Blind Trust (MewGulf)

Chapter 8: What is this about? Second wall down: Status

POV Mew

Mew stood there, frozen, looking at the face he thought he wouldn't see in a few days.

- Ahh...

While he was trying to find the words, Jane spoke out.

- Are you gonna stay there looking dumb? Invite him in!

Mew snapped out of his state and said:

- Yes. I'm sorry Nong. Please come in.

Gulf seemed hesitant, looking at where Jane was standing up, but in the end, he came inside the condo. They just stood there, looking awkward, without looking at each other. Jane looked from one to another.

- I'm Jane, by the way - she said looking at Gulf - Nice meeting you kha.

That seemed to bring Gulf back to earth.

- Nice meeting you too Phi. I'm Gulf Kanawut.

- Yes, I imagined - she looked at Gulf for a moment, making the young man fidget - Ok... I'm just gonna go so you guys can talk. Nice finally meeting you dear - she said as she waied to Gulf.

- Yes, thank you Phi - Gulf said as he waied as well.

While Jane was opening the door to leave, she turned around, and at Gulf's back, she gestured to Mew.

<Talk to him or else>

Mew gulped and nodded to his best friend. Finally alone at the condo entrance, Mew moved to the inside.

- Come this way, let's talk in the living room.

Mew couldn't see him, but he could feel Gulf moving at his back following him.

How did he even get there?

When they got to the living room, Mew motioned to Gulf, urging him to sit down on the sofa. Mew sat a little apart from his co-star and waited for Gulf to say something. After all, he was the one that practically invaded his house. He must've wanted to say something to him. Right?

Gulf looked at the carpet and then to the wall, never looking at Mew's face. Mew was starting to feel a little nervous.

- Gulf - he finally said.

The young boy looked at him with questioning eyes.

- How did you find my condo?

Gulf answered a little hesitant, like afraid of Mew's reaction.

- I asked P'Mild your address. He told me to come and talk to you. Then, I just got a cab.

Mild Suttinut... just wait until I get to you!

- Talk about what? - Mew asked, even though he already knew what that was about.

Gulf seemed to find the strength to look at him in the eye. His stare was determined.

- Why are you being so distant lately? I thought we were past that already - Gulf was genuinely confused.

Mew knew that doing what he was doing, he was being unprofessional and immature. But feelings were like that. We can't control them and they just show up in the most unexpected ways.

- I'm not distant Gulf, what do you mean? - Mew still played unaware.

- You closed up so suddenly. We were doing just fine - said Gulf with distress - Is this about what we talked about the last time?

Mew was taken aback by what Gulf just said.

- What?

- You know... - Gulf was hesitant to say it - The scandal thing... - he finished in a low voice.
