The Village Prince. [On Hold]

"I..I.." Gulf's mind totally discontinued the world when he heard new confess.

He was not expecting that. Like not at all. Who is gonna just wake up and guess their boss is going to confess them that day.

He couldn't say anything. He can see mew waiting for him to speak.

He was expecting words like 'It's okay, Take your time. There is no rush' But no..mew didn't say anything like that. He kept starting at gulf as he needed his answer right then and there.

That kind of made gulf anxious.

Then he saw mew sigh leaning back into his seat from the corner of his eye.

"So...Are you saying anything? Your silence is kind of making me anxious" mew let of a forced chuckle. His face clearly says he is getting anxious.

" No. You are making me anxious with that look!" Gulf blurted out then quickly covered his face with his palms. Like that's gonna stop him from getting embarrassed.

"Shia.." Gulf mumbled under his breathe.

Then he felt mew touching his hand, prying his palms away from his face. Gulf lowered his palms, glancing at his boss anxiously.

"What are you anxious for?.." Mew asked in a soft tone, leaning forward trying to get closer to gulf.  He held gulf hands in his as they are some precious jewels.

I...I don't know. Maybe the fact that you are my boss." Gulf replied getting used to their proximity.

"Don't be. Just take me as a man who is crazy about you and just confessed his feelings rapidly developing feelings"  Mew spoke very softly, that gulf almost melted.

Gulf gulped.

"But you are my boss.." Gulf stretched the words pouting unconsciously.

Mew's heart raced at that look. Them being that close is not helping at all. He could not stop himself from stealing a quick kiss.

"Then think of me as a man who likes you and who is also your boss" mew replied with a cheeky smile.

Gulf slapped mew's arm lightly, in a teasing way as he smiled shyly.

"Tell me.."  Mew asked pulling himself closer again.

"Huh?" Gulf replied confusingly.

"I just confessed my feelings to you. Are you not gonna say anything? And just leave me hanging like this?"  Mew asked giving him a cute innocent look.

"I liked kissing you," Gulf confessed.

"Oh.Not what I was expecting to hear" mew replied. Then chuckled.

"But that would do I guess. Do you wanna go on a date with me? " Mew asked without missing a beat. He is not someone to beat around the bush when it comes to feelings. If he likes someone, he does it for real.

Gulf was genuinely surprised. He should be getting used to his boss's straightforwardness by now, but he just can't.

"We could...but I have work to attend from Monday. Tomorrow is the only holiday I will be getting to rest until next month "  Gulf replied honestly.

Also, he needs a day to process all that happened today. He can't sacrifice his Sunday

"Awh. Can't you take a leave?" Mew asked.

"I guess not. My boss is kind of tightwad. I don't think he will grant me a leave for me to attend a date" Gulf joked.

"Oh. What a cheapskate boss. Why don't you quit his stupid job and come to me " Mew went on with the joke gulf is playing.
