A Cinderella Story - ZeyBar

Chapter Twenty-one Ⓜ

Zeynep.

We arrived at the villa in the evening. I told Mom I was going to sleep in Emine and packed what I could of my belongings into a backpack.

Now Barış, Metin, and Kaan, Emine's boyfriend, were outside grilling meat, and me, Emine, and Derya, Metin's girlfriend, were chatting in the kitchen, preparing the rest of the dinner we were going to eat outside in the yard. It is so beautiful here, if this cottage was mine I would live here! It's far from the city but not too much, it's big and not that much at the same time, but it's in a great location overlooking the busy city.

After an hour we gathered at the big round table under the stars and I felt so relaxed. The evening was going great and I couldn't stop laughing at every joke or silly speech Emine came up with as Kaan tried to say something too and Metin argued with her about which is the better filling for a croissant - butter or chocolate . I was enjoying the wonderful evening, the conversations and the wine, and I was resting my head on the shoulder of the equally silent Barış at the moment, whose kiss I felt in my hair. I smiled and continued to listen.

After the quick cake I managed to put together and the evening breeze began to blow our hair, we all moved into the living room to play a game that Barış remembered he had somewhere in the cottage's cupboards. It is played in pairs and we all have our partner next to us. I had no doubt that me and the handsome prince would win this war. Game, I meant game.

Everyone had a minute to explain to their partner a word from the cards in their hand, and whichever team has more guessed words wins.

Emine and Kaan were first, he was explaining, she had to guess. Emine managed to guess 7 out of 11, which is a little scary because it's a good score.Next came Metin and Derya, who is quite shy and silent, but managed to explain 9 words so well that their couple topped the ranking.It was our turn and Barış squeezed my hand and whispered that we were going to smash them, but I still felt nervous, as if this was not just for fun.

"Okay, ready?" - I nodded - "Here we go... Where was our first dinner as a couple?"

"On a yacht?"

"Yacht, well done... And what's the movie with the sinking ship?"

"Titanic!"

"Something you blow on a cake?"

"Candles!"

"Your favorite animal?"

"Cat!"

"The thing we drink every morning?"

"Tea? Coffee!"

"Yes... What is the highest mountain peak in the world?"

"Everest" - I reply fast.

"Something that's made into tea! Ceren drinks that in the office?"

"Chamomile?"

"No, no, well, uh"

"Green tea?"

"Hayir..."

"Uuh, it always follows you around the office!"

"Perfume?"

"No! I always tell you that you smell like... ."

"Ahh, jasmine!" - we clap our hands, I guessed it!!.

"Aferin! What do football players kick?"

"A ball? "

"What am I like?"
