Through Your Eyes

Chapter - 8

Mature between the ****

***********************************************************************

Serkan worked on the editing of the photos for a couple of hours after dinner while Eda enjoyed the weather in the upper deck. She called Mira to fill her in on the shoot.

"Is now a good time to talk Mira?" asked Eda as she relaxed back into the chair. Serkan had brought her a glass of wine to enjoy with the view and the conversation.

"Now is good, the kids are in bed and Emir is watching some movie. So how did everything go? Tell me the details."

"Aside from the heat? It was like an oven Mira. It went good until the last day when the dune I was standing on gave way and I rolled to the bottom giving myself a concussion and then the sandstorm rolled in. There was the snake the first day that I could have done without. Poisonous thing slithered and just coiled up right in front of me while we were shooting."

Mira spit out the water she had just taken a sip of, "Oh God Eda what did you do?"

"I'm a professional Mira, I got the shots and then backed away real slow. No one was close enough to do anything. Serhat was afraid to move the screen in case he would spook it."

"Jeez Eda you talk about it like it was no big deal, I'm assuming that you were done shooting for the day."

"No, no, I went back to wardrobe and changed and Ari touched up my makeup and Metin fixed my hair. Do you remember Dal? She used to work with mom? She was one of the wardrobe ladies."

"Long black hair in a bun?" Mira was trying to picture her.

"That was her but she reinvented herself. She got divorced and lost weight. Her hair is shorter, colored and curly now. She looks really happy. It was a pleasure to work with her."

"So how was working with Serkan Bolat?"

How to get into this Eda wondered, "He wasn't what I was expecting."

"How so?"

"Well for one thing he's a lot younger than I thought he would be. He's only six years older than I am and for the career that he's had so far I think that's amazing."

"Eda what aren't you telling me?" Mira could sense that there was more but Eda wasn't telling.

"We spent a lot of time together with the storm and everything."

Her sister didn't do what she thought that she did, "Oh Eda you didn't hook up with him did you? You'll get a reputation for hooking up with photographers."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence Mira but that isn't exactly what happened. I decided to keep him. Rather we decided to keep each other. You'll meet him tomorrow when we stop by, I thought that you might want to see some of the shots and maybe meet him."

Mira held the phone away from her face and looked at it as though it held answers, "What do you mean you're going to keep each other?"

Eda knew that Mira didn't believe anything, she was skeptical of everything, "It's simple Mira, we fell in love with each other. It isn't a location romance it is so much more, he's so much more."

"Oh Eda, really?" the doubt in Mira's voice was radiating in her tone.

Eda knew that she would have this kind of reaction, "Meet him tomorrow, you'll see what I'm talking about. Promise you'll be fair? Truly Mira, have I ever done something like this before? Ever?"

"Fine, I promise, I'll see you tomorrow. And no, this would be a first for you so I'll withhold judgement until I meet lover boy."

She hung up with Mira and went back to sipping her wine and watching the boats on the sea. Serkan came upstairs to see Eda still enjoying the view. He picked her up out of her chair and sat down resettling her in his lap. He picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine.
