Dark Horses

Part 38 - Leave Me.

Mew was on the floor in pain, crying. He stood up and looked at the open door. He heard the meowing of Luna. He straightened up and ran towards his bedroom.

"Stop." Mew cried out as Gulf changed into his old clothes. Gulf stopped and looked at him with tears with a bare chest. The marks on his chest were not even faded, Mew swallowed hard. He put on his own shirt and put on his shoes.

"Why? Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't leave." He looked at him with swelling eyes.

"That's what I thought so," Gulf said with a hoarse voice, while he picked Luna.

"No Wait.." Mew cried softly.

"Mew, You do this and everyone dies. I'll start with him" Lhong spoke in his earpiece. Mew swallowed hard, Gulf looked at him sadly. He walked out of the door and looked at the third door in the pathway. Mew looked in the direction.

"Just tell me one thing. Who was Lhong?" Gulf looked down with tears. He stood there hurt and dejected.

Mew licked his lips and stood there in silence.

"He used to work for me. " Mew said quietly.

"Then why is that door locked? Stu told me he lived there. Why would someone who works for you stay here ?" Gulf turned to him. His eyes red and his lips trembling.

"Because I am his love. Not you." The door opened and Lhong walked out with a gun in his hand and a sinister smile on his face.

Gulf widened his eyes and looked at him then at Mew. His world had come crashing down. He tried to kill Sam and Me.

"You lied to me..." Gulf couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at Mew in disbelief, "But why..."

"Oh darling, My Mew. You didn't tell him?" Lhong pouted and laid back on the door frame.

"I am his boyfriend, soon to be fiance. The only one he ever had and will always have." Lhong raised his gun to Gulf's head. Gulf flinched and stepped back with fear.

"No. No. Wait. Wait." Mew quickly walked towards Lhong and whispered while he put his gun down, "We had a deal. I make him leave and this ends. "

"yes, we did, but you let him see me, Mew. I can't let an eyewitness leave, My love. " Lhong said with a smile and looked at Gulf.

Mew grabbed his shoulders and pulled him towards himself, "Please... Please..." He whispered.

Lhong looked at his eyes and smiled, "Okay...I won't kill him." He whispered. Mew, sighed.

"But on one condition..." He whispered as he snaked his arms around Mew's neck with a smirk, "Kiss me." He whispered.

"Now."

Mew looked at him with pain in his heart, "You kiss me like you love me and I will let him walk alive. " He whispered against his lips while he smiled.

Gulf stood there confused, unable to hear anything at all.

His eyes widened and his heart shattered to pieces, he stopped breathing at what he saw before him.

Mew cupped Lhong's cheek and pulled him closer until their lips met and started kissing deeply.

Gulf gave a sharp breath, His tears rolled down his cheeks. They pulled away and Lhong smiled wide and looked at Gulf, "You see now...It's better you leave unless you want a bullet in your head."

Mew stood beside him while his hand around Lhong's waist, Gulf looked at him heartbroken. He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe Mew would play such a dirty game.
