DARK OCEAN - (Eng.Vers) FREENBECKY

chapter 5

Garmond Apartments, Ormond Quay, North City, Dublin.

"Jacob! Jacob! Where are you!?" Freen didn't call William by name, this rush and excessive excitement made her forget many things. Of course, she probably forgot that William IV had died. She couldn't wait to ask Jacob to be an impromptu detective.

The man who was called this was cooking wearing a black apron and was a little surprised to hear Freen shout his real name. Immediately Jacob answered, "I'm here in the kitchen!" Shout too.

Freen, who heard Jacob's voice, immediately ran towards the kitchen. With a five-finger mark on her left cheek and lips that still showed wounds, she said with a cheerful face. "I met her! I met her! She's in-" Freen stopped talking when she saw a lot of meat dishes on the table, not just rib soup, all dishes of different colors were available on the dining table. Kalops which is full of flavour, lean culottesteg , skomakarlada with delicious sauce and mashed potatoes on top, tender steak which is cooked wholeheartedly and there is also meat stew which smells very delicious, as well as many more unique foods that Jacob serves.

A little curious, Freen asked, "You have guests? You want to throw a party or something, Jacob?"

The man, who was happy to be called by his real name, finally said, "No. There are no guests. But it's all special food for you, Miss Sam!" Without a doubt, the sound is very crisp, as if there is no burden.

Freen's eyebrows furrowed, she wouldn't be able to eat it all. Freen glanced at all the food, "This is too much. I can't possibly eat this much. When did you cook all this? Is this why you didn't answer my call this morning?"

With one index finger waving while shaking his head with a proud smile, Jacob, who was stirring his cooking, answered, "I've been cooking since last night, Miss Sam. I dedicate my time to filling your stomach and making you fatter. I'm sure, later the fish will like you."

'Huh? How could I possibly get fat in one day. And again? The fish like me? What does this mean?'

"Fish? Jacob, what are you talking about?" Confused to death, she didn't know where Jacob was thinking. But still, when Freen glanced at the large amount of food, she even approached the steak covered in red sauce and then tasted it with her fingers. 'Nice.' Freen muttered softly.

Jacob explained his intentions with a cheerful smile while stirring the pieces of meat boiled in spiced coconut milk, "You don't understand my good intentions, Miss Sam? Fine. I'll explain." Jacob took a little of the thick sauce into his palm to check whether the salt was right or not enough. After tasting it, Jacob nodded, it seemed like the food was perfect. He said, stirring again, "When you jump in, with a stomach full of food, the fish will like you. They will... yeah, make you go faster."

"You think I'm going to jump in to be eaten by fish?" Freen looked at Jacob's back with a surprised expression. It's sadistic if I imagine it, I didn't think about it all that way. I just thought, I'll die and be done with it, she whispered to herself. If eaten by fish? Wow, fortunately Patricia appeared this time.

Then Jacob turned around laughing, he said, "I think a lot about you Miss Sam. Eat and enjoy-" Silenced, eyes wide, "Miss Sam? What happened!?" He even froze for a moment when he saw his master's face change slightly, red?

Freen almost forgot about her face. By slightly touching the still sore cheek, Freen smiled. "I met her! You have to look for her!" Freen seemed to treat the red on one of her cheeks as a feeling of love from her lover. Or maybe, your face is flushed because you have met again after not seeing each other for a long time? Yes, that's a ridiculous reason.

"Huh?" Jacob didn't think about the woman. "What did you encounter to get hurt like that? Who could make you ugly like that, Miss Sam?" Jacob turned off the electric stove, he immediately looked at Freen's face more closely with his eyes almost popping out. Jacob had never seen a trace of Freen's blood in all this time, now he could see the small wound on Freen's lip, it felt amazing. He was flabbergasted and said, "Wow, Miss Sam has red blood too?" He thought Freen's blood was blue or purple, like the long-lived alien humans in the movies. Jacob's childhood thoughts seem to remain intact today.
