11:30 am, Saturday
I felt terrible. Kenan hasn't sought me out yet after running away suddenly yesterday. I regretted revealing myself so much to him - he didn't deserve it, and now I was convinced of that fact.
Erica insisted that we go out for a walk, because we hadn't been out together before due to various circumstances. I wanted to hide from the world, but she wouldn't let me stay in the hotel room. There was no way I was going to go head to head with her so I quickly chose an outfit. I chose a leopard print dress with a blue accent on the lace to tie with my little Bottega bag. For shoes, I chose comfortable black sandals with a small heel. I let my hair down and put on gloss and mascara.
The two of us had a lovely Italian espresso in a small square as various people passed by.
-Go on, tell me all about Tarak. I don't want you to worry that if my love life is bad, yours shouldn't blossom. - I said, laughing lightly. I felt something gently stab through my stomach. It was the pain from my previous relationship, reinforced with last night's situation. -
-Oh, Belle, my darling. I'm sure everything has a logical explanation..."
-"Well, tell it like it is. - I interrupted her and interlaced my fingers, resting my head on them.Erica blushed.
-He's very romantic, gallant, gentle. Yesterday he gave me a bouquet of red roses. He'd booked a lovely restaurant and I felt like a real princess with him.' she said, fluttering her eyelashes like a schoolgirl in love.
-'Darling, you deserve only the best. - I smiled warmly at her.
-You too. So please, let yourself fall in love again. Push the barrier you've put up. - Erica replied and placed her hand on mine.Of course, we had to do a little shopping therapy. I'm pretty modest, but when Erica goes shopping, even Carrie Bradshaw would make way for her to pass. I walked into a Hermes store because I wanted to buy new sandals. Erica was in the Gucci store across the street to find a suitable dress for her next date with Tarak. I was sitting in a chair waiting for the store clerk to bring me my size. I heard the store door open and two of the staff run in. Who the hell could have come in like that?
-'Mr Yildiz, we're glad to have you back. - One of them greeted him.I froze in my seat when I heard his last name.
-Miss, come try on your size. - The store manager was standing next to me, but I didn't react. - Miss?
That made Kenan look right at me. When he saw me his gaze seemed to lighten and he walked towards me.
-Come with me. - ' He said to me in a low, commanding voice
.-'I'm trying on sandals at the moment. I can't. - I pouted
He turned to the man holding them. - Wrap them up and put them on my account. I'll pick them up in a bit.
I looked up at him, slightly annoyed. What was he letting himself in for?
We were both standing in front of the store. I was still angry and kept my distance, my arms folded. I waited for him to start talking.
-'I know I should have looked you up earlier, but...' he paused for a moment, 'I know it sounds stupid, but I don't have your number. I tried to contact Erica, but her phone was off.
I raised my eyebrows as that sounded like a really dumb excuse. But actually, he doesn't have my number, I don't have his either.
-Belle, please give me your number. - He smiled.I wanted to know why he ran away so quickly and suddenly, but who was I to hold him accountable? Nobody.
-Kenan, you do realize I'm leaving here soon. - I didn't even know when we were going back to Amsterdam, but I didn't want to bargain with him right away. Even though that's how he was acting to me.
-And if I ask you to stay? - He raised his eyebrow.
-Stop that nonsense. I've already run off to another country for a man. I won't make that mistake again. - That confession slipped out. I didn't want to share it with him.
He sensed I was nervous and gently stroked my arm. -'Come on, let me buy you some tiramisu. - He said suddenly.
-But I'm with.... - I barely managed to say and he cut me off.
-Erica? Look over there. - He pointed me to the right of the Gucci store across the street.I saw Erica and Tarak kissing without a drop of shame. I smiled because they were really very cute.
-"So? What do you say? - he said and gently took my hand.
The man from the store handed him the bag with my shoes and he took it.While we were eating the most delicious tiramisu in the world, Kenan grabbed my phone and dialed his number, then memorized it.
-'Now you'll never escape me again. - He laughed like a child. - You look very sexy, by the way. - ' He changed the subject abruptly and it made me blush.
-You didn't need to buy the shoes. I didn't even manage to try them on. - I said timidly.
-'We could always change them. Don't let that bother you.
He put his hand on my thigh and moved closer. I blushed even more as people around us watched. More accurately they were looking at him, he was a familiar face after all.
-'Kenan ...' I muttered.
-'You didn't mind last night. You even let me do so. - ' He said and shoved his hand under my dress.
-'People are watching us. - I whispered to him-
-I want you right now. - He whispered in my ear and I got all tingly. - Come on. - He said and held out his hand for me to stand.
-Where are you taking me? - I wondered as I walked beside him.
