Lisa's POV

"You're changing the subject," I said, trying to make him tell me what “gynaika mou” meant.

"Yes, I am," he said, grinning and getting up. "I’m going to take a shower. Do you want to join me?" he asked and winked.

I folded my arms over my chest. I scowled and said, "No."

"Ok," he said with an arrogant smile and went to the bathroom.

“Arrogant bastard,” I murmured. I’m going to learn what “gynaika mou” meant.

I put on his T-shirt as he came back into the room. He was wrapping a towel very low around his waist. Drops of water were dripping down from his hair. Why does he have to be sexy and handsome?

"Enjoying the view?" he asked, smirking at me arrogantly. I rolled my eyes.

"A little," I said arrogantly.

He wants to play a game then I’ll play.

He raised his eyebrow. "A little?" he asked, moving closer to me. I nodded. "I’ll change your mind." He pulled me close to him by my waist and started tickling me.

"Stop…Zack" I laughed.

"A little?" he asked again with a sardonic smile.

"Yeah," I said between laughs.

He pushed me down onto the bed and crawled on top of me. He continued tickling me.

"Stop…I…can’t…breathe," I said laughing. But he didn’t stop.

"You know the magic words," he said, smirking arrogantly.

"Ok…ok…stop…I…like…it…very…much."

He stopped. "Good girl."

He got up with a smug smile. I got up quickly. I narrowed my eyes at him. I went to the bathroom. Before closing the door, I turned back and said, "A little." I pulled my tongue out and closed the door quickly. I heard his laugh.

After taking a shower, I put on my denim shorts and a white crop top. I went to the terrace. I noticed that Zack was talking on the phone in Greek.

When he noticed me, he told me to wait a minute with a gesture.

I sat on the couch and looked at him. He wore a pair of light brown shorts and a khaki shirt. He looked very handsome as always. But he hid his blue eyes under his black sunglasses, my favorite eyes in the world. They are blue like the Aegean sea, my favorite shade of blue.

He hung up and walked towards me. I smiled. He smiled back. He placed a soft kiss on my lips and asked, "Ready?"

"Yes."

Zack took me to Santorini's most popular beach—Kamari Beach.

After we swam, I went to rest on a sun lounger. A little later, Zack came. He stood in front of me, smirking. And before I realized what was going to happen, he had thrown me over his shoulder.

"Zack put me down!" I yelled.

"No, it’s time for revenge," he said. He threw me into the water. He looked at me with a smirk.

The arrogant bastard! I narrowed my eyes at him and yelled at him, "You arrogant bastard!"

"Hey, gynaika mou. Watch your beautiful mouth."




I raised my eyebrow

I raised my eyebrow. I will get payback for this. "Ahhh!" His expression changed. He jumped into the water. "Ahhh!"

He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him. "Lisa, what happened? Are you alright?" he asked anxiously. I started laughing.

He looked at me, dumbfounded. His expression hardened. His jaw clenched.

Oops. That wasn't a good idea.

"Are you crazy? I was scared that something might have happened to you!" he shouted at me. "Fuck…I…" His voice was cold. He was angry.

I placed my hand on his cheek. I turned his face towards me and said, "Zack, I'm sorry. It was a joke." He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath. He tried calming down. I kissed his cheek. "Sorry." I hugged him. A few seconds later, he hugged me back.

"Don’t do it again," he murmured.

"I promise."

He kissed my forehead and then pulled back. A playful smile appeared on his face. And he splashed water.

"Hey." I narrowed my eyes.

He laughed. I smiled back and splashed water too. We laughed and swam. After spending time on the beach, we went to have lunch. After, we went to the shops.

In the evening, we went to the Open Air Cinema Kamari. It was one of the best open-air cinemas in the world with director’s chairs, tasty cocktails and, of course, popcorn.

After a movie, we went home. I was tired.

We went to the terrace and sat on the couch. Zack wrapped his arms around me. I leaned back against his chest.

Zack's POV

I was stroking her hair as we cuddled, my first cuddle; I smiled. What are you doing to me gynaika mou?

I placed a kiss on her hair and said, "Lisa, gynaika mou means…"

When I looked at her, she was sleeping in my arms; I smiled. I got up carefully and scooped her in my arms. I carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed, carefully. She blinked, but she didn’t open her eyes again.

I took her clothes off and pulled the blanket over her body. I took my clothes off and laid beside her. She wrapped her arm around my waist and buried her head into the hollow of my neck. I smiled, placing a soft kiss on her hair.

"Good night, gynaika mou."


Lisa's POV

I opened my eyes the following morning. Zack was sleeping. I stroked his cheek and kissed his lips. I pulled his arm away carefully and got up.

It was raining outside. I put on a gray mini dress. I went to the kitchen and made breakfast.

Zack walked into the kitchen. He was wearing a pair of navy blue shorts.

He walked towards me. He wrapped his arms around me and buried his head in my hair, inhaling the smell of my hair.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, gynaika mou." He kissed my neck.

After having breakfast, he talked on the phone again. His expression was serious. It must be related to work.

As I waited for his call to end, I looked out the window and watched the beautiful scenery outside. I had my arms folded over my chest when I felt Zack near behind me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"Is there a problem?" I asked.

He breathed deeply. "No. Everything is okay." He kissed my neck. He turned me around and kissed my lips passionately. He pulled his lips back and held my hand. "Come with me."

We went into the bedroom.
