Yours, truly

Chapter 7

Eda and Serkan returned to their hotel early in the morning, each in their own rooms. She fell heavily on the bed, exhausted but happy. That day would be for sure carved in her memories. After taking a shower to wash the salt off, Eda did her makeup and got ready for breakfast, where everyone was already waiting.

"Oho, the princess has finally woken up" Efe joked as Eda struggled to keep her eyes open. She took a seat next to Efe and leaned her head in his shoulder, falling asleep 5 seconds later again.

"Is she always like this?" Serkan asked, smiling at how adorable she looked.

"Yes, she just needs some coffee to jumpstart her system." Efe chuckled. "She has probably slept late last night." He continued. But little did he know who she was with last night up until the morning.

Eda opened her eyes as soon as a drop of coffee hit her system. She was still sleepy but had a smile on her face, recalling all the events of last night and how Serkan was sleeping comfortably on her stomach.

"What did you do that you slept late?" Efe asked curiously as he saw Eda finally come back to her senses.

"Allah Allah, sana ne? We should ask you actually. You practically disappeared and I haven't seen you since yesterday afternoon." Eda shot back, winking at Ceren who was silently chuckling. "Tamam ya. No need to get all defensive." Efe said, raising his hands in defense.

They all finished breakfast and headed upstairs to get ready for the award ceremony. Serkan wore a light blue shirt, folding its sleeves at the elbows and a pair of dark blue pants while Eda wore a red satin ruched side slip mini dress that hugged her curves perfectly.

The team gathered at one of the big gardens where the ceremony was supposed to take place half an hour before it started. Selin was taking care of the paparazzi, Efe and Ceren were sat at one of the tables drinking champagne, while Piril, Engin and Serkan were talking to Fikret Bey and Aylin Hanim who'd showed for support.

The last one to come was Eda. Her eyes were immediately scanning the crowd to meet a certain green pair, only to find them already gawking at her. She looked like a Greek goddess with her tiny waist, long aphrodisiacal legs and the most beautiful smile. To say that he was left in awe would be an understatement.

"Eda, you look amazing!!" Aylin Hanim exclaimed as Eda approached them, giving her a friendly hug.

"I can say the same about you, Aylin." Eda answered as she then shook her hand with Fikret Bey. The couple left to take their seats as the ceremony was about to begin, leaving Eda and Serkan alone.

"You look pretty." Serkan uttered not able to take his eyes for a second off of her figure, barely managing to hold himself back. Pretty? What do you mean pretty, Serkan? She looks marvelous, magical like a real-life fairy.

"You clean up pretty well too." Eda smiled, noticing the effect she had on him. "Are you excited?" she asked.

"Hm? For what?" Serkan answered, trying to snap out of her magical spell.

"The ceremony." Eda chuckled, pointing towards the people that were already sat in their seats.

"Ah, the ceremony. Yes." Serkan recalled as Selin approached them.

"Serkan, the press is already here and I can't hold them back, because they're invited. But it's all taken care of." Selin said, giving Eda a side-eye. "I took care of the news they wanted to spread earlier and threatened to sue each and every one of them for it."

"Great. Amazing." Serkan sighed as they sat in the chairs. The ceremony was about to start. The best works were shown on the monitor and there was a lot of competition between the companies. Every team went up on the stage and did their presentation, the crowd clapping and cheering after they all finished it.
