CanEm One-Shots (English)

Diamond (Part Two)

Plot: Part 2 of Diamond, where Can tries to win Sanem over after she leaves the agency to work with Yigit.

Normally, Can would have been outraged that an employee had dared to raise his hand at him. His left cheek still stung painfully from where CeyCey had hit him and he tried his hardest to pout in annoyance ... at both CeyCey and himself.

CeyCey was right and reluctantly, Can was ready to admit that he had deserved the slap that CeyCey had hit him with.

Sanem had continuously fought for him and he'd been too stubborn to realise. He'd let his anger consume him, like she'd readily pointed out, and he was losing her over a poxy perfume. He'd lied, under the influence of his rage, and said that her smell was what set her apart from the rest. But that was the furthest thing from the truth. Seeing her face light up in the presence of Yigit had reminded him that Sanem was extraordinary. From her looks, to her infectious laugh to her comical quips, Can was lucky to have her in his life.

But he was pushing her right into the arms of another and he couldn't let that happen. The thought of somebody else making her happy, holding her hand, caressing her skin, growing old by her side ... it made Can feel worthless. Sanem was his purpose, his drive, and in that moment, he was certain he couldn't go to the Balkans. He was going to stay, and he was going to fight. CeyCey's slap was the reality check he never knew he needed. He needed to get over himself and fight for Sanem - like she had tried to do for him- like she deserved.

"Mr. Can-" CeyCey stared at him sheepishly, ready to apologise for his behaviour when he caught sight of something alarmingly suspicious. "Mr. Can, duck!"

Can didn't know what CeyCey was muttering about until he grabbed his arm and pulled him down to the ground. Comedically, Can's large frame tumbled towards the ground and he turned abruptly towards CeyCey in confusion.

"What are you doing now, CeyCey?" Can cursed loudly, only for CeyCey to shush him like a parent does to their naughty child.

"Look!" CeyCey whispered as they shielded themselves with Can's large car.

At first, Can was confused as to what he was meant to be looking at until it finally hit him like a tonne of bricks.

"Is that Yigit ... and Polen?" Can watched as Yigit looked left and right before slipping into his ex-girlfriend's car.

"Come on, lets go, hurry!" Once Polen's car zoomed out of view quickly, CeyCey was up and ready to follow them. "Come on, Mr. Can ... we are losing them!"

Can hurriedly paid heed to CeyCey's words and tried to stealthily follow Polen's car.

The little car chase lasted only but a few minutes, Can's foot hitting the break quickly as he saw Polen up to a restaurant. Apparently, CeyCey was very good at his stalking game because within minutes, the pair of them were seated at a table far enough from Polen and Yigit to not be recognised yet close enough for them to make out their conversation. But just for safety measures, CeyCey held a menu up in front of their faces as an added disguise.

"Renting out the floor downstairs was genius!" Polen congratulated Yigit cheerily and Can and CeyCey glanced at each other in utter puzzlement. The two looked oddly familiar, smiling and laughing together and it was an unlikely of pairings ... there was definitely something suspicious going on.

"She'll be close enough for Can to see her move on - with me - and far enough so he won't be able to do anything about it." Yigit replied smugly, face dazing off into thought about his prospective relationship with Sanem.

"Oh please, don't tell me you're actually falling for her-"

"What does that matter, Polen? You want Can for yourself and by me taking Sanem off his hands, you get exactly that-"
