A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

It's OK

"CeyCey why don't you start. I think it's best if you start" said Ayhan "OK, here it goes. Can Bey and Sanem. Deren called me several weeks ago and asked me to please come back to Frika Harika that she really could use my help since Aziz Bey opened the second one at the Island. You two were very busy at that time and I didn't want to bother you about it since you had so much going on. Anyway, when Emre and Leyla asked me to assist them to help get the business up and running, I sat down with them one night and told them that Deren wanted me back because I was so confused about what to do. Leyla and Emre were very understanding about it and told me that they would support me on whatever decision I make. I was really torn Can Bey"........"Why were you torn over me CeyCey?"........"Because, I worked for you and was your assistant when you needed me"........"First of all, You did not work for me. You worked mainly for my Dad. He needed you here to be Sanem's support system when we brought her back. He paid you not me. I only slipped you money occasionally to help you out"......."I know but, I promised you and Aziz Bey that I would look after my special friend. Sanem means the world to me and I hated to see her hurting like she did. So I made it a point to make a commitment to this Family and be here for her."........"CeyCey, you are and always will be like a brother to me and I have truly appreciated all that you have done. But, look I am ok now. Thanks to you and Ayhan. Without you two Can and I wouldn't be where we are right now"........."So have you made a decision." Can asked "Yes, I love the Island life and have no interest in returning to the Mainland and working for Deren. I took it upon myself and asked Emre and Leyla if I could work for them instead. They said yes but, I needed to talk to you and Sanem first." CeyCey took a deep inhale paused for a short time before he continued "I know that you built this house here on your Island for Ayhan and myself to live in. Believe me we too appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. But, here is the thing. With me working on the big Island I feel it would be best for Ayhan and I to leave there. One day we want to start a Family of our own and find our own place to live."....... "Where will you two live on the big Island?" asked Sanem. Ayhan began to answer that "The apartment above Osman store has become available. Osman offered it to us and all we would have to do is pay our utilities and we will give him money each month to put aside and save to be able to buy a future home of our own."........ "So, you mean to tell me, this is what you were so afraid of. Us getting mad because you want to work and live on the Big Island. Why would you ever think that. You both of all people should know that we would want you to do what is best for your future. It's ok CeyCey and Ayhan go make a life for yourselves and stop worrying about us. We will see you everyday of the work week."........"Ayhan are you still going to be my manager at the shop. I truly hope so, I really need you there and you will get a weekly paycheck"........"Yes, I am still working for you. I wanted to make a suggestion to let me open it up each day for you so you can get the twins ready and not have to feel rushed each morning to open the shop on time. And hope you bring them each day to work so we can see them."......."I would love that if you can open for me and as far as the twins are concerned we will see. Can and I may have to make some arrangements for their care when we have meetings or if Can has to go away for any Photo Sessions. But, for now they will be coming with us"........"Good, thank you both for understanding. We Love you and don't ever want to disappoint or hurt your ever." Can and Sanem hugged them both as they stood up. Sanem patted CeyCey on top of his head and said "Our CeyCey is growing up Can. We did good" Both of them busted out laughing at Sanem and the four of them went in for a group hug. As they walked back up to the house Can said to the both of them "Our door will always be open for you both and we expect a visit every now and then, you are welcome to sleep in the guest room."........"Sounds great! maybe we can plan one weekend out of each month and stay with you." CeyCey said "OK how about the third weekend each month" Sanem said excited. "OK, its a plan. May I asked one more question Can Bey?"........"Sure CeyCey"....... "What are you going to do with the house you built for Ayhan and I?"........"Not sure, Sanem and I will figure that out. Either we have a nanny or grounds keeper that would be willing to live here. We'll see!"......."Hey Sanem!"......."Yes CeyCey?"........"You can alway hire Muzzo to be your groundskeeper. He wants to move here with all of us. He misses everyone"........"Sorry that won't happen. He will definitely drive me crazy. I love him but sure can't live with him here. He was my neighbor at one time and that was enough."......"You got that right Sanemiase. He is a pain in the ass but we do still love him."....... "Are you talking about that guy that felt he had to compete with me and was bound and determined to get you to marry him Sanem" Both Ayhan and Sanem answered yes at the same time and busted out laugh. "Well, I won".......Sanem turned around at Can because he was walking behind her placed her hand on his face and smoothed his beard like he always Loved and said "Yes, you did my Love and he never had a chance." and plants a kiss right on his lips.
