Demir took a deep breath and just blurted it out

„Eylül is not just someone i gotten to know just now, I did know her before!"

„So? What, when..."

„She and I were engaged"

Selin's face flashed red, her eyes big and teary, she stood up, looking around out to the water back to him, trying to put her head around what she just heard. Demir stood up too, holding her arm.

„I was like paralyzed when she popped out of nowhere... i should have told you immediately but... it was such a shock and then I was... a little thrown off..."

Selin was listening carefully, watching his face, it all was making sense at once. His shaken face when she found them in his office, his heavy sadness the day after she had arrived, how he was avoiding them to speak too long to each other, Eylül's sad glances at him and how shocked she was when she had visited them!

„Demir, how could you not tell me? I brought her into our home, it must been a torture for her, it was all over her face... she... she still loves you! SHE STILL LOVES YOU!"

„She never loved me, please Selin, she left me just with a note of 5 sentences."

„And you called her back with buying the Artemim shares and now she IS back!"

„I don't care"

„Please, now is not the time for evasiveness, sure you cared and I see you still caring! You should have seen your face when you found her in our backyard"

„I was just thrown off a little and anxious over her telling you"

„Telling me what, that you two are still a thing, that she's here to take what is hers?"

„You are overreacting!" the second the words came out of his mouth he regretted them already. 

Her gaze darkened dangerously, her eyes full of tears, the first drops already spilling over her cheeks. This was not what he wanted, it was going all wrong. 

„Selin, please, don't cry! This is not a break up, I love you, only you! I just want you to know, nothing changes between us, she doesn't affect us!"

„She is affecting us all the time already! Stop playing yourself! Be honest, she is the reason for the love ban" she was holding her hands over her eyes and forehead, letting out a little laugh. „She is the reason for the love ban and all what we already suffered! I feel like a fool, God i feel like a fool. Please bring me back to the shore, or I'm gonna jump into the water and swim back!"

„Selin please, don't be ridiculous"

„Don't you know Demir bey, that is obviously my second name!" she started to get out of her boots, belt and jumper, approaching the railing in her top and pants.

„Stop being childish Selin!" he grabbed her arm forcefully, his words sending her in full fury that she began to pull and push him and both of them fell with a loud splash into the water.

After the first shock they swam to the surface, Demir yelling for her in panic, but discovering her immediately beside him. He reached out to hold her but she was still punching his hand and was trying to swim away.

„Stop that, it is several kilometers to the shore and the water is really quite chilly, there is no way that you manage to reach the shore!"

„I don't need you help, I'll manage!"

„Please, Selin, lets get back on the boat, I'm going to bring you back immediately, promise!"

He had to swim around to reach the back where the rope of the anchor was to climb up but was afraid to leave her back, still holding to her waiste. Her pushes had calmed down but she was still trying to look out to the shore, eventually she  understood that it was too far away and gave in.

„Please Selin, lets get back to the boat! We can climb up the rope at the back!"

She stopped her resistance and just swam into the direction of the anchor without a word and started to climb up already when he reached her. He was surprised again of her strength and skills, most probably she really had been able to reach the shore he thought but he just bit his lip and let her get on the boat first.

Back in the dry, Demir took of his shirt and seeked for something to change for Selin too. Reaching her the big fluffy towels and dry clothes he found in the closet.

„Please get out of that wet stuff, your jumper is dry and here have another sweater, I also found wool socks!"

Taking the dry stuff off his hand she was forcefully trying not to look how the water was dripping from his wet hair, face and bare pecs and abs... „FUCK YOU DEMIR ERENDIL, FUCK YOU" she thought.
