Someday can Always be Today
Chapter one
Three Years Later…
"LENA!!" Ari called from downstairs
"HOLD ON!" Lena screamed back.
She had been packing for the past week. She tends to be a little forgetful and if she was going to Greece for the summer she doesn't plan on forgetting anything. She just graduated from art school and was one of the top graduates of her class.
She then got a job for PaintersInternational Corp. that is located in New York. They want her to do a few pieces to submit a local museum that is opening in December. She of course agreed since it would be her first task since she was hired. She wanted to prove to them that she was more then worthy for the job. The task they assigned required her to go somewhere with unique culture and beautiful landscape. What better place to relax while working then Greece?
Over the past few years she has realized that there was only one place where she could truly be happy and that was Greece. She knew her friends would always be there for her but she couldn't help but to feel out of place in America. It just wasn't her home. It wasn't the country that flowed threw her blood. Although she loved her friends they all were at different sides of the country.
They had each other through high school and mostly college but when it came time for them to actually peruse their careers they could do no more then to stay in touch via modern day technology. They all emailed, called, texted, IM'ed, myspaced, and facebooked eachother everyday and you could say it was just like old times. But the more she thought about it, it seemed they would hardly ever see one another again.
"LENA YOU'RE GOING TO MISS YOUR FLIGHT!!"
"OKAY I'M ON MY WAY DOWN!" She picked up her 3 duffle bags, her laptop, and her carry on bags. She trudged down the stairs and her mom met her at the bottom. She put them in her car and soon enough they were on their way to the airport.
"Lena I want you to take care of yourself"
"Haven't I always?"
"Well I just want you to be careful." Ari said.
Lena had to admit that her mom was taking this very well. Her going to Greece and all.
"I will. I promise. I'll call every week."
"You better. Or I might just have to come down there myself" and with that Lena had to laugh.
They talked more along the way and when they arrived at the airport Lena took out her bags and said goodbye.
Its not like she's never going to see anyone here again. It's just for a few months. But same as always her mother acted like she was going to be gone years.
It took her almost 45 minutes to get her things checked and to board the plain. She was next to an old couple that looked like they were in there 80's. She couldn't stop the emotion that flowed through her then. Would she ever have a life-time partner like that? Would she ever have someone to love and to love her back. A few years ago she would have said yes immediately but now she wasn't so sure. Thinking about her past, her mind always landed on the handsome Kostos.
Just the thought of him made her get the chills. She would never admit this to her friends but she missed him. A lot. She would always wonder what he was doing. Did he find another bride? Or how he was doing away at school. However long it has been since she last seen him she never forgot his gorgeous face. His built, tan body. Everything about him stuck in her mind. As she thought about him the time seemed to pass her by. When she finally dozed off like the rest of the flight attendance she dreamed about meeting him some day. This was nothing different then the usual dream though. She dreamed about him everyday. But the really special dreams would be when they were together.
When she awoke from her nap she noticed she only had a few more hours on the flight before they would be landing. In that time she took an interest in one of the movies playing on the plain. The Pride and Prejudice. "How ironic" she thought sarcastically to herself….
"Good evening ladies and gentleman, we will be arriving in Greece any moment now and there may be some slight turbulence so I ask that you put on your seat belts and hold onto any other loose items" the flight attendant said over the speakers.
A few hours later she was in her newly acquired apartment. It had one room, a small kitchen, an even smaller bathroom, and a living room. It was all that she needed. She was used to coming here and staying with her grandparents but since her grandmother sold their house when her grandfather died that was no longer an option. Her grandmother had decided to move in with one of her oldest and dearest friends who conveniently lived about a mile away from her old home. They said Lena should visit them regularly so they can get caught up in the gossip.
There was a slight knock on the door and she wondered who it was. She doesn't know anybody that lived here, other than….
"Hey Lena! Its Mato." Mato? Had she ever met a Mato? He had dark brown hair and a long muscular body. He must have sensed the confusion on her face because he quickly recovered.
"I'm your next door neighbor. I live just on the other side of these walls." he said while motioning around the apartment.
"Oh, Nice to meet you Mato. How did you know my name?" Her curiosity was winning over her manors right now.
"My father owns this apartment building." He said while grinning. She wasn't sure if she liked him yet. Was it considered friendly to greet your neighbors the second the move in? Or was he leaning towards the stalkerish kind? She decided friendly when she saw that he was holding a plate of brownies. She glanced down at him and he shoved them into her hands.
"Thank you Mato!"
"No, Problem. I'll see you around Lena"
"Yeah, See ya." And with that he was out the door.
