With Forgiveness...Comes Happiness

Chapter Six

Sanem and along with her mother and Leila, made the trip back into town for the last fitting on the wedding dress she had fell in love with. The gown was quite simple, but very elegant. It was an ivory silk gown, with the sweetheart neckline that was lined with small rhinestones and they continued on over the straps that draped over her shoulders. The garment hugged her curves gently, then flowed into a beautiful long train of material. It was just the look she was going for, that soft yet mature look. She felt more like a woman now than she had all of her life, and she was ready to move on into that world of being a wife and partner to the most amazing man in the world. With the last fitting done and the promise that the dress would be ready for her the next day, they grabbed a quick lunch before heading back home. Sanem missed Can terribly and was aching to see him, so she sent her mother and Leila on their way and she took a taxi to the agency to surprise Can with a visit. It had been two days with only phone calls and she needed that touch from him, she thought as she walked boldly into the agency. 

Everyone waved and shouted their hello's to her as she made her way to Can's office. This place had always made her happy and the people here had become more than friends, they were family. Especially CeyCey, he was her most values friend and like that brother she never had, as he hurried around to greet her with a hug. " Welcome Sanem, I'm glad your back and safe. I know you're here to see Can but he's in a meeting right now, you may have to wait." She smiled, " That's ok, who is he meeting." She asked, peeking around CeyCey to look into Can's office. Her face burst into a smile, " Is that Metin, oh my God when did they settle their differences. Are they speaking again." She grabbed CeyCey, giving him a big hug, filled with the happiness that Can had finally reached out to his friend. She hurried to his door and tapped on it as she walked in, smiling from ear to ear. 

Can and Metin were deep into the discussion of the contract when Sanem entered, " Metin, I'm so glad to see you." Her voice full of excitement. Can and Metin were both surprised, Can stood quickly as a look of surprise spread across his face. She headed straight to Metin, with her arms open, ready for his man size hug. He stood and grabbed her up in his arms, "Ah Sanem, it's so good to see you. And i'm glad you finally knocked some sense into this guy." He smiled nodding at Can. They both laughed but Sanem could tell she had walked into a very serious meeting. She stepped back looking at them both, " Hey what going on, it's look like you just got caught doing something wrong." Her eyes darted back and forth, looking at Can then Metin. Can smiled, " Oh it's nothing, just a business thing. Here have a seat, next to me." He said as he pulled the chair around, positioning it next to him. She felt uneasy but took a seat, " So, what business, what has you both so nervous."  She asked, looking directly into Can's eyes.

Can laughed, " It's nothing my dear, really, just trouble with a contract. You know the one from the modeling agency." She eyed him, seeing that uneasy look in his eyes. " Hmm, I thought Mr. Erogin was handling that." Metin spoke up, "He was but Can asked me to take a look at it, just as a second opinion. So I dropped by to see what kind of trouble our boy has gotten into now." They both laughed, but it was a forced laugh, one that made her know they were hiding something from her. She would have to accept what they were telling her for now, but she knew there was more to this than met the eye. She reached across the desk for Metin's hand, " Enough business talk, Can did tell the wedding date, right, and I'm giving you a special invitation. Please come, it would make me so happy, and I know it would Can." Her eyes pleaded with him. He has a very special spot in his heart for Sanem, so to refuse would have been impossible, but his eyes darted towards Can to see his response. Can gave him a slight smile and a nod of his head, it was almost like he too was inviting him with just that small gesture. Metin took Sanems hand in his,   " I wouldn't miss it for the world, I'll be there with bells on, as they say." She squealed with delight, " Great, it's going to be the best wedding ever." 

Can took a deep breath, " Well bebek, what brings you by here anyway. Did you have your fitting." He asked letting out a sigh of relief. She turned her attention to Can, reaching for his hand, " Yes, I did, and you my dear are going to be blown away when you see my dress." She leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He smiled, wishing that Metin hadn't been in the office at the time. He was definitely ready for more than just a peck on the cheek, he wanted to pull her as close to him as possible and cover those lips of hers with his. The thought of at made a chill run down his body, but before he had a chance to say anything she stood and excused herself, " Well, I think I've interrupted more than what you have let on, so I'll go visit with my friends while the two of you finish your business." She gave Metin a wink, " And I will see you in a couple of days at the wedding." She looked at Can, " I'll be back later, maybe we can have an early dinner." She spoke letting her eyes rove over him like a scanning machine. He felt the heat rise up and he was sure his face had to be 50 shades of red. 

Metin lowered his head trying not to look at the exchange of flirtation between the two. He was  quite amused at the fact she had the world famous Can Divit in a tither, his man that he had known for most of his life as the one that the could have any girl in the room, had been thrown for a loop by a sweet little girl from Istanbul, he loved it....Can shifted in his chair looking at Metin,  "Ok, ok, I know what you think, you think I'm head over heels in love with that woman, and you would be correct." He looked at his old friend with that sweet look of total defeat. " Look Metin she can't know what is going on with the cosmetic company, or would upset her too much and right here before the wedding, well I just won't have it. Metin nodded, " Dont worry Abi, I'll take care of it and Sanem will never know."  

Can was still fully charged from just a simple touch from her, as Metin shook his hand to leave the office. He promised to call him soon with a solution and told him he would see him at the wedding. 

Can followed him out and down the hall, waving at him as he left. He heard her laughter and turned to find her, his eyes searched the huge room for her, and like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert, .....there she was. His heart skipped a beat, as their eyes found each other.

He would never get tired of seeing this woman...never get tired of that feeling of complete and utter infatuated love....
