He knew that his father had an up most interest and will do anything to keep him safe and happy. His father had been the rock in his life and he did not want to disappoint him. He will do anything to gain his father trust and respect. All this while his father had been there for him through his best and worst day of his life. It was the Saturday morning, Mikael and Nick had made plans to spend the day together, going for brunch, going to the movies and have dinner where then Nick will be spending the night with him. Nick had promised him and so he had dragged himself up from slumber and went to the bathroom for showers. He had made sure he double clean and freshen up himself for Nick. He did so with his bath after one hour long. They had decided to meet at ten o'clock where Nick is going to come by his place and fetch him. It's already nine forty five, five minutes till time and Mikael were anxious for the arrival of Nick. He paced up and down in the living room, once a while glancing at the clock on the wall. He walked up to the tall mirror hanging by the door frame and take a look at himself again, making sure everything alright. It was already five minutes after ten o'clock, and Nick was already late by five minutes, Mikael looked worried and yet he tried to calm himself down. He looked at the clock again, fifteen minutes past ten o'clock, he got even more worried by now for about Nick. This had never happened before and he was beginning to get anxious and panicky, just with the thought of something bad had happened to Nick. He went to the side table beside the long couch and where his hand phone was and tried to give a call to Nick. He scrolled his hand phone until he found what he was looking for, Nick hand phone numbers and click the dialed button and waited for the ringing tone, but instead he heard..... "Sorry, the numbers that you have dialed is currently not in service. Please call back later." The mechanical voice had said. He tried for couple more times and yet still the same mechanical message was heard again. Mikael could not believe this was happening to him at all. There were lots of things had played in his mind as he began to talk himself silently. "Is Nick alright? Is something bad had happened to him?" He sighed deeply. "Did Nick really forgotten about today meet up.?" He felt confused and was disoriented. He hopes nothing bad had happed to Nick and he sure need to get an answer sooner. He could not have waited any longer and urgently in need to go and seek to answer. On the way out of his house, he took his house key from the key box hanging beside the door frame and exited the house and walked in the direction of Nick's house. But he had to make sure that he had locked the house door before he could ever proceed. He took a quick step and walked as fast as possible, neared to slow jog instead as he wanted to reach Nick's house as soon as possible. As he was walking on the pavement made for pedestrians, he had seen a taxi that went passed by him on the road heading in the direction towards the city. He took a quick glance of the people inside the taxi. What he could see was the taxi driver and two passengers sitting at the back, a lady and a guy which looked kind of familiar. He stopped in his track and tried to look at the taxi again for better recognition of the back seat two passengers, but by that time the taxi had rolled away too far from him. He focused back on the tasked at hand and kept on walking towards Nick's house. In his mind, he tried to digest the image he saw from inside the taxi. He was not in a rushing paced of walking or jogging anymore, it was more of a slow, rhythmic walking paced as his mind kept trying to work out for an answer. He was so sure that he knew of who they were, but yet his mind was still working its hardest for answers. Another walking for another ten more minutes, he finally had reached on the Nick's driveway. On the front porch, he saw Nick's father's car, which only meant that he was still at home. Maybe he was not working for today. He ascended to the Nick main front door and pressed for the bell. He waited for a few minutes before he could hear walking sound from the other side of the door frame. Clicking sound was heard as the door knob was being turned and standing there facing him in his smart working clothes was Nick's father, Mr. Cornelly. Cornelly was the replica for an older version of Nick. Having the same body structure and manly chiseled face. His hair had turned grey due to his maturity and aged. He was looking pretty sharp in his smart clothes, a dark blue tailored pants and a body hugging pressed white shirt which was topped with a dark blue blazer. He was a lawyer by trade and he had owned a law firm as he was good at what he is doing. Mikael always had an effect in his groin region every time when he was around Nick's father, which reminded him so much of Nick. The attraction was there for the taking but he had to control himself from having a crush on his lover boy's father. Damn, he was as gorgeous as his son was. Nick's father had gracefully accepted Mikael friendship with his only son even though he knew of Mikael sexuality and his interest in Nick. Cornelly gave Mikael a quizzical looked as he said, "With you being here, I presume that you do not know what is going on?" Mikael started to feel worried for Nick's well being. "What had happened, sir? Do I had missed anything important? Has anything bad happen to Nick?" Mikael frown as his anxiety escalated into him. "We were suppose to meet today to hang out together, but he did not arrive to my house on the stipulated time and I began to worried for him, sir." All the while Mikael was looking straight at Cornelly's face. He would not dare to look anywhere else. Cornelly had stared at the Mikael face for a moment longer and sighed deeply. " Thank the Lord, nothing bad had happened to Nick, Mikael. I am not really sure what is actually going on in my house anymore." He sounded dejected for a while. He sure felt unwanted as whatever was happening in the household, he was not directly involved. His only involvement, was to supply the money as where and when his wife, Emily, needed. As for that day, Emily had left him all alone again for an utmost time, to be with her friend at the country club to gossip, show off each other wealth and wasted his money. He simply had no say at all. He gets more lonely when Nick decided to move out on his owned and rent an apartment and will occasionally be coming back home to meet up with him for a chat. He loved Nick so much and it sadden him to see how Nick's life was being manipulated by Emily. He invited Mikael to come into the house to talk, as Mikael stepped into the house, he was guided into the ridiculously spacious living room. Cornelly had asked him to take a seat while he went to the kitchen to get both of them drinks of soda. Mikael made a quick scaned of the living room. In the middle of it all, was a set of beautiful hand crafted sofa by Versace. A chandelier made of Swarovski's crystals hanging majestically from the ceiling overlooking the sofa area. In the middle of the main wall was the most decorative fire place he had ever seen. The intricate design of the structure surrounding the frame of the fire place were so exquisite and looked damn expensive. Cornelly returned to the living room, holding two cans of Dr. Pepper's soda. He handed one can to Mikael and instantaneously took the seat in front oh Mikael, took a sip of his soda, put the bottle on the coffee table and took in a long breath. "You really do not know what is going on?" Cornelly asked Mikael with a frown on his forehead. Mikael shook his head from side to side as he was looking at the soda can in his hand. Mikael took another sip of the soda and nervously looking at Nick's father. He seldom had a face to face talked with Nick's father before and this one time had made him a nervous wreck. "Look here Mikael, I do not know what is the deal between you and Nick," Nick's father, Cornelly, took another deep breath and proceed to talk, "I assumed Nick did not tell you about today. As I had seen and heard this morning, I predicted that he might have not known about it himself." Cornelly paused for a while and looked at Mikael whose had his head down looking at his fidgeting fingers. "He looked lost with the situation this morning and he does sound regretful to the idea of my wife." As Mikael was not making any remark to what he had already said, he continued, "Well, Amy came here this early morning and dragged Nick out from his sleeping slumber to shower and she had told us that Nick and her are going for a short vacation in town as what Nick had promise her. The sad part of it Mikael, she had gang up with my wife for this vacation to happen and my wife herself had sponsored them with a suite room of a hotel." Mikael was on the verged of crying and had tear drops began to form at the corner of his eyes. He could believe that Nick was doing this to him after all the talked and promises they had in his room. Cornelly had all the while been looking at Mikael, noticing the teary eyes on the handsome face of Mikael in front of him. He felt so heartbroken and sorry for Mikael to feel this way. He lifted himself up from his seat and went to sit beside Mikael. Holding Mikael on both of his shoulders and pulled Mikael closer to him for a hug. Mikael who was overwhelmed with the situation cried on Cornelly's shoulder. "Mikael listens. I do not know what is going on between you and my son. What I know is that both of you are the best of friends and for him to do this to you is unforgivable. But please give him a chance to explain everything to you before you decide on anything." Cornelly was almost pleading with Mikael. He knew that Nick had nothing to do with what had happened today and he does hope that Mikael would give Nick a chance to explain himself. Cornelly was whispering softly into Mikael ears while his hands was rubbing Mikael back to soothe and calmed him down. Mikael cries turned to sniffle and he parted himself from Cornelly to say thank you for the comfort and understanding of him and Nick situation. He hugged Cornelly for one last time and left for his home to digest everything that was going on. While Mikael was lying on his bed, he did try to make a last minute attempt to give a call to Nick, yet he was still forwarded to the mechanical voice message. He felt disappointed as put away his hand phone down at his bedside table and fall asleep with tear drops streaming down his face. His mind was not thinking about anything else, but Nick. He whispered, "I love you Nick," and closed his eyes to go to sleep. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have created a mailing list.
