Kıvılcım: Okay, okay Fatma. Enough with the teasing.

Ömer: Just one more question Fatma. Is this one worth it?

Pointing his head towards Can.

Fatma: He seems to be.

Fatma winks at Can. Can bites back.

Can: Kıvılcım, is this one worthy enough?

Kıvılcım doesn't look at Ömer.

Kıvılcım: I'm still thinking about it Can.

Ömer's palm slid further up on Kıvılcım's inner thigh, heat blooming along her skin.

Ömer: You continue to think about it Kıvılcım hanım. I have all the time on the world to wait.

Can: OHAAAA!

Fatma: YUHHH!

Kıvılcım: Okay, that's enough for me.

Kıvılcım wasn't referring to the conversation, she was referring to hand on her thigh that's traveling to dangerous places, but only Ömer knew that. She made a move to stand up.

Fatma: Where are you going?

Kıvılcım: To the bathroom.

Fatma: Let me accompany you.

Kıvılcım: No need, you continue your flirting. (she winks at Fatma) I'll be back now.

Ömer moved out the way, his hand deliberately moving over her back as she made her way past him.

Kıvılcım slipped away from the table, weaving through the crowd towards the back of the bar. The music thumped low in her ears, the murmur of voices and clinking glasses blending into a dull hum until a man stepped directly into her path.

Man: Hey, gorgeous... (he slurred slightly, eyes raking over her) Can I buy you a drink?

Kıvılcım kept her voice firm but polite.

Kıvılcım: I’m not interested. Please move.

Instead of stepping aside, he grinned, leaning closer.

Man: Don’t be like that. I’m just being friendly.

Kıvılcım: I would suggest you move out of my way and go look for trouble somewhere else.

From across the bar, Metehan had been focused the moment his mom moved from the table. In an instant, his expression changed when he saw a man moving in front of her. He excused himself and made his way over. He came up behind her when he heard the man say:

Man: Don’t be like that. I’m just being friendly.

Metehan slipped in between his mother and the stranger.

Metehan: I think she made it clear, she's not interested.

Kıvılcım: Metehan, it's okay the mister was just leaving. Don't cause a scene please.

The man narrowed his eyes at Metehan.

Man: Why are you butting in? We’re talking.

Back at the table, Can noticed the scene and indicated Ömer's eyes towards them.

Can: Ömer, someone is disturbing Kıvılcım and from the looks of it, Metehan is about to raise high hell. I think we should go over there before things escalate.

Ömer immediately looked at them.

Ömer: You guys stay here, I'll go and check it out.

He was already on his feet, making his way over with that calm, lethal look in his eyes.
