Chapter 14
_______________
"I have always thought that love was about big moments, that I had to endure pain because love was worth it. Yet here you are, and our love is just simple, pure, a love that I want for the rest of our lives."

There is duality in having sex. It feels like heaven when you're experiencing it on the present, but hurts like hell when the next day came.
Woke up stark naked, Gulf couldn't manage to stand up nor sit upright with his aching backside. He wanted to bite, slap or maybe punch his lover for not holding back last night. He wanted to scold himself for letting the monster inside Mew devour him, and not stopping it any sooner.
However, there's always a silver lining. Gulf thought that he'd have that 'after sex' smell given that they had sex more than once. Surprisingly, he didn't feel sticky and disgusting. Gulf smelled himself, and it reminded him of vanilla. It is because before Mew lost his strength last night, he had cleaned his lover since he didn't want Gulf to wake up sore and uncomfortable.
Mew slept soundly, his body exhausted from too much physical exertion due to their sexual exercise the previous night. Gulf couldn't help but stare at the sleeping deity beside him. He often wondered how Mew maintained his pale complexion when he is a swimmer. 'Maybe he only swims if the pool is covered.' He thought to himself.
Gulf's stomach grumbled, and he sat up slowly while his hands reaching for the telephone at the bedside drawer. And the mere movement shot prickles of pain in his back, and he decided to go back in his previous position inside his lover's warm embrace.
For about half an hour of staring into his lover's peaceful face, he decided to grab his phone and sat up. Given his situation, it can be an indication that he wouldn't be able to walk for hours or even a day. Gulf was not in a really good mood provided that he's sore, hungry and bored.
When he opened his phone and turned on the wifi, numerous text messages from Mild flooded his LINE and notifications rang loudly in their bedroom. Gulf flicked the side of his phone to silence it, afraid that he might disturb Mew's slumber.
Mild: Gulf? IS IT TRUE THAT YOU ELOPED WITH P'MEW?
Mild: TELL ME THE DEETS
Mild: GULF NOTICE ME
Mild: NOTIS ME SENPAIII.
Mild: CAN I BE THE MEWGULF PRESIDENT? 5555
Mild: If you're not going to reply, I will take your silence as a yes.
Mild: you got laid didn't you? Always remember to practice safe sex~~~
Mild: You really won't answer me... I thought we were friends
Mild: I'll forgive you since I am a very good friend. Just tell me... Was it good?
Mild: It's already noon and still no reply. P' must have gone all the way last night 5555
Mew stirred from his sleep when he heard Gulf's soft chuckles. He half-opened his eyes and saw that his lover is red from laughing at something at his phone. Jealousy made Mew snap out of his sleepy self and wanted to see whom Gulf was texting first thing in the morning— or afternoon for this matter.
Mew's eyes travelled on Gulf's neck down to his abdomen which is filled with hickeys and bruises, all of his doing. His mood lit up instantly, not quite believing what had happened last night. He won't deny that it was the best sex he had experience his whole life, and he wanted to do it with Gulf again and again. Sex really feels different when doing it with the person you love, and Mew couldn't get enough of it.
Gulf is a masterpiece; and even though one is not allowed to touch an artwork, Mew's body and soul wanted to hold it in his hands. Gulf is the masterpiece he wanted to stare at the rest of his life, and nothing could make him look away.
Gulf: What are you babbling about Ai Mild? You really have a dirty mind.
It has not been a minute after Gulf replied, and Mild immediately responded. For Mild is that one friend we have that replies really fast and wants to gossip most of the time. As the President of the MewGulf fan club, he needs to know the details of the people he's shipping or else he'd be deemed as incompetent. Fanboying seems to be the only thing he's good at.
Gulf had wanted to tell Mild and his friends about his relationship with Mew, but he did not know if his lover will be okay with it. In addition to that, he felt really guilty not telling Tay and wants to tell him first. After all, Tay brought him and Mew together.
Mild: I know right. So, where are you right now?
Gulf: Pattaya...
Mild: OmO
Mild: You had a honeymoon on the Sin City? That's hardcore Gulf!
Gulf: What honeymoon are you talking about Mild?
Mild: Fine. You seem to not like the word honeymoon. Should I change it to sex then?
Gulf: SHIA MILD!!!
Mild: Then pray tell me why are the two of you are alone together in the SIN CITY of THAILAND
Gulf: We had a misunderstanding...
Mild: you have a misunderstanding and you decided to fuck—-
Mild: I mean— go to the beach?
Gulf noticed that his lover had already woken up and decided to stop his amusing yet perverted exchange with Mild. But he could not deny that he would always crack up whenever he talks with his friend, and was thankful for it.
Gulf: It's a long story... I'll tell you soon...
Mild: You better!!! I expect long narration and vivid details!!! Enjoy your sexcapede—- I mean, quality time.
"Good morning Bii... Is your backside sore?" Mew asked his lover innocently, even though he already knew the answer.
"No, I'm okay. I'm not sore at all. " Gulf sarcastically retorted with a small smile playing on his lips. He wanted to sulk at his lover, but could not put himself to. It would be too uncanny if a sex god like Mew fucked him and he wouldn't feel any pain at all; the idea was just impossible.
"Do I hear a note of sarcasm Bii?"
"Note? More like a symphony." Both of them laughed and Mew couldn't help but clutch his stomach due to his lover's witty remark.
Mew decided to take responsibility to his actions like the 'adult' that he is. He pampered his lover like a queen, assisted him on taking a wholesome shower, bought any food that Gulf ordered and massaging his lower back. Gulf enjoyed every moment of his as he was never pampered by anyone. He wanted to be spoiled at least once in his life, and was glad that Mew was up to the task.
After hours of lounging and cuddling, the sun already started setting, coloring the sky pink, orange and blues. Their hotel room is located at the 15th floor, giving them quite an amazing view of the seaside of Pattaya.
It was a calming sight, with waves lapping sound on the background and people bustling and walking down the sea. It was as if the city is nocturnal, and store lights flicked on hoping to attract local and foreign customers.
Gulf sat comfortably at Mew's lap, while Mew's hands wrapped around his lover. Their eyes overlook the scenery with the help of the full glass window. While looking at the glass window, Mew's imagination came to a wake and tried his best not to have a boner since his lover is sitting comfortably in his lap.
Mew imagined his lover on the glass window, standing at panting when he shoved his member into him. He bit his tongue too hard, hoping to remove the erotic idea that has been forming in his mind. Mew had wanted to do it in front of the glass window; he couldn't care less if somebody will see them, but he knows that Gulf would never agree to it.
Gulf was becoming sleepy when he feels something poking in his thigh. He knows what it is, and decided to give attention to it. Gulf shifted slightly and innocently at his seat, making sure that he touches his lover's hard member in the process. He closed his eyes, faking sleep and leaned his head on Mew's chest.
He wanted to chuckle at his Mew's distress, but stopped himself. Gulf could feel his lover's increased heartbeat and deep breaths. Mew knows that he should remove himself from the situation or else things would escalate quickly (or sexually).
Mew took a cold shower to help with the intense heat that he was feeling. After tasting his lover last night, it seems that he would have difficulty preventing having an erection. Mew mentally slapped himself for getting too excited just by the mere imagination of his lover's naked body.
After the shower, Mew texted his narcissistic older brother to meet him later. His borther, Earth, owned a hotel, restaurant and pool club named Planet Earth Beach Club which is famous for its beach parties. He had prepared something for his lover, and he wanted Earth to meet the person he's willing to give up everything for.
Mew urged Gulf to also take a shower since they would go strolling and eating tonight. When Gulf entered the bathroom, Mew took out the clothes that they bought a day before. They bought a matching denim jacket and pants, and Mew decided to wear a white long sleeve shirt and prepared a black long sleeve shirt for his lover.
It would make Mew an inattentive boyfriend if he did not know that Gulf loved eating seafood. Living in Chiang Mai in his high school years and Bangkok in college really made Gulf miss seafood and would eat a lot when he comes home in Pha Ngan. Taking this in consideration, Mew knows that a high end dinner that serves Western food would not make his lover as happy as a Michelin star seafood place.
When they arrived, Gulf was ecstatic to see that Mew brought him to a place he had always wanted to visit. The Seaside is Michelin Star restaurant that specializes in seafood, and being a seafood enthusiast, Gulf couldn't wait to eat. But he wonders why a Michelin Star place would have no customers at this time, when it should be flooded since it is peak time.
There is only one plausible reason as to why the place is deserted. Mew had rented the whole place for themselves.
The place gives off a feeling of a tourist who just arrived in his destination. Literally, it was beside the sea, with wooden planks supporting it. The sound and smell of the sea, combined with the white lights of the lamps and stars made the place even more romantic. The tables are placed like the hotel rooms in Maldives, so that each couple could maximize their quality time together.
Mew helped his lover sit down on the chair, and handed him a bouquet of coral roses. Gulf had never had a favorite color before and only chose monochromatic colors. But now, he had one. The only thing that bothered Gulf is what the coral colored roses could mean.
While waiting for their food, Gulf couldn't help but notice the lingering stare of the waitress at his lover. He wanted to be pissed but he knows that the mood and effort of his lover will just go to waste if they fought here; and it is not every day that they enjoy and travel to Pattaya.
At the same way, Mew observed that the male server had been eyeing Gulf since they entered the restaurant. When Gulf was not looking, he would glare at the server, but the guy does not seem to notice it since his gaze is fixed on Gulf.
"Boo... I was wondering if it's okay to tell P'Tay about us? If you don't want to tell anyone, it would be fine with me." Gulf opened up about the topic they had been both avoiding. There is no stable footing in their relationship and they should build it as early as possible.
"Okay Bii. We'll tell him after we return. I... want to apologize. I know I've been selfish, hiding our relationship to people well in fact you don't deserve that kind of treatment. As much I hate to admit, talking with N'Drake is kind of a slap on my face. You are more important than my ego, reputation and image. If you want to tell your friends, it would be okay."
The coral tint of the rose found its way on Gulf's cheeks. Mew held his lover's hand, intertwining it with his, seeing the male server frown on his peripheral vision. They hold each other's hands tightly, while at each other's soul, and their lips turned upright by the mere interaction.
"Umm... What about your mother Boo? I know that she... doesn't want me for you."
"I don't give a fuck about her prejudiced opinion. And you should too. She can't make me stop loving you Bii. No matter what she offers me, I'd choose you again and again. What I'm more worried about is your parents. Do they know?" Gulf bit his lip and sighed deeply. He had wanted to tell his parents of his sexual reference when he met BJ Tharn, but he never had the courage to do so. Now that he's in a relationship, it scared him even more.
"I was planning on it... but I'm scared. As far as they know, I've never been into a relationship nor attracted to any human being. I don't know what their reactions may be or if they approve of it. But, I want you to meet them Boo... if you... are okay with it."
"I would love to meet your parents Bii. Should I prepare the marriage dowry already?" Mew half joked. He was willing to pay a dowry if Gulf's parents wanted it; he just wants to spend his lifetime with the person in front of him.
Before Gulf could reply, the food had arrived. The moon had already came out of hiding, and the sun went to sleep. Despite the stillness of the night, Gulf had never felt alive especially when there was a lavish dinner waiting for him. It was a feast, with Gulf's favorite Thai seafoods adoring their table.
Grilled Jumbo Prawns in Tamarind Sauce, How Mok or Thai fish custard, Tom Yum Goong, Miang Pia Too and Boo Paht Pong Karee is just the first to be served and it made Gulf excited. Mew just stared adoringly at his lover who was starry eyed looking at the dishes.
Again, he mentally pat himself in the back for choosing the seafood restaurant even though it as owned by his brother.
"Bii, do you want the desserts to be served now or later?" Mew asked his lover who was gaping at the number of foods arriving at their table while casually picking at his prawns while Mew tried the spicy Tom Yum Goong soup first.
"I'm the dessert Boo..." Mew choked on his soup, and Gulf handed him a glass of water while laughing his ass off.
"Didn't know that you like to be choked, Mew." Gulf stared at the guy near their table, and was contemplating to continue eating or not. The man was wearing a casual navy blue
"Fuck you. What are you doing here? I thought you were at your beach club." It was already part of their brotherly bond of cursing to each other, but Mew never cursed at his other brother Max. To him, Max is scarier that Earth even though Earth is older.
"You really good at introductions aren't you? Shitty brother. I'll introduce myself then. I'm Earth, Mew's older brother and the owner of this restaurant. You must be Gulf right? Sucks to be you to have fallen for my bastard brother. I hope you like the food here though."
Mew didn't like the way Gulf's eyes shimmered when Earth told him that he owned the restaurant that they're currently eating. There are so many guys that wanted his Bii, and he didn't like it. Gulf was his.
"The food is really good here Phi. I think I'm having a foodgasm." Gulf proclaimed like a child tasting chocolate for the first time.
"See, Mew? I could make your lover have an orgasm just by eating my food." Earth smirked at his younger brother who was clearly pissed and wanted to cut off his head. Good thing Mew was contemplating on which head to cut.
"You're ruining our date. You know that right? Now go away fucker."
"Fine. I was just checking your lover—" Earth joked. "I mean, both of you. And by the way, there will be a pool party tonight. Just drop by the Club if you want. Now, if you'll excuse me."
Mew glared at his brother's disappearing silhouette hoping that maybe he will trip and drown. Gulf just smiled upon seeing a new side of his lover. He never thought that he'd see Mew pouting and glaring like a child.
"You never said that your brother is hot. Is he taken?" Gulf added fuel to fire, and it worked.
"Why don't you date him instead? He's a great cook and 'hot'. No doubt he's your type." It was obvious that Mew is sulking at his lover; he never liked being compared to Earth.
"I was just kidding Boo. He's not my type..."
"He is your type. You were looking at him with starry eyes."
"Is my boo jealous?" Gulf was really enjoying seeing the creased eyebrows and pout of Mew, and that made him want to tease more.
"You think? I never get jealous."
"I love you Boo."
With those four simple words, a smile returned to Mew's face. The night is still young and they still have some partying to do.
