16. Wrong Direction
“Let’s go in,” Emre pulled on my hand.
“We can go in?” I was surprised.
“Who’s here to stop us?” he teased, making me smile again, “C’mon”
I laughed and holding hands, we ran towards the sparkling water.
The water was wonderful, it was so clear you could see underneath to the rocky bed beneath.
The water was pretty shallow and so I was unafraid but I knew that even if the water had been deep, I wouldn’t have been scared. Not with Emre near.
I looked back at Emre in the water and said, “Race you to the waterfall”
I was laughing as I glanced back at his dumbstruck face.
He hadn’t known I would become the carefree Sarah again but that was how I felt.
On top of the world, like I had anything and everything in the palm of my hand.
Love was like that, made kings out of paupers and paupers out of kings.
I was tryi

His Girl 17. We Got Lost
It had somehow gotten dark while we weren’t looking and the trees around us had started giving off a decidedly nightmarish feeling. Were we going to be stuck on this remote island?Without any necessities? Without food, without a phone, how would we survive?I was thinking this as I followed Emre along a path that was barely a path, in the dark of the trees, I couldn’t even see the moon.Did he know where we were?Did he know how we’d get to the boat?Maybe he had brought me out here on purpose…Oh God I was going to go mad. I was hungry, frustrated and tired. All I wanted was to go back to the yacht and rest on a nice normal bed. I’d been up earlier than usual to prepare for the day and now, I had no energy left. I was running on fumes.“Emre, do you know where we’re going or are we lost?”“For the last time Sarah, stop panicking. Just follow me”“To the

I sat near the bonfire to dry my clothes, my plate of full of food and my mind full of Emre. He sat across from me, the bonfire between us. This was how I always felt. He seemed to be so close but always out of my reach. The length of the flames between us making us seem close but they created an insurmountable barrier that I knew I wouldn’t ever be able to cross. My thoughts turned bleak and I hastily focused on something less devastating, like Mert and Melisa. Those two gave me a good feeling, looking at them made me feel as if there were still some good and miraculous things in life. I was glad for them, I loved happy endings and it seemed like Mert was going to do everything in his power to make her happy. It was so adorable how they were both sitting a little apart from everyone, in their own bubble, even eating from the same plate. We were all sitting in a loose circle, me near Ashton, currently the only person I could tolerate. Eric and Zayn sa
His Girl 19. Truth or Dare
Pelin had taken it upon herself to entertain us tonight; I wasn’t concerned so much as long as she kept away from me.Ashton had gotten me a jacket and I was sitting cozy now, leaning into him while Emre was sitting on my other side, the faraway look in his eyes suggesting that his thoughts were elsewhere.Pelin had finally made her way over to her final destination, Eric, and was regaling with apparently funny stories from what I could see.Before I could ask Ashton if we could go back now, Zerrin who had been sitting alone stood up with an excited expression and I knew whatever it was, it couldn’t be anything good.“Guys, guys,” she said, “Let’s play Truth or Dare!”Of course she would come up with this, I should’ve known, then I would’ve pretended to be asleep.“That’s a great idea, lets,” Pelin spoke up; I could see her mind already working on how she could further d

“Okay, it’s your turn now, Mert! Who will you choose? Please don’t say Melisa though.” Zerrin complained.“Why can’t I choose Melisa?” Mert looked confused.“Because, you’ll probably just give her something easy and then we would have no fun at all”Mert frowned as if that had been his plan all along. He then looked around at all of us and his gaze settled on me, his gaze challenging. What did that mean?“I want to ask Sarah, Truth or dare?”“Sarah?” Eric looked surprised, everyone looked surprised.Heck, I was surprised, what did he want to know? Or what did he want me to do?“Truth,” I replied a little hesitatingly and got more anxious as Mert smiled.“That tattoo on your foot, what does it mean?” He asked me.I knew Mert was observant and quiet but I didn’t know he had figured out this much, because

“Thanks for nothing Ash,” I mocked him as I returned back to the bonfire. Ashton was unconcerned and just stuck out his tongue at me. Did he think I didn’t notice him setting me up with his brother all the time? He just took advantage of the fact that I never said anything to him. “So where did you learn to climb trees?” Pelin asked me. I looked up from where I was looking at my hands as Emre came and sat down next to me with a sigh. “Oh, my dad taught me when I was little,” I replied “Pity he didn’t teach you how to swim too,” Zerrin put in with a sneer, “Emre lost all that time teaching you when he could’ve enjoyed himself instead. Oh the knives were out…and they hurt. I gave a tight smile, “You’re right, it is a pity. Unfortunately my dad died before he could.” There was silence then, Zerrin’s face was pale. “I..I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” She stammered, clearly she’d been taking her lead from
His Girl 22. Kiss and Tell
This game sure seemed like more trouble than it was worth, I thought as Ashton asked me if I wanted to go next.“Sure,” I said. I had a few ideas I wanted to try out myself.“So who are you choosing Sarah?” Eric asked me and although the question was simple, his words made me wonder if he was asking me something else.“Mert,” I tilted my head at him and gave him a smile reminding him he still needed to pay for that position he’d put me in earlier.He nodded, accepting responsibility.I wasn’t going to be subtle, I wasn’t going to hold back, he’d assumed too much about me and less at the same time.“Alright, truth or dare?” I asked him.I had a plan… he’d been planning to out my feelings but now I wanted to turn the tables on him.Let us see what Mert was made of.“Truth,” he replied, a little cautiously…“
His Girl Chapter 23. On The Lips
It seemed like everyone was holding their breaths to see what Eric would do. The tension crackled in the air. A part of me was curious too. Eric had been essentially been called out on his shit.However embarrassing it seemed for Pelin, it really was a pretty clever thing she’d done, called out Eric like that.Eric really seemed to be in a bind. He kept throwing me looks as if he expected encouragement from me which was insane. Did he really think he still had any control on me?Did he still want both me and Pelin in his hands all at once? Wow, what an asshole?Pelin had apparently realized the same thing because she looked like she was about to cry.Zayn spoke up, “Hurry the fuck up man! Make up your mind,” his tone was harsh, unlike what he usually sounded like.Looks like Eric was stepping on a lot of toes with his behavior.Pelin put her hand on Eric’s shoulder and he suddenly stood up.He looked at
His Girl Chapter 24. Switching Rooms
“Hey Melisa?” I was sitting on the bed with Melisa in our room and we were both rubbing the hand cream that had been on the dressing table. It smelled so good, Emre never disappointed, “Thanks for opting to share a room with me. You saved me from Eric.” “It was my pleasure, he creeped me out today,” She said touching her lips. “Me too,” I replied, “I hope he’s gotten the message that I’m not interested in him.” Melisa’s phone rang and she picked it up on the first ring. I deduced from her side of the conversation and the blush creeping up the side of her face that it was Mert. I smiled and went into the ensuite bathroom to give her some privacy. I made a bun on top my head while I waited for her to finish and tried not to listen in on her conversation. When I came out, she was waiting for me. “I want to ask you a favor,” she said and bit her lip. “Anything,” I encouraged her. “Um it was Mert,” She pointed to her phone,
