The One

Chapter 11

AN: Another update! Happy reading ☺️☺️

"Phi.. we have received the response from the contractor. I think we can go ahead with it but should we check the site first" Gulf entered Mew's office engrossed in the documents at hand. He did not realise that Mew was preoccupied with some other matter.

"Can you knock sweetheart?" Mew said in a rather tired voice grabbing Gulf's attention.
"Are you ok Phi? You look tired"
"Are you worried?" Mew's lips curved up.
Gulf flustered. Mew laughed mockingly.
Rolling his eyes, Gulf repeated his question "Are you okay?"

"I am fine.. where do you want to go?"
"Oh.. to the site"
"Yes.. sure"
"If you are tired, I can go with Max"
"NO!"
"What is your problem with him?" Gulf chuckled.
"Nothing.. let's go"

Mew and Gulf spent the entire day inspecting the site and the materials. Mew was grumpy all day but having Gulf accompany him, helped his sour mood a little. He was following Gulf like lost puppy all day. Finally, they finished their work by evening.
"Shall we go for drinks?" Mew asked hesitantly
Gulf was shocked. Mew would never let him go out drinking before. He was too paranoid to be out alone drinking with him.
"At home or office ?" Gulf asked back casually
"Pub.."
"Is it safe?"
"Don't talk as if you never went to a pub"
"I did.. but I was alone and low key"
"Then we will be low key"
Gulf was still contemplating but got pulled by Mew into his car and they left.

Mew drove for quite a while and stopped at an elite pub. The words SKYBAR were blinking brightly in neon lights on top of the building. Outside was a long queue of chaotic young adults dressed sexily. Mew cut the line with Gulf in tow.

The bouncers at the entry looked at Mew nodded and let them in. Mew held Gulf closer by his waist, cutting through, they went straight to the VVIP lounge and settled themselves into a corner.
"Do you own this place P'Mew?" Gulf was curious
"My friend's" Mew said while checking out the place. It was not new to Gulf. Mew had enough enemies trying to take him out. So he always was on high alert and that is why Gulf got curious when Mew wanted to get drunk in a public place.

"What do you want to have? It's on me" Mew motioned someone to take order.
They ordered drinks and food. The music was great too. However Gulf was not comfortable and wanted to go home. He constantly felt as if being watched.
It was almost midnight.
"Let's dance!" Mew said in Gulf's ear.
This made Gulf's heart flutter. What is it with P'Mew today? Why is he getting so clingy to me?

Before Gulf could reply Mew pulled him to dance floor. He held his gaze and pulled him closer by waist. As if on cue the song changed to a slow number. Gulf gulped hard. His hands on Mew's chest, half heartedly trying to stop him. However his hands seemed to have mind of their own. Instead of pushing they held on to him.

'What are you doing Gulf?' Gulf was cursing himself mentally but there was a part of him that liked whatever was going on.
Mew put his face in the crook of his neck still swaying their bodies to the music. Gulf felt a shiver. His hands automatically held Mew's nape pulling him closer. Mew inhaled Gulf's scent his eyes closed, he moved to his shoulders peppering kisses.
Gulf's heart was racing, hands clumsily trying to hold on to whatever they could find. Mew's shirt, his arms , his hair or even his buttocks.
They were in the middle of a dance floor. Although not as crowded as the general area but there were quite a few people. Mew ignored them all.
Gulf's knees were going weak when Mew went further down. Gulf opened his eyes wide,"P'Mew!!" His voice drowned by the music, horrified he kept looking at Mew who did not not even pause and kept going lower, smelling and kissing Gulf wherever he pleased.
His neck, his chest, his stomach, his lower abdomen.

Gulf's stomach muscles tensed up, giving him a funny feeling. Mew's hands sliding down along the side of his body..
Mew went on one knee, Gulf was breathing hard, eyes rolled up, head tilted back. His brain telling him to stop but his body wanting more when suddenly
Zoooop
Banggg
Sudden gun shot created a panic and people started running around to shield themselves.

Gulf out of his daze, on high alert trying to understand what happened. He looked at Mew to ensure he was okay. However he was shocked to know the source of chaos was Mew, himself.

Slowly getting up with a murderous look on his face, his eyes glaring at the man who was groaning on the floor, clutching his right hand.
The pocket knife that Mew threw at him was stuck right in the middle of his hand that held the gun.
Mew went closer to him and lowered to his level speaking in a low, cold voice.
"Who sent you?"
The man answered in only screams. Mew's men gathered around them clearing out the people.
"Mewwww , my boy! How are you?" Florence came almost immediately at the scene. It was one of his pub, one that generated the highest revenues.
Mew smirked, pulled the knife out without blinking an eye and turned around to look at Florence.
"Another incident in your territory" Mew gave a devilish smile.
"Are you blaming me again Supasit" Florence asked sternly.
"No.. why would you think so.. "Mew said smirking while wiping the knife on Florence's expensive coat. Florence felt uncomfortable with the closeness. Mew inspected the clean knife, looked into his eyes and said "I really hope you are not involved. Remember this is your last chance."

He put the knife back into the holster on his ankle, pulled Gulf by his waist and dailed Lhong.
"Deal with the mess"
Two of his men immediately followed him out maintaining their distance.

When they reached the parking lot, Gulf pushed himself away from Mew
"What just happened?" He asked angrily
"Nothing." Mew was surprised at his reaction
"Is this what you call low key?" Gulf raised his pitch
"Why are you shouting?" This was not new to Mew or Gulf. Little aggressive than before, maybe but not new. Why was Gulf reacting this way. If Mew had not hit him, they could have been shot. Was Gulf not understanding this?

"That man was tailing us since evening"Mew tried to reason out but sharp pain emerged as Gulf's punch landed on his face.
Mew sharply looked at his guards who immediately reached out for their guns as if to say "I dare you"
They immediately retracted.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! I was telling you to get out. We could have easily slipped them. But you had to show off! Now you have jeopardised not only me but my family's safety too. You selfish jerk!"Gulf once again hit Mew's chest hard.

Mew realised and was immediately regretting his decision to involve Gulf. But he had to show everyone that they could not touch him. Just as he was worried for Gulf, Gulf was worried for his family. His family, and that is not Mew. Mew realised his mistake
"Gulf, I am sorry" he tried to cup Gulf's face, yet again he was pushed away.
"Leave me alone P'Mew! Don't you dare come near me"
Gulf was extremely agitated and stormed out of there leaving Mew standing alone, hurt and broken.

AN: Thank you for encouraging me with lots of votes. Have a nice day!
