POV GULF

Running away. That's all I could do with Mew last night.. I'm confused and worried ,I shouldn't have underestimated the night we slept together. I'm not a one-night stand person ,I hang out with them for months ,I usually know them and I only sleep with them if I really like them but I run away whenever things get serious. With Mew I burned all , but just all the stages and this terrifies me. Our story exploded before I even knew who we were, and I'm gonna end up hurting myself.. And the worst part is, I'm gonna end up hurting Mew.

I get up and get ready even if it's only six o'clock. I still can't rest any longer. I hope I can hide my upset from Bright because the last thing I want this morning is a third degree from him.

I take the keys of the apartment and I walk to the club that is only a few blocks from my house, a little fresh air can only be good for me. I stop near the entrance to contemplate the dawn that has been rising for an hour but it is still a spectacle .

--Gulf! - it's 'Mew', turning in the direction I was called, I see it.. She was in a sports outfit with a water bottle in her hand and Tul also appears in the same attire at her side. I think they went for a run together . -- Good morning.. -- he says, checking me out and then drinking some water.
Something that kept me glued the look on his neck while every drop of water swallowed makes me goose bumps and even worse brings to mind fragments of that night when I kissed him that beautiful neck that is found.

I know what you're trying to do, you want to provoke me and try to drive me crazy, you're playing dirty, knowing that I didn't forget that night after having sex and getting out of bed to go drinking and provoking me and the result was a second round that exhausted us.

-Good morning. -I greet them as soon as Tul clears his throat and puts his arm on his shoulder and asks him to go for breakfast.

-- yes ,let's go ,but before we go to Cottege I have to take a shower.. -- he says -- Gulf tonight compiles a list of the things you miss ,tomorrow is shopping day.. do you already have in mind today's dessert? -- asks me in a quiet tone , before going.

-Yes.. Do you want to try it? -- I ask him to refer back without thinking that it could sound like another invitation, Tul in fact unwittingly spits out the water he was drinking and apologizing begins to head to the Cottege alone. I turn embarrassed towards a smiling Mew, and that smile warms my heart. 'I love that smile .. Gulf! Stop it! I warn myself mentally.

--Gulf .. you know I don't like sweets .. but for you I could also change -- he tells me by winking at me and then disappearing towards his Cottege.

I leave behind this exchange of jokes , since I have again embarrassed myself, and I enter the room . Obviously, being very early, no one had yet arrived . I'm heading over to the bakery and I'm starting to get a sense of what I need for my dessert today.. A dark chocolate mousse accompanied by a berry cream, which reflects my current state. Bitterness.

POV MAX

-Good morning.. -I greet them as soon as Tul clears his throat and puts down his

I arrive much earlier than usual because I would like to talk to the boss about my relationship ,or pseudo-relationship , with Tul. He persists in avoiding me so much that I was forced to follow him here to clarify with him. Mew realized something was going on, and I think that's why he hired me, and I'm also sure that knowing Tul didn't even tell him that he knows me. And also very well I would say ... I enter the living room but I see everything turned off as also in the office the lights are off, a sign that I must be the first to arrive.

I sit waiting for Mew to arrive, it makes no sense to start and then go back inside dirt and while I grab the phone a noise attracts my attention, it seems that in the pastry shop someone is already at work .

I then head to the only place in the restaurant where there is life , at least I will be able to talk to someone since I practically worked alone yesterday.

--Permission. -I ask by knocking while a brown head comes out from one side of the table.

--Come in, you're... right Max? -- He asks hesitantly.

-Yes.. I'm the new gardener. Although I am willing to do anything, I like manual work -- I tell him by sitting on a stool at the entrance since I do not want to disturb him while he works. He's a very nice guy in his looks and manners, and anyone would be dazzled by him. -- You're Gulf! How sweet are you today? - I ask him while I am intrigued to look around sitting.

--I think I'll make a chocolate mouse then.. let's see what else I have in the pantry and from there suddenly -- he tells me as he starts tinkering. -- why are you already here? your shift doesn't start with the others? -- he asks me.

--I could ask you the same thing!? - I tell him smiling and he also returns -- I have to talk to the boss first. -- I trust him.

---Good morning everyone.. -- Bright says entering. -Mew and Tul have just arrived! if you have to talk to the boss it is convenient to you now because then I don't know if you can do it. I felt that they have an intense morning.. -- Bright concludes as he strips down and puts on his apron.

-Okay thanks ...good job guys-I say while I get up to let them work.

--Max we'll have breakfast not to disappear --mi dice Gulf -- and if you need something you don't have to ask.. - He tells me and I nod in agreement going away.

I leave the bakery and I enter the room where I find all of them I greet them and ask Mew to be able to talk to them in private with Tul's attentive gaze on me , so I follow him in his study.

POV OF MEW

--Come in. I'm sorry for yesterday but I had an unexpected moment and I couldn't explain your work to you. Did Tul explain what you're going to do? -- asks me while we sit.

--Tul doesn't know what courtesy means lately so no.. he didn't explain himself ! -- I let slip -- forgive me... I know you're friends and that's why I asked you to speak in private. I think I need to be honest with you right now.. Tul and I dated until he decided to break up our relationship like this from now to tomorrow without giving me a chance to replicate.. He just packed his bags and came here. -He confesses and this is familiar to me. Gulf was doing the same thing to me.

--I think I understand how you feel -- I tell him smiling -- Tul I think he took the leap when I asked him for help with the restaurant.. How can I help you? -- I ask him. At least one of us can still be happy.

--Actually, I just wanted to let you know, because it might happen that we're gonna fight and I didn't want to keep you in the dark by creating misunderstandings.. -- he tells me honestly.

--I appreciate it .. really.. now I understand why Tul didn't want you to work here, even though I sensed something.. Fortunately, I'm the boss here and not him! - - I say --Is there anything else you want to tell me? -- I ask him since he's still sitting here.

-- your bond.. how much do I have to worry? -- asks me slightly annoyed --I'll be frank again .. Tul belongs to me and even if at the moment he denies it among us there is more than he thinks .. -he tells me decided.

--Max. Tul and I have no sentimental connection, he's like a brother to me, you don't have to worry about my relationship with him. Besides, I'm already messed up on my own for specific purposes about someone who's been giving me a hard time since the very beginning of our acquaintance.. I don't need any more unfounded drama. -I tell him.

- All right. Thank you for the chat and for the frankness. Needless to say, the things said here will remain among us .. And to be frank until the end I want to wish you luck with Gulf is a chocolate that would make anyone's head spin.. - he tells me by closing the door behind me without giving me a chance to fight back.

I don't know if it bothered me more to hear Gulf being called chocolate or the fact that his seemed like a very explicit appreciation; in any case I was annoyed by the thing.

The day passed in peace and even the evening , the service was very efficient and also the level of coordination, finally it seemed that everyone was well organized in specific roles thanks to the good management of Tul in the room.
Krist was quiet with the addition of Saint in the kitchen and Bright worked well with Gulf, too much for my taste.
I often caught them jerking at each other in breaks and once again Bright surrounded his shoulders trying to block him.

Obviously this leads me to be nervous because I can not see certain attitudes, knowing that with me does not even want to talk at times. My hands itch from the desire that I have to grab it and hold it to me but I promised to give it some time and that's what I will do.

--Mew .. Are you still in the office? -- Tul asks me, entering and sitting next to me at the desk. I look at the paperwork on the table and sigh to see that I have some backlog. -Do you want a hand with these? -- he asks me hopefully ,something tells me he doesn't want to leave.

--No.. I can do it myself.. -I tell him smiling because I think I know what the problem is .. I know who... -- Thu.. I strongly advise you to settle with Max .. I would not want to be in a position to have to divide you from a fistfight .. -- I say smiling.

---Fistfight? -- he tells me starting to hit me in a joyful way -- is that .. that I give you .. if you don't stop teasing me.. -- he tells me to hit me and I to make him stop I grab his wrists laughing.

--Excuse me if I disturb you.. -- says on the door a rather angry voice -- this is the list you asked me this morning. -- Gulf tells me by throwing the notepad -- continue, too, I'll remove the trouble. - - ends by rushing out of my office.

'Look at this.. Little Gulf is jealous of me and Tul.. That's good to know. 'That's in my head.

--Mew .. that you do here calm. follow him! do not allow there to be misunderstandings! -- asks me Tul.

--Forget it.. things are a little complicated right now.. Gulf thinking what he wants.. - - I tell him back to work -- and you better go. Hurry ! - I ask him and he goes away ..

I don't know how many minutes I've been working on these documents ,what I know and that I look up and I realize that it's really late so I close everything and head towards my Cottege.

I was about to leave the club when I realized that someone did not close the lights of the veranda that as always is forgotten . I am very tired but I have to close it ,I do not want waste and a light on all night is a waste. As soon as I arrived on the veranda I realized that it had not been forgotten .

--Gulf what are you still doing here? -- I ask him as I approach but not too much. I don't want to break the promise I made him so I stand on the balustrade in front of him without sitting on the sofa keeping my distance.

--I needed to think.. -- he says to me in a whisper looking straight into my eyes, eyes that looked shiny. Next to him on the sofa in fact there was a glass with a red liquid..

--Mmm I understand .. May I ask if you've come to a conclusion ? -I ask him also me me while his look continues undaunted to stare intensely at me.

-- No..! -- he says looking away and drinking the last drop of wine -- but maybe it's better this way.. I think it's time for me to go home.. I could speak out of turn and I don't have the right. -- He tells me by getting up and wearing his jacket.

--Gulf! between me and Tul there is nothing.. -- I tell him even if I don't even know why I have to justify myself with him.

--That's not what I saw just now.. -- He sentences me with a veil of sadness. One step too fast, he gets dizzy, so I grab him, but we fall. Or rather Gulf literally faints on me and not being able to support it, given the speed of the movement, we now find ourselves both lying on the sofa with Gulf breathing on my neck.

I close my eyes for a moment, beandomi for a moment of the contact of his body against mine and his perfume. I broke a promise, but right now I can't help but take advantage of his recklessness by holding him in my arms for a while.
