Everywhere

Seninle Güzel

SELIN POV

The sky was a beautiful shade of light blue, white cotton like clouds were speckled on it, like an oleo painting. There were beautiful big trees that decorated the picture we were staring. The site was astonishing, beautiful wooden cabins could be seen, white smoke coming from their chimneys. A beautiful river boarded the land, so close you could hear the water crashing into the rocks. The scent of the forest invading our senses.

"Çok güzel , değil mi?" – I said to Aslı, she was looking around astonished and clearly excited.

The moment we had gotten out of the car, Aslı had taken my hand and made me follow her so we could look around. She was so cheerful, she kept pointing at different things that she wanted to do later and jumping from the excitement of the adventures that awaited for us. We had left Demir behind to deal with registration and luggage, he was probably waiting for us now.

"Çok güzel !!" – Aslı said hopping in her place.

"Tamam prenses, but we have to back to your dad now, he must be waiting for us" – I caressed her face softly while she stared at me with dreamy eyes.

We walked hand in hand towards the reception. I loved how they had designed this place, everything was made out of woods that matched the trees around, big beautiful windows let the light in and gave an amazing view of the forest, from the high wooden ceiling hung a grand chandelier, and there were beautiful flowers decorating the place.

"Beyefendi, I understand, but the school made the reservation of 12 cabins for each of it's students' families. You're the Erendil family, so we have one cabin reserved for you, your wife and your kid.

"Demir? What happened?" – Demir was on the counter arguing with the receptionist when I walked to his side. Aslı stayed watching the fishes of the big round fish aquarium in the corner of the salon.

"Leyla hanım happened, she booked only one cabin for the three of us" – Nee?! I sighed; we should have seen it coming.

"Hmm affedersin, is there a way we could pay for an additional room, do you have any available?" – I asked trying to find a solution for this soon to be mess.

"Özür dilerim hanımefendi, all cabin's are booked for the weekend. The weather is getting warmer and now families are coming to enjoy family weekends out. Are you going to take the cabin we have for you, or should I cancel the reservation?"

I looked at Demir and he looked at me. If we took it, it would mean he and I would have to spent the weekend sharing a room...together, I didn't think it was a good idea, I could barely breath when he was standing in front of me, how was I going to manage sleeping beside him.

"What do we do?" – Demir asked me softly but I didn't answer him, instead I turned towards the receptionist.

"Beyefendi, I'm sorry to bother, do you think you could call a taxi for me?"

"Nereye?" – Demir's voice went up a notch, but I refused to look at him, this was such a dangerous territory for me. Demir might still be figuring out his feelings, but I knew mines very clearly, I knew that if I let myself to be that close to him, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back, and would end up just ruining everything we already had. I knew how much I craved for him, how much my soul called for him, and I feared so much that if I threw myself to him, he might not be ready to catch me yet. The fall would hurt too much... so I panicked.

"Back to the city, I'll see you both when you come back, don't worry. This was meant for you not for me, it's okay, I'll just go back" – I gave him a reassuring smile when I answered and then turned around to grab my suitcase. His fingers closed in my wrist stopping me from leaving.
