Finding Our Way Back Home Can/Sanem

🌸Chapter Thirty-Eight🌸

Tapping the pen on the table "So where's he gone?" It had been two days since she'd run out after they had kissed. She hadn't mentioned anything to anyone....she was embarrassed herself.

He'd gone and done his disappearing act again. Well it was good she was glad...she would be even happier if he didn't show his face here again.

'Who are you kidding...idiot' her inner voice said 'just one look and you're on your knees...you have no back bone...stand up to him...don't let him have his way...demand an explanation. With what right did he kiss you?'

"All we know..." Sanem thoughts were averted...coming back "Is that he's gone back home." Deren explained.

"Probably missing his friend...not that I care." Sanem said 'So why are you mentioning it if you don't care so much?' her inner voice said. 'I think I'm giving you too much authority' She told her inner voice. Without realising she'd spoken out loud.

"Sanem are you alright....Sanem." CeyCey said loudly...giving her arm a tug.

"Ow...wh...what CeyCey there's no need to scream." She said rubbing her arm. "There was no need for that."

"I'm not screaming...your running away with your thoughts...and talking to your self." He murmured the last part  to himself....but she had heard him.

"Oh shut up..." Sanem said giving him a slight punch on his arm.

"Sanem I know I've told you...that I didn't know what going on between Can bey and Defne but now I've realised it's nothing like that."

"What do I care." Sanem said pouting her lips and shrugging her shoulders at the same time.

To be honest she knew that...she had seen the way Defne and Burak were around each other. That reminded her...to ask him about it next time they had a heart to heart.

"Yes we all know how much you don't care...come on we're only here till the end of next week." CeyCey said.

"Well why did he go...if he was going back next week?" she asked hoping her curiosity wasn't showing.

'Again...your going overboard...stop with these questions.'  She told herself.

"No Sanem my love...we're going back...Can's staying here. That's when he comes back....he'll still be here." Deren said...amused by Sanems questions...shaking her head to herself. "Oh by the way Can e-mailed the photos to me this morning...want to see." Deren asked Sanem.

"Yes sure..." Her face had turned crimson...quickly puting a hand to cover one side of her face. She didn't want to be reminded of that day... sighing heavily...He must have gone to sort these out...she thought. 'Whatever floats your boat' her inner voice said. 'Keep thinking... he ran away from you Idiot...that's his Mo' "What do I care...go away." Sanem said out loud again...fanning her face trying to shoo away her inner voice.

The rest of the week was spent trying to finish of the work they needed to take with them. 

Sanem spent as much time as possible with CeyCey and Deren...over the next few days. They spent the last few nights with Sanem...when it was time for them to leave it was hard all around. She knew CeyCey hated goodbyes...this time was even harder as he had formed an attachment with Ayman.

"I didn't know I would come to love him this much...but then again he's your son. Take care of yourself and Ayman." He said hugging them both.

CeyCey was one thing she had expected everything from him...however Deren surprised her. The feelings and bond she had formed with the baby had surprised even Deren herself. The goodbyes was hard...both giving several hugs to both Sanem and Ayman.
