I snapped out of the memory right before it fast-forwarded to us dancing the night away, and I was pulling her in for the first of many kisses. We weren’t that couple that pretended we didn’t want each other. Instead, we were the type that enjoyed the teasing. We knew we were going to end up together, but we had fun until we were so in love that we couldn’t see our right from our lefts. Then, I had to make the hardest decision in my life, which was to walk away from her. I had never wanted to hold her and kiss her like I wanted to do that night that I walked away. If I had, then my uncle, or rather the entire Demir family, would’ve done something to her. I knew what kind of family they were; I had never lied to myself about how much money my family seemed to have. Even with the businesses and law firms, we were hardcore gangsters. We were the mafioso, but none of that meant a thing to me as much as she did. To this day, I was never going to ever tell her why I walked away. I’d rather her see me as the world’s worst ex-fiancée than the man who sacrificed even his love for her so that she wouldn’t be harmed.

At that time, I had no power or say, but now, none of them could touch me. I proved that I was indeed a Demir. I showed them the name meant nothing to me without my family. They already took my baba away from me then snatched away my choice to be with the one woman I loved. As if that wasn’t enough, they took my baby sister. I didn’t have any more love to give out, except to my anne and Amir.

Damn! Seeing Neema in front of me conjured up more memories than I had in a while. Of course, I didn’t forget her, despite not thinking about her all the time. Yet, the one memory that decided to take over my mind at this moment was of that same night.

After we got some drinks in us, Neema couldn’t sit still. She danced in her seat though as we all talked and laughed instead of worrying about the world for one day. Unfortunately, that didn’t last long as Janet Jackson’s song, “All For You,” began playing. The moment the first words began and then the beat, Neema lost it. She stopped mid-drink and mid-convo as she stood and walked away from us, moving her hips side to side. Carla was amused while Eric and I just stared, not sure what to make of it.

Neema made it to the dance floor. She threw her hands up in the air as she moved her body to the music. She didn’t even care who was there. Instead, she sang along with the song and kept up with her dance moves. In the middle of the song, she realized she was dancing without the rest of us.
