Can and Sanem, a love story

"I have to remove your clothes Sanem"

Summary : Can asked Sanem to go hiking in the mountain with him, but now it's snowing and everything is going down. 

"Why did I say yes do this stupid invitation! I'm cold ! My clothes are wet ! And we are walking for hours!" Sanem had been screaming her anger for hours now. When she agreed to go on this little hiking trip with Can, she thought it would be a cute little walk, hand in hand, like a cute little couple, in a cute little landscape. But no. Nope. Noooooo. Here she was, exhausted and hungry, freezing under the turkish snow. "Who goes hiking in winter anyway!"

"Sanem !" Can was exhausted too, not because of this trip but because of Sanem who couldn't stop growling. He thought that taking her to a little promenade, just the two of them, far from the city drama, would be a good idea. He had planned everything. Some food, some blankets to get comfy at night, candles, more blankets. And the point of all this was to show her a small house he built when he was younger, hidden by the firs, in the middle of the mountain. No one knew about this small hut. The secret was even better kept that his cabin. What Can had not planned was the snow and the cold. When he had prepared this trip, he looked at the weather channel every hours to be sure the hike would be feasible. Damn he was going to sue them as soon as they would be back in town. They had been walking for hours now, and even if his pride didn't want to admit it, Sanem was right. It was maybe not the best idea to have a walk outside in winter. And yes, he was cold too.

"What ? Sanem ! Don't Sanem me Can Divit!" Can had never seen Sanem that angry. He knew she could be like a storm, and that sometimes, she did stupid things out of anger, but he was discovering a new level of anger right now. 

"Sanem, we'll be there soon, it's ok". She was testing his patience, but also, he found her very cute when she was mad. And it made him so happy to just be with her, even if it was not the most romantic moment ever. 

"It's ok ? Of course it's ok ! You are some kind of Rambo who traveled around the world, lived in the jungle and took bullets in your chest ! I am just a city girl who never left her neighborhood ! How did you think I would be able to hike under the freaking snow!" When Can asked Sanem to follow him in this trip, she was delighted. He went to her parents to ask them the permission to take her for the week-end. Of course they said yes, they were getting more used everyday at the idea of him becoming their future son in law. It was supposed to be perfect. He told her to put on warm clothes and comfy shoes and that was all. The rest was inside his bag. Even if she was exhausted and even if the cold outside was making her breath harder each time, she was still enjoying the moment. But she couldn't say this to Can. She was still mad !

"I AM NOT ENJOYING THE MOMENT!"

"I know Sanem ! You've been saying this for hours ! I know ok !" Uh oh, maybe Can's patience had its limits finally, because his voice resonated between the trees and the mountains. Maybe it was the moment Sanem went a little bit too far... "Ok Sanem ! I am sorry I had this stupid idea ! Fine, now that it is said, we are in the middle of nowhere and our phones don't work so would you please make it easier for both of us and stop SCREAMING!" 

"I am not SCREAMING you are SCREAMING!" 

Can didn't want to make the situation worse so he decided not to answer and started walking again, a little bit in front of her to secure the path from any holes or tree branches. Sanem also kept hour mouth shut. Well not really, she was still mumbling her anger, but not too loud so Can couldn't hear her. 

They spent the next hour not saying a word, just waiting for the moment they would finally see the small hut. But Can was starting to get worried, did it still exist ? Why couldn't he find it ? He went there a few months ago and it was still here. Of course, he couldn't share his concerns with Sanem, he didn't want to risk a new round of screams. But a small voice got him out of his thoughts. 

"Can..." When he turned back, he saw Sanem hands and knees in the snow. She had trouble breathing and was really pale. 

"Sanem!" he said, running to her. The poor girl was freezing and it looked like she was starting to have fever. Her whole body was shivering and her lips were blue. Can immediately hugged her. He then put out of his bag a blanket and wrapped her inside. He checked her body to see if she was not injured and took her in his arms, carrying her bridal style. "It's ok baby" he whispered, kissing her forehead. He was doing his maximum to look reassured and fine, but the night was falling and he knew it would be even colder in a few hours. He was so upset at the thought of putting the woman he loved in any kind of danger. And even if she thought he was some kind of Rambo, he was struggling too. He was tired and he had no idea how they would spend the night. That's when he was starting to lose hope that he finally saw it, his small hut, covered in snow but very much in front of him. He would almost call it a miracle. 

"Sanem, I'm going to release you just for a few seconds ok, just the time for me to open the door. Is it ok for you honey?" he asked. She only answered with a tired smile, unable to move her freezing lips. Once he had opened the door, he carried Sanem again and put her on the fluffy carpet, next to the fireplace. He then lit a fire and grabbed more blankets in his bag. He removed his gloves and his coat and rushed to Sanem again. 

"I have to remove your clothes Sanem", he said. Normally, this sentence would cause in both of them all sort of emotions, and then they would get shy. But even Sanem knew this time why he was telling her this. First, he removed her coat, her sweater, and then her shirt. He didn't really have time to think about it, but here he was, in front of her half naked chest, staring at her bra. They both shared an intense gaze when they understood what was coming next. He had to unbutton her jeans. "Sanem I... I can let you do this if you want..." 

But it was not a trick or anything, Sanem really couldn't move, her body was still trembling and her clothes were very soaked. So once again, Can took actions and removed her pants, softly, calmly and slowly, trying to concentrate on anything else. And here she was, almost naked, in her underwear. She was looking so vulnerable and shy. The lights of the fire made her look even more beautiful, giving her body some sort of yellow and red tone. But that was not the moment to think about this. Can quickly wrapped her in the blankets before removing his own wet shirt. He grabbed her next to him, wrapping his muscular and protective arms around her, next to the fireplace. They stayed long minutes without a word, just enjoying the feeling of their skins glued to each other. But Can knew Sanem still needed to warm up, so he stood up and took a steel mug in his bag, with a small packet of dehydrated soup he mixed up with water and heated up in the fire. 

"I'm sorry...", he said giving her the hot soup. 

"What for?" asked her fragile voice. 

"This. The snow, this long day, you being cold and sick..." 

"Don't you worry Can", she whispered, her hands caressing both sides of his face. "Also... I mean... nice move getting me in my underwear, Can Bey".
