Nate woke up the next day feeling a little nervous, because if he didn't come back with Jasmine as his girlfriend again, his father was going to grind him alive.
He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a piss. After that he took a shower and while he was in the process of wearing his clothes, there was a knock on his door. " Wait a second" he said, putting on his jeans in a hurry. After he checked himself in the mirror to look if he was decent. After making sure he was fine, he went and open the door.
" Oh, good morning mother." apparently it was his mother who was on the door. He moved to let his mother in." Is there anything wrong?" he asked when his mother didn't say anything.
" I just wanted to remind you that what you are doing right now is for your own good. And you should make sure that you come back with Jasmine." his mother reminded him.
" Okay I get it, you have told me a thousand times already." he said while sitting on the edge of the bed. He really didn't want to be reminded of that early in the morning.
" I was just making sure if we are still on the same page." his mother said shifting to look at him. " You know that I am doing this for you right?" she asked.
" Yes I know mom, you have told me already." he said, smiling. He really loves his mother, he couldn't defy any of her request, and that is why he is willing to do this now. If it was his father who asked him, he wouldn't have agreed.
" Okay then, you can come down to have breakfast." his mother said walking towards the door.
" Yeah I will be right down in a minute." Nate said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
After his mother left he lay down on the bed and starred at the ceiling absentmindedly. His mind kept wondering what would happen today.
His thought were broken by his mother calling him , "Are you coming or what?"his mother shouted.
" Yeah I am coming" he said and quickly went downstairs. When he got there, he didn't see his father, so he asked " Uh—mom where is dad?"
" Oh, he had an early meeting today, so he left before breakfast, did you need something from him?" she asked.
" Uh—no just asking." he said sitting down on the dining table. The aroma of the food that his mother cooked wafter his nose and it smelled great. His father wanted to hire a chef but his mother loved cooking so they never had a chef, and his mother was a great cook.
" Dig in." his mother said as she settled down and started to eat. The food was delicious, as expected. Nate loved his mother's food more that he loved food from a five star hotel.
" So did she agree to meet you today?" she asked Nate, starting the conversation.
" Yes she did agree, we will be meeting for lunch." Nate replied.
" Oh, okay then, let's just hope that you can convince her to come back." his mother said, sighing.
" But I am not sure, she is stubborn as hell." Nate said, looking at his mother.
" Well then you will have to try harder make her agree. Do whatever it takes." his mother said.
" Okay mother, I should get going now." Nate said, standing up.
" Okay, I will see you later." said his mother, standing to walk him to the door. The mother sighed and closed the door. She really hoped her son would succeed.
