Lucky

Chapter 8

Eda was waiting for Ceren on the seafront, next to the stand chosen for lunch. After a few minutes from her arrival, she saw Ceren greeting her warmly from afar as she walked toward her.

- Dada! Here I am, surprisingly on time!

Eda greeted her with a big hug and they ordered food. They chose to take it away to eat at the beach.

- Well, Ceren, it's time to tell me everything and I mean, everything that happened last night after I fainted.

Ceren grimaced at her.

- You mean after you fainted in his big arms full of muscle!

- Ceren!
Eda blushed while Ceren laughed kindly.

- Tamam, Edacim. So after you fainted in Serkan's arms, he started calling you to wake you up. He took you in bridal style out of the club, while we followed you right behind. We reached his car and he passed his keys to Engin and, after consulting, we decided to take you home directly and wait for your awakening. We know that after a few minutes you usually wake up from fainting, so we chose this option.

- You did good, you know me better than I do.

Ceren smiled at her and continued her report.

- As I said before, Engin was the driver while you were still in Serkan's arms and he decided to get in the back seats of the car, not letting you go.
He was scared to death: he was so pale, I was scared that he might faint too at any moment!
However, you kept snuggling him, so tightly while sleeping, that we all thought you knew what you were doing!

Ceren smirked and Eda blushed again: damn unconscious Eda, always complicating things!

- Well, we arrived at your house, me and Melo following you with a cab to let you be more comfortable in the back seats without a car full of people. And we had more drinks than you so it was better to leave the car there and go by cab.

Eda nodded, approvingly.

- Once at home, he placed you in your bed, removing your heels and your earrings because he knows they bother you since you usually roll in bed multiple times, and putting two pillows under your head because you love sleeping that way.
I didn't know these features of yours and by your surprised face right now, I have to assume you didn't too!

Eda was simply astonished by his tender and attentive side, one of the things she loved the most about him. He remembered all the things that she loved and she felt she had been pampered like old times.

"Serkan Bolat never forgets anything about Eda Yildiz", he always used to repeat to her, making her feel so lucky to have him.

- Then, Serkan left your bedroom and went into the kitchen. He seemed so shocked about what had happened that we thought it was better to leave him alone for a while. So I, Melo and your brother waited outside your room, taking a look at you from time to time until you woke up. Then I suppose you know the rest.

Ceren shrugged her shoulders and finished her burger. Eda was silent for a while, absorbing all the information and organizing her thoughts. Or better, trying to.

- Ceren first of all: thank you for your patience. You know, I... The last time I fainted was that day. Once I get home after my disastrous meeting, I fainted on my couch. Luckily, Engin was in front of my house right before I got home because I had called him. I even missed - for the first time in so many years - my, our, traditional dinner at the orphanage because I felt deeply destroyed.
Since that time, I've not experienced this thing anymore until last night. But it's all his guilt!
