Dark Horses

Chapter 44 - The Forgotten Locket.

Ver and Mew sat in a fine dining posh restaurant eating their dinner when Ver screamed her lungs out, "What the Fuck!"

"Ver...." Mew closed his eyes. 

"No! What the Fuck!! What the fuck, Mew!! Oh, my god. "

"Ver, calm down-"

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down!! You didn't even tell me anything!! I am your fucking best friend Mew! I know you for 29 years of my life! You're such a fucking asshole." Ver looked at him with anger. 

"At least you and Gulf agree on something.." Mew looked down with a face and ate his food quietly. 

Ver sighed and felt a pinch in her heart, she loved Mew. For a very long time. She knew he wasn't like other guys...straight, way before he even knew. She knew Mew more than he knew himself, but she still loved him...

The other men coming into her life, just hurt her someday or other. She knew she was in love with him but can't have him. But she wasn't going to let that come in between their friendship. 

Mew had left his home, his family to be who he is. And she was with him at every single step, she never left him, what are best friends for?

 "That's not what I meant. You didn't tell me, Mew. You know, I would have taken that motherfucker and skinned him. No one fucks with my best friend. I do one call, and he is finished, You knew that, right?" Ver touched his hand and caressed it gently. 

"I know, Ver. I know I should have told you... But there was so much going around, I didn't want to risk the only family, I have...That includes you as well..." 

Veronica gave a sad smile, "You know, I love you."

"I do.." Mew held her hand tight. 

"Mew..." Veronica intertwined her fingers with him. 

"Hmm?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What?"

"What the hell are you doing, Mew? You love him. You need to go to him and tell him that. Tell him why you did, what you did. As much as I am jealous of him, He loves you. I have seen it in his eyes. "

Mew chuckled but soon died out, "Ver...He has a boyfriend, He is getting married. He has moved on, He is happy."

"Have you been always this stupid? or are you doing this to annoy me?"

Mew looked at her confused.

"I have never seen anyone as in love as Gulf was with you. The way he used to look at you, my fucking heartbreaks. There is passion, longing for love. If he is happy and it doesn't matter to him anymore, then I would tell you - Bullshit. "

"Really?"

"Fucking Yea! You need to go! You need to tell him, you love him, get him back in your life! Just go!!" Ver pushed him and Mew was startled. 

"Now?"

"No, Fucking 10 years later. Yes, asshole, Now!" Ver stood up and pulled Mew out of his seat and pushed him out of the door, "Tell me, how it went! Go!"

Mew smiled and hugged her tight, picking her from her feet, "I love you.." He whispered in her ears. 

"I love you, always." Veronica smiled and looked at Mew as he pulled away from her with a wide smile and quickly ran out to his car. 

Mew ran to the car and Stu was standing, talking on the phone with a smile, maybe it was Kia he was speaking to, "Stu, give me the keys!"

"No Sir, I'll-"
