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

Chapter Thirty Four

It all started the next day, the planning and decision making. What kind of flowers, how much seating, who to invite. There was a lot of arguing, but Sanem was determined to have it her way. By the end of the day, she had convinced her mother, Milihat and Leila that her way, was the way it would be. Can called her late in the afternoon, " Hello my love," He said, " I have missed you today, how is the planning going." He asked, hoping they had agreed on  things. " Well it was a fight at first, but I finally got through to them." She stated. " The wedding will be in the garden, everything  is already there, the flowers and the lights." So just arranging the seating, and making room for the food, is all we have to do." She said, almost exhausted just taking about it. Can laughed, " Well I'm surprised you got your way, with your mother and Ms.Milihat both involved. " So, are you ready for a break," he asked, " I thought you might come out here for a while, to just relax, maybe have a swim, then I'll take you home." He suggested, wanting her to say yes. She squealed, " Oh Can, that would be great,...a swim too, sounds good." She was barely able to contain herself. They had so little time together, it was like a gift when they could be together outside of work. " I'll be there as soon as I can, oh, I'll fix some dinner for us too, so let your mom know." She hung up the phone, and went running down the stairs, " Mom, Can is coming to get me and we will have dinner at his house." She said, her face beaming. Her moms first reaction was to say, "no" but she changed her mind after a second, " Ok my dear, don't be out to late, you still have work tomorrow." Her heart saddened at the thought of letting go. Sanem smiled, and gave her mom a hug, she hurried upstairs to grab her stuff. 

The news of her engagement had already made its rounds in the neighborhood. The gossip never stopped, not there, Sanem was the talk of the town. It had even made it to Adin and his family. Adin was furious at the news, " So she's going to marry that man,  huh, I can see she ignored the picture that I brought her." He thought, that feeling of humiliation stirring his anger, "She wasn't worth it anyway." He scoffed. He thought it better to leave it alone, then cause anymore of a scene. A confrontation with Can Divit was something he hadn't planned on and he was certain it would not be in his best interest. The risk of his father finding out about what he had done was still something he worried about, and he didn't need anything upsetting his fathers plan to retire and leave the business to him. But the thought of putting Divit in his place did seem appealing to him.  

The evening at Cans was a welcome break in their routine, they needed to this time to make their plans. Can told her all she would need to do to get ready for the trip. It was a lot, and it would be hard to pack light for a trip like that. So much to do, the wedding was a simple affair, with just family, and a reception to follow with some food. Of course, her mom and her friends would see to the food. They both had agreed on a simple wedding a while back, it was just keeping her mother in line that would be the problem.

The drive to her house made him realize how much he missed her when she wasn't with him,       " Sanem, we need to talk about where you would like to live when we come back, it can be anywhere you want, but just not with your parents or my dad." He said, " we will start our lives together, in our own home. So we probably need to start looking tomorrow, what do you think." He asked, eager to take that step. She smiled, " I agree, and yes, we can talk to a real estate agent and get things going." He leaned over and gave her a kiss, " I can't wait, for you to be my wife. Things will be magical, when it's just you and me. It doesn't matter where we are, if we're together, that's all we need." He said, looking at her with that demanding gaze of desire. She felt herself getting warm, the same feeling she had every time he looked at her like that. She wanted to give herself to him so badly, but she was determined to wait for him until they were man and wife. It was something she wanted to do for herself.  She wanted Can to show her how to love, to make her want to love, to fill her with that happiness that comes only from that special union between a husband and wife. So she would wait, she returned the kiss, " It won't be long my love, and just think how wonderful it will be." She whispered, nibbling on his ear lobe. The reaction to that startled her, he moaned and pulled her closer to him. " Sanem, you drive me over the edge, I not sure if I can control it." He said, with a growl in his voice. She backed away,     " Can, we have to." She stated, " it's just a short time, my love." He touched his forehead to hers, breathing deeply, " You're right, sweetheart." He said, taking a minute to control himself. A quick kiss on the cheek and she was out the door and going in her house, she stopped at the door, turned and waved to him. He waved back giving her a big smile.

When he arrived home, Emre was there, " Well how did the engagement go, is everything set." He asked. Can nodded, "Yes, it all went well, and they are planning the wedding for three weeks, September 19th, so don't make any plans or take off on some love fest that day. I want you to be there, ok."  He spouted, slapping him on the back. Emre laughed, " Abi, I wouldn't miss it for the world....you....getting married, it will almost be a national holiday." He joked. Can smiled, "Emre I happier than I've ever been in my life. In fact I'm not sure if I even knew what happy was until now." He replied, staring off into space. But I need your help with something, are you willing to help me." He asked, pleading with his eyes. Emre knew he would do anything for his brother, " Sure, what do you need." He asked. " I need you to come with me tomorrow for a while, if you can. I need to show you something." He said, being mysterious. Emre agreed to go with him before work. Can would have to make an excuse to Sanem for not picking her up, but this had to be done quickly. 

Her mother was still in the planning mode when she got home. Leila met her at the door, rolling her eyes, " Sanem, they are still at it, mom and Milihat, going over the food menu like the queen of England is coming to your wedding." She laughed, rushing her away to her room. She went in and curled up on the bed with her sister. " How was you evening, was Azizbey there, what about Emrebey, was he there?" She asked, with a spark In her eyes. " No Abla, we were all alone, it was so romantic." She said, falling back on her bed. She knew her sister was interested in Emre, but she also knew how he was, quite the womanizer, and she didn't want her to get caught up in his games. Leila felt a pang of jealousy knowing that Emre was probably out with some gorgeous model like woman, but I it still didn't keep her from dreaming. Sane was telling her of their plans to get with a real estate agent to start looking for a house, " He wants us to have our own home to come back to." She said, placing his hands over her heart, " He is so sweet." She replied, smiling.

" Our own home....just for us to be alone in....

" I'm so scared,......but never have I wanted anything more in my life......
