Wherever You Go

Chapter 14

Hazan watches as he turns and touch the door handle. Is this all? Take care Hazan? Is that all he is going to say? She knows that he is not very fond of her right now, but after all that they went through this is their good bye? Specially when they were supposed to reunite in some way or the other in US?

"Yagiz" she calls softly and he instantly turns, his apprehension clearly visible in his face. Next thing Hazan knows is that she has moved forward as if in a trance and is hugging him tight, almost hanging on to him because he does not hug her back immediately. She buries his face in the thick leather jacket of his and tries to form coherent thoughts.

" Take care Yagiz. Please remember that you are a remarkable human being. A special person who achieved a lot on his own. Nothing or no one can take that away from you" she says, tears threatening to choke her. She thinks of telling him that she loves her, but is too afraid to do so.

After a minute or two she feels his arms going around her, with the familiar sigh. He holds her loosely like he was afraid of crushing her or being crushed himself, his heat burning her through the thin fabric of her dress. They stay like that for an eternity, Hazan holding him in a death grip and Yagiz trying to keep her a little away from him and seemingly failing. The memories of all their hugs runs through Hazan's brain. When she was not aware of her feelings, she should have known from the sheer electricity his touch produced. Yagiz only thought about one hug, the one at the airport when he turned back and came, when he was dying with love for her and he pretended that she hugged him so enthusiastically because she loves him too. Finally it dawns on her that he has a flight to catch.

" I will let you go to the airport" she murmurs and slowly let him go. The next instant she is gently taken from her upper arms and put against the door by Yagiz in a surprising gesture. In all her acquaintance with him he has been nothing but polite , even when fighting. Yagiz dragging her by the arm and kissing her instantly comes to her mind. Except that of course. Having placed her against the door Yagiz places his hands both sides of the door, trapping her in between them. His face is severe and eyes wild. She has not seen this Yagiz before. Despite the trepidation Hazan cannot help feeling a thrill at his possessive gesture. His face comes down until it almost touches hers.

" I will just ask one thing from you Hazan. You cannot go near or even talk to Sinan. Not under any circumstance" he says, spelling out each syllable slowly and clearly, his breath on her. She automatically nods, she has no desire to anyway. She has already said what is there to be said to him and there is nothing left for him to blackmail her with. But Yagiz's eyes are insistent on her.

" I will go out of my mind if you do. I swear I don't know how to handle it" he says, still softly but in a commanding voice he has never used with her.

" I promise Yagiz. I promise" Hazan says desperately wanting him to believe her .

Yagiz blinks and cannot believe that he was this aggressive with her. He doesn't know what came over him. Hazan's eyes are large and pleading with him to believe her and he immediately takes his hands down , relaxing his aggressive pose. However she doesn't move at all and continues to stare at him, her eyes full of unshed tears. Yagiz cannot not help it anymore. He slowly lowers his head and kiss the top of her head, a feather light caress of a kiss, and is gone out of the door instantly.
