Chapter 9

The next morning, Sanem woke up sleeping in Can's arms. He looked so handsome sleeping. She can stay in his arms like this all day. Through the night Can would wake up to make sure Sanem was ok. It felt so nice to have her next him holding her all night, she looked so beautiful sleeping.

Sanem decided to get up and make breakfast, even though she loved waking up like this, she knew it was wrong, because he has a girlfriend. She doesn't want to be the other woman. But she definitely is feeling something for him. I have to make myself look the other way , just friends Sanem. Who are you kidding Sanem, This man is every woman's dream.

Sanem was in the kitchen making pancakes, when she heard Can behind her.

CAN: " good morning Sanem, how are you feeling this morning?" She turns around to look at him. And he grabs her face. " Sanem, you really have a shiner on your face, does it hurt"

SANEM: " does it look like I was in a fight, I wonder how the other guy looks." And she starts giggling.

"Can I'm fine, really don't worry."

CAN: "did you sleep well?"

SANEM: "very well, no bad dreams only good ones.

And you, did you sleep well?" He smiled.

CAN: "very, the best sleep I had in a long time."

They just stared at each other for a couple of seconds. And then they hear the door open, and in comes Aziz, Miriban and Emre.

MIRIBAN : good morning Can?, what are you doing here, I thought you were on an assignment."

CAN: " I was it got cancelled. I'm going back In a couple of weeks"

AZIZ: "well it's good to have you home." Emre just stared at Sanem, he recognized her from the club that night.

EMRE: " I remember you, I'm Emre by the way, Can's brother."

SANEM: " hi Emre nice to see you again Sanem."

Emre seemed confused, but Miriban explained to him that she is working for her and living in the pool house.

MIRIBAN : Sanem, what happened to you, you have a black eye."

SANEM: " let's sit down and have breakfast and Can and I will explain everything to you."

AZIZ: " Sanem, this all stemmed back from the club you worked at?

SANEM : yes, Aziz bey , but thank god Can was there both times, I got very lucky."

Miriban is smiling and happy to see these two together, there is definitely some feelings between them. They will figure it out, I'm sure.

EMRE: "Sanem, these pancakes are the best I ever had, I hope you will be making breakfast everyday."

MIRIBAN: " hey, are you saying my pancakes aren't any good "and she winks at Sanem.

EMRE: " no Annem, no one makes them like you, maybe you can switch one day you one day Sanem,"they all started laughing, Can grabbed Emre's head and started playing around with him.

AZIZ:  Emre, I noticed it's been really busy for you at work, and you're having a hard time catching up. Maybe we will hire an assistant for you, what do you think, someone with an accounting degree."

EMRE: " actually dad I was thinking the same thing.  Maybe we should start interviewing."

SANEM: " Aziz bey, my sister is an accountant, she's working in Izmir now, but she wants to come back to Istanbul. Do you think maybe she can come for an interview? And you only hire her if you think she's capable for the job."

MIRIBAN: " Aziz, I think that's a great idea, don't you think?"

AZIZ: " absolutely!! Emre, what do you think, should we call her in for an interview, maybe on Friday, this way she can spend the weekend with Sanem."

EMRE: " yes, sounds good to me, you said she graduated, she's an account?

SANEM: " Actually, she's a CPA, she's very organized and very efficient, and very good with numbers. She was top of her class in high school and in college"

EMRE: " okay, call  her and see if she can make it Friday for an interview. I'd be happy to meet with her."

Sanem was so excited, she couldn't wait to call Leyla and tell her. Miriban and Aziz were glowing, so far everything is working out perfectly. After she cleaned up she went back to the pool house to call her.

SANEM: "Leyla, how would like to have an interview this Friday, with Aziz bey and Emre Bey, Emre is looking for an assistant in the finance department."

LEYLA: "are you serious, of course, I will come Thursday night, oh Sanem I'm so excited, I hope it works out. Then we can be together."

The girls were so excited they couldn't wait to see each other.

SANEM: " honestly I think that you will be fine, you're good at what you do, and Emre bey, is very nice, and good looking. I think you're going to like him. The whole family is nice."

LEYLA: " ok, I'm going to pack, see you Thursday night, I'm taking the last flight out. Send me your address and I'll take a taxi."

SANEM: " okay see you Thursday night, and Leyla, your going to be great" they hung up, Sanem couldn't stop smiling. She put her shorts on and tank top and went out to clean the pool.

She put her head phones in and she was cleaning the pool dancing and singing. Can had put his swim shorts on to go do some laps in the pool, when he saw Sanem singing and dancing around. He just stood in the door way and just watched her with a huge smile on his face. He loves watching her, she's so unpredictable. I always want to be around her.

She turns around dancing and she sees him looking at her, she loses her balance and falls into the pool. Can ran over to her, and she pops her head up out of the water and starts laughing, "see I told you I was clumsy"and they both started laughing. He helped her out of the pool and put the towel around her.

SANEM: " thank you!"

CAN: "are you okay?"   SANEM: "Can I fell in the water not of a cliff." They couldn't stop laughing, he loves how she makes fun of herself.   Sanem noticed that he didn't have a shirt on, and she started turning red, WoW, this guy is unbelievable, his muscles are bulging, I just want to touch him, and feel his chest. Sanem, get a grip you're making a fool out of yourself .

Can is watching her, he loves how shy she got all of a sudden. And she's blushing,  trying to look away from him. And she has a little grin on her face.

CAN: "Sanem are you okay?"

SANEM: " uhm yeah, I'm fine, I'm just going to go inside and change" and she's walking away and looking back and she trips over the lounge chair and Can runs and catches her before she hits the ground.  He has her pressed up against him, and she has her hands on his arms, she's thinking he feels so good, and he's thinking the same, he likes that he can see right through her wet shirt, and he feels himself getting hard. She starts blushing again and he has an amused look on his face. She stands up straight. " Thanks again Can, I hope you know first aid because you just might need it with me around. They both start laughing and she walks away to go change.  Can jumps in the pool to cool off. God she's beautiful, I never felt this towards another woman. She makes me so hot.

And Sanem is sneaking looks out the window. She can't get enough of him. He's doing laps in the pool and he's so hot. I feel like I'm burning up. He comes out of the pool all wet, and his muscles are bulging,   Ah Sanem ah go take a cold shower.

Can, catches her looking out the window, he smiles and goes inside to take the coldest shower he could.

Aziz and Miriban are watching this play out, their smiling ear to ear.

MIRIBAN: " Aziz, did you see them, there's definitely sparks there."

AZIZ: " fireworks my dear, definitely fireworks. Don't they remind you of us two?"

MIRIBAN: " they do, hopefully their love story will be easier than ours."

AZIZ: "who ever said that true love was easy, but it's the end result that counts."

Miriban turned and looked at Aziz and smiled and hugged him. "I agree Aziz, our difficulties made our love stronger. Who would have ever thought Huma would have made our love stronger and they started laughing. She was the reason we broke up and after the divorce we got together again. It's Destiny my love."

AZIZ: "The only good thing that came out of that marriage was my boys"

MIRIBAN: " and now we have son number two, hopefully, things work out with him and Leyla, she's a beauty too."

AZIZ: "if she's anything like Sanem, And these boys marry them, then I will consider myself blessed."

MIRIBAN: " well my husband, it's time for us to get to work."

AZIZ: " okay, sounds good. Hey I have an idea, maybe we can have Can work at the agency and have Sanem do her internship there. I will tell him I want to rest maybe take a little vacation. This way he will stay longer and Sanem and him can work together."

MIRIBAN: " great idea, probably after this photo shoot.  It depends on her classes too, hopefully she's ready for an internship."

Miriban and Aziz, were very happy. With there plans.

Let the love begin.
