My Turkish Heart

Chapter 28: Better A Lie, Than The Truth?

Burak tossed and turned on the couch that night. Daisy insisted that he share the room with Izzy, but he lied and said he had work to do. The mysterious text bothered him and he asked his assistant to find out who it came from, but he couldn't rest until he knew. Until then he did not want to alarm Izzy, so he tried to hide it as long as he could from her. His first suspicion was someone his family hired to scare him, but he thought that his family knew him well enough to know he doesn't scare easily. If they were doing it to harm Izzy, that wouldn't scare him, but instead make him furious. Every possibility swirled in his head that he struggled to fully rest. Hearing footsteps on the staircase, he pretended to be asleep.

Izzy came downstairs in her night robe and saw Burak resting on the couch. She wanted to share her bed with him, but he insisted on doing some work. Walking towards the couch, she froze thinking she might wake him up. The urge to touch him was a bit stronger, as she knelt down infront of him. Staring at his face, she caressed his cheek and he opened his eyes. Looking far from rested, she whispered : "Go sleep.."
He gave her a small smile then pulled her up. Without hesitation, Izzy placed herself ontop of him, staring at him with big eyes filled with contentment.
"Are you okay?" he whispered.
"Better now that you are here" she replied with a smile.
He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly, rubbing her lower back. It felt good to be back together and Izzy lifted her head and leaned in for a kiss. She merely wanted a small peck, but Burak held the back of her neck gently and kissed her deeper. It felt as if every unspoken word was said in that kiss. They both became so immersed in the kiss and the travelling of Burak's hands on Izzy's body that they didn't notice the light being switched on.
Clearing her throat, Daisy was pouring her some water. They both froze, then Izzy jumped up off of Burak and straightened herself up.
"You have a room, you know?" Daisy teased.
Izzy blushed so badly as she pressed her lips together. Daisy teased her some more then went back into her room.
"This is so embarrassing!" Izzy said as she turned to Burak.
He was grinning on the couch and laughed at Izzy being so embarrassed.
"Stop it! Can we please go rest in my room now?"
Burak got up and followed her upstairs. He had been in her room earlier when she gave him a tour, but now being in there at night it gave off a different ambience than before. Before she could switch on the light, she slid his hands from behind around her waist. The warmth of the palm of his hand on her naked skin felt exhilarating. She closed her eyes and savoured the moment, as he untied her robe. Burak's hands were owning Izzy's body, as his touch was igniting a hunger inside of her. Lately, she had been so stressed out that she had no way to release her frustrations. Tonight, she gave into her body's wants and let Burak take the lead. They moved closer to the bed and Burak threw off the plush bears that were on the bed. His kisses made Izzy want more, as she lifted off his t shirt. Drowning in each other's passionate kisses they laid down on the bed.
"You sure?" Burak whispered to her.
She smiled sweetly as she liked that he asked her consent before continuing. Nodding in agreement with a huge grin on her face, Burak wasted no time. An indescribable feeling took over as they made love in her bedroom that night.

The next morning, Izzy woke up in a happy daze. She turned around and noticed Burak was not in bed anymore. Feelings of disappointment washed over her, as she wanted to see his face when she opened her eyes. Trying to wake herself up, she got up and put her robe. Walking downstairs she could hear chatter in the kitchen. Daisy and Burak were having their morning coffee. She came down and sat beside Burak by the counter, he leaned over and kissed her sleepyhead.
"Okay, okay! We get that the two of you are inlove!" Daisy joked.
"Don't be jealous! No men down under you fancy, sis ?" Izzy asked.
"There was one, but his career made us see each other very seldom. So, we decided to end it before it got serious"
"Is Emma in a relationship?"
"Who is Emma?" Burak asked.
"She's our older sister" Izzy answered.
"I don't actually know, hey... She's been quite different the last few months" Daisy replied.
"What do you mean?"
"She's very... How can I put this? She seems very mad lately or frustrated by something. When I ask she says nothing is wrong, but very moody"
"Mom said she was supposed to be here by now"
"I don't know, when I boarded my flight that was the last I spoke to her. She wasn't sounding keen to come"
"How can she not be keen?! It's our parents we talking about!" Izzy raised her voice.
"Calm down askim (my love)" Burak said as he rubbed her back.
"No! She always does this! She puts everything before her family. Ever since she left, she's like a stranger..."
"Izzy! Calm down..." Daisy reprimanded her.
"We don't know the full story of what's happening with her, so we can't just judge. You know she has always been independent and also our parents were quite strict with her. There's alot you don't know that contributed to her being like this"
Izzy rolled her eyes and Burak could sense that Emma was a bit of a sensitive topic in the family to speak about.
"Let's go out for breakfast and enjoy the views" Burak suggested.
They both agreed then went upstairs to get ready.

Back in the city bowl, Serkan was coming back from the gym when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he answered out of breath.
"Why are taking so long to answer?" an annoyed woman replied.
"I was at the gym, I just got back to my room. What do you want?"
"I want to know how far you are with things. I don't want to get there just to clean up after you"
"Are you calling just to tell me that?!" Serkan got annoyed.
"Yes! If you can't make my sister suffer then what's the point of working with you!"
"Why do you want your sister to suffer so badly? Are you jealous of her?"
The woman scoffed at his remarks on the other side of the phone.
"That's my business, not yours! Get it done!"
She hung up on Serkan before he could reply. He cursed then dumped his phone on the bed.
"Crazy woman!"
