Chapter Text
After having to deal with the press, which she just knew Selin had something to do with, and fainting in front of all those camera, Serkan had taken her back to his place so she could calm down without everyone hovering over her, exactly what would happen at her house once her friends saw the news that “Serkan Bolat cheated on fiancée Eda Yildiz!”.
It was ridiculous, as much she was angry with Serkan for lying to her, and the fact that Selin always seems to find a way to be in his life, she knew he would never cheat on her.
Now here she was, sleeping in his bed, or more like trying to sleep, while he was downstairs sleeping on the couch. His only reason for bringing her here was so she would could be in peace, not to try to get back with her, convince her to forgive him. Her idiotic, selfless man would do anything for her, despite how much pain it would cause him, and she could see the pain in him, now that she knew the truth, she could see it write in his face, the smile that never seemed reach his eyes.
But even though she loves him, and she loves him so much that hurts in her soul to be apart from him, the pain from his lies was great too. He hid from her one of the most important things in her life, it felt like she was losing her parents all over again, learning after all these years the truth about their death ripped open the wound that never really healed.
It wasn’t fair that they were paying the price for a mistake that wasn’t theirs, and she knew that her heart would find a way to forgive Serkan for hiding it from her, so why was she waiting for? Haven’t they both suffered enough? Don’t they deserve to be happy, after everything they went through? Life owned them at least this. They would need to talk, really talk, to build a relationship where they both could be happy and trust each other, it would be difficult, it might hurt, but their love is strong enough to handle.
Looking at the hour in her phone Eda saw that was past 2 a.m., which meant that she was seating in his awake for at least two hours, knowing that she wouldn’t be sleeping any time soon, and with her heart and mind settled, she decided to go downstairs and be near Serkan. Now that she decided to give them another chance, to put everything in the past, mistakes, contracts, lies and exes, she couldn’t stay away from him, it was like his soul was calling to hers.
Trying to be quiet and not awake him or Sirius, she found him sleeping in the couch with only a small blanket, for a man that was completely crazy about his health he should be better covered, the weather was cold already, he could catch a cold or something like that. Grabbing another blanket from the guest room Eda went over to him but stopped herself, seeing his hands spread across the couch, like it was reaching for her beside him, she couldn’t stop herself, morning was too far away to be close to him again, and they both always slept better next to each other.
Rearranging both blankets on him, Eda lifted them up laid down beside him, feeling like she was finally home, she was safe.
“Eda? What are you doing here?” asked a barely awake Serkan, “Iyi misin?”
“Iyiyim, I can’t sleep alone. Go back to sleep, aşkım.”
Even though Serkan was confused with Eda’s attitude he held her closer to him, otherwise Eda would end up falling from the couch. “But Eda…”
Getting more comfortable in his embrace, much like the first time they slept together on his couch, she put her fingers in his lips, “Shh, we will talk in the morning, right now I just need you to hold me.”
Serkan felt like he was breathing again after a long time being under water, he knew they had a lot to talk in the morning, it would hurt, but they needed to be two adults if they wanted to share a future together, and that was what he wanted the most in his life. A future with Eda Yildiz, and everything that this future would bring for them. But right now? Now he would enjoy every second of having the love of his life in his arm, he would finally have a good night of sleep.
Pulling her close, he kissed her forehead and closed his eyes. Tomorrow was looking much brighter than a few hours ago.
“I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love”
