Our Love....After Forgiveness

Chapter Seven

Can came out of the shower, getting toweled off and ready to dress. He heard his phone ping with a text. He knew it had to Sanem. He checked his phone, " Are you picking me up this morning, I really miss you." She wrote.  He smiled, and replied, " Of course my love, will be there shortly." Are you hungry."  Sanem smiled, he knew me all to well. She replied, " I'm starving, what are you getting. "  He texted back, " Something you love, bagels and tea." See you in a bit."     Sanem was anxious to she him, she still had the lingering thoughts of her nightmare invading her mind. She didn't like this side of her, so insecure and doubtful. How do you get past something like that.  She wanted to be happy, but there was just somethings that couldn't be fixed. 

He picked up their breakfast and drove to Sanem's, she was watching for him and met him as he pulled up. She jumped in, reaching for him with a hug and a kiss. That was a little unusual for her, since they were still sitting in front her house and in the neighborhood. Can welcomed her actions, returning her affection. He noticed she looked tired, and not her bubbly self. He hoped she wasn't still concerned about Polen. They shared the bagel, he tried joking with her, but she obviously wasn't In the mood for it. What had brought on this action, when they parted the night before, she was happy and excited at their future plans. He couldn't take it anymore, she undoubtedly had a problem and had to find out what it was . He quickly found a place to pull over, he turned the car off and turned around to Sanem. " Ok Sanem, what has brought on this change in you today, tell me now before we go any further. 

Sanem looked down, avoiding his eyes, ashamed to admit the reason for her bad mood. Can was insistent, asking again what was bothering her. She put her hands over her face saying,           " Can, it's embarrassing, I had a dream, no I had a nightmare and I can't get it out of my mind. " She looked at him searching his face for a reaction. He was staring at her waiting for the description of the dream, finally he asked, " Well, what kind of dream did you have? " And please don't tell me it was about Polen." She shrugged her shoulders, tilted her head and with a weak smile said, " I'm sorry Can, I just can't shake this feeling that something is wrong, or something is  going to happen. I really can't explain it" Please don't get upset."  Can leaned his head back against the seat, he sighed, " Ah Sanem, nothings going to happen, I won't let it happen, ok." Just trust me, it was probably just a fluke, that she even knew this guy and told him about the company."  She felt bad, but she knew how she felt and it wasn't easy to overlook her feelings. She knew she had upset him so she raised her hand as if in defeat, " Ok, you win, nothings going to happen, I believe you. She smiled, touched his hand, signaling she was surrendering her fears  for him to take care of. He calmly stroked her hair and stated, " I promise I won't let anything happen, no one will come between us. We are as one, together forever." 

They arrived at the agency, a little late, but Sanem was in a better mood. She made herself comfortable and started making some final revisions to the last few chapters of her book. Can had taken a couple of calls and was doing some research on is laptop. She stood, saying she was going after some tea, would he like some, he accepted. When she returned with the tea she told him they needed to talk. They moved to the sofa to be more comfortable. She started, " I meant to talk to you last night but we got off on another subject, " she said with a smile, " There has been a lot of interest in the new book from several areas. Ahmet has some possible engagements for me, if I'm interested. Can knew this would probably happen but just not this quick. He felt like they had just got back from Greece, and finding themselves. But he couldn't stand in her way. Can enthusiastically asked, " Where is the first book signing, does he know yet." Hope it's somewhere close."  Sanem told him they wanted her back in Thessaloniki for the book sighing of the second book, just like the first book. The launch of the second book would take the characteristic of the first, the excitement was growing steadily. She hoped it wasn't going to interfere with the life plans had discussed the night before. 

Sanem explained that a definite date hadn't been set yet, they were waiting on her consent to move on with their plans. Can's mind was jumbled with everything, when could he talk to Nihat, would he have time to do this before they wanted her to start the tour.  He hadn't had time yet to look for a ring, he didn't  even know where to go first to look for one. Sanem was staring at him, seeing how preoccupied he was, she touched him on the hand. He came back to the moment, he smiled saying, " Yes my love that sounds great, would it be at the same book store?" I'm sorry, what was the date they set."  Sanem frowned at him saying, " Can I didn't say a date, you weren't listening, Can I'm serious, we need to talk about it. "  Can gathered her up in his arms, burying his face in her neck, he breathed in that marvelous scent that drove him crazy. How would be able to let her go, travel about for her book without him. He covered her neck with kisses, she giggled and struggled to get away from him. When they pulled apart, she saw that look that made her weak. How would she be able to let him go, even for a little bit, to promote her book. 

Can finally said, " Sanem we will figure it out, if you have to do this then we will make it work. Try to put it off for a couple of weeks if you can though. You have to give my heart time to get use to the idea of sharing you with the world. He ran his finger down her cheek, making her heart flutter. He smiled slightly then whispered, " You are the most magnificent woman I have ever met, and I would do anything to make you happy." 

" He always said the most perfect things, making her feel like she was all that mattered.                   She shuddered at just the touch of his hand, this feeling was all she needed to be happy...

This love she had for him made her feel she could accomplish anything......

Now, if she could just get Polen to fall off the face of the earth.......That would be Excellent!!
