Effie was right in her thinking. Nicolas was still down at the water. She walked up behind him. "Hi." He didn't act startled. "So your sister is Lena Kaligaris? Effie was shocked. "How did you know that?" Nicolas stared back out into the water. "Her kidnapping was all over the news Effie, and second…you kind of look like her." Effie hadn't thought about the first possibility. They didn't have a television in the house. "Yeah…Lena is my beautiful older sister." Nicolas looked Effie in the face. "You are beautiful." Effie could feel herself blushing. Guys usually just told her that, so that they could get something. If Nicolas had wanted something, he would have tried already. "So?" Nicolas asked. "How long are you going to be here?" Effie shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know…three more weeks… or so." "That's cool." Nicolas stated. "I'll be here for another two." "Wait…" Effie said as she turned to him. "You don't live on the island?" Nicolas laughed. "No…I don't. My grandparents live here. My dad and I come often. I actually live in the states." Effie hit him in the arm. "No freaking way! I live in D.C….well not really…but just outside! Where do you live?" "I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. But my mom actually lives in D.C. She moved there last year. She's in the senate." All of a sudden it dawned on Effie. "Your mom is Linda Galanis?" Nicolas laughed at the information Effie knew. "The one and only." "So you would be Nicolas Galanis?" Effie asked him. "Nic for short….if you want to get technical my full name is actually Aristotle Nicolas Alexander Galanis the Third." Effie couldn't help but laugh. "Well, I can see why you would want to leave off everything else!"
Lena walked out of the bathroom and into her room to finally find Effie laying on the bed. "How'd it go Eff?" Effie was laughing. "imagine that Lena. Nicolas doesn't even live in Greece. He's from the states. He spends time commuting between North Carolina….and D.C……can you believe that?" Lena took the towel off of her hair. "That's cool Effie. Just don't get hurt." Effie couldn't believe her sister. "Lena…just let me have some fun." Lena turned to face her sister. "You know Effie…I wish I had someone to tell me to be cautious when I met Kostos. I'm just trying to protect you!" Lena stormed out of the room and back into the bathroom, where she turned the water back on and climbed back into the shower…still in her clothes. She stood still under the water. "I must be going crazy!" She said out loud to herself.
Lalala...Effie gets another chapter.
