Mew's POV

-----------------------------------

That incident melted the little ice that had left between me and Gulf, I won't be surprised anymore if we are seen as a couple since we become so touchy and we get so close invading each other personal space, sleeping together became a must hugging each other to sleep, I don't even think I will be able to sleep alone anymore, one the first night after the incident, when I felt Gulf's back touching mine, I suddenly became greedier and wanted to feel him more and I was on cloud nine when he didn't push me

When I finally noticed my feelings, I was so much in love with Gulf that I can't see anyone else, he is astonishingly beautiful and amazingly cute, his pure clear aura made him so shiny in my eyes, he is perfect, too perfect that makes me think I don't deserve him but I don't want to leave him, I want us to stay together for a very long time

' I love Gulf ' I keep repeating that inside me as my feelings were boiling ready to explode any moment yet I had to control myself, I'm just a close friend to Gulf and now we need to focus on catching that killer, he is unnecessarily professional at hiding and running away and mixing in with the group, I've never met a psycho like him so I asked Luke and Noah for advices on how to catch him

"I've met a murder like him before, it's nearly impossible to catch them without a plan especially when they are super careful themselves" Luke said while they were having a group chat

"I also did meet some like him and it was so hard to get evidences against him"

"then how am I supposed to deal with this bastard?! " I asked irritated

"I can only think of one way to get the psycho" Luke said

"actually me too, the only way is to trick him"

"using a bait to trick him into coming to certain place and then catch him there would be the only way Mew"

"are you saying that Gulf should be the bait to attract that murder?! No way!!! I won't let Gulf be in that dangerous situation"

"I will do it" suddenly Gulf into my room, I glanced up in surprise to find him looking serious, he sat next to me greeting Luke and Noah on the PC

"if Luke's idea about using me as bait to trick him will work, I will do anything, I want to hurry and catch him"

"according to our experience, using a bait has 90% chance of success, even if he is extra careful, he will let down his guard if he is really blinded by you Gulf" Noah explained

"no! it's too dangerous, he almost kidnapped you twice before and from the videos I saw, he is a monster, he will do anything to get you"

"I understand how worried and anxious you are Mew, but I'm fed up with living in fear like this, it's been more than year since I could enjoy myself and completely relax, I want to hurry and catch so I can live peacefully again"

"I agree with Gulf, Mew, I know how threatening this is but you should do whatever it takes to get him and throw him in jail, of course, making a perfect plan is a must covering all details, we will help with the plan too, and of course, your family and close friends should also be included in this just in case" Luke said

"you've been living in fear just standing by the defense line, it's time for both you to move to offense line Mew, this evil man is smart criminal and just hiding and avoiding him would get you nowhere, I'm sure together we can catch him, me and Luke will try to join you and help you too."

"thank you, Luke, Noah, you are really an amazing people and I'm glad I got to meet you, well I'm sorry for including you in this dangerous situation"

"that's what friends are for, and you are already a part of the family Gulf" Noah winked making Gulf blush a little looking away

"family? What family?" I asked looking to the screen and to Gulf

"our family, we are not just friends" Luke said but I felt like they were hiding smth. After that discussion we started making the perfect plan to get the killer, Gulf decided to only tell his friends who rushed to our place, luckily, Luke and Noah managed to get 5 days off and they will be coming this Friday

The plan will go like this, this Sunday, tomorrow, I will go out with Luke and Noah as if we are going out to have fun, with me away, that killer will surely contact Gulf again and that's when Gulf will act all angry and leave his apartment and will go straight to his old house that is currently empty, we are sure that the murder will take that chance to get Gulf and will break into his house, we already placed secret cameras there, me, Luke, Noah, Prem and Ram will all be guarding around the place, luckily, Prem and Ram are also armed so it's 5 against one, we can surely catch him

We thought about all possibilities, about him using a weapon to hurt Gulf which is why Gulf will be armed too, we all turned our phones off and went to the university to discuss this plan just in case he was eavesdropping on us, we also discussed about our hiding spot and since Gulf was the most familiar with the place he told us where to stand exactly without being seen and of course we never went there afraid that he may follow us and back away, that night, Luke and Noah were staying at my room while me and Gulf slept in his room, it's been a while for me to be here

"are you sure Gulf? We can change the plan now" I asked while holding him from behind, it became a habit sleeping like this, he slowly turned facing me still in my embrace, we both were startled by how close our faces are, our noses where even touching slightly but neither of us backed away

"no! I will do it, I won't lie and say I'm not worried or scared but knowing that you are close by and that you will surely protect me gives me strength, we can do it Mew, we will get him and we will be able to enjoy our time as much as we want after this" a soft grin appeared on his face, he is so beautiful, I couldn't stop myself from admiring and memorizing every inch of his face, his slightly pink cheeks made him look even cuter, I unconsciously reached and gently caressed his hair, he kept smiling

"I will protect you no matter what, I will do my utmost to keep you safe and shield you from any danger"

"thank you but please don't get hurt, I will hate myself if you badly get hurt because of me" he said looking concerned

"even if I get hurt, I will quickly recover and keep being by your side and of course you will help taking care of me during that time"

"of course I will take care of you forever" we kept starring at each other and without noticing we both fell asleep, Gulf is my most precious person, I love him so much that I even don't mind dying for him, he taught me so much, how to be friendly, how to smile, how to relax and how to love, I will do anything for him, my feelings for him were so strong and overwhelming that I exploded, I planned on hiding my feeling forever but in reality it's impossible, the next day, after getting ready both physically and emotionally, we started heading out by 10 am, Luke and Noah went out first

"Gulf, please be safe, don't forget to take your gun with you and stay careful"

"I will" my heart was beating fast out of worry, if I could I would lock him away, we must get that psycho today at any costs, I got closer and hugged Gulf so tightly, at that moment, all kind of thoughts passed through my mind, what if I get hurt? What if smth happens and I won't be able to meet Gulf again? at least I want to tell him how I feel so I won't regret it later, I swiftly made Gulf look at me we stared with wide eyes

"Gulf, I know it's not the right time but I want to confess smth just in case anything may happen" I stated

"what?" he asked looking a bit worried, I breathed out calming myself, my heart was thumbing loudly in my ear, my feelings rushed out forming the words in my mouth

"I actually love you Gulf, not just a friend, but as a man, as someone I want to live with for a very long time, as someone I want to hold and kiss every day, I know this is so shocking for you and I don't expect you to accept me but I just want you to know that I really love you and will always be with you" I said letting him go, Gulf was speechless looking at me with a red face, when I noticed that he was trying to say smth

"you don't have to say anything right now, we will talk about this after we catch that psychopath... I really became crazy, confessing at a time like this... I will protect you with my life, please stay safe" with this I rushed out not waiting for Gulf's respond, right now we should focus and follow the plan, as soon we got out of the building we walked to the main street and got a cap, once we arrived, we met up with Prem and Ram and we stood at the exact spots Gulf told us about, soon after, Gulf called me and I could hear him slamming the front door and taking the elevator which mean that the 1st part of the plan worked and Gulf is on his way here.

I heard him starting the car, we all started getting nervous, it was a shared call and everyone knew that Gulf is already on his way to his house, I won't get into details, our plan was actually perfect, soon after Gulf arrived, that killer appeared, he was carefully walking looking around, from my position, I could see how he was glancing around but he didn't see me while he approached the front door that Gulf locked, physically he looks so strong like those weightlifters with thick muscular arms, since he found the door locked, he climbed a tree that was near Gulf's parents bedroom's balcony and he made a long jump and almost missed his step, I wish he did and fell down breaking a bone to make easier for us.

The moment he got in, we all slowly walked closer while sneaking around just in case he may look out of a window, me and Noah stood by the front door, while Luke, Prem and Ram were by the back door, we all was waiting for Gulf's signal

"finally, I got you my love" we all froze for a moment once we heard his voice over the phone, that evil man is face to face with Gulf right now, I was fighting the urge to barge in right now but I know I will mess everything if I do, please Gulf, be careful

"ho-how did you fi-find me?" Gulf asked with a cracked voice, he was really terrified

"I've always kept watching you, I was waiting for you to get old enough so we can be together without any problems, Ram must have already contacted the police by now, we were all ready as we both slowly and quietly unlocked the front and back door

"you are insane, you hurt, tortured and even killed people, you are a monster!"

"I become one for you my dear, I had to keep all threats away from you, from now on I will protect you and shower you with all the love I have from you"

"no! stay away from me you bastard! I despise you, you make me so disgusted, just leave me alone!!!" Gulf yelled, hearing his frightened voice and how he was struggling over the phone made me loose it and I almost got in but was stopped by Noah

"you kidnapped during high school and tortured that couple until they were on the verge of death in front of me, because of you I was traumatized and got scared of everyone around me, you ever threw that axe at that suit man smashing his face in front of my eyes, you have been threatening me and even tried to kidnap me so many times, you even used aphrodisiac to get me, you are really a monster"

"I did all that to protect you, I'm crazily in love with you and I want to hurry and make you mine, let's leave the country and start a new life together, I promise I will be a good guy from now on and keep you safe with me!!!"

"you're the worst, I'd rather die than go with you!!! No stay away of me! Let me go!! Help me! Someone help me!" Gulf yelled

"no one will help you, you are all alone here, even your bodyguard left to have fun with his friends, let's have fun too before traveling away"

"no! save me!!!" the moment he said that, we all got in keeping quiet so he won't ran away, once we got to Gulf's room, we pushed our way inside all of us pointing our weapons to his face, rage was filling me seeing him holding Gulf down the bed with a hand while the other was sliding under Gulf's shirt, the man was shocked seeing us like that, Luke, Prem and Ram quickly blocked all windows while I was aiming a gun to his head and Noah with a knife next to me

"this is bastard, we finally got you, let Gulf go or I swear I will empty my gun into your head" I said stepping closer, the man quickly pulled a big knife and tried to get Gulf but thankfully Gulf was faster and kicked him away pulling his gun from under the pillow and aiming it at him

"I suffered a lot because of you, now it's your time to rot in jail and suffer for the rest of your life" Gulf said with pure hatred and anger in his eyes, the man looked so furious, at that moment we heard the police car, Ram looked outside

"the police is here, it's over" unfortunately, that man took that chance and hit Ram hard getting his gun, Gulf was shocked seeing his friend hurt as well as Prem who froze, that bastard quickly opened the window and climbed up while he was aiming at Ram which made us unable to shoot him, I heard the police yelling from under the window, feeling so cornered, the psycho looked to Gulf

"if I won't have you, no one will" as if I knew what he was going to do, I jumped covering Gulf as he already pulled the trigger, everything happened so quickly, I successfully managed to cover Gulf, Luke who was next to Prem took the gun and shot the man right in the shoulder making him fall out of the window

"Mew?" Gulf called me with a trembling voice, Ram who was facing me was looking at me with wide shocked eyes, for me I felt a burning in my chest and when I touched I saw blood rushing out so much, all strength have left my legs as I started falling down, I was caught by Gulf before hitting my head on the ground, all noises started to feel distant, I faintly heart Prem calling for an ambulance and some of the police rushing into the room, everyone surrounded me but I was only looking to Gulf who was already crying as his tears were falling on my cheek, he was apologizing and telling me to never leave him

"I'm so glad you are fine, I don't have any regrets" I'm glad I confessed to him earlier, I already enjoyed my life and did everything I wanted, I even fell in love, although I wish that I could keep being with Gulf for a very long time but I think it's impossible, I'm sorry Gulf, 'I will keep always watching over you', with that last thought my consciousness faded away.
