Chapter 15- The Cheek of this man !

Sanem was irritated . Apparently her curt responses and sarcasm were falling on deaf ears as the pair infront of her were reminiscing on the good old days , together.
Something about a bar , back in Italy , the scowl on Sanems face was a sight to see indeed !, the girl couldn't disguise her bordem even if she wanted to .
I've just got him and already girls are all over him ! you had to pick the charmer didn't you Sanem ! her thoughts tormented her .

The three musketeers had spent the past hour walking through the various styles of apartments the building had to offer , Sanem made a mental note to changing the tiles in there bathroom , she had seen enough marble to last her a lifetime .
"Remember when enrique spilt the beer all over the waitress ."Sevda laughed obnoxiously .
A customer service worker being the butt of this ladies jokes left a bad taste in Sanems mouth .

"How could I forget the poor girl nearly cried !" .
Can used there joint fingers to wipe away his tears from laughter .
The cheek of this man !
Sanem looked at him dumbfounded , instinctively yanking her hand out of his like he was on fire .
Can gave her a questioning look to which she rolled her eyes .

"So how much did you say you were selling for ! I can't let my boyfriend be blind sighted by a bad deal"
Sanem interrupted , taking a step back  from where she was next to him . She stood with her shoulders stocked and turned up her chin , which enhanced her sculpted cheek bones . While she thought she was being nonchalant, insecurity oozed out of her sharp gaze, her arms were crossed , emulating the exact stance her mother used with her and Leyla when she was irritated , which usually ended with a shoe to the head , quite literally .
I should give it a try it might just wipe the smug look  off her face  she thought .

"Cancim did we not agree on 10 ?". Sevda questioned , to which he nodded , a phone call interrupted there exchanging.
"Ay allahim cok tessekur ederim!" . Sanem sighed  dramatically , turning to link her arms with her man as they followed the silky ginger pony tale swaying infront of them as Can embraced her change in tune .
"10k I would've thought it would be worth more " . Sanem looked up at him in question.
"10 million Canim" . He said humouressly , bopping her nose .
  "şaka yapıyorsun şu an " she deadpanned .
"You didn't tell me you were rich rich lan ! ."
Sanem exclaimed slapping his arm , at this point he was so used to her dramatics that this didn't shock him . He simply rolled his eyes , throwing an arm over her shoulders as they made it to the car .

Sanem let the pair say their  goodbyes as she retouched her lipgloss and  doused herself in her signiture scent , Dior jadore . She decided she'd give them some time , after all patience was a virtue Sanem held to a high regard .

"This farewell is taking far too long" she muttered to herself rolling down the passenger window while adjusting his sunglasses she found in the back seat on her nose bridge .
"Hayatim are you coming ? I have to head back leyla made dinner for us " . The sweet tone in her voice made Can smile as Sevdas mouth visably twitched , the smug look she was wearing all afternoon disappeared , a frown in its place  .
"Sevda I will keep you updated canim " Can kissed her cheek politely before making his way to the drivers seat .

"Since when did leyla know how to cook" Can questioned as he reversed the car expertly , throwing an arm around Sanems seat . She was in awe of him . Watching her man in all his glory reignited  the butterflies in her stomach , something that was starting to become a normalcy . From his scruffy beard to the way the v neck complimented his muscular biceps , she could look at him all day , he was so intoxicating ,which made him dangerous.
In her 20 odd  years of life Sanem had never felt an attraction like this before , she was drawn to him like a moth to a flame .
But he didn't have to know that just yet .

Was it bad to feel so deeply for a person so early on in a relationship? she questioned herself , tearing her eyes away from him to gaze out of the window , watching the world go bye her thoughts however were at a stand still , trained on him.
"So what did you think then is it a good investment"
Can asked making idol conversation as her silence felt foreign , he  wanted to hear her voice , hear what she had to say .

"I think its very modern , a smart business move as its more stylish it will attract a different audience , where as our flat is more homely , more suited to families "
"You dont think families can live in modern homes ?" Can wondered .

"No I think there is a difference between a house and a home , for example having warmer colours and wooden floors to me makes a house warmer , in our neighbourhood everyones house is painted in bright colours and every house has a fire place , Anne would always say its the little touches that make a house a home ".
Sanem recalled softly , she felt a familiar lump form in her throat , as childhood memories of her ayhan osman and leyla chasing each other around Dedes arm chair flashed in her mind .

"Psht! fistiklar sit down or no baklava for you ! "
Her sweet grandad , oh how she missed him and his stories .
She felt a hand grip hers slowly moving their  joint hands to the gear stick .
"You miss home ?" Can spoke softly .

"Yeah I was just thinking about my grandad, allah rahmetsin" Sanem sniffed , this caught Cans attention as he squeezed their joined hands .
"May god rest his soul , what was he like " Can questioned as he pulled up to there apartment , the car coming to a steady halt .
He took the key out of the car and turned to face her giving her hand a warm rub and soft peck .
"He was just dede, always making me smile even if it it meant pretending to be Spider-Man with me crawling on the floor " . She chuckled at the fond memory cracking a smile that passed onto cans face .

"He was my whole world , and then one day he just wasn't here anymore and I was so upset , so upset at him for leaving me " .Tears threatened to escape her eyes , a phone buzz snapping  her out of her vulnerable state as her eyes shot up in embarrassment.

What am I doing , pull yourself together!
She took a laboured breath clearing her throat , a fake smile plastered on her face .
"Anyway ! from the sounds of it we have some explaining to do !" .
She grabbed her phone from the cup holder and got out of the car to walk over to his side . Making a point of knocking on his window which he lowered mid knock .
"Yes baby " he responded .
The  endearment term threw her off as she coughed to clear her throat before tugging on his arm .

"We have to go , get the interrogations done sooner rather than later " she pouted .
He just couldn't resist leaning up to peck the pout off her lips , the glossy shine of her lips almost inviting . Their lips brushed for a second before he pulled away leaving an inch between them .
"Now we can go " he muttered his eyes flicking back and forth between the twinkle in her eyes to the ghost of a shine on her lips .
