Chapter 118

The words which I thought were useless

Have become a necessity

It's good that some decisions of fate were made

Every moment is changed

There is an inebriation over me everywhere

Love was a stranger, it met me for the first time

I have realized this effect now,

What is this color that is over me?

I have heard that this is the custom of loyalty

The intoxication that is over my heart,

It's for the first time...…..

Daniel rubbed his sore eyes that were aching due to being awake all night. How could he sleep after that fluttering and at the same time heart-wrenching confession of Amy? Every fiber of his body had wanted her to at least consider that feeling for him and finally when she did it was difficult for him to accept that.

He could see the raw emotions in her eyes that shattered his resolve, his heart begging him to kiss the living daylights out of her and give their relationship another chance but then again uncertainties rounded him bringing him all the agony of the past. Was he ready to put his heart at stake again, was he ready to embrace this side of life he had so eagerly wanted?

Never had he witnessed Amy spilling her heart like that, there wasn't pity or any other relatable thing. There was hurt, guilt and desperation in her tone, so heavy that he could feel its weight. Daniel couldn't say that she loved him but she would in the future, that was certain.

He let out a long, tired breath lifting himself from his leather chair.

'It didn't take her long to make a way back in your heart ' his inner voice said.

'I can't deny that I am helpless when it comes to her' 

"What should I do?" Daniel whispered to himself, drained out. After much contemplation, he was somewhere near his decision.

'You have already decided' his mind and heart retorted at the same time putting a seal on his decision. It was going to be a shock for Amy but it was what his heart desired and his mind thought.

Leaving his office he went inside his bedroom which was empty, the bed neatly made. It was already eight in the morning, quite past his office time. But it was okay, he was the boss, after all, he could get late once in the whole nine years.

Taking a warm and long bath he dressed in his usual office attire before walking out of his room in search of Amy. He didn't have to go far as he found her standing in Ozan's room folding his clothes. Just by looking at her face, he could tell that she didn't sleep all night. The bags under her eyes were giving away the truth. Stepping inside the room he heard Ozan's giggles coming out of the bathroom.

"Morning!" Daniel said in a soft tone. Amy faced him with a small smile saying the same.

"Martha insisted on bathing Ozan, if you want I can make you breakfast!" Amy asked returning to her chore.

"No, I will have something in the office." He replied, 

"Okay," Amy shrugged, there wasn't anything much to say. Her head was already aching from staying up all night.

Daniel stood there biting the insides of his cheek not knowing how to ask the next thing.

"Actually, I wanted to ask something?" He started taking a breath.

Her ears perked at this, 

"Hmmm!"

"Will you go on a date with me?" He let out nervously, yes this was his decision. If life was giving him a chance he wasn't going to toss it away, that would be a rash decision. Getting hurt the first time was evident but still, he took the chance then why not give it a chance when there were intense and true feelings involved. Nothing in life is predictable, you never know what's going to happen next so why not relish the forever life is striking your way even if for a limited number of days. In those days he could finally have his love, his tesoro.

He couldn't deny that no matter how cruel the reality becomes that it hurts to love her but he couldn't get enough of loving her.

Amy paused for a second, her face turned to him at a striking speed. Was her mind really playing games with her? She wondered.

"I must have heard you wrong, could you repeat what you says earlier?" She asked holding her breath, wishing just for a second that what she heard was true.

Daniel took a step towards her softly holding her arms and bringing her near his chest.

"You heard it right the first time, Will you go on a date with me?" He repeated this time with a nervous smile as if he was a teenager asking her crush for a date.

Amy eyed his face, searching for truth. Her heartbeat skyrocketed. Did he hit his head somewhere? Wasn't he saying to stick around as friends and co-parent Ozan?

"I thought friends aren't supposed to go on a date!" She fired back squinting her eyes trying to calm her nerves.

He licked his dry lips, gliding his one hand to her waist and holding her close so that she placed her pale hands on his broad chest. 

"I thought a lot about it, all night to be precise." He said gazing intently at her with a loving look.

"Only one thing came to my mind that even if you hurt me I would still long to feel the warmth of your love. Because even when you cause me pain, you are worth it tesoro!"  Right there, tears gathered in her eyes as her heart melted. The intensity of his love was enough to drown her and then bring her back to the surface. It fluttered her as she looked at him, no words came out as the only rational thing that came to her mind was to hug him and she did tackling him in a bear hug. A drop of tear left her eye, it was a happy one. She couldn't believe it.

"Let's just go with the flow and take it one step at a time!" He muttered in her hair breathing in her scent.

She pulled back with tears in her eyes, her heart beaming with glee.

"I won't hurt you, Daniel. Not now, not ever. I would rather die!" She mumbled in a promising tone.

He held her tightly and kissed her tears, then her cheeks. Amy closed her eyes savouring the moment.

"Should I take it as a yes?" Daniel asked pecking her nose. This was really happening.

"What if I say no," Amy muttered in a playful tone deciding to tease him a bit. If he made this decision at night, she wouldn't have to spend the whole night in sheer guilt and grief. She really thought that she lost his love forever.

He saw the playful smile adorning her beautiful face and decided to go along with her playfulness. It was after so many days that the tension between them faded replaced by love and strong emotions. The thorns on the string between them seem to cut off and dust away.

He leaned a bit lower blowing his breath on her neck know the effect it had on her as he felt her shiver,

"Are you sure you don't want to go with me?" He whispered in her ear, kissing her ear lobe. She shuddered, he was trying to make her weak and he was so going to get it.

"D-daniel!" He hummed in response, Amy tried to stifle her moan as he rubbed his nose along the length of her ear and neck. An idea popped into her mind.

"Ozan!" She squeaked making Daniel pull away from her abruptly looking behind only to see his bath door still open and Ozan's voices coming out. 

Amy slipped away from her hold in the meantime and dashed towards the door.

"One step at a time Mr Saritas" she giggled seeing his confused expression.

His lips twitched upwards, you could hear his heart blooming seeing her smile and laugh like that.

"This wasn't fair tesoro," he pouted.

"I am just complying with what you said, " She said with a smirk, knowing she got him. Picking up the set of clothes she decided for Ozan,

"I will be waiting for you!" she muttered bowing her eyes with a beautiful smile and a happy heart skidding inside the bath to Ozan and Martha.

Daniel chuckled tucking his hands inside his trouser pockets.  Just by looking at it, he knew it would be worth it in the end. It wasn't his inner voice saying those words, it was his belief. But despite that, he was praying that his belief would strengthen with each passing day instead of withering.

He let out a breath, hoping that these smiles and happiness between them lasts forever.
