Hearts on Hire (Completed)

Voice of Reason

It had been 2 weeks since Mew had walked out of Gulf's life and somehow Gulf had moved on too. He had urge to go to Mew and ask him to forgive him but he controlled himself. He had already bared his soul to him and he won't take anymore insults. His pride could take no more. He had nullified the contract and sent the payment he had promised.

Things had been hectic at work and it worked as perfect distraction for Gulf. He had just finished for day and was driving back to his place when he saw Mew standing in front of his door looking angry and upset. Apprehensive and a little bit excited, Gulf parked his car and walked towards him pulling up his guard.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's not like I wanted to be here. I want to talk about something."

"I thought we were done."

"We will be after this."

"What is it?"

"I don't wanna talk here. Let's go inside."

"I don't want you inside my house."

Mew dragged Gulf towards by his tie making him stumble and fall into his arms.

"Mew-"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that."

Gulf pushed him off, "Don't raise your voice at me, Mew."

He opened his door and Mew followed him inside and took a seat like he owned the place.

"Why are you here?"

"Where is it?"

"What? "

"You know what I'm talking about, Gulf."

"I don't know. Just say what is it."

"The sex tape."

"A what?"

"Sex tape."

"I don't understand."

"Stop acting innocent. You showed it to my brother."

"I did no such thing. I don't have any such thing in the first place."

"Stop lying."

"Mew, why would I have such a thing?"

"To blackmail me."

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you are sick."

"If I wanted to blackmail you, I would have already done that."

"Then how did Kit know about us having sex?"

"I said no such thing to him. I only told him about-"

"I don't want listen to your bullshit. Just give it to me."

"I don't have it. Why don't you understand?"

"I really hate you. I didn't think you could stoop so low. Are you that desperate for me?"

"Stop being like this. You can't just barge in my house and insult me."

"I can and I will."

"Look Mew I know we started out wrong but I have no nefarious intentions for you. I never asked you to be my fake bf to exploit you."

"I won't fall for you anymore."

Gulf went over his words again and again. He said fall for you instead of fall for your words. Was he reading into it too much?

"I don't trust you at all. I don't want to be associated with you anymore so just give me that video and we'll be done."

Gulf shouted exasperatedly, "I don't have any video."

Mew was irritated with this bickering, they didn't seem to reach any conclusion so he decided to use force instead of words. He stalked to where Gulf was standing and grabbed his collar bringing their faces inches apart.

"Don't test my patience, Gulf."

"Let go of me."

Mew raised his arm to punch Gulf but stopped just before his fist could make contact with Gulf's face. Even in his anger he couldn't take his eyes off Gulf. He looked beautiful like he always does and it would be a shame to put a bruise on that perfect face. He didn't know what came over him but he ended up caressing Gulf's face like he was memorizing every curve and plane.

"What are you doing?" Gulf said in voice several octaves lower making it sound like just a whisper.

"I don't know. With you I don't understand anything and that drives me crazy."

"Mew, I j-"

Gulf was cut off in mid sentence as Mew crashed their lips together, there was nothing gentle about the kiss. It wasn't about love, it was like Mew was putting all of his anger and hate into that kiss, biting Gulf's lower lips until they bled, making him open up his mouth just so he could force his tongue inside and completely dominate him.

"Mew, stop."

"Should I? We had things going perfectly but you had to ruin them. Had you not gone to my brother, we would still be enjoying ourselves."

"I just wanted to-"

"I don't care. You went behind my back making things hard for me at home. You should have discussed it with me before you decided to do anything."

"You wouldn't talk to me because of contract thing."

"Why did you lie about the contract?"

"Because you said you would leave. I didn't want you to leave so I lied about manipulating the contract. I didn't do it."

"I know I saw the original ones. You should have just told me that instead of barging in my house."

"I just wanted to clear things with your brother. I didn't want you to lie anymore because of me. I wanted a fresh start."

"Still you should have talked to me first."

"I know but I only told him about the contract nothing more. I didn't say anything about our intimacy."

"Then how did he know? He was really angry because of that. He thought I was selling my body to you for money."

"I didn't say anything like that to him."

"He said he saw some sort of sex video of us."

"But I don't have such thing. I never filmed us. All our intimate encounters had been out of blue so how would I even know what was going to happen."

"Hmmm. Should I trust you? I'm not sure, Gulf."

Suddenly something occurred to Gulf, "I think it could be from that night. When we almost did it in the hotel. I think Lhong had planned it all before he took you to that room."

Mew thought for a moment. It made sense and why would Gulf have an intimate video of his that could jeopardize his career. People hardly knew Mew but Gulf was a known figure and it would harm his reputation terribly if that video ever went viral. What Gulf was saying made sense to him yet he couldn't trust him completely.

"If that's the case and then prove it to me. I'll trust you then."

But he could say anything, Mew left.

First of all he needed to find Lhong and make him pay.
