The patience of the Universe

Finish this-9

„Good evening... am I disturbing something important?"

Selin cleared her throat and answered „Eda, good evening, no of course not, I just bumped into Serkan when I was getting some files out of my office."

„You both are working far too much, do you realize it's 10 a clock? I mean Serkan knew I was busy with family stuff but you shouldn't neglect your fiancée this much."

Selin mouth shrunk into a frozen smile „You are so right, we should take an example by you two love birds." and she gabbed her stuff and left.

Eda had sat down on the opposite end of the table as if she was owning the place, her famous eye brow raised, a coy smile on her lips.

I was just standing there gobsmacked and taking in her little play.

„Did I disturb, were you doing THE TALK? You should have told me, I would have left."

Seriously? She must be mocking me, i could still feel the panic I felt about her misunderstanding the situation when she appeared and she was telling me that I should have told her to leave if I wanted... after she acted all territorial towards Selin and poor girl left running.

I sat down on my end of he table, we were looking at eachother from the 6 ft distance. To have her finally here. looking into my face, an odd serenity covered me, all my restlessness of the day were gone suddenly. She was here and I wasn't afraid anymore to tell her, tell these things I was barely able to understand, but the heart wants what it wants and had no doubts suddenly.

And the feeling must be mutual, how she entered the room and defeated Selin into fleeing, she must be jealous, there was no other explanation.

My heart was racing, half agony half hope. Barely hearable I began „I struggled in vain, I fought against my better judgement, my family's expectation, the inferiority of your social status and the circumstances but..."

She interrupted me, shooting out of her seat „The inferiority of my social status and circumstances??? Please stop talking and stick to your better judgement, there is no need to fight it, it is not welcome! Are you thinking I am expecting some kind of explanation or confession from your? From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and your selfish disdain for the feeling of others made me realize that you're the last man in the world that I could feel attracted to."

We both had stepped towards each other and were now standing almost nose to nose, I could feel her angry hot breath on my face. She was not done.

„You shouldn't overrate a brief lapse of self-control, it meant nothing, the perfect Bodrum night sky, a little booze and lots of Serotonin from the successful meeting was the only reason, you're not the first man I'm kissing in the heat of the moment, and I am sure I am not the first woman you were casually kissing too."

A big, heavy silence followed her words, my cheeks felt like slapped, her words hit hard.

„No you were not the first I was kissing without it meaning anything!"

Her eyes were flashing, her mouth so dangerously near, her angry breath into mine, I was barely holding back, not to claw her face again to devour her already, my humiliation and desire mixed to a very dangerous combination. I saw her eyes jumping form my eyes to my mouth, saw how she was shaken, the moment prolonged to an endless agony, chest rising and falling, breath panting, my face was burning.

She snapped out of it and stepped away to the balcony „So let's not overrate an unimportant accident and continue with the contract, I have the feeling that you are not doing your best to get Selin back!"

There I was standing, thankful for my anger and disappointment suppressing my errection. So I was not the first man she casually kissed, no biggy. I wouldn't be the last man too, we are not living in the stone age, she was a free single woman and i was a free single man. We were having a business arrangement.

I gained my voice back „How am I not doing my best, you stepped in a moment we were having, we may have made up by now and you would've been free tomorrow."

„That sounds beautiful, so she is ready you say, okay let's make a plan for you two for a unexpected get away, let me care for the details and distracting Ferit."

I was just standing in the middle of the big room, the wooden shelves moving around me, no I was not able to reach her speed. I walked cautiously back to my seat and fell into it. Looking into her face, searching for a sign of mock or humor, but there was non.

„Good, set it up, let's finish this."
