Dark Horses

Chapter 10 - Work from home

Mew was standing outside his bedroom door and waiting with a frustrated face. How do I tell him? What do I tell him ? OH god, Just knock on the door, Mew. Okay, Fine. Mew gave a loud knock. There was no answer. 

"Um. Gulf?"

There was no response. Mew sighed softly. Mew knocked once again. 

"Um. Gulf? I know what you must be thinking. I can explain. It is not what it seems." Mew spoke as he stood in the empty hallway. He heard a click of the lock being unlocked. Mew braced for impact as he stood there frozen. Gulf opened the door with a straight face, He crossed his arms on his chest.

"What is it ?" Gulf asked with stern eyes. 

"Ahh~I.." Mew looked at him, he suddenly felt short of words and stood silent staring in Gulf's brown eyes. 

"What? You said you want to explain, so Explain." Gulf raised his eyebrow. 

"Okay." Mew placed his hands in his pockets, stood there casually, looking at his feet.

 "Veronica...Um. She is a handful. Lets say, She is someone who I can never avoid. Maybe because even though she may seem bad, she has always supported me. And I have tried to make her understand about the closeness but she... doesn't seem to agree. She isn't that bad. Once you know her, She is just someone who never got her due love. Really bad men in her life. We know each other since we were kids...She just cares a lot, That's all.."

"That shows, how she stuck herself to you like a bee to a honey comb." Gulf stood there, biting her inner cheek. 

"She is over friendly, She is just protective that's all. I....don't like her that way." Mew stared at Gulf. 

"Why are you saying this to me? Why should I care ?" Gulf raised his eyebrow again. 

"Just...Nevermind." Mew closed his eyes, shaking his head. This was a mistake. Mew took a step back and turned around. 

"Mew." Gulf spoke, he sensed the rejected feeling. He suddenly felt uneasy, the way Mew looked at him. He felt soft for Mew, This was crazy. He suddenly melted for Mew. In a few seconds. God.

Mew stopped at his name and faced him. "Yes?"

"I am sorry." Gulf looked at him, sighing deeply. 

"Why?" Mew asked him with a confused face.

"I really shouldn't have reacted that way. I~ don't know why I did that. Maybe I was really turned off by 'your friend' " Gulf rolled his eyes. Mew gave a thin smile. 

"It is understandable. She is difficult to deal with, but she has always been there for me whenever I needed someone in my life. She has seen me through all phases, Good, Bad and Ugly. But she is not that bad, once you know her. Trust me."

Gulf nodded slightly. Mew gave a thin smile again. 

"I have a favor to ask. " Gulf asked again. 

Mew nodded at him with raised eyebrows. 

"I need to call my parents and my sister. Don't worry, I won't say anything. And, I want my sculpture here. Mild will help, I just want to resume my work. Here. "

Mew gave a deep breath. He turned his back to Gulf and spoke, "Stu will bring it and you can call your parents." 

Mew walked away slowly towards the next room, "Thank you Mew." Gulf spoke with a smile. 

Gulf looked at Mew as he entered the room and closed the door, Gulf gave a chuckle. Weird Guy.

They both walked towards the bed and in their respective rooms, divided by a wall. Mew undressed himself and stood inside the shower room, He stood under the shower. Why did I feel like I had to explain the actions of Veronica? Why did I feel to mend things? Why do I just give away with whatever he asks ? Do I really trust him now ? Don't Mew. Don't do the same mistake. Don't do the same mistake, you did with Lhong. Lhong. Where the fuck are you. Just let me see you, I can't wait to destroy you. Mew sighed with anger.
