My Greek Lovers

Chapter 5

Kristy's POV

The next day we had more free time to explore Mykonos on our own and Emily convinced Theo to take us to the beach.

"Theo I can't believe you live here!" Emms said looking out at the picturesque sandy beach that stood before us.
"I agree. It definitely feels like I'm dreaming right now. Everything is so beautiful" I add.
"It is beautiful but I don't live here. I grew up on the island of Créte and now live in Athens. It's where my business is based out of. I moved there when I started this tourist company. Athens has the largest urban concentration and fastest-growing population. It made sense for opportunities when growing my business." he explained.
"Wow, Theo! That's really brave of you. And I'd say your business is doing great!" Emms complimented him in the flirtiest way possible!
"It could be better...off-season can be very slow. I'm working on trying to branch out to different islands to gain more attraction. But anyway...not being from here, I don't know many local hang out places for you girls that aren't too touristy. I asked a friend who lives here to help direct me"
"Well, we trust you Theo, right Kristy?"
Of course, we trust you, Theo. No pressure. You have this whole tour to run so we can simply enjoy the food." I said with the sun beating down on me.
"Hey, I'm going to grab an iced coffee at the market. Do you guys want anything?"
"No thanks Babe" Emms replied.
"Do you need me to come with you to help translate?" Theo offered.
"I hope I should be fine" not wanting to take him anyway from a moment alone with Emily.

I slip on my bathing suit cover-up and walk along the streets to the market bustling with locals out for lunch.

I came across a street vendor selling what looked like a cross between bread and pretzel and naturally my stomach was intrigued.
