That evening, Sanem stood waiting for the elevator thinking whether or not she made the right decision accepting Tarek's invitation for dinner. Yes, his messages where cute and he looked very handsome in his photos. But she was so nervous, she's never really done anything like this before. Having dinner with a total stranger....maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Sanem stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to the ground floor. Before the doors could close, a hand appeared stopping it.
Can stood in front of Sanem. When he saw her, he smirked.
Can: Looks like we're destined to always meet in elevators. What a cliche, right?
Not really knowing what he meant, Sanem smiles nervously. Why did she feel nervous? Sanem thought, they're just friends.
Sanem: Oh, Hi Can bey.
Can: So....Guliz told me you have a date tonight.....From that dating website.
Sanem checking her watch to make sure she hasn't missed the bus didn't really register what he said. She still needed to go home, shower and change before going on her date.
Sanem: (looking back at Can) Sorry what? My mind was somewhere else. What did you ask?
Can: (irritated at Sanem's distraction) I was just asking about your date tonight. (points at her watch) From the looks of it, you're very excited.
Sanem: Oh, I just wanted to make sure I haven't missed the bus home. And yes I am excited. (smiles) A bit nervous.....but a good nervous.
She is not going to give Can the satisfaction of knowing she was afraid.
Can: (trying to be casual) You know Sanem, maybe you shouldn't go. Please don't misunderstand, I'm only saying this as a friend. Don't go.
Sanem: (smirks) Really? and why is that?
Can: (scrambles to find a reason) You know, you said it yourself, you're nervous. And you should be....I mean you've never even met this guy. He's a total stranger. What if he's crazy? What if he hurts you? Who's his family? How are his manners? Maybe he's playing games with you.
Hearing Can ramble this way, Sanem continues to smirk at him.
Can: (seeing her smirk, hurriedly says) I'm only worried about you....as a friend. Because we're friends. And I get worried when my friends go out with total strangers. I mean what do you really know about him?
Sanem:(sarcastically) Well don't worry....friend. We've been messaging all day. His name is Tarek Yaman. He's 29 years old. He's a lawyer and loves the theater. As for everything else....(smiling with a glint in her eyes) well, that is why we're going to meet. To get to know each other.....to get closer.
Can's face turns red with shock and anger which was oddly satisfying to Sanem. "Good" she thought "now he knows how I feel when I get jealous". And just because she couldn't help herself, she adds:
Sanem: (smiling) Kind of like you and Deren hanem. Every time you guys hang out, you get to know each other more and you get closer. I'm just following your example......friend.
Almost as if on purpose, the elevator door opens. Sanem steps out with her head held high and a huge smile on her face. Leaving Can to look after her.
Can now extremely irritated, walks towards his car. Once he closes the car door behind him, he pulls out his phone and dials.
Can: Hello? Yes, his name it Tarek Yaman, he's 29 and is a lawyer. Find our everything you can about him in the next hour. I'm going home to change and then I'll come get you.
Can hangs up and starts his car.
45 Minutes later....
Metin: I can't believe we're doing this!
Can and Metin are in the car parked a few blocks from Sanem's house, waiting for her to leave.
Metin: (in disbelief) I mean when you said you were coming to get me, I didn't think we were going to be doing this!
Can: (eyes fixed on Sanem's front door) Just tell me what you know.
Metin: (with a glint in his eyes) Well, he was born November 8, 1989. His grandfather is an Albanian immigrant and his grandmother is a Macedonian immigrant. He is the nephew of football coach Fuat Yaman. He is fluent in English, German, Italian and Turkish. He's athletic. He plays basketball, table tennis, rafting, badminton.
Can, now intimidated by this guy's accomplishments interrupts Metin.
Can: (visibly annoyed) God Metin, I didn't ask you to read me what's written on his Wikipedia page. I'm asking you what's he like? Is he funny? Does he have many relationships?
Metin: (exasperated) How should I know Can? I've never met the guy.
Can: (takes a deep breath to calm down) Sorry. Sorry, for snapping at you. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Metin shakes his head while trying to suppress his laughter. Knowing exactly why his best friend is so on edge, he made a mental note to tease him about his behavior later. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Can Devit would be this head over heels in love with such an innocent slip of a girl.
Metin: By the way, nice costume.
Metin looks over to Can who's wearing a fedora hat on his head, black sunglasses and a scarf covering his mouth, beard and neck.
Metin: (laughing) You're almost invisible.
Can: (embarrassed) Oh shut up. I can't let her see me or I'll never hear the end of it. I even switched out my car, just in case.
Metin: Do you really think she's going to notice?
Can: She has a photographic memory, she would've recognized it.
Metin: (teasingly) No I mean, she's going to be too busy with her date to pay attention to the car.
Can: (irritated at the prospect) oh shut it!
Sanem steps out of her house wearing a brown trench coat with a nude oversize sweater dress and cute ankle boots underneath. She looked stunning with legs that looked like they go for miles. Casual but at the same time baya, baya, baya sexy.
Can swallows loudly when he sees her, now actually scared that she might like this guy. Otherwise, why was she so dressed up? No! Sanem was HIS. He was going to do whatever it takes to make sure that this "date" does NOT go well....whatever it takes.
When she enters a cab. Car starts the car, making sure to always keep the taxi in his sights.
Can: Let the games begin.
To be continued....
Up Next - Sanem's Date. Will Can crash it? Or will someone else make a surprise appearance?
Congratulations! Some of you guessed right that Metin would be the one Can calls. At first, I was going to make it Akif. But I just LOVE Metin, and I think his character still has a lot to do on the show and this was my my way of getting him back in the folds.
