A Night in Turkey

Chapter 38

Can was turned off the stove and covered his pan with some foil and transferred it to the oven. Today had been long. Much had happened which he was excited to share with Selena, but not tonight. He'll tell her everything in good time. 

He gazed past the kitchen counter to the Minnie Mouse clock on the wall. He smiled. Somehow such an elegant woman, with such a free spirit, with an air of independence somehow had a Minnie Mouse clock. She never ceased to amaze him. 

Selena would be back any minute now. Can had left with a set of spare keys to her apartment in the morning because he already knew he was going to cook his woman some dinner tonight. And right on time, he heard a metallic click of a lock and saw as Selena entered with an arm full of flowers, the other with some grocery bags, her purse strung around her neck and a bunch of keys in her mouth.  

"Carrying keys in your mouth is unsanitary babe." Hearing him, she gave such a start that the keys fell on poor Baxter who had gone to greet his owner and the groceries were about to fly away but she saved them just in time. 

"What.. the... fuck.." she said panting as Can extracted the groceries from her hands and set them on the counter. 

"Surprise!" he said grinning but Selena just narrowed her eyes, trying to look annoyed but a moment later she smiled, losing the battle to stay grumpy. 

Can walked towards her and kissed her deeply, pulling her off the floor. She loved kissing him like that. It was as if he owned her. He claimed her mouth but she didn't let him just take control. After a while it was she who was in charge. 

"I could kiss you all day but I have these flowers to tend to." said Selena.

Can growled. "Are they more important?" he asked pouting his lips. Could he be more adorable?

"They were from someone important." 

"Really?" he said advancing towards her. "That important person needs to be kissed don't you think?"

An alarm went in the kitchen, announcing that the meat was done. Can sighed.

"You take care of the flowers while I take care of the steak."

"Steak?"

Selena followed Can to the kitchen and was surprised to see a table covered with delicious food and decorated with candles. She also saw a bottle of champagne perched on an ice bucket. Can went to the oven and removed a pan, followed by his gracefully cutting and plating of a steak. Was he secretly a chef or something?

As she looked over at the table again something rose inside her, warm and heavy and stuck in her throat. She couldn't help as a tiny drop of tear rolled down her cheek. She suddenly felt Can's warm body behind her. He kissed her lightly on her cheek, wiping away at the tear that had fallen. 

"Melegim means my angel." he whispered. "You are my angel, babe."

"I.. I don't know what to say." she said turning around. 

"You don't have to say anything. Let's eat." he said kissing her again and guiding her to the table. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selena had practically licked the plate. 

"The food was amazing Can!!" she said excitedly.

"I am happy that you liked it. I wanted to ask you something? Did you ask for vacation?"

"Oh yes! I forgot to tell you. I did. And guess what, they gave me a vacation. I hadn't expected it to go so smoothly."  

"Wow. That's great. So how was work?"

"I forgot to tell you about Randall. He was our boss' son. He faked being a student, trying to get an internship. He was playing "undercover boss", as he said" 

"Really? I was suspicious he had something to hide but I hadn't guessed it would be something like this." 

Can became thoughtful. Had he mistaken the veiled hostility that he portrayed towards Can, as if he had stolen something of his. He looked at Selena as if she was his. 

"That wasn't even the worst part of it." Can looked up. There was more?

"He took me off your campaign and he handed me another project." There it was. Can's suspicions had been correct. Randall wanted his woman and he was trying to drive him away from her. 

"Is there something for dessert? I feel like some chocolate ice cream."

Can dropped his thoughts and looked at her with a grin. 

"You bet." 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Can had already planned everything. Omar had helped him a lot to pull off his surprise for Selena. He made a mental note of everything that was left to do and was surprised to see that there was hardly anything left.

He looked at the bed, where Selena was sleeping. Her bare back glistening in the moonlight entering the room through a window. She was so beautiful and perfect. He hoped she would like his surprise, if not he would be in some serious shit. 

It was time for him to get some sleep. They had a long day tomorrow. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selena was woken up by a kiss. It was from none other than 'the Can Yaman'. If she wasn't facing problems in office, she would have sworn it was a dream and not the reality. She opened her eyes sleepily to find a very sexy naked man by her side. 

"Good Morning." she said brushing his hair away from his eyes. 

"Good morning askim. We need to hurry."

"Hurry?"

"I have a surprise for you." 

"Another surprise?" she asked, her eyes widening. 

"Unhuh." he said looking at her lips. He kissed her again this time even longer. 

"We should shower together, to save some time. We need to reach there by 11:00 am." 

"Where?"

"That's a secret." he said getting up and picking Selena up in his arms. They were both naked and their eyes roamed all over each other's bodies. 

"Fuck it. We'll be late." said Can and Selena giggled while Can carried her to the bathroom all the while kissing her. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selena was ready and practically skipping with excitement. She had tried to wiggle out a lot of information from Can while in shower. She had been creative and used all her might to fish out some tidbit of information but the man would not budge. 

"Where are we going? Give me some clue."

"Nope. And before we go you have to wear a blindfold."

"What? You're kidding right?"

"No my angel."

"You're serious?"

"Yep."

"Shit." said Selena.
