush and excitement of seeing my Hercules,

that he totally forgot the presence of the chef still in the room.

"Sir, I want to know if I can render any other services," she chuckles.  "Or I should be allowed to leave" these latter words sound flirting but it may not really be so. 

 She is just endowed with a nice voice that pierces into one's bone marrow. So I do not have to start imagining the wrong things. 

"Yes, that is if you are less busy and have no duties to do in the kitchen anymore" says Nick here ensuring that work takes more priority over leisure and her free times.

"No, sir. Today is my off day, it is just that Hercules misses you a whole lot. I have been the person managing Hercules when you are not around.

"Thank you, please what is your name?'' He needs to address her by her first name and cut all the crap out of too much professionalism. He dearly appreciates all of her kind gestures toward the dog for whatever she does to the dog indirectly is doing it to him.

"I'm Chef Salome, sir are you feeling hungry, because I still have leftovers from the meal I personally prepared, I swear down they taste nice. And if I may beg, I would love you to have a taste of it and access my cooking skills if I am still good at it or totally poor with those skills" says chef Salome.

This must be a real deal for chef Salome, and I will not want her sincere wishes not to be granted or fulfilled.

"Okay, you may bring it. I will be so eager to enjoy the meal you've prepared" says Nick, just representing the perfect gentleman in the chef's eyes.

Chef Salome, not giving close attention to the floor area, she was stepping her feets on, stumbled at an object which tripped her into falling.

"Ahh" Salome was seeing herself falling and unable to control where she was landing.

"Thank you, sir for saving me from falling" these words were said after a couple of seconds without saying a single word to each other, rather than just staring at themselves.

she literally fell on top of the body of Nick giving him a full chest hug. Nick felt her softenness, resting on his chest region.It has been a while since he had such a hug, and it will be registered today in his mind for even more days to come by.

"Oh, I am so sorry sir. I will go and get it for you" replied chef Salome. She probably felt something different. The hard surface of his chest jamming her soft chest was an awesome experience. She leaves Nick's room to get what she has prepared
