Sarah’s POV

*Now*

The alarm went off waking me up. I was still in the same clothes of yesterday. Today is a new day I hope that nothing terrible happens today and my plan goes well. I took a shower, got ready for work and I went downstairs to have breakfast before heading to the company. When I went downstairs I saw Jan sitting with my grandpa on the table eating breakfast. Why was grandpa so stubborn?

“Oh look who’s here my favorite granddaughter. Good morning sweetie” grandpa said smiling. “Good morning grandpa” I replied then looked at Jan and said “Good morning Jan” he looked up from his breakfast with a straight face and said “Good morning” Oh boy here we go and I was hopping that today goes well seems like nothing is going to go well at all.

“I invited Jan to breakfast today to talk to you both about something” grandpa said.

“What is it grandpa?” I asked.

“Well, I decided to throw a party tomorrow night to celebrate you returning back and I wanted both of you to be responsible for organizing this party” why is he always pairing us together? “This party is really important as some of our partners are going to attend it and we want to give them a good impression” grandpa continued. “Sure grandpa” I said smiling.

“And one more thing. I want you both to act like a couple. I kind of told them that both of you are back together” he said and this was it for me. “What??!!” I yelled. “Why did you do that?” I continued yelling. The most hilarious part is that Jan is very calm about it and didn’t even react so I asked him “Did you know about this?” he looked at me again with straight face and said “Yes. Chairman Yorkan mentioned this to me earlier” I was surprised. When did my grandpa trust Jan? and why the hell Jan is very calm about it? “And you’re okay about it?” I asked.

“And why wouldn’t I be okay about it? It’s just pretending” he said without looking at me.

“Sarah, why are you making a big deal of everything since you came?” grandpa asked. “Maybe because you’re acting strangely? Maybe because you’re trying to play cupid here when…” and at this moment Jan looked me in the eyes. He was waiting for me to continue. “You know what? Fine. I will pretend to be his girlfriend or whatever. Actually, I’ve done the same thing 3 years ago” and then I saw the hurt in his eyes very clear. He was hurt and that’s my goal. I don’t want to get closer to him. I want him to hate me not the other way around. He then dropped the fork on the plate and stood up “Excuse me. I have to go to the company.” Then he looked at me “Don’t be late. We have a lot of things to do” he said and then left the dinning room.

“Why did you say that Sarah?” I heard grandpa asking. I was beyond mad at this point. “Because I don’t want him to love me again!!” I yelled. “Can you tell me grandpa what will happen after 2 months if we got back together?” I asked. “Will you let me stay here or are you going to force me to leave him again?” I continued asking. He didn’t reply then I said “I can’t make him fall in love with me again grandpa. Do you think that this is easy for me? Seeing him being hurt? This is not easy grandpa but I have to do this in order for him to move on with his life” and then I finally said “Grandpa, are you doing this to amend the relationship between me and Jan? Or you’re doing this for me to come back here after graduation and amend the relationship between me and you? If it is the later then don’t bother because 3 years ago, you broke something between us that’s cannot be amended” I stood up and left. I don’t know whether I was harsh on my grandpa or not but this cupid thing has to stop in order for me to proceed with my plan. I don’t know if what I said to him was true or not. I told him before that I have forgiven him but there’s a great difference between forgiving someone and forgetting what this someone did. Maybe I have forgiven grandpa long ago but I won’t ever forget what he did to me. I won’t ever forget the pain he caused me. And as long as I see Jan in front of me this will remind me every single time of what he did.

    Jan’s POVI left the Yorkan mansion after what Sarah said. I didn’t want her to see the hurt in my eyes. I didn’t want to let her see that her words still affect me because they still do. When I heard her tell her grandfather that she doesn’t love me it did hurt like hell but I didn’t expect that saying that she was pretending to love me before to hurt way more. I thought that I was over her long time ago but these two days has proven that I am not over her at all. I still love her with every ounce of my being and I would be lying to myself if I said something opposite to that. I don’t know what happened 3 years ago and why is she acting like that all of a sudden. She has changed a lot during the past 3 years. The Sarah I know never intended to hurt someone like this, never was this heartless. She became a different person not the one I knew and loved before and yet I still love her so much. W

How is life there in America?”“Well, I am great and very excited to finally finish studying and as for life back there it’s really good. I have my own house. Well, grandpa bought it to me 3 years ago as he didn’t want me to stay in the dorms of the college” I said.“Do you live alone in that house or with someone? A friend maybe?” he asked.“No, I live alone but sometimes Noah or Penny drops by and stays a night or two with me” I said.“Don’t you have more friends?” he asked.“I have of course as I am the captain of the girls soccer team but those two are my very best friends” I said smiling at the memory of the three of us watching movies on my couch and Penny making remarks about roma

    Jan’s POV I kept staring in her deep blue eyes waiting for any sign of regret that should stop my heart from racing and that can make me take her off my lap but I didn’t find it. What I found instead was desire and that made me turned on even more. When I was fixing her seat belt her smell turned me on and when I sensed her stare and turned and looked at her lips I was turned on more and more. God what am I thinking right now? “Sarah, what are we doing?” I asked my forehead is connected with hers. “I don’t know Jan” she said sighing. I then looked her in the eyes and said “I don’t want to stop” she smiled and then said “Me neither” and as she said that I crushed my lips to her wanting to taste her again. Her smooth lips are killing me that I even wanted more. We kept kissing and then I sensed Sarah trying to unbutton my shirt. I stopped her breaking the kiss and said “Sarah, we can’t do this. We shouldn’t do this”

    Sarah’s POV “Why did you leave 3 years ago?” he asked. Oh my god!! I didn’t know that this day will come this soon or will come ever. I need to say something fast but I can’t tell him the truth. If I tell him the truth he will have hope that I don’t want him to have. ‘What will happen after this?’ his question echoed in my head. What was I thinking then? “I think you know the answer to that question pretty well Jan” I said coldly. “I left because I wanted to study in America simple” I continued. “Was that a strong reason to break up with? I told you that you can go and we still could be together but you told me that you didn’t feel like studying there anymore? So why did you leave back then?” he bombarded me with questions. “I told you back then that I don’t love you anymore” I said nonchalantly. “And this is a lie!! I saw the lust and desire in your eyes today. I saw it clearly” he yelled. “First

    Jan’s POVI waited for her to answer me. I really wanted this answer. “I don’t know Jan. It’s complicated” she said looking down. “What do you mean it’s complicated?” I asked. I was getting really mad. I didn’t know that she could lie all those lies. I felt that something was weird about her deciding to leave me in the first place but I didn’t know that she decided to give up her dream just for me. I feel awful about it. “I mean Jan that I’m leaving after 2 months and I don’t want to get your hopes up” she made sense. What will happen after 2 months? I don’t know. “Then don’t. I demanded answers and you gave me them. I think I’m done here. I will see you tomorrow at the party” I said walking out of her room. Yes, I demanded answers but I didn’t know that these answers will hurt me even more. I don’t know what shall I do now. I love her

    Sarah’s POVI woke up to my alarm today. It’s going to be a very long and hectic day as it’s the party day. I have to pretend that me and Jan are a couple. Jan. I don’t know how yesterday night went and how has the night turned like this; from kissing and almost having sex to fighting and shouting to each other. I’m not very proud of my decisions but at that time it seemed like my only solution back then. However, when he asked my if I loved him or not I couldn’t say yes, I couldn’t do the same thing again because if I said yes I can’t leave after that. I don’t want to be back here after I graduate. Somehow, grandpa was right about forcing me about going there and that was the only reason that made me forgive him a little bit. So, I can’t give Jan hope. I can’t tell him that I still love him but whatsoever I am leaving after 2 months and never coming back except for holidays. I can’t be that selfish but he doesn’t seem to acknowledge that. I know he still loves me as much as I love hi

    Sarah’s POV I showed Noah his room and we went and sat on the couch beside the bed when he said “So Jan huh, he seemed like a very nice guy” I looked at him and both of us started laughing “Yeah, very nice. He was looking at you like he wanted to kill you Noah” I said. “You haven’t told him about our friendship I see” he said while standing up to unpack. “Actually, I told him that you are my friend, but I think he doesn’t seem to understand that a man and a woman can be only friends” I stood up to help him. “Look Sarah, I know you won’t like what I am going to say but you have to hear me out” here it goes “From the look in his eyes downstairs I can tell he still loves you and I think you have to hold on to that” I opened my mouth to protest but then Noah said “I know what you’re going to say Sarah that you don’t want to stay here and all that but why not try a long distance. It could work” “I don‎’t know Noah but the reason that my grandpa forced me in the first place to go to Americ

    Jan’s POV I sat in my car waiting for her to get ready and as I was waiting the image of them hugging can’t be erased from my mind. Questions are popping inside my head and I’m afraid of their answers. If they didn’t notice I was there would they have kissed? Or are they just friends like she was admitting? But friends don’t get intimate like that they don’t hug like that. We were once friends and we didn’t hug like that. As I was lost in my thought I heard the car door open and then close. I looked at the passenger seat and saw her fastening her seat belt. I started the car and all of those questions are and scenarios are messing up with my head. I know I told her that I don’t want her explanation but I know that if I didn’t hear them I might explode so I pulled the breaks in the empty streets causing the car to stop suddenly “Oh my god Jan, are you fu****g crazy?? You could have killed us!!” she shouted. I looked at her and then uttered a single word “explain” she looked at me in su

I never failed him before but this time I didn’t fail him once but twice. “Hey” I said approaching to his bed “I’m so so sorry Selim. I didn’t mean to not answer your calls” I said apologetically. “I’m going to make it up to you I promise” I continued. “Where were you, huh? Why didn’t you fulfil your promises? You’ve never done this before except of course you were busy with your future husband and forgot about me” he said while his eyes started to water. I can’t imagine I’m the reason he’s going to cry. I really messed up big. “I promise Jan has nothing to do with that. I was just caught up with some things and I couldn’t make it yesterday and this morning I was really tired that I didn’t hear my alarm” I lied. “However, I’m ready to spend the whole day with you today without any distractions.

I just wanted to make sure okay?” he said. “Make sure of what exactly, Jan? That I didn’t sleep with anyone back there? Me going to America doesn’t mean I have had sex with any other man Jan” I said angrily getting up to wear something. I didn’t find anything except his shirt so I wore it. “I didn’t say that Sarah. I just wanted to make sure that- that-” he stuttered. “That what, Jan?” I asked. “That you weren’t like this with any other man. That no one has touched you like that. That no other man has been with you in a way I haven’t. That you have been saving this for me like I have been saving this for you. I’m sorry Sarah but I want to make sure of all of this. I don’t want to upset you but if I didn’t know something will happen to me” he said sitting on the bed covering his face with his hands. “What if I have ha

    Jan’s POVI took a shower and was waiting for Sarah in the room while she took a shower. I still can’t believe what happened today. I can’t believe that we took this step with each other. I’ve been dreaming about this since the day we met. While I was lost in my thought I heard Sarah’s phone ringing. “Sarah, your phone is ringing” I shouted to her while she was still in the toilet, and I reached for her phone. “What?” she asked shouting from the bathroom. “Your phone” I shouted again and then took a look at the caller ID to tell her and to my surprise the caller was Fred. Why was he calling her? When did they even get each other’s phone numbers? Must have been on our engagement party when they were outside together. “What is it?” Sarah asked while she was getting out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest and her hair wet making her look so sexy. However, I was so mad right now to be turned on by the sexiness in front of me. I handed her her phone and stood from the bed

He then got out of the pool and approached me. “And I never claimed to be normal either” he said when he was in front of me and then he carried me bridal style when I said “Jan, what are you-” I didn’t finish my words when I felt myself under the water. “That’s a revenge Sarah Yorukan for pushing me” Jan said when we both were over the water. He then pulled me to him and kissed me on the lips. We continued kissing till we both were out of breath. “What did you do to me, huh?” he asked smiling while our foreheads were touching. “I don’t know” I whispered feeling extremely happy. “Come on let’s get dried before you catch a cold” Jan said and pulled us out of the pool. “But Jan, what am I going to wear?” I asked. “I’ll lend you a t-shirt” he said smiling. We went upstairs and entered what seemed to be the master bedroom. Jan opened his closet and gave me an oversi

    Sarah’s POVJan was right. At the end of the day I was actually letting him to kiss the sh*t out of me. The day was amazing. First, we went to have breakfast at this amazing place on the beach with our view was the sea. Then, we went to stroll on the beach for a while and Jan surprised me by setting up a boat for us. Jan knows how much I love the sea. He knows that when I was young I wished to be a mermaid in order to be living in the sea. In the boat, we have played cards, chess, we’ve talked a lot about so many things; about how I was doing in college, about what he has done the past three years in his life and how he was tutoring people just to have some money to live from until he could finish his project. Then, we had lunch and dinner on the boat with the sea surrounding us from everywhere. After that, Jan suggested we go to see his new house as he wanted me to see it. When I entered the house, I was mesmerized. “Oh my god Jan, this is the house” I said surprised. This is the hou

Then, a young boy came running after her and stopped when he saw us standing. “Selim, I told you not to run here inside. You might’ve broken anything here” Zahra said to who seemed to be her son. Sarah’s sisters were all married and have children. Sarah has told me all about them before. “Is that your son?” I asked Zahra. She smiled and said “Yes, and he’s Sarah’s sweetheart. He would ask anything from her and she complies without argument” she said sighing. “You’re Sarah’s fiancé right?” the little boy asked. I bent down to be at his eye level and said “Yes buddy” “I’m not your buddy and we’re not friends” he said angrily. “Selim, talk nicely with elders” Zahra

    Sarah’s POVI woke up the next day at 7 am excited to spend the day with Jan. I don’t if giving him another chance or giving our relationship another chance is a good idea or not but I feel like I’m the happiest girl on earth. I looked at the ring on my finger and the first thought that came into my mind was that that was the ring we looked at 3 years ago me and Jan.*3 years Ago*We were strolling in the street me and Jan. This was his first day at work so in order to celebrate he took me on a date. It wasn’t a fancy date in a restaurant but we went to the shore of the river and ate the most delicious kebab sandwiches in the whole world. I didn’t eat it before so Jan decided that I should try it. After that we went and got an ice cream and walked on the shore for a while. Then, Jan took me to the amusement park and we had lots of fun and now we’re strolling in some street out of the park when we found a jewelry shop.

Even Noah, I’m very disappointed in him. When grandpa opened his mouth to say something I said immediately “I’ll go with Jan” they were all surprised even Jan. After that being said, I headed out without saying a word to anyone. A while later, Jan joined me and we went to his car. “I must say I’m surprised” he said smirking. “Don’t be that surprised. I’m still mad at you but I’m mad at them more. At least you had the audacity to come and apologize” I said while getting into the car. “Well, to be fair you didn’t give them a chance to explain even Noah. The guy has been trying to talk to you all night and you’ve been giving him the silent treatment” Was he defending Noah? I must’ve hit my head. When he noticed the surprise on my face he said “He’s not a bad guy. I thought at first that he was after you but he ca

    Jan’s POV I was worried about her. She’s not okay. I know that she wasn’t going to accept it and carry on but I didn’t think she would be that upset. Is being engaged to me something that bad that she’s having a hard time to accept? “Look man, she’s just processing. Give her sometime and she’s going to be okay” someone said behind me and when I turned and looked at him he was Noah. “Yeah” I said nonchalantly. Actually, he’s the last one I wanted to see right now “I know you’re not really fond of me but I promise there’s nothing going on between me and Sarah. We’re only two best friends who shared the same pain at the same time” he said sadly. “What does that mean?” I asked not knowing what pain he’s talking about. “Three years ago, we met at college. It was the first day for both of us at college. We were both coming with the same pain. The pain of having to give up on someone you really love just for their own good” he said. I was about to say something when he continued. “Just as
