Chapter 49

Hudson's POV:

"I'm really sorry about that. I didn't mean to be disrespectful or something but it just came over me..." I interrupt him immediately.

"Hudson, I like the way you defend my daughter. That shows me that you really love her and won't let anybody heart Asli. And I hope you won't hurt her too." He surprises me by saying that.

"Wait, so you aren't mad at me?" I ask to be sure what he just said.

"No, we're not mad." He answers still with the same annoyed look.

"That means I am allowed to be with your daughter?" I ask hoping he answers just like the scenario I already had in my head.

"For now, yes. But that's still not enough, you can prove us more." He says and I'm halfway relieved.

Osman calls his sons and they immediately show up. I still am surprised about how fast they get for their father. I smile at Amar as a thank you. And he closes his eyes as a you're welcome and smiles back. Samir shows me a thumb up and we fist bump.

Later at noon Meredith finally shows up. She's been out with Kerem the whole morning Ashley told me. Does he probably know about her feelings? You know what... I have to stop thinking about that or Ashley gets mad at me.

"Hello, everybody." She says loudly when she enters the house. She walks upstairs and after some minutes she comes into the living room.

"Osman amça, nasil sin?!" She says surprised when she sees Meredith's father.

"Oho Meredith kizim, Allah sükür iyim sen nasil sin?" He says happily. Like for real he just smiled and stood up to hug my sister. But what I more wonder is, how didn't I know Meredith can speak Turkish?

As I see Ashley I get her attention and try to ask her what they're saying with eye signs. She gets it and says I should look at me phone. Ashley gets hers out and texts me.

*Are you surprised about Meredith's Turkish skills?* She texts and I look at her and nod. She chuckles silently and I smile. I love this view of her.

*What did they say?* I text to her.

*She just asked how he is and he asked her back, nothing more.* She immediately replies.

*I think your father wouldn't mind if you teach me Turkish in future.* I text and smile at her waiting for her reaction. First when she reads it she looks confused but at least her eyes get wide and she smiles at me.

*Wait, does that mean what I think?* She asks and looks curious at me.

*Well, kind of. I have the allowance for now but still I have to prove more of myself. I guess, yesterdays talk with your brother helped me a lot.* I text and she her smile at me after she reads that is filled with pride.

"Hudson, do you want to come with us?" Suddenly, Samir asks me. Everyone is looking at me and I don't know what to say.

"Umm... sure, why not?" At least I say nervously. With no freaking idea where the hell they want to go. When everyone is doing their thing and I don't get much attention I move my arm against Samir's.

"Where are we even going?" I ask him silently.

"Kerem is around and asked Amar if we want to go out. And I recognized you and Ashley texting so I allowed myself a little joke on you, abi." He chuckles quietly. I don't understand the last thing he called me but I think that is something good. I heard Ashley call them that a lot.

"You caught me, Samir." I join him and we start to laugh louder so everybody else noticed. Actually I would be mad because Kerem is with us but I don't want to be mad today.

"Call me, Abi. That means brother in Turkish." He says proudly. I'm also proud at myself and nod at him as an agreement.

Ashley's POV:

When I get upstairs with Meredith after the guys left she immediately closes my bedroom door after we enter. She looks excited and I already know why.

"Tell me what happened!" She says to me.

"I will but you tell me first!" I counter. She was out with her childhood crush, please I'm excited too.

"Ok, alright. I will. So, ... We went to the Zurich main station and talked about anything. We even talked a lot about you and Hudson's relationship and he really supports you guys. And then... I tried to figure out his signs..."

"Which signs?" I ask playfully smiling.

"I don't know. I just tried to understand how I feel and how he feels..."

"Aaaand?" I say curiously.

"Well, I'm not sure but it seems like he likes me too but maybe not like I do like him." Meredith says confused. I'm confused too but Kerem is really hard to understand how he feels. He's smiling 24/7 and never gets really annoyed of anything.

"So, you like someone, huh?" My mother enters my room and says playfully.

No way!
