Chapter 3
Lena and Kostos made their way down Mount Megalos Agios Ilios on Kostos's vespa. Lena held on tight as Kostos made the sharp turns back to the town of Oia, and rested her head on the back of his shoulder. She reflected on the day's events and a smile crawled onto her lips as she thought of the stories she would have for the girls when she returned. Lena closed her eyes and tried to capture every moment from the day. Every smile, every kiss, every touch, every feeling, was captured in her mind and saved for replay for whenever Lena desired it. Lena opened her eyes and soon saw beautiful Oia in the distance.
"We're back so soon?" Lena questioned.
Kostos laughed, "Don't worry I'm not disposing of you yet! I just wanted to share with you the most beautiful gift bestowed on our Santorini, the sunset."
Lena sighed with relief as Kostos placed his arm around her shoulder, and led her to what seemed like the end of the town, right before it fell into the ocean. There was a giant windmill and nothing but clear blue ocean for miles in front of them.
"Ela! Let me help you up here." Kostos grabbed Lena's hand and pulled her onto the flat roof of one of the houses which speckled the cliffs.
"This Lena, is the best view, of the best sunset, in which all of Greece has to offer. Nothing can defy its beauty." Kostos said this as he pointed into the distance.
Kostos was not exaggerating when he said this. The huge orb of fire glowed brightly as it hit the horizon, sending off gleaming rays of lights, and causing the water to sparkle. It was a thrilling sight and Lena sighed with satisfaction as the orange globe disappeared.
"That was amazing, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Lena stammered.
"I know, I've seen it thousands of times over and it still stuns me, but seeing it with you makes me feel like I've never seen it before." Kostos answered.
Lena blushed a deep crimson, and Kostos kissed her on her forehead. The pair climbed down from the roof, and walked to one of the tiny harbors for dinner. They were seated and ate under the moonlight. They talked about everything including Lena's home, which brought Lena to the realization that this was the last moment she would have with Kostos.
"Kostos, will you promise to keep in touch? To write to me whenever you can?" Lena questioned.
Kostos looked at Lena with all seriousness. "Of course I will. I won't let you get away Lena; I'll always try to hold on to you."
Lena smiled. "Good, because I plan on holding onto you as well. You know, I don't believe my friends are going to know who I am when I return home. In this one day I've changed more then I ever thought possible. I've become the person who I always wanted to be, someone who wasn't afraid to be loved or love in return. That's a lesson which you've taught me, and I'll never forget that."
Lena and Kostos finished dinner and walked through the moonlighted streets back to Lena's grandparents' home. They stopped and Lena leaned against the egg yolk colored door.
"Well, here we are." Lena half smiled while trying to hold back tears, but to no avail one slid down her cheek.
"Don't cry Lena, this isn't the end but only the beginning. We will see each other again, I promise, and I'll come in the morning to see you off." He kissed her tears away, and eventually found her lips. They began a passionate kiss into which the emotions of the day were expressed far beyond words.
"S'agapo. I'll see you tomorrow. Kalinihta." Kostos said as he let go of Lena's hand and headed back to his home.
Lena ran up stairs to her room and through her window watched him head home. When she could see him no longer she let her last tears fall from her eyes, and pulled herself back together. She then heard a knock at her door.
It was her grandmother. "Lena, did you have a nice time?" she asked as she sat down on the bed.
"Nicer than ever." Lena replied.
"Well I'm glad. Oh, by the way, a package came for you today. Kalinihta." Lena's grandmother said as she placed the package on the bed.
Lena immediately knew what the package was, and ripped it open revealing the pants. She hugged them realizing that they were going to give her the strength to leave this beautiful town, her grandparents, and most importantly of all, Kostos. She placed them at the foot of her bed where they would be ready for tomorrow's events. They calmed her as she saw them there, and she knew that everything would be alright. As she slid off into sleep she knew she would see Kostos and beautiful Oia again.
Yay! That's it, hope you enjoyed. REVIEW PLEASE!
