Crossing the line

Ozge came out of the bathroom wiping her hair. She stopped as the words of Ferit rang in her head. At that moment, when he said those words, her heart skipped a beat.

''What are you thinking about, Ozge? Have you gone crazy?'' Ozge shook her head and threw the towel away before going to lay on her bed.

'Ozge, I want you!'

'Ozge, I want you!'

'Ozge, I want you!''

Ozge sat up and sighed. The words kept ringing in her ears even when she closed her eyes. She couldn't sleep.

Ozge got down from the bed and picked her long blue dress and put on. She picked her purse and phone and looked at the time.

''22:00PM!'

….

When Ozge walked towards the reception, she saw Ferit talking to the receptionist. Ozge flushed and was about to turn back when Ferit saw her. She bit her lips and gave a low cuss.

''Darn it''

''Ozge, is everything alright?'' Ferit walked to her.

''Oo, everything is fine. I just came out to get a drink at the bar. What about you?''

''Same, I was asking the reception where the bar was. She said it's over there. Let's go''

''I don't think it's a good idea…'' Ozge said softly.

''Are you afraid I will tell you that I want you again?'' Ferit asked. His voice wasn't exactly low the two ladies and man at the reception heard him. They looked at them and giggled.

''You…'' Ozge frowned and walked away hurriedly. Ferit chuckled and turned to wink at the receptionists and they smiled.

''Fighting!'' the man at the reception said to Ferit.

…

Ferit entered the bar and looked around. He saw Ozge sitting at a corner and he went over and sat across her.

''What do you want?'' Ozge asked as she drunk her bottle of beer.

''You know what I want'' Ferit said confidently.

''Were you always this shameless?''

''No, but I think you are the second person I am being shameless with. My late wife and now you''

''Be careful, Director Ferit. You might get into a scandal with me. It won't be good for your status''

''Waiter!'' Ferit called and the waiter walked over, 'I will have what she is drinking''

''Yes, sir'' the waiter nodded with a smile and walked away.

''What I said earlier on… I was serious''

Ozge spat the beer in her mouth and it splashed on Ferit. Her face became red as she looked at him.

''Sorry!'' Ozge said.

''It's alright'' Ferit said and removed his handkerchief. He wiped his face and his shirt before asking, 'do you react this way when a man is interested in you?''

''You are not interested in me. You are just curious about me''

''Who are you to define my feelings? I don't say things spontaneously. I am serious with everything I do, both in actions and words. Once I say I want you, I won't stop at nothing to get you''

''Why do you want me? There is nothing good about me. I have a criminal record. I was stripped off my doctor position and demoted because of my stubbornness and… I am considered a woman who is dangerous to men. Why would you want someone like me?''

''It's precisely because of those things that I want you. A woman like you lives life with focus and Amanda likes you''

''Is that enough reason for you to want me?''

''Me, but… I think, no, I know I am definitely attracted to you. Your eyes are deep and I want to get into your head. I want to know what you think about and most importantly, I want to take away the sadness in your eyes''

''That… is a grandeur dream you have there, Director Ferit. Unfortunately, I don't share the same sentiments with you'' Ozge's voice choked when she spoke.

''When I set my eyes on something, I never let go and you are the one my eyes only see''

….

A while later, Ozge's looked at Ferit with a blurry gaze. It was obvious she was drunk and all her actions weren't coherent enough.

''You… jerk!''

''What?'' Ferit looked at her and chuckled saying, 'you are drunk, Ozge''

''I am not drunk… listen to me. I have gone through a lot of things but you…'' Ozge stood up and stumbled. Ferit reacted fast and caught her just when she was about to fall.

''Be careful…''

''Let go of me. Don't think that you can take advantage of me. I am very… very… what is the right word to use?'' she looked at Ferit with a confused expression.

''Do you mean sober?''

''Yes… yes, that word. I am very… sover…'' she said lifting her hand in the air.

''It's sober, not sover… there is no word like sover''

''Shut up!'' Ozge pushed him away and stepped back. She looked at him with an annoyed expression, ''why are you so handsome? Can't you… can't you be a little ugly so that I wouldn't think twice about rejecting you?''

Ferit's gaze shifted and he looked at her. It seems this was the real Ozge he was interacting with. Not the indifferent Ozge she made herself out to be on daily basis but her true self.

''If I knew you would be so honest when you are drunk, I would have just gotten you drunk a long time ago''

''What? You little…'' Ozge frowned and sat back. She picked the remaining bottle of beer to drink and Ferit snatched it away.

''That's enough drinking for the day. Tomorrow you are going to cuss yourself for drinking too much. We have a busy day tomorrow too''

Ozge looked at him and started crying, taking Ferit by surprised.

''Ozge, why are you crying?''

''You refused to let me drink. I… I want to drink'' Ozge said and slapped him.

''You…'' Ferit touched his cheek and sighed.

''That jerk. You are the same. You and Logan are the same… I should have been careful. I fell for his words and he betrayed me. I… I… I really, really, really liked him but what did he do? He cheated on me and not just with anyone but someone I knew very well. How could he do this to me? He told me I was the only one but he was screwing someone else'' Ozge said aloud and the few people at the counter turned to look at them.

''Ozge, I think it's time to go. I will send you to your room'' Ferit stood up and held Ozge's hand.

''Beautiful… why are your fingers so pretty?'' Ozge frowned and pulled Ferit's fingers towards her mouth.

''Hey… hey, hey!'' Ferit took his hands away when she bit his fingers. He looked at his fingers and sighed, ''I should really be careful around you'' Ferit said and pulled her up. She crashed into his chest and looked at him smiling.

''Why are you suddenly smiling''

''I want you!''

''What?''

Ozge smiled and wrapped her arms around his face, squeezing him gently, ''I want you but I can't have you''

''You already have me, now, let's get you to your room'' Ferit picked her phone and purse and walked out with her as she continued to murmur.

When they got to her room, he removed the card and opened the door, sending her inside. He closed the door with his leg and carried her over to the bed.

''Whoa, you are really heavy when you are drunk. Looks like I have to make you do a little exercise once we get back to home'' Ferit said as he held his waist. He turned and was about to leave when Ozge held his hand and pulled him.

Because he wasn't prepared for whatever she was going to do, he ended up falling on top of her on the bed. Ferit's face became red when he saw her cleavage. He coughed and looked away.

''Why do you want me?'' Ozge asked and looked at him. For a moment, Ferit almost thought she was no longer drunk because her gaze was sharp and clear.

''You are going to regret this tomorrow. You might even avoid me tomorrow when you remember this, Ozge''

''Let tomorrow take care of itself. Do you want me or my body?'' Ozge asked.

Ferit tried to get up and she pushed him to the side of the bed and turned to face him.

''Where are you going?''

''I'm going to my room so that I wouldn't end up crossing the line with you, Ozge. If I spend any more time here, I might cross the line and once I do, you will never be the same again''

Ozge pouted her lips before breaking into a bright smile. She held his collar and pulled him closer and she kissed his lips before she fell off, asleep!

Ferit's body tensed and he looked at her. She was already asleep. He gasped and touched his lips.

''Ozge… you crossed the line with me first. Remember that every well!'' Ferit said and got down from the bed. He covered her with the quilt before leaving the room.
