I'm sooo late! His gonna kill me!! Uff Sakız, do you had to choose today to run away again?! I got to Artemim at 9:10am, which meant I was 10 minutes late and I knew he was gonna be waiting inside there with a murdering stare.
"Günaydın Azmiye!!"
"Kız koş! They're in the meeting room!" - I passed running while throwing her flying kisses with my hands as she did the same.
I rushed all the way to the meeting room and was warmly welcomed by the 'Don't-even-think-about-Love' sign hanging beautifully at the window wall. Great! ... Like I needed something to remind me.

"You're late" - He didn't even look at me, he was reading a file and kept reading it all my way to my sit.
"Gerçekten mi ? Fark etmedim" - I said faking nonchalance as much as I could and it seemed I hit a nerve cause he finally looked at me over his file. We held each other eyes having a silent battle through it. These past days we had developed this rare ability with which we could practically argue inside our heads.
-kurallar ! Selin hanım! Kurallar ! ... -What was I supposed to do! Sakız ran away again! You know she does that frequently -Gerçekten mi? I was wondering why was I always woken up by a goat's bleating on my yard! -yaaaaaa kızım benim ne kadar tatlı, değil mi?
I had my heart eyes and he had his murderer eyes when Ayda coughed. I tuned out from our wordless-casual- routine bickering to realize we had eyes all over us. He seemed to realize the same and moved uncomfortably on his sit before starting the meeting.
We had been working together for half a month now and though we bickered a lot (something I was allowed to when it was work related) we also had come up with brilliant ideas together, the team had been working hard to put those ideas in 3d image templates that were looking great.
We argued at home too, since my house was besides his we shared a common fence and Sakız loved to jump over it to go eat in Demir's yard, for some reason the grass over there tasted better for her, so Demir would be knocking at my door at 5am telling, or better arguing, about my runaway goat. Then of course he'd drop Aslı at my ballet studio and you know only to not lose the habit, we'd find something to argue about but only when Aslı was not watching.
But I'm not gonna lie, I was enjoying it, at some point of our constant bickering we would end up laughing about something the other said. Though when he realized his smile and/or laugh he would put a serious face again and pretend it never happened. Still it did and I discovered he had a beautiful smile, the corners of his mouth would go slightly up and his eyes would wrinkle a little, warmness climbing from his lips towards his eyes. I looked forward to those moments even if they weren't often.
"Selin hanım? - Allah help me, what did he say?
"Mmmm? - I try to cover the best way I could I had no idea what had been said.
