Promises, Guns, and French Kisses

07 I can't help but fell for you

Alev's POV

Are you okay?- Ates's voice pulled me out of my thoughts-you're unusually quiet

Didn't get a lot of sleep last night, that's all-I said as I look through the window

I'm sorry about last night- he said and I glance at him- you couldn't sleep in your bed because of us

No, that's not the reason why I didn't sleep last night -I shake my head-I just had a lot of things on my mind

I know we don't know each other that long-he said and I gave him a small smile- if there's something I can help with feel free to tell me

Thank you- I said with a small smile as we park in front of the house where we're staying

Ece and Kaan, a newly married couple who is moving in their first home together-he repeated our backstory one more time as we got out of the car-Ece is a journalist and Kaan is an architect, they just came back from America.

We have an audience-I whispered as he took the suitcase from my hand 

Good morning, you must be the new owners- one of the old ladies said and I smile

Yes, we just moved in- I said as I extended my hand - I'm Ece, and this is my husband Kaan

I'm Reyhan and this is Fatma-she introduced herself- we're your neighbors 

How long have you two been married?- Fatma asked looking at Ates

A little over two months now-he said as he gave me a small smile and put his hand on my waist

I'm so happy you're going to be our new neighbors- Fatma said as she and Reyhan shared a look- the people who lived here before you were not good people, there was a rumor that they were making drugs inside the house

Don't scare the kids away-Reyhan said looking at Fatma-don't worry kids that was just a rumor

I hope so- I whispered looking at them and then at Ates

If you need anything feel free to ask-they said and we returned them a smile 

You deserve an Oscar- he whispered in my ear as we started walking away from them

I'm good at what I do, what can I say- I said with a smile

We need to check and see if that rumor is true-he asked as he unlocked the door and we entered inside

 I could never see myself living in a house like this- I said as I walked around the house

Why?-he asked with a confused look as he took a seat on the couch

I don't know- I lied which he obviously caught on but didn't ask anything

Anyways are you hungry? I can make us something to eat- he said and I smile at that

I'm starving actually- I said as I follow him towards the kitchen

The best way to a girl's heart is with compliments and pancakes-he said with a smirk

Are you trying to get to my heart?- I asked with a smile

Maybe- he playfully said

I know all of your tactics and they don't work on me anymore-I said as I stole a chocolate bar from one of the shopping bags we brought

So you're telling me I don't have a chance with you- he said as he glances at me

I never said that -I said with a smile- we were talking about the tactics you use on women, not about your chances with me
