Dark Horses

Chapter 17 - Veeko and Luna

Gulf

Well, I never thought it would go that way. Mew with me. Oh my god. I was having the time of my life while thinking of him and me together for two whole days. Bloody Hell.

I was absent-mindedly smiling at him, thinking about the time we would be spending time together, I was interrupted by a melody, "What ?"

"Umm, Nothing. I'll leave you to work then. It was just for - this. I will see you tomorrow morning, okay ?" I gave a fair nod and Mew looked blankly at me as if I was an absolute Idiot. Well, I was, sometimes.

"Who is driving you home ?" Mew asked me as he got up and walked towards me again.

"Alex drove me here. So, I'm hoping he would. " I blinked at him.

"Right, Okay. I will come. Later by the night. I have few things to complete. " Mew said as if he was apologetic.

I nodded shyly and walked backward still smiling at him, Mew asked me what with the nudge of his head but I just stupidly smiled. Well, I tripped over my own feet and straightened myself at the very second, and sighed.

I walked out of the door as if nothing happened but I did hear a light giggle and I knew it was him.

"Idiot. " I muttered to myself.

Gulf walked to the mansion smiling wide, having Mew in his mind. He stopped at once when he saw Veronica sipping her tea. He looked at her warily and walked forward, He wasn't expecting her nor her sitting in the living room like the house belonged to her. He didn't quite like it, He had started getting fond of the home and the members of it.

Two weeks, and he felt people needed a prior appointment to sit like that in the middle of the living room.

She didn't like him. He didn't like her. It was mutual. It was understood.

Gulf crossed his arms and stood next to her, she ignored him of course, He sighed at this obvious reaction. Next to her, A large german shepherd stood up growling at Gulf.

Veronica chuckled, "Calm down, Veeko. Gulf is a guest. He will be gone soon. " She looked at Gulf with mocking eyes and Gulf growled but not like the dog but within his chest.

"I am going nowhere, Veronica. You and...Veeko is it? here should just start getting used to my annoying ass. " Gulf said with a smile and walked towards Veeko, Gulf wasn't afraid of dogs. He had a few in his home and missing them already.

Veeko barked and growled, warning Gulf but he didn't care much, Gulf went straight ahead and petted under his ears, scratching warmly, Veeko cooed and licked Gulf's palm. Veronica was surprised, Veeko didn't warm up to strangers so quick.

Gulf smiled as he petted Veeko. Luna came ahead and stared at Veeko, She nudged under his fur and rested herself. They were quite comfy for now.

"Anyway, if you're here for Mew, he won't be around until late in the evening. So you can rest in the guest room. " Gulf said.

"That's fine. I just needed to drop off Veeko. I will be out of town for few days and Veeko stays here when I do. Tell Mew to follow the instructions I gave him. He will be fine. " She said as she rose from her seat and picked up her handbag ready to go.

"Would you want to stay for dinner ?" Gulf asked politely, he hadn't allowed her dinner the last time they met and he felt guilty after Mew said she meant so much to him. So maybe, Gulf should put more effort into knowing her as Mew told him.
