Chapter 25

Nicky turned around still amazed at what he had asked from her and wondered what the h@ll se was supposed to get him. What did a woman cook for her man the morning after a hot night together? But instead of food, her mind was full of images of what that hot night would include. Suddenly the room seemed pretty hot. Did someone close the air condition in there? She fanned herself with the catalogue as she reached the counter where she would give Mike’s order to be cooked. An order she still hadn’t thought of.

She was forced to focus back to her work, when she reached the food counter and since she hadn’t said a thing, June spoke to her.

“Earth to Nicky, earth to Nicky. Where is your mind today girl? Could it be in our handsome customer on the table beside the window?” She said.

“Whaaa what?” Nicky mumbled.

“Well I can understand why you’ve totally lost your concentration today. He does look extra yammy with the wet look on his hair today. It makes you think that he just got out of the shower after a night of debauchery.” June teased her and Nicky groaned.

“Not you too. Do all the girls here drool at the sight of him?” Nicky asked desperately afraid of the obvious competition. All the girls working here were beautiful and more sophisticated and experienced than her. If they made a pass on him, she would definitely be a long gone memory for him. Or maybe not even a memory at all. She would be completely deleted of his mind. She was green with jealousy at that prospect.

June was studying her face and could see the impact her statement had on her. She had thought of something sad that had caused her to pale at first and get red with furry the next moment. That was unusual for Nicky who was always sweet, with a smile on her lips. Maybe there was more to her relationship with Mike than a client and a customer and her teasing was affecting poor Nicky. Instantly she felt bad for teasing her and made a mental note to talk to the other girls and tell them to lay law on their teasing too. Nicky was a good kid that apparently hadn’t had it easy till now. It would be wrong of them to add more problems to her pile.

“Hey I was just teasing you. Are you feeling alright? Do you need to take a break?” June asked anxiously.

“Yes, yes I am fine, just a little tired that’s all.” Nicky lied.

“I didn’t mean anything just now about Mike. All the girls here treat him like a friend because he is such a great guy, always kind to us and gives awesome tips. But none of us would ever attempt to pursue anything more with him. We are just teasing you because he seems to treat you a little bit different.”

“What do you mean by that?” Nicky asked baffled by June’s comment.
