Torn Between Two (Only SHORT chapters!)

Relief

Why was it so important for him that she wasn't scared of him?

This woman he barely knew was already affected him more 

than he wanted to admit to himself.

Sanem could only look at him.

Can's hands felt so strong and yet so gentle on her shoulders.

His question brought out a turmoil inside of her.

If she was scared of him?

Yes, she was scared, scared of her feelings for him,

scared how he would react if he found out what she was,

who she was,

what she had caused,

how much pain he had felt because of her.

And the only thing she could bring out to say was,

"no, I'm not scared of you"

The relief on Can's face was something Sanem saw right away.

There were still tears in her eyes,

she felt sad because she felt a different kind of scared, 

a different kind of fear,

the fear to lose him, the fear that she didn't want to end 

this time she had with him although she knew 

that it was unavoidable that they would never see 

each other again after she has healed.

When Can saw that she had still tears in her eyes,

he couldn't resist to cup her face.

His big hands lay tender on her cheeks.

"Why the tears, Sanem?"

And gently wiped the tears away

who were rolling slowly down over her cheeks.

"No tears, please"

Why did it hurt him to see her cry?

And why felt every part he touched 

of her skin like velvet?

Sanem nodded once, "you're right, no tears"

Can didn't know why she cried however there was again 

a feeling of relief that she didn't cry anymore.

His hands were on her face, Can's eyes were on her lips,

her soft moist lips and just before 

he wanted to rubb softly his thumb over them

Can took quickly a step back, dropping his hands to his sides

and looked the other way.

What was he doing?
