Is this destiny?

After dinner, they cleaned the table and decided to watch a movie.

Corey let Merve pick the movie while he went to change into something more comfortable. He was wearing the shirt and pants from the prom, and it's not that it's uncomfortable, but seeing Merve in loose t-shirt and sweatpants, he wanted to match her.

While at it, Corey went to the restroom.

Corey froze at the sight of Merve's underwear at the top of the door of the shower enclosure. 

Corey reached slowly and touched the delicate fabric while trying to make sure he is not imagining it because he thought about Merve's underwear, more than once. In the next moment, he pulled his hand back. What if Merve comes and catches him touching her panties? She would think that he is a pervert! But the call of those panties was too strong to resist, so he touched them again.

"I found one action movie. I think you will like it." Merve said cheerfully when Corey returned. "My only concern is if you watched it already… can you confirm?" Merve paused when she noticed that Corey is sitting stiffly next to her. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine. Any movie is fine." Corey responded while avoiding to look at Merve. He could not stop thinking if she is wearing anything under those clothes. Did she have a second pair as a backup? Who carries a second pair of underwear around? Or did she go in the closet and get his? But he has no bra, so even if she went into his closet to find something, she could only find his briefs and that means how she is wearing HIS underwear. He was not sure what is more arousing, Merve without panties, or Merve in his underwear…

"Corey?"

Merve's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Are you OK?" She repeated the question.

"Yeah, why?"

"You are… strange. Did something happen?" She thought that he remembered something unpleasant from the prom.

Corey looked at Merve and he could not stop himself from glancing at her breasts. The t-shirt is loose, but he had the impression that her girls are more… unrestrained. Ah, he hoped that she can't see his erection. Wearing sweatpants was a bad idea because the firm fabric of the jeans would help to hide the state of his crotch area. He leaned forward and crossed his arms over his thighs.

Corey was not sure how to respond to Merve's question without making it more awkward than what it is, but Merve is looking at him and expecting an answer.

"Uhm… I was in the restroom and… I saw…"

Merve's intense blush told him that she understood.

After three seconds of awkward silence, Merve spoke quickly: "They were messed up with juice and I had to rinse them. I hope that is not a problem."

"Not a problem. Not a problem but… I have difficulty thinking about anything other than your underwear. Or to be precise, I'm thinking about you. Without underwear." Corey admitted.

Corey saw that Merve is uncomfortable and he exhaled while scolding himself internally. "I'm sorry, Merve. I know that you have a trauma and I promise to behave. I will not touch you or anything like that… Please, don't think of leaving. Can you start the movie?"

Merve was embarrassed, but she was not thinking of leaving. She wanted to tell him that her discomfort is more because she feared that he will not accept her, and that fear was much stronger compared to what her father did. And even though Corey said that he is fine with that, part of Merve still thinks of herself as dirty... but she didn't want to talk about it. It would ruin the evening which was a rollercoaster ride anyway.

Corey confirmed that he will not do anything without her consent and that made Merve relax.

She started the movie while feeling guilty for making him feel bad. Corey has no reason to feel bad because everything he did was right.

Merve likes Corey and she wants to be close to him. The fact that he is having lewd thoughts about her should be a good thing, right? He is a healthy eighteen years old boy, and it would be strange if he does not have those thoughts. And Merve would be lying if she says that she is not thinking about doing all kinds of things with Corey but now because of her previous behavior, Corey is insecure, and he even promised that he will not touch her.

Neither of them paid attention to what was happening on the screen.

Five minutes into the movie, Merve moved closer to Corey and leaned on him. He was stiff so she took his arm and wrapped it around her so that she can snuggle closer.

Of course, the only thing Corey could think about was the fact that Merve has no underwear on. And that means that his sweatpants (which are on Merve) are currently touching her private parts. Ah, how he wished to become sweatpants… Corey was sure that he is losing his mind, and the pressure in his crotch area was impossible to ignore. He needed to move away from Merve.

"Do you want popcorn?" Corey offered.

"No."

"Something to drink?"

"No."

Corey exhaled, unsure what else to offer. "OK."

"I want you to kiss me."

Corey craned his neck and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

Merve pouted. "Hey, I want a real kiss."

Corey licked his lips nervously and gave her a longer kiss, but he was still reserved.

Merve was frustrated. Why is he acting like he swallowed a stick? She grabbed Corey's head and deepened the kiss.

Corey balled his hands into fists so that he prevents himself from fondling her, and Merve noticed.

"Corey…" Merve called. "Don't you want to… touch me?"

"Very much." Corey admitted. "However, I remember how you freaked out the last time and I don't want to cause you distress again."

Merve looked at Corey and her chest was full of warm and fuzzy feeling. He is super-caring, and he would rather keep his hands to himself than to risk making her uncomfortable.

Merve remembered her talk with Zula. Zula asked her how things are going with Corey, and Merve told her that she would like to move beyond kisses, but she has bad experiences that are preventing her from moving forward. Zula told Merve that good experiences can overwrite bad ones, and the only two prerequisites are that the other person is aware of the situation and that she trusts him. And Merve is confident that Corey fulfills both conditions.

Merve took Corey's hand in hers and slowly guided her toward her chest.

"I want to feel your touch." Merve said in a shaky voice. She was nervous to the point of her insides trembling.

Corey held his breath as his palm landed on Merve's left breast. It was soft, yet firm and… wonderful.

Corey peeled his eyes from his hand which is holding onto Merve and observed her red face. "Is this OK?"

"Can you please, not ask?" Merve didn't dare look him in the eyes.

"How do I know if I'm doing something that is crossing the line?"

"Corey…" Merve lifted her gaze and met his eyes. "I love you. There are no lines."

Corey inhaled a choppy breath. Does this mean…? He wanted to ask, but Merve just told him not to ask any questions. He thought about touching her and going all the way many times before and now… she said that there are no lines and gave him permission to move forward, without asking questions.

Corey licked his lips nervously. "Merve… If I do something you don't approve of… tell me. OK?"

Merve nodded in response. She thought about how this is awkward because they are having a conversation about consent while his hand is holding onto her breast. However, other than being something she never experienced, she likes it because it's with Corey. Everything with him is right.

Corey inched closer and Merve closed her eyes, expecting his kiss.

"I love you, Merve…" Corey spoke into her lips before claiming them with his.
