We Found the Real Thing....Our LovePart 2 of " Is This the Real Thing"

Chapter Seventeen

By mid-morning she had helped everyone in the office in one way or another. Copies for this one and running copy to Ms. Deren's office for approval, then bringing everyone their coffee to tea. She hadn't sat down all morning, so she decided to take tea, and visit Can for a minute. When she got to the door, she could see he was buried in his computer, and she hated to disturb him, but she tapped on his door anyway. He jerked his head up, then smiled, he motioned for her to come in, " Sanem, you don't have to knock, I'm never to busy to see you." He said pulling her closer to him as she set his tea on his desk. " I missed you, what took you so long to come with my tea." He asked, bringing his face up next to hers, breathing in her  smell. " You make me feel so good, I don't know what I would do if you weren't here everyday." He whispered in her ear. In an instant she was on fire, and shivering at the same time. " Can, we're going to get caught again, please be careful." I'm really not in the mood to be chastised by Ms. Deren again. She said, wrinkling her forehead. " What do you mean," he asked quickly, sitting back to see her face. Sanem knew she probably shouldn't have said anything, but that just slipped out. " Oh, it's nothing, " she replied quickly, ready to move on the conversation. " Whoa,whoa,whoa, wait a minute, you can't get by that so quickly, now tell me what you meant." Has she said something to you about us." He asked, his face taking on that serious look. Sanem could feel her face turn red, " Can, you can't go say anything to her, or it will just be worse on me." She said, pleading with her eyes. His curiosity was peaked now, " I'm not, just say what she has said to you." Please. He spouted. 

Sanem knew she would have to tell him, but she also knew what would happen when she did.     " She said I wasn't following the companies code of conduct, by flirting around with you and that you had a girlfriend already." She stated, looking down at the floor. Can looked puzzled,         " What code of conduct,....we don't have any such thing here, we never did." He spouted, feeling his anger grow.  " What is she trying to do,...I'm sorry Sanem, but I have to talk to her about this." He spewed. " No Can don't please, it will only make it worse, I called her out on it, and told her there was nothing like that in the company rules." She replied, begging him with her eyes. He calmed down a bit, but still couldn't believe Deren would do something like that. He was confused, " Why was everyone thinking that he was still with Polen, he thought he had made it  clear, they were split up and no longer a couple. This was the final straw, his decision to leave the agency was even more clear to him now, and if he could take Sanem with him, that would  be even better. " Come on my dear, let's have out tea, and not worry about Ms. Deren," she said leading him to the sofa. He sat down beside her, being that close to her calmed him down, but also made him want her more, just to touch her, If it was only her hand, it made him feel better. 

What a day it had been, he thought, as he shut down his laptop and prepared to leave. He went to the door looking for Sanem, he wanted to take her home, so he could spend at little bit more time with her. He didn't see her, but motioned CeyCey to come to his door, " Do you know where Sanem is, she hasn't left already has she." He asked, hoping he would say no. " Canbey, I saw her going to the archive room with a bunch of files from Ms. Deren's office, so she's probably still there." He Informed him. " Thanks," he said, heading towards the steps. When he got close to the door, he could hear her talking, " Sanem, are you ok, who are you talking to." Can asked, as he entered the door. She jerked around, startled. " Oh, Can you scared me, I'm just talking to myself." She replied. Can smiled, he loved her quirkiness, " I'm ready to leave and I want to give you a ride home, are you ready." He asked. She sighed, " No, Ms. Deren gave me all these files to update and of course, they have to be done before I leave." She stated, flopping down in the chair behind the table. Can looked at the files, " These are old files, why do you need to do them now." He asked. Sanem shrugged her shoulders, " Because it's my job." She stated. Can cringed,     " There's no reason you have to do these tonight, it's not important." He spouted. " Come on let's go, I'll take you home." First do you want to get something to eat." He asked, begging her with his eyes. Sanem was hesitant, she knew she would have to answer to Ms.Deren in the morning, but she couldn't refuse him when he looked at her like that. " Sure, but let me call my mom first, just to let her know." She said. 

She let her mom know she wouldn't be there for dinner, but she wouldn't be out late. Her and Can made their way out of the agency and to his car, " Where are we going Can," she asked, her stomach growling. " I thought I would take you to that fish place at the pier we went to before, is that ok." He asked, with a smile. She loved that place, the food was so good. " Oh good, that sounds great." She exclaimed, her eyes big. She smiled inside, " We have a place," she thought, a place that we have been to before, like a real couple." She said in her mind. She loved the atmosphere there, it was so quaint and original, not fancy or boring. The food was always great, they laughed and talked about their lives as they grew up. She really didn't know that Can grew up without his mom, and that made her feel bad. Can covered it up like it never happened, and she could see he didn't want to talk about it, so she moved away from subject. The time had flown by and before she knew it, it was time for her to get home. This was the time she hated the most....their goodnights.

He stopped outside of the neighborhood, so they could have a minute to say a proper goodnight, with a kiss. He held her hand, looking into her eyes, " Sanem, I don't like saying goodbye to you, you know that don't you, I think we should figure out a way for us not to have to." He said leaning in close to her. He kissed her cheek, " What do you think about us getting married," He whispered into her ear. " I will do everything in your traditional way, just like your parents want me to." He leaned back, looking in her eyes with desire for her that made her shudder. " What do you say?"........

Her breath was gone, no words would form......but her eyes rimmed with tears

After a minute, she said, " My love, nothing would make me happier, nothing could be more right....then to be your wife...
