Blind Trust (MewGulf)

Chapter 23: The feeling of being taken cared of

POV Gulf

Mew and Gulf were seated on a couch in the dressing room, watching Best pace back and forward in front of them.

Boss was there too, seated on a chair, looking pale.

Apparently, Boss and Best were looking for them together, and when Best had screamed, Boss had barged into the room. The secret was out.

At least to their managers.

It wasn't a big deal to Gulf. He didn't care if people knew, the problem was his boyfriend. He still remembered his warning when they got together.

"Then we're together Nong. But beware of this, no one can know. I'm not willing to risk it when it comes to you. Please tell me you understand that?"

Knowing the story now, Gulf could understand where the fear was coming from.

If this makes Mew take a step back I'm gonna kill Best.

That was Mew's worst nightmare, repeating itself. Gulf took a look at his Phi, only to see him staring at the floor with a blank expression on his face.

- How long? - Best finally asked.

Both, Mew and Gulf looked at him.

- How long has this been going on? - he specified.

- A couple of days - Gulf answered. It was crazy how much had happened in only a week.

- Great. So it's new - Best said - That way you can break it off with no big drama.

Gulf felt Mew tensed beside him. Trying to calm him down, Gulf took his hand and gave it a little squeeze.

- I'm sorry P'Best... that's not happening - Gulf said as calmly as he could.

- You can't do this Gulf! - everyone jumped at the sudden outburst - You can't put your career on the line. This will make everything complicated!

Gulf stood up and got closer to Best. He wasn't going to let anyone break them apart. He was going to show Mew he wasn't like HIM.

- You're getting something wrong here P'Best - Gulf started saying slowly - I'm not asking for permission. I know what I'm getting into. I'm not stupid. I'm a grown man that can certainly make decisions about his love life.

- I can't believe you're foolish as to do this. Right when you're starting in this industry!

- I respect you P'Best, and I will always be thankful for this opportunity, but we love each other. Do you really think I would do this if I wasn't certain of my feelings?

- How about him?! Huh?! Are you certain of his feelings? This is something he does! He has done it before! This could destroy you!

Oh, hell no.

- I'm not allowing you to talk about him like that! - Gulf was mad at that point - If you think this could destroy me then I'll give up acting!

- N'Gulf - he heard the soft words coming out of Bosser, who hadn't said a thing the whole time.

Gulf looked at him breathing hard, trying to calm down.

- I think you should take a moment and look at Mew - he finally said.

Gulf turned around and looked at his boyfriend. Mew's body was shaking and he was pale as a paper. His hands were clenched, almost white because of the force he was using.

Gulf's heart sank.

I was so adamant of showing him I'm not like HIM, I forgot his fears.
