Invitations and Dance Lessons

Start from the beginning
                                    

The conversation with Gio was tense and unnerving. They would have to work hard to return to their easy going relationship but she didn't want to lose him as a friend, nor a colleague so she prayed that this would work. They both avoided the other for the next few days.

She decided to wait until she was with the girls in person to tell them what happened at lunch with Gio. She didn't like being so stern with him but it was warranted. What upset her more, though, was the seeds of doubt he had planted in her mind about Can. She had a lot to think about.

Can had mentioned that there would be a DJ and dancing and she may have gotten a little too excited about the idea of that. It had been ages since she went dancing and definitely not since she lost Nicolas for sure. This could be fun, she thought!

Can sent a frantic text of his own to Mehmet, Farah and Tahir when he hung up with Sanem.

Ah, guys, I'm going to need some help. I told Sanem about the DJ at the Redmode function and she got really excited about dancing. I now have only 2 days to learn how to slow dance!!

Farah replied after finishing with a work call in her office, You'll need more than 2 days, my love! You're asking for a miracle.

Tahir chimed in on the group text, When was the last time you went dancing, Yaman??

A few minutes later Mehmet sent a dancing emoji and said..sorry, dude..that's not a mission that's possible..

Can rolled his eyes and replied back, I know how to dance to fast music!

No, you don't..typed Farah.

Can texted back, ok meet me at my house tonight

Can texted back, ok meet me at my house tonight. I need all of you. Don't bail on me!

The group agreed to meet at 7 so Can left the office to look for a nice suit to wear. He was planning to sweep Sanem Aydin off her feet if it was the last thing he did!

Later that night, the gang was all gathered, drinks were passed out and Farah told Can to stand up.

Show us what we're working with, Can, she said..knowing this was going to be comical. Mehmet whispered to her and Tahir, I didn't know Can could dance?

He can't, Farah whispered back..just watch!

Tahir put some hip hop style music on and watched Can start to bob his head to the beat.

Anytime you're ready, brother, Farah mocked.

I'm getting there! Just give me a minute, will ya? It's been awhile, Can snapped.
