Dark Horses

Chapter 45 - The wedding

Gulf was quiet all morning, Adrian on the other hand was pacing everywhere to get dressed and talking to many people at once.

There was so much commotion and noise in the room with so many people around, His parents, Adrian's parents, family, friends and Best men.

And Gulf's was drowning in nervousness and anxiety. He didn't know why but suddenly he felt like running away. Far... Where he would think calmly and take a deep breath.

He sat on the edge of the bed, closing his eyes, trying to think, Why was he getting married in the first place, Gulf you love Adrian, You're going to marry him today. And you had said yes, Get yourself together, Man. I love Adrian, I love...Adri-, God, I love Mew.

Gulf breathed hard and opened his eyes, and felt Adrian kneel in front of him, "What's wrong?"

"I need space....." Gulf exhaled deeply, breathing heavily.

"I need to- I need to be alone - I need some Air... " Gulf closed his eyes, in anxiety.

"I am feeling suffocated.." Gulf spoke with deep breaths.

"Okay, Okay, Okay... Calm down, Gulf. Calm down. Let's take you to the next room." Adrian spoke worriedly and helped Gulf up, It was too much for him, Adrian quietly walked across to the room without bringing more attention to them and took him to the next room.

Adrian had rented the hotel for their wedding, Just them and no one else, Adrian could be very private like that. He guided Gulf to sit on the bed and cupped his hands, "Okay?"

Gulf took a deep breath and nodded. The silence felt good, he could think now, "Thanks.."

Mild walked in later with bags in his hands and stepped away, giving them some space.

"You want anything. Anything. You tell me. Okay?" He pierced his eyes with Gulf's

Suddenly a flood of guilty flowed in Gulf's heart, He needed to tell him what he was feeling, This was too fast, This was too much, He needed to tell him, But it's too late now, is it? God, Just tell him.

"Adrian. I need to -"

"What?"

Gulf licked his lips and his eyes were filled with tears. Adrian cupped his cheek, "What?"

He breathed slowly, his heartbeats were ringing in his ears, "Are you happy ?"

"Yea, Very. " He smiled, "You okay?"

"Yea...." Gulf smiled too.

"Okay... Then I will see you at the altar. " Adrian smiled and kissed him softly.

He walked away slowly and smiled at Mild. Gulf kept his eyes closed, still regretting. Mild kept the bags on the bed, "This is your stuff, You want my help?" Gulf shook his head.

"Okay... Call me when you're done... " Mild turned to walk away.

"Mild?"

"Yea?"

"Am I doing the right thing ?" He turned and looked at him, teary.

"Yes. You're living your life. That's the right thing to do. "

Mild smiled and closed the door behind him. I should have told him about the phone call. Adrian is a much better person than Mew. Definitely. But, I should have told him. He trusts me. He walked to the next room, confused about this.

Mew walked out of the car in a black tux, He had no intention to come to this wedding, It was probably his death wish but he had to give something back to Gulf. He needed to before he left the country.
