My Secret Married

🌻 Chapter 14 🌻

Gulf woke up to a missed call from  Mew. It was odd because instead of his usual ring tone, the tonewas replaced with a recording of Mew's early morning knock. He panicked a little bit and opened the door, but when he opened it, he didn't find Mew outside. He remembered then what had transpired last night., And he felt a little disappointed that he was no longer there. He was tempted to go back to sleep but knew that he had to get moving. He looked at his phone and found that Mew texted him after making the call.

"Wake up,sleepyhead. I had to go to an early morning shoot. I'm sorry about last night."

He went through his early morning routine giddily. He knew he was supposed to be angry at Mew still for the way Mew acted last night, but who could stay angry at that face?

As he walked to school, he got another text from Mew: 'Take care.'

He was smiling like a fool whe he arrived in school and had his head in the clouds, so he didn't notice Kao walking toward him.

"Hey! Someone woke up on the right side of the bed."

"Hey, you!" He said, tapping Kao on the shoulder.

He wss still giddy from Mew's text and had forgotten about last night when he saw a bruise around the patch that Kao wore for the gash. Then he remembered Mew punching him.

"Oh my god, are you okay now? I'm so sorry about last night." Gulf said as they walked toward the building Gulf were watching, sk Gulf kept a safe distance.

"I'm okay, of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because of this?" Gulf reached out and touched the bruise. Kao recoiled but still managed to smile. Gulf reminder herself to talk to Mew about the way he acted toward Kao.

"This? It's nothing!"

"You fell tl the ground, Kao."

"I was caught off guard."

"I'm really sorry."

Kao smiled shyly at him, and he remebered what Kao saod last night. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable with him, so he said, " I have to go to class." He hurriedly walked off, not turning back.

"I'll text you!" Kao siad.

Gulf fought the urge to look back at him. He couldn't believe what was happening right now.

🌻

Gulf was in class whe his phone vibrated. He sneaked it out to his bag and read it from under his desk.

Mew: I'll drive there after the shoot.

Gulf grinned to himself and hid his phone in his pocket. Mild saw his face and nudged him. "What are you so happy about?"

He shook his head but kept on smiling anyway. His phone vibrated again. He took it out and was disappointed that it wasn't Mew. It was from Kao.

Kao: Let's go out this weekend.

His phone vibrated again. This time, it was his father-in-law:The event designer are coming this weekend.

Then another text, from Mew: Why are you not answering my messages?

I'm sorry, I'm in class.

After the series of mesaages, he waited for Mew to reply, but he didn't. So he stowed his phone back into his bag and tried to concetrate during class.

"Mew!"

The morning shoot was done for the day, so as soon as the director said cut, Mew walked off to his own car. The shoot had gone on long enough, with Yaya acting like prima donna.

"Mew, wait up!"

The crew were watching the two interact So Mew to act all friendly.

"I'm going back to school."

"Can I get a ride?"

"Where's your car?"

"Aw, come on, save the environment! Car pool!"

Yaya laughed heartily at her bad joke. She was trying to look like the happy-go -lucky sassy girl, but it didn't fit her.

"Fine. Hurry up! I need to get there by lunch."

"I'm all set."

They went to his car and drove off. Mew kept looking at his phone, waiting fro Gulf to reply.

🌻

It was during lunch break whe he finally read Mew's message: Let's have lunch together.

Gulf told Mild all about this, even showing his message.

"It's getting real! See, Mew can be a sweetie, right?"

"Yeah, well. He's still confusing most of the time, parking lot."

They walked toward the entrance, talking about Gulf's upcoming party and giggling.

🌞

Mew finally arrived in school, mnaging to ignore Yaya and her innuendos as they drove. He was taking off his seatbelt whe Yaya took the key to the car.

"What are you doing? Give me that."

Yaya put the key intl her pocket and said,

"Open the door fro me, and I'll give you back the key."

"What the hell, Yaya? What are you trying to do?"

"Just do it."

He let out an angry sigh. He saw his phone vibrated and read the message from Gulf. Okay, I'll wait for you.

He looked up at Yaya and sighed.

"Fine. Don't make a big deal out of it."

🌻

Gulf couldn't believe waht was he seeing. He wss giddy at the sight of Mew walking out his car, but then he saw walking toward the other side of the car and opening tge door. Out came Yaya, and for a beat, they held hands.

He had enough. Mew had no right to do this to him. He ran off to the comfort room, with Mild right behind him. He would not go out until the end of lunch break. He felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket, but he ignaored it. He wanted 'no' part of this. Why was Mew doing this to him? He had no right punching Kao if he was going around with Yaya.

🌞

"Gulf!" Mew heard Mild's voice from the parking lot. He watched as Mild ran after Gulf.

He turned to Yaya and said angrily,

"Stay out of my life, you bitch."

"Don't make a scene here, " she hissed. "People were watching."

Mew put his head down, shaking it, as he thought about what he should do. He walked away from Yaya and started calling Gulf, but he wouldn't answer.
