Mew's POV

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

"I'm sorry" I apologized

"you are precious to me and the closest out of all my friends but I don't have romantic feelings for you, I'm sorry" I continued, a wave of a silence surrounded the place, I slowly looked up to be shocked by how Gulf looked, he had tears in his eyes and his face was slightly red, he looked so hurt, it's my first time seeing him cry

"since I met you I felt interested in you, getting closer to you introduced me to many new feelings, I'm so happy and comfortable with you, I even feel safe, I learned a lot from you, I want to protect you, to be with you every minute, I love hearing your voice and seeing your smile, I fell in love with your everything" he said with pained soft voice

"I'm sorry" i could only apologize, he quickly left without saying anything else, I fell down back on the sofa being so gloomy and bitter, I never imagined that something like this would happen, it's my fault, I may have gave him a false hope, what should I do? I just lost him... he will never contact me again.

As I predicted, I never heard from him again, two weeks passed with heavyhearted feelings, I was mostly sad and down, his disappearance left a big hole in my life, his presence preoccupied my daily life so now everything around me remind me of him, he is really a precious friend and losing him like this is so painful.

I went back to my parents place on the weekend, I was laying on my bed day dreaming, mostly thinking about him when suddenly my phone vibrated, a message was send, I lazily took it but I quickly stood up once I saw the sender's name, it was Gulf

✉ I'm at your house ✉

I took my keys said my good bye to my family and left, I almost passed the speed limit while driving, I stormed into the house to find him sitting on the sofa holding a book, he looked calm and fine, I'm so glad he's not pale or hurt or anything, he slowly glanced up to me while I kept standing there speechless, I'm so happy to see him again but I don't know what to say to him

"it's been a while doctor" he said with a calm tone

"ye-yes" I looked away

"I was really hurt when you rejected me and locked myself home for three days"

"I'm sorry" I bit my lower lip feeling guilty

"don't apologize, it can't be helped if you didn't fall for me, feeling can't be controlled after all"

"still, I'm sorry for hurting you" I heard him sighing

"after thinking for a while I finally made a decision and was going to come here last week but I had a sudden business trip and only came back this morning"

"I see, you must be tired" all this time I was looking away, I have no courage to look at his face

"honestly, I am, yet, I wanted to see you as soon as possible, all this time I kept thinking about you doctor, I love you a lot"

"umm..."

"doctor, I'm not going to give up, I'm going to court you starting today until you fall for me" I turned to face him, I was blown away by his statement

"I'm going to do anything I can, sticking to you, following you around and even seducing you until I catch your heart" he looked serious and determined about his decision

"I... I don't know" a smile formed on his small face

"I will do what I want, you just open up your heart and give me a chance"

"are you sure? What if..."

"I'm sure about my decision, I've never loved anyone before as much I love you, one day you will surely understand me, just promise me that you will give me a chance"

"I promise Gulf, I actually wished you would find happiness with a better person"

"that's not going to happen, I can only see myself being by your side... well since I cleared everything with you, could you cook me smth? I'm starving and I miss your cooking, I already bought everything you may need" he said pointing to three full bags in the kitchen, I smiled feeling relaxed

"alright, I will make your favorite dish" I said wearing my apron

"that would be wonderful doctor, I love you!" he suddenly said making me flinch but he looked happy and smiling, he really is resolved on courting me.

Starting that day, he kept pursuing me every single day, from morning to night, he would sleep over more often than before, sending me love messages whenever he could and would sometimes call me too whispering sweet cheeky phrases, by night he would keep saying how much he loves and even hug me to sleep and let's not talk about how he even try to seduce me physically, hugging me from behind when he is shirtless or come out of the bathroom with wet hair only in his boxers.

I won't deny that I felt nothing from all those advances not to mention that he is shamelessly doing all that and never backing down, even though I can tell he is sometimes shy and his cheeks turn bright red but he is not giving up at all, seeing this side of him makes me feel... special? I mean I'm sure no one has ever saw him like this before.

When I got out of bath I noticed that Gulf was holding his phone smiling widely, it's rare to see him happy when texting someone, not only that but he also was so concentrated with his phone, he usually would jump to help me dry my hair or hug saying I smell good

"you look happy" I said sitting next to him

"oh I'm exchanging messages with my new friend"

"I'm glad you're making more friends"

"thank you, btw doctor, I'm coming back a little later tomorrow, I'm meeting my friend to help with smth" he said turning off his phone after writing one last message

"sure, then I will go visit my sister, I already miss my two nephews"

"make sure to take many pictures, I also miss them, they are so cute and fluffy"

"alright, let's visit them together next time"

The next day, I contacted my sister who told me that she went out on a date with her husband and left the kids with her husband's family so I decided to go shopping, well I only want to buy a new coat, boots and gloves since it's getting colder lately, I was walking around searching for something catchy when I w approached by someone

"hey P' Mew"

"oh, Jake, what a surprise meeting here"

"it sure is, are you shopping?"

"yes, I'm looking for a new coat and boots"

"me too, I want to buy a new coat, I'm heading to my usual shop by the end of this street want to come along?"

"I'd love to" we kept walking and talking about random things

"try this P' Mew" he showed me a long light grey wool coat and he helped me wearing it

"looks really good on you"

"I do like it, that dark blue also looked really nice"

"I know, I'm also trying to choose between the black one and blue one"

"for you I think the blue one is better, it matches your eyes color" he wore it again and stood in front of the mirror

"I think you're right, I'm taking this" he said to the shop clerk who bowed taking it to the counter

"what about your boyfriend, which will he choose?" another one asked making me taken aback

"whose boyfriend?" I asked while Jake was giggling

"mine of course, here you should take the light grey one it's better on you" he said taking off my coat and giving it to the clerk who looked excited and walked away with the coat

"since when I became your boyfriend?"

"since today"

"I don't remember accepting"

"just joking but isn't it fun seeing the females get excited about gay couple?"

"stupid" he giggled again, after paying, Jake took me to another shop he knew to buy boots, I found one that matches my coat

"are you free after this?"

"yes, why?"

"let's go eat lunch together, we've never talked so much before and I'm enjoying my time with you, of course if you don't mind" well he is Gulf's cousin so I should also be friendly with him

"sure, I'm actually hungry"

"me too, do you have a place you know around here? I only know the clothes shops in this area"

"yes, it's just after that intersection"

"then let's go" we sat talking about our lives, our work, he told me about his fiancée and even showed me her picture, he even told me about his family and his bad father and how he ended up in the Kanawut family

"wow P' Mew, it's really fun talking to you, and I kept blabbering about myself, I'm afraid if if I keep talking any longer I may end up telling you all my dark secrets" I giggled

"I'm all ears, you can trust me" I joked

"maybe next time then, now I understand why Gulf got attached to you, you are so friendly and easygoing, also a good listener, we should become close friends too"

"definitely"

"well I should go be going now, let's meet again"

I saw him riding his car then I went back to take mine, after buying dinner ingredients I went back home, I left my shopping bags on my bed then went to take a bath, then sat on my computer doing some research, suddenly, I heard the front door open and someone running inside

"doctor!!!!" Gulf's angry voice echoed through the house startling me

"Gulf? What's wrong?" he was in front of me looking furious and sad at the same time, I stood up

"why?! Why didn't you just tell me the truth!!!" he said confusing me

"what truth? What are you talking about?"

"I saw you today shopping with Jake, he was so close to you and touching you as he wanted and you are even dating" I was both perplexed and shocked by what he said

"it's true that I was shopping with Jake but where did this dating thing came from?"

"I saw you too in the coat shop helping each other and you even chose each other's coats and when I asked the clerk she told me that Jake told them that you are his boyfriend, you even went eating together laughing and having fun, I was watching all that time feeling hurt and heartbroken" he said the last part with tears sliding down his cheeks, I really hate seeing him like this, I don't want him to cry again, I reached hugging him tightly, he shuddered but he didn't push me away

"it's not true Gulf, I swear there is nothing between me and Jake, we met by coincidence and he recommended to go to his shop, it's true we chose coats together but I thought it's normal, I already do that with all my friends choosing things together, and he was joking around with the clerk about being boyfriends just wanting to see her excited, we then went eating lunch and talked about random things that's all, honestly, I accepted to go around with him because he is your cousin and thought it's better to be friends with him" I explained still hugging him

"there is nothing between you two?"

"absolutely nothing, I will never hide anything from you Gulf" I felt him calming down so I held him by the shoulders making him look at me, I wiped away his tears then patted on his head

"next time tell me if you are changing your plans"

"I will, please don't jump to conclusions, make sure to ask me first" he nodded looking away, I could tell he was feeling relieved

"you know, you should just have called out to me if you noticed me or you wanted to hang around alone with your new friend" I squinted my eyes crossing my hands to my chest

" I was afraid that you may misunderstand if you saw me with her" he looked down

"her? A girl?"

"yes, the one who was supposed to be my fiancée" since when did they become close to go out together like this? Why would I misunderstand? Wait I actually would if I saw him with a beautiful girl walking alone together.... I should be happy if he finds someone else but why do I feel irritated instead? I didn't notice that I was silent until Gulf called out to me

"then it was a good thing that you two met, quickly becoming friends and all, maybe you will truly end up together" I tried to hide my irked voice and showed him a fake smile but he saw through me straight away

"doctor? Are you jealous by chance?" he asked out of the blue making me tongue-tied for a while

"why would I? I would be happy if you are happy with her!" I looked away stuttering, why am I feeling like this? I know that I just lied right now, I don't even know why I did it. Gulf who knew that I lied leaned closer as his face was a few inches away from mine staring at me, I could see him smile from the corner of my eye

"seeing you like this makes me overjoyed, whether you are jealous or not just the fact that you care about me feels amazing" he suddenly wrapped his hands around me, I felt a little embarrassed, for the first time, especially when I felt his heart beats that sounded a little faster.

"doctor, can I kiss you?" he suddenly asked making me glance to him, he looked flustered with roses cheeks but also was serious, the deep look in his eyes made me look away feeling shy

"why?"

"because I love you and right now you look so cute, the urge to kiss you is unstoppable, please, I know I'm being greedy and stupid but I can't help it" he held me tighter and there was no space between our bodies, only our faces were inches away, I never got this close to him and it's the first time I'm feeling timid

"if you don't push me away now I'm going to do it" he almost whispered next to my ear as I shivered feeling his breath, I even felt butterflies in my stomach, I should push him away, letting him kiss me would only make him more hopeful, my mind is telling me to do it but my body is stiff and won't do it, Gulf gently took my chin making me look at him, I felt his thumb brushing my lips, his eyes were shinning and warm gazing into me while I was like a wooden plank, I felt like I was a prisoner in my own body unable to move an inch as I kept watching Gulf moving.

He leaned slowly closer and closer closing the gap between our faces, the moment I felt smth on my lips my eyes shut tightly, I felt a soft plump delicate skin on my lips, my heart was beating faster, my hands was holding Gulf's shirt on his chest as I felt the boy's hands travel down to my waist pulling me even closer deepening the kiss.

At first it was so slow but soon became smooth, my mind was ordering me to stop and step back but something in my heart held me back from stopping and I stood there with confused feelings while Gulf parted for a moment then kissed me again, I should feel disgusted or scared or anything but no, I only felt warmth, tenderness and a very sweet feeling each time our lips touched, a feeling that encouraged me to let him kiss me as many times as he wants.

I felt our lips part away again, I kept sensing his breathing close to me while our noses touched slightly then I found myself being embraced feeling his right cheek being stuck to my left cheek, I slowly opened my eyes still not believing what just happened, I stared ahead while my heart was still beating quickly

"thank you doctor, it's so sweet and I feel like I'm flying right now, I will never forget this sensation"

"stupid"

"I know, I became a foul since I fell for you, I can't control myself when it comes to you, you know this was actually my first kiss... even when I dated before, I didn't have the urge to kiss anyone but with you I'd love to keep doing it all day long" he stated sounding so happy

"mi-mine too" I stuttered as he made me look at me holding me by my shoulders

"it was your first kiss too?" I slightly nodded feeling embarrassed

"I must be the luckiest person on earth right now!!!" he exclaimed with stars in his eyes

"this time is an exception because I made you cry" I said looking away

"thank you"

"don't do it again"

"sorry, I can't promise"

"idiot" he giggled while I was pouting looking away

"your pouting face is cute" he said starring as I turned away

"I don't want to be called cute, now go away I still have work to do"

"I will go take a bath and start making dinner" I sat on the chair looking to the computer trying to calm myself but he quickly leaned kissing my cheek then ran out of the room, I couldn't even be angry at him, I sat there being all embarrassed unable to concentrate at all.

Just what did he do to me?!
