LOOSING HOPE

THEIR LOVE STILL GROWS

When Can got home from work that evening, he found Sanem and the kids outside. Sanem was watering her flower garden. He got out of the truck and walked over to Sanem. He heard her humming a popular tune. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She let out a startled scream and then realized it was Can. She asked him if he was ever going to stop sneaking up on her. Can smiled and said probably not. He kissed her cheek and told her he missed her at the agency today. He told her he had nothing good to look at all day. Sanem giggled and told him he was sweet. She told him she will go tomorrow. Can said good and kissed her cheek again. Can went over to hug and kiss his kids. They were excited that their daddy was home. Sanem finished up watering her flower garden. She rounded up the kids and they all headed inside.

Sanem went to the kitchen to start dinner. Can changed out of his work clothes into something more comfortable. He came into the kitchen and asked Sanem if he could help. Sanem smiled and said sure. They were making pasta with meat sauce. Can asked her if she remembered the time, she burned the pasta and sauce, and they had to order pizza. Sanem told him that was his fault. He was kissing her and dancing with her, which got her mind off the food cooking. He said really. He took her in his arms and asked if they should test her theory. Sanem said no, no, no. She did not want to burn dinner again.

While they were cooking, Sanem suggested they go away for the weekend of his birthday. Just the two of them. Can told her she knew how he didn't like to celebrate his birthday. Sanem said we wouldn't be celebrating. We would be spending a weekend together, just us. Can said he might be OK with that. He told her he loved spending time alone with her. He kissed her passionately. She pulled back and told him to stop that. They had food cooking. Can laughed and said OK, he would be good. Sanem asked him where he wanted to go for a weekend. It would be his birthday getaway, so he gets to choose. Can said he did not know, but he would really like it to be somewhere in nature. Sanem said she was OK with that, just as long as there are no big bear/boar traps that she could fall into. Can said absolutely. He definitely didn't want to go through that again. Sanem scared the wits out of him when he saw her laying at the bottom of that bear/boar trap. Thank God it all worked out for the best. He told Sanem he would think about where he wanted to go and let her know. Sanem said OK.

Once dinner was done, Sanem set the table and called the kids in to eat. Everyone ate and chatted. The triplet's speech was getting much better. They still seem to have their own language between them. Sanem thought it was cute. It sounded almost alien when they spoke between themselves. Once everyone was done eating, Sanem wiped the kid's faces and sent them back off to play. Can helped Sanem clean up the kitchen. Can turned on a little music while they did the dishes. Once the dishes were done, a slow song was playing. Can held out his hand to Sanem and she took it. He pulled her into his arms, and he danced his wife across the kitchen. He kissed the top of her head. He told Sanem that Ahmet paid him a visit today. Sanem asked why. He told her he came to apologize for what happened with his brother, Cinar. He told Sanem that Ahmet still wanted to do business with the agency, without his brother being involved. Sanem asked him what he wanted to do. Can told her he didn't know. He told Ahmet that his brother would not come to the agency and would not be involved in any way if he decided to keep them as a client. Sanem told him that sounded fair. She told Can she didn't want him to lose a client because of her. Can embraced her and told her she did nothing wrong. He told her she would always be more important than a client. Sanem gave him a quick kiss and told him she loved him.

Later, Can sat down on the floor and played blocks with his son. Sanem played dolls with her daughters. Sanem fixed the kids a snack of cut up apples. After snack was over, it was bath time. Can bathed the girls this time and got them ready for bed. Sanem had to chase her son around until she caught him. She finally got him in the bath and then dressed for bed. Once they were down for the night, Sanem was exhausted. She sat on the couch in the living area with her feet propped up. Can came in and sat down beside her. Sanem said she was definitely going to the agency tomorrow. She gets exhausted just staying home. She said she needed to go to work, just to relax. Can laughed. Can told her their son was definitely a kid on the go. Sanem told Can their son was just like him. Always on the move. Always doing something. Can said like father, like son. Sanem asked Can if he felt like watching a movie. Can said sure, as long as he got to hold her in his arms. Sanem smiled and said deal.

Can picked out a romantic comedy, because he knew it was a favorite of Sanem's. She definitely loved her chick flicks. Can would never admit it to the guys, but he kind of liked them too. Can held Sanem in his arms as they started watching the movie. He watched Sanem laugh, get mad and cry over this movie. He loved her reactions to the things in life. Her face was always so readable. When the movie was over, Sanem said she was ready to hit the sack, but she needed to shower first. Can said me too. Can asked if he could join her in the shower. Sanem said of course, it saves on water. Can laughed and sure it does. They headed to the shower. They stripped and got in. Can washed Sanem and then Sanem washed Can. When they were done washing, Can pushed her up against the shower wall and kissed her deeply. Sanem opened her mouth wider to give him deeper access. His hands were roaming all over her body. Sanem was running her hands up and down his back. Can lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He entered her with one big thrust. Sanem moaned out his name. Can was kissing and sucking on her neck. He reached down between them to get Sanem to her release. Can started kissing her mouth again. He caught her moan in his mouth when she reached her release. Can soared right behind her. He slowly let Sanem's feet touch the floor. He continued holding onto her until she got her bearings.

They got out of the shower and Can wrapped her in a big fluffy towel. He wrapped a towel around his waist. He helped Sanem towel dry her hair. They walked back into their bedroom and Can pulled down the covers on their bed. They both climbed into the bed naked. Can pulled Sanem close to him. Her back was against his chest. Can wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her cheek and told her goodnight, my beloved. Sanem said goodnight, my one and only.
