Fated to be yours

Chapter 15

As they are leaving Andy's fashion house, Gulf's stomach rumbles loudly. His hands immediately fly to cross over his stomach before he peers ahead to look at Mew who is walking ahead of him. Seems like he didn't hear, so dropping his hand to his side he sighs in relief.

Reaching their car when Tamp opens the car door, Mew turns to Gulf and gestures to him to get inside.

"Oh, but Mr. Suppasit, I brought my car-"

The man interrupts, "Leave that here for now. You are coming with me."

Huh? "Um...okay" confused but not arguing, he climbs into Mew's car and after a quick talk with Tamp, Mew follows too.

But as they hit the road, Gulf notices that they are going the opposite way from the house, so he turns to Mew, "Do we still have someplace to be?"

Not taking his eyes off from his iPad where he is doing something, Mew just nods to answer his question. Silence settles between them after that, except for Gulf's stomach growling once or twice making him squirm in his seat in embarrassment.

It's only five minutes later when the car stops in front of a restaurant, making him confused.

Mew turns to him when he doesn't move to get out of the car, "Aren't you getting out?" he says before climbing out of the car.

Gulf follows him and almost bumps into him when the man turns abruptly to face him. "Forgive me, I should have asked first. Do you like Italian?" Mew asks.

"I do" he simply answers. Honestly, he isn't picky about his food. He eats whatever he is served.

"It's not some fancy restaurant but they serve great food. You will like it here" Mew smiles before turning to walk inside.

Following the man, Gulf looks at his surroundings "What is he even talking about? Not some fancy restaurant?" Every corner of the place is screaming 'fancy'. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting with soft lighting and faint music playing in the background. The walls are painted in light yellow, appearing golden in the soft glow of the chandelier above and the place is beautifully and lavishly decorated with various paintings and artworks. Combined with fresh flowers and candlelight it almost gives off a romantic feel.

And it seems like Mew is frequent here because even when the restaurant is packed they don't have to wait and are immediately taken to a private dining room on the second floor. The room is equally beautiful with the same decor as the first floor and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city lights. He smiles at Mew, "You were right, I like it here."

"I am glad. I always come here whenever I visit Andy and other times too when I feel like eating Italian," Mew smiles before skimming the menu. "So what would you like to order?" he asks.

Gulf picks up his menu and tries to recall how much money he has in his wallet when it suddenly strikes him that he has left his things in his car, thus his wallet and even his phone. And his car is still at Andy's! Closing his eyes in dismay, he ducks his head behind his menu.

How embarrassing! he pouts. Now he only has some change he keeps in his pocket as emergency money. Should he check how much he has? But it would be weird to count it here in front of Mew. Hmm, maybe he should excuse himself to the restroom. But for now, he goes through the menu to look for the cheapest dish he can find.

Aow! they all are so expensive! Do they sprinkle gold dust on their food or what?

"Gulf?"

Keeping the menu down he is met with Mew's confused face. "Are you okay?" the man asks.

Not wanting to give away his predicament, he smiles widely, "Of course why wouldn't I? I am absolutely perfect, hehe. I was just thinking about what I should eat."
