Chapter Fifteen
It was still raining Tuesday morning, strong gusts of wind buffeting the small Greek island. The old fishing boats rocked at their anchors in the harbor, which strained to secure them against the rough waters.
âGood morning,â she whispered in his ear. âI never knew it could be like that, so wonderful, so consuming, yet so kind. Oh, Jack, thank God for that ferryboat bringing you here to me.â She twirled the hairs on his chest into small loops as they lay with their bodies intertwined. He chuckled in agreement.
The rain stormed outside and they listened to it beating the roof above their bed. Tuesday, she thought, as she lay in his arms. Three more days of glory, and then the ferry would come for him. Having just found him again, she didnât want to give him up, no, not after all these years. But what could she do? She wasnât going lose him again.
He interrupted her thoughts, whispering, âJust my luck, I come to Greece and it rains. It has never rained any other time Iâve been here.â
âWell⦠We will just have to spend the whole day in bed,â she said with the enthusiasm of a giggling girl, cuddling closer to him. Then she said with a start, bouncing to her knees, âNow you can teach me the Argentine tango and I can teach you how to speak Greek. What do you say? Huh? Jack?â Her eyes grew wide in excitement.
Jack could not say a word. He lay there looking at her, watching her bright, emerald green eyes glistening like precious gems. She knelt in front of him, wearing only a smile, her body like that of a goddess. She was beautiful and he wanted her, again.
âLater,â he told her. âI have a better idea of how to spend our morning.â He pulled her back onto him. âIâll teach you to dance later.â The rain, which had stopped briefly, began again in its relentless, pounding rhythm.
Soon exhausted, they fell back together, and were soon asleep in each otherâs arms. They held each other close, never wanting to let go. They had found their peace; they had found one another once more.
When he awoke, Jack said quietly, âGood morning, lover girl,â as she lay beside him, dozing like a baby, her head resting on his chest. He had found her after all these years. Now what was he going to do? He was determined not to lose her. But how? He had to have a plan.
âKalimera,â she muttered without opening her eyes.
âWhat?â he asked her.
âKalimera is Greek for good morning.â She stretched her arms, lifting briefly from him before returning to her warm nesting spot. âRemember the deal? I teach you to speak Greek and you teach me how to dance the Argentine tango,â she said, her eyes still closed.
âRight. Well, if you insist, especially since it looks like itâs going to rain most of the day. We better get started. Letâs see what music you have downstairs. Ready?â
âNeh!â
âKnee?â
âNo, neh. That is Greek for yes.
