Chapter 108 - CHAPTER 108

The heart wants peace

It wants its desire to be fulfilled

It yearns for something that hasn't been wished by it earlier

The heart wants the feeling /sensation of your presence

It wishes for you, Day and evening it desires for you.

Amy turned off the lights of Ozan's nursery, peeking at his sprawled figure on his crib. Today was a tiring day for him too, she smiled at how he was growing, just in a few days he was turning two.

Turning on the baby monitor and keeping the door slightly open she turned towards her room but halted and went to the next which was going to be their room from now on.

As she entered inside, a sigh escaped her lips. It was a little weird for her after all it was the first time ever she was going to settle and sleep in his room. She wondered how nervous she would be in Daniel's presence.

'Stop acting like a virgin teenager!' Amy reprimanded herself.

Before going shopping with Nadia, Amy moved all her clothes and belongings into his room. It was spacious enough so she didn't have any problem with her things.

She went inside the closet, taking the towel. Her gaze fell on the shopping bags placed there. After coming back from her trip, she didn't have any energy to arrange the clothes and shoes she bought because of Nadia. Her eyes settled on the black nightgown Nadia bought her.

The idea of wearing that to bed with Daniel provoked all the wild thoughts in her mind, she clenched her thighs together feeling a tingly sensation there. Instantly shaking off her thoughts, she grabbed her silk pyjamas and placed them on the bed before entering the bathroom.

She felt her sore muscles relaxing as the hot water hit her body washing away the tiredness and her thoughts from earlier which she never imagined having for Daniel.

Amy sighed while washing her body with Daniel's shampoo as she forgot to bring her's there. Today was really exhausting with moving things and going on that shopping spree with Nadia. She vowed never to say yes to Nadia for shopping again.

After the water turned cold, Amy wrapped a towel around her naked body as she came out of the bathroom running fingers through her damp hair.

Daniel pressed a smile kiss on Ozan's temple, tugging the blanket under his chin. He really missed seeing him all day but thanks to that stupid meeting.

Without making any noise, he stepped outside his nursery. Today had been a waste of time with him as the deal didn't go according to his requirement. The opposite company was trying to lure him into more profit and low-quality products which were unacceptable for him. Signing off the deal, he decided to return home to his baby boy not wanting to spend the night in the hotel alone.

'You also missed his mother.' His subconscious teased making him roll his eyes.

He was already tired from the meeting and then travelling not wanting to deal with any trouble.

But life, as we know it surely, had a thing for him. 

Daniel entered his room shrugging off his coat and tie, discarding them on the couch but as he looked at his room he blinked twice to see if the scene around him was his imagination or reality.

His dresser that once only had his colognes and perfumes also had an addition of lipsticks and other makeup products. On the nightstands, there was now a portrait of Ozan and on the other one a childhood pic of him and Amy playing in her garden.

Now coming to the bed, there was a blue silk pyjama set placed on the edge. Just by looking at those things he knew whom they belonged to, he wasn't oblivious but the question was what were her things doing in his room.

Daniel double-checked observing the surroundings to see that if he mistakenly came to her room but no it was his bedroom.

He heard the sound of the bathroom door opening as he turned around only to have his breathing hitched.

There she was stepping out, running her fingers through her damped hair. Amy squeaked when she saw him standing in the middle of the room. Wasn't he supposed to return in the morning?

Daniel's gaze went on her wet body covered with a towel, the water dripping down on her legs making all the blood rush to a certain part of his body.

"D-daniel!" She breathed out but realising her lack of clothing, she clutched the towel closer to her body.

He closed his eyes for a second, calming the tightening in his pants.

"What are you doing here!" He seethed, resulting from his uneasiness.

"Uh-oh!" Amy swallowed, thinking of something to say.

"I was…. I was taking a shower!" Amy muttered with a sheepish smile. The speech she had prepared for this moment vanished from his mind.

"I am pretty sure you have a bathroom and shower in your room too!" Daniel asked, crossing his arms. Whenever he tried to build his resolve back, this woman was there to break it.

She knew she was caught now, 

"Uhm, Ozan wanted both his parents to sleep in the same room!"

"Amy, even Ozan can make better excuses than you!"

The tension in the room increased as Daniel continued to stare at her face, his gaze fixed there not travelling down.

Amy bit the insides of her cheek, the heat at the moment was not even letting her feel cold in a towel.

Letting out a breath, she muttered the truth.

"I moved into this room!"

Daniel's head started throbbing, he just came back to give his mind a little rest not to get encircled by chaos.

"Why?" He asked, keeping his calm.

Amy tucked a strand of her damped hair behind his ear before shrugging looking him in the eye.

"I...I belong here Daniel and I should have done this before!"

Daniel scoffed, stepping closer to her, a certain unrest could be seen in his eyes as they changed their colour from light to dark.

"What exactly do you want Amy? I let you back into our lives just because of Ozan, so we could co-parent him. First, you barge in my privacy, digging up my past and then you move into my room without asking me. Just who do you think you are?"

What a bitter choice of words as they pinged into her ears making her hold loose on the towel but she refused to show that hole in her confidence.

"I don't need to explain to you again Daniel that I am trying to mend the things I have messed up. I am not only Ozan's mother but your best friend and wife too and I have the right to live in your room and share your privacy!" Amy said with confidence.

Daniel wanted to laugh at her for calling herself his wife and friend. Sure he could see the changes and efforts she was making for him but was it a game for her to break and insult every relation, and then come back claiming to be his wife? He wanted to yell at her for making his feelings and emotions a child's play. Winding them into a deeper turmoil but he kept his calm.

"Amy, go back to your room otherwise.."

"Otherwise you will kick me out!" 

Her tone was daring as she gazed directly into his eyes. She knew with Daniel it was always now or never. Though inside she was trembling a bit, either from the cold or his stoic face but outside she covered it with a look of defiance.

"Or are you afraid that you couldn't hold yourself back near me? That being close to me will break your resolve."

Something clicked in his eyes as he took a step towards her clenching his fist making her take a step back as he continued to inch closer to her making her back collide with the wall, leaving no room for escape. Amy's breathing staggered, Okay she wasn't expecting this. Was he really giving in?

Daniel placed both his arms on the wall, their faces just a breath away.

"Daniel!" Amy whispered with a smile, this situation was getting more heated now with Amy in a mere covering towel and Daniel in his unbuttoned shirt.

He smirked, noticing his staggered breathing and nervous state. If she wanted to play then he was letting her but this time he wasn't letting his heart get broken again. He just had to keep his distance and act in a platonic way but the way she was in front of him, trapped between his arms, was difficult. It was like challenging his own sanity.

He leaned down, his mouth just an inch from her, he breathed out fanning her face as she closed her eyes with a gasp anticipating a kiss but he moved to whisper in her ear.

"You want to play rough, fine let's play Amy but be careful because it will not be easy to break my resolve this time!"

With that, he moved past her into the bathroom leaving her dumbstruck and flushed.
