DEMIR POV

The place was beautiful and huge! There were at least a thousand different types of plants here, the only-green ones where outside while the flowers were inside. I came in looking for the owner but suddenly got lost in the thousands scents that flooded the place. It felt like a mini heaven and each flower was prettier than the next one. It gave me a peaceful feeling as well which was weird for me, peace was a feeling I reserved for when I was with my daughter only.

"Merhaba"- Between the rows of flowers a young woman showed up, appearing almost out of nothing, she was smiling warmly and excitedly.

I stared at her.

My breath got caught for a moment, while I regarded her smile a confusing feeling arose inside me, but it was a feeling I couldn't really place - "Yıldızlar'a hoşgeldiniz, can I help you with something?"

I looked away from her and again to the surrounding flowers - "Evet, I'm looking for the owner, I have a last minute meeting with her" - When I looked back at the woman the weird feeling was still there but then it was better to simply ignore it, must be the place that made me feel like that.

"You must be Demir then" - She reached her hand towards me - "Memnun oldum, ben Selin Sever, the owner"

I looked at her extended hand for a second before I reached to shake it -"Memnun oldum"

The moment our skins met, the unplaceable feeling intensified, it moved from my skin towards my stomach, electrifying everything in its path. What was that that I was feeling? So strange... when I realized my hand was still holding the woman's, I took it away as fast as I could. When I looked at her eyes, she was staring back at me with so much intensity, her hand was still in between us, but after a couple more of seconds she slowly took it away too. There was a small pause before she spoke again.

"Haydi! gidelim - She said recovering her original excitement.

"Pardon, Nereye?" - I was still thinking about the weird feeling when she spoke and I think I missed something.

"To show you the place! - She said nonchalantly.

"Mm, thank you, maybe another moment, I'm quite in a hurry so it'd be better if we discussed work right away"

She giggled at me. Why was she giggling again? Had I said something funny? Why was I feeling weird with all this?

"That's why I'll show you the place silly!" - her shoulders rose and went down in a carefree manner and then she started walking - "It's a beautiful day today, don't you think? My flowers are welcoming the warm weather of these days.

"Oh please, just Selin" -

"Selin hanım, do you think we could go to a meeting room? So we could discuss the details calmly?"
