Same, same but different!

Part 10

His thoughts are spiraling. She’s in my shirt. In my bed. Upstairs. She kissed me back.

The scent of her still clings to him. Ömer groans into the pillow.

Ömer (muttering): Stupid idiot promise one kiss. One. You could've asked two. But she definitely wouldn't have.

He punches the pillow, then immediately sits up, dragging a hand down his face. He gets up and walks to the door, pauses, then walks back.

Kıvılcım is curled up on the far side of the bed, holding the pillow he usually sleeps with. Her phone buzzes on the bedside table. It's a message from Fatma:

Fatma: Where are you? Alev called me. You're not home yet? I stupidly said she's not with me. I thought out loud, saying she's probably with him. I corrected myself very quickly saying her... Mavi. But I don't think she bought it. You know Alev and I are smart when it comes to these things.

She stares at the screen and types:

Kıvılcım: I'm seriously going to have to torture you to death someday, Fatma. I'm at Ömer's and I unfortunately kissed him again. But I’m still fully dressed, don’t panic. He's in the guest bedroom.

Fatma responds with three blinking emojis. And then says...

Fatma: Why don't you go to him and get rid of your sexual frustration.

Kıvılcım only sends her an angry emoji.

She quickly sends Metehan a message, knowing that Alev has probably told him she's with Fatma.

Kıvılcım puts her phone down, turns to the other side of the bed, and buries her face into Ömer’s pillow, inhaling his scent. She groans.

Kıvılcım (muffled): One kiss. One kiss, he said.

The door creaks. She sits up quickly, pulling the blanket over her legs.

Ömer stands there, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

Ömer: I forgot my… book.

Kıvılcım raises an eyebrow.

Kıvılcım: Your book?

Ömer gestures vaguely at the nightstand.

He steps inside and picks it up, but doesn’t leave.

Ömer: I also forgot to ask if you need another blanket.

Kıvılcım gives him a look, amused.

Kıvılcım: Are you cold? You’re the one who suggested to stay in the guest bedroom. I could've gone there.

Ömer smiles.

Ömer: You’re right. I’ll go.

He turns to leave, but stops at the door again.

Ömer: Just to clarify... If I were to ask for one more kiss...

Kıvılcım interrupts, smirking.

Kıvılcım: You’d still only get that one kiss.

Ömer grins, then gently shuts the door behind him.

As soon as he’s gone, both of them say at the same time, in different rooms...

Ömer: She’s going to drive me crazy.

Kıvılcım: He’s going to ruin me.

And neither one of them sleeps much that night.

Next morning

The next morning Mavi is up bright and early like always. During the weekend Ayse abla has off, so Mavi thinks it's just her and Ömer in the house. Knowing that her father usually sleeps a little late she walks quietly downstairs. She first go to the kitchen, her tablet in her hand and grabs a little juice box. Slowly with still sleepy eyes she makes away to the TV room.
