Married A Stranger

CHAPTER 19

"Guys don't you see how is this fate?
We all met our partner in Vegas again, it must be true love for us then"

"Run I seriously think you're stupid sometimes" at Boat words Gulf couldn't help but laugh at their friends bickering, "Boat you're still half in denial so I won't accept judging from you. I'll miss having fun and getting laid every night with someone different but if it's destiny I can't escape" As his usual Run was being very dramatic about the whole thing "You watch too many dramas" Gulf told him chuckling.

"I'll see if he remembers me" he stood up to go towards the man at the bar, still unaware of what was about to happen "What if he doesn't?" Gulf tried to warn him but Run had already decided and was impossible to stop
"I'll make him" he said winking before walking away.
Now that Run was away and Boat was busy eating the salmon they just served Gulf finally took his phone

Hubby:  I need to ask you something important

The text was sent that morning, Gulf thought that when they met each other before he said something about talking but then they... got distracted.
What is it?

Hubby:I'd prefer talking face to face 

You lost your chance before, now I'm too curious 

Hubby:There was something more important to do before...

Just tell me

Hubby: Come here then

Gulf raised his gaze to meet the other's devilish one a few tables in front of him. He was considering the idea of actually getting up and reach to him as his curiosity was devouring him inside, but "Are you really married Gulf?" Boat swallowed the last bite and interrogated him before he could even think of standing up "Wow, that's weird. But it was just a drunk crazy thing and you're gonna annul the wedding right?"

"Yeah in six months" it was the first time he said it out loud to someone, but somehow it didn't feel right. He looked at the other from afar and thought that he wouldn't mind staying married with him maybe, there was gonna be always time to annul it, but for once what others would've called a catastrophe seemed the best thing that ever happened to him. "Am I crazy if I say I don't want to?" Boat's shocked face told him the answer "It's just that I think I like it, maybe I like the idea of having someone that cares for me and who I'm bonded with, or maybe I like him cause he showed me how sweet and caring he can be"

"Or maybe it's just about sex"  Run finished his sentence "He must be good to get you all confident like this" Gulf didn't answer him, instead he chugged down the drink Run had just put on the table before his friend could even finish saying "Hey that was mine!". He could already feel the alcohol  burn his throat and his head getting light "And it was pretty strong" he could barely hear his friend's complains, he was too focused, too lost into his thoughts to care about anything else. "What if we stay married?" he turned fast towards his friends worried faces with a big grin "He's kind, he likes me, I think he's even rich" he chuckled at his last words "and he's great in bed...and other places" he now giggled, "And you're already drunk" Run sighed "You had only one drink!" 

"No, he had another before" Boat specified "Why didn't you stop him then? You know he takes stupid decisions when he's drunk. Example: He got married! With a total stranger!" Run argued right before taking a glass and filling it with water "C'mon drink some water, I'll go find our coats so we can go outside and breath some fresh air. Don't move and don't let him go anywhere in the meantime" 

But what Run didn't know is that when he'd be back at the table it would've found it empty.

Gulf was approaching Mew when he saw a group of girls talking and giggling around him and, call it jealously or his drunken state, he threw himself at him shouting " He's my husband, find one of you own" to the shock of all the people around them "Sorry, he's my friend and he's very drunk" Mew apologized before dragging him away as soon as possible. "Why did you lie?" Gulf pouted as soon as they where far from the crowd, outside the venue "I'll gladly tell the world you're mine, but they are co-workers and I'd want to tell my father before his colleagues do it". Mew saw how Gulf shivered and took off his jacket to give it to the younger "How much did you drink?" as a response Gulf only gestured 'a pinch' with his fingers, "It looks more than that" Mew smiled at the other's cuteness. "We can see the stars!" suddenly Gulf yelled looking up at the sky, Mew followed his gaze and looked up too "Yeah it's beautiful". Then he stared at the boy again and held him close to his chest to hug him "Gulf" hearing his name he locked eyes with Mew waiting for him to continue "Do you want to move in with me?" 

Gulf broke the eye contact to see stare amused at something behind Mew, who turned to see better and found the weirdest image in front of his eyes: Boat and Mild were only a few meters from them, under a gazebo. Very close to each other, arms wrapped and lips joined, they were kissing right there, thinking of being hidden by the darkness, away from everyone, but unaware that the stars were too bright that night and two pair of curios eyes were now staring at them.
