POV MEW

All charges of Botox poisoning ,have finally been dropped thanks to the collaboration of Din, the head of the inspection. He got to the bottom of it, as soon as Boum called him to testify. Din was already suspicious of something, since he also noticed the strange movement of his man and, after checking in his locker, had found among his things the bottle. He confronted him and the latter confessed that he had acted out of too much love for his woman. But while he entertained his Chief and the police, who in the meantime had been called by Din himself, Cantalupe fled to save himself. Nat's last gesture of love towards a woman who left him behind, to pay for both the price of their crime.
Now that the judge has sentenced them both to two years in prison, in the end only he will serve them because she seems to have disappeared into thin air.
Today we finally reopen, so I'll go around to see if everything is okay.
-Boss! Good morning.. -- New tells me followed soon after by Jay and Sammy.
-- Good morning guys.. I recommend that everything run smoothly today-- I recommend him before heading to the kitchen.
- Yes, sir! - Sammy answers.
I'm going to the kitchen where Krist ,Eart and Mix are already at work.
-- Boss ! Don't worry, we've got it covered! -- Krist tells me.
- All right. But I had no doubt, guys I wanted to thank you for having been patient these days! I know you were worried.. - I tell him.
-Chief like you have faith in all of us, we have in you, we knew you could get us out of trouble, we reloaded and now we are ready and operational. -- concludes Krist.

--Ok I'll leave you to your work then.. Has anyone seen Gulf? -I ask calmly.
This morning I woke up alone and after reading his message, left on the pillow with sunflower on his side, we felt for a moment on the phone, but now I do not know if he is already at work.

-Yes, Chief, he's at the bakery. -That's Earth.
I greet them and I head there with the hope of finding him alone, because I have not yet received my good morning kiss. We loved each other and cuddled in the middle of the night, then fell exhausted in each other's arms. But as I predicted this morning, I was already alone.
When I got there I saw him kneading a mixture with a whisk while he had his back to me.
- Good morning. - I say while he gasps for surprise.
--Ouch! Mew.. -he whispers, looking at me for a moment ,as I approach and hug him from behind, leaning my chin on his shoulder.
- Thank you for the sunflower. - I say to him by kissing him on the cheek.
--Mew! Someone might come in! -- he says blushing as he pushes me away.

- Gulf, I have not yet received my good morning! - I ask him with a glint in my eyes. I approach him and, placing a hand on his back, I try to catch his lips.

--Mew stop it! Bright could come in any minute. -- he concludes, turning around and resting his hands on my chest to push me away.

-Okay, I get it, I'm leaving ! -- I'm smiling -- but please ,come to my office later? -I'll ask him before I go.

-- I come as soon as I have a moment. -It confirms me blushing, which drives me crazy.

This way that his body reacts immediately every time he is embarrassed, makes me go out of my mind by the emotion, makes me understand in fact that he wants me as I want him. I don't need to hear 'I love you' to describe our relationship , when our bodies react on their own, there are no words that hold!
I lean against the door jamb, stopping to watch him work, while he gives me his back and I can not stop to bear to the sight of his body. The way he bends to pick things up and move to mix what's in his bowl.
'How God would I take it now, here and now! ' I think by putting a hand on my face.

--Are you going to stay and spy on me for much longer? -- he says with a smile.
-- Yes, if I could do that! -- I answer --but luckily for you I have work to do in the office so, see me later! - I ask him to leave.

POV OF CANTALUPE

--Damn it! Stupid Nat couldn't even pull off such a simple plan! - I scream in the bathroom mirror, while cursing the situation.

I'm being hunted by the police ,so I have to be very careful with every move I make outside this room.

Room that I had to take in a shabby B&B with a fake name, since the whole city is looking for me, and that's why I also had to change my appearance. Now I only wear loose suits and sweatshirts and I dyed my hair red.

'But now I'm tired of hiding Gulf and his new toy will pay for what they did to me! And this time I'll do it with my own hands!

I have a new plan to hit them, when they least expect it and in order to put it into action, I just have to wait for tonight! As soon as Gulf leaves the restaurant, I'll have ten minutes to hit him with my Ruger. It's the weapon I stole from my father years ago when I ran away from home.

I prepare for the stakeout with my midnight blue jumpsuit , hair tied by a tail and a cap on my head and I head towards the 'Sparviero'. What a name for a restaurant!

POV GULF

I tried to cut out five minutes to keep my promise to go to him this morning, but in the end I couldn't do it.

Now that we're almost done with work, Mew called me into the office through Sammy, and I know why. You must be angry ,e molto, since I haven't seen you since last night, if we put aside the conversation in the bakery this morning.

- -Gulf! Go to him , here I finish and don't worry that I will clean everything carefully. -asks Bright.

- All right, thank you. - I say on my way to the office.

--Hello Gulf! we go.. Do you want us to wait for you? -- asks me Sammy.

-Sammy ,no thanks . Mew has summoned me to the office, and I think it's a long time, go see you tomorrow. -- I will conclude by greeting all the others and heading towards the study.

As soon as I get there ,I find him with Tul chatting and whispering something to each other and consequently I didn't understand what they were saying, but from the expression of his face it was something that worried him.

--Mew? .. -I call him and he after getting up beckons Tul to go.

--Ok .. See you tomorrow then.. Good night guys, I'm going! -- he says.

-- Is there a problem? -- I ask him to approach him who had, in the meantime, leaned against his desk.

--Indeed yes! -- He tells me grabbing me from life and drawing me into his arms --I am still waiting for my good morning kiss! - he tells me by grabbing my neck and finally taking his kiss.

I admit it ,I missed its taste and its mouth that dominates mine, so I let myself be carried away by his kisses, until we realize that we were going to go further . This is not exactly wise since not everyone from there has left, so I move away a little from his tempting mouth and look straight into his eyes brushing his nose with mine.

--Are you staying over? -- You're biting your lip.

--Mew I'd love to but for this evening it's better if I come back to myself, I don't even have a change for tomorrow! -- I say with regret, as I caress his cheek with my hand.

--Hi! You could wear mine! -- She snaps as she approaches to steal another kiss from me that even I can't resist.

Mew deepens the kiss and , as he turns, he makes me sit on his desk ,sliding to kiss my neck and open my shirt. Her teeth bite me and then caress me with their tongue, leaving the obvious red mark on my neck.

A noise outside the door makes me freeze ,I push him away and coming down from the desk I pull myself together, frightened by the fear of being seen.

--Gulf? -He calls me slightly confused, passing a little frustrated, his hand in his hair.

--Mew there is someone .. I don't want to give show! -- I say while I get closer, I touch his face with a hand ,where a finger stops on his lips -- God knows how much I would like to stay here to continue what we started ,but for tonight I'm going to sleep in my apartment. -- I tell him by giving him a kiss that, it seems, just wants to be a prelude to the next time I stay at his place to sleep -- I promise that I will stop to sleep at yours next time and that you will ask me and that this time you will find me there when you wake up! -- I conclude by releasing myself from his embrace as I smile at his pout.

- Okay, but I want to drive you to your apartment. - He asks me as we went out where we find Max leaving.

--Mew ,come back! I'll take Gulf home if you want. -- he asks me and therefore refuses to follow us for tonight .

--Okay. Gulf ,Max be careful -- asks us as he greets us and heads towards his Cottege.

POV MEW

I'm not very happy to let him go on his own, even though there's Max and the guy that Boum hired to protect Gulf, I still feel restless for some reason.
But I promised Tul I'd give Gulf more room so he wouldn't choke him, and he's right, given his past.

As soon as I turn the corner three gunshots make me freeze on the spot for a moment, and then run to Gulf and Max with the terror on him, to have lost him.

-Gulf! Max! -I scream ,running towards them both lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

I immediately call for help and as soon as the call closes I try to understand the condition of both, while I no longer control my tears that come down fogging my eyes.

As I try to regain control, I notice a third body lying on the ground on the opposite side, where a man I don't know approached to control it.

Gulf was injured above the shoulder and Max, instead, on the abdomen both breathed but their beats were very slow due to too much blood lost. I take my scarf and put it on Max's wound, trying to cover it up, which seemed the most serious.

--Mew, leave it to me.. Take care of Gulf! -- the stranger tells me. - I'm sorry I wasn't fast, it's my fault I turned my eyes down! I'm Zee ,Boum asked me to keep an eye on Gulf, but I failed. -- he tells me disconsolate while I left Max in his care ,I run to Gulf.

- Now let us think of them, there is no need to blame them. -I say while I hold with my hand on the wound of Gulf, to try to block also its bleeding
Gulf meanwhile began to complain weakly.
-Gulf, you'll be fine.. - - I whisper in his ear.

Rescue arrived ten minutes later , charging both of them and rushing to the hospital.

Tul, who arrived a few minutes before the ambulance , took care of Max together with Zee , with a thousand heart , while I of Gulf . Both concentrated but, at the same time, frightened for the fear of losing them.

In the ambulance Gulf woke up, and then lost his senses again, while I continued to pray that everything was fine.

--Gulf! stay with me.. -- I whisper in his ear.

Now that Gulf is in the hands of the doctors I can give vent again to my fear of losing him, crying silently .
I kept holding his hand and whispering to him how much I love him until I got to the hospital, where they took them both to the O.R., while Tul and I stayed in the waiting room.

POV OF TUL

--Mew .. I'm afraid to lose him! -- I burst into tears while the only hypothesis flashes in my brain.

--Tul.. Max is strong! Tul will make it, Max and Gulf will get out of that room safe and sound! -- he tells me, but he seems to say it more to himself, trying to convince himself of it.

-During the ambulance trip he had a cardiac arrest and for a moment I feared I had lost him! It was the moment I realized that I love him, that I couldn't live without him-I confided in him while I took my head in my hands --I can't think of living without him Mew, I didn't even tell him! -- collapse while crying.

--Tul, you will have the opportunity to tell him, I am sure, we must have faith that everything will be fine. - Mew tells me hugging me.

--Forgive me, Mew, I'm here to talk to you about my fears, and you're struggling with your fears and everything for Gulf.. You're right, they are both strong men, they will manage to get out of this battle!. - - I say by patting him on the shoulder.

Three, endless , hours after the door of the operating room opens ,and with fatigued air the two doctors who operated Max and Gulf come out.

- Hello, gentlemen, it's Dr. Kumpol, I took care of Mr Kanawut, while at my side Dr Nut operated on Mr Nattapol.

--Doctor how are they? -- I ask Dr Nut concerned.

- Then Mr Nattapol had a cardiac arrest on the journey here and this weakened him, as did the bleeding. He was in very critical condition, but we were able to stabilize him and extrapolate the bullet that hit his abdomen, causing another internal hemorrhage, which we stabilized. Even if it has not affected vital organs, the patient is in a reserved prognosis, where we will keep it for a few days.. He's not dying right now, but his condition isn't stable yet. We can only wait a few days to see how he reacts. -- concludes Dr Nut.

Why does this seem like a nightmare to me? Max came to Bangkok for me and now he finds himself fighting between life and death because of a madwoman. I have stored all the information said by the surgeon and I feel like a fool, because I have tried, to keep away from him , these days ,for all the conflicting emotions that it causes me, but now that I risk losing him ,I call myself an idiot. I pray to God that He will give me the opportunity to live the story with Him without ever backing down , as I have done so far, to give me the chance to love Him as He deserves.

Cantalupe can no longer harm anyone because Gulf was being watched and even though Zee, he couldn't stop the attack ,he finally hit that woman ,killing her.

--Thank you. -I can only say as I turn to Mew.

I see him bleaching ,he's scared to ask about Gulf.So far he's been positive about the situation ,but he's going to collapse at any moment.

-- Gulf ? as is ,Gulf? - I ask in his place, putting an arm on his shoulders ,trying to comfort him as he did with me.

-Well. Mr Kanawut .. -- Dr Nut replies by looking at his colleague for confirmation.

**************************************************************************

Gulf what? you may be wondering! Suspince!!

When I said that Max was fundamental to the story it was for this, but you'll understand better in the next chapter! Thanks to all of you sweethearts who have helped me with their messages of encouragement in these two days, you have been very nice.
