Chapter 26

Sanem got up the next morning early, she was in the main house making breakfast, when she feels Can behind her. She turns and smiles, shyly, she loves when he sneaks up behind her. He puts his arms around her waist to the front and brings her close to him.

CAN: " good morning, my beautiful princess. Did you sleep well?"

SANEM: " I did my hunky prince." And she started giggling. He kisses her on her cheek.  Breakfast is ready, go sit and I will bring it to you.

CAN: " I'll help you, sweetheart"they took everything to the table and everyone gathered around and had breakfast together.  Everyone was happy to see Can and Sanem, smiling and happy.  Everyone was leaving for work. And Can stayed behind to help Sanem.

SANEM: " Can, you don't have to help, you can go to work, I will see you later."

CAN: " aren't you coming to the agency today?"

SANEM: " I am, I have a class today, and I'm meeting my professor after class at the park, he has a list of publishers for me"

CAN: " and he can't give it to you in class, he has to meet you at park?"

SANEM: Can, please, he's harmless, he's just a friend okay, I'm fine don't worry, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself."

CAN: "Sanem, he wants you, I'm telling you, and he doesn't care about us" Sanem was getting angry. Miriban and Aziz were heading out the door when they heard them getting heated.

SANEM: " Can, I know what I'm doing. I'm not stupid, I had guy friends all my life. Ahan was the only girl

That was my best friend and maybe a few others."Can was surprised.

CAN: " really, you had a lot of guy friends? How come.?

SANEM:" Well, (she laughs) I was quite the tomboy, I always played better with the boys, sports , climbing, you know stuff like that. Girls were always more dramatic and I hate drama. Never wore dresses, or played with dolls. Like I said a tomboy. And even when I tried to play with the girls they ignored me, only a few were nice to me, plus I was very clumsy and the girls always made fun of me, but the guys were always nice and helped me when I fell or got hurt, and then they would just ignore what happened, and I guess that's why I was more with the guys than the girls."

Can can't help but love her more. She's the sweetest thing.

CAN: " You know what I think, I think the girls were jealous of you, because you were always sweet and beautiful" and he kisses her. Sanem is melting, he always knows what to say.

Miriban and Aziz are so happy to see them getting along. Sanem smiles at Can and says.

SANEM: " okay, you got your brownie points for today Can, go to work and I will see you later."

CAN: " do I have a choice? SANEM: "no" scratching his beard.

CAN: "okay, but I will pick you up after at the park . Deal?

SANEM: " Deal!" He grabbed her pulled her in for a kiss, and smelled her neck again and kisses it.

CAN: " bebek you smell so good. I can kiss you and smell you all day."

SANEM: " I made it, it's my grandmothers recipe."

CAN: " well, then this sent belongs to me, my love."

She leans into him and rubs her face into his neck.

SANEM: I miss this Can. I miss cuddling with you.?

CAN: " Bebek, I miss it too, but right now I'm getting really hard and I have to back away, we will continue this tonight." She looks down, and she can see what she did through those tight jeans of his. And she starts giggling. " You like to make me suffer, don't you.?"

She smiles and kisses him, and says " sometimes you deserve it! Now go and I will see you later.

Can went to work and Sanem got ready to go to her class.

KEREM: " hello Sanem, you look much better today."

SANEM: " hello, yes I am." She went and sat in her seat. She looked to happy to him. They probably got back together. Kerem wasn't happy. He wants her.

Divit doesn't deserve her. Don't worry Sanem, I will take care of you.

Sanem was in her happy place, she loves to learn and she loves her class, she has no clue how Kerem feels about her.

Kerem always separates her from the rest of the class and she doesn't like it. Every time there's class he has to compliment her on something, and she's starting to get irritated. "I will talk to him after class when we meet, this has to stop, the other students are going to hate me. He acts like I'm his favorite."

Can was at work in a meeting with his father and Emre.

AZIZ: "okay boys, everything went well with the shoot, the customers are happy. But I think Arzu left disappointed Can" and they start laughing.

CAN: "Sanem let her have it good. She is a spitfire, that's for sure."

EMRE: "I have to say, she is funny when she gets angry. I love the way she made Arzu say please. I can bet that Arzu, never says please."

CAN: " I agree brother, she was so annoying, I'm glad Sanem didn't get mad at me. That's all I was worried about. But we're good now."

AZIZ: "that's good to hear son. So listen boys, I think next week Miriban and I are going to take a vacation, since you're back Can, this way Emre doesn't have to deal with everything himself, Can your the creative side and Emre the financial side."

CAN: "Sounds good baba, how long will you be gone?"

AZIZ: "maybe a month, that's about it."

CAN: okay, when you get back, I want to go to Sanem's aunt and uncle to ask for her hand."

Aziz and Emre were very happy, they got up and hugged him.

AZIZ: " son you don't know how happy I am right now!! Emre I expect the same from you too!!"

EMRE: " Maybe soon, but we're still getting to know each other."

AZIZ: okay Emre, but you have to admit she's a beauty. And a great person."

EMRE: "that's she is baba." Emre is smiling.

AZIZ: oh, and by the way, compass is back again, they have a whole new line of products and they need a slogan. They will contact us soon to set a meeting up."

The boys agreed. And went back to work.

Sanem had just finished class and went across the street to wait for Kerem.

KEREM; " hi Sanem, should I get coffee, tea, are you hungry?"

SANEM: " no I'm fine, thank you!" She turns to look at him and he notices that she seems serious.

KEREM: Sanem, is everything okay?"

SANEM: " Yes, but one thing is bothering me I don't like the way you separate me in front of the whole class. It's not right it is not fair to the other students. I don't like that you play favorites."

KEREM; " I'm sorry Sanem, but you are the most talented in my class. I didn't do it on purpose towards the other students. I'm sorry it won't happen again."

SANEM: " that's all I ask that you treat everybody the same."

They went over the publishers she seemed excited, Kerem loved the way she expressed herself when she's happy.

KEREM: " Sanem, you seem much happier than the last time I saw you. I gather everything is OK."

SANEM: yes, everything is perfect. Can and I are doing well."

KEREM: "Sanem, you two are like night and Day. I just can't picture the two of you together. I think you could do much better. You know he's quite the playboy he's known to have been with a lot of women I think you deserve better than him."

SANEM: " don't believe everything you see or read, Kerem. Can is perfect for me we have a lot in common more than you think."

KEREM: " how can someone be perfect for you when they cheat on you?" you saw those pictures you can tell that he wants her. I'm telling you he's not for you." He's starting to get irritated, And so is she.

SANEM: " excuse me he was set up and I trust him and this is none of your business. This topic is closed to you. You have no right to talk to me about him. You are just my professor and I thought a friend, but that might have to change." He knew he was out of line.

KEREM: " I'm sorry I just care about you. I don't wanna see you hurt. I just feel that you can do much better."

SANEM: " like who Kerem you? Is that what you're thinking?" Bullseye! She can't believe it, Can was right he is interested in me.

KEREM: " Sanem, I'm not going to lie, I care a lot about you, I think I have feelings for you. I can't help it." Sanem was getting very uncomfortable with this conversation

SANEM: " I think we're done here and I think from now on my class will be online. It won't be in class."

KEREM: " Sanem, don't you see what kind of man he is he's using you. He's a player he cheats on you and you forgive him. I can't believe you. Tell me does she still call him and want to talk to him of course she does."

Sanem looked at him and got up to leave, he grabs her hands and pulls her close.

SANEM: " let me go. I'm leaving. I never wanna see you again."

KEREM: " Sanem, please listen to me, I want you, he doesn't deserve you.!" He tries to bring her close and she's struggling to push him away. All of a sudden he's pulled away from Sanem, and punched in the face.

CAN: " don't you ever come near her again!! Do understand!! Because you will be sorry, next time it won't be just a punch in the face!!" Kerem was in shock. He just sat there on the ground looking at Can with hatred.

Can grabs Sanem's hand and starts walking towards car, Can is so angry. And Sanem can see it, I need to calm him down. She pulls on his hand to stop. She looks at him and she can see the anger. She grabs his face and scratches his beard, and kisses him.

SANEM: "Can, my love, it's okay. I'm ok, just relax."

CAN: "Sanem, I heard what he said to you, who the hell does he think he is, trying to manipulate you into hating me!! And then when he grabbed you I lost it, I couldn't control myself. He's lucky that's all he got.!!"

SANEM: " Can, I love you so much, I feel like I have my own personal bodyguard, and damn he's tall dark and the most handsome man I ever laid eyes on!!" And to top it off he's the hottest photographer out there. And he's mine!!" She's rubbing his arms up and down and smiling sweetly at him, trying to calm him.

He's starts smiling a little, she always has a way of calming him. He grabs her and pulls her close."

CAN: " bebek I don't know how you do it, but you make me melt, I would do anything for you."

SANEM: "And I for you my hunky lover!! Come let's get back to the agency, and forget what happened. Okay?" He kissed her hard, and squeezed her in a bear hug, and walked back to the car and they left.

Kerem was looking at them, it's not over Sanem. I have to have you. One way or another I will!!"
