When Angie opened her eyes, Chanette was sitting by her side, “Where am I?”2

“You’re in hospital.”3

“What happened?”4

“You had an accident.”5

“Oh, what? How?’6

“By the looks of it, the truck ran a red light, and you decided to make the Mercedes a convertible.”7

Angie tried to laugh, but it hurt too much.8

“It’s not funny, you were almost killed.”  Stavros bellowed from the doorway.9

“What’s it doing here?”  Angie asked Chanette looking in Stavros’s direction.10

“I don’t know what to do to get rid of him.  He walks around here like a bull in a china shop.”  Chanette whispered into Angie’s ear.11

“Was any-one else hurt?”12

“No, no-one.  Tell me girlfriend, what happened to make you so mad?”13

Angie glanced at Stavros, “What else?”  Looking up at Stavros, Angie beckoned him over, “Have you sorted out the shit you started?”14

Walking over to where she lay, he handed her a bouquet of red roses, “These are for you Angie baby.”15

“Firstly, you can take those red roses, and shove them as deep up your tight arse as possible, and secondly, have you sorted everything out?”16

“Yes Angie baby, I did that yesterday.”17

“Yesterday?”  Angie looked at Chanette feeling very confused.18

“Angie baby,” Chanette mocked, ”you’ve been unconscious for the past two days.”19

“Angie baby?” Stavros started.20

“And you can get the hell out of my face!”  Angie snapped at him21

“When are you going to stop hating me?”22

“When you get the hell out of my life and my company.  It’s your fault that I’m laying here, if you weren’t such a pain in my life, I wouldn’t have been so upset.  And perhaps I could have avoided the accident.  Now fuck off out of my room before I call security.”23

“I’m going.” Stavros crept out of her room.24

“What’s going on Angie?” Chanette scuttled over to Angie’s side.25

“I hate that man so much.  I want to get sick at the thought of him.”26

“What happened between the two of you?”27

“I don’t want to talk about it.”28

“Okay, just remember I’m here for you if you do what to talk.”29

“Shanz, please find me a doctor, I want to find out when I can get out of here.”30

“Sure thing,” Chanette left the room, leaving Angie to her thoughts once again.31

Angie was thinking back to her youth, when she first met Stavros.  It was a couple of days after Anthony’s famous birthday party; she was on holiday, enjoying the sun, and tanning on the beach.  She was approached by a group of kids her age, “Hello, you with come?’  One of them asked in very bad broken English.32

“Excuse me?”33

“Come join us,” one of the other guys translated.34

“Where?”35

“We’re going to the taverna, come join us.”36

“Thanks, that will be nice.”37

“I’m Stavros,” he introduced himself, “this is Elena, Chris, Athena and Marina,” he continued.38

“I’m Angie.”39

Stavros was the tall, dark, handsome, older Greek God look-alike that you dream of as a young girl, and Angie had fallen head over heals in love with him the moment she laid her eyes on him.  He was the perfect gentleman.  Later on night he had a little too much to drink, and forced himself on Angie.  Angie was informed later the same day that Stavros had arranged the whole thing.  He knew that she was the daughter of one of the richest men in Greece and was using her to get into her father’s business.  Angie was horrified.  She was even more horrified 3 months later to find out that she was pregnant.  Stavros saw this as the perfect opportunity.  Angie’s father saw right through him.  Stavros threatened to expose his perfect little daughter to the tabloids if he did not get a job in the company.  Angie’s father thought it would be safer to have him work there, where he could keep and eye on him, than anywhere else.  Angie was sent away until she had her son, Jimmy.  40

Her father was ecstatic that there would be an heir to his empire, he put twenty percent of the company’s shares into Jimmy’s name, Angie also had twenty percent, while he owned fifty-one percent.  While Stavros managed to acquire nine percent. Stavros managed to persuade Angie’s father to let him manage Jimmy’s shares, the deal was that when Jimmy was of age he could choose where and with whom he wanted to live.  That parent would then manage Jimmy’s shares.  When Angie’s father passed away, Angie inherited half of her father shares while Jimmy inherited the other half.  Angie was always fearful that Jimmy would want to stay with his father, and Stavros would run her father’s business into the ground.  It was music to her ears when he told her that Jimmy wanted to return with her.41

“Angie.”  Chanette was calling and shaking her by the shoulders.42

“What are you doing?”43

“I thought you went unconscious again.”44

“And that is how you were planning on reviving me?”45

“Sorry, I just got a hell of a fright.”46

“I found you two doctors, Dr.’s Georgio and Alexandros.”47

“Pleased to meet you.  When can I go home?”48

“The pleasure is all ours,” they said in unison.49

“You can go home as soon as we have finished running some tests.”50

“And how long is that going to take?”51

“A day or two, depending how strong you feel and whether you feel up to it or not.”52

“I feel fine, can we start now?”53

“Not right now, you have a visitor outside.”54

“A visitor?”55

“Yes, a young boy.  I shall schedule you for tomorrow morning for the first set of tests.”  Dr. Georgio stated and was followed out the room by Dr. Alexandros.56

There was a slight knock on the door and a young face peeked in.  “Shanz, can you leave me alone for a moment please?”57

“Sure Angie, who is that?”  Chanette asked.58

“I’ll explain later, right now, I need to sort other things out.”59

Chanette left Angie and the young boy alone in the room, “Mamma, how are you?”60

“Much better now Jimmy.  Who told you I was here?”61

“Dad.  He even brought me.”62

“Why aren’t you in school?”63

“Mamma, it’s holidays for us, and I wanted to come home.  I’m tired of skiing.”64

“Listen my child, is it true that you want to come live with me?”65

“Yes mamma,”66

“Life with me is not going to be easy.  You’ll still be sent away to school, the only difference will be that you’ll have me around during holidays, and not your father.”67

“Mamma, I know that, and I still want to stay with you.  Daddy is not even there half the time.  He’s running around with this one or that one.”68

“Jimmy who says that staying with me will be any different?”69

“Mamma, I know how you live.  How do you think Daddy will react if I tell him that I have feelings for boys and girls?  At least with you I know you’ll understand.”70

“Jimmy, you saw that women that was in here with me?”71

“Yes, is she your girlfriend?”72

“No, not exactly.  But anyway, she doesn’t know that you are my child, no-one knows.”73

“Why?  Are you embarrassed about me?”74

“No, I haven’t told anyone to protect you.  I’m going to have to tell her, she is my oldest and closest friend.”75

“The one that Daddy always talks about?”76

“Knowing your father, yes!”77

“Mamma, I’ve got to go, I’m going out with friends and I promised them I wouldn’t be late.”78

“Have fun Jimmy.”  Angie said and gave her son a hug.  “Jimmy if you see Chanette, tell her I want to talk to her.”  Jimmy had hardly walked out the door when Chanette walked in.79

- 12 -80

“Angie, you have got some explaining to do!”  Chanette was demanding81

“I know I have, it’s just right now I don’t have the energy for it.”  82

Dr. Alexandros re-entered the room, “I came to let you know that everything is set for tomorrow morning.”83

“Thank-you Doctor.” Was all she could muster in reply.84

“What’s the matter? Are you in pain?  Do you want painkillers?”85

“Nothing’s wrong, I just don’t like hospitals, that’s all.”86

“Well if it is any consolation, I promise not to keep you here a moment longer than is necessary.  Now if you will excuse me, I have some sick patients to attend to.  I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.”87

“Bye,” Angie and Chanette said.88

“He sure ain’t bad looking, “ Chanette quipped, “for a man,” she added as an afterthought.89

“What? Oh I don’t know, I didn’t really take notice.”  Angie commented.90

“You are such a liar Angie. He’s gorgeous, even if I say so myself.”91

“Tell me Shanz, how long have I really been here?”92

“Two days, give or take a couple of hours.”93

“How long was that Bastard hanging around here?”94

“From the moment they wheeled you in.  He’s the one who organised the private room and all the flowers.”95

“Thrills and delights, that’s all I need in my life.  My ex-husband trying to win me back with flowers, what a jerk!”96

“Ex-husband?” Chanette asked, not expecting an answer, “Anyway not all the flowers are from him, this bunch are from me.”  She pointed to the prettiest bouquet in the room.97

“Now those are beautiful, thank you.”98

“Don’t mention it.”99

“Shanz do me a favour, take the other flowers and distribute them amongst the other wards.”100

“Are you being serious?  That’s going to really piss some-one off.”101

“Oh shit, shame.  I don’t want anything from that louse.”102

“Listen my sweetie, I have to go before they kick me out of here, and when you feel like telling me what the hell is going on, please do, because at the moment I am confused as hell!”  Chanette kissed Angie on the forehead and headed out the door.  103

Moments later a nurse came in and removed all the flowers, except Chanette’s.  Angie closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.104

Angie was woken up at the crack of dawn with some-one nudging her awake, “Ella Kiria, you make the bath now.”105

“Huh?”106

“You make the bath now.”107

“Oh, you mean I must take a bath?”108

“Malista, that what I say no?”109

“Yeah, I suppose so.”  Angie walked to the bathroom, disrobed, climbed into the shallow water and washer her tired bruised body.  There was a knock at the door, “yes.” She answered.110

“You finish?”111

“Not yet, almost,” Angie rinsed and climbed out muttering to herself, “that has got to be the quickest I have ever bathed in my life.”  When she returned to her bed, the doctor was sitting on her bed waiting.112

“Nice to see you up and about.”113

“I don’t think I had much of an option,” she glared at the nurse.114

“So Mrs. Stamatia, are you ready to begin your test?”115

“It’s not Stamatia, It’s Erickson.  Stamatia is my ex-husband’s name, not mine.”116

“I apologise, I did not mean to offend you.  You have been booked in as Mrs. Stamatia.”117

“When I get out of here I am going to kill that man!” She muttered under her breath.118

“Who do you want to kill, not me I hope?”119

“No, not you.  My ex-husband, that’s who.”120

“Now that we have cleared up the confusion, shall we get started on the tests?”121

“That will be great, the sooner I’m out of here, the soon I can kill my ex!” she teased as she was wheeled toward the testing centre.  Once inside the room, the tests began.  First there was blood taken, then needles probed here and pushed there, a million or so questions, then finally an ECG, CAT and MRI scan.  “So when will we know the results?”  She asked the doctors.122

“Hopefully within a couple of hours.”123

“Great, so where do we go from here?”124

“Back to the ward and wait.”125

“More waiting? That’s all I seem to be doing here!” she exclaimed.126

“Come now Ms Erickson, you’ve only been conscious for about twenty-four hours,” Doctor Georgio calmly said as he pushed her back to her ward.127

“That may be so, but I have still lost two days.”  They arrived at her room.  Angie climbed onto her bed and crawled under the sheets.  Dr. Georgio came and sat on the bed next to her, taking her hand in his he looked deep into her eyes, “Don’t worry things will work out, and you will be out of here soon.”128

“How soon?”129

“As soon as we know the results of the tests.”130

“Aargh, it’s always the same shit.  I have better things to do than to lie in hospital and wait.”131

“Like what?”132

“I have a business to sort out.”133

“What business are you in Ms. Erickson?”134

“Import, and Export.  Why?”135

“Just curious.”136

Just then Doctor Alexandros walked into the room, “Hello Dimi.”137

“Kalimera Nick.  How are you?”138

“I’m fine thanks, how is our patient this morning?”139

“I’m fine thank you, and ready to go home,” Angie stated.140

“Not so quickly, we don’t want you to pass out, out there now do we?”141

“I suppose not.”142

“As soon as I have the results, I’ll come give you the news,” Doctor Georgio told Angie.143

Angie closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep again.  144

She woke up a few hours later to find Chanette by her side, “Hey my love, how long have you been here?”145

“About 5 minutes.”146

“Why didn’t you wake me?”147

“Because I love to watch you sleep, besides, I didn’t want to disturb you.”148

“How considerate,” she smiled, “so where’s fuck-face?”149

“I don’t know, he was here with that kid when I got here, but as soon as he saw me he pulled the kid and disappeared from sight.  He’s such an arse-hole, you would think that he’s God’s gift to women the way he struts around here.”150

“He does think that!  Thank God that Jimmy doesn’t think like that!”151

“Angie, here you go again, what are you talking about?”152

“Okay Shanz, I suppose the time has come . . .”153

With that Doctor Georgio pushed the door open stating, “I have your results.”154

“Yes,” Angie screeched with delight, “so can I go home now?”155

“On one condition, you come back tomorrow morning for one last check up.”156

“Sure anything, I’ll see you tomorrow doc!’  Angie jumped out of bed looking for her clothing.157

“Not so quick, you still have to sign a few forms before you go, you can stop by my office on your way out.”158

“So you’re coming home, if you can call a hotel room home!”159

“You betcha. Let me pack my things and we can get out of here.”  Angie packed her few belongings into the overnight bag, and made her way to Georgio’s office.  “I’m ready to sign my life away.”160

“It’s not all that bad, only formalities.”161

Angie signed the necessary documents and walked out of the door straight into Doctor Alexandros.162

“I’m glad I caught you, can we talk?”163

“Sure, you can walk me out, Chanette hopefully managed to arrange some form of transport for us.”164

“What are you doing tonight?”165

“Nothing at the moment, why?’166

“Can I take you out to dinner?”167

“What about the doctor, patient thing?”168

“You were never my patient, you were Dimi’s patient.”169

“Oh, okay then, here is my address,” Angie wrote the address down on a piece of paper and handed it to him.170

“I’ll pick you up at seven.”171

“I’ll be ready.  Bye Doc.”  She said and walked out of the building, “It feels so good to out in the open again.”172

“I can just imagine.  What’s this I overheard, about you and the Divine Doctor?”173

“He asked me out for dinner.”174

“And what did you say?”175

“Yes naturally.”176

“What time is this event taking place?” came the cynical question.177

“I’m being picked up at seven tonight.”178

“For dinner?”179

“Yes for dinner, what is it with you asking me twenty questions?”180

“Just wondering if it will stay at just dinner?”181

“Shanz, don’t piss me off.  Why wouldn’t it stay just at dinner?”182

“Well for starters he looks like a God, and you want to convince me that given half a chance you won’t bonk him?”183

“If we end up in bed, so be it.  But I am not making the first move.”184

“Yeah Angie, I believe you.”185

“Shanz, I have to go shopping.”186

- 13 -187

“Excuse me?  Shopping? In this heat?  You are definitely lust struck, ninety-nine percent of the locals are napping and you want to go shopping now? Do you have any idea where to start?”188

“I know just the place!”189

Angie directed the car towards her destination, stopping at the beginning of an alley.190

“Where are we?”  Chanette asked.191

“The shop I have in mind is just down this alley.”192

“And you know about this place how?”193

“Shanz, you are seriously grouchy today, lighten up.  I’ve known about this place for fucking ever already.”  They entered the shop.  Angie walked directly to the seamstress and began describing the outfit she was looking for.  The seamstress took the tape measure from her neck and measured every inch of Angie’s body.  Chanette was getting impatient.194

“Angie, what’s going on?”195

“She’s measuring me for my outfit.  She can’t make it without some kind of measurement.”196

“And this is going to be ready when?”197

“In a couple of hours.”198

“Hours?”199

“Shanz, I love you dearly, but you are driving me nuts today.  What’s up haven’t you had your daily quota of sex or something?”200

“Don’t be fucking stupid!  I’ve been worried sick about you, being in hospital, and now you force me to run around this fucking place because you need a new outfit.  Sometimes you can be so selfish it makes me sick.”201

“What’s up with you?  Since when have you been so jealous?  Or shall I ask the good doctor to give you an examination tonight when he comes to pick me up?”202

“Fuck off.”203

“Relax Shanz, where’s your sense of humour?”204

“How long is this going to take?”205

Angie spoke to the seamstress, turned to Chanette and said, “She’s finished with the measurements and I can fetch the outfit late this afternoon.  I suggest that we go and have some coffee and lunch and come back in a couple of hours.”206

“Fine, as long as I can get something to eat.”207

“So you’re hungry as well as sex starved.”208

“Angie if it wasn’t due to the fact that I feel faint I would hit you so hard that your grandchildren will still be carrying your bruises.”209

Angie knew that she had better stop mocking Chanette if she valued her life.  They had fought once only in all the years that they knew each other, and it was an experience that Angie would rather forget.  210

“We’re here.” Angie said as she guided Chanette into the shade of a restaurant.  “What would you like?”211

“Anything edible.”212

Angie placed the order with the waiter.213

“Where’s the ladies?”  Chanette asked the waiter before he went to place the order.214

“Down the passage and to your left,” he replied.215

Chanette stood up and went in the direction of the toilets.216

“Feeling better?”  Angie asked courageously, almost expecting Chanette to slap her.217

“I will be in a few minutes.”218

“Let me guess, you didn’t spike this morning?”219

“I never had time, I overslept and then it was a mad rush to get to the hospital.”220

“You’ll never learn will you?  Remember that time in school when you decided not to spike, I can’t remember why.”221

“It was because I hadn’t completed my assignment and I knew that if I could get sent to the infirmary I would have another day.”222

“No-one realised that you hadn’t moved the entire period, you were almost comatose.  And you still got into shit for not taking your insulin, as well as not doing the assignment.”223

“I was grounded for a month, but it was well worth it.  The sister in the infirmary, Sister Mary Joseph, was one hell of a lay!”224

“Oh my god, you didn’t.”225

“Didn’t what?  Screw the good Sister Mary Joseph?  Didn’t everyone in school?  She gave the best muff in town!”226

“She was stunning, and always wore her uniform as short as possible.”227

“Plus she never wore any knickers.  Now back to my previous question, didn’t everyone in school screw her?”228

“How the hell should I know?  I was the only virgin left remember?”229

“So tell me who was your first?”230

“I can’t remember.”231

“You’re lying.”232

“I am not.”233

“Are too.”234

“Am not.  Anyway, even if I could remember, its classified information.”235

“Classified my arse.  You owe me.”236

“Yeah right.  It remains classified.”237

The waiter appeared at their table and placed their order in front of them, “Ladies, enjoy.”238

“Are you serious that you didn’t do Mary Joseph?”239

“I already told you I didn’t do her, but that doesn’t mean that she was totally innocent.”240

“You slut.”241

“She didn’t seem to think so.”242

“When did you manage to go see her?”243

“Remember I was not allowed to attend Phys. Ed. classes?”244

“Kinda.  If my memory serves correctly, your dad had you excused because of a back problem.”245

“Shanz, do you really believe I have a back problem?”246

“It did seem a little strange at the time.”247

“Well Sister Mary Joseph and Doctor Nerdsville, arranged that letter and I signed on behalf of my Dad.”248

“So tell me all the sordid details, and don’t you dare leave anything out.”249

“Do you remember hearing about Motor Mouth?  But you never found out who it was?”250

“Yes,”251

“Well you may be sitting opposite her right now.”252

“But you just said that you never did the good Sister.”253

“I didn’t.”254

“Now I’m confused! I don’t believe you, you were always such a goodie-too-shoes.”255

“My dear friend, there is still a shit load you don’t know about me.  Do you remember the School Doctor?”256

“That nerdy thing?”257

“Yes that nerdy thing.  You should have seen what he looked like under the nerdy doctor’s coat and without his bottle bottom glasses.”258

“Angie!  Carry on, tell me more.”259

“If you keep quiet long enough I will.”260

“It started about the time of Anthony’s party, remember the one you sneaked me out of the house for?”261

“Uh-hum.”262

“Well a little while after that, the good nerdy doctor and I had a scene that lasted until well after we graduated.  After we graduated, you will remember I went away for three weeks?”263

“Carry on.”264

“Immediately after graduation, I was still in my grad gown, we went to his apartment, he wined me, dined me, and dined on me.  We hardly ever got out of bed.  We lived on take-outs and champagne.”265

“So tell me Angie, was he your first?”266

“Not exactly.”267

“But you said you had a scene while you were in school.”268

“Point being?  You are getting your knickers in a twist over nothing.”269

“Angie, who was your first?”270

“Why is it so important to you?”271

“Oh come on Angie, I’m your best friend, friends tell each other everything, especially things like that.” Chanette was whining.272

“Perhaps one day my dear friend, you’ll catch on.”273

Chanette was at a loss for words, she sat looking at Angie with a blank expression on her face.274

“Shanz. Wake up. Your food is getting cold.” 275

Angie brought Chanette back to consciousness, “Shanz you have got to eat, and I have to fetch my outfit from the seamstress.”  They finished their meals in quiet and headed back to the alley where the dress shop was hidden.276

“Do you think it will be ready?”277

“Knowing how quick she works, it’s probably been hanging up for an hour.”278

“So what does it look like?”279

“Shanz, stop being so inquisitive.  You’ll see soon enough.”  They arrived at the seamstress, Angie went in, tried on her outfit and paid for it.280

- 14 -281

“Angie, the Doctor is here,” Chanette called from the entrance of their suite.282

“I’ll be right out.”  Angie stepped out of the bedroom.  Chanette and Nick stared in disbelief.  Her outfit was emerald green.  The top was a corset effect, pulling her waist in and pushing her breasts up.    The skirt part was made of two panels, one in front and one at the back, with a slit on either side.  The only thing keeping the two panels together was gold thread that shone against Angie’s bronzed upper legs.  Her hair was pulled back and tied at the nape of her neck leaving a sleek black tail hanging down her bare back.283

“Y-you sure look different.” Nick stammered.284

“Thank you kind sir,” she answered.  Looking at Shanz she asked, “so, Shanz, does it meet with your approval?”285

“Angie, if you only knew what was running through my mind right now.”286

“That good hey?”287

“Better!” Chanette giggled winking at her friend288

“Shall we go?”  Nick asked feeling left out of their private conversation.289

“Sure.”290

“Where are you going?” Chanette asked.291

“To a little restaurant I found down by the quay, and we’ll see where we go after that.”292

Chanette grinned as they walked out the door.  They arrived at the restaurant a little while later.  Everyone stopped in their tracks and stared as Angie and Nick were ushered to their table.  Nick had arranged a quiet table and a bottle of champagne on arrival.  It was Angie’s turn to be stunned.293

“This place is exquisite. How long has it been here?”294

“For ages.”295

“I’ve been back here a dozen times over the past years, and I especially love walking along the quay, and I have never seen it before.  How did you find it?”296

“I didn’t.  My ex-wife did.”297

“Ex-wife?  You’re divorced?”298

“Yes.  I’ve been divorced for about seven years now.”299

“Does your ex still come here?”300

“That’s her sitting over there staring at you.”301

“Oh!” Angie contemplated waving at the women who was gawking at her, but decided against it.  “That still doesn’t explain how you found it.”302

“It’s a private restaurant, and you can only get in by discreet reservations only.”303

“Oh!” Angie had taken to monosyllable sentences.304

“Shall I order for us, or would you like to have a look at the menu?”305

“Order by all means.”306

Nick gave the order to the waiter and returned his attentions to Angie.  “So Angie, do you always dress to kill, or am I just privileged?”307

“I love to get dressed up, or down, whichever way you look at it.  I can’t exactly walk around the way I feel comfortable.”308

“And how is that?”309

“Naked!”310

“If you had to have walked out the hotel like that, I think I would have taken you straight back to my place and made love to you the whole night!”311

Angie blushed, “Well doctor, if that is how you feel, we will still need to eat as we may need all the energy we can muster!”312

“I think we should finish up, before I am tempted to make love to you right here and now!”313

“Pardon?  Don’t you think we should eat first?”  The words were hardly out her mouth when their food was placed in front of them.  314

“This looks absolutely divine.”315

“Eat and enjoy, for the night is but an embryo.”316

“Are you always so poetic?”  Angie asked.317

“No, only when I’m trying to impress a beautiful woman and get her into my bed,” he teased.318

They continued to tease each other throughout dinner, and another bottle of bubbly.  When they had concluded their meal Nick steered the car out of town.  He eventually stopped in front of a cabin, which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.319

“Where are we?”  Angie asked.320

“At my hideaway.”321

“Which is where exactly?”322

“About an hour and a half out of town, and the closest house is about a twenty minute donkey ride in that direction.”  Taking her hand he led her inside the cottage, “Coffee?”323

“Please.”324

Nick walked over to where she was, took her hands in his, lowered his head placed his lips on hers.  He nudged his tongue into her mouth and kissed her.  Angie melted in his arms.  Nick let her drop onto the sofa and disappeared into the kitchen.  He returned with two cups, “I thought you might enjoy a cup of hot chocolate instead of coffee.”325

“Thank you,” Angie said as she took the steaming cup from him.  Once they had indulged the hot liquid, Nick picked her up and carried her to his bed.  He slowly and meticulously peeled her dress off, exposing her perfect body.  Suddenly the room lit up as lightning flared across the sky, moments later the crash of thunder was heard outside.  Within seconds the skies opened and the rain came belting down.  326

He kissed her body, lingering at her breasts, around her navel and landing expertly on her button of pleasure.  Slowly he manipulated her clit with his tongue until she was on the verge of climaxing.  Opening her eyes she looked longingly into his, ”You know exactly what to do, don’t you?”327

“Of course, anything to make you happy,” moving up her body he placed his lips over hers and kissed her with an urgency that Angie felt deep in her stomach.  Every nerve ending went into overdrive, making Angie wetter than ever.  She reached to him, undid his shirt buttons and took it off.  328

She then found the waist of his trousers, undid the button and unzipped the zipper.  Angie then manoeuvred herself to get on top of him.  She guided her hands into his jocks and coaxed life into his semi-ridgid prick.  Angling herself she placed his growing member between her breasts and aroused him even more, she could feel him throbbing against her damp skin.329

“If you carry on like that, I’m going to come.”330

“In that case . . .” she replied placing her lips over the circumcised head, sucking it into her warm wet mouth.  She could feel his hard cock throbbing deep in her throat.  Removing his hardness from her mouth and looking at him all innocently, “Hope you are enjoying yourself?” she asked licking the inside of his thighs.331

“Couldn’t you tell?”332

He pulled her up and rolled her over, so that she was on her back once more.  “I’m going to make love to you like never before,” he whispered into her ear.  His skilful hand massaged her breasts, leaving her panting for air.  333

He brought his lips down on her neck nibbling the soft flesh.  Angie felt as though she would explode as the fire inside of her threatened to explode.  334

“I need you,” she groaned. He moved lower, tasting the saltiness of her body as he licked her.  She moaned with pleasure.  He edged her thighs open, exposing her shaven pink lips.  He located the opening of her love tunnel and ever so slowly inserted his tongue as deep into her as he could, lapping her juices as he did.  335

Her body arched with delight as he masterfully nibbled and sucked at her love button.  Moving lower, down her legs, past her knees and finally settling on her feet.  He proceeded to kiss her toes, putting one toe in his mouth and sucking it, then the other and so on until he had completed all ten toes.  By this time Angie could not stand it any more and began to manipulate her own clit.  Nick back-tracked his movements back up her body until he lay on top of her.  Skilfully he situated his erect cock at her opening of her throbbing cunt, ever so slowly he inserted himself into her.  Filling her womanhood as he did, she whimpered with delight.  Her pussy walls began to contract Angie couldn’t hold back any more, her breathing quickened, and her motions sped up.  336

Taking his cue from her, Nick picked her up and positioned her on the window ledge, her back against the cold wet window.  The tempo picked up once again, she gripped his back in anticipation, screamed out and digging her nails into his back.  He thrust himself deep into her and spewed his load.  He continued to make love to her as she sat on the window ledge, slowly slowing down until their breathing returned to normal.  337

Taking her hand he escorted her back to the bed, crawling in next to her, he coaxed her into his arms.  “Thank you, for a beautiful night,” he whispered into her ear, before he fell asleep.  Angie lay in his arms listening to the sound of the rain beating against the windows before falling into a deep sleep.  338

- 15 -339

Nick was woken up be the sound of Angie’s scream.  Taking her by the shoulders he shook her, “Wake up, what’s wrong?”340

“What, where am I?”  Angie asked dazed.341

“We’re at my place, remember?”342

Angie looked around as she slowly began to recall the previous night.343

“What happened?”344

“I had a nightmare, I dreamt that I was in an accident, but this time I died,” Angie burst into tears.345

“Don’t worry, you’re safe here,” Nick reassured her holding her close.346

“How come you aren’t on your rounds yet?” Angie asked347

“Because I’m actually on leave, which started two days ago.”348

“But you were at the hospital yesterday!”  Angie was confused.349

“I know.”350

“Are you going to explain, or am I going to play twenty questions?”351

“I suppose I’ll have to tell you sometime or another.”352

“What?”  Angie was getting annoyed at the game that Nick was playing.353

“The only reason that I stayed on at the hospital was because I witnessed your accident, and I wanted to make sure that you would be alright.”354

You saw what happened?”355

“Yes I did.”356

“So are you going to tell me?”  Angie was sitting up all excited on the bed.357

“Angie, calm down,”358

“Calm down? You saw what happened and you want me to calm down?  I lost two days of my life and you want me to calm down?”  Angie was hysterical.  Nick was about to slap her when she realised how ridiculous she sounded.  “Hey what are you going to do?”359

“I was about to slap you to bring you back to your senses.  Now if you really want to know what happened, I’ll tell you, but not before you eat something.”360

“Eat?”361

“Angie, you are not a stupid woman, why do you keep repeating what I have just said?”  Nick asked.362

“Just said . . .” Angie teased, “I’m not always all there in the morning, I need about an hour to wake up.” Angie confessed.363

“I see, now concentrate, and tell me what would you like to eat?”364

“You can cook?” She asked365

“Of course I can cook, how else am I supposed to survive?”366

“Takeaways!” she snickered.  “Now as for breakfast, let me think.  Bacon, Eggs, Mushrooms, Toast and perhaps some fried tomatoes,” came her order.367

“This is only a simple kitchen, not a five star hotel with room service,” he retorted.368

”Damn, so what is on the menu?”369

“Cereal and yoghurt.  I haven’t gone shopping yet.” Nick confessed370

“Cereal and yoghurt it is then.”  Angie agreed.371

Nick brought Angie her breakfast, “So tell me a little about yourself.”372

“Like what?”373

“About your family, yourself, everything.”374

“My mom was born and bred here in Greece.  My father was the typical tall, dark and very handsome business tycoon, born and bred in the States.  I was conceived somewhere over the Atlantic, born in Kalamata, lived in Florida from the age of two ‘til seven when I got shipped of to a private boarding school in Switzerland.  Once I graduated I lived in the UK for a while.  Now I’m in Cape Town, but travel as much as possible.”375

“So where are your parents now?”376

“My mom passed away just before I was two, that’s why my father relocated back to Florida.”377

“And your Dad?”378

“He passed away a couple of years ago.”379

“I’m sorry to that.”380

“Thank you.  We weren’t all that close.  I resented him for many years, for sending me away to boarding school.  What I didn’t realise was that while I was being taught how to be a lady, he was running around the world making a profitable business wherever he could.  It took many years of therapy for me to accept that he had to send me away in order to keep me.  He wasn’t one for babies or children.  Even when I came home for the holidays, I was shipped off to my nanny.  He worked late every night, and I was convinced it was so that he didn’t have to spend time with me.  In reality he was doing what he did best, making money.  We only actually started having proper conversations once I graduated from school and started showing an interest in the business.”381

“What sort of business is it?”382

“He started off buying small companies that were in the verge of bankruptcy, building them up, and selling them for a very healthy profit.  The only one that he would never sell is the one based here in Greece.  I suppose you could call that the mother company, it’s an import/export company which provided the stock for whatever other companies are still under it.”383

“Did he never re-marry?”384

“No, I asked him once why not, and he told me that my mom was the only woman that he ever loved.”385

“Considering that I am not a romantic man, that is very romantic.” Nick commented.  “So how many subsidiary companies are there now?”386

“The last I checked there were about eighteen.  There are instructions on all of the companies that they are not to be sold, if they get sold, until they reach a certain profit margin, and remain at that margin for a period of time.”387

“So how do you manage all the companies?”388

“Very carefully.  That is where the Managers and the likes come in.  I am on twenty-four hour call, so if there is a dire emergency, they can get hold of me.  But on the whole, they manage pretty well.”389

“So if I understand correctly, the only reason you are here in Greece is because there is an emergency with the Mother Company?”390

“In essence, Stavros will try everything in his power to keep my here.”391

“Stavros?  Oh the guy from the hospital?”392

“Yes, my ex-husband.”393

“You have an ex-husband?”394

“Unfortunately.”395

“What else do you do?”396

“I used to model.” She answered.397

“Model? For who?”398

“That was only in my youth.”399

“What youth, you can’t be that old.”400

“Older than you think my dear doctor.”401

“Anyway, who did you model for?”402

“It was only girlie magazines, until my father found out and put a stop to it.” Angie told him.  “So now that you know all about me, tell me about yourself.”403

I was born and bred here.  I studied medicine abroad, and came back here to practice.  My life long dream was to go into Plastic Surgery.”404

“What stopped you?”405

“Helping beautiful women in accidents.” He mocked her.406

“Typical.”407

“What do you mean typical?” He demanded.408

“The whole small town Greek boy thing.  You go study abroad, only to come back and save the village.”409

“Thank you very much, but if you remember correctly, I am divorced and you saw the ex-wife last night.  Theoretically, I should not be allowed to get divorced.”410

“Yeah, I know that one very well.  How did you get it right?”411

“Now that was a typical, story.  She was doing the chauffeur.”412

“You have got to be kidding.”413

“Well it’s the truth.”414

“How’d you meet?”415

“After I finished at Med School, I came back here to open my own practice.  I married the prettiest girl on the island, the only thing was that she couldn’t drive.”416

“So you hired a chauffeur?” Angie interjected.417

“Yip.  Anyway, I ended up working all weird and wonderful hours, trying to make her never ending wants met.  I however, wasn’t the only one working to meet her demands.  While I was delivering a baby here, or stitching a patient there, the driver was doing overtime in my bed.”418

“How did you finally figure it out?”419

“I came home unexpectedly and found them in bed.  They didn’t even try making excuses.  She just quietly packed her bags and left the house before I left for work the next morning.  A few days later I received news that she was filing for divorce.”420

“Ouch.”421

“You telling me.  I didn’t know how I was going to survive.  So I drowned myself in my work and pulled through.  If you don’t mind me asking, why did you get divorced?”422

“It was not your ideal marriage.  I had to marry him and hated every moment of it.  Eventually my father intervened and helped me get out.”423

“That bad hey?”424

“Worse, he is a con artist of note.  He even tried to con my father into giving him half of the business here in Greece, luckily my father was a wise man.  He still managed to acquire some shares, but not enough to have any effect.”425

“He sounds like a total arsehole.”426

“Worse.  He still goes around telling everyone that I’m coming back to him.  Whenever he manages to get me here he parades around as if he owns me.”  Angie stated as she looked up at the clock on the wall, “Shit, is that the time?”427

“Yes, why?”428

“Besides the fact that I had to be at the hospital for a check-up, my plane leaves at eight thirty, and I still need to pack.”429

“Plane?”430

“Yes airplane, the only reason that I came to Greece was because Stavros sent me an urgent SOS message saying there were major problems that only I could sort out.”  Angie got dressed, “Can you give me lift back to the hotel, or shall I call a taxi?”431

“If I had a phone, you could by all means use it.  But alas I do not, so I shall have to drive you back to the hotel my fair maiden.”432

“You are too kind my dear sir.”433

“Where the fucking hell have you been?” Chanette blasted as Angie walked into the suite.434

“Excuse me?  Who died and made you my keeper?”435

“Don’t pull rank with me Angie, it won’t work.  Our plane leaves here in a couple of hours and you’re running around fucking every Tom, Dick and George!”436

“Hold on a moment, and let me correct your obviously failing memory, his name is Nick and I had dinner with him last night.  And another thing, our plane has been delayed so stop freaking out.”  Angie managed to shut Chanette up.  “Now a hello would be nice.”437

“Hello!  Why didn’t you phone and let me know where and what you were doing?”438

“Shanz, you are not my mother, I am also old enough to take care of myself, so can you please back off?”439

“I suppose so.  I just get worried about you?” she pouted.440

“Shanz, you’re my friend, not my keeper. What would you like to do before we have to leave for the airport?”441

Chanette shrugged her shoulders.442

“In that case, I’m going to take a long hot bath!”443
