Early Bird (Erkenci Kus)(Part 3)

27. Good morning darling

The next morning, Sanem wakes up with a smile on her face and as she sits up in bed, the only thing she could think about was what she was going to wear on her first day as Can's official girlfriend. She had to look good. Knock his socks off. Make him happy that they were back together.

She paws through her closet, checking each item of clothing in the mirror and dropping them on the bed when they didn't work.

White? No. Purple? No. Brown? No. Yellow? No. Blue? No.

As the pile grows she finally finds the right one almost at the end of her line. Brick orange with leopard print. Bingo! And a black skirt and belt.

She gets dressed and curls the ends of her hair, doing her makeup and rubbing cream on before she put on her amber necklace. As she clips it, her phone dings on bed and she goes to check it.

'Good morning my love' - Mr Can

Smiling, she types a reply. 'Good morning my darling'

She doesn't get an immediate response but it doesn't matter. She would see him soon enough. She gathers her stuff and heads down to have breakfast.

'Good morning my darling' - Sanem

Can grins and grabs his keys, glasses and stones off the shelf in his room before going out, shutting the door behind him. He'd opted for an army green longsleeved shirt and black jeans with his trusty black boots, his hair tied half up and half down. The outfit spoke to him as he stood in front of his closet and he listened.

He finds Emre with a cup of coffee at the dining room table, his tablet open on the news headlines.

"Ooh," Can grins when he sees the plate of cookies. "Coffee and fresh cookies, huh? You eating without your big brother?"

"Good morning."

"Good morning," Can nods, putting his glasses on the table.

"I made you some tea."

"So you did think of me in some way," Can jokes and pats Emre's back, already on the way to the kitchen.

Emre snorts and laughs, shaking his head.

As he is daydreaming about his kiss with Leyla while Can got his tea, his phone receives a text notification. He takes another sip of coffee then puts down the cup, taking his time to check it.

'We need to talk' - Aylin

He frowns, chewing the inside of his cheek. 'I'll call you when I'm available'

Her reply is almost instant and he makes sure Can isn't coming as he reads.
'We need to talk now! I'm at the door already. I can come in and we can talk in front of your brother if that's what you want' - Aylin

He looks over his shoulder at the hallway leading to the front door and purses his lips. Damn it!

"Where are you going so fast?" Can says as he walks back in. "You're head's probably still spinning," Can jokes.

"No, it's fine. I have a few things to do before work, I almost forgot about them. I'll see you in a bit okay?"

"Alright," Can shrugs.

"See you later."

"Ciao." Can scratches his head and then calls towards the hallway. "I'm taking some of these cookies!"

"Enjoy!"

The door shuts behind Emre and he walks quickly to his car. He spots Aylin's gold Mercedes SUV across the street and keeps driving, seeing her follow in the rearview mirror. There was no way he was doing this anywhere near his house.
