Fated to be yours

Chapter 6

In the afternoon, when Gulf comes out of his classes he is once again surprised to see Mew's bodyguard already waiting for him at his University gate.

Gulf wai-s him in greeting, "Hello, P..." he pauses before asking, "Umm...what should I call you?"

"Hello, Sir. I am here to drive you home and you can call me Tamp" the man replies with a polite smile.

"Please call me Gulf, P'Tamp and I wasn't aware you would be here. Were you waiting for long?"

Tamp opens the car door for him and replies, "No, Sir Gulf, I just got here."

Gulf sighs as he climbs into the car, no matter how many times he has told everyone to call him just by his name, no one listens to him and keeps calling him 'Sir Gulf'. 'It's so weird' he pouts in distress.

But he doesn't get to dwell on it long as his gaze falls on the empty seat beside him. 'The morning was weirder though' he can't help but think.

Surprise would be an understatement to describe how he felt at Mew's behaviour. He still remembers the way his name had sounded in his voice. He was startled almost dropping his phone when the man had called him though he can't really tell if it was by his sudden call or because it was the first time Mew had said his name.

Moreover, his odd behaviour! Wasn't he the one to ask him to make himself invisible? Then why did he give him a lift and chided him for not using a car? How was he supposed to know he could use one? The man should make him an instruction manual, so he would know what he is allowed to use and what not! he huffs, crossing his hands across his chest.

And it looked like the man didn't believe him when he said he finds public transport comfortable. He wasn't lying, he always uses public transport. He hadn't even let his father buy him a car even when his father had pleaded with him. He had no need for it, honestly. His condo was conveniently within walking distance from his University and he always used the bus to go back and forth from his part-time job at the restaurant. It was convenient both for his wallet and the environment.

After coming to Mew's house he has taken cabs the few times he had needed to go somewhere, but for University he had decided he would again start to take buses to go and forth even though the bus stop is quite far from Mew's house. He can't spend all his money on cabs! Since he has quit his job he has to be careful about his spending. He is still a year away from graduating and before he can get a job.

The thought of expenses takes his mind back to Mew again, particularly at the evening when he was giving him a credit card for his expenses. Again, the man had managed to take him by surprise. Why would he even give him his credit card when he hates him so much?

But it doesn't matter, he would never use Mew's money. He has stopped taking money even from his own father a long time ago! He has been a scholarship student both in his bachelors and masters so his college expenses had never been a problem for him. And he used to work at the restaurant to take care of his personal expenses, even though his father deposited a monthly allowance into his account. He likes to take care of his things on his own and it's going to stay like that. So using Mew's card hasn't even crossed his mind. The card is still sitting untouched in one of the drawers beside the bed.

He sighs, that man is a puzzle! More than once he has shown him how much he loathes his presence but he wants him to stay in his room! He doesn't share his closet with him but today he shared his car! He doesn't want him to touch his things but he gave him his card!

He knows, Mew isn't doing all this out of care or concern though. Why would he? It's not like this is a normal marriage. The man simply loaths his existence!He hadn't even cared to tell him when he went to the States. Unaware, he had been waiting, worried for him all night when he hadn't come home. If it wasn't for Mae telling him about it the next day he wouldn't have even known.
