43. Standing Tall

*NAZLI*

"Someone has come to meet you boss" One of my chefs informed me. "Who is it?" "She didn't say that" The boy replied. "Okay, just take care of this soup. I'll be back in a minute" I told him and walked towards the front tables.

"Pelin? I thought you returned to your hometown" I smiled on seeing her. "Uh... Well no... I had a project to work on with Ferit" She replied with a huge smile. "Uh... With Ferit?" "Yes, I'm the architect for their Marina project. How will you know these fancy words though" She chuckled to herself.

The nerve of this woman. What did she want anyway ugh.

"I wanted to meet you earlier after hearing the baby news. But I also heard that Bulut ran away from home too... Both were shocking news for me, to be honest" "Both?" I crossed my arms over my chest and blinked at her.

I really doubted whether this was the same smiling lady that I talked to a few days back.

"Yes... I mean, we all know Ferit right? I couldn't even believe that he got married at first" She laughed again. "How come you know Ferit so well?" "Ah wait, Ferit didn't tell you? Wow that sneak" Her laugh was getting on my nerves now.

"We used to date for a long time till there was an accident and we had to break up" She replied nonchalantly. It took me a long time to digest this new information.

Pelin was Ferit's ex-girlfriend? And she was working on a project next to him? And she had the guts to come and insult me at my restaurant?

"A-Accident?" Why did I have to stutter?

"Something silly. You should ask Ferit but I doubt if he'd tell you" She replied. "Why did you come here Pelin?" Cut to the chase. "I wanted to congratulate you on the baby news" "Thank you. Do you need anything else?" I wanted to kick her out.

"I wanted to have lunch too. I'm starving" Again with that silly laugh. "Okay, I'll go get the menu" "No wait" She stopped me. "Maybe I can come back here again tonight and we can have dinner together. You can call Ferit as well" She had no right to tell me who I should and shouldn't call.

"I can't eat too much anyway. I'll meet you tonight Nazli, bye" She waved at me innocently before walking out. "A second ago you said you were starving..." I grumbled to myself.

These were the times I doubted whether Ferit was blind. The least he could do was date someone nice. Demet seemed better than this snake, Pelin.

*FERIT*

Bulut held my hand and we walked into the restaurant. "Unlce, what will Nazli make for dinner?" He turned to me curiously. "She'll surprise you buddy" I replied making him giggle.

But my face was drained of happiness when I saw Nazli sitting against Pelin at the same table. "Who is that?" Bulut asked me, "Uh..." I was too distracted in deciphering whether this was a nightmare.

"Welcome back!" Nazli got up to kiss me and Bulut. I stared at her and glanced back at Pelin, "I didn't know that you'd join us" "Yeah, I forgot to tell you" Nazli replied instead.

"Hello Bulut" Pelin smiled at him, "Hi" My little monster was shy to reply. "You stay here with sister Pelin and let me just talk to Nazli" I told him and he nodded. I grabbed Nazli's hand and pulled me with her inside.

"What are you doing?" "Going to have dinner with your ex-girlfriend and current architect for the marina project" She replied nonchalantly. Crap she knew. "Did Pelin tell you that?" "No, the info fell from the sky" I wanted to screw that smart mouth but my darling wife was too jealous now.

"I was going to tell you" "You don't need to anymore" She looked away from me arrogantly. I grabbed her hand and led her into one of the rooms away from everyone's eyes.

"What are you doing?" She pulled back her hand but I was quick enough to push her against the wall, and caging her between my arms. "The more jealous you get, the more I want to screw you right here and now" Nazli blinked at me a couple of times.

"I didn't tell you about Pelin but I never knew that you were going to invite her to the party. I'll tell you about her when we get home so stop giving me that annoying attitude because you have no idea how sexier it makes you" I rasped.

I caressed her face and my thumb brushed against her lower lip. Nazli closed her eyes and I accepted her invitation by kissing her passionately. 

"That's a reminder stating how madly I'm in love with you" I whispered making her blush a little. A smile played on her lips as she kissed me this time. "I love you too" She whispered back.

Ok, too much to resist.

I crashed my lips to hers again and moved down, proceeding to kiss her cheek and nibble on her ear. Nazli moaned softly when I kissed her neck. Just as I was about to sink my teeth into her delicate skin, "Not now love..." She whispered forcing me to pull back.

We returned back to dinner table and I could sense Bulut already feeling uncomfortable with Pelin. My little monster avoided her as much as possible. Nazli was a catalyst to this because of her smart retorts.

Every time Pelin did that silly laugh of hers, Nazli would have an apt retort handy making me smile a couple of times. I was proud if my lioness, I was even more ecstatic thinking that my daughter would have such a bold mother.

Nazli was perfect in every way possible.

A/N- ah you ppl da best for helping me cross 1k votes.

And no, Nazli and Ferit needn't have any unnecessary problems cuz of dumb Pelin like in the series hehe.
