The group decided to walk around the gallery and enjoy Mehmet's exhibit while he slipped away for host duties. They were all engrossed in the beautiful paintings and sporadic conversation but Can and Sanem kept glancing back at each other from time to time. Each set of friends desperately wanting to get alone with Sanem and Can to get the scoop.
Can saw Sanem stop at a certain painting, looking intently at it as if she were studying it, her head moving from side to side as her eyes focused on every detail.
Beautiful isn't it, he asked, drawing her out of her musings.
Yes, very. It's as if I'm right there in the moment, like I could walk up to one of these doors and walk right in, she replied, not taking her eyes off of the art piece.
Can smiled broadly realizing that she was looking at the piece he had intended to buy for himself and loving the idea that she had felt the same connection to it as well.
I'd love to live right there by the water in one of those colorful homes. I live in the city to be closer to my office but I would love to get a place like this one day, Sanem said softly, almost to herself.
Well, then I'll have to make you dinner one night and have you over to my hut by the sea. You'd love it. This piece reminds me of it in a way so I was going to buy it tonight, Can said smiling broadly.
Sanem spun around..Really? Hmm. That's funny. I was thinking of buying it also! I will just wait for another one of his works that might be similar. I'm sure it would be lovely in your...what did you call it? A hut?? That would be an interesting place to have dinner..as she flashed one of her deadly smiles.
Can laughed lightly. Yes, that's what Farah and I call it. It was basically a dilapidated old shack when I bought it but it's been renovated. I love it there. Especially being on the water. It's not much but the view is spectacular! Again, I would love to have you over while I'm here, truly.
Sanem looked up at him shyly from under her eyelashes and softly said..That sounds nice, Can.
Poor guy. He thought he would need CPR soon. Did she just say yes!?!
Sanem turned to walk to the next painting but swung back around to ask Can a question and ran right into a wall of muscles and gasped! Why did she listen to Corinna and wear these sky high shoes??
Can, oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! I seem to keep doing that, she said quickly.
Can wanted to make her laugh and replied..I'm starting to think you're doing it on purpose, Sanem..flashing HER one of his killer smiles.
Sanem thought for sure she would faint. Where did the shy guy from earlier go?? Who is this guy all gorgeous and flirty? The other guy she could possibly handle but this..this was..phew!
Not far away, Celia was anxiously getting updates from Corinna as Farah was doing the same thing with Tahir.
Did you know about any of this..they both asked their friends.
