MY DAYS WITH YOU

Part 24.2 Desperation

"Ah, by the way, in a few weeks, I will travel to Morocco. [Gulf froze at the sound of that. He knows that Sadik is from there.] Believe it nor not, Sadik is getting married. [Gulf turned around] he finally will do it. I am happy for him."

Gulf placed the book on the desk and walked three steps then stopped. Mew walked to him and stood next to him. Without saying anything.

"That's why you went to his house last night?" Gulf wanted to ask him for a long time but didn't know how to do it.

"In a way, yes. He called me and asked me to go and see him. I also decided to stay there to give you more space to think and I guessed it worked. Look at us now." Mew gave a devilish smile and hug Gulf's slim waist.

Gulf was glad but pretended he was annoyed by it. "Mew, let me go. I have to do some research to take with me tomorrow." Gulf squirmed around to get out from Mew's hold even when he liked it.

Mew turned Gulf around, now, Gulf's back was against Mew's chest. "Gulf, there is something else. I know we are new to all these, but I want to be honest all the time. [Gulf was quiet, waiting for Mew]

"Sadik asked me to be the best man. I agreed since we are good friends and honestly, I want to make sure he gets to the wedding. [Gulf smiled] I need you to listen to this. I would like you to come with me."

Gulf turned around. "What? Are you sure?" Gulf's intensively looked at Mew.

Mew gently pulled Gulf closer to him. "Yes, I am sure." Mew let go of Gulf and walked to the other side of the desk.

"Mew? What's going on? You are worried about me." Gulf placed a hand on Mew's left shoulder.

"Gulf, he will be there." Mew's voice sounded different.

"Who? Who will be there that has you like this?" Gulf turned Mew around by placing both hands on his shoulders.

"Knock."

Gulf could not believe the name coming out of Mew's mouth. It resonates inside Gulf's head. The echo hammering inside of him and traveling to his chest like a tidal wave.

Mew noticed Gulf tensed up and grabbed his hands and removed them from his shoulders. "Gulf, listen, I don't feel anything for him. He will be there with his boyfriend. He and Kassandra work together, so it is natural for him to go as well." Gulf let go of Mew and sat on the small sofa by the door.

"So, are you taking me for support? To show him you really moved on?" Gulf was looking at Mew. He noticed Mew scratched his right cheek and walked to sit next to him.

When Mew sat, he turned his body halfway and grabbed Gulf's left shoulder.

"Gulf, when I agreed to be the best man and go to the wedding, I didn't know you had accepted your feelings for me yet. Still, now that we are together, I want you to come. I hate traveling by myself, plus I want to be with you all the time." Mew kissed Gulf's left temple.

The sweet kissed made Gulf smiled. "I am not sure if I can take days off again. I will be requested and see. I will be more than happy. I just need to see about Laura."

"Don't worry about it, I can ask Lamai, she will be more than happy," Mew said with a cheerful tone.

Gulf now turned his body to face Mew. "How would you feel seeing him? he was the reason you got sick and end up in the hospital." Gulf's voice was full of anger, even when he was trying to hide it. He remembered those days.

"No, he was not the reason my father was. Also, I was responsible for that. I am not defending him." Mew quickly explained as he noticed the look on Gulf's face.
