Can POV

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing and watch you smile while you are sleeping.
While you are far away and dreaming. I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.
I could stay lost in this moment forever.
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure.

I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep...'Cause I'd miss you and I don't want to miss a thing when I am with you.

I don't know how long I was awake until I finally fell asleep. The only thing I know is that I have never had a more peaceful night than this one. I never felt that I belonged somewhere in this world more than I do now.

I was always making jokes about my friends when they would tell me all about their girls and how much they loved them and wanted to spend time together. I never understood it, until now.

Some days, the whole world seems upside down. And then somehow, improbably, and when you least expect it, the world rights itself again.

We fell asleep in each other's arms and when I opened my eyes I saw the most perfect angel sleeping next to me. We were both lying on the side, our noses touching and our legs entangled in each other.

I didn't want to wake her but I wanted to kiss her really bad. I brushed my nose slightly against hers and I sensed that she is waking up slowly. I closed my eyes fast and pretended to be sleeping. I had to fight real hard with myself not to laugh.

She moved her right hand which was laying on my back and moved up to my hair and then to my eyebrows. I love this close contact and that she wasn't afraid to show affection. Her thumbs went lower to my lips where they stopped. I felt her coming closer and finally I got that kiss I was waiting for. I couldn't hold my smile any longer and I kissed her back.

"Günaydin"

"Günaydin Can. Where you pretending to be asleep?"

"Hmm...is it bad?"

"Not at all. I would probably have done the same."

"Are you hungry? I hear your stomach rumble."

"Yeah that happens often when you are near me."

I laughed at her and we went to the bathroom to brush our teeth and down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Just so you know, I am not a master chef in the kitchen like my mom. I can prepare really good cay and some decent dishes but nothing fancy. I don't have so much time to learn cooking, even though I would like to."

"I can't imagine there is something you can't do well. Let's prepare some eggs and sucuk, how does that sound?"

Sanem POV

"Hmm Can...this is so delicious. I didn't know you can cook?"

"I don't cook often but I know some dished here and there. I helped my mom when I was younger. And when I was abroad or in some areas where you couldn't go to a restaurant or order food, you had to know how to cook in order to have something decent for dinner. I learned a lot when I was on my own."

"I need to see that with my own eyes. You will have to cook dinner for me once."

"With pleasure."

We cleaned everything up and went outside to sit in the backyard. I had something I wanted to talk to him about.

"Soo Can. There is something I want to talk to you about." I said nervously. Not knowing exactly how to start the conversation.

"Everything ok? Did you regret anything that has happened between us?" he asked worried.
