"What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful." - John Geddes

Kıvılcım: Am I?

Kıvılcım grabs Ömer by his shirt and pulls him under the water. The freezing cold water hits him and out of reflex he steps forward to get out of it, involuntarily pushing Kıvılcım against the shower wall.

Kıvılcım is shivering and it's not just from the cold. It's because of Ömer's close proximity.

Ömer rest his head on Kıvılcım's head and they look at each other in the quietness. Kıvılcım is the first to move.

She leans into Ömer resting her head on his chest, looking for warmth.

Kıvılcım: Ömer, I'm cold.

Ömer doesn't move.

Ömer: Have you sobered up yet?

She steps back and looks at him.

Kıvılcım: Can't you see my eyes are wide open?

Ömer looks at her, his expression soft.

Ömer: Okay, I'll get you a clean towel.

Ömer steps out of the shower, grabbing his towel over the railing, and drying himself. Ömer leaves the bathroom and Kıvılcım turns the hot water on, so she can warm up. A few minutes later he comes back, dressed in pajamas. Kıvılcım steps out of the shower and Ömer wraps Kıvılcım in the towel. He lifts her hair and his gaze stays a little too long on kıvılcım.

Kıvılcım: Thank you.

Ömer: The hairdryer is in the cupboard. Dry your hair so you don't catch a cold. I left a shirt and pj shorts on the bed. You dry yourself and get dressed. I'll be downstairs.

Kıvılcım nods her head and Ömer leaves the bedroom.

Kıvılcım is standing like a statue, trying to make sense of what has happened the past hour.

She snaps out of it and quickly dries her hair. A few minutes later she walks out of the bathroom. She realize that he brought her to his bedroom. She starts drying herself, her eyes wondering around. There is photos of Mavi. A leather couch in the corner. His dressing room on the other side. A view of the city. His big bed, with a watch, alarm clock, book and water on the nightstand next to the bed.

Once she was dry, she picked up his shirt and immediately his overpowering scent caught her. The shirt was clearly to big for her. She put it on and it covered her mid thighs. She looks at the "pj shorts" Ömer left.

Kıvılcım (muttering to herself): He said pj shorts but it's his boxers. If my underwear wasn't wet right now, I would not be wearing his boxers.

Kıvılcım puts on Ömer's boxers. It's a little to big so she folds it at the waist so it doesn't continue to slip off.

She let's out a relieved breath and sits down on the bed.

Kıvılcım: Let me go down.

As soon as she's about to leave, there's a knock on the door. She opens it. Ömer is standing with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Ömer: I thought a strong coffee would help you sober up completely?

Kıvılcım takes the coffee from Ömer's hands.

Kıvılcım: Thank you.

Ömer: I put two sugar.

Kıvılcım takes a sip.

Kıvılcım: It tastes good.

Ömer: Sit down, I don't want you to faint. (he turns to the nightstand) Here's some pain killers for that bad hangover you'll have in the morning.
