Just Why Not? [Mew/Gulf]

Chapter 25

Gulf POV

"Mew, I need to say something"

He looked at me expectantly.

"About last night..."

"Yes"

"I ...What do you want me to do ?" That was not how I imagined it to be. I was supposed to be telling him that 'i have decided to date him' instead it just went crazy

"Gulf ..."

His face looks serious, I thought it might as well ask about his true intentions.

"Gulf all I can say is, I wanna continue going out with you"

I felt my face instantly turn hot and, and I knew I was blushing. I wasn't able to see his eyes, instead, I kept looking down.

He grabbed my cup of noodles and placed it on the windowsill. He came closer and now my back was pressed against the window and I wasn't trying anything to push him away. Why am I this way around Mew? Is it because we both are alone and we are being too touchy or will Mew be this way even around people? I doubt it because he might not want anyone else to know that he is interested in me. That will only make people approach him less. That thought brought a sharp pain in my chest. But I decided to ignore it and be honest now.

" Okay, fine ... I just have some conditions before we take this forward "

His eyes suddenly widened and he smiled widely. I can say that he was very happy. " Does that mean... You're okay with going out with me? Like ... A couple"

" Yes... But only if you agree to my conditions"

" Agreed," he said immediately,

I stared at him, he realized how impulsive he sounded and he chuckled to cover up his embarrassment.

" Okay... Go on, I'll listen to them" he said

" #1. If you're mine, you're only mine and you cannot flirt around because I'm possessive... And I will abide by the same too. " I started.

His eyes widened again, and with the domineering vibe I was giving out, he looked at me like he was liking what he was hearing.

" Okay," he said with a wide smile. Hence I moved on

"#2. You cannot lie or cheat. I need you to be honest about where you are going, what you are doing, and who you are with"

He swallowed and I knew it was out of fear. " Okay," he replied again.

#3. You cannot tell me what to do and what not to do until I ask for your opinion"

His smile faded a little, but he still said " okay"

#4. You can leave anytime you lose interest but we need to talk and end it smoothly"

I could now tell that he did not like what he was hearing, if he can leave, I can leave as well, and I know for a fact that he is pissed by that statement because according to him, I might leave anytime. Little does he know that I will do anything to make this work. His face changed, but he still said " okay"

"And finally #5. no second chances once you leave don't think about to come back"

His expression softened, and I saw at least 10 types of reactions within the last two minutes. He was taking heavy breaths as though coming to terms with my condition, he somehow knows that this is the best for both of us. In a very low voice, he finally said " okay" again. Then he continued "I have one rule ... That is you have already agreed to this settlement, you cannot back out, I'm afraid you will change your mind..."

" Done.." I agree, but then, a sudden realization, I'm not gonna be single anymore, I'm gonna be with someone else, I am not ready yet, I just need some time to set things right, so I said "oh, and one last thing, you do not contact me in this one week"

" No... That I cannot do" he said without a second thought.

I was surprised by that so I said "Then we call this whole thing off"

"Uh uh... You have already agreed to the no back out rule, so no backsies"

"Shit... I should have really come up with this before agreeing" I mumbled.

"And one last thing," he said and came closer, his eyes were sad, I knew that, but it almost felt like if this is what he gets he will take it.

"And what is that?" I questioned.

"Well, it's more like a request" he stepped closer, he had me pinned to the glass of the window right now.

"Hmm hmm," I said awkwardly, not knowing how to reply.

"I wanna kiss you right now" he just stated that he did not even ask.

"Can we not, because I don't think we have started yet" me and my dumb brain still thinking that everything will start only after we go down. Still not knowing that I had agreed to this whole thing the minute I saw him the other day and agreed to come on this trip.

"But I want to..." He said in a husky voice, which made my brain all messy and my stomach all fluttery. The next thing he said broke my heart. "You don't have to kiss me back, I just want to feel your warm lips inside my mouth again"

My heart broke with that statement, I really don't appreciate him blackmailing me emotionally, but this was something else, it did not make me feel annoyed, rather it made me feel all queasy from the inside.

I was silent. He took that as a yes and slowly kissed my lips. Yes he did tell me that I don't have to kiss him back, but I just wanted to, so I started moving my lips against his, I could feel him smile and pull me even closer by my waist and we deepen the kiss.
