My Mykonos Dream

Chapter 1

Kristy's POV

"Éna kafé frappé parakaló"
"Éna....kafé...frappé...parkolo...?" I try to say it after him.
"Getting better" he laughs and I smack his chest.
He turns back to the man in the local coffee shop and speaks to him in their natural dialogue.
"Aftí eínai i ómorfo Kristy mou apó tin Amerikí. Tha parangeilei pánta éna frappé"
"What did you say to him?" I asked Eros and he simply wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.
"Just introducing you as my beautiful love. He understands now every time you come in here, this will be your regular order. I don't want you to have to worry if I'm not with you" he says sincerely.

Eros and I had arrived back in Mykonos a week ago. Because leaving the dramatics aside, I didn't just race to the airport in an effort to win him back and hop on the plane to my new home.
A) I had driven to the airport.
B) I didn't even buy the right plane ticket to Greece. They were sold out and I just bought a ticket to anywhere to get me through security in a hurry.
C) I didn't even have a suitcase with me.

So, Eros and I decided to stay a week in San Francisco. I packed up my apartment, shipped some boxes to Greece, sold my car to get a cushion of cash in my pocket, and most importantly, I wanted to properly say my goodbyes to everyone.

I was completely moving to Greece! That was a big step! I said a prolonged goodbye to Emily and introduced Eros to my parents. Another important step since I was packing up the life I knew to move to a foreign country with this man. They loved him of course, even though they were sad their one and only daughter was moving halfway across the world, they were happy for me.

"So what are you going to do today?" Eros asked me.
"I think I'm going to plant myself right here and officially going to start my blog website" I said excitedly.
"I'm really proud of you my love. I know you'll do great" He smiles and kisses my hand looking deep into my eyes.
"And I promise soon I'll take some time off at the restaurant and we can travel somewhere to taste new foods"
"You're amazing!" I say caressing his face. "But you don't have to do that for me. I know you've already taken a lot of time off. Plus, I already have more than enough foods to write about from my time here"
"Are you sure you're going to be alright here on your own? You can come to the restaurant and write there" he says nervously not wanting to leave.
"I'll be fine here with...what's his name?" I gesture with my eyes to the barista man behind the counter.
"Spiro"
"I'll be fine here with Spiro. Go! I'll see you when you get home" I say pulling him in for another one of his kisses that I can't get enough of.

I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was dreaming or at least having an extended vacation. But here I was in the market of Mykonos, my iced frappé coffee in hand, beginning a website for my blog, my passion, my forever dream!

It had been incredible spending time with Eros as I was slowly receiving more bags and boxes from Emily as I move into Eros's apartment. Of course, knowing Emms, she had slipped a few of her pieces of clothing into my bags with a note from her that said 'Flaunt what you got! You're a Greek Goddess now!' Typical Emms, I already miss her so much!
