time.”
“Boring!” Melissa moaned as the others
laughed. “So how did the meeting go?”
“Looks like we are moving to New
York darling.” Nikos smiled.
“Excellent! When do we leave?”
“Just after Katie goes back to England.”
----
“Mel are you really happy about this?”
Andreus asked. “It’s going to be a lot of
hassle moving with a tiny baby and then back
again just six months later.”
“It’s my dream to live in America!
Besides it’s better for us to move there than
you two to be separated for six months!”
“Ok, so long as you’re happy.”
“Oh I am.” She laughed. “I’ll be even
happier if I get to be a maid of honour when I
get back. Katie choked on her juice, Andreus
laughed as he tapped her back and Nikos
rolled his eyes
“Jesus Mel, I cant take you anywhere!”
Chapter 17
Andreus and Katie spent ten days on
the yacht sailing to Kos, Crete and Rhodes.
He had intended to take her to more of the
islands and to Turkey but she had loved
Rhodes so much they’d decided to spent the
rest of their time their. When they arrived
back in Athens, they spent two days locked up
in the apartment before spending the last day
of her holiday at his parents home.
“Hello Katie.” Sophia Sillas smiled as
she kissed both of her cheeks. “Welcome
back! Did you enjoy the sailing?”
----
“It was fantastic! The islands are
beautiful.”
“We stayed in Rhodes for seven days,
we hardly sailed.” Andreus laughed.
“You said you were happy to stay
there.”
“I was! Believe me sweetheart I have
spent my whole life travelling the islands, I
was happy in Rhodes because you were there
with me.”
“You little softy!” Melissa laughed as
she walked over. “Oh Kate, he is definitely
the tyrant Nikos made him out to be isn’t he?”
She rolled her eyes. “He’s made of
marshmallow really.”
“Marshmallow!” Andreus laughed. “I
am a tyrant, don’t ruin my reputation.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Katie laughed as
she wrapped her arms around Andreus’ waist.
She caught Sophia giving them a
disapproving look and stepped away quickly.
They all walked to the pool where Theo
and Nikos were playing with baby Sophia,
Andreus walked over to them smiling leaving
Melissa and Katie sitting at the table on the
terrace. “Mel, do Greek parents disapprove of
showing affection in public?”
“No! Why?”
“When I put my arms around Andreus a
minute ago Sophia gave me a filthy look, I
----
don’t think they approve of me.” Katie said
sadly.
“Why wouldn’t they?”
“Because I’m an English single mother.
Maybe they think he should marry a Greek
beauty.”
“I’m English, they don’t have a
problem with me and never have.”
“Maybe it’s because of Rhiannon then.”
“I’m sure they like you Kate, besides
you’re Andreus’ choice, it has nothing to do
with her. Talk to Andreus.”
“No, I don’t want to make a big thing
of it. It’s not like we’re serious yet, we’ve
only been together for eight weeks.”
“Are you joking! Nikos and I were
already talking about marriage and children
by then! Andreus loves you Kate, Nikos has
even said he’s never seen Andreus act with
another woman they way he is with you. Even
if the family were worried about you being a
single mother they’d never treat you or speak
to you with anything less than politeness.”
“I suppose.”
“They do like you Kate. Especially
Theo, he always asks me how you and
Rhiannon are and when you’re coming over
for a visit.”
----
“I just don’t want anything to come
between Andreus and I, I’m mad about him.”
Katie smiled as Andreus started to walk
towards them with Sophia in his arms.
“Nothing will Kate, Nik, Andreus and I
will make sure of it.” Melissa smiled.
“You ladies are looking very serious.”
He laughed as he sat with them and handed
Sophia to Katie.
“Love is a very serious subject Mr.
Sillas.” Melissa
