Be True To Yourself And To Love

Chapter 8: What the ❤️wants. Part 2

The next morning, Sanem awoke with a headache but also with an idea of a slogan. She stood up and wanted to run and share her idea with Can but the minute she stood up she fell over and began to whimper in pain as she fell onto her wrist. Can's tent was near Sanem's and since he was not able to sleep much due to thoughts of her, he immediately heard her whimper and rushed to her tent to see what the problem was, he wanted to be the one to help her no matter what the problem was. He found her in different clothes, a loose bun on top of her head but holding her wrist as if she was in pain. He approached her and asked her if she was okay. She replied, "no my head hurts and my clumsy self fell because I was so excited to tell you about my idea for the slogan that I tripped over my sleeping bag and hurt my wrist". Can immediately sought to comfort her and gently reached for her wrist and she winced in pain, he told her he would be right back and he ran to his tent to retrieve a bandage and some pain relievers and a bottle of water that he had already opened and drank from this morning. He hoped she didn't mind, he knew he didn't as he would happily drink after her anytime. He  returned to her tent and handed her the pain relievers and the water, she did not hesitate to take a drink. He couldn't help his smile at knowing that her mouth had just touched where his mouth had been. After taking her pills, he informed her that her wrist was not broken but sprained so he was going to wrap it in a bandage. He apologized if he caused her any pain as he
" never wanted to cause her pain", She shyly smiled and told him she would be fine. As he slowly wrapped her wrist, he was gently touching her and she felt goosebumps, he did too. She then proceeded to tell him her idea for the campaign slogan, he encouraged her to share it with him. She explained that since the company was called Compass Sports then then slogan should be "Find Yourself". She looked at his handsome face to gauge his reaction and what she saw made her both smile and blush. He told her that her idea was "perfect" and he couldn't wait to share it with the team. They exited her tent and he asked the team to gather around cause they had a winning slogan for sure. He told his team that Sanem had come up with the slogan of "Find Yourself". The team applauded and congratulated Sanem as they agreed it was a winning slogan. They began to talk about ideas for photos and advertisements and Sanem said " what about something like we just did with a camping trip, maybe a family or a couple and the find themselves during the trip.  Can couldn't help himself and grabbed her and hugged her tightly. She smiled and hugged him back. The team ran with Sanem's ideas and together with Sanem came up with a campaign that would for sure be accepted.

The plan was for the Compass Sports owner to come to the agency on Monday to review the campaign and make his decision. Can wanted Sanem to be recognized for all that she contributed to the campaign and the team agreed. Monday came and the Compass Sports owner arrived, Mr. Tarik. He was an attractive man Sanem thought but definitely no Can Divit. Can shook Mr. Tarik's hand and explained to him about Sanem and how the campaign was her idea. Can noticed the Mr. Tarik had not taken his eyes off of Sanem and gave her a smile as he reached for her hand to kiss it. Can glared at Mr. Tarik but didn't have to say a word because Sanem pulled her hand away and asked to begin the presentation. Sanem got a weird vibe from Mr. Tarik and couldn't stand the thoughts of him kissing her hand with that creepy look in his eye. She offered the excuse of hurting her wrist and it still paining her some. Mr. Tarik didn't seem to notice her disgust and sat in his seat.  He leered at Sanem during the presentation, barely acknowledging what she was presenting. He looked her up and down over and over again
At one point even licking his lips thinking about her mouth as well as some other parts of her body he would like to discover. Can watched Mr. Tarik and his eyes that never left Sanem. He was livid and had his hands balled into tight fists, ready to * knock this mother****er out*.
Sanem ended her presentation and members of the team applauded her for her hard work. Mr. Tarik clapped as well and asked Sanem if she would like to go to lunch so they could discuss it further so he could make his decision. Deren heard this and silently encouraged Sanem to go to lunch with Me. Tarik. Can on the other hand jumped in and informed Mr. Tarik that he should ask the team if had questions about the campaign. Sanem turned to him and thanked him with her eyes. She then turned to Mr. Tarik and explained to him that she was the one who came up with the slogan but that the campaign was a team effort and if he wanted lunch they could order in and they could discuss any concerns or questions that he has as a team. Mr. Tarik visibly smirked but agreed. He had a plan to spend as much time getting and being close to Sanem. During lunch, Mr. Tarik took every opportunity to touch Sanem. Can was past seeing red at this point and confronted him. Mr. Tarik acted as if he was shocked by Can's accusations but couldn't help but smirk. He knew there must be something going on with the two of them, but honestly didn't really care. Sanem saw his smirk and stood up looked Mr. Tarik in the eyes and said "Mr. Tarik we here at the agency appreciate being considered for your business. We have created a wonderful campaign for you but you apparently have no interest in what we have presented. You have made a point to purposely flirt with me and make me uncomfortable. You have chosen to not respect my personal space or boundaries at all. I am telling you right now to back off, be respectful or leave. I have no interest in you whatsoever, I have a beloved who makes me feel so many wonderful emotions. He makes me feel loved, appreciated, respected, and above all I feel honored because he supports me no matter what." Sanem looked at Can as she said these last few lines and he smiled in response, took her hand, kissed it and together they left the room. Mr. Tarik stood there shaking his head and recognized he was busted and was about to ruin the best campaign he had ever seen. He asked Deren to get Can and Sanem back. They returned and Mr. Tarik admitted he was attracted to Sanem but that he would keep it strictly professional if they would take on his companies advertisements. He looked and Can and Sanem and apologized for his behaviors and wished them much happiness, saying " you really do make a great team".
