Fated to be yours

Chapter 35

"Yes, Can you believe it? He said he wanted to protect me! My baby is so cute!" Mew gushes. He wants to roll around on the floor in happiness. He is just so, so happy. But he frowns when he is met with silence once again and looks at his companion, "Aren't you going say something? I just told you about my date and you are ignoring me? Aren't you happy for me?"

Chopper shoots him an uninterested look for the last time, before walking away. And he might have even sighed too.

"Hey! Is that a way to treat your Dad?" indignant, he calls out after his insolent pet. Okay, he admits he might have told him the same story for the tenth time in the last two days but that was no way to behave like that to his own Dad! "I have spoiled him too much!" he huffs.

Since no one is interested in knowing about his date and now he is alone in his room he thinks about going back to his work but just then his phone buzzes indicating a message. He immediately picks it up. It was from Gulf, which he was expecting. His boy has gone to Kaownah's singing gig. It's already half-past ten and he had thought Gulf would have been back when he had returned from work but the absence of the boy's car in the garage told him otherwise. He isn't too worried about him though, since Korn, his bodyguard, is with him.

🌻:
Are you home yet?

You:
Yes. Why? What happened?

🌻:
I should have listened to you when you warned me earlier. Now P'Mild and P'Kaownah are totally drunk and they aren't even waking up. It won't be safe to send them home by cab, will it? Can you send P'Tamp to take them home?

Mew shakes his head as he types back his reply. He had warned Gulf about his friends' drinking habits but the boy hadn't believed him. Now, It's just half-past ten and those two dimwits are already wasted.

You:
The car will be there in fifteen minutes.

🌻:
*a thank you sticker*
I will be waiting.

Mew grins at the message. He has recently found out that his boy is really fond of texting through stickers. Too cute!

Dropping a quick text to Tamp to get the car ready, he rushes to his closet to change his clothes. He is going to pick his baby himself.

Entering into the bar, he walks straight to the booth at the corner at the far end, knowing it's the gang's favourite corner. And he has frequented this place too much to know it like the back of his hand. He grimaces recalling how he had been a daily visitor here in the earlier months of his marriage, getting completely wasted like no tomorrow.

Walking in the booth he frowns when he doesn't see Gulf, only the two idiots who are too wasted to even realize his presence. Koawnah is sleeping, curled on the middle seat, facing the backrest and Mild is on the floor, sitting cross-legged clutching Korn's leg. The bodyguard visibly sighs in relief when he spots him and Tamp.

"Where is Gulf?" he enquires.

"Sir Gulf has gone to the washroom" Korn replies, trying to free his leg from Mild only to stop and sigh when the drunk idiot smacks his leg. Mew has never seen the bodyguard so uncomfortable and helpless before, the sight is almost comical.

His friend then turns to him and scowls, "Why the hell are you here? I want to see Aa, not you. This man here said he was calling him." He turns back to quint at Korn, "You liar! Call him, otherwise I am not letting you go" he pinches the man's leg.
