The Princess & The Bodyguard

Discovery

In the evening of the same day Leyla messaged Mert "Aşkım, I will not be able to come to you before going to bed, Emir is constantly around and I cannot sneak out unnoticed. If you do not mind, let's go to our place tomorrow."

"Tamam, aşkım. We will go there tomorrow, of course. Just make sure to stay safe. I love you." he messaged back

"I love you." she responded

On the following day Leyla and Mert went to their beloved, secret place - the Hidden Garden. They sat down on the familiar wooden bench, under the as familiar oak tree. Mert could not get enough of his beloved Leyla and her out-of-this-world beauty, so he asked her to lie down on the bench, with her head in his lap, so that he could be constantly looking at her, while they were talking. He grabbed a strand of her hair, swirled it around his own fingers and then brought it to his face, breathing in the wonderful floral scent, which he simply adored.

"Hmmm, just how much I love your hair's aroma..." Mert said, while still inhaling

Leyla smiled and replied "This is why I always keep it the way you love it."

Mert smiled back at her.

"I do not want to open this topic so much again, but I am wondering how Emir has heard rumours about us." Leyla said "We have been careful since the beginning."

"I do not know either, aşkım." Mert replied "It came all of a sudden."

"You know... I sometimes wonder what it would be like if Emir ever learnt about us and our relationship." she said "But, at the same time, I cannot take that risk. I cannot risk something to happen to you."

"However much we are hiding and trying to be careful, I think that sooner or later he will learn about all this." he replied "This moment in almost inevitable."

Leyla stretched her hand out and caressed Mert's face, saying "Even if this happens, whenever it happens, know that I am with you."

Mert smiled, kissed her hand and replied "I know this, my love."

The two secret lovers spent two good hours in their beloved Hidden Garden and then returned back to the house.

In the evening, after dinner, Leyla decided to pay a visit to her beloved man, who was more than happy to cuddle with her a little bit, before going to bed.

While Leyla was snuggling in Mert's arms like a sweet, clingy kitten, she said "Soon we will again have the opportunity to be alone, because at dinner Emir told me he was going to Izmir for work, for three days. He is going tomorrow evening."

"So, we are going to have some time for us ourselves?" Mert exclaimed

"Mhm..." Leyla replied back

"This is good to hear." Mert replied "What shall we do during these three days?"

"Hm, I do not know. There are plenty of things to do." she answered

"For example?" he asked

"For example..." she said and then slowly closed the remaining distance between their heads, kissing him slowly, with passionate kisses

When they pulled away, Leyla looked deep into Mert's eyes, with her own eyes shining with her endless love towards him. Mert smiled at her and said "This anyway is of the things that we are going to do."

"I know." she replied "But, when you asked me, I felt like answering you like this, instead of talking."

Mert smiled satisfyingly and replied back "This is the best answer to a question that I have ever received!"
